《Rioneed : VRMMORPG》Chapter 1
Advertisement
A ray of light snuck up from the small opening of the gate of the doors to light a little bit of the furniture in the tight room. Although the space is small, it is very tightly exploited. The small bed that suits the body of the young man sleeping on it is located on the far side of the room. Next to it is a small metal table with a number of books . the few small paintings on the three walls of the room reflect an unusual sense of organization and style. Despite the calmness of the place, the young man began to wake up from his deep sleep to sit on his bed, staring with a lost look around him. All around Ibrahim Tawfiq was familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. All around him felt like he had seen these before, when he thought a little he knew where he had seen this room before.
It's his private small room that he lived in at 2345. What was not familiar to him is that this room and that date is from a distant past for him, a past that has witnessed strange changes and events that no one could expect at all. Ibrahim stayed in his place staring in the room around him, and when he saw his mobile phone, he picked it up and opened it . The phone was locked with a code that he had not yet forgotten . he entered the code followed by a voiceprint, then a 30-cm oval transparent screen appeared hanging in the air showing many things on his phone. Ibrahim ignored everything on his phone screen and looked at the clock and read what was written under it in a smaller line then said in a loud voice :
-November 10th, I came back in time for ten years before the beginning of the game .
he held his phone with a shivered hands when he realized that this wasn’t a dream but a reality. He tried to pinch himself more than once causing some pain to realize that he was not in a nightmare . after a whole hour of thinking he accepted the fact that he came back for whole ten years . he calmed down his mind and started to think about the present and the future . If he had returned before Rioneed launch , then he had the opportunity to change the ominous future that he and his Egyptian players will face. When he thought about what he could do in Rioneed , his thoughts were organized and creative , he was not a 18-years old young man, but he had the experience of a man in his early 30s . His experience was what prompted him to realize the weight of his new responsibility if he chose to do it. So he tried to calm down and to think properly . If everything went like it happened before, Rioneed will be released in just a week. One week wasn’t enough to do what he wanted to do .
The first thing he did next was to get into Rioneed website . Rioneed was an online game of virtual reality. Although it's not the first game in this field which started to be viral in the whole world dozen decades ago, but it's really a very special game. The reason isn’t because its world is so big , and not because the capsules prices were too expensive for many people to play in comparison to other VR games , but because it hides a very big secret. It will change the humanity future indeed !

He read the website front page content which included advertising data about the game with promotional videos from inside the game until he reached the game buying area to find a custom box to select the country. When he chose Egypt and clicked the button next to the box the page refreshed to show new data . he read it in loud voice sarcastically :
-this country is not supported by the game-producing company. Whoever wants to play it he must buy the five stars luxury capsule and must pay its price plus the costs of installing and operating it.
Warning: The company is not responsible for any failures , errors or problems caused by the capsule in countries not supported by the company .
He laughed loudly as the reality that he knew five years later after the start of the game is that this "productive company" is an alliance by the great 8 nations to distribute the legacy of Rioneed to themselves and their respective allies . at 24th century many countries change their old names and many more were still called by their historical names . the eight great countries in the whole world were tasania , britania , france , Canada , Russia , almon , china and foroton . The latest warning is known as a pre-defense from these countries towards the events that will happen to the people who will play the game in the rest of the world . after five years of the game when everyone entered Rioneed , they discovered that any citizen of any country that was not supported by the "producer company" was usually destined to die . this is not shocking as Anyone from the unsupported countries buys the capsule , the company ships the capsule to their homes . Their information will be available to anyone who wishes to monitor them . so it was very easy to get rid of any player if he became a threat to them. Despite his anger and his extreme hatred towards this black and racist plan he wasn’t afraid from it and decided to put an end to all of this . he scrolled down and saw the total price below the long warning including the price of shipping and installing to realize that these people did all what they could do to prevent as many unwanted countries as possible from entering the game.
He began to recall all his memories about Rioneed including all the difficult moments he and his friends had. The last five years of the game were a terrifying nightmare for him and others. It took him a while to organize his memories together and overcome the obstacles of his painful past to think about what he had to do in the future . Fate has given him a new opportunity to change everything . He now knows the plans of these eight countries and many secrets of the game so he has the advantage of being miles ahead of all. He also has a huge share of memories about the game and its internal secrets . Ten-years secrets in the game are not a simple advantage . But if he really wanted to defy and defeat all these plots on his own , he will have a difficult task if not an impossible one . Although he lost his parents when he was young in a painful incident , but they left a great heritage for him that will make it easy for himself to own a capsule in this game. But if he really wanted to change everything , he won't be able to do it alone , especially when he buys the capsule he will be under constant surveillance from the company. If they found out what he's up to or feel threatened from him , they won't hesitate to kill him in cold blood. So the first step is getting ready to leave everything behind , he must escape very far away . Even though his humble apartment with two narrow rooms and a small rectangular hall holds many precious memories , he realized that sooner or later he will leave that apartment . where would he go? Although he has returned from the future , he rarely left this new city of Alexandria . He has to find a safe shelter for him , and he has to find others to help him. This was not a difficult thing to think about for him , as after everyone moved to Rioneed five years later, a group of extraordinary players appeared at the Egyptian domain who carried the flag of defending Egypt against foreign invaders . Ibrahim didn't need to think very long to remember the information of these young men , as their addresses, their places of work, and what they were doing before the start of the future were a well known information for everyone in the game . He also knows their current financial situation , so the financial responsibility for buying the capsule has grown into seven capsules, one for him, and six for the other six players . He decided to sell all what he owned to prepare the needed expenses for all of these capsules and other stuff . in a few minutes he searched for a local company to sell all the lands and all the apartments he owned including the one he lived at and finished all the electronic papers needed for that .

