《The Exploiter》The wait.

"Hah...." Frey was beyond speechless after reading the email, he had to pinch himself before he could even start to believe it.
His heartbeat was far above his average as indicated on his watch, it warned that he may need to take some deep breaths to calm down. Frey took heed to the advice and regulated his breathing before opening the attached file...
After carefully taking his time and reading the hundred and fourteen-page attachment, he couldn't bear to keep in his joy and an awkward but truthful smile appeared on his face. How long had it been since he had last smiled truthfully? He couldn't remember, it felt strange to smile again.
The attachment contained lots of legal jibba'jabbah, causes of concern, warnings that it may affect health, cause epilepsy and much more. None of these was important as the game had been thoroughly tested and Frey was sure he wouldn't be medically incapable of using the machine. The pages also informed him of many amazing uses of the capsule, things like a feeding tube for long gaming sessions, health monitors, a direct chat with the main team of the game and much, much more.
One catch however, one was forbidden from recording any gameplay, no pictures, recordings or soundclips were permitted. However, you could create guides and ect and send out spoilers so long as it had the spoiler tag and people knew what was about to be spoiled.
Naturally, he didn't hesitate to sign his full name on the bottom right of the document and sign it off. Now, it was a simple matter of waiting 3-4 days as it was currently Sunday by the count of the billboard that obscured any view he may have had outside of his small, one flat.
"I guess I could check the news.." Frey unknowingly muttered to himself as he pulled his wristwatch up to his mouth and spoke "Today's news".

Looking over at the first post, Frey wasn't so surprised to find a high amount of people claiming to be one of the thousand, though many were fakes as he could clearly tell by the sheer amount of people claiming so. There was hardly any real information posted bar the email and attachment a user named "African_Bluetack" posted.
"I wish retro gaming would make a comeback, I really miss the old RPGs... Guildwars, Diablo, Path of exile, Skyrim, the fall of the dragon, the abyss knight... There were so many golden oldies..." Frey sent a quick glance over to his desktop computer before looking over to the top left side of his fridge-freezer.

This is the year 2400. 150 years have gone by since humanity first reached the stars, and 120 have passed since the last time mankind was united. Now, the galaxy is divided. Now, it is the age of the warlords. Alexander Wolf is the son and heir of Gerard Wolf, Lord of Obsidian and Imperial Count of the Holy Phoenix Empire. He was the successor to a solar system and the 250 billion people that live there, as well as Battlefleet Obsidian, one of the mightiest warfleets in the entire galaxy. Yet across the span of one night, his proud family was engulfed in the tides of treachery. His home was set ablaze, with his family massacred to the last. With his last dying breath, Alexander Wolf begged for salvation, and his prayers were answered. Now, as a Lord of Agony, Alexander Wolf vows to bring torment and death to all those who wronged his family, and if that meant a thousand worlds had to burn for it...then so be it.
8 112To Sleep, Perchance to Dream
Dying was unpleasant, but coming back to life? How was that even possible? And what are these words that keep appearing before me? This...isn't how life works. Maybe I'm insane. I guess it's time to find out. If I die, will I come back again? Thanks for reading! Please leave a rating or a review! Knowing people are enjoying the story really encourages me to write more. Also, I apologize for the typos. When I get the time, I'll go back and fix them, but they may linger at times. I don't have lots of time for writing, so I'm not always able to do much editing before posting.

The champion of the spark, a mere child is the only one capable of changing the fate of all living beings. As a wielder of the spark, the heavens did not tolerate him. Many heart-wrenching events befell the child from the moment he was born, even the death of his beloved. The heavens were truly unmerciful to him. This child’s name is Chen Gudan, and this is his story of love, betrayal, and revenge as he traverses his world and many others to resurrect his beloved, while juggling the fate of all... "If the heavens prevent me from resurrecting her, I will go against its will!" Notice 1: I took a bit time away from this novel to build a webpage for it.

Notice 2: This is my first novel, it would be great if you guys can give me feedback (in the form of comments) as it progresses, especially in the first few chapters. I am planning to make this novel at least a few hundred chapters long. Otherwise, thank you for reading my novel. Notice 3: This is my plan for this book: Chapter 1 to 6 are the backstory of the main character before and when he was born. Chapter 7 to 12 are the main character's early years.
