He should be here soon.

*ding dong*

I walk to my door and peek through the door hole. It's Aki.

Heh...speaking of the devil.

I open the door.
"Hey, bro! The registration for BOG is today, any longer and we will be late. Hurry!" Says Aki.

"Yeah...sure," I say before closing the door.
----------
We walk to the BOG centre and bought a virtual headset. It connects your entire nerves in your brain for you to be able to feel pain, hunger, cold, etc... In the game.
That's why BOG is so hard to clear.

BOG...is like a VR game but instead, the developer aims to make the game as real as possible.

Even though 1 billion people registered, only 20 survived till stage 50.

However, the winning money is 10 billion US dollars for everyone who cleared the game. That's what I need.

Those...bastards...i will kill all of them.

"Okay, I will head home and plug in the headset. Be sure to add me once you are online too! My username is Aki!"

"...ok"

Aki looks at me with curiosity. I'm glaring at him.

"A-Anyway, I'm going home now! See you later."
And he left.

...

I went home soon after and plugs in the virtual headset. Laying on the bed and wearing the headset, I command "system start."

An abundance of light overwhelmed my conscious and I went into a deep sleep.

....

I open my eyes and found myself floating in the void.

A panel appears in front of me, asking me for my username and password.
"Username, Karma. Password, ********* "

The panel breaks and so does the void, revealing me to a world full of people. The game hasn't started yet, this is the lobby...

The lobby is like a sci-fi city. There are neon lights everywhere and NPCs selling equipment and necessity. It is quite dark but all the scattered neon lights created a nice atmosphere. I love the lobby the most.
It is also an island floating in the middle of a void. Alright, that's enough for the lobby.

At this point, everyone didn't know how hard the game is. They are all underestimating this game, knowing that they could "restart". But that's a lie, once you die, you are out. You cannot log in anymore.

And they also will notice that this game is basically like real life: you need to eat, sleep, drink and can even get bruises, diseases and as such. It's so real...damn it.

I open my status screen.

---------
That "???" Skill is still there...what the...

Whatever. Since I have some money, I should go buy some food and water. Right now, the stock is highest as people rarely care about them or...they did not notice that you can become hungry and thirsty for now-

A system message unexpectedly interrupted my trains of thought.
-------
Congratulations. You have unlocked the hidden skill: Mind of an expert

...huh?

--------
Due to the knowledge of the game the user has, the user has now cleared the conditions for "Mind of an expert".

1000% increase in exp gained.

...uh what?!

I did not know such a miracle like this could happen...but I will take it.

Now...i remember all of your names and faces.

Aki, Leon, Rina, Nana, Recardo, Juliet, En, Liza, Rena and so on...

All of you will die by my hands!

"hahaha..."

"T-This guy is crazy, let's go." Say a passer-by.

Oh, I didn't realise I was...
Ahem...
I should go to the cafeteria.
