《The King of Avarice》Chapter 2 : Game - Start
Advertisement
[Profread by Yandere and Jason Master]
When I opened my eyes I was in a black room that seemed to go on forever. Fog covered the ground and a massive box floated in front of me.
Game Start : 30 mins
You may create your character while you wait for the game to start.
Huh, it seems I logged in earlier then I thought, maybe there was a delay? Well, I can create my character first, luckily I won't have to wait a half hour to do so.
I yelled out "character creation" when I did, a copy of I how I look in real life was standing in front of me.
I’m about average looking, with some muscle for constantly moving and working in my business. I'm about 5,11 black hair short beard and mustache, I get most of these qualities from my dad, my mother was shorter and had lighter hair, with what seemed a serious, yet kind face with a trace of cunning, which is what you need to be when successful in my field.
I am able to go into the VR because I recently promoted someone else to do all the work that I usually do for my business, making it so I can be in Welcome Online freely without needing to log out unless something important happens that strictly needs my attention.
"Hmmm, what should I change?" I mutter nonchalantly.
"Guess I will make myself a little taller to a perfect 6, then maybe I should add a little muscle just to look less weak. Maybe I should make my facial hair a little thicker to seem older and darken my skin just a tad so I don’t look too white," I edit my character.
After clicking ok on the character image I get the next prompt and an update on the time left.

Game start : 20 mins Character Name - ________
"Huh what should my name be let’s try 1... " *Name already in use* says a weird voice.
"Damn already in use, ok let's try nick..."
*Name already in use* same voice.
“Nope not that one. Crap ok let’s try Nicholas."
*Name already in use* same voice.
"What the hell that one too? -ok, let's try Nicholas Flamel, after the alchemist.”
*Name Accepted* says a slightly different voice.
“Hell ya, I got it! -fuu I was worried I wouldn’t get a good name."
I got another update on the time and a follow-up window that seemed like a race selection
Game start : 15 mins Race Selection : Human, Dwarf, Elf, Behemoth, Silf, Demi-Human(any animal), Cisti, Falorin, Loterous
After reading each benefit's I decided to choose the Loterous race because it gave a bonus to luck and con, plus a few racial abilities like; poker face, quick draw, and finally... friendly smile?
Passive Skill : poker face -At any time, your face shows nothing that you do not want it to. Passive Skill : quick draw - able to draw things from anywhere, %10 faster Active Skill : friendly smile - smile and easily make friends = raises charisma by 50%
And I still look like normal, aside from longer fingers, pointed, ears and what seems like a better nose. The update prompts.
Game start : 5 mins Where To - race = Loterous- Lin, Let, Lotes, Latcher. Outside of race territory - Hun, Ald, Geit, Jiter.
I choose Jiter were any race could be present, so I can use my ability to the fullest.
The game has now started, additional character creation items have been added.

Ætla Verǫld
AV Online was just a flash in the pan—a harsh, experimental land which lost most of its players in mere weeks. Only the dedicated few remained, carving out their destinies in corners of the vast abandoned world. Lily Quinn wasn't one of them. With a career worth millions in the esports world, she didn't have time for a game like Avo—but when an exclusive beta test for the new version showed up on her doorstep, she couldn't say no… as much as she wanted to. Literally hooked into the simulation, Lily reluctantly entered a world beyond anything she'd ever dreamed of. Accompanied by seven other beta testers desperate to save their beloved game, Lily dives into a vibrant, beautiful world, where mystery and adventure waits around every corner. Despite her reservations, Lily finds a joyful escape in Avo, shattering her cold, hollow reality. It was just a game though… until the group discovered they couldn't log out. Trapped in a game with no rules, and surrounded by cutthroat players eager to kill for a quick windfall, Lily and her ragged band have no choice but to fight their way out, or die in a game that has turned all too real. Hi there! I'm setting off on yet another adventure, come join me :3 Unusually for me, there's only one perspective this time, and it's quite a bit more action-oriented than I usually write. Don't worry, though: everything's still as character-driven as always, and I never get tired of writing dialogue. Just to acknowledge it up front: this story is heavily inspired by EVE Online and the many stories generated by that world. However, since this is a fantasy setting, not sci-fi, don't expect any real parallels. Chapter publish rate for this one will be whenever I write them, as with Epilogue. I don't expect to move as fast here though, since it's not for NaNo. The plan is chapters somewhere in the 4k-5k range, and hopefully frequently. The Last Science takes priority as always though. Special thanks to Reaver and Ace Arriande for pushing me to get this going, and to all my fellow writers whom I've stolen from been inspired by. You're all wonderful people and I love you Quick reminder: Patrons get to read ahead of what's published! Also, try my other works: The Last Science — A Tale of Modern Magic Epilogue — A Post-Fantasy Psychodrama What are you still doing on the synopsis? Get to reading! Cover art (fullsize): Forgotten World Coliseum, by taenaron (Tobias Roetsch), modified by Etzoli.
