A Breath of Fresh Air

I won't bother writing a long synopsis. Tbh I just wanted to try writing a new one, maybe I'll have the motivation to write this one instead of my other novels. I don't even know why I'm explaining this in here. But if your curious about the novel then Ill write a 1 sentence long synopsis. A new VR game took the world by storm and so, our MC decided to play it.

Beautiful

[WELCOME TO GENESIS!]

After the grand words disappeared, the pure white world is replaced by a beautiful breathtaking scenery of clouds drifting along the skies as the light from the sun illuminated and giving it a yellowish golden glow, further enhancing the sheer beauty of the scene.

Calvin eyes widened upon seeing the most beautiful scenery he has ever seen in his life to the point that he couldn't help but exclaim, "Ohh..my god. This is so damn beautiful."

He continued to look around, unable to forget this beautiful scene in his mind.

Then all of a sudden, Calvin heard a small chuckle that sounded like a woman's voice. He looked towards it and saw a beautiful woman a bit far away from him sitting in a table right inside a small pavilion.

Once again, Calvin was dumbstruck as he saw the beauty of the woman sitting inside the pavilion that he was temporarily left in a dazed state.

But it didn't last long since he was used to seeing beautiful women. The perfect example would be his family and even then, there are a lot more beautiful person on Earth so he got over it quickly.

Right as he was about to say something, he heard the beautiful voice of the woman say first, "Would you like to join me over here?"

Calvin tried to find words to reply but in the end could only nervously say, "Ohh...Uhm sure. Thank you very much."

He heard her chuckle to herself which made him a bit embarrassed as his face turned a bit red. Eager to get it done quickly to avoid further interactions with her as he is very awkward in talking to strangers, he hurried his way to the pavilion.

Only now did he notice that he was able to step normally even though he was standing in the sky which made him think in his head, 'This is neat.'

Making his way towards the table, he sat on the opposing side where the woman is and took the time to observe her properly.

Beautiful long hair and eyes that has many colours, small beautiful face paired with an equally beautiful body covered in a white dress. But what surprised him the most is the transparent butterfly like wings on her back.

Calvin continued to look at her for a few seconds until he noticed that the woman was only staring at him in silence with a smile on her face. Coughing awkwardly, he ask.

"Uhmm... may I know who you are?"

The woman continued smiling as she said, "My name is Narasha and I'm a fairy. I'm here as one of the people who will help travellers like you accustom yourselves into our world and provide you assistance at the beginning of your journey. With that said, may I also ask you to introduce yourself?"

Calvin listened to her carefully and by now, he managed to somewhat calm himself because he remembered something. This is one of the things stated in the official website for Genesis. This process is for everyone to create their characters and get informed about the world and the story behind it.

As for the word "Traveller", this is what will be called to all the players by the natives, or in this case NPCs of the world of Genesis.

The moment Narasha finished her words, a system alert appeared in front of him.

[Please pick a username]

Calvin didn't think for too long and said his most used IGN in many games.

"I'm Zeke"

[Username Zeke available. Username confirmed.]

Narasha continued, "So your name is Zeke. Well nice to meet you Zeke."

"Nice to meet you too Narasha." Calvin said trying to smile.

Narasha smiled as she said, "I can see that your not good dealing with strangers."

Calvin said with an awkward laugh, "Yeah sorry about that."

Narasha chuckled, "Ohh don't be. There's nothing wrong to your attitude. In fact..."

Natasha stopped talking as her eyes sparkled while thinking of something.

Calvin looked at her strangely expecting her to continue her words. Narasha noticed the look on Calvin's face so she cleared her throat.

"Anyways. Zeke, would you like to hear about our world first?"

Calvin's brows raised but didn't ask further and nodded excitedly, "Sure."

Narasha smiled again as she started telling a story about their world while a video showcasing the world of Genesis appeared and Calvin watched in excitement.

The game of Genesis portrays a world that has the same name. It was a world with magic and extraordinary powers that can be used by many people. The whole area of Genesis was a lot bigger than Earth, as one of the things also stated in the website. Also there are a lot of different kinds of races living in Genesis. So in short, a typical fantasy world like those in novels.

There were also wars and other things that almost destroyed Genesis on multiple occasions but now its in a state of peace that has been ongoing for 200 years already. But now, a sign of a new threat appeared in the world threatened that destroy Genesis.

So in order to prevent that, the gods of Genesis called from help from the other world and summoned them to Genesis to help fight against the new threat. And that's where the players come in. The rest is easy to guess.

Done talking about the world of Genesis, Narasha smiled as she asked, "So Zeke. What do you think about our world?"

Calvin said with clear excitement, "Well... I guess its exciting?"

Narasha was surprised to hear that, "Oh you don't think its scary at all?"

Calvin asked with confusion, "And why is it scary?"

Narasha turned serious and explained.

"From what the gods told us about you travellers, your world have been peaceful for a long time. Furthermore, in your world, powers that could take countless of lives doesn't exist and even the common people have power over somethings when united."

"But in our world, no such things exist. The only thing that matters is strength. With enough strength, you could do everything and no one can oppose you. So, do you not fear our world?"

When he heard Narasha's words, Calvin stopped to think for himself before replying.

"Now that you say it like that, it does sound scary."

Narasha turned quiet while inwardly sighing to herself. But before she can say anything, Calvin continued.

"But ain't that what your supposed to feel when facing the unknown. Also, it might look like our world is more forgiving compared to yours, that's not necessarily the case. In our world, there is also many poor people who get oppressed by the rich. And though we might not have magic, there are weapons capable of turning even a whole country into dust. So in that sense, it doesn't really differ from your world."

"In fact, isn't this the case for every single world out there. As long as life exist on a world, there will always be distinctions that separate them. So I'm not really scared since I already know that for a fact."

Narasha seemed more surprised than earlier as she heard his explanation. But Calvin didn't stop there.

"Though the real reason why I'm not really afraid is because of you. To be specific, people like you. I mean, isn't it illogical to think that all the people in the world are a bunch of bastards who do things for fun even at the cost of others. Surely there would be some nice people out there who are willing to help others as well."

"And seeing you in person made that thought stronger. Your like the gentle big sister who would be more than willing to help out her siblings. Even if you don't necessarily help strangers, at the least your a good person in my eyes. And knowing that someone like you exist in this world, makes me relieve."

"So long story short, even if I'm afraid, I'll focus more on the good side and look forward to it rather than the bad side and be afraid to discover new things. Because that's me"
