The sun started rising as the sky brightened a beautiful orange.
- Ring!
- Ring!
- Ring!
An alarm resounded out through the room, where a beautiful young man was sleeping.
He was sleeping, stomach down, without a blanket, his clothes were wrinkled and there was a heavy snow creature laying on his back.
Drake started moving before he noticed something heavy on him, "Uugh...Hydra get your bitch ass off me..."
Hydra just slowly lifted his head before getting off his back and going back to sleep.
"Bitch ass..." Drake groaned as he stood up.
"Why are my clothes still on?" Drake asked as he started rubbing his face when he noticed he was wearing yesterday's clothes.
He took them off and entered the bathroom.
He looked at his reflection and saw his lean yet delicate body, his bed hair which looked perfect, and some fur on his face, and he was currently naked so there was a massive sleeping dragon in-between his legs. Looking at his reflection he wiped the fur out of his face and entered the shower.
Drake took a cold shower, and brushed his teeth, and did his hair, which was styled like a Korean mullet.
Shortly after he exited the bathroom and opened his wardrobe. He grabbed some tech wear pants, a tech wear jacket, and a tech wear cloak, and of course some silk underwear.
Then he took out his phone and looked at the time.
[10:36 AM]
Drake nodded and exited the room with Hydra.
His family was gone, leaving him and hydra alone. Then of course there are the maids who take care of the house.
His siblings are at school and his parents are at work.
Drake went towards the kitchen and poured some dog food for Hydra and some orange juice for him as he doesn't eat in the morning.
Two cameras pointed towards Hydra and him but he was used to it at this point.
There were over a hundred cameras all over the house, except in his room as he drew the line there.
Besides, it was a very basic reason, he was alone in a house full of strangers. So his parents checked the camera regularly to make sure everything was okay. Even though the cameras are there for him it's more to make sure everyone else is okay, from him.
Then there are his bodyguards who are ready to protect him at any time.
It worked both ways per se, like the chicken and the egg. Make sure he is okay and make sure everyone else is okay, from him.
Drake left the kitchen and entered the living room and turned on the tv, as he started watching the news which only talked about one thing; [Fate Online]
Soon only an hour remained until the servers opened.
People became more and more excited.
A group of servants came in as they finished cleaning the front yard.
"Young Master." They all bowed respectfully and continued their duties.
Drake gave them a welcoming smile before changing the format of the tv, as he started streaming a Livestream of his favorite streamer.
The screen showed a very beautiful gentle-looking woman talking to her viewers. While the countdown of [Fate Online] was currently shown on the corner on the top right screen.
"Only one hour!" the beautiful woman gave a beaming smile, there was a large font on the bottom left of the screen that showed; [Phoenix] [Viewers: 160,738]
Phoenix was her stream name, she was very popular in the streaming community.
She talked to her viewers while Drake listened to her calming gentle voice with his eyes closed.
30 Minutes later…
"Only 30 minutes!" Phoenix's voice echoed through his ears.
10 minutes later…
"20 Minutes!"
15 Minutes later…
"Only 5 Minutes! I'm logging in!"
Once he heard those words, Drake opened his eyes as he shut off the tv and went straight to his room, and took out his helmet from the wardrobe.
There was only the helmet as there were no more cords, as it only needed an internet connection to work.
Drake laid on his bed and put the helmet on his head.
[Connecting...]
Within a second everything went blank.
In the next moment, everything became white.
[Welcome User!]
Drake heard the voice but ignored it and went to the game section. The very top in the number one spot was [Fate Online]
He clicked it with his finger.
[Fate Online - 99$]
He didn't even flinch and pressed the word buy.
Drake filled out the information for his card information.
Then the purchase was complete, within an instant.
[Play]
Drake pressed play as his vision turned black.
He appeared in a void where a countdown was shown in front of him.
[00:10]
[00:05]
[00:01]
[Servers opened!]
Drake suddenly appeared in a forest with beautiful green trees and a crystal blue lake, as there was a small table next to him.
There were only two seats, one was already taken by a very gorgeous woman. She was dressed in white robes with a red and black outlining, she had her black hair laid down and tied back making her appearance even more enchanting.
The woman was very warm and gentle, she watched Drake with curiosity, as she sipped some tea.
Drake walked towards the open chair before looking at the divine goddess, "May I sit?"
To which she gave him a kind smile and nodded.
"Give me a name you would like to choose" her voice was divine and enchanting.
"Echo" Drake responded the same with care.
The words [Echo] appeared above his head.
"Good name, now please choose your class." She said as she looked at the lake before turning to him.
"Can you show me the classes?"
To which she gave slight laughter which sounded like music from the heavens.
She swiped her hand and a screen appeared before him as he looked at the classes while she patiently waited.
"Assassin…" Drake finally spoke with a smile.
"Good, now allocate your stat points wisely."
Drake nodded and a blue screen appeared in front of him.
He thought for a bit before turning to her, "Can you see the screen?"
To which she nodded her head with a smile, "Yes but no one else can see it unless you willingly show them if it's what you're asking."
"Okay" Drake said with a smile as his eyes remained light blue.

"These are your stats, every class has a special stat yours is Stealth."
Drake nodded and started allocating points instantly without giving a single thought, instantly shocking the lady.
"Done." Drake said as he looked at her shocked face with amusement, as his eyes flashed a light pink before turning to normal.
"Are you sure?" She asked gently like a caring wife.
"Yes, thank you for your concern."

Drake nodded pleased with his decision.
"Is everything ready?" Drake asked.
The goddess looked at his stats with a smile, "Yes."
She looked at Drake with a kind smile, "Good Luck"
- Tap!
She tapped the table and the figure of Drake became more and more transparent until he was completely gone from the lake.
The women continued to stare at the chair where Drake sat with an interested gaze.
Then a black portal suddenly appeared a couple of feet from her.
The woman saw a handsome youth exiting the portal.
"Amaterasu." The handsome man called out.
"Tsukuyomi." Amaterasu simply looked at the man before her with a calm smile.
"How was he?" Tsukuyomi asked with a smile on his face.
"He was... interesting, I could tell he wanted to have some fun to mess with me but he chose not to. So he has manners and intelligence." Amaterasu said as a grin unknowingly appeared on her face.
"It's rare to see you compliment someone, besides he's an extremely brilliant individual."
"Mhm, I can tell. He's a very dangerous one." She said as she stood up and headed towards the portal.
"Dangerous indeed." Tsukuyomi said as he followed her as they both disappeared into the portal.
