'Flawless'. The greatest game ever made. Run by the intelligent AI Nebula, the fully immersive virtual reality game replicates the five senses allowing the old, sick and disabled to feel like a normal person once again. During the year 20XX, news about the 99% immersion rate capsule was released to the public by Dragon Head corp, awakening the desires of many.
Anticipation rose throughout the years very little details about the game was known. Other than the fact that it would be a fantasy game not much was known. When the game was released 2 billion humans logged on to the game 'Flawless' within the first week. All kinds of companies invested into the game. The market was flourishing.
Professionals who predicted the the outcome were completely shocked because of how the numbers far exceeded their expectations. Of the 7 billion humans alive 2 billion bought and logged onto a single 'game'. It was astonishing. What made people even more speechless was the numbers kept rising!
Anyhow, the game 'Flawless' was set in the world of 'Luminate'. There were a total of 7 continents in the world of 'Luminate'. Most continents were dominated by wild monsters but there were numerous Empires and Kingdoms scattered across the seven continents ruled by the different races. Players were sent to the different Kingdoms and Empires and were given the freedom to do what they wanted.
Players would initially choose a starting {Tier 0} class during the character selection and every fifty levels a player would upgrade their class to {Tier 1} and another 50 for {Tier 2} and so on. In some rare cases players would obtain a hidden class or a hidden race through special quests and special items.
Once a player hit level 50 they would also awaken something the natives (NPCs) called Immortal spirits. An Immortal spirit would be the 'a soul which resides within all immortals (Players)'. Immortal spirits come in the form of spirits that appear behind users during fights. Depending on the spirit, additional abilities would be given such as [Beast Transformation] and exclusive skills could be unlocked. The Immortal spirit that shows up all depends on the players attributes such their personalities, bloodlines etc.
However, the greatest thing about this game was the groundbreaking technology used to make the NPCs as they were shown to feel and act the same way as normal humans, upping the realism of the game once more.
Back to the present, Winston Residence, 02:38am
After cooling down for a bit Arthur came to terms with the situation. He died and reincarnated. "Aaaaah! No matter how many times I say it, it just doesn't make any sense. Whatever, as long as I'm still alive I guess". Arthur was the first son of a rich English businessman named Steve Winston. He was the president of a multi billion dollar company that produced and sold VR capsules named 'Winston's tech'. Arthur's Grandfather created the company during his younger days. His mother was a property investor who made millions so he was quite well off.
Arthur had two younger siblings, Selena, his 23 old younger sister and Jake, his 17 year old younger brother. Arthur himself was considered to be the inheritor of the family business but he wouldn't be inheriting the business for not at least another hundred years. He faced no struggles throughout his school years and was seen as a charismatic and kind leader who everyone in the school looked up to, regardless of their age. He grew up with quite a lot of friends but none were as close to him as Jack Mctominay. Jack's father, Wilfred, owned a healthcare business and since Uther and Wilfred were close friends, Jack and Arthur naturally grew up being close too.
Back to the present Arthur thought about what he wanted. Was it money?Fame? While he didn't mind the fame and already had plenty of money, the true reason why he he loved 'Flawless' so much was the excitement. The thrill of battle, the satisfaction of defeating a strong monster, winning a great battle, he loved it! Arthur loved all of it. So as to increase the thrill Arthur decided. He would no longer take the same path he once tread upon. Knowing and expecting what's to come was not what he wanted. He seeked the unknown! Arthur's face was plastered with a huge grin and his azure eyes were filled with determination.
At that moment, the original course of the universe shattered and a new one with endless possibilities was born!
