Alexander has been quite lucky these past few days; he unexpectedly won VIP trial access to "The Universe Rules" by buying a lottery ticket.
"The Universe Rules," as the first fully immersive virtual reality game in human history, with its ultra-realistic live graphics and immersive combat experience, has garnered widespread attention upon its release.
Today marks the official opening of "Universe Rules" to all human players, offering five thousand VIP spots. While five thousand may seem like a lot, given the current Earth population of 12 billion, these spots are indeed quite limited on a global scale.
Fortuitously, Alexander is one of the lucky few.
After bidding farewell to the installation staff, Alexander hurriedly closes the door and dashes to his room.
The high-tech gaming pod sits quietly in the room, and as Alexander approaches, the lid intelligently opens. Lying in the tech-laden chamber, the lid slowly closes, and Alexander, following the instructions, excitedly presses the start button on the helmet.
The next moment, several safety belts spring out from both sides, securely strapping in Alexander as the entire gaming pod begins to vibrate. A mechanical female voice echoes from all directions: "Launch pod ignition is in preparation, safety belts have been secured for the passenger."
"Eh? Why does the gaming pod need ignition? Is this some kind of satellite rocket launch pod?!" Alexander starts to panic. Yet the safety belts are too tight, and he can't break free, only managing to helplessly blink twice.
"A wonderful journey through the cosmos is about to begin; please make your final preparations, passenger," the voice continues.
"Three. Two."
"Wait! Isn't this supposed to be a game?? What's this cosmic journey nonsense??? And why has the countdown already started?!!" The vibrations growing more intense underneath him leave no time for Alexander to think.
As the final "One" is announced, a strong force pushes him back, and with a sound resembling a giant roar breaking through the roof, Alexander's world begins to distort as he breaks through the atmosphere and flies into the depths of space.
...
[Player race and identity information is being read]
[Read successful!]
[Name: Alexander (Lv.1)]
[Gender: Male]
[Race: Human]
[Status: Weakened]
A series of prompts awaken Alexander from his stupor. Looking around, he finds himself in an expanse of white emptiness. He knows this can't be a game; it's another world entirely.
The place is eerily strange, especially with the echo of notifications in his mind. Could he have been abducted by aliens? Or perhaps been injected with hallucinogens? Unlikely, since everything feels too real, not at all like a dream.
But if it were a dream, Alexander wouldn't want to have any regrets, even here.
With 5 minutes left until the "game officially begins," Alexander starts to explore the shop and character customization. The shop has many items, but they all require points to purchase, and Alexander's score in the bottom right corner shows zero.
Due to the time constraint, he doesn't look further and proceeds to character design.
This is the so-called character creation process.
Alexander tries it out and finds that a full-length mirror appears before him, allowing him to tweak his appearance to his liking.
If that's the case, why not?
Feeling a bit embarrassed but curious, Alexander boldly imagines a beautiful girl that fits his preferences perfectly. The chest size he imagines is an astonishing 36K.
[Gender cannot be changed.]
[Note: This is not an ordinary game but a universe that transcends reality, please do not be overly perverted!]
Alexander is mocked by a taunting system voice. He doesn't dwell on it and starts to adjust his appearance. Age, height, build, and other characteristics can be freely altered.
Strangely enough, one can even choose to have disabilities. You could become a paraplegic or even a ladyboy if you wished!
However, these changes require points - 300 points to amputate a limb, 500 points to remove a testicle.
Curious though he is, Alexander is no fool. He wouldn't do something so senseless.
Since he couldn't change his gender, driven by curiosity and a sense of mischief, Alexander decided to experiment.
He adjusted the size of his penile to such an exaggerated extent that they fell to the floor, necessitating wrapping them around his neck like a scarf twice over.
As expected, it wasn't long before he was mocked by a voice:
"Hey, hey, hey, just because someone called you a pervert, you really had to go all out towards becoming a super, invincible pervert?"
Being ridiculed by the system is quite absurd, isn't it?
Interestingly, apart from adjusting his own image, there was also an option for cross-species change, which required 99,999 points.
With not much time left, Alexander chose to retain his original appearance. However, he forgot something very important; he neglected to reset the size of his penile.
Soon, the system prompted: "Please note, you have made a change to your image, which will cost 5 points."
Curious, Alexander touched his "scarf" and asked: "Are you serious, system? Why only 5 points?"
The system replied: "The larger the deviation from the original body, the more points required. According to your original body condition, the points needed for this adjustment are completely standard."
"Heh, I like what you're saying," Alexander praised the honest system.
Since it was his first time entering the game, Alexander's points were at zero, so he didn't care much and promptly hit the 'confirm' button.
"Are you sure you want to use the image you've adjusted? Please ensure you have sufficient points, or you will revert to the initial image," the system's prompt sounded again.
With less than 8 seconds left until the game officially started, Alexander hurriedly urged: "Yes, yes, that one, no need to adjust anything, I'll stay with my original look."
5 seconds, 4 seconds...
"Sorry, you do not have enough points for the image adjustment, so your original appearance will be maintained."
The system's voice was still pleasant, but it soon stunned Alexander.
"Because you are a VIP player, this image adjustment is free."
"To match the size of a certain organ, your race has been changed at no cost."
1 second...
"Successful entry into the game, your race has been changed to Ogre."The mocking tone... echoed in Alexander's mind.
"Fuck!"
