Prologue 1. Aurora and Auror

Prologue 1. Aurora and Auror

"You only have one week left."

Aurora could hear a hint of pity in the doctor's voice as she closed her eyes and felt the shaking of her skinny hands. The realization that she would soon cease to exist in this world was slowly sinking into her mind; her heart felt at loss.

She slowly opened her eyes and stared straight at the middle-aged woman in a white coat, then opened her mouth with difficulty.

"My parents are they going to visit me today?"

The doctor paused for a long time, seemingly hesitating, before replying in an overly cautious manner.

"The president, he... told us that he has a company meeting today. And, Madam, she is currently abroad, attending a charity event at the behest of the company."

"Oh, is that so?"

Aurora's expression didn't fluctuate in the slightest as she gazed at the distant sky through the window on the side of her bed, but the doctor could perceive a slight bitterness and resentment in her voice.

The room suddenly fell into an awkward silence. For a long time, neither the sickly pale girl nor the female doctor said anything.

To be honest, Aurora didn't have much expectation that the news of their youngest daughter's impending death would be able to attract the attention of her heartless parents. Even when she was still healthy, Aurora's father and mother never paid much attention to her. The only things on their minds were their company, their wealth, and their status.

Even if she died, they still had several competent children that could continue their legacy. Losing one sickly and incompetent child didn't matter much to them anyway. At least, that is what Aurora believed.

Aurora let out a long sigh and waved her hand to the doctor.

"It's enough for today, doctor. You must be busy."

"What will you do today?"

"As usual." Aurora lightly glanced at the latest gaming VR helmet on the top of the desk before adding another word, "playing game."

- OverweightTyrant: You, sicko.

- TwistedMelonIsNotSweet: You, sicko+1

- Iambutaspeckofdust: You, sicko. +2

- GloryVanguard: You, sicko +999

- ShyBastard: I'm Sicko +666

Aurora couldn't help but chuckle as she watched her friends' shenanigans. Yes, friends. Due to her sickly constitution and status as the daughter of one of the wealthiest families in the world, she didn't have the opportunity to meet and interact normally with others. Thus, only after she stumbled upon an online game did she finally have some people that she could call friends.

No one knew hers, nor did she know the other people's identities, but it didn't dampen the enjoyment she got from playing and fooling around with them; especially since the release of Legend Online, the first immersive VRMMORPG.

In this game, she wasn't Aurora the Conglomerate's daughter, nor was she the terminally ill Aurora. She was simply a player called Auror, the strongest player with brilliant achievement, who, with her own effort, rolled around and struggled from the weakest class, Spirit Swordman, to the terrifying legend "Demon Swordsman."

Only in this game could she truly feel alive, and she was determined to leave her name and legacy behind.

Legend Online Hall of Fame

This was her target, and no one could stop her. Her name will definitely live forever, even though she will cease to exist in this world soon.

She typed a reply in the chat room, grabbed the VR helmet on the side, put it on, and adjusted her body to a comfortable position before softly muttering.

"Engine start."

The room turned into silence once more. Only her phone flashed occasionally.

- Auror: I'll be there soon.
