Anatolia Character selection
Aio entered a space, looking around before hearing a small sound.
{Welcome to Anatolia Ascending, a VR MMORPG, please enter your gender and a name.}
A screen appeared before him as he blinks.
[Enter Name]
[Male] [Female] [Non-binary] [Genderfuild]
"Ah... Ummm ...." Aio thinks before placing a name in and tapping on the male selection.
{Please select one of the races given. You may add a few things of another race as you please, but your main race selection will be shown.}
Seven different races appeared before him as he stares. Demon, Elf, Fairy, Human, Beastman, Dragonborn, Angel. Aio stares before selecting the demon. Another screen pops up.
[Add another characteristic]
Thinking a bit, he pressed the add being shown a screen of different body parts of the other races. He looked through before adding the angel wings, making them black, and a halo.
{Design your character.}
A screen popped out as the male demon with wings and halo showed. Aio smiles as he brings to change the look to something he likes. The hair being white as snow, skin as dark gray with markings on the body, eyes red as blood, black horns and tail with white wings, halo as golden as the sun. Around 6 feet and 4 inches tall. Feeling proud, he pressed the next.
{Add clothes to your character. You better not be naked as soon as you play!}
Aio chuckles before adding clothes that suit his new character.
[Ready to play, Sorada?]
[Yes] [No]
Quickly pressing the yes, Aio's body disappeared in digital numbers.
A few short moments later, he opened his eyes having a blurry vision. Blinking a few times, he looked around to see a big enclosed area. 'Anati, the city of beginning!' He thought. He felt something on the back as he looked back, seeing the black wings. "Nice." He grins.
Sorada looked around noticing other people coming in, some being a normal races or have another races characteristic with their main race. 'No one seemed to pick demon, unless they went off.' he thought before running off to the wilds.
Sorada bought out a sword, beginning to fight the monsters within the wilds. Learning different tricks, learning different techniques.
[Name: Sorada
Title: Blessed One
Race: Demon
Level: 20]
"How ironic for the title. I'm a demon with angel characteristics." He chuckled.
[Platinum Token: 7,098]
"I should start doing quests now." He mumbled as he begins to head back to the city. He stretched as he headed over to a NPC, getting the quest before heading off and doing it.
"Hey!" A voice called out, making Sorada look towards it. A beastman from the wolf tribe came running up, red hair and light tanned skin with scars. "Your Sorada right?" He asked. "Yes.. why?" Sorada asked as he tilted his head.
"I wanna be your friend, what else? Also, I'm setting up a blacksmith shop! So I wanna create your weapons!" The wolf happily stated.
"Uhhh... Sure. I guess..." Sorada went into the menu, going to the friends. Seeing many requests as he blinks. A new request came in.
[Nobuji has friend requested you: Will you accept?]
[Yes] [No]
Sorada selected yes as a notification came up stating their friends now. "Awesome!!" Nobuji exclaimed with happiness. Sorada just made a pout face as he looked at his requests. "Why is they so many requests?" He muttered to himself.
"So you haven't looked at the ranking yet?" Nobuji asked as he was close, and hearing being heightened. Sorada looked at the wolf before going to the ranks immediately.
[Power
Race —
Familiars
Floors
Guilds
Couple]
Power being automatic on as he saw himself at the first rank. Going into race, demon, being first there as well. The others still being looked. "Ah. That'll most likely change over time." He bluntly mentioned. "Makes sense, however, you are the strongest in this game. I can even tell!" Nobuji smirked.
Sorada just stared at the wolf before looking away. "Well, I'll be going now. Still need to check some areas out and head to the next floor." He quickly side, walking away. "Find any metal or materials, send them to me!" Nobuji yelled out.
Sorada just waved as he walked.

Hamada Household
Aio happily eats the food that Aiko and her friends brought down from the birthday party. "Happy 16th birthday, Aio!" The girls hugged the younger. "Thanks!" Aio smiles happily.
Ever since Aiko brought home her friends from elementary school, their treated Aio like a human being. "You are heading to high school now right?" Aio asked as he tilted his head. "Yup! 2 months of summer vacation than we'll be first years in our selected school!" Aika happily stated.
"I'll be heading to Asterion Private High School since my parents want me to be connected to other powerful families." Chika explained. "Sister, aren't you heading there as well for a schoolarship?" Aio looked at Aiko. "Yeah, Chika's parents said they'll help pay for things that are needed." Aiko mentioned as Chika nods.
"Can't believe we'll be splitting up!!" Aika and Kimiko complained. "Hey! You two will be going to the same school as each other as well!" Aiko mentioned.
Aio laughs softly before remembering something. "Have you opened the game yet?" He asked the other girls. "No, we were waiting for Aiko so we all can join in." Aika stated.
"Ok then! When you enter the game, you'll be going into a character selection. The character selection will have a voice telling you what you can do. There are also, Seven races you can choose from." Aio continued. "There are also 4 gender selections; Male, Female, Non-binary and Genderfuild. As you make your character, you can add another races characteristics, but your main race is still the same." He explained.
The girls nods as they listened.
"I'll show you around in the game and bring you to the best locations to gain more experience points to level up and increase your power. Right now, we made it to Floor 4 in the last week." He continued as he drinks water. "Getting to the next floor is harder than raising your level, power is just as hard as well. Beta testers even confirmed that it is much difficult than the beta version of the game." He finished.
"But, didn't Sorada make it to the first rank in all the current ranking available? He keeps climbing up for the past week." Kimiko asked.
"Huh? I'm still in first rank?" Aio tilts his head.
The girls were silent before screaming out. "You're Sorada?!" Aio was surprised by their reactions. "Yes.... Reminds me how Nobuji, Chose45 and Katsuki acted when they meet me personally..." He mentioned with a sigh.
The girls laughed before forming a fist. "Let's get into the game!" They announced.
"Need to set up the hardware first. Maybe tomorrow." Aio mentioned.
"Yeah!" The girls cheered before Aika, Chika and Kimiko left home.
