《The Exploiter》The start of something big.
Advertisement
Welcome to the new world, Frey.
An overly exited melodramatic voice practically screamed as soon as the welcome notification passed.
"Frey! Before I am allowed to let you begin, please bear in mind that you can Private Message the Creators inside your friends list, do so only incase of emergancy or with any errors you may find. Thank you, and enjoy."
The kingdoms have been at peace for many centuries, the ground is fertile and few are unfortunate. The Die of Beginnings is awaiting your roll.
With that last notification fading away, Frey found himself in a white abyss. White air spreading further than he could imagine surrounded him and immediately in front of him, was two large, pitch black dice floating without a sound. Before Frey could question their reason of being...
Player 1, your first die will soon be rolled, this is a fate of everyone. No matter the world, everything starts with luck.
'1? I suppose I'm the first player to start? I'll be first to exper' The system seemed intent on preventing him from thinking as at that very moment, the first die began spinning.
It spun so fast that he wasn't capable of seeing the dots anymore, just streaks of white amongst all the black. He felt as though if it got any faster he might be pulled towards it, being instantly bludgeoned by the revolving die.
With a sudden gust of wind, the wind came to an almost instant stop. The dice no longer had white dots, it was as though they had been blown off from the spinning pressure. Frey was about to question if there had been a fault, as he was the first person to join, perhaps it was possible?
However, to his relief, white bubbles seemed to seep from the surface of the die before making a simple number. Number 1.

The die has been cast. Your start in life is decided. The second die will now roll.
This time, the other dice started to rotate, exactly the same thing as before happened, however this time, he rolled a 5.
The fates have been sealed.
With that last message, everything went black.

"Ugh?"
Frey found himself to be laying on what felt like the floor with his eyes closed, there was something spikey poking into his ear, probably a factor to his waking up. 'A dream?' There was no way. He used his arms to rub the sleep out of his eyes before finally opening them.
"Straw?" The spikey thing bothering him was a long, golden strand of straw. Looking around to get his bearings, his certainly wasn't home.
He was lying on a stone slab with nothing but hay and loose pieces of hiding keeping him from feeling the chill of the stone, the walls around him were bear and seemed to be made from mud, there were another two of such slabs beside him and a lit fire in the centre of the hut. Whoever lived here was living a very poor life.
"What the... No way... Uh. Status Screen?"
Frey Level: 0 Health: 10 Mana: 5 Class: Not yet chosen Titles: 2 Fame: 0 Karma: Good Status: Hunters Son Statistic points not yet unlocked.
"Ah, so it's like that, I'm actually in the game..." Frey could honestly not believe it. He felt everything, he felt the pain from having something as small as straw poke him. It was unimaginable how realistic it was. He pinched himself to check, and sure enough, he could physically feel the pain from being pinched. A game with this much immersion, could it be popular? Pain is not something that people like, he himself certainly doesn't.

Has there ever been a game that didn't show me statistic points from the get-go? and why do I have two titles already?'
"Show my titles"
The First Player. + 20% total experience for everything. Poor Beggining. The less fortunate see you as one of them, royalty may take pity.
'A 20% bonus to EXP gain for everything? Something like that so early in the game...Amazing.'

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
