Chapter 2 - A late Start

'Why would I want to be friends with you?' he thought to himself.

'Sigh… I still can't believe that the DDVR headset I won in that giveaway was stolen. If it wasn't I would be playing right now.' He thought to himself as he scrolled through the Dream Dive official website forums for the DDVR game that was released last week.

Dream Dive inc is one of the World's Biggest VR gaming companies along with Endless Dreams made by Ultra Meta and Deep Dive by Largecrowhard. However, Dream Dive is said to be the best as they focus solely on VR games and entertainment instead of trying to have a piece of every pie.

'But I should probably look on the bright side. They did give me a new one and I still got that half-angel race code. And being a week behind isn't a problem for me because I just want to play for fun.'

'Well, it could be worse. I might have had to actually buy one, and considering that I don't have that kind of money just lying around. Me winning one probably used up all of my luck and that's why it got stolen.' He thought In a bored tone.

'It has to be bad luck because that delivery driver just let some random guy sign and take my package just because I was out at the time. Like how he didn't even have the order code that they give you to prevent theft he was just loitering at the bottom of the goddam stairs.'

'Sigh… well let's not dwell on it anymore. The auction for the half-angel race code will be ending soon.' He thought about how much time is left before it ends.

'It's really nice that they let me sell it but it had to be sold in the Isekai Invasion Online auction house. Well, it's not like I had anywhere else I could sell it.' he thought to himself as he stretched his arms above his head.

'There are only a few minutes left now and I will be getting 375,000 dollars. It's insane how much these guys are willing to pay for this race code.

Well, I can somewhat understand it as it's like the Half-demon race but way better not only in base stats it also has higher starting fame of 700 as well as is the only playable race that can fly, unlike the Half-demon race that is born without wings.

And according to some of the information, I found this past week, all demons have wings.'

'Anyway, some players on the forums have asked why to sell such a strong race. Well, the answer is simple.

'1. I don't have that much money.

2. Having more money is never a bad thing.

3. It doesn't fit my ascetic.

4. Thanks to my unexpected week-long delay into the game I was able to think of the perfect starter build thanks to all the info from the players that started at launch.'

'My build will start with the Half-demon race even though it is basically hell mode but it fits my ascetic better.

That and I already designed my character on the Website. It's cool that they let you do that so you can have something to do while you wait for the console to arrive.'

'The second part of my build can only be found on the tutorial island, the magic trainer meta. This meta involves getting two specific skills.

At the start, you can only get up to three skills and the two I want are the mana circulation skill and the trainer's body. And finally, I will need the Adventurer Class.'

'The reason I want the Adventurer Class is because it can use any weapon and any skill and it gives two more skill slots, unlike other classes that only give you one at the start.

The downside is that all skills leveling efficiency will be reduced by 70% making skill leveling take much longer. That is why the class is called the jack of all trades and master of none class.'

'However, the Half-demon gets a bonus to training all skills by 30%, and the mana circulation skill gives a bonus to mental stat gain and magic skills by 40% and the trainer's body skill does the same but with the body stats and physical skills.

Which should negate the drawback. But since that is a meta that others use, I'll still be slower than them in skill levels.'

*beep beep* over on its charging bay the DDVR headset he got today just finished charging. He got up and took the headset to his head then lay down.

"Finally I've been waiting all week. Let's go to the other world." After that, he turned it on and entered the game.

When he turned on the helmet he found himself in a gray room. In front of him was a big transparent screen that glowed a light gray color and on the screen where there were many boxes, in each box was a game that he could buy and play.

some of the games where lit up these where the games he played at a VR cafe before. the most played is Robot brawl a VR game that lets you play as a robot.

With a thought the game he wanted to play appeared in front of him and then disappeared taking him to a different room with a mirror above the mirror it said.

Looking into the mirror he saw the character he made on his PC. It moved just like he did and Just in front of the mirror, there was some text saying.

(Select Character.)

(Customize Character.)

(Delete Character.)

'Its a little annoying that i can't play this game at the cafe place, but there stuff is a little out of date and the game can only be played on this new headset form Dream Dive .' he said to himself.

Players of this game start off with one character slot and they can get more by playing the game or with money to buy one which costs 50$.

He then looked at (Select Character.) and then everything went white for a second and the intro cutscene started.

'I know that my eyes can't actually get hurt by the sudden white light in here but it's still annoying.' he complained internally.
