“Alex do you remember the game that I tell you yesterday?”

“erm, yeah? That virtual reality thing”

“look! it was being published in the magazine"

I showed Alex the newly published magazine, Advenra. It publishes thing that are related to the game. Well, before it was famous around gamer. Because it’s was filled with newly update event in game, dungeon, bosses, rare drop, and all. But now it not just gamer that read it, everyone is reading it. It was discussing The second virtual reality in the world. The first is crap. I don’t want to talk about it now, thinking about it again made my head aches. It was full of pixel, pixel and pixel everywhere, every time I play it there is this weird feeling and I ended up not playing it again. I can’t believe I bought that useless expensive device. I don’t expect too much from the first VRMMORPG but I didn’t think that it will be that bad, well it was the first. So there will be some thing that lacked. A lot people stopped playing it thought. After five year of big lost the Developer decided to close the server. But now the developer had launched another VRMMORPG, Dream World Online.

“So the first server will be opened next week huh?” Alex looked a bit guilty while looking at it.

“yeah, well the first game is crap but I’m sure this one will be great. And winter break is coming, so let’s play it together”

“nah~, sorry Lon but I won’t play it with you from the start”

“wait? Why?”

I was shocked after hearing his word. We usually play these kind of game together. But why not this? The game are great. There are many thing that can’t be explained in the game. I need him to interacting with the NPC and other player. I just can’t talk normally with other people even the NPC. Just for your information I’m an anti-social person.

“I don’t really have any reason, it’s just I have another thing to do first” Alex face showed another guilty expression

“Well okay, I thing I will play when you already done with your problem”

“No, you can start it without me you know. You have to somehow fix that pessimist character of yours”

“What do you mean by that? What part of me is pessimist?

“Do you need me to remind you? I remember this person who woke me up in the middle of the night just to sell a rare armor in the central city, and someone who only enters the most deserted servers in the game, and that time when that person needed a party to clear his quest and he----“

“Stop it” I throw a book at Alex before he can finish his sentence

“what are you doing Lon, that hurt like hell you know”

“Just see it, I can play these game without you” I leave Alex and sit on my original seat

After the school had ended I spent the rest of week researching and learning the game. From what I get, it seem that all the activity in the game are created by some super smart AI computer. We could say that computer was this game’s God. The god created Light and Darkness in the universe. Overtime those two materialized into humanoid shaped creature. While Light and Darkness didn’t have anywhere to go. The God created a place for them and that was Dream World. The two of them become The God of Light/Creation, Aeon and The God of Darkness/Destruction, Zeon. Aeon rule the Upper side of the world and Zeon the underworld. Short story those two God was not in a good term. And for The race it was split into two, the one who worship Aeon and the one who worship Zeon. Angel, human, elf, fairies, and the such are in Aeon side, while undead, vampire, orc, dark elf and such are in Zeon side. Simple isn’t it? For the class I don’t know how to explain it but there’s a lot of it. There are some category it was novice class, basic class, intermediate class, high class, unique class, legendary class, colossal class, godlike class. The last two somehow strange though. Never heard of them in another game. The world map are like layered ball from deep underground to above the sky. Above it there seem to be endless space. I think that all that I know.

Three day before the first server of Dream World online open, the device that I order had already arrived. When it was finally installed in my room I was shocked at how big it was. I though it gonna be like that helmet or google like device that was used in the first game. But now it was like an egg-shaped capsule. I read the manual. It seem to create an account I have to use this device.

“Well okay, it time to register to another world, bwahaha” I laughed with a dramatic evil tone.

“Brother what are you doing laughing like that? You’re bothering the neighbor”. I shocked when I heard my sister’s voice through the door.

“nothing, just forget it” my face was bright red. Do I laughed that hard? What if one of those neighbor of mine heard it? I hide my face behind a pillow and sit on the corner of room, checking the window if anyone is passing my house. It seem there’s no one there.

I picked and read the manual again. It seem I have to get naked for the capsule to scan my body. Well it was a device so I think it okay. After entering the device i press the register window-screen.

“Do you want register to the main computer?” I heard a woman-like computer voice. I was shocked at this but somehow I can reply it with a little awkward answer

“erm, yes?” .

“The device will start scanning your body please say the word you will use to connect to server” I think I have read it before the device will asking this, it function is like the log in button. This time I was prepared for it

“Start!” I don’t want to use some difficult word just to connect to a game.

“Are you sure you want to use this word to connect to the server” I heard the word that I shouted

“Yes please”.

“Your account have been created do you want go to the next process, Character Creation?” oh? I can create my Character before I the server opened, Well I don’t have anything to do later ,

“yes”.

“Please say the word” what word? Wait, that word?

“Start!” my vision suddenly goes into black space
