G.U. online was launched a week before, it is a space adventure virtual reality, Andrew had very few things he looked forward too and this was one among them, he had pre ordered the game when it was still in the early stages, he had paid triple the amount to book it, now he was eagerly waiting in anticipation for the delivery, the first week was for testing several things and today was the official launch, he also applied for beta testing phase but was rejected, he was looking at the clock and wondering why it took them so damn long to deliver, he was getting impatient and irritated by the minute, if the damn delivery guy didn't get here within the hour he was going to get an earful from him.
The people he worked with could surprised by this side of him as he was generally cold blooded, calm, calculative, to the point and always adjusted to the people or situation around him, he rarely showed any emotions and almost never got angry or agitated, though this was primarily because he didn't care at all about them, just plainly in diffrent, this is only when he had no intrest or care for things, if otherwise he becomes the complete opposite he cares too much to the point of being paranoid and his rich imagination only fuels it further, though over the years got it under control and kinda developed critical thinking, when his emotions aren't in check it goes down the drain.
Ding dong....., finally he heard the musical sound he was waiting for the whole damn day, he rushed to the door while thinking if it wasn't anything but the capsule delivery he could slam the door right on their faces, as he opened the door he saw a middle aged woman well dressed and looking like an experienced saleswoman ready to screw him over, slightly pissed he was just about to slam the door shut when he heard the magical words that almost made him drool (ok maybe that was a bit over exaggerated).
"Sir sorry for the delay, if you please where should we install the dive pod" asked the evil saleswoman with his over the top apologetic smile.
"Ah.....yes come in........" Still looking like 5 year old that finally got his favourite toy, almost drooling looking at the capsule carried by two guys all the while ignoring the fine piece of eyecandy (saleswoman), he lead them to a empty room he prepared for the capsule.
Saleswoman POV:
Damn traffic making me late, I was supposed to deliver the capsule to one of the pre bookers, not only did he buy all options for the capsule he seemed to have paid triple the price to book one of the exclusive ones, ah fuck I going to get yelled at.
Getting to the destination, I was a little surprised at the house design, for the lack of better word it could be said as innovative, pulling myself from admiring the design I press the doorbell, I can almost hear the hurried footstep and when the door was opened I was greeted by an angry looking man, sigh...that's to be expected i guess, wait is he going to slam the door.......giving my best apolegtic smile I apologise for the delay and ask where he needs the capsule installed.
As soon as he heard a childish grin covers his face while looking at the capsule, a little dazed he leads us to the room where he wants it installed, I was a little taken back by the mood change i have seen people mood swings but this is completely diffrent, I could tell he was genuinely annoyed at first and genuinely pleased afterwards, there wasn't a trace of previous annoyance and I was as sure as I can be that it wasn't because of my smile or apology, seems like we got ourself a grown up kid, one of the rare ones these days.

After installation of the pod, I explained the special features of the pod which included relaxing massages, emergency life suppourt (the heck do you need that for?), devices that helps delay muscle deterioration due to extended game play, special separate custom virtual space, digital phone with the option to contact npc or players out of the pod text only due to the time lag between game and real world, also with all language translator and so on.
I was half expecting him not to pay attention, but was impressed when he not listened patiently but also asked all the correct questions and details available, though soon seemed to have reverted to kid mode at the end, seems like he can't wait to get the game started not that I don't understand, I slip in contact details for customer service and complaints, I signal the the guys and leave the man to his games.
Andrews POV:
*excited to the max* jumps in the pod and connects,
Iris scanning, new user confirmed, registering complete, loading character creation world......
I was greeted by twins who said in unison "Hi I welcome you to OUR WORLD, as you are one of the first few to be qualified to enter our world you can choose specialised one of a kind race(pre-oreder specail)...."
Information screen with details of several races pops up, skimming through it i find it all to be OP races with broken bonuses, grinning I skim through it and find, full magical creatures with access to all magic, highly regenerating strength type creatures, huge group controlling mind sharing creatures, over the top custom configured cyborgs, androids (*.*) and robot and finally something that caught his attention without hesitation he choose it.
The twin smiled at him and said in unison "due to race being over powered than normal, you will be starting in isolated planet and will take time before you can reach any of the starter planet, as the game progress players will be granted similar power i.e., you are simply getting it a little before them, also are you sure about your choice you cannot evolve your race and only can upgrade it".
'Evolve huh....well this already way advanced I don't see any need to evolve it anymore' grinning I say yes.
Equally grinning the twins say something and it blacks out, hey wait don't i get to choose a name, appearance and whatever the hell not.
Intense light blind my eyes and I find myself in a test tube one of the bigger ones, breaking the glass I get out and in the glass reflection I find myself naked and in human form, looking around i find a lab coat and put it on, thinking for a while i shout STATUS
