That was not a dream
"Aaaaaah" I scream waking up from a nightmare.
He had dreamed that a group of zombies had broken him and separated him into pieces. In this dream he possessed a metal body, although it was not a complete body exactly, it was a metal skeleton.
When he opened his eyes, he realized that he was in a dark place, he tried to get up but realized he could not move a finger.
…
"Where was the last place I was?" I thought, while trying to touch my chin, then I remembered that I could not move.
A light had lit in my mind, I remembered that I was not long ago, on the roof of my university when suddenly the sun began to shine with a celestial light and a mad king with the power of a God speak to me directly to my mind. He told me that everyone's life would change.
“How do I know he was a king?” I thought. Then my memories focus on the light that illuminated my mind, and I could see the figure of a man who had a crown on his head. And the light that came from was the light of his divinity
From the sky a shower of golden sparks fell, falling on all the people or things that were in front of him, until the end of the horizon. The golden sparks were his divinity that he was sharing with us. I did not know how many people had been contaminated with these sparks, but I supposed that could be all those who were in my city.
The bright sparks when touched me, did not give off any sensation of heat, but some moments of entering my body gave me the sensation of having been bitten by ants, my brain began to send small signals of pain and itching. The itching began to feel in my arm, so I saw that a small black device began to emerge from my wrist as if it were a clock, however by no place could you read the time, on this device, you could only see a golden light blinking.
In my vision appears a status bar that said Updating Proxy X, this left me stunned.
The Ra Proxy X Its basic operation was to add virtual information to existing physical information or what is known as augmented reality. With which you could enter Retsuken Word MMORPG number one in the world.
I knew about the new update that was soon to come out in October, but nobody had said anything about an update in March.
Then a chubby boy in glasses, pointing at the black clock on his wrist, shouted:
"It is one of the most important creations of Ash Muth, it is the Omnivaiz!” All of us who were there looked at him as if he were speaking Chinese.
“Come on, Ven X, The Omnivaiz, someone, anyone!” The Chubby boy said.
Everyone started wondering what he was talking about.
He sighed, surely feeling misunderstood and said:
“Ven X is an anime character that when he was a child was in a Summer camp. One night as he could not sleep, he went to explore the forest, when a dimensional gap swallowed him up, when he learned of himself he met the god of that world who gave him the Omnivaiz with which he could become any creature of that universe! "
“You move the knobs of the clock and choose a race" With what I saw that the boy pressed the cover of the Omnivaiz and said:
“Inferno .... Aaah!" said the plump boy, while shouting, because his body started go and fire, then a light layer of igneous rock covered his body in the form of an armor, which instantly turned red as lava. He looks like Lavaman from the 4 All Might, all this happened while screaming, luckily or maybe not, apparently this change very painful but brief process. He stopped screaming in pain and to look at his hands.
At first glance, it was on fire however it was more like a continuous formation of lava that moved outwards and inwards of itself, as if the rock for a brief moment entered its body to collect more heat to expel it to the environment, and so all the rest of his skin moved.
"All that pain was worth it." Inferno said.
Everyone who see Inferno, recognized the character from Ven X, why this was the most popular of all Ven X transformations, when I was a child, I dreamed of falling into the dimension of Ash Muth the God of another dimension, I wanted to be blessed with the Omnivaiz the most powerful object in that world.
"We can become the creatures of Ven X!" A black guy wearing a jacket of the American football team from the University, said.
"Sixthpus" The black guy said.
A golden light covered him, and they could see his body inside as if they had X-ray vision, his bone structure changed to one of a 4-armed humanoid, becoming stronger and faster, with what they could see as they added a new layer of muscles, his skin was brown and on his face two emerald eyes while two gleamed His college jacket with the transformation ripped off his sleeves, so everyone could see his huge muscles. Poses like Ronnie Coleman the Mister Olympia from 1998 to 2005, and he started to lift heavy things that was on that floor.
Everyone who was there was excited, discovering what the black device in his hand was for. And happy to be transformed into the creatures of Ash Muth Universe, but there was a Guy what was not very happy with the news and he said dismissively:
"Woooo, how animated I am, only the creatures of Ven X, I would have liked to transform myself into the Cheetah of Evolvermen!" The Omnivaiz in his hand flashes with the golden light and said:
“Command accepted."
