While Blake was sitting in the pod waiting for the game to begin, he noticed a numbing feeling wash over his body.
He started to lose all feeling in each of his limbs and then suddenly he saw the pod inject something into his each of his limbs.
Blake was scared out of his mind. He started throwing out every curse word he knew and tried the best he could to move his body.
He tried extremely hard but to no avail. His body just couldn't move no matter how hard he tried.
Blake started screaming for help but no one responded. He kept screaming for help until finally the pod lit up.
"System has determined cell and body structure of player Blake for his journey to the new world."
"Now terminating a transferring player"
Blake felt a needle pierce the back of his head and he blacked out.
Blake woke up in what seemed to be outer space.
"WHAT THE F*CK!" Blake screamed
"What type of bull sh*t is this." Blake said as he continued to rain curses.
After about 5 minutes he finally stopped and took in his surroundings.
He noticed a screen just ahead of him and the screen showed a few options.
"Welcome player Blake to the transfer zone. Player Blake may now chose his preferred fighting style."
Blake saw the screen showcased two options. One being physical prowess the other being magical prowess.
Blake remembered all of the fairy tales he heard of as a kid and almost instinctively called out for magical prowess, but he stopped himself by remembering all the time he put into conditioning his body.
He couldn't help but curse again. "F*ck! Why can't I just chose both!"
"System registering pick... System approves choice."
Blake couldn't help but look up and grin smugly when he heard that.
He started to calm down as well. He almost forgot that this is his new "life" and he should take this seriously.
"Player Blake may now chose starting stats. Player has a total of 15 points to distribute."
Strength - 1
Endurance - 1
Wisdom - 1
Agility - 1
Intelligence - 1
"Hmm... Since I'm not entirely sure what is best I should try to balance out my stats a little bit"
"Ah this should be good enough"
"Player stats have been distributed"
Strength - 5
Endurance - 3
Wisdom - 4
Agility - 4
Intelligence - 4
"Player may now chose starting location"
A map appeared on the screen which showed a map of the new world. On the map were 100 marks that he could chose from.
Blake studies the map for a while and he determined that he should go somewhere that had a water source, a forest, and maybe a mountain.
After looking through all of the options he finally found one that matched these requirements.
"Player has picked the abandoned town"
"F*ck" Blake instantly cursed, but calmed down after realizing that he may be able to get a better start with an abandoned area.
"Player may now chose starting equipment"
[mage gear] - a mage hat that increase mana by 5, a mage robe that increase mana regeneration by 50% out of combat, a mana potion, and a random magic weapon.
[combat gear] - Helmet that increases health by 10, body armor that increases DR (damage resistance) by 2, a stamina potion, and a random weapon.
[Special gear] - A random special weapon, a stamina potion, a health potion, and a mana potion.
'I'm not entirely sure what's strong in this game or not but I'm sure that the beginning gear is usually extremely weak.' Blake thought
"Well I guess It's best to boost my survivability, so I'll chose combat gear."
"Character created. Starting transfer now..."
"Transferring..."
"3...2...1... data transfer completed"
"Welcome to HOPE"
"May your journey prove to make humanity a staple in this new world"
Blake's body was moving at a speed so fast that his brain wasn't able to comprehend it causing him to see only blurry images.
After a few seconds his vision started to black out.
