CHAPTER 01 : MESSED UP

...With everything plug in and ready I make myself comfortable and press the green button. Then something rotate and cover the front half making somewhat dark inside the capsule. Soon a soothing melody is heard making me drowsy. My eyelid got more and more heavy by the second.

Part 01

*Ding*

I open my eyes and I'm in mid-air. In the sky to be precise.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" I scream. Why? Because I'm falling that's why.

"F****************************ck!!!" I shout as I approached the white  ground(?).

*Splat*

And I fell flat on the ground(?). What I thought priorly the ground was actually pudding(?). It has  the same texture as pudding, it is cream colored like pudding, and it's bouncy. I wonder how it is taste like?

*Wheee*

*Bounce*

*Bounce*

*Bounce*

*Bounce*

*....*

After several bounce of joy later I quit bouncing when I heard a voice.

"Ahoy there. Are you having a blast bouncing around like a teenage girl after being asked on a date by your crush?"

"..."

There's a screen with a man grinning wearing a monocle and an aloha shirt with hibiscus flower pattern on it. He's also petting a cat on his lap while sitting on chair no that's a throne.

This man screams weird. 

[Hello there. My name is Mr Aloha as you can see from what I'm wearing. I'm the creator/developer of this game. In case you're wondering what's the difference between a creator and a developer well don't bother because I sure as hell don't. Let's see how many minutes was that Clarence? What two?

*Sigh*

Let's see what else...]

It sure as hell looks like you don't wanna do this.

[ I guess I can start explaining what this game is all about. Firstly, think of all those Fairy Tales stories and ancient mythologies you've heard, read, watch and even possibly even acted in such as Cinderella, Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, Thor, Hercules and etcetera etcetera... Now, those stories came in a variety of version. Remember Disney's The Little Mermaid? Well that story have two known version to it the 'and they live happily ever after' one which is Disney's and the one that the man decides to betray the mermaid's love and marry another person which is the original by Hans Christian Andersen. You might be wondering where I'm going with this so let me tell you,  what I'm trying to create or have created is a world where all those Fairy Tales and Ancient Mythologies exist in one world and interaction is possible and that world  is known as... Drum roll please....]

*Drum roll*

[ LORE ] the man said and then...

*Boom*

Part 02

"F*************************CK WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!? OHH MAN THIS HURTS LIKE HELL AAAAAAAAA SHITTTTTT......... !@#$%^&*"

I scream and release a torrent of curses  after being blinded by the shinning white radiance.

*Ding*

       SCANNING COMPLETE            

       WELCOME TO LORE            

[WE HAVE DETECTED YOU ARE A NEW USER. DO YOU WISH TO REGISTER?]

Suddenly a female voice is heard reverberating in the air.

"Uhhmm... Yes"

[PLEASE PROCEED WITH YOUR FIRST NAME.]

Hmmm.... A name? What should it be. My real name? Nah... It'll be a be a bother if somebody from real I know found me.

"Can it be anything?" I asked the voice not expecting any reply from it.

[YES. PREFERABLY SOMETHING NON-OFFENSIVE.]

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

Surprise by the reply I wondered how advance is the AI that runs this game to reply to me so casually.

"Do you have any suggestion I can use?"

[...]

[ YOU CAN USE YOUR FAVORITE COLOR, FOOD, FRUIT, VEGETABLE OR YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER FROM MOVIES, CARTOON, MANGA, COMIC, ANIME.....]

I'm happy with the reply but the AI is starting to ramble on, I better make this quick.

"I have decided."

[... YOUR PET, YOUR- ......] The AI suddenly stop her suggestion and wait for me to follow on.

"Apple"

[FIRST NAME 'APPLE' PLEASE PROCEED WITH THE SECOND NAME]

"Green"

[SECOND NAME 'GREEN'. WE WILL PROCEED TO THE CHARACTER SET UP PROCESS}

[YOU HAVE THREE OPTION. DEFAULT, OPTIONAL AND RANDOM]

[DEFAULT - YOU CHARACTER PHYSICAL CHARACTERISATION WILL BE THE SAME AS THE ONE IN REAL]

[OPTIONAL - YOU CAN CHOOSE HOW YOUR CHARACTER WILL LOOK LIKE ON YOUR OWN]

[RANDOM - YOUR CHARACTER CHARATERISATION WILL BE CHOSEN BY THE GAME SYSTEM]

"..."

I've heard of this from the player's forum. You can choose three option to create your character namely default, optional and random. Most people would choose optional because you can basically become whoever you want. Although some option are set default like gender to avoid any confusion and the rise in the number of perverts in the game. I also heard that the game are quite meticulous during the character set up process.

[PLEASE SELECT HAIR COLOR]

Huh? Who cares. Should I select default? No that'll be too boring. So what color should I choose?

AHHHHH...... DAMNIT.... I CAN'T CHOOSE!

*Sigh*

"Uhmm. Random."

[HAIR COLOR RANDOM. PLEASE SELECT EYE COLOR]

"Random"

[EYE COLOR RANDOM. PLEASE SELECT LIPS COLOR]

WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE COLOR OF THE LIPS!!!!

"Can you tell me how many selection I have to go through"

[CERTAINLY. 19 MORE SELECTION TO GO]

I have gone through only two and I already feel tired of it.

"Uhmm... Random... to all"

[...]

A momentary pause and then.

[ALL SELECTION HAVE BEEN MADE TO RANDOM. CAN YOU CONFIRM THIS]

"Yes"

Finally I'm done. I can finally start with my plan.

[ALL SELECTION HAVE BEEN CONFIRM TO RANDOM. PLEASE SELECT THE CITY YOU LIKE TO BEGIN WITH}

"Random please"

[...]

Then my body starts to glow brightly hindering my eyesight and I felt like I'm in a elevator being lifted up and down.

Part 03

I arrived on an altar. In my field of vision I am out in the open. There are other altar beside the one I arrived in.

"Whoa. Everything looks so real"

They are other people around me. Players and NPC. Which is which I don't know. This world doesn't put anything sign on how differentiate between the two.

I try walking in my new body. Seems somewhat small in comparison to my real one. But I don't  mind because this new body feel comfortable nontheless.

I look at my small hand, the skin is colored white but not pale-white it the healthy looking one I think it's called natural beige (white with a tinge of yellow and brown) or something.

Then I take a look on my hair. I have a long wavy jet-black hair that reach my waist.

"...."

I made gesture with my hand like sliding something on a touch screen panel.

"Inventory"

" Hand mirror. Equip."

With trembling hand I grip the hand mirror and view myself with it. I have alluring ember-golden eyes, lush peachy red lips, curly eye lash and a sharp looking eyebrow.

"WHAT THE F***************CK!!!!!!!! I MESSED UP!!!!
