A young man ran at full speed through the streets of the city, his arms firmly holding a bag with a small box as he dodged every pedestrian in front of him.
"I'm almost there, I'm almost home!"
The young man was saying to himself aloud, catching his breath without having the slightest intention of stopping for a second. His face clearly showed a lot of happiness, although in the eyes of the people around him on the street that was strange, but he didn't care about that.
The streets were crowded with people, some were going to their jobs, others were just shopping and in the video game stores. Many were standing in line waiting to get the last game on sale: Regulus-online.
The newest, biggest and most anticipated game of the last 6 years had finally appeared in video game stores an VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role Game Game) Where players could give free rein to their imagination, create unique objects, be who they wanted to be if your dream is to be the most powerful wizard in the whole universe or the most powerful swordsman of all, regulus-online allowed you, but those things were not easy either.
The world was like no other. With over 60 biomes and 2900 different locations in it, it quickly became one of the most anticipated things of the last few years, when a trailer was announced in 2014, from that moment on the video game world changed completely forever.
Thousands of brain studies were carried out, thousands of tests, many failures and ups and downs then finally the creator of the game succeeded, his happiness could not have been greater when he set foot in the world of Regulus-online and could not wait to put it on sale.
The immersion was 100%, the touch, taste, and smell were something unique and that was present in the game, as well as the feeling of receiving a blow since the same virtual reality system made the players feel when they were attacked. a virtual reality game very expected.
The young man finally arrived at his house where he opened the door almost immediately and then closed it with a key, his home was in darkness, silence reigned in that place. Living alone is certainly something he enjoyed, but not more than the cleanliness.
This one didn't even notice the stairs and the door to his room suddenly opened without losing time to start his new game, the technology he loved to use was in his bed. Waiting for him to welcome him to a new world where he could be free.
The clarity of his room was overshadowed when the curtains were drawn. he took off his shoes and jacket, lying on the bed and putting on his equipment, is ready to start his adventure. he smiled as he looked at the ceiling.
"Start program."
A sudden white light blinded his vision, transporting him to a white room where he was naked, but still his private parts were not present, only his face was present and his body was like a blank sheet of paper.
[Please choose your initial class and gender, to begin with, you are reminded that you can only create one character per person, choose wisely.]
The game's systematic voice was heard in the white room, asking him to create a character with which to begin his adventure and be welcomed into the world.
"j-just one character per person... gee, then let's not screw it up."
The young man said to himself, pressing his finger on the screen in front of him, looking at the available classes, which ranged from knight to thief, mage to a conjurer, healer to a hermit, and finally an extra class which had a number marked beside it.
"Legion...? What is that, a bug and why does it have a one on the side?"
The young man was confused, a class with a strange name and an unknown appearance, it was certainly something new, something that was not shown in the beta, but sounding good I couldn't help but choose it until a message appeared in front of him giving him a warning.
~{Attention "Legion" has been chosen, the experience obtained will be reduced by 75% and the attribute points obtained by each level gained will be increased by 100%, this class is unique and experimental. Are you sure you want to choose "Legion"?}~
"This... I feel like it's a bad idea, but if it's not, I'll take advantage of it."
The young man pressed the button choosing his class to "Legion" and again another ad appeared.
[Your final class is Legion, a creature hostile to all living things, this applies to players and NPCs in the game, the aggressive and destructive nature of your class makes you a natural enemy to all living things and for your bravery, you are given a unique achievement with a unique effect.]
At that moment a small window was shown in front of the young man giving him a rewarding achievement and something extra.
Achievement unlocked ~Defiance~
Your base resistances have permanently changed from 0 to 10%
[Please give your character a name to start walking the world of Regulus]
The young man momentarily thought about it and decided to go with his real name.
"Berto."
[....]
"Name accepted, welcome to Regulus, Berto and we hope you enjoy the world."
Again a blinding light came into the room, gobbling up everything and making it all disappear until nothing was left. Berto couldn't help but smile at that moment and close his eyes, waiting to start his adventure.
