I woke up still feeling tired and groggy, instead of getting up I just continue to lay there trying to get back to sleep. After trying to get back to sleep without success for what seemed like hours I finally gave up. Rolling over I look for my IPhone as is my morning routine. I find it under my pillow, looking at the clock it seems its 2:33pm.
“It’s still family early, I could of slept for a few more hours” I think to myself. “I wonder what I should do today”
The person that you see before you only now getting up is Alex Smith, now your probably wondering how someone is only getting up at 2:33pm and still want to sleep more. Well its simple really, Alex has just finished his last year in school so apart from a few things every now and then he’s free to do what he wants, when he wants. Now you’re probably wondering why his parents or someone doesn't just get him up. Well that’s because he lives alone, his parents work cause them to move a lot, whether from city to city or country to country. Now back to Alex, all that you need to know about him is that after finishing school he wasn't sure what he wanted to do, he had the options to continue on to University or find work. Unable to reach a decision he decided to take a 1 year break, giving him a year to do what he wants, so mainly nothing, or just playing around. Alex is your normal 17 year old kid, he was an underachiever at school, was average in most sports and is average height.
After getting out of bed I went into the kitchen poured myself a drink and turned the TV on. After flicking between channels I found one that seemed interesting. It was about the VRMMORPG that was being released. Its name is New Beginning. The host of the show was talking to the owner of the company that made the game, his name is David Johnson. New is being released in 3 weeks’ time.
“So Mr Johnson, about your new game New Beginning, what makes it different from all the other VRMMORPG’s that are already on the market?” asked the host.
Giving a slight grin Mr Johnson replied “Well without giving too much away, the size of the planet that the game takes place on is many times bigger than any other games.”
With a slightly confused look the host said “The size of the planet? How much big is the planet then?”
“The size of the planet is 5 times bigger than our sun”
“5….5 times bigger than the sun? Why would you make it so large?”
“Why? It’s simple really the planet being 5 times the size of our sun makes it 6,955,000 Kilometres across or 4,322,000 miles across. We decided to make it that size simply to see what would happen and how long it would take for everything to be discovered.”
“….Right well that aside, why have you made it so your Race is randomly picked for you?”
“That is only half true, it is true that your Race is picked for you but it’s not random at all”
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
“It’s not random? Then how is it picked?”
“How is it picked? Well for the time being I can’t say, but I can say that the Race that is picked for you is the most suitable Race for you, regardless of what you get.
“Most suitable race for you? What do you mean by that?”
“Again I’m afraid I can’t say, but I can say that there are currently 17 Races that are accessible from the start, as to what all of those are you’ll have to discover that yourself. One other thing I can say is that you will get advantages depending on what your race is.
“…Is that so. Well I’m afraid that is all we have time for, it seems we will have to wait for the game to be released in 3 weeks’ time.
After the show was done I turned the TV off. “Maybe I should give it a try” I thought to myself. After having a look on the internet about the game it seems there’s not a whole lot known about it. In fact all that’s known about it is what the Mr Johnson revealed himself. “Well it’s not like I have anything better to do for now, may as well give it a try. After trying to find some more information on the game I couldn't find anything, it really does seem that there’s nothing else at all known about the game. Hopefully it isn't too much different from other VRMMOG’s. I have played a few but only for a bit to test them out, it would have been a problem if I ended up skipping school.
So I decided to order it. A few minutes after ordering it I got an email say thank you for purchasing etc. At the bottom it said that a day or two before the release of the game people will come and install it then on the proper release day I’ll have access to the game.
-----3 Weeks Later------
Nothing eventful happened in these last 3 weeks, although some more information was released about it. It seems once you start you won’t be able to leave your starting area/city/town for 4 weeks game time. The reason for this is because for those that don’t get a race that is similar to humans will give them a chance to get used to it. It also gives you time to find a class that you want and just simply learn about the game itself. Although some might say that 4 weeks is a little long but all well.
After having a look at the time I notice that New Beginning has been released. After getting into the capsule I wait, a few seconds later and all I see is white.
“I’m in, time to see what this game is like.” I grin while thinking that
Authors note: HI everyone, first off I thank you for giving this a read and being able to finish it. All that I wanted to say was that this is my first attempt at writing a proper story so a lot of things won’t flow very nicely, there will definitely be a few plot holes and various other different things. Please let me know if you do find any problems with it and I’ll try to fix it. Apart from that all I can say is I hope you enjoy it and continue giving it a read.
