As a boy, Axe was not very bright, Although he had no diseases or anything like that at all he was still however only with an average IQ which led him to be, well not exactly the main attention of his parents as they were mainly working and had barely any time for him.
As time passed he was already seventeen (17) years old and had been helping his parents with whatever he could at any chance he could get if only for a little over a thousand bucks. (1000$) he lived in America with only a small house with a 'Maid' which was being paid by his parents so as to at least keep Axe in a semi-good physical form.
Axe however had other plans, when his supposed 'maid' wasn't telling him to do something productive he was playing games on the internet and had just recently heard about THE game being released. This particular game was indeed a virtual reality game and just so happened to be about spaceships which actually intrigued Axe who was a BIG fan about space and all its wonders.
There was one slight problem, this supposed 'Capsule' was available for order BUT it would cost him around 500$ which was the cheapest one. Around half of his monthly allowances would be taken from this but nevertheless, Axe decided to go and order it near instantly.
After paying, Axe was just about to stand up when he heard a sound DING! which indicated he had received some sort of message which indeed it was, It was a written notification which was just as followed:
EMAIL RECEIVED: Dear customer, as you just just ordered off this website for the first time AND you are appearantly according to our database millionth customer or in other words, Customer #1000000.
This is unexpected seeing as we had already reached a million customers but for some reason the customer right before you cancelled His/Her order and you have been chosen instead. This reward will take place once your capsule arrives and you log in for your first time. For now we have sent you a digital manual which explains how you will do things ingame and we have added an some extra 'service' in there, Tehe.
Axe was not just flabbergasted at the extreme LUCK he had just now but also creeped out at the last words which were the following; "Tehe". for now he would read the manual in his computer.
[[[Author Note: Thank you FicFanatic for the 'The Nebula' and the inspiration for the toolsets/classes.]]]
TERRAN/HUMANS. For now This is the only currently available race unless specifically stated otherwise or under some specific 'Circumstances' which the the AI states otherwise.
The Terrans are the most widerspread race and also the most balanced while 'For now' the most scientificly advanced race, this race has three options as starting areas:
Stations: The stations are recomended for those who want to get money quick and efficiently but they they will need to move alot and know how to fly spaceships which is why taking the small craft tutorial is recomended for those and to should some mistakes be applied, the AI (Artificial Intelligence) will prompt you if it senses you are either accidentally clicked on wrong or somehow something did not go as expected.
Planets:The Planets are mainly for terrans who are about getting better in the long run and do not mind about not getting spaceships and are recomended for those who do not want to do the tutorial for flying but this is THE best way to get money safely.
Owned Ships (Either player owned or NPC Owned: The player owned ships are able to respawn players IF they are for examble something like 'carriers' which have a cloning bay installed then the player can choose between the 'nearest station' or 'The carrier'. The NPCs however do not get this option unless they rest in a a Cloning Capsule and are commanded to do so. NPC owned ships the player has the same option of choosing between the nearest station but also the nearest planet IF it has Inhabited human cities, For the player however has to rest in the Cloning and log out for at least a an hour in real life for the effect of spawning inside an NPC owned ship with 'Cloning Capsules'.

It also included a lot more which he also read ((A/N, Didn't to write this because people usually skip this chapter but not always.))
After reading all this repeatidly for 6 hours, he had memorised every single thing on it and Finally.... FINALLY..... It arrived, the capsule and all the stuff.
As the men were installing the Capsule, Axe was talking to the person in charge of moving the capsule.
-Head- "Alright sir, if you'll just sign here... and here..."
Doing as told, Axe just signed in his name.
-Axe- "Alright, i am done signing what now?"
-Head- "Alright, you are now done. Just a heads up, when you are inside the Capsule you should hear a voice to help you adjust your body to this before you fall asleep."
-Axe- "Thank you for answering that Mister......"
-Volume- "Ah Call me Mr. Volume."
-Axe- "Alright Mr. Volume. Thank you for delivering it and i'll be going now so i'm afraid i can't invite you in for coffee or anything."
The man just Nodded and left.
After locking the door, Axe simply got in the capsule after going through the process of things he fell asleep.
-Would you like to log into 'Untold Galaxies Online?'-
A clear neutral voice rang in his head like a bell on christmas eve, this is just what you could expect from an AI so Axe tried to remain calm and answered.
-Axe- "Y-Yes please."
-Scans of your brainwave and iris show that you are a new player.
Do you want to activate your account?-
-Axe- "Yes."
-Would you like to do the character creation now or later?-
-Axe- "If possible i would like to do it now."
Alright, Since you are the millionth customer for this company i will give you one wish.
-Axe- "Alright, If possible i would like to start with a big ship. Is that possible?" Axe asked hopeful that there was a possibility of that and trying not to burst of excitement.
Hmm.... Yes that shouldn't be a problem but there are rules.... They are....ONE, You can not trade this ship nor sell it at all. TWO, you will be unable to upgrade it and you will be unable to buy a new one of the same type unless this one is destroyed but on the other hand it CAN NOT be stolen.
-Axe- "Hmm, That sounds reasonable enough, I would like a carrier.
You will receive a Thanatos Class Carrier with the following stats.
Durability 250,000/250,000
Shields 100,000/100,000
Shields Regen 150 p/s

You will receive half the maximum amount of crew to man ship which will also be unable to rebel as well as maximum turrets and weapon slots available, 12 Dingy ships of maximum quality available and 36 fighters of same quality.
Are you sure you wish to accept?, this will require 1 wish, If you accept you will also get start with Leadership Stat at 250 and 'Capital Craft proficiency".
-Axe- "That..... Sounds about right, I accept." Axe was amazed or otherwise just stunned by how OP this ship was but did not need a second to think about it.
Alright, you have Zero wishes remaining now onto character creation, Human is the only race available so you will be automatically set to "Male Human" do you wish to change anything? Note that Female is unavailable unless you're female in which you are NOT.
A Human Male looking around Nineteen, Brown hair, muscular build and a Rather average face and absolutely not a supermodel face if there even exists one.
-Axe- "Alright, that is fine and i already look good enough here so i will be moving on, i will select Mechanic as main class and Technician as secondary class."
Alright, you will be transported into a random space station instead of the carrier and the carrier will wait for you in the hangar, Is this alright?
-Axe- "Ehm... n that is not alright, can you transport me to the station with the most amount of players." Axe said with a slight hesitation as to whether he should or not but he had eventually decided to do so.
Understood, You will be transported to.... Cheerlox Station IV(4) orbiting around Cheerlox moon IV(4) in One.... Two.... Three.
A blinding light enveloped Axe and he was transported to Cheerlox station IV,(4).
