Please Wait….
“Well, I guess that I have nothing better to do.” George exclaimed while floating around in a black empty space. The space was completely dark except for the words on floating in the air. If an outsider were to look in at the space George was floating in, they would see nothing at all. This is because George has yet to choose anything regarding what his ingame character will look like. However his one saving grace, or hell for some, was the fact he was hearing what could be called elevator music. For George, it was hell since he hated it and could not wait to get ahold of the guy who made it.
“Sorry about the wait kind sir” a voice said into his mind or maybe the void, George could not tell. This voice had a strong, wise yet warming tone to it.
“Who-where are you?” stammered George after being startled awake due to the music.
“Well, we can’t have that,” the voice said before hearing a snap of what sounded like two fingers. In an instant George was in a office or maybe library, he could not tell since the room have book selves on each wall with a door on the far side and a desking with a setting area in the middle of the room. On closer inspection, each of the wall had books relating to the medical field and George could see that the desk currently had a couple of books throw about. The desk itself was a bit chaotic with a note pad and pen setting perfectly in the middle, in a way the desk maybe chaotic but George could tell that in the chaos there was order to it.
“Have you had long enough examining my office?” said the old man, who was dressed like a doctor who just got home form work. His suit jacket was off but his tie was still nice and neat and his shirt unwrinkled. The man himself looked kind and understanding like a Grandfather. The question itself had no sense of annoyance even though the old man had to wait a few minute for George to get his bearings.
“Yes, sir. Sorry for taking up some of the time.” said George.
“It is perfectly fine. Understand able even, I don’t know if I could survive sitting in that void for the four hours that you were in it for.” said the man.
“Just out of professional curiosity, why did you not choose to sit some where while you waited?” asked the man.
“I could have chosen to sit somewhere while I waited? I did not know or else I would have, no one told me that I could. So I assumed that this was the same for everyone.” said George.
“It was not the same for everyone since they could have chosen any where they wished while they wait. But enough of the past since it can’t not be change lets talk about here and now. This is the most important choice that you have to make. You must choose your starting race. Then you must then choose your starting class. Both are huge choices that will effect the rest of your mortal life. For, if you choice incorrectly then you must live with the choice.” Said the old man in a stern voice that left no room for disagreement in any way.
“Before we start, may I get your name? My name is George and it is nice to meet you.” asked George.
“Of course, sometime I am so forgetful. My name is Asclepius, the god of health and everything relating to it” said the old man in a very sincere voice that had no malice or force behind it.
“Nice to meet you Asclepius. Is it just you doing the processing of new people?” asked George.
“Zeus’ hairy legs No! You think that I could do all this be myself? No, the entire pantheon is doing it. So over one thousand god and goddess are currently doing processing.” Informed Asclepius.
“So how long will it take for everyone to get processed?”
“It will take about two to three real world days depending on how fast we get through the current queue.”
“What do you mean ‘real world day’? Is the time not currently the same?”
“No, currently we have a 10 to 1 time dilation. This will slowly increase as people get used to the their new home”
“So, I have been in the simulation for over a DAY AND A HALF?”
“Yes, now clam down it will only get longer as time goes on since the system is taxing itself trying to process each new person.”
“I think it is time that we started your race selection, I you will see several prompts telling you information about each race and the current standing in the area you are set to spawn in.” said Asclepius.
“Prompts? So you cant see the blue screens or the letters?” said George.
“No, only the person, you, can see what is in the blue screens but your eyes do look like they are looking far away when anyone uses them.” informed Asclepius.
“Okay thank you for that, can you tell me the main races of the area that I am spawning in?” asked George.
“Sure, the five main race in the Tennessee area are: werewolves, orcs, humans, elves, and dwarves. There are currently three races that have less than a thousand people, which are: dragonborn, genasi, and aarakocra. However, these races are currently locked to most players without permission from one of the in-game gods. Can’t have an overpowered person in the world. Now back to the task at hand to see information about each race think about the race’s name and it will appear.” Asclepius said in a way like a Grandfather would as he tried to explain how a tool worked and that he could use it if he wanted too.
“Thank you, I will need to read over each one before choosing.” replied George.
“You are welcome, if you need help just ask and I will try to answer.”
George thought about which one he want to look at first. But have a good minute of thinking he decided that since he would read them all, it did not matter which went first. So George thought ‘Human’.
At George did not know what to think about how basic the Human template was but he was interested in knowing how many stat points he got per level. So he decided to ask Asclepius about it.
“It depends on your class and how lucky you get.” responded Asclepius.
“What does luck have to do with choosing a class?” asked George.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
“It has everything todo with your class choices. Do you think we would give you all the same classes? No, each person will spin a wheel to see what their three classes they can choose from are. If you don’t like any of the three then you can always choose the main class types for lower gains.” explained Asclepius.
After taking a moment to think about Asclepius answer, George went put it aside since right now he had to choose what his starting race would be. This, he knew, would be a major choice since if he screws up the choice, then his entire life would be miserable until he got out of the game. So, thought about the next race, ‘Werewolves’.
“Can I see what these racial bonuses do?” asked George.
“Sure, just think the skill and it will come. This will work for most things if you can access the information or have a way too.” said Asclepius.
Interesting, so that race is all about working with others. I wonder what the other races will get to make this even. Well let’s check the next race, ‘Elf’.
Great another race that will benefit from a team. Lets hope the last two are not the same and that I have the choose of being solo for a little bit. On to the next race, ‘Orc’
Nice, this is a race I could play if I wanted to be solo. Overall nice stats and all balanced in a way that no one race could over power another. Time for the final race, ‘Dwarf’.
Overall, I think that I could play any one of these classes but I might want to check with Asclepius on what I should maybe play as. “Hey Asclepius, I was wondering if you could give me a suggestion as to what I should choose my race as.” asked George.
“Sure, it all depends on your play style. I am not allowed to give any advice but I can tell you that you can play anything with any race. However, one race might be easier than the rest for that type.” informed Asclepius.
“So, I could be a mage as an Orc then?” asked George.
“You could very well do that. Although I don’t think that would be the wisest choice given that they do not have a high wisdom or intelligence stat. But, yes it is possible to play as a Orc mage.” he said in a very wise tone. Suggesting that although something was possible to play as. The better question should be whether it should be played as a certain class.
“I think I might take a couple of minutes to review these races and figure out which one I want to play as.” said George.
