In 2052, a virtual game called The extradimensional world (TEW for short) that once swept the globe was on the decline. TEW was the first virtual reality game developed by various countries worldwide, and it had been running successfully for 12 years since 2040. It witnessed numerous new players becoming veterans and offered a wide variety of gameplay options. However, as time went on, a new game was created based on TEW, instantly taking away 98% of TEW's player base. Only 2% of players remained, indifferent to the situation. As there was still some time before the new game launched, they could use this time to tie up loose ends in TEW.
"Do you really want to abandon our faith?" Yuewu slammed the table excitedly in the guild base of TEW's game world, glaring angrily at the others present.
"Moonless, you must have seen it too. We are not abandoning TEW, but rather, TEW has reached its end. We are simply adapting to the times," a burly man in knight attire replied, his hands crossed over his chest as he sat with closed eyes.
"So, you're abandoning me and our belief!" Yuewu exclaimed.
"We can start afresh in the new game. We don't have to part ways," a female summoner interjected.
"That's true," Yuewu nodded in satisfaction.
"I really don't know how you managed to pursue Feifei in the game," the summoner girl shook her head.
"There's still time now, why don't we…"
Before Yuewu could finish his sentence, the knight interrupted him, "No, it's already late. I have to pick up my daughter from kindergarten. So, I'll log off now. See you guys in the new game."
The knight logged off after he finished speaking.
"Me too, I have to prepare my graduation thesis," a male mage said before logging off.
"Me too…"
...
One by one, members of the guild logged off, leaving only Yuewu and the summoner girl.
"Wenwen, why don't we…"
"No, it's my eleventh birthday today, I have plans. I'll log off too," the summoner girl shook her head.
"Then happy birthday, Wenwen," Yuewu was taken aback for a moment before wishing her a happy birthday.
"Thanks, Uncle Toe-picker," the summoner girl teased.
"I'm only 31, not an uncle, and I don't have the habit of picking my toes," Yuewu retorted.
"Alright, I'm logging off. The guild leadership has been transferred to you, and all our consumables and materials are in the guild warehouse. Take them all, since you're still playing, right?"
"Wow, those materials must be worth at least several hundred million or even billions," Yuewu exclaimed.
"Yes, if you can sell everything in the warehouse, you'll instantly become rich," the summoner girl remarked.
"I guess I can give it a try."
"Good luck. See you later, bye."
"Yeah, bye."
After bidding farewell to the last person, Yuewu sat alone in the chair, reminiscing about the twelve years of his journey in the game. He was the only one left now.
"No point in dwelling on it. It's a waste of time. I should go to Sky and move all the consumables and materials from the guild warehouse," Yuewu muttered to himself.
"Then I'll go to the Demon King's Remains to fight some bosses and level up. Just 2% more experience and I'll reach level 500."
Yuewu moved everything from the guild warehouse into his backpack. As he looked at his fully stocked backpack, with every slot filled with consumables and materials counting in the thousands, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic. This was the richest he had ever been.
Most of TEW's world map was modeled after Earth's terrain, with some additional maps requested by late-game players. The Demon King's Remains was a dungeon located underground on the eastern side of the European continent, spanning 100 floors. There was only one boss inside, a replication of the residual energy left by the Demon King, with a relatively low level. Although TEW introduced a maximum level of 500, the developers didn't have time to update new maps. Perhaps the developers felt there was no need for new maps and updating the level cap would suffice. However, in TEW, the highest level of regular monsters and bosses didn't exceed level 500 and mostly stayed around level 490. When TEW had not yet updated to level 500, the maximum level was only 490, and players had to grind tirelessly for experience to reach the level cap."Ding~! Congratulations to player 'Moonless' for being the first to reach level 500 cap."
"Ding~! Congratulations to player 'Moonless' for being the first to reach level 500 cap."
"Ding~! Congratulations to player 'Moonless' for being the first to reach level 500 cap."
In the next second after the demise of the demon lord's avatar, Yuewu leveled up, and he was ecstatic as he picked up the boss drop.

"I actually became the first person to reach level 500! I'm truly talented! Hahaha~"
"Rewards, rewards, rewards."
Upon discovering that he was the first player to reach the maximum level, Yuewu was both excited and expected rewards for reaching the cap.
However, after waiting for a few minutes, Yuewu realized that there was no announcement from the system loudspeaker about his reward, and the scene remained silent.
"What the hell! No rewards for achieving the achievement? Is it a bug?"
"Calling GM."
"Why is there no response? Call GM!"
"Damn it! What the hell! If there are no rewards, why bother playing? Log out, log out!"
After trying to contact GM several times to no avail, Yuewu decided to give up and log out. However, just as he was about to summon the personal menu interface, the interface did not appear for a long time, making Yuewu tense up.
"No way, could it be like what is written in the novel?"
"Did TEW turn into a death game?"
"This shouldn't exist, right?"
Yuewu stubbornly tried to summon the interface, but no matter how he called for it, the interface never appeared.
After over an hour, Yuewu gave up because he had completely calmed down. The reason was simple - in the past few minutes, two anomalies made him realize that the environment and world he was in were real.Gulu~~~
In TEW, there is no hunger value that will cause a character to become hungry or bleeding in the game. And the pain confirmed the authenticity of this situation for Yuewu.
"Now I'm really done for. This is the 100th level of the dungeon. Without a map, how am I supposed to leave this godforsaken place? Let alone being able to leave, my survival on its own depends on finding food."
"If I can't access the interface, it means the system is inoperable. And without the system, even with these equipment, Sky won't be able to use them."
"What's the use of having three world-class equipment? In the end, I'll still die in this unfamiliar world."
"I haven't seen Feifei yet. I'm still single, never been in a relationship, and I still resent it!"
"Why am I persisting? I should just log out like everyone else. I wouldn't be in this situation."
"If only I had something to eat right now, I'm so hungry."
Yuewu sat on the Demon King's throne, staring at the floating staff and holy scripture next to him, then looked at his own fingers, which wore ten rings of different styles. Finally, he couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little downtrodden.
However, just as he was falling into despair, the golden ring on his left index finger suddenly flashed with golden light, and a coarse bread appeared in his hand with Sky. This miracle made Yuewu widen his eyes in disbelief, he never expected that this could trigger it as well.
"Thank you, God, for your mercy. You're my new parents!"
After saying that, Yuewu picked up the bread and started munching on it. As they say, when it comes to the grand scheme of things, eating is the most important. Once I'm full, I can think about what to do next.
After finishing the bread, Yuewu sat on the throne and carefully examined the ring that brought the miracle.
"I remember this is a treasure belonging to the Artifact King, right?"
Just as Yuewu confirmed the name of the golden ring, another miracle happened.
