Fwoooosh!
Strong wind flew through the sky, clearing the beautiful dusk clouds showing the mesmerising orange sky, two purple and red suns falling to the west. Bright Twinkling star, becoming the ornament of the sky.
Cling! Clang!
"Arghh..!"
While, right below the sky, in the Land of Warkinles. It was exactly opposite scene to the peaceful, dark stary sky.
Slash!
"Kughh...!"
Stab!
"Arghh..!"
The Land of Warkinles was in the middle of ferocious bloody war, where hot blood showered the land. Chopped arms, legs, heads and internal organ spoiled the ground. There screaming, screeching, shrieking and cries haunted the air.
Then, moving the attention toward the battlefield. Currently, five forces were clashing against each other. Four forces allied together, while the remaining one was left all alone. Making the outnumbered force completely dominated in the battlefield.
"Thee's head shall get slain by my glorious sword! You damn traitors! Haaa..!" the leader of outnumbered force, shouted in pure rage. He was wearing a full body-plate shiny dark armor, that was penetrated and cracked in many spots. A beautiful silver sword with a golden hilt was in his hand, soaked in its enemy blood. He had a red cape on behind his armor, his left arm cut off. He only had his right arm, barely able to hold his sword.
Slash!
"Gughh...!"
He immediately beheaded his enemy soldiers that charged toward him, with his sword. While, stepping onto the mountain of corpses of his and enemies fallen soldiers. He was panting hardly, he couldn't feel his legs, he couldn't feel his arm, he could now hear his own heartbeats, his vision turning blurry and blurrier by every second.
"Hahahaha! My my, I have too say. Emperor of War, You didn't disappoint me, You really are the greatest Emperor of History! Ba.. Hahaha." the supreme leader of the Four Allied Force laughed, when he saw the Emperor of War in his condition.
The Leaders of other three forces also laughing behind him. They all were armoured in full-plate armor, face covered in helm's.
"O! How the mighty Emperor has fallen. Though, I have to appauld for your bravery. You didn't surrender even when we outnumbered you by ten times. So, are you now willing to submit to us?" the Supreme Leader asked, with a glint of mockery in his speech.
"Haa...! Haa..! You damn traitors, I shall rather choose death, protecting my homeland. Then submit myself, to you lowly mongrels!" Emperor of War said, he clutched his fist.
Stab! Stab! Stab!
Splatter!
"Kugh...! Wha!?... Why?" When he rejected. Immediately, he was tabbed by three swords from behind his back. His blood splattered, blood leaking out from his mouth.
"We apologize, Your Majesty. But, If we all die, who will protect our fatherland. You have to die, for our fatherland, Today and now!" said one of the General of his army. The General had completed coldness in his eyes, he had to do it. He had to do this to protect his fatherland afterall.
"Hah..! I.. I never thought, My most loyal General could one day betray me. Haa..! I.. I shall rem—" but before he could complete his sentence. A sword slashed toward his neck. Slicing off his head immediately.
*Slash!
*Thud!
...
"Ahhhh!" a boy screamed, jumping off from his bed, throwing his quilt. He was wearing his blueish night dress. His entire face was soaked in his sweat. He breathed heavily, his heart pumping faster then ever.
"Ha..! Ha! This dream again? Now matter, How many time I have this dream, and that last beheading felt too real." the boy spoke, wiping his sweats around the face with his hand. He got up his bed.
Relaxing alittle, his head then glanced toward the window in his right. Ray of sunlight peaking in from the curtain covering the window.
"Shit! It's already 7 am! Damn it! Crown Online should have already been released half-hour ago! I have to go quickly, I don't want to stay in queue!" the boy said in realization, immediately taking off his night dress.
Crown Online, the first ever VR MMORPG game, with a 100% freedom to there role-avatar. A game where there are numerous classes to choose, numerous races later to join, variety of quests and story to follow or join in.
This game also had a 80% reality sensation, with complete dive in system in it. While, the most eye-catching point of this game. That caught the eyes of almost every gamers in the world was..
That the entire world was independent! The whole world system was confirmed by the Crown Company, the creator of this game. That not even the GM or World AI of the game, could control the world. Everything that will happen in the world, will be completely unexpected.
While, It was also guaranteed that there will be no bugs, viruses or cheats in the game. It was also confirmed by the World Entertainment Organisation (WEO).
Soon, wearing his causal dress of; Open Black Hoodie, White Shirt underneath, black tackpant with his regular shoe.
...
Getting downstairs, He was soon greeted by his mother. Who was sitting on a couch, an TV remote in her hand, watching the TV infront of her. She had a cigarette in her two finger, puffing it.
"Yo, Brat! You awake? Where ya going? If you don't go to school today, I will be breaking ya shitty little ass." his mother said, puffing her cigarette. Watching her son coming down stairs.
