Life wasn't as bad as people may believe. I ate enough to survive and I got to explore during the night. The place where I was was beautiful. It may not be the same as my home but it was still nice. I lived a good life, and it only got better when the game was released. People called it Between, a place where you could go and no one would know who you were if you didn't tell them.
The Federations had no power in this new world and anyone could be anything. They could be a king who rules over a vast amount of land or a farmer who provides food to the kingdom. The poorest people in the real world could become unmatched tycoons.
It was a place I wanted to be, so I headed out to an area where I could go into cryo and try my luck in Between. To try to stop overpopulation they gave away spots in cryo so people would stop populating the planet. Between was so real that you could start a family with other players or even NPC's.
There was a long line when I got to the warehouse where the cryo pods were, they needed a lot of space for everyone. It took what seemed like an eternity to get a cryo pod for myself, and I am glad I came when I did because it seemed I took one of the last ten in that warehouse. The outside design of the cryo pods was a sleek silver with blue accents to it. It gave off a majestic feeling.
When I got comfortable in the pod the lid closed and I felt a sudden jolt of pain on my neck.
Then the world went black.
As I awoke what I saw shocked me. I was in a vibrant forest little animals such as rabbits and squirrels were scurrying about completely ignoring me. It was as if I was not even there. I tried to move my legs but couldn't, they felt like they weighed a million pounds. As I looked around I could see a screen that said start, so I reached over and pressed it and as soon as I did and two new menus appeared.
The menus that were shown were [Character] and [Class]. I pressed [Character] and a 3D model of me appeired. I was six foot tall, average build, with black hair and brown eyes that are so dark they are almost black.
Options apperied and allowed me to change my appearance. It even had a tab to where I could spin for a race. Of course I pressed the option to change my race to something different than human.
They are a violent war mongering race and I don't want to play as one. This is supposed to be my new life. One where I can live how I want and keep the spirit of my people alive. Once I pressed the spin button a wheel of options was displayed. Some of the more interesting ones were the Titans, the Demi section and the ones with question marks instead of names.
Next to the wheel were four different races that I could also pick. But the wheel seemed more interesting as it had more unique and powerful choices. But with that up side there's a possibility of getting a bad pick. Such as a pixie. A race that is described as incredibly weak. Low mana capacity and almost no physical strength. The only upside to that race was they were incredibly fast when flying. But that ability was locked till level 30.
I decided to go with the wheel. As it was spinning my anticipation was growing, time ticked away and it started to slow. It was nearing a question marked race. As it was about to land on it something happened. The wheel started to crack, I tried to open up the menu to report a bug but I couldn't. Then the world went black.
