The date the incident occurred was June, 27, 20XX and I did my usual waking up and getting ready for work. I never really ate breakfast since I always slept in late. That day was rather uneventful until I had to start walking home from work at customer service at a large retail store because my bus card ran out of charge and I ended up having to walk home. It is not that far and it would not take long to get home but it looked as though it will storm. Wanting to get home as fast as possible I took a short cut through the old bike path that ran through town. The path was there as a rail road before the town but after trains became less and less used the rail road was converted to a path. Then a few years ago people stopped using the path since a new more modern one was made a few blocks away. That new path did not take me by my house though so I had to take the overgrown path. I was walking down the barely visible path when a weird circle of brilliantly colored particles spinning around each other. I reached out to touch one of the particles when suddenly I heard a crashing sound and someone yelling something unintelligible. I turn around to face the noise but I trip and fall backwards into the circle.
I remember the pain.
I open my eyes.. er something like that I just pop awake. I looked around and saw an endless expanse of white.
"oh I died" I say to my self
"Yes and No" a voice said
"W-who are you?" I ask thinking I am in the presence of a judge to the afterlife.
"It's ok son.. er I think your a guy they said your body was too mangled up from the takion hole to tell for sure, your body is dead but they saved your mind. Oh and I am Richard Fullmaire I am the CEO of VGI or Virtual Gaming Industries."
"I have never heard of your company, but Richard where am I where are you, explain what is going on?" I ask in desperation
He coughs "Oh yes right you deserve that much at least. As I said I am Richard Fullma..."
"I know that" I cut him off
"I am getting to that, long story short you fell into a tachyon hole which brought you 500 years into the future while destroying your body. The government wanted to harness power from tachyons but because of you it is now deemed too dangerous. They salvaged your mind and put it into a computer to see if you had any mental trauma from the incident but thankfully there was nothing too major. So to give you some sort of life they gave you to us."
I tried to nod but the lack of body really makes that hard "ok" I say
"Now we have a task for you, all the games now a days are pretty much cut and paste copies of each other so can I ask you to create a world for us."
Dumbfounded I as him "How the hell do you expect me to do that"
"You are inside the most advance computer system in the world and you have complete control of it you can make what you want by thinking of it and no one has access other than you and me to change the code"

Intrigued I decide to make a body for myself I think about a character creator from some rpg games I used to play but I could not get everything. "U-umm can I get an AI and some some base code for an rpg game?" he asks Richard
Laughing he asks "Finding it hard to create things out of thin air"
"y-yea" I say disheartened
I hear a *pllllllllop ding*

I said "yes"
"Hello sir I am the AI assigned to you is there anything you need?" said a femmine voice
"I would like to create an avatar for myself"
"Right away, what would you like your name to be?" the AI asked
Thinking about it I will be a god in this world so he waited there thinking "Deum Lucis"
At this point Richard popped in and said "Fancy name is that your name?"
"Ah no it is not it is Latin for God of Light, my name is Varick Tepes" I say to him as he reminded me I never gave him my name.
"Ahh and Latin?" he asks sounding confused
"Yea it is an old language in my time so I decided to use it to sound cool" I say.
The AI then asks "since there are no current races you will be recreated from your memories"
A naked man 5 feet 4 inches high, slender with belly hair and a bush covering 'that' area. He had bony cheeks and seemingly little muscle. Brown hair, green eyes and a slightly crooked nose. There where quite a few scars on the body.
" Keep height the same remove all body hair but keep it on his head and face. Change hair color to silver and eye color to gold. Remove all blemishes and scars."
Now in front of me I had the perfect version of myself. The figure went away and I then blinked. Wait I blinked I looked down and I saw that the figure was now my body. |YESSSS| I thought to myself.
"Ok just so you know I will log out and you will be alone for what will seem like 10,000 years" but in it will only be about a day out here so good luck in creating your new world" he says logging off before I can say anything.
"That cheap Fucker" I say as I sit down on the white floor.
