'I am your guardian. You can call me Godfather if that is OKAY with you.'
The cozy voice in the sky described himself instead of giving his name.
'Guardian, Godfather, are those your real names? I find them unbearable, though I don't remember much of my past. I am sorry, I didn't mean to disrespect you. I thought names were used for identification, so does it imply it's not a must to have a name?'
Cynthia was now confused about the new information that she was receiving. It became hard for her to process all the data in just three hours after waking up.
'Oh, silly.' The cozy voice in the sky chuckled.
'I have been called many names, but the ones I just gave you are appropriate for you. My name depends on who I am to you and all other names limit who I am. In other words, they can not completely describe my purpose to you.'
The cozy voice simply explained why he does not have a permanent name.
It was difficult for Cynthia to understand what he meant. My name depends on who I am to you? But all in all, she thought he was explaining the meaning of the guardian or godfather, 'Wow! You do have interesting names.'
'Time is up for you, see you next time when you decide to visit me.'
The voice then went mute leaving no trace of its existence, like it was not even there.
As Cynthia was wondering where her guardian or godfather was gone, she suddenly felt a vortex encompassing her, as she felt like she was moving in a reverse direction, but extremely fast. The eye could not capture. The more she traveled faster, the more she was slowly engulfed in darkness until the darkness reached her face. Everything went dark, Cynthia's iris enlarged, because she wanted to capture the whole scene with her eyes.
After this series of events, the hologram turned on in her mind. Before Cynthia could digest what had just happened, she heard a familiar voice ringing in her head, 'Welcome back Cipher, I hope you had an amazing time whichever place you traveled.'
Viveibra AI gave her warm welcoming remark, then continued, 'I will now run you through the tutorials. The intra-multi-dimension gaming system has a lot of features.'
'This virtual reality gaming system has four interfaces; online gaming, dimensional gaming, teleportation gaming and multiverse gaming. All the four interfaces complement each other. In one way or another they intersect.'
'With the online gaming interface, you get to choose the missions you enter, you can team up, build teams, strategize, skim, chat, dm, win missions, tournaments and have a leader board, so you can track your progress easily. You can recruit your own team members and train together. The more you win matches, the greater EXP, which means your experience points and improves your combat skills.' Viveibra AI explained everything carefully.
'Dimensional, teleportation and multiverse gaming. They all have one thing in common and that is the death match mode. At the start of the game, you are given only three lives. When you lose all your three lives, you will be dismissed from the game, and you will lose all your achievements and progress. That means all your advancement, including your avatar, will be lost. If you decide to start again, you will have to choose another avatar and, for second chances, the avatar has a choice, can deny the host if they choose so. This means it becomes difficult for you to gain a foothold in the gaming world again.'
The more Viveibra AI articulated, the more Cynthia got intrigued and wanted to start playing the game even before the tutorial ended and all the set-ups were completed.
' In the dimensional gaming interface, there you will meet or have to fight superpowers, gangsters, cartels, clans, triads, crime warlords, governments, regimes and many more of that kind in whichever dimension you find yourself in.'
Viveibra AI continued, unaware of Cynthia's enthusiasm, 'In Teleportation gaming, the interface has a death match mode. There you fight vampires, ghouls, the walking dead, demons, werewolves, aliens, dementors, monsters, beasts, different creatures and many more of a similar species.'
'And lastly but not least, in the Multiverse gaming interface, of course, it has the death mode. You will encounter dominions, immortals, celestial, gods and many more in the higher realm. This is the top and highest in this intra-multi-gaming virtual reality.'
'The rest, I leave it to you.' Viveibra finished her tutorial. Now it was up to Cynthia to decide which path she was going to take.
Cynthia scrolled through the display hologram, looking for what would catch her eyes, soon after she sees something interesting. The third eye social network, she pressed it on, and instantly the gaming system notification went on, 'Cipher logging into the Third eye website, profile name Cipher, area of expert (not known) level (one, beginner) rank (zero) combat skills (zero) EXP (zero) matches won ( nil) matches lost (nil) number of lives (three) Net worth ( zero) special powers (nil) leader board standing (bottom last).'
Cipher looked at her standing on the leader board, which was at the bottom, then went on to see who was at the top of the chart? At the top is Broadino, biograph: Level of expert (mega-skilled)
EXP (five million)
Combat skills ( one million)
Rank (one thousand five hundred)
Title (thrill slayer)
Number of lives (three)
Net worth ( eight hundred and thirty-seven millions US dollars)
Special powers (Illusion manipulation, spikes and lightening)
Matches lost ( none)
Matches won (five thousand).
Wow! This is impressive. It's a great way up there. I will climb up this ladder and become a top ranked player, with a net worth of one billion US dollars. Cipher thought deeply and made up her mind. While her mind was still stuck on the leader board, she received a DM in her mailbox.
She pressed it on to run her eyes over. It read, Hello Cipher, my name is Zao, would you like to join my team? I know you are new here. I can help you navigate yourself through the intra-multi-gaming voyage. Below is a link of my team on the website. If you are interested in climbing faster on the leader board, remember two is better than one.
