Oberyn has always been an antisocial fellow. Most after meeting him would blame his father, who ran away from the dangers of modern society after Oberyn's mom, Tanisha died. For 14 years Oberyn and his dad lived in seclusion, away from the eyes and ears of society in the wilderness.

They lived in the mountains. His dad who used to run a dojo before, taught his son swordsmanship. His son could only be described as a prodigy. He learned to handle a katana at the age of 5, and mastered it at 15.

After imparting all the wisdom he could onto his son, ranging from swordsmanship to advanced survival skills, he was confident that Oberyn was superior to all others his age.

One day however while striking a conversation with his lad we remarked that Oberyn's social skills were unrefined, and childish. From years of seclusion and isolation, Oberyn had become afraid to conduct any social activities with other humans. He preferred the company of the wildlife around him than his fellow man. This frightened him to the core, as he thought that he was raising the perfect child.

He then realized that the time had come to reintegrate the boy back into society. He had to ensure that the boy learned social skills so that he could, if nothing else continue his bloodline.

He used the money he saved up and moved back into the city. He retook his job as a sensei to earn money for his child’s education, and finally he sent his boy to school.

2 years later…

When Oberyn first went to school, he was very anxious. We was worried he would stand out, his emerald eyes and dark black hair was uncommon and made him stand out. He had a scar on his face that went across his right eye, though it actually made him look better. Worse still due to his model like appearance, he would be sure to attract attention, something he loathed with a passion.

Oberyn went into the school for the first time and after checking in and being introduced privately to the teacher, he was taken to the classroom. He was taken into the classroom and in front of the entire class, he was introduced to his classmates.

“Good morning students, today I will be introducing a new transfer student, who will be attending this school for the rest of the year.”

He heard murmuring from various classmates. Some girls in the corner of the room whispered, “Oh my god, he is so hot, hopefully he gets to sit beside me.”

He also heard many other positive comments and sighs of pleasure from the eye candy that the girls in his class received. Many of the girls were ecstatic to have search a hot addition to the classroom.

On the contrary, many of the boys looked with eyes filled with envy, at the attention he was getting. At this moment Oberyn new that he was treading in dangerous waters.

After the swift introduction he was told to sit in the back, near the window. (I know right, typical MC)

After sitting down the classmate beside him who was named Jon, decided to barrage him with questions. He was asked about every minute instance of his existence. Oberyn ignored him and stayed quiet. After a few moments of silence on Oberyn’s part, Jon finally stopped. Both completely disengaged with the class at the moment seeing as it was math, Oberyn finally decided to engage the poor chap in a lengthy discussion.

At’s it’s conclusion Jon and Oberyn went to eat lunch in the cafeteria. As they sat down, they were instantly accompanied by hordes of mindless, zombielike girls. At their feet were pools of drool, an almost endless supply of water exiting their mouth.

Making a hasty retreat, Oberyn and Jon ran to the rooftop (I know right so cliche). As it turned out Jon was quite eccentric and engaging and they once again had a lengthy conversation. The topics changed quickly until it moved to video games.

Jon asked Oberyn if he was playing the game Infinite Legend. Oberyn asked him what a video game was. Jon’s mouth dropped in astonishment. Not only did Oberyn not know about Infinite Legend, the number 1 game on the market, but he hadn’t even heard of what a video game is. So Jon spent the rest of the break explaining to him the concept of a video game and how they work.

Oberyn went home that day and told his dad that he made a friend and that he had discovered the alien technology known as video games.

The next day was spent learning about Infinite Legend.

Jon spent his time explaining the video game to Oberyn.

“Infinite Legend is a special game. It is the first virtual reality game to enter the market. Virtual reality is a game where one’s action’s are directly represented in game. This game boasts a 99.99% realism and has sent shockwaves throughout the gaming community. One of the most interesting features is that your physical ability in real life is taken into account in the initial character building process. Meaning if you are Muhammed Ali, then your strength would be much higher than say if Steve Jobs were to create one. Comparatively, Steve Jobs would have a higher Wisdom and Intelligence. However to make it fair the initial stat boost goes up to only 20, which is 200% more than default. The game also boasts 29 different races. Overall their is ton to explore”

“I have had my account for 2 years now and have finally reached level 200. The reason it is called Infinite Legend is because the AI is so good that it continuously creates new areas, so their is no level cap. Another interesting feature is that you can create your own skills through your actions. Pretty neat aye! (inner Canadian unleashed).”

Although Oberyn only understood about half of what he said, he nodded as though he understood. He was quite excited to play the game as well. Jon had also told him his username: Bilboswaggin, and told him that they could meet up once he was a higher level.

Oberyn finally returned home after a long day of school, and a ton of learning (non school related material). He asked his dad for the game. His dad surprised at his usual non materialistic son’s request, caved in quickly and order the capsule.

Just 3 days later the capsule arrived. In excitement he quickly set it up and launched the game. The game ran at 3 times the speed and could be played while sleeping. As he launched he saw the window.

Welcome to Infinite Legend.

The window disappeared and a bright white flash, flooded his vision. When his eyesight returned he was in a beautiful meadow filled with vivid green grass, he was sitting underneath a cherry blossom tree, whose pink petals flourished in the windy air.

Another white flash occurred and a beautiful silver haired maiden stood before him.

Welcome, my child. I am the goddess Freya, the one who sees all.

What is your name, child?

“My name is Oberyn" he said, as he was unaware that she was asking for his username, not his real one.

Ah, Oberyn a fine name indeed. Their are 29 races in this world which one shall you chose?

“Show me their names.”

Another popup showed on the screen showing their names. Only two however really interested him. The Sun elf and the Moon Elf.

“Show info on Sun and Moon Elf”

Sun Elves

Legendary fighters blessed by the god of the sun Helios, sun elves in body extremities. Fierce and Passionate, it is wise to avoid confrontation against these foes.

Moon Elves

Not much is known about these secretive folk, who are blessed by the goddess of the moon Phoebe. Moon Elves are calm and calculative and rarely reveal their true intentions.

He decided after much internal debate that he would go with the Moon Elves, as they fit his personality better. He finally was shown a screen that allowed him to modify his appearance. Before him was an exact replica of his real life appearance, minus the pointy ears of an elf. He decided to keep his avatar as it was, as he felt any modifications to hide his true self was cowardly.

Finally after the choice a cutscene began.

It showed a land ravaged by war, its land burning in the flames of war. It’s ground soaked in the blood of millions of soldiers. Then it showed a different scene, a peaceful valley. Villagers smiling and living a good life. Then came the sign.

Chose your destiny. Be it good or evil. You can control your destiny.