With what the boy grew more hair in his arms, stronger muscles in all his body with what his uniform was ripped, and his hands came out of bone claws, the boy was crazy with joy.
I was not very amazed, I had read about the new races that were going to be introduced to the World of Retsuken, I recognized that Inferno was a Pyromancer, Sixthpus and Cheetah was an Evosapien.
He saw other people turning in to vampires, other lycanthropes, some on beastmen and some other fantasy monsters.
Since I had a Ra Proxi X, I thought that this was some kind of event, in which we could create a new avatar or improve the one that we already has, so I began to imagine how I could improve my Living Skeleton.
The way I play in other multiplayer games, is like a powerful Lich sorcerer. You don't know what it is, I'll tell you, they are magicians, in order to not disappear from the world, when they were about to die, concentrated their souls in a tiny container or phylactery and then they left there mortal bodies to live forever in a living skeleton. However, not everything is beautiful in that existence, which has many defects and weaknesses.
However, its greatest weakness is fire. For me that is the worst, because the 99% of the times in which it I have been defeated it is with fire. If they manage to set fire to my skeletal body, my defeat is 100% guaranteed.
For a long time, I had searched for a solution and I found the solution to this problem, after watching a few 1000 of anime and movies.
The only walking skeleton that I checked when reviewing these materials was the one from the movie The Terminator 1984 from James Cameron. That skeleton was incredible, and to kill it, the fire was not enough, which is the most important thing for me. With this in mind, I create my new body that is going to be like the one of The Terminator, and I would hide my phylactery inside my hard-electronic head. Please don't tell anyone about this.
The Ra Proxy X was a nanomachine connected to our brains allowing us to see, feel and smell. Allowing us to connect reality with augmented reality.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
I think that the process that the others did to transform with the new update, was to imagine the character and Proxy X will make the creation of character directly from my mind, and just by saying the name of my character, it was enough to start the transformation, with what I said:
"Metal Lich!" Then at this moment a strong electric current began to run inside of my veins, like liquid fire, gradually my muscles began to become servo motors, my blood become a viscous like, which I assume must be oil and with this I saw that my bones began to be more visible with what went from white to a metallic or silver tone.
When I looked at my hands, I saw they were made of metal, with wanted a mirror to look at my killer machine face, then I thought:
“With this I will be the perfect Liche hahaha!"
“Woow!” Everyone seeing my transformation said.
I try to move, but the first thing I notices, is that I felt isolated from everything around me.
My body was like trying to move in a 50 kg space suit. I know how this feel, because my dream is to become a space pilot. For you who don't know, this is the Universidad Minerva whose main mission is to train space cadets. Once I had the opportunity to use an analog space suit that is used when you going to go Mars, this is why I remembers that every movement that takes place inside that suits is more difficult, because you also have to move the gas inside the suit - basically the suit wants to expand to its more relaxed position, just like an inflated balloon and each movement is like folding a balloon full of air. So, you can already imagine the enormous physical effort that requires moving with this body.
While trying to move, in my vision I begins to see float messages, little by little of the parameters of the machine, like the temperature, the mana, the vitality, the durability of the transformation and the different systems that helps to make his mechanical character work.
The after several laps Practice movements with my new skeleton character, I felt that I could move freely, then I wanted to see his current status of this character, so I said:
"Status" In front of me a blue window appeared floating in front of me that said:

“Hey where's my name?!”
"Ding Ding! Parameters not available at this time, wait for the update to complete."
"What the hell? I will file a complaint with the administrator for this error..." I said. Suddenly I heard some screaming at the distance.
"Help helps!" a girl was screaming; I look at her and she was crying.
A guy near her, had collapsed to the floor, it seemed like she knew him, he was convulsing while from his mouth he was coughing blood, his body trembled violently, with this many of the people began to approach, to see what was going on, while the girl was nearby, was crying while screaming:
“Richard Richard, wake up!" The boy on the floor opened his eyes and his mouth as if he was taking a big breath, she was relieved, suddenly he hug her, but his eyes and mouth have inside a terrifies celestial light, with a violent movement, opening his mouth showing the tooth as if it were a wild dog ready to attack, without giving her any time, he bite her neck. Drilling her neck, while a lot of blood splash from her neck, she simultaneously tried to scream in pain, but he had her trapped.
