Paragon 1/3

On my way to Paragon I ha da lot of time to think of my plans for the future.

There were many quests in the game ad some could take up to weeks or even months to complete, but when one talked about a quest with high gains and long runtime, there was always one answer that could never be left out.

The Grand Quest of FRO.

It was titled [Wishes Well] and was the grand quest that had many requirements and many endings, in total there wer ten endings.

Depending on he race of the player who completed the quest, that race would receive a gift from the system.

It could be anything from a few levels on every player of that race to a doll with laser eyes for every child of that race, there were many who would probably ask to be max Level, but they could not.

The gift had many restrictions and hand a numbered about of uses that we're practical, that made it a great tool for accomplishing certain tasks, and a great weapon against players of any race.

Ending number ten was the most common of the endings that the developers made, it was that they person that completed the quest go a wish and used it foolishly.

But the other nine endings we're very different, if a race had access to unlimited flight they could hold a vast advantage over the other races.

So it was a common thing to see amongst players to be very devoted to their race sd even go as far to act racist and discriminate against other races, they hasseld NPC and PKed many players if given the chance.

Part of this struggle was boosted by the existence of the Players Goverment.

It was a group that had a branch in every races main city, think of them like the actual government, they had power over NPC's and players of that race, there was even a magazine in the real world that dedicated themselves to keeping p, layers up to date with he happenings of the government.

The government system was made so the world of Alrial would feel more lifelike, with wars and infighting between the races, it left many races to form alliances.

The spriggans we're the only race that didn't take part in the wars and infighting, from what I had read in the magazine, Most of the Spriggans, both NPC's and players, we're neutral.

They were on good terms with everyone, and profited from the infighting the most, they had a trade agreement with everyone and supplied all sides with things to continue the fighting.

They were like a man behind the curtain, they manipulated things, which led to there generally bad image as a race.

It was also a very recent development that the Cat Siths and Salamanders went into full blown war.

The Player Government gave weapons and Vails to those who went on to fight, and with the game being massive and on an international server, it had many people who had nothing join to get something.

Anyway back to the endings of the quest.

Each of the nine main endings we're designed to have one race have an unlimited flight time, this would obviously make most people rejoin the game as that race, making the number of that race shoot up.

A lot of the beta testers that I knew wanted nothing to do with the main quest or the politics of the game, and just saw it as a game, but most people are stupid and they disagreed with me and my friends.

The main quest was, in my eyes, like a though experiment, made by the developers.

So I did want to have anything to do with it, but the wish could come in handy, but because the quest was repeatable only a certain amount of times who ever made their wish had an advantage over everyone else.

My and my buddy Tom had an idea that in the next two years the developers would be forced to patch the main quest and replace it if no one completed it or in the more likely event that every ending had been explored and that all players had infinite flight, because if anything was their own damn fault for the way the game was played against to how they meant it to be.

As I was flying towards the city zi saw a large group of Players flying below me, p through the trees and towards the city, as I got closer to have a look, I saw a very familiar fair skinned face with pink hair and blue eyes.

It was my sister.
