Within the popular VRMMORPG «New Genesis», there was a ranker by the name of Arthur Holmes, commonly known by his in-game alias «Merlin».
Arthur was one of the few original beta testers still playing after 30 years, he was originally a ranker, a player whose entire goal was to stay at the top, ahead of everyone else.
However after 15 years he sacrificed his player ranking in search of knowledge.
Arthur became a lore hunter, a player who indulges himself with the world’s vast lore and unexplored history, preferring to uncover the world’s secrets rather than endlessly fighting monsters.
At the age of 48, 30 years after the game came out, Arthur uncovered the greatest secret of all, and yet, ironically, his negligence in levelling up was the one thing holding him back from realising his goal, he knew he would never be able to catch up to the rankers, a gap of 15 years was Impossible to overcome.
If only he could restart…

Comments on the novel chapters for the last week.
Has this been dropped?
Ummm you need to read more if you think it was uncalled for
Ive read till Ch1-16 Heres what i think early chap only have few imp points and all it talks about is how the mc is so petty he arrogantly talks to his teacher and made him lose his job that was uncalled for. And its flawed it says the game wasnt made by anyone but. his father company made capsules and basically owns the game wtf is this logic lol Looks like a newbie writer who dumbs details to make chap longer Good writers makes the information short and simple which takes more hardwork than writing way too many useless details Ill stick for few more chap and lets see if some dumb sht shows up more
this is actually really good. not sure why i was expecting a drag, but so far its quite good. a little too detailed but not more so that other top rated reads.gunna have to drop a few coin in webnovel to support after next paycheck.++
complaints about the mc at chapter 95 1. I dont understand why mc is still so weak in fighting these lower weak mobs i know he is also weak but after 15 years of fighting to stay at the too ranking you’d think he’d develop some sort of fighting style other than just being resourceful like swordsman ship or something because hes struggles way too damn much 2. he has 30 years of game knowledge and photographic memory but 95 chapters in hasnt used or dosent know any cheats or exploits for rewards or items for himself also dosent talk about any use of it in the future to monopolize rewards or stay ahead of the others so bassicly mc goes back in time after 30 years of playing the game is so-so in combat and has no knowledge currently that can help him get stronger faster hes bassicly just a normal user at this point or a genius user ig
update currently on chapter 32 i know i said the descriptions for the fights was great but god damn is it long we dont need 5 pages of details on the fight for these low level mobs like im already just skimming the page until it says quest complete because of how descriptive and long author draws out these minuscule fights
♦️if you just read chapter 2 and read the skills and the fight scene that happens you”ll understand right then and there this is gonna be good currently at chapter 8 pacing is good characters have actual brains and are sensible so is mc just hoping that he”ll use his foresight to its max getting secret achievments and items and dungeons
I’ve avoided reading any novel where author chooses stupid names for the MC… (Arthur/Merlin… really?) but I’ll give this a shot