In 2345, by the 24th century, it was very easy to sell and buy anything in Egypt. Not only Egypt, but in the whole world. The sale did not take a few minutes and a large sum of money was immediately transferred to Ibrahim’s bank account. As he had not yet found a place to escape, he asked the representative to give him a week to leave the apartment. The ownership of the lands has been automatically transferred successfully . Although he knows the addresses of each of these players , when he bought the capsules from the game website , he didn’t enter their addresses but his only his own address . he didn’t want them to be watched from the company eyes as he couldn’t provide them with safe houses yet . Although he didn’t guarantee that no one will find them in the future , the task of searching for them will be difficult and long , which will give him time to carry out his plan and by this time he could protect them more easily after he finished buying these capsules he found out that it would take five days to ship them to his place , so he had to travel and talk to these young players and return to this apartment in just five days. Moving the seven capsules out of the apartment wasn’t a problem for him , as he planned to buy a huge truck to take them and move them to every player . As for their installment he knew that it was just another lie. The capsules worked by solar power and connected to the game via satellite broadcasts and were not controlled by any country at all , but by Rioneed itself. Installation and operation were not difficult at all so he was ready . After he finished everything he looked at his phone to find that it was 4 A.M. . although he needed to rest but he didn’t have much time left so he opened his phone and found a map of Egypt and entered the eleven addresses of those he chose to communicate with. He found out that three people were in New Alexandria, and one was in Old Alexandria. Two were in Modern Cairo, one in Mansoura , one in Assiut and the other in Aswan. The last one was in the city of Catherine town near St Catherine Monastery. he chose twelve people, not just eleven, but the last one would communicate with him or her on the last day before he got the capsules. This person has a very special situation and so he needed to plan it well before any contact with him.
After he finished checking all the addresses, he entered the phone numbers he remembered of the eleven people and saved them with 11 numbers. The number twelve didn’t have a number but had only one name . Although he was very pessimistic in the number 12 and this was a strange thing, he now feel extremely optimistic and confident about this number. Every person he chose represented a force not to be reckoned with, and the most important thing about them was their deep feelings for Egypt and the Egyptians . He wanted to change the destiny , his destiny and his country’s players destiny and try to survive through all of that . he wanted to take revenge if he could , as revenge would taste just like heaven especially for someone lived through hell before .

Lone: The Wanderer [Rewrite]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer?
