Today's the day! The day AEO goes online! Five years ago when I sent my first paycheck to that shady website. My friends all said ‘your never getting that money back’ ‘you probably just got a virus’. But they were wrong!
Today AEO, one of the most anticipated game releases of all time, goes online, and I am one of the five hundred people worldwide that have a founder’s pack. This pack is OP! Not only do I start with five extra stat points, I get a hidden class token and a mystery gacha.
Unable to hold in my excitement, I hope into my gaming machine and start up the game. When I awake I’m in a white space with a screen appearing in front of me.
Founder’s package found, begin gacha?
Y/N
Being unable to contain my excitement, i click yes, then a large colorful wheel appears, and when I say large I mean larger than my body, the wheel starts spinning, and after rotating a few times, it starts to slow, I look to see what it might land on, and I see several names, dragon strike, sub-zero, time stamp, and forbidden love. But it didn’t land on any of those, instead, it landed on… PATH OF THE LEGLESS
The what? Of the what? But before I could form any conjecture of what it might be, the description appears in front of me.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
PATH OF THE LEGLESS
Almost all creatures are born with limbs of some sort, but you have chosen a path that breaks the status quo. The adversity only makes you stronger
Unlocks the snake race
A race? As far as I knew there weren't any ‘hidden’ races, but then again it was a mystery gacha. As soon as I had finished reading it, the description disappeared, and a new page opened up. This screen had several pictures on it, the first was of a small insect of some sort, The next was a small furry creature I couldn’t recognize after that was a fish, bird, lizard, and snake. The snake was highlighted in gold, so I could only assume that meant it was not a standard race.
before getting into the pod, I hadn't decided what race or class I was going to choose in the game, so seeing that I got a hidden race, I decided that I would have to be stupid not to choose it, and seeing as I would be a snake, the most appropriate class would have to be rogue. Having made my decision I choose the snake race and was brought to another screen. In it was several pictures similar to the last, however unlike the race screen this one had pictures of items, there was one of a dagger that I would assume to be the rogue class, a sword that is most likely the warrior class, a cross that is almost certainly a priest, and what looks like several sparkles that by process of elimination is the mage class. I had already made my decision so there was no hesitation in my choice, selecting the dagger.
Lastly, there was just a blank bar with the word name above it. The reason I say lastly is that appearance is randomized in game. As a safety precaution, the body proportions are left the same, but facial features, and such, are random. In the bar I type fang. It was a simple name, but I've found that in games, simple is best, also NPCs calling me, anything I would regularly call myself in game, would be embarrassing.
After typing in my name I select create character.
