You Are Chosen

Alrealm ONLINE. This was the greatest and oldest game ever existed in Earth and dubbed as the Second World. In the records, this game was created around seventy years ago. Even such a long time had passed, there was no game that could beat this game in terms of popularity no matter how good the VRMMORPG games a manufacturer created.

Why would it be so?

Because even with tens of years, no one had ever yet reached the pinnacle of this game as it was still shrouded in mystery! To top it all, the creator or company of this game was currently still unknown even with the best efforts of the people trying to find them! It was like they were living in some unknown realm.

But they knew that the server of Alrealm definitely existed here in this world.

This game was convenient since you don't need an internet connection to play. All you just have to do was swing down your hand a bit and a transparent window will pop up, just like that! This game was so magical that even the brightest scientists the world could offer had yet to explain this phenomenon.

But of course, there were also theories about this. And one of those was it claimed that the Server of the Alrealm is deeply rooted in the world. And the creator used some formulas that even them could not comprehend causing this magical phenomenon. After all, even with the most advanced technology right now, one could only produce that transparent window by a device used specifically for it.

Because of this game, those who tried to compete with it went bankrupt. After all, each game they created cost billions of Als, the current currency of the earth. In order to cope with their losses, they decided to grit their teeth and invest inside the Alrealm. After all, it was quite a trend inside the game to earn money and it was way faster to earn there.

In fact, many people became billionaires in just a few months just by playing. And most of them were top players of the game.

So one would not even wonder how come this game was still popular up to this date. Unless a better game than this was released, the glory of the Alrealm will remain.

「Haha... I really am a failure.」

I looked up at the sky above me. Right now, I am on the rooftop, trying to feel the very whisper of the cold wind passing my skin.

I walked towards the edge of the rooftop, looking below... I felt my legs trembling because of the high altitude. Yeah, I have a phobia of heights.

It would be sounded odd for someone like me who was already passed his 30s. But it was real.

Although I have a fear of heights, this would not hinder me from doing this.

I am already tired... Tired of enduring this fucked-up society.

Reality is so cruel to me. I am just your normal office worker, yet suddenly I was accused as a rapist and was being hunted.

That woman... I just confessed to her and asked her to go out with me. I thought she was happy about it, but who would have thought that she will accuse me of sexual harassment?! And what's more, she added that I attempted to r-pe her!

To top it all, as if everyone was enchanted, they completely believed her and immediately filed a complaint! The police did not even try to interrogate me and just released a warrant of arrest.

Yeah, that's how fuck-up this society. Really, there's something wrong but who am I? I don't have the power nor guts to retaliate. I just wanted to live normally and marry...

Have twen—, no just twelve kids. I am not that diligent, you see.

But what a wicked woman! I am always a calm and collected person, but that woman really enraged me. I swear, if ever I am to be a ghost, I will haunt her for the rest of her life and curse her to be single forever!!

「Ha... That's enough thinking. I should end it now.」

I muttered to myself and smiled wryly. If anyone can see me, they will be enchanted. After all, I am handsome.

My mother said that so don't refute!

Mother, father... I will be on my way! Wait for me.

As I was about to turn my back, I blinding light appeared in front of me.

The void became gray and birds which were currently flying suddenly stopped in the air.

「What's going on?」

The time... stopped?

As I was in a confusion, a fairy-like mature lady with a glass appeared in front of me. Her red long hair swayed as she slowly descended. Her big breasts... Ah no, scratch that. I am an upright person. I should not think anything like that though I am still a virgin.

Yes, that's right. I am still a virgin. That's because I believe that you should only give your body when you're already married!

Welp, I guess I could not fool myself.

「Clance Semiarde, out of 6 billion potential candidates, we, of the Alrealm Council, decided to make you as the Master Sovereign of the Alrealm.」

「Huh? Master Sovereign of the Alrealm?」

What's this woman talking about? As I am also a gamer, and a hardcore at that, I also play Alrealm. In fact, I am already level 190. Ten levels to go before taking the Path of Sovereignty.

As far as I know, the highest title that ever achieved by the players was Sovereign.

What's with this Master Sovereign? A title above the Sovereign?

「You don't need to be so cautious, Mr. Clance. I am without malice coming here. I just wanted to tell you that you are chosen to be a Master Sovereign. Maybe in other games, you call it a Game Master.」

Game Master! I revealed an unusual surprised expression. But who could blame me? That's Game Master after all! In the world of Alrealm, there was no news about someone who was a GM.

「I agree!」

Such an offer came running towards me. Who am I to decline?

「Don't accept so easily. Oh well, even you decline, you are still forced to accept it.」

This fairy-like lady chuckled and added:

「The condition of ours in order to give you this title is first, you will live your life there, means that you cannot go back to this world unless you are required to do so. Second, whatever the quest, no matter what type of quest we will send to you, you have to complete it within the given time. Third, no one should ever learn about this of what we talked about. If ever one of these were to be broken, your punishment would be unimaginable so please do take note of that.」

I gulped a mouthful of saliva as I heard this. Although the conditions were not overboard, I still find myself feeling a chill.

I nodded in response to what she said.

「Then it's good. So you don't need to commit suicide anymore.」

「Huh? What suicide?」

「Ara, you are about to commit suicide because of your shitty life right?」

The word shitty being said by this pretty and matured fairy-like lady was a bit off... But...

「No... I am just here to see this place for the last time. I am planning to return to the faraway mountains to live with my parents there and hide.」

After all, I was being hunted. But seriously, why would this woman think I am going to commit suicide? To begin with, it already took my entire guts to climb the way up here!

「Arah, I am mistaken. Then my apologize. Oh, by the way, I am one of the of the three Gods of Alrealm, Tinasiena. Nice meeting you. Well then, shall we?」

Goddess Tinasiena... How pretty!

I nodded slightly in response.

And thus, this was the start of everything, leading the Alrealm ONLINE to be exciting and interesting.
