Chapter 1 - What happen to the new event???

"la la la~" Alyn hums. She was preparing some snacks in the kitchen... well it's actually just some chips and coffee but that still counts right? She is in a good mood since the new event for the game she's been playing for about 5 months now is starting soon.

She's been looking forward to this event for the longest time since there will be incredible drops that are to die for. The game only started as a way to pass time but it soon becomes an addiction to Alyn, she searches everything about it, absorbing every single content about the game from theories to fan arts.

She grabs the bowl and her coffee and happily makes her way to her room. It's a bit messy, but the place she uses to play the game is clean enough to pull an all-nighter so it's fine. She logs into the game and stares at the screen. There's still a bit of time for the event to start so she enjoys her chips and texts her friends.

"The new event is going to start!!! omg i'm so excited"

"lololol I'm so ready to pull an all-nighter"

"If y'all don't hear from me for a while it's probably because I'm busy hoarding all the drops muahahhahaha"

She laughs reading her friend's response. But without her knowledge, the game screen turns blank white. The glow was so bright that it finally caught her attention. She looks up from her phone and shut her eyes close immediately due to the light. It takes some time to adjust to the brightness until she can finally open her eyes fully.

"eh is the event starting already? why is it so bright? a cutscene maybe?" Alyn observes the screen in front of her, confused about what happened.

---*szhp*---

Everything turns pitch black.

Alyn body falls and she hit the ground. Luckily, she was able to save her head from hitting the floor and sacrifice her elbow instead. She grunt enduring the pain. Alyn then look around her only to realise she's not in her room anymore.

The place she's in is...dark. Her eyes had only just adjusted to the dark before the whole place turn bright white witch blinded her eyes. And then it turns to red, and blue, yellow, pink, green, colours flashing around the room. The scene looks like she just won some sort of game show.

The room continue to flashes with lots of colours for a couple of seconds and finally stop to white. But the white this time wasn't glowing so it's more bearable to look at.

Alyn who have just experience the most colourful 10 seconds of her life finally calm down. She stand up and observe the room she's in. First, it's clearly not her room since her room is messy and this room is empty...Almost empty, There's a box thingy at the end of the room which camouflage with the white wall.

Alyn can only do the only logical thing to do in this situation, walk toward the mysterious box. Once she have arrive in front of the box, a blue hologram pop up on top of the box.

The hologram first took a shape of a tall woman in suit, which Alyn was very shock at. The hologram notice Alyn response and immediately took another form of a small tiger cub. A cat would probably be better but it still managed to calmed Alyn down. A woman suddenly pop up in a suit just make it look like she was held captive in some sort of high tech building which is a big red flag for Alyn. At least a tiger cub is cute to look at... if it doesn't bite of course.

"Welcome" The tiger cub said. Alyn took back everything she said, a women in suit is definitely better than a talking tiger cub.

"hi?" Alyn finally open her mouth, she's still processing the whole situation.

"..."

".....oh! This must be the new event right!!?" Alyn eyes shine, it's the only explanation she can think about.

"what, no that's not it" the tiger cub look at Alyn face strangely.

"eh?? what else can it be?"

"Seriously?? you just somehow teleported here from your room, had colours flashed in front of your eyes, a weird hologram suddenly pop up from a box and you still think this is the event?!!" The tiger cub said furiously, but with that tiny body it look more cute rather than scary.

"So this is not the game?" Alyn tilt her head confusingly.

"no no this is still the game, but it's not the event" said the tiger cub.

The tiger cub glare at Alyn, who was still confused. It took a deep breath before opening it's mouth once again,

"Ok so....you're dead."

Alyn who just now was waiting for an explanation calmly exploded. "IM WHAT?!"

The sudden scream make the tiger cub hissed and it continue to explain the situation,

"So you saw a bright screen before you came here, is that correct?"

"..yes..."

"Yea they were an electric shortage and your computer blow up....so you're totally dead" The cub explained.

"...but it doesn't hurt??"

"ah yes that's because in your final moments you were suck into the game and now you're basically in the login screen, literally." The cub sigh.

Somehow the whole dying part flew above Alyn head, "SO IM IN THE GAME NOW???" She exclaimed.

"yes, I mean it's kinda our fault your computer blow up in the first place so take this as an apology ok?"

Alyn ask the question she's been wondering the whole time, "our? who are you guys? the game developers??"

The cub realize that it had slipped it's tounge and quickly cover it up, "That I cannot tell, well it's time for you to make your account, right this way please." The box that hold the hologram move on its own to the center of the room followed by Alyn.

the cub press a hologram button and 5 pillars arise from the ground. Inside of each pillars there's a weapon, A sword, A bow, A polearm, A book and A greatsword.

Alyn gaps at the sight,

'woah... this is just like the start to Greathero where you choose your weapon!!'

"Choose your weapon please." The cub is getting more tired at handling Alyn and just wishes for all of this to finish already.

'....in my previous account I choose the Sword, I already got use to the attacks style so it's probably the best'

For someone like Alyn, she like to go head first into battle with a sword in every game she play. Just Slash everything that's in your way and you won't worry about strategies!

but there's one thing Alyn is forgetting....she's the one in the game now, and she know nothing about welding a real sword.

Alyn made her way to the pillars that contains the sword, "I choose this one" She said staring back at the cub.

The cub stare back at her with a face that said 'seriously? can you even fight with that thing?'. It sigh before pressing a button again which open up the pillar containing the sword.

"it won't effect your gameplay anyway since your not a character so it doesn't matter" the cub mumble to itself.

the pillar open up and the sword drop into Alyn hands. She start to swing it around happily.

Once Alyn have chosen her weapon, all the pillar start to disappear back into the ground. Then, 3 screen pop up Infront of Alyn.

"Now it's time to choose your skills" the cub said.

'skills? I don't remember this at the begining of Greathero...you usually get this way into the actual game'

the cub notice how Alyn is still confused on why she have to choose a skill, "It's an apology for killing you so you can have a skill from the very beginning" it said.

'Hah! getting killed have it perks too lmao' Alyn grin widely.

she start too read the things written on the screen, beginner pack.... mediocre pack....

"oh you already played the game before right? choose the mediocre one it's the best for you" The cub said.

Alyn ignore the cub and keep reading till she reach the last screen,....VIP pack????

Alyn turn her head to look at the cub and point at the said screen demanding an explanation.

"oh? you got to pay for that one" the cub answered.

Alyn frown, she then fall to the ground "Oh so cruel!! I'm already dead at such a young age....how could you possibly make me accept a mediocre pack as an apology?!" Alyn whimper with fake tears.

the cub didn't buy her act at all, but still she's kinda right about that.... "fine you can have it, let's get this over with" it sigh.

Alyn jump up from the floor, she tap on the VIP pack screen happily and watch as it absorb into her body. A notification pop up in her ear,

[VIP pack acquired]

it startle Alyn at first but seeing how she have died and got suck into a game, nothing can surprise her anymore. The other 2 screen disappeared into thin air and a portal show up.

"Now enter the protal to begin your magical journey!" the cub said happily, it was glad everything is coming to and end and that he can rest soon.

"hmm kk~" Alyn jump into the protal without any second thought.

'who would have thought dying would be this fun!! now this is a great fresh start to a wonderful journey, bye bye old life~~'
