I always had a certain unintential influence over people...it could be my natural demeanor or it could be the lessons from my dad but I took advantage of it, for what reason I don't know but it was instinctual. People want to be my friend because of a multitude of reasons so I play along with the charade. I have them as friends online and as I sat in my room with my computer I invited them to play with me in Element online and eventually join my guild.
Unsurprisingly they said yes because they think I will help them with their journey's. I didn't think I would ever do this but I filled my leadership role naturally as if it was second nature to me. All of my available "friends" who were fortunate enough to be able to get or will get a TR Pod were added in a a group chat to discuss what role they are in the guild (with me as the leader obviously). I let themselves sort It out as I do not have the patience to deal with them as I want.
I don't know what drives me so much to play this game but if I am playing it...I will dominate. I already quit school because I really have no need of the pointless drabble ordinary kids ingest. I try not to have ties to people as they only get in the way.
I walk back down to the basement to enter the TR Pod, I still can't wrap my mind around how the liquid is connected to the technology of the Stasis Pod but I try not to think about it too much. I take off my clothes so only my boxers are on and I go in.
There is a tutorial on how to use it before going into the game, I will familiarise myself as much as I can. I feel my brain and something else leave my body and into the cloud of the Server. I enter a white space stretching across an infinite void. I am given time before I hear a voice, the AI Nova.
"Welcome traveller to the tutorial, to start please state your name."
I thought about what I wanted to call myself and one thing came to mind.
"Zero"
"Name Successfull, please the following exercises"
As I was one of the few to have this now the name was not taken.
As I did the following exercises I knew this would impact my character so I pushed myself to the limit. Push ups, pull ups, squats, sprints, it tested everything physical about me.
When I was done the AI gave an IQ test but not a normal one, it introduces you to a set of math calculations that do not exist within the real world so it does not test you for the knowledge existing outside of this world but the knowledge you gained within it.
The last test was about a series of decisions that you have to make for your people if you were ruling over them. I'm guessing this tested how wise you are and what type of person you are.
"Tasks complete thank you for your time and congratulations for completing the tutorial"
"Your status will show up now"

I feel mentally drained so I leave the space and wake up back into the Stasis Pod.
Leaving the Pod and walking into the bathroom I feel as sense of direction I have to take regarding the game.
