Essence Original novel 'Death Game'

Chapter 1: The Game You Can't Exit\AD 2033_\Humankind has fully mastered Virtual Reality technology_\Creating what is known as a fully imaginary space_\This technology is widely applied in various fields_\Today, the world's first large-scale VR online game has been successfully developed_\Its name is 'SharweaponWorld'_\Unlike traditional online games, running this game only requires a gaming platform called 'VrCD.' It looks similar to a boxing helmet and serves as the fundamental base for the game. Through numerous signal components embedded inside, it generates multiple electric fields that connect directly to the user's brain. This allows the user to experience vision, smell, hearing, taste, and touch—the five senses—without relying on real-world organs, making it feel as if they are experiencing the 'real world.'_\However, after using this device, the user becomes completely 'isolated' from the real world. All commands from the brain to the body are intercepted and recycled by the 'VrCD,' analyzed, and applied within the game. Simply put, the person's consciousness fully enters the game. This function is designed to allow users to move freely within the game without external interference._\In SharweaponWorld:\Ultrfas Continent. Starting Town. Southwest Prairie\Chris. standing lightly on the grass. The green prairie meets the blue sky in the distance, and the breeze brings bursts of coolness… No matter how many times he experiences the lifelike scenery and tactile sensations, it is hard to believe this is a world within a game._\Chris raised the bow in his hand, aimed at a black boar not far away, and drew the string. The system detected the drawing action, and suddenly an arrow appeared on the previously empty bow. Chris released the string, and the arrow shot toward the boar at incredible speed. The boar's HP bar dropped by nearly three-fifths the moment it was hit._\Chris's attack enraged the boar, which recklessly charged at him. Yet Chris did not prepare to defend or dodge; he moved toward the boar. As they were about to collide, Chris jumped into the air, skillfully avoiding the boar's attack, simultaneously spinning 180 degrees, drawing the bow again, and firing at the boar._\Battle won! Experience gained: 7, Bella 25, Loot: 0._\Chris lay on the soft grass. A breeze blew past, bringing an incredibly comfortable sensation._\For Chris, rather than continuously leveling up in the game, it was better to come here and fully enjoy the comfort that 'nature' provided.Unlike during the closed beta period, he had plenty of time to level up later.
"Help!" Just as Qian was planning to take a short nap, a scream caught his attention. He turned his head toward the source of the sound and saw a player who looked like a young girl, holding a bow, being chased by a wild boar and panicking as she ran toward him.
Qian hadn't even had time to get up and avoid it when she stomped on his groin with her foot, the pain instantly paralyzing his whole body. That wasn't enough—the wild boar chasing the girl also stomped on it... Poor Qian, after experiencing this twice in a row, the pain was beyond words... For the first time, Qian hated the realism of the game.
And for the girls who stomped on him, it was as if nothing had happened; they each ran their own way, chasing their own targets.
"Stupid wild boar, don't underestimate me," the girl said while running and drawing her bow. When the arrow appeared on the bow, she turned and shot at the boar. With a roar, the wild boar was eliminated.
"Huh? Did I just step on something?" The girl looked along the path she had just fled, then saw Qian holding his groin and opening the game menu. She relaxed when she saw he had lowered the pain settings in the system from 30% to 0%.
