Jellica that morning had woken up with a headache but soon came to her senses
"Freaking hell , I must have passed out"
Jellica slowly gets off her bed and goes to turn on her tv
"The launch of the new Vrmmo
[Clearance Online] has everyone's attention as it is soon going to go live with its first expansion right after its release"
Jellica suddenly curious about the news looks up some more information, soon she discovers a new event within the game called [The Crucifiction] , a curious name
Excluding the name there wasn't any information other that it launched,
"Lets just play"
Jellica was disappointed as she hadn't had any information about it since she never played the actual game and wasn't keeping up with the news
Jellica quickly puts on the headset and goes in game, she slowly feels her body shutting down and entering into the game world

"Please customize your avatar"
Jellica wakes up in a white room, she slowly looks around to find the source of the voice and finds a strange brown mouse with bat wings floating in the aie
"Who are you?"
Jellica thought this was some sort of joke ,a flying mouse, you've got to be kidding
"I am the character customization guide Alister, at your service!"
Jelica quickly gets up and looks to find a floating gray window in front of her
"Hmm, strange"
She sees a white mannequin displayed next to the window
She sorts through it and finds out how to customise her character
On the gray window there were seven clickable circles,
hair , eyes, eyebrows , clothing , flare ,class and race
"Out of all the options, flare is the most curious"
"Rat, what's this flare"
The guide flies around Jessica's body
"Flare, is what decides your character's strengths and weaknesses, flares can impact your future fighting style so choose wisely"
"There are currently over 52 flares available at your disposal"
Jellica first needs to decide on a flare for her character, she tries to remember if she knew Mia Clares flare but no luck
"I need to choose one that benefits me the most"
Jellica narrows down the number of flares that she thinks are important to two
"Loved" "Grudgeful"

"Flying Rat Guide Thing, how many flares can one have"
"A single character can have up to 3 flares, currently there is one flare slot unlocked so you can only equip one at the time"
Jellica thought for a moment and she decided she must have all the advantages she can get
"How do I unlock the remaining slots?"
"Each slot costs 1000 in game gold"
Jellica looked at the guide
"Can I buy the gold for the slots?"
The guide stops in mid air and posses
"Requesting in-game purchase"
Suddenly the guide speaks in a robotic voice and gold light flashes through its eyes and mouth
"What"
Was this normal for vr games or was this one the strange child Jellica thought
A gold window appears in front of the guide depicting gold coins in warring amounts
Jellica scrolls to the end to find the most gold she can buy is only 45,000, she clicks on it
"Will you buy 45,000 gold for 500$"
Jellica was surprised about the low price since one extra flare slot cost only 1000 golds
"Yes, and I would like to buy it one hundred times"
This may not seem necessary to some but anything helps, Jellica though this price was nothing compared to losing everything in the future thanks to this game along with her father being consumed by it for years
She exits the window
Current Gold Balance : 4,500,000 Gold
"I would like to purchase the two flare slots now"
Jellica made her purchase and selected the previous two flares
"What should I choose for the third?"
Jellica looked again and remembered one that caught her interest
…
Flare Type "Awearness"
-When an enemy or hostile NPC is in the vicinity ,it warns the player about its presence, enables the use of passive skill "Enemy Detection"
-Skill "Enemy Detection"
- A passive skills that warns your character about nearby enemies
…
With this Jellica selected all the flares, then jellica quickly makes her avatar
Jellica chose a gold haired blue eyed girl and her race and class was a succubus knight
…
"A-a succubus how lewd!?!?"
At first Jellica was embarrassed by the race but it best suited her flares and class so she had no choice, as for class she chose knight as it was the class Mia Clare had in the future,
…
Race "Succubus"
They are a race of people with purple pointed ears living within the demon territory, this race specialises in magic attacks on the mind, they have common association with seduction which is completely founded in myth though many cannot resist their magical charm
-Class Skill "Charm"
…
Class "Knight"
Knights are valiant warriors specialising in attack,speed and defense, even though their magic potential is low compared to the other classes, though it more than overcomes them in physical attacks
With the succubus race Jellica could overcome the disadvantages of being a knight with their magic while having the strength of a knight to overpower the succubuses low physical defense
"Finally done and over with this"
Jellica stretches her arms reading herself and then presses the create character button
Suddenly small red cubs attach themselves to her body and transform her into the mannequin that was previously front of her
Everything in the room shifts as she is transported to a city within the game
"Good luck"
The guide waves her goodbye as she starts her new journey
…
Soon after Jellica wakes up in a bed in a stone room, she stands up feeling the stone bed beneath her, she takes a deep breath
"I'm here… but what's up with this disgusting room"
Jellica looks around and sees a door ,she heads to turn the knob and the door quickly opens, CLICK
Jellica exits the room and finds herself face to face with a giant spider hanging from the sealing
"Alarm : 1 Enemy Detected"
"Garghgh"
Jellica backs up and slams the door in its face
"You have got to be kidding me"
Jellica falls to the floor from the bs and something catches her eye, something shiny under the bed
"What's this"
Jellica picks it up and sees it in an old cracked mirror
"Why is a mirror here?"
Jellica looks at herself in the mirror and is surprised by seeing another person
Text appears next to the mirror
…
Item Name "Cracked mirror"
Type "Trash"
A old mirror left by the previous occupant of this room
…
Jellica sat on the stone thinking if she should face the spider and heads out in a bout of courage
"Grghdgh"
The spider appears again but this time Jellica swings at it with the rings of her characters finger indenting in the spiders face and a big red 52 appears above its head
"Squeal"
"That's what you get ,you bastard"
The monster falls on the ground and explodes into transparent red cubes which absorb into Jellica"s body
Lv 1 > Lv2
"I've levelled up already, it seems I'm progressing smoothly"
Jellica now stands in a empty hall that stretched into two directions, she soon fixes this problem by spinning her body, she lands on the left side of the hall
"It's decided, I'm going to go left"
Jellica heads down the hall and soon encounters a large room with a giant statue of a gargoyle which had blue jewels as eyes
"I have seen many jewels ,but this one is beautiful. I wonder, if only I could somehow get this out of the game"
As Jellica was turning away from the statue a notification pops up
"Alarm : 1 Enemy Detected"
Jellica's awareness flare had activated, she looks behind shoulder to find a pair of red glowing eyes looking at her from the gargoyle statue which now had an enormous grin plastered in its face
"You know that thing about being impressed, well that wasn't true ,you're ugly"
The statue as if understanding Jellica's words fires a red petrifying beam from its eyes as Jellica was running away she suddenly trips and slips on the floor
"I am going to lose to that ugly statue, I can't believe it"
Jellica in all despiraty feels something in her pocket ,she quickly takes it out and throws it at the gargoyle face, SHING
The broken mirror flies in the air and reflects the petrifying beam back at the gargoyle statue
"Arghhhh"
Above the gargoyle statue appears a red 1588 decreasing its HP to 0 ,as its howls stop Jellica opens her eyes finding the monster dead at last
"So a cracked mirror can reflect a death beam in this game?"
Jellica gets off the ground and dusts herself off
"That doesn't seem right"
