Before he even got the chance to give a further thought about it, Sun Li Jun was drawn into a place shrouded in absolute darkness.
Yeah...he had closed his eyes, so it was already dark as it was. As to how he got the sensation of being drawn into another world was because of the gravity.
Before, he was lying in a game pod. But, right now, he was standing. Sun Li Jun was standing in a place shrouded in absolute darkness.
But, the darkness didn't take long to retreat. Just in the next second, a radiant blue window popped out of thin air right in front of him.
[Welcome to 'War Cry Online'.]
[ The player is now only one step away from entering the virtual world.]
[The player needs to go through the registration process and create an account.]
Just as a young female's voice finished saying these lines, some words began to appear on the radiant blue window in front of him.

Sun Li Jun reflexively extended his hand and tapped 'Yes'. In fact, he just wanna know if he could touch the window or not. And, his hand did touch it.
[ The player has accepted to create an account. ]
Another blue window popped up before Sun Li Jun right at the end of the voice.
___________________________
Please, place your right hand on the small window for five seconds.
__________________________
Original words on the first window had now changed. And, it was telling him to put his hand on the small window which had popped up just now.
'What is it? Is there a special way to create an account for this game?'
Sun Li Jun did as it instructed. After his right hand, the window instructed him to place the left one again.
Once he finished doing everything, the small window suddenly disappeared. The familiar voice of a young female from before rang out again. And, the words on the radiant blue window had changed as well.

'What the.... did the small window just now scan my fingerprints and get all the information of my ID card?'
Sun Li Jun was slightly taken aback because the window smoothly scanned his fingerprints when he was not even in the real world.
Despite his shock and doubts, Sun Li Jun reached out to tap 'Yes'.
It was then the murky background behind him suddenly turned bright. The absolute darkness was now replaced with blinding rays of sun light.
With his palm above his forehead, Sun Li Jun protected his eyes from the blinding light. Just in a couple of seconds, his eyes quickly adapted to the bright surrounding.
'Where am I? Is this fog? No, this looks more like...
clouds? '
"Another angel is descending to the realm of humans again. We're sad to say goodbye.
But, it's a good thing for you to reincarnate into a new life, so.... "
This pleasant voice of a female prompted Sun Li Jun to turn around and glance back. An other-wordly angel with blonde hair and silvery wings came into his sight.
Sun Li Jun couldn't see her entire face. The angel's eyes were hidden behind a silvery hood. Only her juicy red lips were exposed to his eyes.
'This must be an NPC. '
Sun Li Jun didn't care much about the angel's otherworldly appearance since he knew it was nothing more than an NPC. The only thing he took an interest in right now was that celestial crystal ball in the angel's hands.
The crystal ball had a beautiful purple hue. And, as the angel walked... no... as the angel flew closer and closer to him, the purple crystal turned even more dark and deep.
"The winter kingdom needs a crown prince for her people. According to the prophecy, any angel reincarnating as a human within a month from now on has a chance to be the potential prince.
Put your hand on this celestial crystal ball and it will decide if your have the great karma to be a crown prince of the winter kingdom. "
Sun Li Jun couldn't comprehend a single word this angel NPC was saying.
What winter kingdom? What crown prince?
Wasn't he supposed to choose a kingdom and a class as he wished and play 'War Cry Online' already.
It was then Sun Li Jun heard a mechanical beep followed by the familiar inarticulate voice as a blue window appeared out of thin air yet again.
[Welcome to 'War Cry Online.]
[The player is now ready to game. ]
[The player needs to choose his kingdom and class. ]
[ But, first, please let 'The heaven's magician prophet' check your destiny. ]
[If the player is lucky enough, you will get a chance to get the special class of Winter kingdom's crown prince. ]
[All crown princes of the other four kingdoms have been chosen. ]
[Only when a player has been chosen for this special class of 'Winter Kingdom's crown prince', all the other classes of this Kingdom will be unlocked for all the players. ]
'So, it's just like I'm giving a chance for a lucky draw? '
The angel NPC with silvery wings eventually approached him. She slightly extended the celestial crystal ball towards Sun Li Jun before saying.
"Please, put your dominant hand on this celestial ball. It will decide your destiny. If you possess the great karma to be a crown prince, this magical purple crystal will turn into that of a pure snowy hue. "
Without hesitating for another second, Sun Li Jun quickly put his right hand on it.
When he touched it, the crystal was already deep purple. But, in the next second, he could spot some changes in the color. But, the crystal didn't seem to be turning into a snowy hue or something.
Instead, the purple crystal ball grew darker and darker till it got a hue somewhat resembling dark gray.
However, it was not just the color changing. Sun Li Jun could almost see something moving inside the crystal ball. The more he focused his eyes on it, the more those things seemed like dark clouds to Sun Li Jun.
And, in the middle of those dark clouds, there were some black silhouettes moving. Some had the shapes of humans whilst the rest got those of monsters.
It was then Sun Li Jun heard an ear splitting screech in his head.
" Die!!! Die!!!! You evil !!! I wish you to die and get trapped in eternal hell !!! "
The shocked Sun Li Jun reflexively retreated his hand from the crystal ball.
'What the.....
what on earth is that screech just now?'
Sun Li Jun was yet to recover from his shock when he heard the angel saying.
"It seems that you also are not the right angel with the destiny of a crown prince.
Then, we shall say goodbye. It's time for you to descend to the realm of humans. "
"Wait... did you also hear that scream just now? "
Ah..... never mind. Why did he even bother to ask an NPC? Apparently, an NPC wouldn't respond to his questions that had nothing to do with her programmed dialogue.
"It seems that you also are not the right...."
The disappointed Sun Li Jun wordlessly listened to the angel repeating her dialogues again. After that, she turned around and eventually flew into the distance, gracefully flapping her silvery wings.
