Prolouge - Broken Fates

----------------------------------------

The average life span of humans is around seventy years right? I feel like that's a bit too much for me.

Those were the thoughts that were going around my head when I was lazing around my house doing nothing. Summer vacation started two weeks ago and I still didn't do anything worthwhile. I saw posts on social websites and the like of my friends going to exotic places,beaches for holidays and here I am on the computer listening to music and lazing around.

I planned to do nothing today but last night I got an text from my friend to try a new game that came out last week. The name of the game was 'Broken Fates'. It was  a new MMORPG game that was really popular lately. One reason of why it was so popular is because of its unique system.

The system removed levels! It is quite weird to see a MMORPG without levels. But that's not all. The friend that told me about the game told me that even though the game has no levels there's still experience. It's just that the experience doesn't go to your character but to your weapon. I don't get it really well but that's all I know.

I am currently making my character. I planned on making the character look just like me. I only changed the hair color to black. My normal hair color is brown by the way.

As I finished making my character I needed to name my character. I couldn't decide on a name so I just shortened and changed my last name a bit and named my character Yano. It is a simple name. Nothing too flashy.

As soon as I finished making my character I pressed play.

When I pressed play I heard some epic music that started to play. I thought it was irritating and muted the music. I skipped the cutscenes and got taken to a tutorial or something like that.

In the tutorial there were three NPCs I went to talk with the only one with a exclamation mark above its head. I pressed the NPC and a dialouge appeared infront of me. I am not the type to read these stuff so I just skipped some parts and read the importants parts. It seems that this game allows players to make their own unique weapons through a system in-game. I thought about it really hard and decided that I will make a weapon that suits my personality.

In the end I made a rapier sword that looked like a big needle. I thought it looked really cool honestly. It was black in color with a silvery-purple hilt. I decided that I will name the sword Divider.

With that I finished one part of the tutorial the other part was that I needed to learn how to use skill points and experience to buy skills and upgrade my sword.

It was pretty easy though. I used the skill points given to buy a thrusting attack for my sword and the experience I gained during the tutorial to upgrade the attack speed of the 'Divider'.

With that I finished the tutorial. I drank some water while I was waiting for the screen to load.

I noticed that the screen was frozen after 2 minutes. I thought that there's no way something can happen with my computer. I tried restarting it and it won't do even that.

I was confused. After some time I was still staring at the screen with glaring eyes. The screen suddenly went all black and all I could see was black. I decided to move my face a bit further from the screen. As I did that I saw that the room suddenly got brighter. I looked around my room and stood there looking blankly at what my room was supposed be...

.....

...

"Where's my room!?" I screamed when I saw the vast forest infornt of me. I don't know what is happening or anything but this can't be normal. Just as I was thinking that I noticed that my computer was also starting to dissapear. I immediately turned around and grabbed it.

I don't know what's happening but I am not letting it take my precious. It is the only thing left of my room.

*boom* *BOOM* *boom*

I heard a series of explosions north of me. I was so scared when I heard the explosions that I almost shat my pants. No...I think I actually did...I checked...Thank God I didn't!

I was still holding onto my computer. I won't let go. I want to go home if I can please!

I once again observed the forest.This time I saw a white silhouette running around the forest. It looks like it is running away from something. And that something looked like a bear.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Once again I couldn't move because I was too scared to do so. I noticed the bear and the white silhouette were coming closer towards me. Now that I look at the white silhouette I noticed it looked similar to a humans...wait,why does it have claws?

Shit that's no human! Why is this happening to me!?

Once again I was praying that I was just dreaming and that I will wake up if I poked my self.

*poke*

Nope...nothing...Does that mean this is reality? Ughh....I let out a low sound with a dissapointed look on my face.

I noticed that the bear and white person were coming closer. 20 meters...15 meters... 5 meters....3 meters....I am going to die...

Wait a second! How did they not notice me yet? I looked at them while the white person slammed itself in me. Atleast I thought. It passed through me! I was suprised and a bit more scared because of that. Why could they pass through me? Why is this happening? I had a lot of questions in my mind but I can't answer them right now because I have no clues.

I looked at the computer I was holding in my hand until a few moments ago. It is unexpectedly gone. I looked around and couldn't find anything but a small black ... gem? Why was this thing here? Did the white person with claws drop it? No,I didn't see it wearing anything black in color. What is it then. I tried picking the gem up. I couldn't.

There was some force that didn't let my hand get closer than a few centimeters near it. I looked curiously at the gem right now. I thought it maybe had a connection as to why I am here.

I looked at the gem for a few minutes without worry. I have known that nothing can touch me ever since that fight between the bear and white person.

The gem had no change at all. I decided to try and pick it up once again. This time I could touch the gem but no change at all. I couldn't pick it up though.

After touching the gem a few more times a black screen with white words appeared infront of me! It said something. It was in English so I could  read it pretty easily...

I read what it said out loud.

" Tutorial complete! Gem imprint complete! Skill points remaining were deleted. Communication device not working. Translation device loading...50%...64%...82%...100%! Translation device loading complete! Unique ability : Sword summon (Divider) was imprinted into the gem. Press the gem on your forehead to learn the ability. Good luck!"

What!? I looked at the screen a few more times until I finally calmed down enough to think normally once again. Okay,now...What the fuck!?? Nope...I am still not calm enough.

...

.....

Some time passed while I was swearing and doing sorts of stuff while staring at the black screen. I finally calmed down. It seems that somekind of tutorial ended when the screen appeared. That much is...well alright ,I guess? I immediately connected this situation to 'Broken Fates' . That game was starting to get more mysterious the more I thought about it.

Also after the gem made the black screen the restriction on the gem also dissapeared. It was unbelievably beautiful. The gem was in pure black color and had the shape of a triangle. It had a silvery-purple lining in the middle. I thought it looked like the 'Divider' sword I made during the tutorial...Then it hit me! The screen actually told me to press the gem onto my forehead right? It said that I will get the 'skill' thingy called 'Sword Summon (Divider)',right?

I knew it from that moment that the game was more mysterious than I thought it was. Maybe it wasn't the game that got me here but someone was fascinated by the game to bring me here with the game's equipment.

The probability of that is close to zero however.

With that I pressed the gem onto my forehead and I noticed a screen started appearing out of nowhere once again. It was also black in color like the other one. This one said :

" Summon Sword (Divider) - Allows you to call your unique sword from any point to you. Uses energy depending on how far the sword is located from your current position."

With that I activated the skill with the instructions that appeared when I put the gem on my fore head. For some reason the gem dissapeared as soon as I used the skill.

With that I fell unconscious...
