So.. I decided to not write what is going to happen after Chris went out to enjoy himself. After checking the results of the poll I posted a little while ago, I think I am not going to keep mature (sex stuff ) 'in' the story. Instead I am going to write some side stories later which will also give some important informations about things in the story that might not make any sense at the time. So the story will move back to VR ( which is probably what most readers want too )
PS. There will be no violation (rape) scenes in my story. Rape, sadly, is part of our world with many culprits and victims and I don't accept to 'create' another victim OR culprit of such monstrosities, even if they are fictional. The story in general will remain on the bright side for the most part of it. (I also added this in my Fiction's description)

{Richard} '' Just one more signature right here and we are done. ''
{Chris} '' Here, all done. ''
{Richard} '' The installation team is going to finish any moment now and you can start your adventure. Remeber! If there are any troubles with the capsule don't try to use it and give me a call immediately. Also if there is any major development with our plan, again call me immediatelly either from real life or from inside the game. As for the internet function, make sure it remains a secret. ''
{Chris} '' Don't worry. I will be mostly around NPCs but just in case I will be carefull every time I use it. ''
{Richard} '' Please do. There will be a bunch of problems if someone finds out. Now, since the team seems to be done with the installation, it's time for us to go. ''
{Chris} '' Leaving already? ''
{Richard} '' Yes, lots of stuff to do with the 10th year anniversary of Royal Road coming up. ''
{Chris} '' Ok, thank you for making this possible in such a short time. I too have lots of stuff to do from now on and there shouldn't be any time to waste. Have a nice day Richard. ''
{Richard} '' You too Chris, have a nice day ''
{Installation Team} '''' Have a nice day sir! ''''
{Chris} '' Good Bye! ''
After walking the team and Richard out I went back to my room. There lied my advanced brand new capsule. This one looked even more like a spaceship than my previous one. It was a little bigger too. The color was mainly black and it had cosmic illustrations here and there. I liked it. I didn't lose any time. I entered the much more comfortable capsule and activated it.

'' Yes ''
I appeared at the same spot I logged out the last time. I headed towards Caleb's study room without wasting any time. Once I entered inside the enormous study room which you could easily call a small library I found Caleb as expected. What I didn't expect, was for him to have a guest.
{Caleb} '' WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED I WAS? ''
{Curunir} '' Sorry! Bunch of stuff happened. I didn't know you were expecting someone to come over. ''

At the mention of the additional person who I never met, Caleb left worryland and snapped back to reality.
{Caleb} '' Oh that! Where are my manners. Come here young man, I would like to introduce you to someone. ''
I headed next to Caleb and took a better look at our guest. Not much to look at to be truthfull. He wore gray mantle that hid his body and his hood hid his face completely. The only visible thing on him was his white beard and that's how I knew it was a him and not a her.
{Caleb} '' My old friend, this is Curunir Fang. My one and only son! ''
Since your relation with Caleb Fang was announced, you are officially his son, Curunir Fang. Your current name changed and will never become known.
I instantly opened my Status Window and checked my name. It had indeed change to match that of my adoptive father.
[My nameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. What the f-ck!]
Closing the window my attention went back to the figure of the mystery man. I felt his gaze over me. It was like he could see at the very depth of my soul.
{Mystery Man} '' I know for a fact that you can't father any children Mad One. Don't tell me you created another abomination trying to perfect your master's research. You remember what happened the last time. ''
{Caleb} '' Don't call him an abomination! Franky was just different. ''
{Mystery Man} '' FRANKY!? Pah-hahahahaha! You make him sound cute. That monster was a calamity. Hundreds of thousands died at his hands. ''
{Caleb} '' But that was my fault not his. I tried to give him a stronger body so he could be safe. It just didn't mix that well. ''
{Mystery Man} '' Even someone like me with nonexistent knowledge on magic knows that a weak soul can't handle a many times stronger body. In the end only the superior insticts of the body will remain while the mind deteriorates, changing the individual permanently. When that happens the being follows his insticts and them only and your creation was hungry, constantly! ''
{Caleb} '' I handled it, didn't I? ''
{Mystery Man} '' And how did you do that exactly? You never cared to share, even to the one that went out of his way and brought that thing back to you, alive. ''
{Caleb} '' Ough. Look Franky is safe where he is and at the same time the world is same from Franky. I believe that is enough. ''
A strange conversation had began between the mystery man and Caleb. By the way the two of them talked I could understand that they knew each other quite well and probably for quite long. That conversation raised so many questions in my mind. In the end I butted in interrupting them, although it seemed Caleb was glad I did so.
{Curunir} '' You tried the same experiment grandpa Cal did to create you? From what I understand that didn't go so well. ''
{Caleb} '' Yes, I did and sadly didn't go so well as you said. That however is a story for another time. Now, just to make everything clear my old friend, Curunir here is my adoptive son and he is also my master's legacy. ''
The mystery man did a light jerk which was hardly noticable after Caleb mentioned the words 'master's legacy'. Suddenly I could feel a light pressure which as it turned out came from the mystery man. It was enough to carry a message between the two since right after that, Caleb told me to go to the kitchen and eat something while he and his guest were to talk in private.

