In the heart of Amsterdam, Netherlands the blue skies showed no signs of rain. The glassy skyscrapers tall enough to touch the sky, the noise of the busy city mornings echoed through the bussling city. Admist the noise and Hussle, there was a particular boy with bags under his eyes, black curly hair in glasses who still refused to wake up. He tossed and turned on his bed in his parents' 2-storey home.He raised his upper body from the bed and finally opened his eyes and he was in a pool of sweat . He stared at his palms which were sweaty all over. His eyes moved around scanning the dark gloomy painted walls of the room as if he was in an unfamiliar place. A thought came to his head and he finally remembered "The world ended".The world was destroyed after the players failed to defeat the 99th floor boss and the time limit was elasped. The young man got up from his bed staring at his reflection in the mirror. He looked like his 17 year old self,"8 years ago".There was only one conclusion he could draw from the situation.
~Denzel:- I have regressed [he touches his face]
Denzel looked at the holographic alarm clock across the other side of his bed which had the date boldy written,"9th March 2099" [6:35am]. The expression on Denzel's face quickly turned into a smile
~Denzel:- [to himself] I've got "another chance" to climb the tower again.
Denzel had retained the memories he had before regressing and he knew that anytime from now the 'break' would occur. The break was the name given to the event of when the dungeons and towers began spawning around world. Denzel wasted no time and started preparing for the break. While he was preparing for the break, his mother opened the door and called him down for breakfast.
~Mrs.Rünter:- Denzel, what's holding you up, it's breakfast time [she scans the room]. What's with this mess, clean up your room and come down for breakfast, your dad is waiting.[she slams the door]
Denzel almost forgot that 8 years ago his parents were still alive and healthy. He still remember's the incident that killed his parents in an unforseen dungeon break near their house. Denzel felt like the pieces of the puzzle were falling in place and he made a vow to kill the monster that caused him that pain his past life. Denzel set his room back in order and went down for breakfast. He saw both his mom &dad sitting at the dinning table waiting for him. He reached for the chair farthest away from his parents and sat on it. He was now sitting face to face with his parents. His father spoke first.
~Mr.Rünter:- Denzel, I've found another therapist that I'm optimistic can help relieve your situation [Sips his coffee]
He is scheduled to meet you within the course of this week.
When Denzel heard his father's voice he could not hold his tears back any longer. He ran and jumped unto his parents hugging them tightly. His parents were bewildered, not only was their son showing emotions he was happy. Denzel spoke the words that he failed to tell his parents before they died in his past life.
~Denzel:- Mom, dad [tearing up] you can stop worrying now. I am finally at peace.
Mr.&Mrs.Rünter didn't know what had come over their son but they were touched by his words, it brought them the comfort they needed. The Rünters had a lovely family bonding moment. Denzel packed up and was ready to set out to his first location. He left his parents with a little message before he went.
~Denzel:- Oh! I almost forgot mom and dad, please don't leave the house today.[ He smiled and waved]
Mr.& Mrs.Rünter didn't want to go deep into what had come over their son, he seemed like a different person. They knew whatever it was it was best left unknown. They agreed to Denzel's requests and called a day off from their various jobs. Denzel got on his jet bike and hit the road. Denzel wasn't heading to school that Monday morning. He was going to one of the locations where a dungeon spawned during the break in Amsterdam,"Main Street Av.191" . He was on his way to the location when the system message appeared infront of him. He stopped the bike and smiled. He opened the system message [Welcome! Player no.9,999,999].
~Denzel:- Finally, it's about time you came around.
Denzel stared at his status window looking through his stats and he saw something a little bit different from his past life;

Denzel's intelligence and dexterity had increased. There was also another ability that he gained apart from his[ eye of truth], [psycho mode] which had been locked until further notice. Denzel didn't really think much about the changes, he expected as much since he had regressed 8 years back. Denzel reached the location of the first dungeon break. A purple portal started forming in the air. Denzel got off his bike and pulled out his weapons he brought for the raid from his backpack. The equipment included a dagger, a kevler vest, and weoponized gloves. Denzel was set for his first raid. He stood before the dungeon(portal) and his eyes began to glow red
[Appraisal]
The name of the dungeon appeared "Goblins Den (F-rank dungeon)". This was one of the abilities of Denzel's gift,[eye of truth] .Denzel found it very handy in his past life and didn't understand how such an ability was from an "F-rank" gift. Denzel pulled out his dagger from the side of his waist and kept spinning it while he entered the dungeon.
~Denzel :- [excited] Here I go! [He enters the portal]
[THE DUNGEON BREAK BEGINS]
