Sebastian can only see and think the worst of people, because he believes the world bows down to those who harm and beat down others. He uses anything he can to his advantage, whether it's in the real world or the new virtual world of 'Eternal Eden.' However bit by bit, his negative view is being changed by the friendly and colorful NPC's around him.

-Prologue-

Sebastian waited sourly for the two delivery men to install his VR Pod. To most people when they meet him they just assume that he has problems talking with people or is having a bad day. Many come to that conclusion because with his auburn hair and well toned body, he comes off as quite attractive. The honest answer was a lot more simple, he just hated people. He had hated them ever since he was a kid. At one point his parents made him see some psychologist, who aid it was probably due to being bullied as a child. His parents knew that he came home bruised often as a kid, but they had never suspected bullying. Sebastian wanted to laugh only because the guy got it half right, he was the one who was doing the bullying when he was a kid. His parents misunderstood and began to spoil him by giving him everything he wanted. He didn't try to explain otherwise because the situation was to beneficial for him. And today he had managed to get them t buy a VR Pod so he could play the newest VRMMORPG 'Eternal Eden.' Of course Sebastian didn't even want to bother with people in a virtual world so the fact that the game had an offline mode gave him reasons to be hopeful. The downside to the offline mode was that he couldn't obtain Unique Items in game and even if he bought a house offline it wouldn't be his during online play. Sebastian didn't care about those limitations so long as he only had to deal with NPC's. Simply knowing that they weren't real people was all it would take for him to be able to interact with them.

After the delivery men left Sebastian climbed into his new pod and gave off a small smile, Before the Pod closed and a voice came from nowhere.

Sebastian grunted as he appeared in a flash of light in the middle of a large castle town. There was a fountain nearby that had water spraying from the top of a scantily clad woman's hand. The sigh of the medieval town around him was something that would shock many into awed silence, but the first word he spoke inside the game was simply, "Neat." As he strolled around town, looking at various places. He already knew games like this made it nearly impossible for solo players to win at. Of course Sebastian didn't want the game to be easy, he came here to entertain himself for as long as possible. "Open stats only." He mumbled to himself.

Since he chose to be a human, Sebastian's stats were pretty well balanced. He had already found out he could increase his base stats at a place called the CORE Center. Eternal Eden hadn't been released for more than a week, but many pro and hard core gamers had found out plenty of secrets in the starting town already. Since the time ratio in the game was 5:1 that gave players the chance to play for nearly 5 full days un-interrupted if they played with minimal breaks. He was going to take full advantage of that. However he almost changed his mind as he found himself in front of the building listening to the screams of those inside. He steeled himself, thinking this is only a game so how hard could it be? Before walking into the building.
