"Your parents are dead." It was then, in that moment, when I truly realized how cruel the world was.
My parents had died during a plane crash.
And that night, in that moment, when my sister and I became orphans.
My sister cried, and I cried with her.
When we awoke, we were still unable to comprehend what had happened.
Our parents were dead. I cursed under my breath. "Dammit! Why did it have to be like this?!"
No. I wouldn't accept it. My sister could still live a life. It was then, that I swore to myself,
that I would help my sister have a fulfilling life.
The life that a plane crash had taken away from us.
Getting 3 part-time jobs, I woke up early, I cooked breakfast for my sister, then I came home late.
Always exhausted more by each passing day.
As I was an avid gamer, I was stunned by what was revealed.
With the announcement of the new game, Heaven's Calling Online, the first ever Virtual Reality game.
HCO quickly became the topic of gamers and gaming websites.
Dark Eden Industries, The creators of Heaven's Calling Online (HCO)
had released a minimal amount of information relating to the game.
There were 4 races- Elves, Humans, Dwarves, and Beasts
Elves boasted high agility, but low defensive capabilities,
Humans were a balanced all-around race,
Dwarves had high health, defense, and attack, but low speed.
Lastly the Beasts. Beasts had high attack, and high speed, but lower defense.

"The rest of the information would have to be discovered by the players."
- stated DarkEden Industries.
Dark Eden Industries had announced that they would be giving away 500 HCO capsules in 1 week.
Evan, who recognized the chances of him winning would be nearly impossible, signed up regardless.
Evan, if he had any free time, devoted it to studying.
1 week had passed, and Dark Eden had started calling of the winners for the HCO capsules.
"Please notify us if you hear your name called. The first winner of our HCO capsule giveaway,
Is Nathan Smith! Next is Jeremy Rias..." With each name called,
Evan's nearly non-existent hope whittled.
"And our last winner is..." Evan had given up once he had heard the next name. It wasn't his.
"Heh, I already knew that I wouldn't win..." I mumbled to myself dejectedly.
Even one of the HCO capsules were priced at $10000, which with Evan's current state,
would be too expensive to even think about buying.
One week later, I received a phone call at midnight.
"Because a previous winner was unable to contact us, you have been picked to win a free HCO
capsule."
