Chapter 25 - BRAINWASHING LOU JIN (1/2)

LUO YAN followed Luo Jin to the kitchen, a bit curious why he was in a bad mood.  He found him getting a carton container of orange juice.  He didn't bother getting a glass and just directly drank from it.

”It's bad manners to drink straight from the container,” Luo Yan commented.

Luo Jin glanced at him.  ”Well, I just did,” he said and then placed the orange juice on the counter top.

”Why are you in a bad mood?” Luo Yan asked innocently, blinking his big peach blossom eyes at his younger brother.

”I'm not.”

”Yes, you are.”

”I'm not.”

”You are.”

”I'm--” Luo Jin stopped.  What was he doing, arguing with his second brother like they were a couple of children?  Totally not cool.  He sighed.  ”Fine.  I'm in a bad mood.”

”Was it because of Arcadia?”

Hearing the name of that stupid game, all his annoyance resurfaced again.  And he couldn't help but remember what happened.

Let's back track a bit.

= Two hours ago... =

After carefully reading the game manual, Luo Jin wore the VR helmet and then turned it on.  The surrounding became similar to a dark starry sky and then the words 'Welcome to Arcadia' appeared.  When it disappeared, Luo Jin found himself in the middle of a garden.  Then a shorty impersonating a butler suddenly appeared in front of him.

”Welcome new player!  I'm the Gamekeeper, I'm here to assist you in your first step to enter the world of Arcadia.  First, please enter your chosen game name on the screen in front of you,” the boy wearing a butler's uniform introduced himself.

Then a virtual screen appeared in front of Luo Jin.  There was a keypad that he could use to input the name he wanted.  He frowned.  He hadn't thought of a name yet.  He shrugged.  He'd just chose whatever.  He typed [Overlord].

”I'm sorry but the name [Overlord] has already been taken.  Please enter another name,” said the Gamekeeper.

He entered another name but it was taken yet again.  Then he entered another and another and another.  Until Luo Jin came to a point where his patience was already at its limit.  He could even feel the ticking of the muscles on his face.  Out of extreme annoyance, he entered the words [AmazingYoungMasterJin].

”Congratulations!  The name [AmazingYoungMasterJin] is not yet taken.  From now on, this would be your official game account name.”

Luo Jin almost cursed.  Great.  He resisted the urge to cause bodily harm to the little butler in front of him.  So he could at least vent his dissatisfaction.

Then next the annoying butler asked what gender he would use.  Of course he picked male.  Then if he wanted to customize his appearance.  He didn't bother with that part.  Why would he?  He's perfectly fine with the way he looked.  Finally, the butler asked about what race he would picked.

There were five choices in front of Luo Jin; Humans, Elves, Beastkins, Gnomes, and a Random Selection.  He suddenly remembered what his second brother said.  That he would choose the random selection because there's a chance he could get a rare race.  Luo Jin also decided to choose that.

After picking the random selection, the little butler said, ”Your race is now locked.  You can now enter Arcadia.  Strive to be the best.  But I hope you won't forget to have fun.  Welcome to the start of your new wonderful journey!  Best of luck!”

Then the butler slowly vanished as well as the surrounding garden.  After that, Luo Jin felt like he was being sucked inside a washing machine.  He was spinning and spinning until his back hit something solid.
