As Eve's soul was being sucked into the virtual world, an alert went off.
Detected Anomaly!
Attempting containment protocol... ... ... Failure!
Attempting deletion protocol... ... ... Failure!
Anomaly Alert Code Red! (Dangerous Undetectable Variable!) [IMPORTANT!!!]
Sending alert to [GOD] ... ... ... Connection Reached!
...
...
Before Eve knew about the alarms that went off, they suddenly were silenced. Up above, Dr. Baltor found the anomaly, discovering what was triggering the alert, fixing the issue.
"I'm sorry, child. You are unable to be a player. Trapped in the virtual world. I have allowed you to live as an NPC." Knowing his words wouldn't reach the person in question.
He thought what to give as compensation. "I will allow you to have what every player has, including respawning. You don't need to worry about losing your life. You will also be able to travel to the multiple worlds of this game. I hope you won't lose yourself and enjoy this game of mine." Closing his eyes, he returned to focus back onto the game.
*Fwoosh
Eve felt her soul being pulled into a room. "Where am I?" Looking around, this was a simple white blank room. With only an orb floating in the center of the room.
"Welcome newcomer. Please enter your name." The floating orb spoke in a soft, calming voice.
"Do I give my name?" Eve didn't play games. As she simply didn't have time. Seeing the floating panel, she typed in her name [Eve].
"Special Entity Detected!" The orb detected that this being in front was not simple. Without a body to detect, only the soul labelled as an NPC. "Detected Tag NPC! Creating backstory... unable to generate random background. No background detected!... Processing Info..."
This time it was Eve's turn to be confused. "NPC? What does that mean?" Just as she was wondering what to do, the orb finally came to a conclusion.
"NPC [Eve], no background. Unable to detect suitable world. Sending NPC [Eve] to default location..." The orb flashed with a bright light as Eve looked at it. As it grew brighter, Eve felt herself dissipating, turning into data to be sent to a world. In the hidden servers, on the screen it showed that Eve was sent over to the world {Osmir}.
Planet {Osmir} < B+ Rank > a world of magic and swords. A planet that used to house Gods and Demons. Into the Age of Grace, when millions of Heaven Blessed individuals entered into the planet. Usually, players would be able to choose which of the starting five planets they wished to enter. There existed thousands of planets, yet only five were given for the players.
{Alterila} < F- Rank > (Beginner friendly, a world that devolved into an Apocalypse. Zombies roam the streets as supply and resources became scarce. Fight for survival!)
{Bolkom} < D+ Rank > (A world of guns and machine, battle out in wars fighting for high resources. Adventurer into the unknown, collecting bountiful rewards. Fight for glory and riches!)
{Extavol} < C- Rank > (Flying people in capes, grabbing falling people from high skyscrapers. People in suits in a world of heroes, villains, or vigilantes.)
{Gizzm} < B- Rank > (A world of technology advancement. Cyborgs, flying drones, special technologies. A world of geniuses and tech. Robots, miniature devices powerful as the real thing.)
These were the five options, players were given a small, simple description of what existed in each world. Each set in a different setting with different rules and laws.
*Fwoosh
A light, gentle breeze rolled across the soft grass.
Eve opened her eyes to find that she was lying on a tree branch, dressed in a hunter's outfit. Leather boots, black pants, a white tunic, with a brown cloak on top. The hood covered her face, giving a sense of secrecy. She wore leather gloves and on her back was a simple bow with twenty arrows in her quiver. On her waist were two daggers and a small pouch tied to her leg. Inside were a couple of strange pills. Eve smelled the forest with birds chirping loudly.
"This is extremely realistic." She looked down to her hands, clenching and unclenching them. About to jump off, she noticed a letter gentle floating towards her. It sparkled with flecks of gold glittering brightly to fall into her hands. It was rolled up with a wax stamp on the outside. Peeling it off, she looked into the contents of the letter.
"You may not understand your current situation. I apologize for being unable to help you. I have gifted you a few things as compensation. Please think of or say 'Stats' to access your information. I have added you as a friend, you can contact me if you need anything. I will be sure to help you smoothly enter this life in the Virtual World."
Just as Eve wondered why this letter was sent to her. "So I just think of 'Stats'?" Just as she said this, a blue panel appeared in front of Eve.

Seeing the new friend request, Eve accepted it. Once she accepted it, a new notification appeared next to his name with a chat bubble. (4) Clicking on the name, Eve selected open chat.
I see you added me as a friend.
My name is Dr. Baltor.
Welcome to Endless Worlds.
How are you enjoying it so far?
How did you make it so realistic?
Also, what is an NPC?
...
Well, the answer to the first question is a secret.
But, NPC means Non-Playable-Character.
I see. I still don't understand it.
You'll naturally find out why NPC's are different to players.
Have you played an MMORPG before?
No, I never played any MMORPG games before.
Oh, dear.
I am getting busy right now, we can speak more at a later time.
For now, please enjoy this game of mine.
Closing the chat box. Eve looked around in the forest she was resting in. A nice clean forest that gave off a scent of dirt and earth. A light breeze hitting Eve's short hair. Carefully, Eve jumped off the branch, landing on her two feet.
"Let's explore first and decide from there." Spotting a small-time village, she walked towards it.
