chapter 1

as the youth lay on the hospital bed he thought to himself way of getting his revenge, only one of these ways even seemed remotely possible due to his condition.

he had decided to destroy henderson inside the new game by Elitas inc.

this was a task that will be extremely difficult due to the fact that henderson commanded the COS clan otherwise known as the conquerors of shamballa.

The COS clan was one of the two top clans in the last MMORPG that elitas released and apparently due to this they already had signed a deal with Elitas Inc. to have a foothold in game.

on the other side of the two big clans was the defenders of valhalla, they were a smaller group compared to the COS but generally had more skilled players, the youth didn't want to join this clan. they may be at each others throats but there was someone in that clan that he didn't want to associate with.

he decided that he would create his own clan but that would have to come later after he had established a power base in game, so he did the obvious thing he could do.

he called his parents and asked if he could get the game and the CIS.

‘’mother can i get the new game that Elitas are releasing?’’ the youth asked with a small amount of hope in his voice.

in response to this his mother simply handed him a cheque with over $3000 on it. his exchanges with his mother usually went like this as he had not once heard her speak to or about him since he was a child, he never knew why it was like this but in truth he didn't care it was what he was used to by now.

he quickly cashed the cheque online and ordered the game and CIS which would be delivered on release day and started to research on the basics of them game.

rare variants exist that have mind related stats

starting classes-

Warrior- start with hard leather armor, rusted iron sword and small dented buckler

Thief- start with tattered leather armor, rusted dagger and rusted short sword.

spell caster- starts with tattered robe, rotten staff.

cleric- same as mage.

archer- starts with tattered cloth armor, bent short bow and 30 arrows.

this was all the information that had currently been released and looking over this the most probable way of working alone would have to be the thief or the warrior, the spell caster would be weak in terms of defence and the cost of mana potions would only get higher with every spell learned. the cleric relied on a team to level so that was out of the question for now, the archer was very similar to the cleric but also who knows how much arrows could cost so it wasn't to good for solo players.

the thief was good as it most likely had stealth abilities and other related ones while the warrior was the front lines man and considering there was many different ways of fighting on the front lines of battle it could be used very differently than most classes.

also it is said that there are many hidden classes in the game but they had to be found and usually only one person could get them.

as the days passed until release the youth could only sit there waiting,doing research on the game only took up so much time. eventually it was time for the launch of the game.

the youth put on the CIS and started it up, a quick jolt of electricity suspended his motor functions so that he wouldn't hurt himself while playing, slowly what he saw changed and in front of him appeared a woman wearing a flowing white one piece.

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

‘’welcome traveller, to the land of santax, here your journey of new possibilities will begin now why don't we create your new host’’ she said as smile stayed on her face.

‘’ a human warrior, and i want it to look like me’’ the youth quickly said.

‘’oh quick on the draw i see, well then what shall your name be young one?’’ the asked him as she stood there.

‘’zero i want them to know who it was that destroyed them and curse the name they gave me’’ he spat out as rage slowly filled his thoughts.

‘’oh thats a new one, eh i don't really care though’’ she said half enthusiastically.

as she said this blue light grew around zero, as the light passed he saw himself in the middle of a city, behind him stood a massive castle. around him other people started to appear, many different races appeared mostly human or elf but every 40 or so there was a on ork.

opening his inventory zero saw the starter ‘gear’ that he was given. the sword was so rusted in might as well be useless as it barely gave even 2 damage, the armor was only slightly better as it gave him 4 defence the buckler was probably the saving grace of the class as it had an extra effect giving it a %5 chance for a physical attack to be parried.

this %5 may not seem like much but if even one attack could be parried it open up the chance to take advantage of the opponent when they were weak. as then even a single strike could be the difference between life and death.

''info'' zero eclaimed trying to bring up his stat table.

‘’skills’’ he called out. in front of him a small blue box opened up revealing a single skill.

Skill Name:Skill Rank:Skill Level:Skill Experience:bash1010you bash your foe

'' really that is a rather shitty description'' upon seeing the skill zero couldnt help but exclaim.

''well first things first let go get a few levels''
