*Dave's Point of View*
After a tireful day, we finally acquired the VR Helmets and went home.
Later that day, I had showered and changed into my pajamas and sat on my chair to start studying.
*Text tone*
A ring went on notifying me that I got a message. Hearing the sound of my phone ringing, I looked for it and found it placed on top of the table. I grabbed it and unlocked the phone. After unlocking the phone, I immediately went to the app and pressed the unread group chat.
[GROUP CHAT - Steven, Dave, Kanna]
[Kanna: So when are we going to play the game?]
[Steven: Will everyone be able to play today?]
[Dave: I think we should play it in the morning. I'm getting ready to study right now]
[Kanna: But, I want to play it now!]
[Dave: ...…]
[Steven: Should we play just a little bit then?]
[Dave: Don't just agree with her Steven. Aren't you both even tired from earlier?]
[Steven: I'm actually looking forward to playing the game with you guys, that's why I am still not tired]
[Kanna: Let's just play for an hour!]
[Kanna: Let's just play for an hour!]
[Kanna: Let's just play for an hour!]
[Kanna: Let's just play for an hour!]
[Kanna: Let's just play for an hour!]
…..
I turned off my phone and ignored it. But still, Kanna kept on pestering. And it went on for quite a while, even Steven joined the annoying bus just to be able to play. In the end, I couldn't resist.
I stood up and opened the window that was in front of me.
"STOP MESSAGING YOU UGLY KANNA!" I yelled, "Fine, just an hour and no more than that!"
*Bang*
The window opposite to mine opened and Kanna appeared.
"Really!? No take backs," said Kanna excitedly.
I sighed, "Yeah, yeah, sure… But only for an hour."
"COOL! I'll text Steven to get ready. See you in the game!" Kanna grinned.
*Bang*
Kanna closed her window. And I followed along. After closing the window I went to my closet and grabbed the box, opened it and saw the black VR Helmet. Grabbed it from the box and went back to my bed.
Behind the VR Helmet is a wired cable and I plugged the cable to turn it on. After a while, the VR Helmet shined blue, that indicates it is finally turned on and ready to be used. I laid down on my bed comfortably and wore it.
[Scanning User] an AI voiced out.
[Scanning complete… Playable games, Elder Tale]
"Synch up Elder Tale," I voiced out.
[Synching up Elder Tale. ]
After the AI had finished talking. My eyesight had blackened and I felt that my consciousness was fading. When I finally lost consciousness a blue icon appeared circling around. It was the loading icon. It went on for quite a while and finally the game's home screen appeared
[New player detected, commencing character creation]

*Steven's Point of View*
A woman appeared out of nowhere descending from the sky. She spoke out [Welcome otherworlder to the land of time and space. I am the Goddess of Creation.] She paused for a minute until she had finally touched the ground, [The land has been long contaminated by the evils of this world. I ask of you to defend it from evil doers and help us save the land of Demacia. May I ask what your name is?]
"Steven."
[Name taken already]
"Steven2"
[Name taken already]
Steven contemplated for a while… After 5 minutes…
"Steven3"
[Name taken already]
After 10 minutes… The Goddess' patience ran out and she yelled out to Steven
[Just pick out a name already! Stop wasting my time!]
"Ummm…" Steven hesitated for a second and then he continued, "XxXStevenXxX"
[Name available]
[Scanning body mechanics to create character… Scan complete] the Goddess said.
*Ping*
A blue hologram appeared with the model of myself.
[Seen in front of you is the power to be able to customize your character. But for best assimilation to the character, it is ideal to minimize character creation as close to your real self.] The Goddess said.
"I'm all okay with how I look." Steven replied.

Kanna's Point of View
[Welcome otherworlder. I am the Goddess of Creation.] She paused for a minute until she had finally touched the ground, [The land has been lo~] The Goddess dialogue got cut off.
"BORING! SKIP!" Kanna said impatiently while yawning.
The Goddess almost lost her sanity but she held on and continued speaking, [Listen here little girl, there's no skipping in creating your character.]
"Just skip the boring stuff and name me BullsEye already. I want to play the game" Kanna said to the Goddess.
[........] The Goddess was speechless.

*Dave's Point of View*
"Name me Unbreakable?" Dave said respectfully to the Goddess.
[Name available]
[Scanning body mechanics to create character… Scan complete] the Goddess said.
*Ping*
Dave got surprised when suddenly he saw a blue hologram appear in front of him.
[Seen in front of you is the power to be able to customize your character. But for best assimilation to the character, it is ideal to minimize character creation.] The Goddess said.
"What if I wanted to make myself much taller, add a little bit of fat, and maybe change some of my facial features? Would that affect the gameplay?" Dave asked.
[Well, it would…]
"The poster definitely said to live the new YOU" Dave emphasized the word, then continued speaking, "Then what was the purpose of advertising like that if we aren't able to customize ourselves the way we want to?"
[Listen, I also don't know! I'm just doing my job! So just shut up and play the game] The Goddess said angrily.
Dave shrugged and said in a tiny voice, "Yes mommy."

In the end, the Goddess' who were appointed to Dave, Steven, and Kanna were pretty exhausted. They all just wanted them to finish already with their character creation and head to the Tutorial Village.
