Overleveled: Rising to the top with my level up system!

No Truck-Kun

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*

A clock alarm was ringing at 4:00 am before it is stopped by the hand of a young man.

*Yawn*

After stretching his limbs, Niel got up from his bed and then got his towel, and went straight to the bathroom. As soon as he was done bathing, he stopped to look at himself in the mirror, and his eyes were immediately fixed on the yellow tattoo on his back. It was the crest of his family, or so his parents told him.

"Did mom really have to tattoo this on my back?... Then again, I was the one who asked for it to be on my back, still, I just don't get why she and dad were so adamant on me having this... I guess I won't have to worry about donating blood.", He looked at the tattoo on his upper back and even touched it, before frowning and leaving the bathroom.

Niel's parents had passed away 1 year prior and he was getting used to the fact to the point where at moments he would forget they are no longer there. His father was a diabetic and his mother got a tumor that developed into cancer, and maybe by a cruel joke of destiny they died together.

This has led Niel to isolate himself from the outside world and focus on his hobby to not drown in his own sorrow.

Once he was done dressing up, he went to the kitchen got 8 eggs then prepared scrambled eggs with toast, and got some orange juice to drink with his simple breakfast.

"Maybe I should order some stuff or go to the grocery store, it's not healthy for me to be eating so little at breakfast." Niel decided once he was done with his breakfast and had begun washing his dishes for some reason even though the dishwasher was right there, but then looked at the frying pan and simply put it in the dishwasher.

-Later-

Niel was now immersed in playing the VRmmorpg, Neo True Reality online, similarly to how he did so almost every other day. This was a part of his life that he had gotten too used to and would have a lot of trouble quitting.

He was one of the first 10,000 players to own the game and so had an early start, even so, he's not some elite or pro gamer, he's doing good when compared to most, to the point where he's even in the top 1000 highest leveled players in the world, but that's all he's accomplished in the game. It was an endless grind, but he simply couldn't keep up with players that had guilds and or companies behind them. He was basically at the pinnacle of solo players.

The reason this was possible is because his father was a pro gamer and introduced him to the gaming world at a young age. When Neo True Reality online came out, Niel's father managed to get not one but two of the 100 first copies of the game to be sold, 7 years ago. At the age of 12, Niel started his first character.

It had been a week since Niel became a 19-year-old, but he didn't bother celebrating his birthday since he saw it as a waste of time. Since playing Neo True Reality online was entertaining and also paid the bills, he just focused on that.

By now he had been playing for about eleven hours and it was time for his lunch break, even though it was 4 p.m, he still wanted to keep playing, but he knew it would be no good for him to skip lunch.

His rather small gaming room had a capsule and blue walls decorated with all kinds of things posters, figurines, and bodypillows. Inside the capsule was Niel just logging out of N.T.R. online.

"If I finish eating in fifteen minutes, I won't lose much. Though if I drag on too long, I might lose my spot as the 927th highest level player in the game, and I might have to resort to PK to get my spot back... I should just go eat and fast.", Niel said to himself as he disconnected his body from the helmet and all the other wires on his body.