"Yeah, Sure sure. I will" She carried on a smirk, hearing her son half-ass answer, while waving goodbye to her son.
...
"Huff..! Ha..! Damn it, I never knew, this Game Station was this far." the boy complained, when he could see the Game Station. His hope of getting the new launched game, rising up.
But, That hope soon died out. When, he saw a huge queue infront of the Game Station.
"Yo!" when he suddenly heard a call from the crowd. Looking toward the call, he saw one of his friend there on the queue.
"Oh! Sup, Dave! Been two days since we met, how you been?" the boy said, walking toward his friend Dave.
"Haha, Yeah man. It's been two days, I had some shits to do, in home you know? So I couldn't come by. You here for the game? Come join my line." Dave offered laughing, he played with his blond hair. Making the boy give him a nod, before walking toward him.
"Don't mind if I do."
"Sure.. And.."
Soon, the two boys engaged themselves in there talks. When the line kept on moving on.
It was now 8:50 am. Finally, there turn has arrived!
"Good morning, Sir. What may you like to purchase?"
"I'd like to purchase Crown Online helmet." the boy spoke, taking out his wallet.
"Oh Great, Sir! That could be like $300."
"Sure, Mister. Here." then the boy said, happy he exactly had $300 from his pocket money. Soon, purchasing the helmet of Crown Online.
He walked out of the Station. Where meeting up with Dave, and bidding him farewells. The boy soon headed back home.
...
Opening the door, the very first thing he saw was his mother. She was standing infront of the gate.
"Oy! You damn shit! When are ya going to school!? Don't tell me, ya planning to bunk today's school too?"
"Chill hag, It is only for today. I promise, I will be going school tomorrow." when the boy said, trying to excuse himself. His mom, getting a tick on her forehead.
"You damn brat! Dare call me hag!" his mother said, jumping toward her son.
"Bleh..! Old hag! Hahaha." when the boy laughed, dodging the punch of his mother. When, he quickly dashed toward his room.
"Cheh! Calling his mother hag, What the fuck is wrong with this generation." watching her son, she said still carrying alittle smile.
When, she had alittle doubt, have she really turned into a old hag? She was sweet late forty you know?
So, she quickly dialed her phone. Calling one of her friends.
"Oh, Hello Lisha. What are you calling for?"
"Oy! Jake. Am I a hag?"
"Huh..? Did that brat Basil and you fight again?"
"Shut ya trap, dumb shit! And answer my question, Am I a hag?"
"Th.. This?"
...
Inside the room, Basil who had just bought his helmet. Unboxed the pack, soon taking out a helmet, there were four wires in its back: Red, Green, Blue and Yellow.
While, in the manual. It was told to join Red/Blue and Green/Yellow wires together. Then there were other instructions on how to use the Helmet.
The Helmet was grey it colour, while the size of the helmet was adjustable to its user head size.
"Hmm... It is 9:30 now. The game official server will be getting launched at 10:00 am. Maybe.. I should check some stuffs in wiki, in these remaining half-hour." Basil planned, before he moved toward his computer, opening it. He soon began surfing the web. Where, he opened the wiki of Crown Online.
There he saw many options, like; Item Grade, Quest Difficulty, Classes, Beginning Guide, Areas of Newbie Village, Reputation, Skills Ranking levels were some among the masses.
Basil deciding to open the Item Grade first. He clicked in it. When a ranking was popped inside his computer screen.

'Hmm, This grading system is alittle different from the games I have played before.' Basil thought, then began surfing the wiki. Soon, half-hour passing in a blink.
"Ugh...! Now, It is time. Huh?" speaking too himself, Basil smirked, moving toward his bed. He laid down on his back.
"Old Hag! I am going too play a new game, today! Don't disturb me, now! Okay?!" when Basil, informed his mother.
"Damn brat! I.." ignoring his mother shout, he put his helmet on.

Now, with the account created. Basil was brought into a white room; white wall, white tiles, white ceiling and white furniture's.
When, a holographic frame appeared infront of him.
[Player: Celestial Death will be transported to Newbie Village in 1 minutes. Please choose your race.]
[Beginners Race]
1. Human
2. Demon
3. Elf
4. Slime
Without much thinking, Basil selected [Human], even if it was the weakest race. This race was the most free one in the early phase of the game.
From what he had read on the wiki, If one choose Demon race, the strongest race out of this four. An [Demon] players can never walk near a human civilization.
If a, [Demon] players were to arrive any were near the human civilization, they will be attacked by soldiers. So, being a [Demon] in early phase of the game is nothing but a mere foolishness, because until anyone reaches Lvl: 50. Everyone, be it [Elf], [Slime] or Demon they can only enter the human cities.
