As soon as the welcome sign flashed Liam found himself watching a cutscene of people going about their daily lives, beasts hunting each other, soldiers fighting against soldiers. It then panned into a particular battlefield where an old man with long greying hair and beard was holding up his staff and casting a spell. It started as a small spark but quickly grew in a large sphere of fire larger than the man's head but at least 5 times, he then proceeded to launch the huge fireball at the battlefield where there was all sorts of beasts and humanoids fighting to the death. The fireball landed in the middle of the monsters side and a huge explosion soon followed which wrought havoc on their side literally disintegrating the monsters to nothing.
Liam was awed by the stunning scene as he continued to watch as it showed different battles, one a gallant woman in cyan blue armour wielding a long sword cutting down enemy after enemy, an archer in red shooting down anything trying to flying over the defence line. Images of cavalry plowing through swathes of monsters was also shown. It was a brutal war depiction with many dieing on both sides.
Liam was speechless as the images finally stopped and he found himself in a pure white room with nothing in it, no even a door or window.

In front of Liam appeared a mirror image of himself. He looked average with nothing truly remarkable or memorable about him. He was about 5 foot 9 inches with short, slightly messy black hair and a slim build. Very little to no muscle could be seen only a slightly rounded stomach. Firstly Liam adjusted his build to make himself less chubby and in line with his own ideal look, he added some muscle tone and changed his hair colour to a golden yellow. He was trying to look like a character from his favourite anime.
Once he was happy with what he had done he heard another notification from the system.
[Please allocate a name]
"Strider"
Liam chose his name from a movie he loved watching, he has a fascination with the older movies and anime as they are cheaper to watch due to being extremely old and with people uninterested with anything from such a long time ago so Liam managed to grab a few a these in a bargain bin in one of his part time jobs a while ago. The system then blared again at this time.

Liam look at his stats page an contemplated on what stats he wants, he has to been careful as ill placed points could mess up his character, so he checked what each did before deciding.
STR is strength and affects how much physical damage you can dish out barehanded or with weapons, adding one point will give 2 attack power before weapon additions.
INT is intellect and affects how potent magic attacks are plus a slight increase to MP, adding one point will increases magic power by 2 and give 10 MP.
VIT is vitality and affects your defense and HP, adding one point will increase defense by 0.5 and give 20 HP.
DEX is dexterity and affects how well you can use a weapon in each hand plus a slight increase to attack power, adding one point increase 1 attack power and a 0.1% damage increase for offhand weapons. (Damage of off-handed weapons starts at 25% of original value)
AGI is agility and affects speed of character on foot with a slight defense increase, adding one point gives 0.1 defence and 0.5 movement speed.
SPR is spirit and affects healing potency and a slight MP increase, adding one point increase 2 healing potency and 10 MP.
As Liam was looking through the stats he decided to play as a melee attacker and wanted to use swords so he allocated his stats as such: STR- 10, INT- 1, VIT- 8, DEX- 1, AGI- 10, SPR- 1.
He left the values he thinks he won't need at 1 while increases his speed seems obvious to him as he wanted to play melee, of course some vitality is need in that case as well. His basic stats increased to:
ATP: 20-20
MAG: 2-2
DEF: 4 (Rounded up)
MV Speed: 104.5
Heal Potency: 10
Like this he should be able to have an easy start as a swordsman and level up quickly. Speaking of he notice the extra parts next to his level and wondered what it was. As he thought about it a description came up for him.
[A players level is based off his tier and the level they have reached within that tier. New players start a T0 or Tier 0 and will stay like this up till level 10. Up to this point the player can then to a Tier up quest to go up another Tier to gain even more power. The level will be read as T0:1 indicating that a player is currently Tier 0 and level 1 within that tier]
After reading the description, Liam nodded his head in understanding.
'That's slightly different to most games I've played before' As he thought this he double checked his stats before smiling and confirming that he was done.
