First off thank you moderator/admin who redirected this in 1 hour instead of 24 hours, yes I creeped on the forum for 1 hour becuase this is my first fanfiction. Second This series should update mainly on the weekends and I'll try to upload several on the weekend or just do excessively long chapters to make up for it.
----------------------------------------
Adjusting this chapter to fix some things.1. going to eliminate Royal Road, too damn hard to keep consistancy.2. Longer chapters and more background. 3. The MC will now have a name, I've decided to go with Lynford as per Dolphin's suggestion since he was first, there was only 2 votes but he commented first, plus the suggestion was very good. 4. Remastering every chapter like this.
Lynford always dreamed of ruling over others, although this is impossible in modern times. Even if he tried becoming the president of his country, America, he wouldn't have that much power and he'd mainly be a scapegoat for Congress's stupidity. Plus you can't run for president until you're 35, and he's only 18 so he decided if he can't rule in real life why not in a game similar to real life like the new game "Nintendo Fantasy Chronicles".
The origins of this game was very complicated. First off Nintendo managed to steal back the main market share from Microsoft and Sony as a result of a single glitch and thinking ahead. Nintendo seeing new technology coming out such as the Oculus Rift saw the chance for a whole new market. They decided after many negotiations to buy the rights to use the same technology as Samsung used and created their own version which was considered by many to be insuperior. But not giving up they released it alongside another product based on the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, the Wii Glove which read the movements of the hand more accurately but didn't have any buttons. Coming with the release was a realistic boxing game aimed towards youngsters that had band aids appear instead of blood and wounds. The copycat Oculus Rift and Gloves made the game very immersive and well enjoyed by kids and some adults. In the character selection screen however there was an empty slot which had a glitch where it could be selected, which created a glitched avatar without any features. The featureless avatar was very creepy so kids and teens alike loved it, many used it in online matches to unnerve opponents. Before Nintendo could patch it, modders jumped in and hacked it to customize their own features since it didn't have the same safeguards the other characters had. Some added in skins to play as their favorite character from other series, while others added in effects like blood. Most of them played online creating matches where you could have a Darth Vader who when punched got dents in his armour, aliens that spewed purple blood and guts, Pandas wearing boxing gloves, and some even managed to incorporate Mortal Kombat like finishers.
Eventually Nintendo managed to patch the game and received some charges from parents and others for not reacting fast enough. Also the modders and others who took advantage of the glitch complained so much that Nintendo re-released a version of the game at half the price without safeguards on the characters and set it M for mature. The game received such high ratings and sales that Nintendo managed to pay off the charges and even made a profit. After that they continued delving into VR technology and became the dominant company in VR. Around 20 years later they managed to create the first true VR game using all 5 senses and based it upon all the novels, tv shows, videogames, and graphic novels that were created in the past about VR and Fantasy. The main inspirations were LMS, SAO, LOTR, and Final Fantasy.
SAO's digitalizing of slashes was very inspiring for the non-mature version of the game for kids ironically since SAO is very mature and dark. LMS was used as inspiration on how to shape the continent and several of the monsters. LOTR of course inspired the many races and the relationships between them as it is pretty much the Holy Grail of the fantasy genre. Final Fantasy inspired some of the finer elements of the game like the steampunk elements that a world full of magic is bound to have and some of the races not covered in LOTR.

Now back to the main story:
He promptly ordered a Nintendo Coma that arrived within 1 week. That of course isn't the real name of it but people called it that because people in it looked like they were in a coma. The real name got forgotten shortly after it was revealed because even the employees and CEO started calling it by the more popular name. The game itself has been running for 3 months already but there was a delay in it's arrival to other places despite it's advanced translation system. In that 1 week he went about his life as usual and did minor research about the game to find out what he was going to do in the beginning.

-Yes but what else is there to connect to? This is like a pre-ROM console, there's nothing else to play on it.
[box border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=3 width=80% bordercolor=#202020 bgcolor=#f5f5f5][col colspan=4 valign=top width=100% bordercolor=#202020 bgcolor=#f5f5f5]Iris, thumbprint, voice, and DNA scan has detected that you are an unregistered user. Do you wish to create a new account?[/col][/box]
-No, I'm here to stare blankly in this white space.
Lynford thought 'Wow that many scans seems overkill'
-Sarcasm detected user creation process started

-Emperor

He thought to himself 'Wait that actually worked,I thought that this name would be taken for sure and I'd have to choose something else, Great! 7 races? I thought there was only 5 available, did the Asians already discover and unlock a few? Might as well not complicate things.'
-Human
Do you wish to play the mature version or the kid's version? The difference is mainly blood and mature relations.
-Mature obviously, who knows how much the kiddie version will nerf things.
Choose from 3 available genders: Male, Female, and Hermaphrodite
-Male, so one of the differences rears it's ugly face so soon haha.
Then a avatar that looked just like him except with thin clothes appeared and a voice rang out.
-Do you wish to alter your appearance or leave as is?
-Keep it the same, my precious needs no altering
Choose your starting city from the list of available cities and map. Starting stats and skills, if there is any, will be configured there based on your race. You will be unable to leave the city for a total of 2 weeks or 3.5 days in real life to allow people to get used to the new environment. Warning combat is different here than other games as the realism is higher it makes even beginner mobs hard to kill alone.
Then a map showing the world appeared, unusually it was flat rather than a spherical hologram like most maps are like nowadays. Also it had a key showing the relative distances on the map in caparison to its true size. The world was a Pangaea like landmass as it was only one big piece of land surrounded by water with only a few lakes and scattered rivers. Lynford noticed something funny right away as he watched the trailers often.
- Hey this map is only an eighth of the size advertised in commercials.
The disembodied voice responded "You can only start out in lands already discovered by adventurer's or the original start. The rest of the land retains a 'Fog of War' to beginner's until they are trekked upon."
he thought to himself 'Oh well, Guess I should start out somewhere easy to take over, like a militaristic state."
-Put me in the most militaristic Kingdom there is.
"Teleporting to the Kingdom of Gerussia, Village of Sicheren Untergang
A bright flash a light whisked our MC away while he thought 'That sounds German, good thing there's an ingame translator or I'd be screwed'
