When Chris woke up he had a massive headache. Probable result of his drinking parade and the noise from downstairs. He jumped up from his bed and headed for the bathroom. After he washed his face he decided it wasn't enough for him to really wake up so he decided to take a shower. The shower was quite refreshing and reduced his headache a little. Once he got himself in clean clothes he noticed the noise was becoming louder.

'' I guess I better go down and check what is going on ''

After he exited his room he could see his father leading the way up the stairs to two workers of some company, the head butler and one servant who were carring something quite huge which he didn't pay any attention.

'' Hey dad, what's going on? ''

'' Chris!! You are awake. Good, we can start installing the capsule now ''

' The capsule? What the hell is he talking about? Is he already at the age he starts spouting nonsense? Maybe a decease.....I have to call mom and tell her to return from Paris. What is she doing there all the time anyway, isn't she bored buying new clothes from every famous designer? '

'' Father what capsule are you refering to? ''

'' The capsule I orded for you of course. Did you forget about the conversation we had this morning? ''

' OH SHIT!!!! I knew I was forgeting something important '

At that time the workers had already opened the box where the capsule was and started making the required instalations for it's proper use. Chris saw the so called capsule that made his jaw drop.

'' Isn't it perfect? '' said Stefan

'' Perfect for what? Dad I get that you want to help me with my problems, but send me to space, in an intergallactic mission with the survival of the human race on the line, isn't gonna solve a thing ''

'' You are right it won't and that's why I didn't get you a capsule for space travel, but a capsule that connects to virtual reality! ''

'' Virtual reality? Why would you get me something like that, you know I am not a fan of games. They are fake ''

'' This one isn't fake at all son, it has 99% realism. In fact you could easily say that you enter a different demension and not a game. I know that you decided to do something that you want to do and not something, someone else wants you to do, so I am not gonna force you to play VR games, but I think that what you are looking for, is inside that world and that's why I want you to promise me that you will at least try it out. Here is the manual, it's quite big actually, but i suggest you read it all before trying to connect in VR. ''

Chris was cursing himself on the inside, but he knew that he would eventually agree to his father's wish since it was far from unreasonable and his father was someone that rarely asked for favours.

'' Ok father I promise, I am gonna try this VR game ''

'' Excellent!! I knew you would understand but there is something that is bothering me son. Did you really not know what that capsule is? VR exists for 10 years now, there is no way you haven't heard of it. ''

''You are right father I have indeed heard of it but I never desired to join the people who invited me to accompany them to this new world. I lived a perfect life with no regrets until now. Why would I want to have something less than that? ''

Stefan understood his son's way of thinking, he knew how much he spoiled his son and thats why he wanted to help him change.

Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

''Well son, the workers seem to be done with the instalation. I am gonna let you study the manual and I expect you to inform me about all your adventures and the people you are gonna meet.'' after that Stefan left the room with the rest of the people and closed the door behind him.

Chris then gave a closer look to the capsule that was now installed in his room. It had a black-silver color and someone much taller than him could fit in easily. He decided to stop wasting time and read the manual since he didn't even know how to open the thing. It took him 6 hours to finish it. The manual was big, but the fact of how ignorant he was about games made it much harder for him. He had to do some internet research to understand it's contents. Still, he didn't connect to Royal Road. Royal Road was the name of the VR game his father bought for him. Starting ten years after it's release, he had major disadvantages against other players.

' I know very little about this VR game even after I've read the manual, I need to watch some videos and find reliable forums '

He spent another 2 hours but he found a lot of information about beginners. He had already made his mind on what kind of avatar to create. The capsule his father got him was a special one. The capsule will massage his muscles so he won't neglect his physical condition. The price of the capsule was double the amount of a normal one, but the reason wasn't just the massage property. He will be able to make a special request at the time of creation of his Avatar and with that he will have his ideal Avatar.

' Since I spent almost all day sleeping, I can stay awake for at least 10 more hours which mean 40 hours in VR. I promised my father I would try my best, that's why I am gonna learn a lot of things and train hard. This may be a game but I don't like the idea of dying or being a loser. Let's hope the one month restriction inside the town, is enough for me to get strong enough to stand alone '

After that, he opened the capsule and entered it. He closed the top and waited inside the darkness for something to happen. Two minutes later a female voice broke the silence.

CONNECT TO ROYAL ROAD?
