The situation continued. Su Chen sat on the spot, not daring to act rashly. He was not familiar with this world to begin with, so he was even more at a loss for what to do with this sudden accident.

“Sir, due to the unexpected situation, we have to leave work early.”

A staff member walked over to remind the stunned Su Chen again.

Only then did he realize that he was the only one left. There were also a few scattered staff members around. Su Chen agreed and pretended to get up to leave, but he just hid at the side.

He did not know that the currency had changed in year 2100 and that the outside world was different, so he definitely could not just leave casually. There was a computer here. If he left rashly, he would not know where to go, so he might as well wait for the situation to improve. He checked for information before taking action.

After everyone had left, Su Chen sat in front of the computer again and tried to turn it on. He tried many times but failed to do so.

It was not a problem with the power supply. Why was there just a black screen?

Just as he was thinking, the screen suddenly lit up.

[Welcome to the Era of Heroes.]

These words suddenly appeared on the screen and there was only one entry button below it.

He thought that this was a virus on the computer, so he did not pay much attention to it. He tried to randomly operate it, but he discovered that the computer screen remained on the same page, not moving at all.

There was no other way, so he could only click on the enter button to see what it was.

After he clicked to enter, the screen indeed reacted. A burst of strong light flashed, making him dizzy. Soon, he lost consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, the sun was shining on his face. He vaguely discerned his surroundings. Outdoors?

He looked left and right in disbelief. The waves in front of him and the trees behind him could not be heard except for the chirping of birds. He had clearly appeared on a deserted island overseas.

He pinched his face first. He felt the pain, which proved that the current situation was real. Then, he took out his phone, only to find there was no signal.

A wave of despair surged into his heart. He squatted down and hugged his head. This series of events made it hard for him to accept. He broke down, afraid and helpless. He wanted to escape from all of this.

However, at that moment, his phone reacted. He actually received a message.

He quickly opened this message as if he had a glimmer of hope..

“Hello, welcome to the Era of Heroes. This is your exclusive game butler, Xiao Yuan.”

A girl’s voice was heard. Su Chen looked around, but there was no one around, so he asked tentatively, “What game? Who are you?”

“Master, do you want to learn about the game from the very beginning?”

After Su Chen replied, a huge virtual screen and a large string of data suddenly appeared in front of him. An AI figurine appeared as well.

“Master, the Era of Heroes is a game that creates another real world for players. With the core of building your territory, recruiting troops, gathering resources, and starting wars, all online players can create their own private territories from scratch and choose different life experiences.”

“So it’s a sandbox game? Then why do I have such a realistic experience?” Su Chen was eager to know the way to return to his real life.

“Master, the purpose of the Era of Heroes is to create a new life for players and give them a second chance at life. Therefore, everything that happens in the game will be reflected in the real world. For example, wealth, power, soldiers, land, and lifespan can all be reflected in the real world.”

“What?! So if I own this island here, will I also own a small island in the real world?”

“Yes, Master.”

Looking at the smiling face of the AI figurine, he found it hard to believe what was happening in front of him.

“How can I believe you?! I can’t even return to the real world, so how can I confirm all of this?”

“Master, as long as you pass the Novice Village Mission and earn enough BR coins, you can buy a portal to return to the real world from the shop. Would you like to check the details of the Novice Village Mission, Master?”

Now, he could only take it one step at a time. Su Chen nodded and a virtual image began to play again.

After the image was played, Su Chen understood the background settings of the game. In the chaotic Northern European era, there was only one independent country, Marhaz, which was located in the southernmost part of the world. The monarch, Marl, was the first person to establish an independent country, develop its territory, and have a certain number of followers. Although there were various rising forces in the surroundings that wanted to annex all the rights and territories, Marl had always relied on war to defend his territory in the south, so Marhaz was the only relatively safe region.

The Novice Village Mission was to buy a communication tool and a suitable weapon in Marhaz’s capital, M city.

“But I’m on a deserted island now, how can I go to Marhaz…”

Su Chen looked at the endless coastline and sighed helplessly.

“Master, due to a system error, the system has given you a compensation gift box.”

At this moment, the icon of a treasure chest appeared on the screen. After Su Chen tentatively touched it, the treasure chest opened.

[System Notification: Obtained a strategic artifact—Resource Satellite]

[Obtained a mysterious guide]

“Satellite?! Is this for real?! What’s the guide?”

“Yes, Master. May I ask if Master would like to check out the guide?”

At this moment, he could only follow the direction of the development of the matter. Su Chen nodded.

The guide was a map. After the map was opened, there were four marked places—north, south, east, and west.

“Master, let Xiao Yuan introduce it to you. There’s a black iron treasure chest at the marked place in the south. There might be good things hidden in it, but because the items are random, you have to explore it for yourself. And in the west, there’s a guard tower. Master might be able to recruit some soldiers there. In the north, there’s a gold mine, but the gold mine is inhabited by wolves. You’ll need to drive the wolves away. The eastern marker is an empty piece of land. The terrain is very favorable. Master can cultivate the land there and build your territory on it.”

Su Chen carefully studied the map. The southern marker was the closest to him. It was on this island, and it was the fastest place to arrive. That should be the first stop so he could check out the situation. He wanted to see if he could obtain some tools. After all, he was currently trapped on a deserted island. The other three locations were a distance away from this island. Looking for a way to leave this place was a problem. He had to use all the tools he had to find a solution..
