Chapter One

Gavin Brooks! Forward!

Ever since returning from the Sunset Mountains three days ago, Gavin Brooks had locked himself in his room, refusing to go out no matter how much his roommates tried to persuade him.

“So embarrassing... This is just too embarrassing!”

Three days ago, Auckland Academy arranged an exam for the new students of the junior class, held in the Sunset Mountains.

Among the new students taking the exam, Gavin Brooks could definitely be considered top-tier.

He had only been enrolled for less than a year, yet already possessed the level of a level-three warrior. Even the Auckland Academy’s warrior department instructor, level-five warrior Rodney Brooks, had once said—among the new students in Junior Class 2, Gavin Brooks has great potential, both talented and hardworking. Maybe in a few years, this kid will surpass this old man...

But who could have known, right after the instructor said that, Gavin Brooks had an accident in the Sunset Mountains.

Among the promising new students of Junior Class 2, Gavin Brooks didn’t even get a chance to take the exam before he was inexplicably knocked out by something.

And what knocked him out was actually a hat that fell from the sky!

This incident became a joke and quickly spread throughout Auckland Academy.

Now, almost the entire Auckland Academy knows that among the new students, there’s a guy whose looks are “criminal.” It’s said that his criminal level of good looks is so outrageous that even during an exam, a hat fell from the sky and knocked him out on the spot.

Thinking about how, for years to come, he would be known as the “criminally good-looking guy,” Gavin Brooks even considered dropping out.

“I really can’t go on like this...”

In Gavin Brooks’s hand was the very culprit that knocked him out that day.

It was a sky-blue hat, with a wide brim and a tall, pointed top—a standard wizard’s hat. At Auckland Academy, almost every student in the magic department wore one like this.

And precisely because of this, Gavin Brooks just couldn’t figure out how such an ordinary wizard’s hat could have knocked him out cold.

While he was still puzzled, the door was pushed open again.

In came Logan Brooks, one of Gavin Brooks’s best friends at Auckland Academy.

“Hahaha! I heard there’s a criminally good-looking guy in our academy... Eh! Gavin Brooks, why do you look so pale?”

“Damn!”

“Gavin Brooks, you look so pale, are you sick? Want me to get some potion from Professor Ross? Oh right, I heard the exam that day was led by Professor Ross. I wonder if he knows that guy...”

“You know that guy too.”

“Really?”

“I’m the criminally good-looking guy!”

“...”

After kicking out Logan Brooks, the more Gavin Brooks thought about it, the angrier he got. He simply covered his face with the hat and went to sleep.

...

Gavin Brooks stood outside the blacksmith shop, dazed for a long time.

“What the hell is this place...”

He had asked this question more than thirty times in the past two hours.

And the voice claiming to be the system elf had patiently explained it to him more than thirty times.

“This is the Endless World, a virtual game space built with third-generation virtual technology.”

But Gavin Brooks still didn’t understand what third-generation virtual technology was, or what a virtual game space meant.

He did know “virtual”—a term often used in illusion magic.

He also knew “game”—like the annual Auckland Cup tournament.

But putting the two words together, Gavin Brooks was baffled. A tournament like illusion magic? Damn! What kind of nonsense is this...
