("Arghhh. What the hell I did last night?") I remember playing my favourite MMORPG game like every other day, but I don't think I did something to deserve this horryble headache. After a while the fucking headache dissapear like I never have it in the fisrt time and it was just my imagination.
Right at that moment I notice what was off all this time. Now I feel like an oblivius idiot staring at a truck before it hit him. I have been standing all this time in a strange room filled to the bring with people. I would like to blame the headache for my obliviusnes, but even like that I should have noticed that I was taken from my bed (probably kidnapped)and transported here like all the other people in my surroundings. Whoever I look have a face of disvelief and I think I'm making the same face.
Well, now I don't know what the heck to think. There have apeared a freaking circle of light like those used in fimls and games to represent summoning magic or something similar in the middle of the air and is starting to appear a 'crack' th-
*Crack*
Okey... I'm seriusly freaking out right now. Or I'm dreaming, or drugged or having an hallucination
or a person have appeared from the cracks in the circle and is floating in the air like it was
the most normal thing in the world. I hope I'm hallucinatin.
-"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to this "plane". Some of you have noticed, other's are still waking up and the rest of you are probably thinking this is some kind of dream, hallucination or a type of prety elaborate joke. Let me explain what is ocurring to you."-
The man that appeared through the light formation started to talk like the complains and shouts throwed at him were nothing, and now that I look better, he isn't floating in the air. There are two pairs of white feathered wings in his back.
-"First, none of you have become crazy, not yet, and all of you have been chosen to "play" a special 'game' designed by gods themselves. Second, for this 'game' all of you will be given new power's and body's. If you choose so you can retain your appearance. Third, as per the will of the gods who created this 'game' , I and my companions have been asigned as guides for all of you and we will give advises when we deen it apropiate, explain some of the rules of the 'game' once it started and give rewards and gitfs to the people who deserve then. Fourth and last, but no less important for that..."-
The angel like man just stopped talking, making a prety dramatic moment while looking at us with a face of pity before his smile distorsioned into the smile of a madmen.
-"...none of you have a fuking say here, this 'game' is to placate the boredom of the gods and whoever refuse to play will be given a fate far worse than death."-
That last sentence was said in a serius tone despite the look of crazynes in the angel man and he seems to be enjoying our reactions. Some of the people in my surroundings have fallen to their knees and a few ones are sitting in a crossledged position, as if they expected all of this from the start and are now waiting to something. In some point of time I have fallen to my knees too but I didn't notice it.
-"By the way, all of you are dead, what you think is your body right now is just the proyection of the perception you have of yourselves, if you don't trust what I'm saying visualize your ideal self and your "body" will change acording to that image."-
I stared in disvelif at the angel like most of the people in my surroundins and some brave people,
or the most stupid people here, whatever you prefer, started shouting to the angel demanding to be
released and the like but after pissing off the angel they were throwed to a black thing in the air
that appeared and disappeared in an instant with them.
-"Now, whithout more delays and interruptions, chose your new avatar and powers. In 3 minutes".-
----------------------------------------
-"Huh?"- ("Was I doing something?) I was... oh,right. I was going to make my new character in that game that Michel, was it? recomended me. He said it was a new MMORPG prety hard and that there was almost no information of the game mechanics or the world, and it kind of picked my curiosity. The new games of that genre these days always claim to be the best thing ever made or that it will revolucionate the market for those games but end as some ramdom pay to wind shit or something boring to play as hell. But this 'game' is different, the developpers haven't give a shit about showing ingame videos or making eyecathching adds.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
So I think of given it a try. If it's boring to play or is another pay to win camouflaged as a free to play game I can just delete it later.
Now with character creation... What should I make this time? There are a bunch of the most clichè fantasy races to choose and each of then have some classes to choose too. Normally I go with bersek type characters but... I don't know a shit of the mechanics of this game and probably I will quit playing if it don't fit my tastes.
Hmmm... lets make a joke character. I will be able to see how works this game and if I decide to quit I won't be so atached to the character, and if I decide to keep playing I will be able to make a better character for my play stile.
Lets see, lets see... after a minute browsing through the different races and their available classes I decided to make a Sun Elf rogue, it feels funny for me and they look almost like Noble Elfs from W*rcr*ft. Also, they have some handy racial habilities and I think I could troll some people with then.
Okey, now that I have lock my race and class I should start personalizing my avatar. ("???") It seems that there is a limit of people that can choose some races for now, like elfs, undead or minotaurs. Probably, to limit the overpopulation of some races that should be less numerous for inmersion sake's or because they are just that broken.
Now for my avatar. I don't want to see the ass of a dude dangling in my screen for a few hundred hours if I keep playing so lets make a female character. Elfs womans are beatiful by standar but they don't have much curves. For starter I will change the avatar curves a little. I make the body of the elf.. in front of me? ("Hmmn? In front of me? Meh, whatever") a bit curvier, just rounding her ass and making her chest a few sizes and cups bigger. I'm not a fucking pervet and even if it's a joke character I don't feel like playing a character that looks like a cheap whore. For the height I just let it like it is now, a little above the 160cm, and for the face, I just make it look more prettier and femenine. For some reason I can only choose a miryad of green, blue and red colours for the eye so I choose a emerald green. To finish my new character the only thing left is the hair, I like womens with straigh black hair so I change the hair color and style to what I prefer but I make it longer, shoulder lenght hair is ok but this is a game and there won't be any problem if it's reach to the waist.
I look at the character I have made. It's a beautifull woman for normal standars and I feel proud of my creation, but for some reason I have this sense of disconfort tickling in the back of my head, telling me that I'm gonna regret it soon. But it's just a 'game' ...
-"Shit"-
-"The time have ended"-
With those words I return to the room I previusly was... or not. They have meddle with our perception for sure. And I fucked my life. And very hard. I was tricked and I fucked it. I will say it a third time because is important: I have fucked my onw life.
Fuck.
-"Well, while you are still cursing yourselves for your earlier choice, Ladies and Gentlemen,
former *pff* Ladies and Gentlemen, I will explain a bit about the world you are going to be sent
and some of the basic rules of the 'game' ."-
That fucking angel have just laugh in our faces, and the second part of his sentence... I don't have to look at my own body to know how I look now, I feel my groin empty and my shoulders are a bit stiff. Thank goddess I didn't decide to make an undead or similar... or make the chest part bigger.
Still, I should have stick to my normal bulky and barbarian like characters... If I haven't been tricked
I could be a badass macho men now...
-"Now that it seems that you have ended your selfpiting and inner monologue, I will continue with
the explanation. The world you are going to be sent is like one of a popular game of the last decades,
those who payed atention to the races and classes might have noticed it alredy, but it's not like
they are the same. The gods who created this 'game' just sugested the outline of the world to the
developers, what's like that game an what's not is your work to guess.
Without further ado, you will be sent to the zone asigned to your's new races.
Good Luck and Have Fun"-
After saying that, the angel disappeared from our sight and the room we have been all this time
started to vanish along with us.
