*Huff*
*Huff*
Simon woke up drenched in his sweat and out of breath. He looked around confused, not understanding where he was at first.
'This nightmare again!'
This was at least the third time that Simon had the same dream. And they were so realistic that he sometimes really doubted if they really are just dreams.
'I still have a few hour.'
He thought after looking at the clock on the nightstand beside his bed. Simon rubbed his eyes then got out of his rickety bed. And looked around in his dilapidated home.
Even though it was only an old, one bedroom apartment, he was really happy to live here. Since he was an orphan, it was already a miracle that the landlady was kind to him and she gave him a discounted rent for the first few months.
*Katching*
The toaster woke him up from his reverie. He took the two pieces of toast and buttered them.
*Piiiiiii*
Just as he finished with the toast the tea brewer finished and started to beep loudly. He took of the stove, and poured the tea into his favorite mug with a ROG logo on it. And put the plate and the mug on the table.
"There is nothing better then a buttered toast with tea for the breakfast!"
Simon said while happily munching on his breakfast.
Someone would say that coffee is better for the morning. But tea is cheaper then coffee. Besides Simon is addicted to tea since the orphanage.
*Shhhh*
He washed the plate and the mug after breakfast. Because he learned, to clean up after himself, from the matron in the orphanage.
After he finished he went to the bathroom and stood in front of the sink. He opened the tap and washed his face with a handful of cold water. Feeling refreshed, he checked himself out in the mirror.
Maybe besides being orphan, the only particular thing about Simon was his look. He was just 24 years old so he was still in his prime. His body wasn't lanky neither masculine. He got just the right amount of muscles from the odd jobs he done in the last 5 years. His skin was smooth and white like milk. His eyes were like two shining light blue chrystal. However the most outstanding thing about him, was his hair with a silver-ish hue. While his hair was long enough to reach his shoulder, he usually ties it up. Probably his beauty could rival any superstar. But he didn't have time and chance to became a star.
Waking up from the few minutes long daydream, he grabbed his toothbrush then put toothpaste on it. And started to brush his teeth.
*Grrrrr*
After tooth brushing, comes mouth rinsing, then comes the most important part of the morning routine, the morning pee.
-x-X-x-
"What should I do now?"
Simon after being done with his morning routine was at loss as to what to do.
He usually goes to work at this time. But it was different now, because he asked for a leave in this month. So he doesn't have to go to work at least for a month.
"I hope it works out!"
Albert isn't an idiot who is just lazy to work. No, he is planning on playing with the newly released fully immersive mmorpg Reincarnation Of Gods, Rog for short.
Maybe that sounds like a thing that a lazy person would do. But Simon had two reasons, why he definitely need to play this game.
First, he heard from his co-workers, that you can make money with the game. And if you're lucky and find a good item, you can get millions! But it wasn't even the main reason.
The main reason maybe sounds stupid but it was his instinct. In his whole life Simon only trusted two things, himself and his instinct. In the past, his instinct have saved him many times. So he trusted it very much and when it went crazy after hearing about the game at first time, he knew that he had to try!
So he risked his whole life saving with a heavy heart. And he decided that he wouldn't work for a month and play without interruptions.
"What should I do? I still have more than an hour and a half."
The game only starts at 10am and the big hand pointed to 8 while the little hand only pointed to 21, on the wall clock.
So Simon decided to read the forum dedicated to the ROG. In case he founds something important.
He switched his old and painfully slow computer and logged into his account.
[Welcome back Kebab!]
"Somehow nobody used it! "
Smiled, feeling proud about his unique account name.
He clicked on the popular tag and started to read the entries.

"Maybe I should join a big guild too."
Simon wasn't actually too sure about going solo. Even though he didn't like playing just to be ordered around. But independent players without backing of big guilds are rarely make it big.
"Whatever I will think about it after playing the game."
[Guide to classes!]
[By: SomeNotOrdinaryGamer]
[Sadly we don't really know lot about the game beside the information which we got from the trailer.But for some reason we actually know lot about the game's class system. So I will write down here what we know already. As everyone knows there are more than a thousand classes and they are rank by rarity. Everyone starts with a common rank class. And later to get a more rare class you only need a little bit of luck. The rarity of the classes goes in order of common, uncommon, rare, epic, and legendary. And there are rumors about the rarest classes, the godly classes there are only 6 of them and they grant the powers god! But it's all just gossip so take it with a grain of salt!]
[Comments:
IAmUnlucky: I hope it's not a gacha!
ABigCow: The power of gods... that sounds Op!
IamGod: I am god!
Shhx: An uncommon class is good enough for me!
...]
"I hope I got lucky and somehow get something good!"
Simon prayed hoping to get lucky somehow. He looked up from the screen and look at the clock.
"I only have ten minutes left!"
He panicked a little, so he switched his computer off. Walked to the old beaten garderobe and opened it. His second hand clothes were neatly folded and placed into their place.
But Simon didn't care about his clothes now. Instead he took a shoe box off the top shelf and put it down on his nightstand.
He opened the box with great care. The inside of the box was cushioned with rags. And hidden by the drags was a futuristic looking headgear.
Simon lay down on his bed and grabbed the headgear and put it on his head.
"Okay let's start!"
He said while pressing the power button. The scene in fron of Simon changed and he found himself floating in a dark space. And a clock, which was counting down from 60.
