New game

the new game VR MMORPG: conquest is the most anticipated game of this year. With its hyper-realistic graphics and NPCs that can think for themselves, you can be anything in this new game, you have the option to become an adventurer or build your own city with your own army that could eventually develop into a kingdom.

some players might want to make potions or be a merchant, etc., but in Conquest, you can be anything your heart desires.

I'm Mathew, an average 26-year-old retired professional gamer, who is not very famous but pretty well known. I lost the championship game with my team, at least that's what everyone thinks. I did my best, but there's not much you can do when your team sabotages you.

my mood deteriorated when I thought back to those days. Sighing, I went to my PC thinking that there was nothing I could do to change that, I opened my PC and searched for the game forum in my browser to see if I could get any useful information."

actualgirl880: "I tried the beta and it was so awesome! You could talk to the NPCs as if they were real people, which honestly scared me quite a bit, but in the beta, only the adventurer path was available, which is a shame, still, it was so much fun, although I have to say it was quite hard to level up in this game, so putting your stats in the wrong place could be a big mistake, so be careful

archaeopteryx6767: "Yeah I agree with the previous speaker, it was pretty hard, I hit one of the NPCs to try out the game mechanics and they hit back hard lol, I got kicked out of the village, be careful how you treat the NPCs in this game"

I scrolled down further but found nothing useful. I decided to get some rest before the game went online, I looked at the clock, it was 4:30 pm, so 7.5 hours to go. I brushed my teeth and set my alarm for 11 pm so I could get ready before the launch, and went to sleep.

I woke up from the sweet sounds - beep! beep! beep! - I pressed the button to stop the alarm, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom. In the mirror I saw a 177 cm tall, dark-haired, thin man, then I jumped in the shower and took an agonizing cold water shower in my crappy apartment that had only one bedroom with a bathroom and a living room with a kitchen, then I went to my PC, while I was frustrated, that I couldn't do anything to fix it since I didn't have enough money to move out of this apartment or fix the heater, I sighed and then checked the game page and there were 5 minutes left to play, excited I went to the gamepad and laid down.

"I'm connecting to the game server" I heard in my head, then I looked up and saw the timer of 5,4,3,2 1!

I opened my eyes and saw an angelic woman with white hair and a white dress smiling at me. "Welcome to Conquest Online, this is where you'll create your character, you can only change your appearance 20%." so they give you a guide to help you get started. "What can I change about that 20%?" asked Mathew, to which she replied. "Your eye color, hair color, nose shape, mouth shape, and body mass." Hmmm, that's really a lot compared to other games where you can change anything you want, but race doesn't seem to be an option so everyone is human. I think I'll just change my hair color to blonde, increase my height to 188 cm, and my eye color to blue so I look good lol. Last but not least my username, I always get stuck on that part in games because I can't think of good names, it's so frustrating.

then I pressed save and was suddenly teleported to a random location. I looked around and saw what seemed to be an endless forest. I calmed down and looked around. I saw a campfire and some leaves to sleep on... and 4 people. Suddenly I heard a shout, "Who're you and what're you doing in our village?" I looked at the person who'd shouted. He looked like a guy about 30 years old with dark hair and muscles and he seemed to be shielding 3 people behind him from me a woman and an old man and a young man.

village, I thought? This isn't even a camp, no fences, no houses, nothing that could even give a person the idea that it's a village. yet I answered the man, who seemed to be getting impatient with me just standing there.

"My name is Aspect, I was traveling with my father and mother when we were attacked by bandits. They died so I could escape and I was on the run for days when I finally saw some people and thought I could get some help," I paused dramatically and clapped my own hands because I thought of my amazing story right away.

then I sobbed a little to make the story more believable. "Aspect? That's a funny name," the man said, still a little suspicious. "You're the weird one, that's a normal name," is what I wanted to say, "but yes, my parents were a little different from normal people and that's the name I go by " and I chuckled to make it more believable, which seemed to work because the man relaxed and let go of the people he was trying to "protect" from me.

"Welcome aspect, my name is John, the girl by my side is named Isabella, the old man is William and this guy here's named Lucas. isabella: I'm sorry to hear about your parents apect."

aspect: "thank you Isabella"

william: "me too but you just have to move on no matter what happens

lucas:"...."

john: "Now that you know everyone aspect, how about you go get something to eat and drink? " isabella: "yes, we've some bread left, come sit down and eat."

i followed Isabella to the campfire and sat on a rock while I waited for her to bring the food.
