In the popular virtual reality game "New Genesis", there was a renowned player known as Arthur Holmes, who went by the name "Merlin" in-game. He was one of the original beta testers and had been playing for 30 years, making him one of the few remaining players from the game's early days. Initially, Arthur's sole focus was on maintaining his rank as one of the top players in the game, always striving to stay ahead of the competition. However, after 15 years of intense gameplay, Arthur made a drastic decision to sacrifice his player ranking in pursuit of knowledge. He became a "lore hunter", dedicating himself to uncovering the vast lore and unexplored history within the game's world.
