The beginning

My name is Arthur Herald, and i'm just your everyday guy. Went to high school, got a job, spent time with my family but...I suppose me being average wasn't good for me and my sister. When I was 16 my mother died of a rare disease. Not long after my father... Killed himself, I found his body that morning. I kept my sister away and called the police. They took him away and buried him with my mother. I managed to convince them that I could take care of both me and my sister Thus keeping us from being put in foster care. Years later I was 22 my sister and I where finally getting our lives back together. I had a girlfriend, A house, a stable job that was when life threw gut punch numero three at me, and it hit hard. My sister had the same disease that killed my mother, However they had a cure.

"Excuse me Mr.Herald might I talk to you?" A doctor says to a young man kneeling beside a bed with a young lady in it. when the man stood up the resemblance was striking, both had jet black hair, angled jaws, and narrow eyes. The man said, "Yes doctor. Of course." And Arthur went with the Doctor. As the doctor opened his mouth to speak I already knew it wasn't going to be something I liked. "Well you see Mr.Herald we have a way to save your sister," I waited for it, "But" There it is, "It's rather expensive. I understand if you cannot afford it we can keep her stable for now but you should get the money soon." Arthur turned and left. 'I can't sell the house. My job doesn't make enough for me to be able to save her...' When I got home I heard something that hurt me even more, "Ssssshhh! He'll never know~" That would be Ashley... My now ex-girlfriend. "hehehehe, Your right we've done this dozens of times and haven't gotten caught yet." and Joseph My best friend...Or he was.

I slammed the door closed and walked into the kitchen gleefully listening to the scream of surprise for Ashley and the holler of "Who's there!?" from Joseph. I opened the fridge and grabbed a beer. Sitting down at the kitchen table, I opened my beer and drank it slowly, "Arthur! When did you get back?" There she was all I responded with was, "You gonna get your shit and get out of my house or am I going to have to get the police involved?" Her face went white even more so when Joseph Popped around the corner and said, "Hey buddy share a beer with a friend?" Because I wasn't in the best of moods I looked right at him and said, "We both know in a fight I'll win thanks to my mma training. So I'll let you both leave continue to stand there and I will remove you both from the premise." I Drank the rest of the can in one go. then looking at them, "And Seeing as not only where you cheating on me," I said Looking at Ashley. "It was with my best friend. And I had to find out the same. Damn. Day. My sister was diagnosed with the same damn thing that took my mother, and is currently in a coma, And I have to some how find enough money to transfer her to a hospital that can save her life." looking down my gaze became cold I was long passed normal rage.

"But baby~" Ashley started but she soon shut up when I looked up. Joseph was terrified, He'd seen that gaze twice before. Once when I found out a young man tried to rape my sister, He was beaten half to death. and the second when a the cop that told me about it said that my sister should dress less like a slut to avoid problems like that. He was goaded into attacking me and his carrier was ruined along with his ability to walk. "You have ten minuets to get your shit and leave." I looked at the clock, "It's 4:30, That gives you tell 4:40 to get out of my house starting... Now." Joseph took off grabbing all of his gear and hers to as she was stunned by this side of me. At 4:38 he grabbed her and ran out of the house. I closed the door and grabbed another beer.

Sitting down in front of the TV I simply turned on the news to see whats happening today, "The latest gaming tech, The Virtual Reality capsule. Made by, Another world. The only game currently for this software is call New Realm. Here's a exclusive interview with one of the head programmers." I wasn't paying close attention just drinking the TV was just background noise. "Hello My name Is Taylor Jones. I'm one of three head developers for the game New Realm under the company, ReachingRealm. Now most people wonder what makes new realm so different is simply put the fact that the game does not limit your natural stats. You can be level one and have the stats of a level five. However this can only be done if that is the stat of your normal body the first time you login. after that you can only raise them in game." I looked up at the screen to see a man and a woman. The woman was just the news reporter, the man though was new to me.
