Yin-Yang Harmony System Chapter 11: Human fears Death

After dinner, Mike laid on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, he woke up and the first thing he did was something he needs a finish in his toilet. Well, he didn’t jerk, it’s just morning routine. But after breakfast, he said looked at the parcel that has been received this morning.

This parcel was from Hunter Guild. He brought the parcel back to his room after telling his mom about the parcel.

The parcel wasn’t that big. But he was very much excited to open the parcel. After he opened it, the first thing he saw was a helmet. This helmet was spherical and had no colorful features to it. But it had different energy sources that even he could feel from outside.

Although everything was fine, this helmet made him dispirited. It was so much like a helmet of a bike. Ascension to Godhood had different features than just a game. It was a completely different dimension where a person can enter with his main body.

It is not a game where you can die and resurrect while losing few levels, here you die then you die. A person can’t be resurrected at least he hasn’t anyone returning after dying inside the game. But this game has a unique feature. It can create a clone that is the same as the main body over everything including, feelings and emotions.

But it can’t hold the superpower or innate ability. Once the main body dies inside the game, the clone will inherit everything from him and live like a normal human. Sadly but it’s true, this wasn’t the virtual game where a person can die and get resurrected.

After he settled everything, he picked up the helmet and laid on the bed while wearing the helmet on his head. Suddenly, everything in front of him turned black for a moment. After the darkness, light glowed and Mike found himself in a white room.

But he wasn’t alone. There was a girl, a beautiful girl in front of him. She was floating just like him. Her face was whitish with a luster of pink. She had gorgeous crystal black pupils with black hair falling down her shoulder.

She was wearing sexy tight pants and a jacket which was completely odd for his imagination. She opened her rosy lips “Hello Hunter! My name is Natasha and I’m your guide. Here, I will take your time and explain everything you need to know about Ascension to Godhood.”

“As you already know, Ascension to Godhood is a virtual reality world that was created to hold the monsters that try to invade the earth. It is a very special world but also very much limited. So, we need hunters that are willing to risk their lives to kill the monsters and decrease their numbers.”

“For your hard work, you will be given experience points aka EXP and bronze coins. But this is not a completely virtual world. Here, people will die. But in the recent decade, humanity has created a new feature for Ascension to Godhood.”

“To make it more like a game, creators have included NPC system. This means when a person dies, his soul will transform into a new body and live within the game. NPC is the person from your world but they can not return.”

“Their main job is to defend against those monsters. They get resurrected with their previous strength and kill more monsters before dying again. Of course, they get resurrected based on their kill.”

“Once you enter the game, the helmet will regenerate a clone that would be no different than your body. So, even if you die, you can live as a clone with all of your memories and emotions. The only loss would be Innate Ability since it couldn’t be replicated.”

“Replication?” Mike suddenly spoke with disbelief on his face. He wanted to know how the system generates the clone and what is its limitations? But he didn’t expect to hear replication.

“Yes, our technology has reached the point where we can replicate humans. And this replication will be a hundred percent similar for normal humans.” Feeling his stimulated emotions, Natasha put on a genuine smile and answered.

“But we can’t replicate mutated cells and so we can’t create humans that can fight against the Alkiwon or any other races. Even our greatest technology does not affect the current stage of humanity. Maybe someday, we could create weapons that can save humanity but currently, we don’t have much brainpower.”

“Ascension to Godhood has a special feature to improve one’s cultivation through constant fighting. In other words, you are improving your skills while improving your cultivation by killing monsters. But the reason why Ascension to Godhood is unique is because of its inheritance function.”

“Once a monster dies, the hunter can inheritance if that monster has something good to inherit, slowly improving their talents.”

“Now, would you like to enter the Ascension to Godhood?” With a smile, Natasha asked him.

Hearing her question, Mike didn’t reply. For a moment, he was sunk in different thoughts. He got angry over the fact that they resurrect a dead person as an NPC to defend against the monsters. Of course, he had a calm mind so he understood this quickly.

This world can’t hold a large number of monsters, so they need to be decreased. But a person won’t ever return to the Ascension to Godhood after his death.

People fear death. Death is the most horrible expression that any creature could ever face. The fear of death pushes those monsters on the path of evolution. And same goes for humans. Everyone wants to live longer.

Even Mike fears death. This is why he hasn’t done anything related to sex. Especially when he knows the most pleasurable thing is nothing but sex. Even knowing that he controlled himself because he fears death.

The fear of death was so strong for him that he didn’t even dare to masturbate until he confirmed the truth. This was the fear, a fear of a person who has died once. So, he understands the feeling of people who dies in the game.

People are also selfish. A person saves his/her life first only then think about someone else. They are no superheroes, they are simple humans awakened with an innate ability. Nobody treasures other than themselves except the people most close to them.

If a person doesn’t return and decides to stay at the home with his strength, monsters will get an edge. Even though his strength won’t increase, he would be prioritized the safety of his people more than others.

That means he won’t enter the virtual world rather wait until the monsters attack the earth. He would more willing to protect his family than others. This is why the most dangerous people in the world are leaders, qualified leaders to be exact.

In 21st century earth, there were many leaders in the past but only a few of them were remembered till now. There were few people how could convince their entire country to fight against the world. These leaders were the most feared ones, not because of their strength rather their power to command.

(PS: There are many leaders that I don’t want to mention here but you can easily imagine them.)

Soldiers were ready to sacrifice themselves and their families to protect the law for that leader. But in his eyes, he completely disliked those people instead of fearing them. Why? He knows the people from the 21st-century earth have no superpower, if ten men work together, they can easily overthrow those leaders relying on their fist.

But nobody had courage. Of course, he didn’t disdain them because people need to be bound by laws. Otherwise, humans won’t be any different than monsters and animals. Even they non-hesitantly follow their leader.

This is why Mike was freakishly excited when he found he was reborn in this world. Although there were many restrictions, one quote was eternal ‘Strength proves everything’. As long as he gets strong, he can do whatever he wants.

It’s not that this world isn’t bound by laws but if you are an emperor, except few restrictions, nothing can bind you. And if a person is even at the peak of Emperor Realm, nothing can rind him. More importantly, what he favors most was present here.

Adventure, not just the adventure within the earth but also the space adventure. This is why the anger in his heart calmed down very quickly. Mike understood they did everything to keep the balance in the world.

This earth had laws and it wasn’t unruly like those cultivation worlds that he had read in novels. If all common people disappear, the balance will be shattered. If a company doesn’t have any work other than the CEO, would it work?

If an academy doesn’t have any students, would it run? No! There is a need for balance in everything and the creator of ‘Ascension to Godhood’ understood this truth. So, they developed such a function to keep the earth safe.

“Yes!” Finally, after thinking for a while, Mike nodded his head.

“Please write your name!” With Natasha’s commands, a white keyboard appeared in front of him. Seeing the keyboard, Mike wrote his name.

“Good luck hunter! You can see your status by calling ‘status’ inside the game.” With her words, Mike’s vision blurred, finally falling into complete darkness. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a panel with few words written on it.

“Welcome to the City of Athens, Mike Tyson!”
