3 Lurker

(AbbyFox POV)

Today will be the day "World of Makan" will be open, after I finished eating, I immediately went to my room, sitting there was a Virtual Reality Gaming Capsule, I stroked its surface, my hands sliding on it slowly until my hands reached a button, I clicked the button and then the Virtual Reality Gaming Capsule opened, inside, there was a seat, I entered the capsule.

In front of me was a handprint, I put my hands on it and then 'Beep' it sounded the lid slowly closed and I relaxed myself, when it was closed, some kind of thing sprayed on my eyes making me close it, then in the next moment.

[I.D Log in]

[Scanning....]

[Confirmed]

I heard a robotic voice spoke and then my vision suddenly turned white, and then I saw my self in front of me.

[Character Customization]

[You may adjust your appearance up to 15%] The robotic voice sounded again.

I immediately adjusted my appearance a little bit, making myself a little more beautiful, after that I clicked Confirm,

[Character Name]

"Abbyfox" I replied

[Confirmed]

The place started to darken and a hole slowly opened, I walked into it and when in the other side, I saw a beautiful forest, just then a voice called out "Welcome, Servant!".

I turned my head around and found the most handsome guy I have ever seen in my entire life, he had black hair and red eyes or maybe purple, then he had this small horn in his head, it may seem look weird it adds more charm, "Hello" I replied.

Just then he turned his head and looked behind me, I turned my head around and saw the other players, I thought they only chose 20 beta gamers, why is there more? and I thought that only human race was available? many questions popped on my head.

I can see that there are elves, dwarve, I also saw a girl with a dragon tail with her, and at the very side, I saw a male with big body and a horn in his head, no matter how I look at it they were demons! and it looked like it was just not us who were confused, everyone is, except for the handsome guy standing in front of us.

....

Mark smiled as he looked at the first gamer who came out of the portal, it was a human female, and he greeted her, and then looked behind her, the other gamers were also coming out of the portals one by one, there is the human race, elven race, dwarven race, there is also the dragon race and demon race, they were all looking around confused, Mark raised his hands and snapped a finger.

'Flick'

All of the gamers kneeled on the ground, a strong pressure was bearing behind them, they felt like they were carrying a mountain behind them, Mark then spoke "I am Mark, A Demon Lord, I am your Lord, I am your master" that was all Mark said as he again snapped his finger, the pressure that bearing to them was gone, everyone looked at Mark, especially the demons, Demon Lord was the highest in their hierarchy.

"From today onwards, you will all become the Kingdom Gaia's Citizens, your mission is to make Kindom Gaia the greatest in the history of Manak" After Mark's speech, he immediately gave them their missions via system, all of the communication between the Dungeon Lord and the gamers was done via Dungeon Core, Mark could remotely assign mission the games using the dungeon core.

Using missions with rewards was a better way to direct them, the rewards consisted mainly of bronze, silver, and gold coins, Mark picked this useless currency from the other worlds, the currency of Manak was very different from the others, they use something more complicated, like Mana Crystals and Essence Stone, well that was only to the Demon Lords and stuffs, but to the human and other races in the world of Manak, they also use coins.

As for the Kingdom Gaia name, Mark thought it carefully, he name it after a certain tree that he found in the Death Forest, It was the tree of life, Mark had read a tablet with words inscribed on it.

{She lived for ages, and still she lives.

She waited for hundreds of centuries, and still she is not giving up.

She lived among the people of yesterday and she is still trying to understand the people of today.

She is here since the beginning but she never lost hope...the hope to see someone strong enough to make the difference.. to change things..

Her name is Gaia, someone call her just "home"}

Mark felt something when he read the words that is why he named it after Gaia, Now back to the Gamers, Mark gave them their missions and all of the equipments needed can be bought in the NPC shops he created, they can borrow it at the shops then return it after, also at start of the game players will receive a 10 copper coin, to buy food.

Mark gave the missions randomly, some gamers will work with other races and they will cooperate, this also helps them in knowing each other, and it went slowly for a while but a commotion happened really fast, a gamer had died, it was an elven player, she died hunting magic beasts, well Mark didn't gave any mission hunting magic beasts, not his problem.

There was actually a warning before they hunt beast and that is to train, even though they had fighting experience in their worlds or they were masters, World of Makan was different, this was a World where war never ended, and all living beings were much more ferocius that was why when Mark was born, he decided to take a vaction.

He may be strong in other world but in Makan, he was only as strong as a normal without a Dungeon Core, a demon lord grows with the Dungeon Core, right now the Dungeon Core was still Tier 1, Mark was slightly stronger than Magic Beasts, also the penalty when a gamer die, is that they will have to create a new character, pretty harsh right, Mark made it so that this gamers were cautious, of course there were also healing items like a healing salve sold in the shop.

After that commotion everything proceeded smoothly, Mark was inside the dungeon core, looking at the forums, he was a lurker.
