Synopsis

“Five… Four… Three… Two… One…” As the countdown towards the new year went on to the last second, Miles looked up to the sky, just as everybody else did. In the middle of the crowded street, Miles for once felt like he belonged. Being a teenage gamer, living with his parents, and trying to build a life as a streamer, he did not feel like leaving his room every day. But there, in the middle of that crowded street, with everyone around him paying attention to the sky, the countdown on the digital billboard, and mostly anything else but him., Miles felt like a ghost. A welcomed ghost, but a ghost, after all. With a smile on his unseen face, he looked up as the countdown reached one, and everybody sang in unison. ‘HAPPY NEW YEAR!” But Miles’ eyes widened as he watched in utter horror, and curiosity, even, hovering above him, a holographic screen with a few lines of text written in it. All around him, although he did not pay much attention to it, a few other people seemed to experience the same situation. [Updating home-world 39515’s version] [Version 20.25 update brings a lot of fun and games with the new and improved survival mode] [Do you want to convert your previous avatar to home-world 39515’s latest version?] [Yes] [No] “Survival… Mode?” Miles’ lips quivered. Before he could think of anything else, though, the people around him began to scream…

Chapter 1Ch00.1. Somewhere other than Earth

A figure stood in front of a table in the middle of a vast, dark room.

The figure wore a robe the color of the nebulas, sprinkled with countless stars. The robe's hood covered the figure's face entirely, leaving nothing but a mask of darkness scrutinizing the hologram above the table.

The hologram represented what looked like an immense universe, and the figure stared at it under the dark cover of its hood. They reached out to the hologram, opening their arms very slowly, and what had been the universe, became a single star system.

With another gesture from the figure, the hologram zoomed in even more, and the star system gave way to a small group of planets that danced around a bright yellow sun.

"Did you find a worthy representative, Jackal?" A voice echoed behind the hooded figure, Jackal, followed by crackling electricity and a bright blue flash.

"Still searching, Lightning. But I'm… Curious to what this tiny, blue dot here has to offer…" The smirk in Jackal's voice was almost palpable as he zoomed in once more, and the hologram began to show a small blue planet formed mostly by vast bodies of water and a few landmasses.

"Ha! Don't tell me you are really interested in this forgotten rock!" Lightning scoffed, stopping by Jackal's side, and observing the blue planet. He wore a hooded robe, just like Jackal, but theirs had a bluish tone of white, so bright that it could blind anyone who looked directly at it. "You know that even The Elusive One turned their eyes from this piece of blue trash long ago, searching for entertainment in more… Prominent places, right?"

It was Jackal's time to scoff.

"Come on! You know The Elusive One is no bar for standard comparison, right?" Jackal chuckled. "Do you remember when he created four mighty beings to fight a battle that was his own, and then he simply discarded them, because he had created other toys to himself?"

"Yeah, but aren't you being a little bit too greedy, reaching out to his territory?" Lightning could not help but chuckle too.

"Finders, keepers, my dear Lightning," Jackal growled languidly, the sound coming from deep down his throat. "Or did you forget they worship us down there, too?"

"Meh." Lightning shrugged. "I'm not interested in measly humans… Let's see how you manage to get them ready."

There was another bright blue flash, and Lightning disappeared. Only the echo of his chuckling remained, fading, little by little.

Jackal turned his attention to the blue planet again, grinning under the hood.

"Measly humans, you say…" His grin widened, the shadow of an idea taking shape in his mind.

New Eden: Live to Play, Play to Live

In a world of constant competition, one man aims for the top. In this new genre VRMMORPG, he plans on becoming the strongest at all costs. The classes, the races, the starting zones, everything is a mystery in 'New Eden'. This game is coming out without a shred of details. The only thing that was promoted was the freedom of skill choosing. Our protagonist Alexander, gamer tag Astaroth, has always dreamt of becoming an E-Sports athlete. His parents supported his dream, but they are no longer of this world. He fully intends on making it in this new game, if not for him, then at least to honor their memory. With no idea how he wants to play his character, Alexander chooses the most mysterious starting race. Will this be his road to success or his downfall? The game assistant certainly thought the latter. "Do as you wish, young adventurer. I only wish to add this. Do not come back with complaints when you realize you have made the wrong choice," the elf said, looking at him with clear hatred. "We will see about that," Alexander flatly replied. "I love challenges," he added. "Very well!" the elf harrumphed. "Have the adventure of your lifetime, as short as it will last," he sarcastically added. Ahead of him lies an uncertain path, filled with trials and hardships. But one thing is clear in his eyes. He will become the strongest player in the game, even if he must step over mountains of corpses to do so. Over are his days of working hard for nothing, it's make or break now! I now have a discord where you can talk with other readers and me. There are also channels to discuss new weapons; characters; classes; or monsters that you might want to design and see incorporated in the story. I will always give credit to the person that created said thing, rest assured. The link is https://discord.gg/68kPqbSFrN
