Chapter I.

In the middle of the gigantic room was a huge round table, carved out of black shiny stone and studded with several large pale glowing runes. It was surrounded by 57 luxurious chairs that were fully occupied, but only one chair was empty and stood out above the rest. It was a chair adorned with the most precious jewels and the most beautiful objects in the world, for it was dedicated to the one who ruled the room. But that person was not in the presence of 57 people.

One of the members who sat waiting for the one who ruled the room was dressed in full red plate armor that exuded an inhuman and dark aura of despair. His armor, however, resembled none that had been made in the human world and by human smiths, it was otherworldly. His cruel helmet resembled a human skull that was covered in detail with human dried skin. His detailed armor looked like a human body without skin, and every movement he made looked like he was about to suck out all the life that was currently in the room. In his right hand he held tightly his large odachi weapon, which looked like a unique decorative piece, but blood dripped from its hilt, but none of the people present were worried about it, as the blood disappeared from the shiny black marble floor in a few seconds. This being named Tsuki, was the one who had become a higher level Undead Warmage to learn the most powerful spells.

In Worldborne, each player could choose between three groups of widely developed races for their character: the Heteromorphic, Humanoid, and Demilid.

The humanoid races included: elves, half-elves, dwarves, gnomes, Aasimar, halflings, and so on. The Demilid races tended to be very ugly looking, they were: orcs, lizards, cyclops and so on. And the heteromorph races, they tended to have higher (mostly offensive) stats, but they also had their drawbacks. In total, there were eight hundred playable races.

The game also boasted advanced visual effects for its time, unlimited freedom of play, and large game worlds, of which there were six in total: Hitifold, Jotunheim, Dyrheim, Alfheim, Asgard, and Ohreinnfold.

Players could also purchase a special package separately that included tools for NPC character creators.

"I see you're still in good shape, Hisam."

The long silence was suddenly broken by the creature's deep voice, which echoed throughout the room before fading into the distance. The owner of this voice was a six foot tall man, but something about him was strange, his body was not human. He wore black plate armor that was studded with blue diamonds, his chest was adorned with a large crimson diamond, and his entire armor was golden. His helmet resembled the face of some strange lion, but from the front of his helmet grew a long golden horn that looked very imposing, and he had a golden tail that was larger than himself and was covered with long metal spikes.

"Yes, as you can see, I am still whole. By the way Iki Ryo, can I ask you a question? Just out of curiosity, of course."

This woman leaning on the table with the elbows of her hands could be called a goddess of beauty. Her long purple hair reached down to her shoulders, covering half of her face. Her expressive eyes were a deep blue color and her skin was as pale as wax.

She wore full red stockings that reached up to her chest, which were then covered by silver detailed armor. A large black feather was pinned to her shoulders, and a black cloak trimmed with gold bands was pinned around her waist to match her design. However, her pride and joy was something that resembled a large golden key that hovered above her head, along with several black daggers that shone strongly with a yellow dazzling glow.

"Yes, why not. I'll be happy to answer it if I can."

At this point he began to feel uneasy, knowing that this woman was very cunning and predatory. Hisame liked to take every opportunity that presented itself to show that she was worthy of the position Iki Ryo was in. Iki Ryo was the commander of the Knights of Doom, which numbered over 30,000 knights. It was an important guild army that was supposed to defend the northern wall from the invading player forces. Hisame was not a fan of war and had no intention of leading an army, her main target was the rich fortress on the edge of the northern wall where Iki Ryo resided and was the lord.

This fortress was called Lavinia. Lavinia was built of black Mithral with a star-like structure with huge walls and great towers that pierced the clouds. Each side of the fortress had its own name. The northern was called Eredith, the western was called Maria, the southwestern was called Rose, the eastern was called Elyn, and the southeastern was called Helia. Lavinia was primarily used as a storehouse and held many valuable minerals and gems. The place where the fortress was built was rich in gems and minerals, which players could use to make weapons, powerful golems, armor, or magical items...
