Chapter 2: Character Creation

[The scan on your iris and vein has determined that you are an unregistered user. Do you want to create a new account?]

Sarah smiled sweetly as a gentle and somewhat melodic female voice seemed to float softly into her mind rather than through her ears. The voice seemed to be coming from nowhere since the only thing around her was complete darkness lit by twinkling stars that slowly circled around her.

‘She sounds so beautiful.’

Even though Sarah knew that it was a computer generated voice she couldn’t help but sigh as she compared it to her own. She had always felt that her voice was rougher than the average girls’ voice, she wouldn’t be mistaken for a boy but it was still fairly rough and masculine. It made her envy the girls with nice voices, her own pet peeve.

After a minute had passed the voice repeated itself. Sarah herself wasn’t a stranger to virtual reality video games, when she was younger her daddy and she had spent many days playing them together.

Her mother had always commented that even though he was a married and working adult he had never let go of his childhood, he absolutely loved video games. But her own interest had waned as she grew older.

“Yes.”

[Eternity has one hundred and eighty six thousand races. You may select your race from the primary one hundred and fifty thousand races.]

Sarah let out a small snort. RPG games, both virtual reality or not, have been developed and released over hundreds of years. The fact that her father’s company only had around two hundred thousand races made it one of the smaller games in terms of character creation. Nevertheless she had heard that it was already selling a reasonable amount of copies.

“Xana.”

Of course there were races for all types and when she was young Sarah had always played as a mage or backline fighter, she had had no choice since her father had always insisted on tanking on the frontlines.

‘Your friend picked the Spriggan’s as his race. So I think you’d like to pick the Xana race since they share a close relation with the Spriggans.’

Her father’s voice flitted through her mind and she smiled. According to her father the Xana race both shared a close connection with the Spriggans and was also known as a race of females that used magic as their primary means of attack.

[Select your gender from male, female or neutral]

“Female”

A girl with jet black hair and pale skin appeared in front of her, Sarah wasn’t surprised to find that she was looking at herself. She walked around her figure and saw that it was a flawless representation of her. The hair reached just below her shoulders and her brown eyes were murky rather than bright. Superficially she had gained little to no physical traits from becoming a Xana, which was one of the perks her father had pointed out.

[Select the name of your avatar]

“Diana.”

There was no real reason or story behind picking the name Diana. Sarah had always felt that it was a beautiful name and she used it as often as she could, if she was online then she was always known as Diana.

[Your account has been activated. Your stats have been allocated to your avatar automatically. You can decide your class at level ten]

As far as Sarah knew her races stats were fairly simple, as a magical race that was made of flesh the Xana were given four stats, Stamina, Vitality, Intelligence and Wisdom. She would gain race stats and abilities once she entered the game.

[As a member of the Xana race you will start in the Xana village of Xanandra. Is this acceptable?]

Sarah nodded her head, she saw no problems with what the computer was stating.

‘Sure.’

[Welcome to Eternity, Diana. Would you like to take the tutorial?]

“Yes please!”