With a wild movement he was on top of her, he started to bite her, literally eat her alive.
Inferno when he sees this, he shouted:
“A zombie a zombie! ..."
Sixthpus Seeing that the guy was bitten the woman, he at once go into action, with a kick to the zombie ribs, the kick was so strong, that zombie fly out of the balcony from the fourth floor.
"Ping Pump Poom!" The Omnivaiz of the Sixthpus sounded, its transformation was deactivated, returning to his normal body. He looked at the woman, but it was too late, he could not do anything for her anymore. He decided to get away from there, seeing that more people around him were transforming into to zombies, surely because of all the blood Richard had lost during his transformation.
The zombies apparently were slow, Sixthpus was afraid of the zombies that were approaching toward him, so he decided to leave, that place but unintentionally he stepped on to the woman, who was half-eat, with what she wake up with the celestial light, in her mouth and eyes.
The Zombie girl, grab his leg and bite his ankle, tearing a piece.
"Aaaaaaah!" Shout the Sixthpus.
Apparently, the zombie woman was very strong, he gathered all his strengths to try to escape, with a kick on her face. He crushes her head.
He gets up as best he could while dragging his bitten leg, however he only walks a few meters from her, falling into the floor while shouting:
“Aaaaaaaah, help, help, Aaaaaah! " from pain, while he spit out blood, his complexion got paled, his body start to convulse on the floor. He twisted is body and gave jolt, while you could see the suffering on his face, the Omnivaiz that was in his hands shut down and began to meltdown. Sixthpus gets up from the ground, with his pale face y his eyes widened as all traces of humanity left him. Then his eyes and mouth were illuminated with the celestial light.
This event had 300% realism, surely this Update, had an adult mode, and people who became zombies had to play as these monsters throughout the expansion. Or maybe Sixthpus, neither Richard nor his girlfriend were real people. Therefore, they were surely an NPC or Non-Player-Character.
I could only smile when I thought of all the experience points, I was going to get by killing all those zombies.
I went towards the zombies, and I said:
“Show list of spells!"
"Ding Ding! Parameters not Available at this time, wait for the updating to be completed." my Omnivaiz said.
"Fuck!" I said.
When I arrived in front of the zombie, I raises my arm over the head the zombie and burst it as were crushing a watermelon with a bat. With what the light blue light disappeared of his eyes, and the body fell to the ground spamming.
Almost at the same time I found some gold coin and golden book with the symbol of a crown in his surface. I saw that from the zombie that I killed, a celestial line of smoke came out from its body, then this smoke entered my body, making me felt stronger. The gold coin I the deposit in my pocket and the book I started to read it, and it said:
“..
Magic Skills Book Level 1: Spelling Creation Book for Dummies. Description: The answers to all your questions about magic, as well as how to summon the spells in Latin.
..”
Then I hear the voice of the Omnivaiz that said:
” You want to learn this ability YES or NO?"
“Yes!" I said.
"Are you sure you want to learn this Active skill, the maximum number of active skills you can learn up to level 30 is 3?" Said the Voice of Omnivaiz.
“Yes I'm sure!" I said. I began to read the Book that said:
really
"…
THE PRINCIPLE OF MAGIC

If you perform your magic according to the strength of the word, using the typical terms in a dead language like the Latin you can summon spells of power levels, although you can also use different materials or pronouncing the appropriate chants, your spells will be less likely to attract a Violent Reaction ..."
With what the content of the book was integrated into his mind.
However, while he was reading, zombies surrounded him. Several of them took his limbs and it was when he realized that he was surrounded, which started a desperate fight, he was able to kill approximately 5 zombies, however they were more than 10 attackers, they could smell that he was a living being, they did not cease their attack upon discovering that in this body there was neither blood nor flesh. The zombies in his crazy fury, they took his limbs and broke them in pieces.
It was when he felt a failure in his system, and everything goes black.
With this realized that what he thought was a dream was not a dream but the principle of a nightmare, of which he could not wake up.
