As Damien walks inside he is greeted by a massive foyer with a staircase in the center of the mansion as well as rooms and hallways stretching out on both sides. He sees Kai standing at the top of the staircase waiting on him.
"Sorry about going behind your back on that. If I told you you'd probably stop me. I know you have always hated using my families influence. " Kai said.
[ Don't worry about it. Thank you for helping my mom out just run stuff by me before you mess with my family or mines life ok. ] Damien said.
" Ya I will do that. " Kai says. " Well you ready to go I got some people over to adjust the pod to your body. We better hurry so you have all the time you need for character creation. If your the same as you were back then you always take forever with that part anyways. " Kai said.
Damien follows Kai toward his room. Kai then stops right outside his door and turns to Damien. " Your pod is in that room. " He said while pointing across the hall. " They are in their waiting to set you all up. I am going to go to my pod and make sure everything is in order. I will see you in the game. " Kai said as he enters his room.
As Damien enters the room he sees a huge machine about the size of C.A.T. scanner taking up the center of the room. When he walks up to it he can't help but notice the details and the look of how over the top they made the pod look with it's gold and white color scheme and how the inside of it is made up of what appears to be top of the line breathable fabrics and A/C that is providing a cool breeze I can feel while standing in front of it.
Cough* Chough* " Mr. Dark. " A man in his 30's says which makes Damien remember Kai said there were people in here to help him out with the set up process.
[ Oh yes sorry I got myself distracted with how tacky this thing looks. ] Damien says with a straight face.
"Tacky." The man thought. " This thing is worth $48,000 and he calls it tacky. " The man says internally.
[ Anyway are you the one who is supposed to hook me up to that thing? ] Damien said while gesturing towards the pod.
" Yes sir me and my associate over there will get everything handled for you. We just need some measurements and some time to adjust everything and the we will be out of your hair. " The man states.
[ Ok then. I am all yours lets get this over with. Just know I don't like being touched that much. ] Damien says in a accepting tone.
Forty-seven minutes past and Damien is all hooked up and ready to go. The clock that's inside the pod is on and counting down to 11am. When their is 2 minutes left the pod alarms go off.
[ Well I guess it's time to go in. ] Damien says to himself as he presses a button inside the pod which then causes the cover of the pod to descend putting Damien in pitch blackness before he starts to get tired and is put into a sleeplike state. This is when his conscious mind is brought into a bright white empty space.
" Hello! I'm Granzel and I am here to assist you with your character creation you poor lost soul. "
[ Lost soul what do you mean? ] Damien asks. That's when he looks down at his body a realizes he is just a mass of what looks like gas hovering around a blue energy source.
" Yes. You are a soul that has been set adrift. their seems to be a lot of you recently that I'm spread kind of thin right now. So lets get this started then. First things first lets get you name." Granzel said.
[ Oh ok my name is.] But right before Damien is about to say his name a window pops up that says.
... Beginners Message .....
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO ALL USERS TO NOT USE YOUR REAL NAMES IN THIS WORLD.
THIS IS A NEW START FOR EVERYONE SO BE WHO EVER YOU WISH TO BE.
FROM : Management
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Soul can I please get your name? " Ganzel asks with a smile on his face.
At this message Damien thinks about his past when he would game with his friends after school and his old gamers tag popped into his head.
Damien looks over at Granzel and takes breath before stating. [ Osiris my name is Osiris. ]
" Well it is nice to meet you Osiris. Now lets move on to which race would you prefer to be reborn as." Geanzel said
All of the sudden another window pops up with a list of races.
-Human-
-Elf-
-Orc-
-Dwarf-
Damien looks over the short list and thinks about his choices. He never liked picking a human in games. they are always the least specialized race. Orc was out because he doesn't like to play as a melee character. That only leaves Dwarf or Elf and the decision was obvious for Damien.
[ I would like to be an elf please. ] Damien said.
" Fantastic! Now what race of elf would you prefer? " Granzel asks.
At that time Damien sees another list of options to choose from.
-Wood Elf-
-High Elf-
-Dark Elf-
-Drow-
[ I wish to be a dark elf please. ] Damien announces to Granzel.
" Amazing. Now one last thing all you have to do is set your starting 10 stat points into your character sheet and adjust your looks a little and your all done. As an elf these are your base stats."

After Damien puts his stat points in and smiles. He already has an idea of what he wants to be in this game.

After he's is done with his stats he then goes to his looks. He keeps his height at 6'2, he keeps his hair the same length but makes it even darker. He makes his skin color more tan then his real skin which makes it look like a darker white ash color. He then changes his eye color to be a dark purple.
[ Ya I like the way that looks. ] Damien says to himself.
He then looks up to see Granzel reading a book in what looks like a language Damien doesn't recognize.
" Oh are you done finally. That took you a while. " Granzel said while closing his book.
[ A while I wasn't doing it that long was I. ] Damien looks at the countdown that is to his left and notices there is only a minute left till 12pm. [ Kai's right I always take forever on this part. ] Damien thinks to himself when all of the sudden he hears Granzel speak.
" Well then young Osiris I shall wish you luck on you journey. Now go! " Granzel shouts in excitement as a big gate appears out of nowhere and starts to open.
As Damien starts to walk through the gate he hear Granzel start to shout.
Go rule and conquer Osiris. Go and make a legend. But most importantly go and be the person you wish to be. I wish you the best in your journey to conquer the vast world of Vanagraim! Granzel shouts to the heavens.
As Damien or Osiris now that he is in the game world fades away into the gate and vanishes Granzel is left alone. " I feel like that kid is going to do some amazing things in this world. I wonder what you would think of him father. Granzel says as he looks up towards the white empty space of this realm and the disappears.
