Chapter 3
The Two teleport to a different room. The whole room looks advanced with Holographic screens and Health meters everywhere with other players names. Ryan is watching a screen that shows a whole bunch of players trying to take down a Dragon.
"This is the Starting Room" Alexandria said while they walk to toward the middle of the room.
The room had a map of the world on the Floor. Hovering over the world was a painting of a Girl in black sitting on her throne on one side and on the other side of the World showed a woman in wearing all white Siting on her throne.
"So exactly what am I supposed to do" He asked her while looking at this Moral on the floor.
There is no set objective. You can do anything you want. you can help people, hurt people, take over the world, Save the world, or sit back and watch it burn. Its an Open world Game full of free will. You can do whatever you want." She explained.
"This is going to be so fun!" He replied.
"You say that now, But I know a few things you don't". She said while taking another sip of her wine.
"Like what do you mean?" He asks cautiously.
She sits her wine glass down and drunkenly stares at him.
"I don't want to ruin the surprise." She replies. She opens up Holographic screen and Types his name into it. She makes a Character Avatar for him and Closes the screen.
"You are all set!" She said while grabs him and pulls him to the other side of the room.
"Since this is an RPG game, we need to get you a Starter weapon" She said while she pulls him to a door. She opens the door and there is an Arsenal of weapons on the other side. "This game isn't like Halo, its just going to be Swords, magic and arrows" She told him as she pulls a bow off the shelf and hands it to him.
"Honestly, I wasn't very good at halo, I was just cosplaying that day. I do absolutely love MMORPGs way more than that game". He told her as he grabs an Arrow from the shelf. He Fires the bow at a target, and it flies far right. It Knocks a few pieces of plate armor off the shelf.
"What if I wanted to start out as a magic class? Do you have any of those items available?" He asks her.
She snaps her fingers and A whole bunch of mage armor appears on the floor and some staffs appear too,
He looks at all these items and finds nothing that suits him.
"How long will I be in this game?" He asks her.
"Eternity" She said while taking another sip of wine.
"Wait what?" He said sounding surprised.
"This place is going to be an Alternative to hell. Of course, you're going to be stuck inside this thing forever" she said while summoning a Couch out of nowhere. She sits down on it. She obviously is Hammered and doesn't want to stand anymore. She puts her wine glass on the floor and crosses her legs.

"So, I am going to be stuck in a Medieval fantasy world forever. Umm I'm having second thoughts about this" He told her as he puts the magic staff, he had in his hand back on the shelf.
"Look, you thought life was a game. So, I'm making this your own version of hell" She said while leaning her head back.
"Well if that's case, can put in a special request for a Special Item I can start with?" He asks her.
"I don't see why not. What do you want?" she said while leaning over on the couch.
"I want a Cellphone" He replies to her.
"Wait what?" She asks while falling off the couch.
He helps her up. "I want a Cellphone. It will be a Magical Trinket I want to take into the game" he tells her with a serious tone.
"What the hell will you do with one of those? This place doesn't exactly have cell service you know" She responds while he picks her up and places her on the couch. He sits in front of her so she can't fall off again.
"I mean, your wasting your Time with such a Useless item, but if that dumb evil bitch can be a faction leader even if she didn't contribute to making the Server, I guess I can make an exception." She said while Conjuring a Smart phone in her hand. Ryan takes it from her.
"Can I enchant it?" He asks.
"Sure, you get 5 enchantments." She said while randomly rubbing Ryan's back.
Ryan thinks hard and figures out exactly what he wants to do.
"I make this Item Soul bound! Let no one be able to Remove this item from my person!" He said as he holds it up. The item emits a Green cloud of smoke. Confirming an enchantment.
"I also enchant this item to have unlimited battery life!" he said as he holds it up. The Phone emits a Blue Mist Confirming the enchantment.
Alexandria smiles and keeps rubbing his back.
"I also Enchant this Item with unlimited Storage!" he said with excitement. The phone emits a Black mist. And the phone makes a demonic Screaming sound.
"Wait did that go through?" He asks her.
"Maybe. I assuming its going to save items to the Void" she said with a drunken laugh.
"I also make this item Indestructible and Waterproof!" He said while waving his hand over it.
The phone bursts into flames, and he drops it. The phone magically is encased in sapphire yellow phone case. He picks it up and feels it. Its not hot at all.
"I wonder if that worked?" He asks her.
