Ten hours before the game 'Rebirth Online' is released, everyone on earth was extremely hyped for the first ever full-dive virtual reality game. They all started up their VR Headgear, only Bai Qing Qing had a gaming cabin.
When <>Destiny<> announced that they were going to be releasing 'Rebirth Online' in two years, one the day after Bai Qing Qing's twentieth birthday, which is on June 21st, 2070, but no one thought that it was going to be successful and thus never invested in their shares. Only the Bai family had done so, because <>Destiny<> was extremely desperate, they sold twenty percent of their shares to the head of the Bai family, Bai He.
And thirty percent to the eldest child, Bai Qing Qing. She had used her own money at that time to buy the shares, it cost her almost all of her savings, as she had just opened her jewelry store and was strapped on cash.
After another year, they had started their Beta testing. And when the Beta testing period was over, the world exploded with excitement. The beta players had recordings of the game, and everyone saw how realistic and real the game was. "It was just like I went into another world! Everything here is extremely realistic, the NPC's of the game will have personalities and are just like the players. There is no lag within the game, and they have loose rules. There are only two rules within the game, no rape, and no mentality breaking torture." One of the beta testers said.
"That game, no, that world, 'Rebirth Online' is perhaps the best and most realistic game I have ever played in my life! Although I didn't have enough money to buy a diamond tier VR headset, I did get a Gold tier one. The difference between them was huge! I had a friend who was nice enough to buy me a diamond tier headset after I had started beta testing for a week, if the gold tier headset was already realistic enough, the diamond tier would almost be as realistic as real life! Everything I touch and sense felt extremely real." Another one of the testers said.
An outrageous thing one of the testers said was that they are 'reborn', into the game, they start their journey as a baby, meaning they have to grow up before they can actually get into the gaming part, and they can play the game as if everything around them was real. And if they die at all, the game will delete the character that was made and logs you out forcefully.
The time conversion rate is one hour in real life is four hours in-game, there were testers that had completely changed, and they had told all of their experiences to the media and the internet exploded. Some people wanted to live another life and ditch their lives in the real world, others wanted to prolong their already almost dead body, and others just wanted to experience the so-called "game" called Rebirth Online.
After the videos of the game were released into the world, everyone immediately went into panic mode, wanted a slice of the pie, 'Rebirth Online'. However, the company <>Destiny<> Refused to sell any more shares, and so only the Bai family had the shares.
Everyone regretted not buying the shares of <>Destiny<> a year ago, they all thought 'even if it was just five percent, I would be part of the richest people in the world. But too bad, they can only sigh in regret.
Right now, only VR headsets are on the market, <>Destiny<> and the Bai family decided that they would only sell gaming cabins after the first update. The tiers went like this, Basic --> Iron --> Silver --> Gold --> Diamond. VR headsets only had a maximum of ninety percent synchronization rate. From basic tier headsets, which only have a synchronization rate of seventy percent, there is a five percent increase in synchronization rate.
But don't undermine that five percent synchronization rate, even a one percent increase can increase the user's senses by ten percent. So imagine a one hundred percent synchronization rate.
Bai Qing Qing was in her room, and she controlled the blood pool that contained her bloodline and started assimilating it. Although the blood pool containing the ancient primordial phoenix bloodline had the most compatibility with her body, It still took an hour to completely assimilate it, and right after she finished, she took out the Asura Battle Goddess's bloodline and started assimilating it.
This time, it had taken her five hours to completely assimilate the Asura Battle Goddess's bloodline. Bai Qing Qing took in a deep breath and let it out, "Wow, the blood pool's containing the Asura Battle Goddess's bloodline is amazing! My senses increased almost ten times and I can feel my blood constantly taking in the surrounding Qi in the air and automatically dumping them into my dantian. This is basically auto-cultivating!"
Then the horrendous stench hit her nose. The impurities that were leftover in her body had all been expelled and her body had developed an immunity to impurities so that any impurities that get in her system will be dissolved by her spiritual qi.
"Ewwwww, even though I already expected the smell, I never thought that they were this foul! I need to take a shower right now!" Bai Qing Qing then stumbled into her bathroom and started taking a shower.
After finishing, she got into her gaming cabin and the S-ranked serum that was attached to the cabin started filling it up. When the Serum had filled the entire cabin, Bai Qing Qing felt as if she had returned to her mother's womb, the nice warm feeling that she hadn't felt in a long time.
She opened her eyes to see a world of white, just like when she was in our lovely goddess's world. A system prompt suddenly appeared in front of her.
[Player has been scanned, determined to be a new player. Would you like to create an account?]
<>*Warning, only one account can be made.*<>
"Create a new account." Replied Bai Qing Qing.
<> Please select the name of your avatar. <>
Bai Qing Qing thought hard on this, she wanted to use a good name, and not just any random name because one's name is their identity, and if they don't take their name seriously, they don't take their life seriously.
"Nirvana" <>Player name has already been selected, please choose another name<>
"What? How quickly do these people even go through the character creation? Even a simple name like nirvana is taken!" Bai Qing Qing pouted, not that anyone can see her pout.
*Ding*
"Nirvana Flames" <>Player name 'Nirvana Flames' have been selected<>
*Ding*
<>The Goddess of Rebirth has taken an interest in you<>
*Ding*
<>The God of Death has taken an interest in you<>
*Ding*
<>An ancient phoenix has taken an interest in you<>
*Ding*
<>The Asura Battle Goddess has taken an interest in you<>
"Oh. My. God. My head hurts! System turn of the Ding Noises! It's too annoying! Notify me only if it is really important if it is not then just put it in the notification section! I'll read it once I have time!"
