Alex woke up early in the next morning. The server would open in less than an hour. He quickly took a shower and ate breakfast. 5 minutes before the opening he equipped his special helmet and logged into Royal Road.
"Master. I arranged everything you asked me. The new player will be all teleported to an open field so you can welcome them." Beth
"Thanks Bath. Start the "hero" program." Alex
"Alright master, initialize "hero" program. Ok, it´s ready master." Beth
"Thank you." Alex

"So you named me Hero yeah? How original. Well this char is just for the start up so it´s no real problem..." Hero
"Master the first person has started the helmet." Beth
-Alright. Now to present myself...- Hero flew into the sky and waited for the first person to arrive. "Beth, give me the name of the first person who finishes his char and the tutorial."
Soon after he spoke to Beth the first people arrived.
Everyone stood there with their jaws hanging near the ground. Hero couldn't suppress a giggle. He waited a few more seconds and then started to fly downwards. He stopped a few feet above the earth and started floating again.
Now he had the attention of a few million people.
"Welcome everybody, welcome to my new world. But before we speak let us wait for the player who are right now going through the tutorial." Said Hero as he made a few million chairs so that the people didn’t have to wait on their feet till the others came.
"I´m sorry but are you the one from the broadcast?" asked one of the players. (No one who is worth to be mentioned...)
"Yeah. But pleas wait with your questions till the others are here" said Hero as he sat on the gigantic throne that came out of nowhere.
After a few minutes Beth whispered him -"Master. The first person who made it through the whole character process is Flamingo. I´ll teleport him right in front of you."
-"Yeah. Do that." whispered he back.
A few seconds later a man, roughly 18 years old, with short, black hair, crystal blue eyes, a "come and take me" face appeared a few meters in front of him. He was 1.85 meters tall with a athletic build which didn´t go well with the brown beginner shirt and pants.
"Hmm. So you are Flamingo? Congratulations! You are the first who went through the whole process and tutorial. For that I have a little present for you." said Hero as he took 20 Rings out of his Inventory. "These are special Rings. They are bond to your char. Each of them gives you a small boost on your stats. It´s only 5% but once you are like Level 100 these 5% will be more than enough."

"Whoa!" shouted Flamingo "Thank you very much!" Hero saw a slight change in his eye color.
-"Beth? What changes did Flamingo do to his char?"
-"He only changed his eye color so that it changes its color with his mental state."
-"Hmm. Is that so? Interesting."
After 10 minutes all 15.619.013 Player were online.
"Good. Now that everybody is here I can finally start to tell you something about this game.
First let me tell you about the History of this world. The oldest historical book you will fing here tells you a story about the first war that happened here, roughly 1000 years ago. I won’t tell you more. Haha
The next thing is about the people who live here. They will call you "adventurer". Why? I won’t tell you. But what I will tell you is that the NPCs here are all like you and me. That means they think for them self, they do what they want to do, they are like ever human you know. The only difference is that can give you quests. Oh. Let me tell you one more thing. I installed an A.I. which will punish you if you do something to them. I mean that if you kill one you will get a "murderer mark" or if you would rape them or something as evil you would get a harsher punishment.
Now to the stats. All you need to now was told you at the tutorial. The same with the skills.
Now if you look at your inventory you will find two items in there. The brown bread is called "rye bread" and it tastes horrible but to everyone here who did go through the tutorial it will taste like normal bread. Oh. It´s only for the ones who are here. The next one who does it nothing in the taste will change.
The other thing is a water canteen. I think you know what that is...
Oh. A warning regarding the food. You all have a 4 small bars at your right corner of your view. The red one is your HP bar, the blue the Mana bar, the green your stamina bar and the pink one is your satisfaction bar. Ones the red or the pink one are empty you will die. I think you know how the red one will fall but the pink one falls if you´re hungry. That means food is necessary.
Now let’s come to the economic system. The currency is chopper, silver and gold. 100 chopper is one silver and 100 silver is one gold.
At the homepage you will find a page with the name: Market. There will be a other link for the auction site but we will come to that later. In the marked you can buy and sell gold. The prices are set to 1 Gold = 25$ if you buy it and 1 Gold = 20$ if you sell it.
In the auction marked you can sell your items. Ones your item is sold you can’t get it back if the buyer won’t sell it to you. Even if you kill him.
Now to the rules of in this world.
1. All 18+ stuff in the real world is 18+ here
2. You have the right to deny 99% of the quests.
3. You can’t leave your starting city for 30 days in game time.
4. If you kill a player or NPC you will get the murderer mark.
5. Have fun!
That´s all.
The time here progresses 5 times faster than in the real world. That means that one hour in the real world is 5 hours here.
Now go and have fun." Hero looked at the people and Beth teleported them to their starting city.
Once everyone was gone Hero logged out of the game

"The scan on your vain and iris has determined that you are Alex Brund the creator of Royal Road. You have an unlimited charslot. Do you want to play with one of the already available ones or create a new char?" said the voice of Beth
"I want to create a new one."
"Please set the name of your character."
"MineTree"
"Since you are the creator of the game you are not bond to the 3 available races and can chose whatever race you want."
"Alright. Give me the dragon race with the possibility to change my appearance to human."
"Done. Do you want to change your appearance?"
"Yeah. Please show me bot, my dragon and my human forms."
A 20 meter tall black dragon with blood red eyes, a blade like tail and 25 meter long black wings, and his human form which looked exactly like him appeared in front of him.
"Ok. Make the dragon white. The eyes black and its tale sharper. The human is ok as it is."
"Done. Since you are the creator of the game you can chose your starting city and are not bond to only the already explored."
A huge map of the world appeared in front of him.
"Send me to where every other human was send."
"You chose Noxvill as your starting city. To you want to proceed with the tutorial?"
"No. But change the taste of my ryebread to normal bread."
"Done. Have fun master."