She smiles at him. "Try it out"
Ryan gets off the couch and picks up the phone. He winds up his arm and throws it as hard as he can against the wall. It makes a hard impact sound and he goes and checks it out. Its fine. He then goes into the Armory closet and pulls out a Battle axe. He winds up his arm and Slams it down on the screen. Not a scratch. He then hits it over and over again 20 times in a row. Absolutely No damage. He then throws the battle axe into the closet and picks up the cellphone.

"For my final enchantment I want the following apps on this phone: World map, an encyclopedia of the game for Detailing all the monsters, their Stats, weakness's, Battle strategy. I also want a translating app for understanding foreign languages, I want to be able to see my stats, My health bar, and everything else useful. I also don't want to be stuck in a world where the only music I can hear is that from a Lute or flute. I want all the music from my old phone on here. All 532 songs. I want battle data apps like Damage meters, and Threat meters, and I want an Offline version of google with tons of useful items I can have on hand from earth, and Finally I want a Quest/Achievement tracker. Ryan said while waving his hand over the phone.
The phone Suddenly lets out a Bright flash and a distinct Ping is heard. He See's on the screen that 9 apps are currently downloading. "Wait that was allowed?" Alexandria asked.
"Yep, 9 apps are downloading" he replied.
"Now I think about it, I think with fact the device can store things on its own, Apps down count as an enchantment. I Guess you got 1 more magical Enchantment you can put on it" She told him while she slowly sits up.
"I Want to be able to Buff up and heal myself with this thing" He said jokingly. Suddenly the phone freezes into a solid block of ice. He Drops it and the ice around it shatters. "I take that as a No, you can't do that" Alexandria said while trying to stand herself up.
Ryan picks up the phone and looks through the phone. There was a widget page on the bottom that had a list of buffs that were ready.
"I believe It worked!" he said while showing her the screen.
"Wow, I'm very impressed!" She told him.
"Who needs a weapon when you got a Swiss army knife of knowledge" he said jokingly.
"Your right, I thought you just wanted a cellphone just to play on it for the rest of eternity. But these are some very useful items to have on hand." Alexandria said while stumbling to the middle of the room.
"Are you ready to go now?" She asks.
"Yes, I am" He replies while going through his playlist and decides to be a smart ass and put on the song: "When the Lights Come on" From Asking Alexandria.
"I will never forget you Alexandria! You will be forever in my heart and forever in my playlist" He said while walking into a Blue Spell circle.
"Oh, wow You had to make an Asking Alexandria Joke, didn't you? She said while shaking her head in annoyance.
"Just for that I'm sending you down there with a small Weiner" She said while laughing.
"Wait what?" He shouted over his music sounding alarmed.
Alexandria snaps her fingers the portal he is standing in starts to power up.
"Take care out there, and DO NOT DIE in any PVP zones! She said while Saluting him.
He Slowly Starts to Rise up to the sky. "Please tell me your joking!" Ryan screams.
"I'm not Joking. If You Die in a PVP zone its an Automatic Game over. And the Leniency I granted to you for your Suicide sin will be null and void. You will have to spend 5,000 years in hell. So, Pick your battles carefully buddy!" She screamed at him as he floats higher up into the Air.
"Why are You Just now telling me this?!" He Shouts in anger.
"Because I am Drunk and kind of Forgetful right now!" She shouted at him laughing.
"Your such an evil Bitch!" He Screams.
"Hey if you Learn a Valuable Lesson on the meaning of Life I will pull out of the game and Give you another chance" She screams as he gets a little bit higher.
"I'll Keep that in mind Alexandria!" He screams.
"My Real name is Clementia by the way! Alexandria is just my Nickname. Hey if you can do me a Favor, and Disrupt, and dethrone Discordia for me, I'll add something special for you! That bitch did not Contribute to this damn Project, yet shes a fucking Faction leader and it pisses me off!" She said while throwing her arms in anger and stopping her foot.
"Alrighty I'll make a mental note to do so at a high level. Hey, are you kidding about sending in with a small wiener? He Shouts in an extreamly Distressed tone. He is almost out of sight.
Alexandria Just smiles and Waves at him. Good luck!
"Alexandria!!!" He screams as His body gets high enough and is teleported out of the Room
Alexandria Just smiles picks up her wine glass. "Well time to go make a bet with the Guys" she says to herself.
Suddenly a Drunk woman teleports into the Room with her.
"Alexandria! We just had a Crazy idea! We just gave some T-Rex's arms and spawned them into the Dinosaur Survival world! Lets see how Hitler Reacts to this!" The woman screamed in an excited tone.
"Oh I am in!" Alexandria screams.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
