"Welcome...."
"Keno"
Keno's body was a thousand threads of rainbow colors before they took the familiar shape of a young boy, sixteen to be exact. He had luscious silver hair and eyes the color of the sky. After a few seconds of silence, the world around him formed into a living, breathing world.
His body lay limp on blades of grass that whipped wildly in the slow morning breeze. A blanket of yellow daisies as far as the eye can see.
"Hello young traveler!"
Keno's eyes bursted opened and his body lurched upward to a standing position. He blinked sporadically before focusing on the voice he heard. His disorientated mind made him take a step forward only to stumble down to all fours.
"Woah there young friend, it's a little bit earlier to be walking. Take a sit on them there flowers and I will Explain everything."
The voice belonged to a barbaric human dressed in a large heavy set bear skin and a assortment of metal straps. He had a menacing brown beard and a musty face that did its best to smile.
"My name is Tikk and I'm your host for the entry into your new life."
Keno felt himself settle as he could finally focus on the thick Irish accent.
"I..."
Tikk raised an eyebrow before putting up his hands to show he had no weapons.
"Don't worry lad, I don't bite."
The wind picked up slightly and Keno could feel the shiver cascade down his spine. The reverting of his soul finally complete.
"Where am I?"
Keno asked as he flexed his fingers over and over again. He still felt a fuzzy sensation in his entire body. At least he could finally formulate thoughts.
"Why you are in the game, The World of A Thousand! As the name suggests, the game entitles you to make your way through each world, becoming stronger and more adept for your skills."
Keno shuddered as he remembered everything. He was in a metal like pod not to long ago, almost a million other pods similar were situated in some science research building. A row of women and men in lab coats waved as a bright blue light took up his vision. The memories of his past life slipping away, only the essential knowledge locked into his soul. After losing consciousness he woke up in a field of rolling hills dotted with beautiful flowers and colorful butterflies.
The area seemed other worldly and mystifying, almost as if he was back on Earth, a more older version of it. Like technology never did what it did.
"So who are you?" Keno asked, pushing off his knee and stretching his entire body. He wiggled his toes and did a small hop in the air, he felt amazing. It was like all stress and worries were vacant from his mind, coming to this world might of been a great choice.
"Uh, my name is Tikk an-"
Keno waved him off and asked again,
"Sorry let me rephrase that."
Keno looked deep into the hazel eyes of the brute, a unsettling feeling in his gaze.
"Are you AI or human."
His words cut fast and hard, delivering a blow to Tikk's confidence.
"Well boy,"
His Irish accent seem to fade with his smile and an uglier one took its place.
"There are no such things as npc's or AI in this game. You see, every insect, animal, mystical beast, and Magic user is a conscience person. Believe it or not, everyone has a role to play in this game."
Keno's eyes widened at the statement, his eyes drawn to the barrage of butterflies and bumblebees swooping about.
"Once someone determines they want to come to the game because of overpopulation back on Earth, they are randomly given a role as an Adventurer, Animal, Mystic beast, insect, or Enemy."
Tikk still without his accent, edged closer to Keno, a savage smile on his face.
"You got lucky kid, be glad you aint eating leftovers as a mut or running for your life as some beast."
Keno held up his hands to stop the towering man from getting any closer, he did not dare say a word.
"You know what kid, I'll remember your face and if I see you on World 34, I will make sure to introduce you to how this game really works."
Keno kept a straight face and stared back at his blood shot eyes,
"I will remember you too, and I'll make sure to introduce myself also."
Tikk smiled and patted Keno on the back, each impact almost knocking him over,
"Im just playing rookie, I won't piss my pants over a question like that, just pulling your leg!"
The obnoxiously loud Irish gibberish returning from wherever it died from.
"Just remember though, there are some people who will destroy you for a small comment like that, so be careful and become strong."
Keno was so confused that he smiled lightly to return the favor of not making him piss his pants. He only fired back because he did not want to come off as weak if he ever did see face with Tikk again.
"Thank you?"
Keno managed to survive his bombardment of back slaps and shrug off the immense pain he felt.
Tikk laughed with saliva flying everywhere before tapping Keno on the forehead,
"Good luck greenie."
The same unknown blue light consumed him and he was thrown in to pitch black nothingness.