I did just that not really caring what is going on. To me that was just a waste of time. All I care about is to start my training and then go have awesome adventures. In the kitchen I found a meal already served. The plate was somehow keeping the meal warm. Fascinating stuff.
The meal had an otherwordly taste like always. I start to worry, I might not enjoy meals in real life after a while. The conversation of Caleb with his guest was normal... at first. After a while the volume of their voices was raised, especially the one coming from the guest. In the end, I could even hear what he was saying.
{Mystery Man} '' YOU ARE INSANE! MUCH MORE INSANE THAN I THOUGHT YOU WERE. ''
The door opened and the mystery man left with heavy but at the same time swift steps heading towards the exit. He didn't even wait for Caleb to walk him out. The moment he opened the door to exit the castle he just disappeared. To be frank, I don't know if he teleported or he just moved too fast for me to notice. I walked to the office only to find a sullen Caleb sitting in his armchair.
{Curunir} '' You ok? ''
{Caleb} '' Yes, don't worry. It's not the first time he has a temper tantrum only to leave moments later. ''
{Curunir} '' Who was that anyway? ''
{Caleb} '' A very old friend. Even though he is Human, he's been alive for almost as much I've been. ''
{Curunir} '' What? How is this even possible? Are you sure he isn't a mummy by now? Maybe that was the reason he wore that mantle. ''
{Caleb} '' HaHa. That made my day. Him, a mummy. You shouldn't underastimate the human race my son, or any race for that matter. That man is someone strong enough to stand against me. He has a couple of serious disadvantages, but still I would think twice before going against him. We were trained from the same master after all. ''
{Curunir} '' So he is a disciple of grandpa. That explains everything. Do you see each other often? ''
{Caleb} '' Not really. Last time I saw him was a couple of handreds of years. We had a reunion, me,Draven and him. In the past our reunions were more frequent but his and Draven's personalities are like oil and fire. They always had a 'sparring match' which would always turn to a deathmatch. If it weren't for me to stop them every time, one of them would be dead for sure, if not both. Things got even worse when Draven had an unexpected loss against him. ''
{Curunir} Your brother lost against him? Did he cheat or something? ''
{Caleb} '' No he would never do that. Draven has different circumstances than us. Me and Ody were mostly alone, training and perfecting our skills. My 'kids' can grow on a safe environment and their lifespan is much bigger. They can learn from their mistakes and teach the younger generations. Draven's on the other hand lived in a constant fear. They couldn't control their bloodlust on full moon and hurt others or even themselves. They were and still are persecuted by the other races. Draven had to step up and lead them, protect them, teach them, give them a chance. Soon after that, the difference in power between us was quite obvious. Draven had to deal with all sorts of things while we trained. Draven became distant from then. I offered to help him but he said our races had bad blood between them and it wouldn't end well. ''
{Curunir} '' It's kind of sad. Together for so many years, only to end up hating each other. I guess that Ody you mention before is the name of the mystery man? ''
{Caleb} '' Ody is how I call him. If you want to know his name you will have to ask him yourself. By the way Ody doesn't hate Draven. To him, Draven is more like a rival. When Draven couldn't keep up Ody was angry with him. The reason of that anger however wasn't hate. To Ody, it seemed like Draven broke a promise. As for Draven, he indeed feels hate, but the one he hates is not Ody. It's his own self. ''
{Curunir} '' Did you try to fix it? ''
{Caleb} '' I did, many times. It's not that they don't, it's just that they are damn persistant. ''
{Curunir} '' I see. So did he come for a reunion after so many years you hadn't seen each other? ''
{Caleb} '' Sadly, he came to give me a warning. Some fools from our ranks got tired of staying hidden and decided to come out and make chaos. ''
{Curunir} '' From your ranks? ''
{Caleb} '' That's right, you probably don't know. Say son, do you know the Power Ranks of this world? ''
{Curunir} '' I might have an idea. Why don't you explain everything? ''
{Caleb} '' Very well! In this world exist 8 Ranks of Power. First is the no rank, after that is the elite rank, then the mini-boss rank, then the boss rank, then the hidden-boss rank, then the dragon rank, then the world-boss rank and last but not least the God rank. Once you reach the God rank, the ranking system changes. Gods have rankings too, whether they are real Gods or those damn 'beings of higher purpose' that gain power from faith. Now, everyone in this world is born as a no rank. Even if your parents are boss rank or even higher, you still are born as a no rank. Exception to that rule are the Dragons. These pridefull sons of bitches are always born as a dragon rank which also took its name from them. ''
Caleb clearly hated dragons for some reason, maybe that's why he takes pleasure in eating them.
{Caleb} '' Once you become an elite you are ranked as Elite G and you can go all the way up to Elite S. The same goes for all rank except God rank and of course no rank. To rank up you need to either succeed on a mission of the level of the next rank or just beat/ kill someone of higher rank. Each time you can only rank up once, so even if as an Elite G you kill a Boss G, you will just rank up to Elite F. The higher the rank, the stronger you are. That ranking system exists only for sentient beings. The non sentient beings just rank up as time passes or if they kill very strong opponents. Some times they just appear... ''
{Curunir} '' How do you become an Elite? Where do I get missions for rank up? ''
{Caleb} '' That for another time. I won't risk having you running off like a fool. ''
[Damn he saw right through me.]
{Curunir} '' Ok, Ok I get it. When the time is right and all that crap. So what rank of power do these individuals belong to? Since you said 'our' rank before it means you are of the same rank. Which is it? Boss? No maybe even hidden-boss? ''
{Caleb} '' What are you talking about? It's obviously the world-boss rank. ''
:wat:

A young woman gets thrown into this grimdark world from our own. Will she survive the curveball that gets thrown in her face as she changes into something else? Map created by Maximeplasse This fiction is based on my play-per-post RP that I've run before but with my own take on summoned characters and dungeon settings. At certain points I'll also allow reader decisions if the story gets popular enough. xD It's unrelated to the D&D Theron setting; Telduria I just liked the name and the map when I started up the RP back in the day.
