1 Entering The World (1/2)

'Welcome!' The bright glare of the words appeared in the empty darkness that I found myself in. At the moment I couldn't feel anything. It was like I was disconnected from my body. There was no sound, at least no sound that I could hear.

'You've been invited to a game; would you like to accept the invite?' The old words melted away and new ones appeared. Although, there still was dead silence.

What did it mean by invited to a game? Although, I'd always wanted to do something fun. I shouldn't shy away now that something fun has appeared. However, who knew if this was going to be fun at all in the end.

'Thank you for accepting. You'll now enter into the World of Mayhem Amusement Park. Because you've been invited to the game. A few special privileges await you. Would you like to accept these special privileges?' After I accepted the invite the words had morphed and taken on a warmer feeling to them.

Obviously, I would accept these special privileges, who didn't want to start a game with a leg up on everyone else.

'Very well the Player has accepted the special privileges. Please move onto the character creation screen. After that, you'll be gifted skills from the main system. Any abilities that you had from your previous world shall also be converted over into skills that can be used.

What did it mean by the previous world...

All of the sudden the word vanished, and I was confronted with a character creation screen that you'd see in any game. The avatar that was waiting in the area, was a perfect replica of what I looked like. That was a little strange. They had the mole underneath my eye all the way down to the scar that I had on my hand from being cut with a knife.

What was actually happening here?

'Please make your specification to the avatar as you see fit Player.' The words appeared before my eyes, yet again.

Pushing the sense of fear out of my mind, I decided that I would take the game words to heart and create my character. I'd always wanted to be a non-human character. I quickly begin to sort through specifications and adds on and change a number of things. However, I still make myself look like a humanoid character.

It didn't take me long to get the hang of the character to create options. In no time at all, I had finished creating my desired look. By the time I'm finished with the character creating, an icier version of myself appears. A woman with long silver hair, with two ivory horns gracefully coming out of her forehead. With a pair of golden snake eyes greets me. I'd also added some golden tattoos that I had found in one of the customization screens. To give her an ethereal feel.

I'd kept most of my body proportions finding that they worked fine with the feeling that I was going for. Satisfied with myself, I look for the save button. Before, I could find it a screen appears before me.

'Do you wish to save these body configurations, in less the player finds a body changing item they will be stuck with this preset, is this body customized to your liking?' The text box read, and a save button and a change button were at the bottom.

Glancing towards the avatar I created I'm pleased. I select save.

'The player has created their desired body. Please wait as we transfer you to your body.' The words appear again. What did it mean by transfer to my body? I already had a body, didn't I?

Wait! I never actually started a game, I didn't remember this at all.

All of the sudden, I felt my consciousness being drawn towards a bright light. I could hear the soothing sound of music. Blinking my eyes slightly, I try to wiggle my toes and they respond. Slowly, the darkness shrouding my eyes vanishes and a white ceiling comes into view.