<>Notification settings have been adjusted<>
"Thank you! That was really annoying! I don't want to deal with that every time I do something."
<>Please choose your starting occupation, this can be changed later on by a special event.<>
Six figures suddenly materialized in front of Bai Qing Qing, they were all female, because, you know, 'she'.
Bai Qing Qing walked up to them and read their description.
[Sword Master]
Sword Masters are people who never flinches from close quarter combat, they send powerful sword slashes that decimate entire armies. They dedicate their lives to seek the dao of the sword.
[Hunter]
At a young age, hunters enjoy the call of nature. They can tame wild animals and make them fight alongside them. They are masters of their environment, and they can slip through the trees like ghosts, whilst laying down traps in the path of their enemies.
[Assassin]
Silent, Agile, and deadly, an assassin specializes in brutal but efficient tactics. They are masters of stealth and hidden weaponry, they approach their targets from behind, piercing a vital organ and slipping back into the shadows before their target even hits the ground.
[Wizard]
Wizards are people gifted with an abnormal amount of mana, only those with a keen intellect and unwavering discipline may walk down the path of true magic. The arcane magic used by wizards and magicians is both great and dangerous. To allow them to spell cast more efficiently, they only wear light cloth armor but don't let down your guard. They can cast arcane shields and enchantments to give them additional protection. To keep enemies from getting too close, they can summon bursts of magic and cause the surrounding area to either change to the element of magic they use. Causing large groups of enemies to be killed.
[Priest]
Priests are devoted to the spiritual, and express their unwavering faith of their gods and goddesses by serving the people. For millennia, they have left the confines of their temples and the comfort of their shrines so that they can support their allies in war-torn lands. They called upon the power of the gods and goddesses to cast healing spells and supporting spells.
[Martial Artists] (Unique class)
Nothing is known about Martial Artists, Myths had said that they can split the mountain with a punch of their fists and cut the sea with a wave of their weapon. They are not like the other commonly known classes and if wanted too, can imitate any other class.
"Hmm? Why is there a Martial Artist class? And it's unique too?"
<>System has detected that player #00000000000 has spiritual qi and has given the player a chance to choose the Unique Class 'Martial Artists'.<>
(yup, she is given that number because she has the best Gaming Cabin while others are using VR Headsets. Just don't worry about it)
<>Each Unique class can only be given to one person.<>
"... The system can sense spiritual qi? I mean I am used to it in my old galaxy, but there shouldn't be anything here on Earth that can sense spiritual qi, right? If they can sense my spiritual qi, does that mean that the system can also sense my aura and bloodlines? And the god of death, the goddess of rebirth, the ancient phoenix, and the Asura Battle Goddess took interest in me because they thought I was their child or family just because I assimilated their bloodlines? Wait, I get reborn as a baby, what if my parents were the god of death and the goddess of rebirth?"
Bai Qing Qing suddenly had an uneasy face. 'I'm just going to call them father, and mother like I normally would with my real parents. Yup, mmhmm, totally won't be awkward if I ever do become their child. And I suppose the goddess of rebirth noticed me because I did rebirth, and the god of death because I essentially did die as well. And that means I have both of their auras as well! And because I was a phoenix in my past life, I also have a phoenix's aura! And since I also assimilated my bloodline along with the Battle Goddess's bloodline, It's even more noticeable! I bet that's the reason they had "Taken an Interest" in me.'
(Don't worry you will meet them very soon)
"Whatever, I'll worry about it when that time comes. I choose Martial Artists."
<>The Unique Class 'Martial Artist' has been chosen.<>
<>Do you want to alter your appearance by ten percent?<>
"No! Why would I want to do that? I am already very beautiful and I don't need any changes to my body or face!"
Bai Qing Qing said in a menacing face, at least to her, to others, if they saw her, they would think that she is as menacing as a kitten can get.
<>Appearance has not been changed <>
<>Please choose your starting race<>
Another five female figures appeared in front of Bai Qing Qing. One had the extremely short physique, one had a slender physique with long sharp ears, another was a reflection of herself, and another had the same figure as herself except with nine foxtails, and a fox ear and the last had slightly green hair with plants wrapped around her arm and leg.

Racial Benefits - Extra pet slot, +5 points in perception, Extra 10% chance of befriending a wild animal
[Dryads]
As goddesses of forests, dryads hold strong power over plants, particularly trees and wood. They have especially high affinity with earth magic. Dryads can make plants grow within seconds and can change a seed into a towering oak. Dryads can call on the energy within plants and trees. And they also make great potion makers. Racial Benefits - High affinity towards earth magic, Extra 10% chance of creating potions, harvests 25% extra materials from plants, 1.5x Mana Regeneration.
"Crossing Dwarf of the list, reason? I don't wanna be short! Next is Beastwomen, off the list! I want to fight in the front lines! Now I'm left wit human, elf, or dryad. Hmmmmm." Bai Qing Qing started thinking about the benefits and cons of each race.
After a short while. "Alright, goodbye dryad, sorry, but, I really like to burn things you know? And sorry human, but you really are too weak, even if you can get strong really fast, but that is only if you are strong, or unless you team up with others. And I really hate teaming with others."
Bai Qing Qing finally decided on the race 'elf', a +10 rep with every NPC you talk to really is an overpowered racial bonus, not to mention the other bonuses of being an elf, so. "Select Elf please."
<>Selected race... Unselected<>
"Wait wait wait, what the heck?" Bai Qing Qing couldn't help but curse a little. "Why does it say unselected!?"
<>Rebirthing user to entity number 0000, and 0001<>
"Oi Oi Oi Oi... I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS!!" Bai Qing Qing started panicking.
