《War of the gods [Forum game]》Chapter 1. In the new world
Advertisement
“We have eaten your “I”, nameless. You are just an empty shell now,” In the darkness a voice whispered to a soul. “Soon, nameless, your journey will begin. You will entertain us.”
The soul – which shone in the darkness - began to fall down. It was falling down faster and faster with each passing second.
“Soon, nameless...” the same voice promised.
~~~~~~
A man sat and stared at the ocean waves that were rolling in towards the shore. The human was shocked.
Some minutes back the man woke up on the shore alone. He didn't know anything about himself. All his previous life as if was erased from his memories. He didn't even know his own name. It frightened and shocked him.
Who am I?! Who am I?! The human repeated the same question many times to no avail, sitting on the sand and holding his head.
This feeling was terrible, thus he wanted to cry. No, he wanted to find someone who knew him. Someone must know who I am!
But I can't remember anything! Even my name! The man was despaired and frightened.
“Who am I? Who am I?” He asked no one.
His memory gave him no even a hint of who he was.
It lasted for some time and finally the man calmed down. He realized that he should do something. He couldn't just sit on the shore and stared at the ocean waves. It is useless! Hence, the human stood up and looked around. I can see no one around me.
He also couldn't see a road or even a path in the jungle. But I need to go! I can't just sit and wait here!
The human – who wore only a pants - began to walk along the shore. He didn't take a risk to go in the jungle. I will get lost there.

After a short walk the man noticed a shipwreck. It surprised him. Perhaps, I was part of the crew? Or I was a passenger?
He hurried to the shipwreck and found a few dead bodies on the shore. Besides, the man noticed a battered wooden hull nearby and a dirt road that led into the jungle.
The human took a sword from the ground and studied it. It was made from iron and the man could feel the weapon's weight. It looks like a real one. And... it's sharp!
After some time the human had found a pair of leather high boots, a leather bag, a white shirt, and some copper and two silver coins. Damn! No water or food!
The man put his new clothes on and looked at the hull of the ship that had some huge holes. The hull doesn't look reliable. I doubt that I will find something useful there. I will rather break my leg there.
The man looked at the road that led into the jungle. Truth be told, I'm afraid to go alone in the jungle but I guess I haven't a choice now. This road shall lead me to the humans. I hope they will help me.
Suddenly the man felt that something was wrong. It was a strange feeling.
In the next second he heard numerous voices that whispered to him. They all were giving advice to him simultaneously. Some voices laughed; some screamed, giggled, or even complained. The human could only distinguish the following whispers:
[Go to the road! Yes, it can be dangerous, but it is your only chance to survive!]
[Go into the jungle! There is no any danger! Besides, your sword must be so heavy! Why do you carry this heavy thing? Just throw it out! This world is safe and happy place!]

[Go to the hull! There can be something useful inside! But be accurate! You can slip and break your leg!]
[Go to the hull! There is definitely a treasure on top of the mast! But hurry up! Someone can find it first! A seagull, for example! Hence, don't stand still, buddy! Hurry up! Don't waste your time!]
[Ocean is big and beautiful! Therefore, build a raft! Take some planks from the hull and tie them up somehow. Find a rope somewhere! I don't know! You are a clever man! In any way, sea journey awaits us!]
[You shall bury those dead bodies! Pay your respect to them! They are your (or not) comrades!]
[Buddy, you look sad and tired. Perhaps, a little dance will make you happy? Thus, dance!]

Millenia ago, humanity faced a catastrophe. Some devastating, catastrophic event that even to this day leaves its impact on humankind and the Earth. That’s not where our story takes place though, instead we look to space, where humans have taken up residence among the stars. Living in huge industrial space stations, life is a bore. Dull daily routines are broken only by extravagant fashion, music, and other means of self expression. Also, of course, the lifeblood of the stations- games. Four months ago, humanity was contacted by the first ever known alien life forms. These aliens, calling themselves the Erta offered their designs and schematics for their True Virtual Reality (TVR) console, as well as access to their game in exchange for peace. And humanity, excited at the opportunity to achieve one of their life long dreams (that is, to experience True VR), graciously took them up on their offer. Now, after scientists have finally confirmed the console to be safe for humans, the game is to finally be released to the public. This comes to the joy of most of the population, but a small portion of them can't help but be upset. As thousands of the researchers meant to be developing virtual reality, are fired overnight. Meet Brian Reed, one of these newly unemployed workers. Now, join Brian as he explores the very game that was the death of his job. And watch as he learns that the game is not quite what it seems.
