Million World Game 1 Entering The World

'You've been invited to a game; would you like to accept the invite?' The old words melted away and new ones appeared. Although, there still was dead silence.

What did it mean by invited to a game? Although, I'd always wanted to do something fun. I shouldn't shy away now that something fun has appeared. However, who knew if this was going to be fun at all in the end.

'Thank you for accepting. You'll now enter into the World of Mayhem Amus.e.m.e.nt Park. Because you've been invited to the game. A few special privileges await you. Would you like to accept these special privileges?' After I accepted the invite the words had morphed and taken on a warmer feeling to them.

Obviously, I would accept these special privileges, who didn't want to start a game with a leg up on everyone else.

'Very well the Player has accepted the special privileges. Please move onto the character creation screen. After that, you'll be gifted skills from the main system. Any abilities that you had from your previous world shall also be converted over into skills that can be used.

What did it mean by the previous world...

All of the sudden the word vanished, and I was confronted with a character creation screen that you'd see in any game. The avatar that was waiting in the area, was a perfect replica of what I looked like. That was a little strange. They had the mole underneath my eye all the way down to the scar that I had on my hand from being cut with a knife.

What was actually happening here?

'Please make your specification to the avatar as you see fit Player.' The words appeared before my eyes, yet again.

Pushing the sense of fear out of my mind, I decided that I would take the game words to heart and create my character. I'd always wanted to be a non-human character. I quickly begin to sort through specifications and adds on and change a number of things. However, I still make myself look like a humanoid character.

It didn't take me long to get the hang of the character to create options. In no time at all, I had finished creating my desired look. By the time I'm finished with the character creating, an icier version of myself appears. A woman with long silver hair, with two ivory horns gracefully coming out of her forehead. With a pair of golden snake eyes greets me. I'd also added some golden tattoos that I had found in one of the customization screens. To give her an ethereal feel.

I'd kept most of my body proportions finding that they worked fine with the feeling that I was going for. Satisfied with myself, I look for the save b.u.t.ton. Before, I could find it a screen appears before me.

'Do you wish to save these body configurations, in less the player finds a body changing item they will be stuck with this preset, is this body customized to your liking?' The text box read, and a save b.u.t.ton and a change b.u.t.ton were at the bottom.

Glancing towards the avatar I created I'm pleased. I select save.

'The player has created their desired body. Please wait as we transfer you to your body.' The words appear again. What did it mean by transfer to my body? I already had a body, didn't I?

Wait! I never actually started a game, I didn't remember this at all.

All of the sudden, I felt my consciousness being drawn towards a bright light. I could hear the soothing sound of music. Blinking my eyes slightly, I try to wiggle my toes and they respond. Slowly, the darkness shrouding my eyes vanishes and a white ceiling comes into view.

Blinking again, I find that there indeed is a white ceiling above my head. However, my room didn't have a white ceiling. Forcing my body to sit up, I look down and notice that I'm as naked as a newborn child. Just what was happening right now...

Turning my head slightly, I try to look for the normal surroundings of my room. As I move, I notice my hair it's silver, just like moonlight. Grasping at the long locks of my hair, I let it slip through my fingers, my eyes following every movement. Moving my hands down, I reach out and pinch my thigh to see if I was dreaming. A sharp tingle of pain shoots through my body. Letting me know that this is all too real.

What in the world was happening to me?

Looking around, I notice that there is a lone box behind me in this white room. As quickly as I could I crawl towards the box behind me. After a fraction of a second, I reach it. With shaking hands, I grab the lid of the box, I pry the top of the box open.

Opening it I find a couple of things within the box, there's a set of clothing, a backpack, a couple of trinkets and a video pad. After removing everything from the box, I look at it for a second. Trying to steady my raging nerves. Taking a couple deep breaths, I managed to sooth the jumbled nerves.

I decided that I should get a dress before I bother with the other stuff. Sliding everything on, I find that they've left me a pair of pants that had an alarming number of zippers on it. The shirt was a simple black crop top. After getting dressed I feel less stressed out. There was just something about being naked in a foreign place that was really off-putting.

Reaching out, I grab the video pad. After grabbing it the screen sparks to light. A man appears on the screen. He's got a simple looking suit on that's the color of ash and his hair is the color of gold. His face was average, although it stretches into a wide smile.

"h.e.l.lo! Welcome to the Million World Game. You've been invited to partic.i.p.ate in the game. You've been invited by another player named 'Devil.' Everything that you've found in the chest was a gift from him." The man said with an amicable smile on his face as if this was something good. But I don't even know someone named Devil, I figured that it was an alias anyways.

"However, since you've been invited we the administrators of the game have decided to impart to you a special gift. What might the special gift be? It's none other than a Demi-G.o.d cla.s.s skill!" He opened his hand and a glowing black card appeared from thin air. Burning black flames dance around the card as it floats in the air.

In the next couple of seconds, it began to float forwards. The card actually pa.s.sed through the video pad and appeared right in front of me. Tentatively, I reached out my hand, touching the black card, I sharply suck in a deep breathe. It was real!

"This card contacts a skill that would cause worlds to topple and people to kill like it was a free for all. Remember this is a gift from us the administrators. Only four other players have received this gift out of the hundred thousands of players that enter into our game! Now shall we get down to the basis of this game that you now find yourself within?" He questions as he leans forwards.

This man was a little over the top, I thought. "You've been moved from your current world into the Million World Game, MWG for short. Within this game, you're able to obtain abilities, magical items and use magic. Of course, it's not just limited to that, almost anything is possible within these worlds." He opened his hand I watched as fire appeared along with water and lighting.

"There are three important rules to remember. One complete all the task that is given to you by the administrators. Two always try to advance or you'll be killed because you are too weak. Three everything in this world goes, as long as you have power." His smile turned into a sly grin, making his picture as an upstanding person vanish.

"Please grow and kill your way to the top!" The man smiled, and the video screen went black. The video tablet slips from my hands. Making a clattering sound as it hits the floor. That barely registered in my mind.

This was for real, I'd really been moved to a different world. I shove my hands through my hair, my mind was struggling to comprehend what exactly was happening here. As quickly as the feeling had come it pa.s.sed just as fast. A sense of calm washed over my body, removing the negative emotions from my mind.

There wasn't any time to lollygag if what he had said was the truth. If I didn't advance I'd probably be killed if I was too weak. That was the same logic, I had come to know when I'd become an Orphan. Gathering my wits.

I look up, noticing that the card was still there floating in the air with black flames dancing around it. Sitting up straighter, I pluck the card from the air. The black flames of the card wrap around my wrist and begin to move up my arm. Until its completely enveloped my whole body. The card that was still in my hand began to melt into my body, slowly the black flames also vanished into my skin.

'Obtained, Hecate's Boon, would the player like to view the skill page?'
