Chapter 2: Wandering Newbie
The silence of the game got me bored. Until voices of a young lady from a far was clearly heard. After the darkness, light came. It blinded my sight and revealed a beautiful garden. Guess it’s the Garden of Creation. I tried to feel my body, yet still can’t feel it. Guess I’ll have to wait for a NPC to drop by then.
Looking around, a welcoming NPC dropped by. She’s so beautiful. NPCs like her, makes the game Exciting. She showed a wonderful smile and greeted me. She’s the one printed on the CD cover of the game. Just look at those set of legs she has, Heaven! Sadly, she’s just a program. If I could just take you home young NPC, enough with the pervy thoughts.
I stood up and replied a smile. The NPC suddenly made a sound. Obviously she spoke. “Welcome to Shiver Online player 3678! Please tell me your designated name. This will be the one you will use upon playing the game.” Of course, I gently replied to the NPC and said the name “AceNomo” the NPC once again replied.
“Okay AceNomo!” She smiled at me and winked.
Whoa! What a glorious wink. It was like a spell that can make me feel my nose on the other side spilling blood. Thank you for the genius who programmed beautiful ladies here. I hope Alliance Online will be the same, or better. Suddenly, The NPC raised her hand and casted a Spell. Time to time my body began to be covered with flashing lights and my vision began to turn into a very dark surface. It was so dark like I was blind.
A light that gives darkness, Magic! Seconds past, the darkness turned into a peaceful city. I was teleported on the city nearby, Holy! I forgot to ask her name…. Damn! Moving on, I walked and wandered around the city. It’s a large city with soldiers guarding the gates. I also noticed that player seems to be few in this city yet the servers says that 2498 players are online right now. I checked the map and saw a beeping red light. So I’m in the Kingdom of Haven Light.

I shifted my gaze upwards and sunlight dazzled my eyes. I blinked once and stared on the big castle. The light fades time to time and also reveals the enormous kingdom. The game was not as bad as the players say in the forums. I guess it’s worth a play.
Staring at the castle, a player came out. Inspecting his golden armor set, I suspect he’s one of the top players arround here. The name is Kin’OI, what could make a ranked player wander in a level 1 floor?
Ignoring the famous player. Gently, I patted my super mini bag hanging on my belt inorder to open it. As I can see, it contains nothing as for now. All I have is a lump of bronze coins. I think it’s the game currency, Gold > Silver > Bronze. A hundred bronze is equivalent to one Silver and a hundred of silver is equivalent to 1 Gold. Closed my bag and continued to walk barefoot, the game entertains me so far.
While walking, a loud voice silenced everybody in town. He was the Game Moderator. Reminding everyone to be kind to everyone, he also announced that beginners can claim a Gift Box on the center of the kingdom. After hearing such a news, i wasted no time. I ran as fast as my Avatar can.
The kingdom became alive. Players online rippled, everybody ran towards the fountain surrounded by mobs where the Gift Box giver is. Everyone is running, dodging and shoving to get themselves a precious Gift Box except for one. A beginner who looks exactly like the player I saw in the castle with the Golden Armor set, but with the name "Kai’OII" I am sure as hell that I saw his name as "Kin'Ol" in the castle. But how'd this happen? A total coincidence? Thinking this matter is no big deal, I continued my pursuit for my Gift Box. I pushed myself into the mob, swinging my elbows from left to right, nudging everybody who is on my way.

After having a hard time, I claimed my Gift Box successfully. It felt like I won a war among these players. I stood up straight and opened the Gift Box. It contained a weapon of my choice coupon.
Grabbed the coupon and read its description. “Show it to a nearby Blacksmith shop and choose to what weapon you like to forge” I think I saw one while I was running my way here. Nearly closed my eyes and looked around, in the distance, I saw the blacksmith shop. The shop looks messy and abandoned, reminds me of my house. I walked by and entered the shop, tapped the bell and it made a sound. Ting!
Lights were turned on and a Young Girl with apron came out. She was stunning, her body and slender white set of legs in full display. Smiles and says. “How can I help you sir?” I was stunned for the whole 2 seconds and lit a smile and showed the coupon. The girl took it and asked.
“What kind of weapon would you like to craft sir?”
What kind of weapon? This question kept repeating through my mind. Let my chin rest on my hand while thinking. Suddenly, my favorite swordsman action figure passed by my imagination. Okay! It’s all set. I warmly replied to the girl and said.
“Craft me a Beautiful Sword like you my lady, give all your strength and let me watch you while you bath in perspiration” Then winked. Who cares? This girl isn’t conscious. I kneeled my elbow near her lump and closed my eyes while smiling.
Heard three Tang! Sound, my curiousity made me opened my eyes. The NPC is finished creating the sword. It was wonderful, its color was black as the charcoal and silveryblue on the edges of the sword. The girl handled the sword and walked.
“Here’s your Sword mister Pi! Also don’t worry, I named it for you. Behold the “Sword of the Perverted Swordsman” well you know this sword is one of a kind.” After speaking, she lit a smile with murderous intent beneath it.

Young bloods (WIP)
" So-called leaders prostituted their people to wars and abuse. They destroyed families, culture and economies; their hands dyed red by the blood of the children, the families trampled by their lecherous motivations and diabolical war machines. Trained and taught by the Revenants or rather “young bloods” from their war-torn world, we were going to build a better world for us and for the later generations, a world when there shall be no more wars waged over territory, a world where boys and girls can frolic around for all of eternity." -Sasha, Terutan regular army cadet. ‘History is determined by the victors, and here we stand transcended over those who abused us. History is filled with liars, broken promises of eternal prosperity and peace. The more things change, the more things stayed the same: ideology change, location shift but power will always find a place to rest its head. We fought and bled for the adults, the grown men and women who preached of us being their future, preached us of the freedom from tyranny and slavery; no wonder why we hated them so. History is determined by the victor, and there shall be no victors when we’re done.’- Yulia Bronskavya, Red Army Homeguard. As the first modern war came to a close in November 1st, 1918, rows of passed juveniles laid the battlefields. In the name of some royal fat cats or some shitty national leader, cruelty and crimes were committed against the weak and the vulnerable younglings; in other words, adults were assholes. Their deaths marked a new beginning, a new beginning in a strange and magical land that was and had only been dreamt of in stories and folk tale, they had arrived to Terruta. The first ones regarded themselves as Revenants, heroes who had been able to be reborn in this world and began their adventure to explore this strange foreign land. However, “every coin have two sides, like everyone have two faces”. 'As they left their former life behind, the young soldiers and operators found themselves being deceived, abused and taken advantaged off again by the elders of this world. Many were abused, tortured, raped and sold to slavery, Revenants were quite sought after due to their timeless charm, strength, intellect and immortality, they were unable to be killed no matter what; many were bought and used as pets, slaves and entertainers for their masters’ entertainment. Fed up with the similar treatment and abuse by the adults of this world, many revolted and founded ICC, International Cooperative Coalition.'-Sasaki Kotegawa, JSDF Private.
