Shen Lian felt drowsy as a voice was speaking in her head. When she opened her eyes the surrounding was quite blurry and it took a while before her eyes adjusted. Observing where she was she assumed she was in the Home Menu. Her eyes scanned her surrounding as everything was pure white with only the chair in the middle was made of jade. Scurrying towards the chair, Shen Lian took a seat, and as soon as she does a wide screen appeared in front of her, along with an animal like creature.

"Greetings Host! My name is Biyu. A moon rabbit. I was assigned to you by Prome to be your guide in this world." Shen Lian couldn't help but to pet the moon rabbit. Before Biyu could finish its introduction Shen Lian picked it up and put it her lap. She made herself comfortable in the jade chair all the while still petting Biyu.

"Host please listen to me!" Biyu tried to swat her master's hands but all attempts were futile. As Shen Lian grew up in a household with three siblings, it was already integrated in her bones to annoy anyone who she deems as cute. Shen Lian finger caressed the rabbit gently, all the while smirking. This goes on for another 30 mins before Shen Lian remembered she was supposed to be playing the game. Without much of a choice, she let Biyu freed who scrambled away from her.

Biyu was flabbergasted as her master was unreasonable and was a bully. She couldn't help but to cursed at Prome for assigning her to such master. Meanwhile Shen Lian watched with amusement as the little rabbit expression shifted to different emotions in just a span of few seconds. She coughed her throat in order to have the little rabbit attention.

"Could you tell me about the game?" Biyu could only comply, as this was her job anyways.

"Let's start over again, host. My name is Biyu, a moon rabbit that was assigned to you by master Prome. I am also here to monitor you in case you break the only rule which is do not disclose any information that is not of this world. Breaking the rules would lead you to be banned in the game for 6 months and must pay a fee of 5 million yuan if you are to break the rule, understand?"

Shen Lian nodded. Her thoughts quickly travelled, her family might be capable, but not capable enough to throw away 5 million yuan.

"Alright let's make this quick then host." Biyu thumped her feet and to jade dice appear next to Shen Lian. "This dice will help you get started and to help you allocate your points on your character info. Just roll whenever you are ready host. "

Shen Lian grabbed the dice, shaking it before letting go. The pair of dice rolled before stopping.

"You actually got 10 on your first try, congratulations host, now please allocate your points."

A screen the appeared, and at the top corner wrote Character info: Shen Lian.

Shen Lian grimaced as she watched the screen as Biyu continued explaining.

"The following information is what you currently have that was calculated by master Prome. Please allocate your points fairly in order not to harm your body." Biyu eyes sparkled but it slowly dimmed when she found her host allocate all her points towards intelligence. Alarmed, she tried to stop Shen Lian.

"Host, please stop, if one were to put a two digit number to any of the abilities your body and your brain might not take the backlash. Please remember that the pod will send electricity to your brain in order to mimic your actions inside the pod."

Shen Lian ignored Biyu and she felt her head got dizzy momentarily before it was gone. With a quick flicked of her wrist and before Biyu could say anything she pressed Done.

Biyu again was shocked as to why her host wasn't affected by the consequences. She should had been render incapable for a few hours. Biyu looked at her host info and sneered. No wonder she wasn't affected. Her vitality was high that even if she as 20 points she could still take the damage with only superficial injuries.

"Tell me about my character." Shen Lian picked up Biyu and placed her on her lap but this time she didn't fool around and looked serious. Biyu was a bit shocked to see a bit of changes on one demeanor but kept it to herself.

"Su Lan Yue, is the Di Daughter of the Duke Su Hong, the brother of the current emperor. She is favoured by many and is heavily doted by both her father and the emperor, as she was conferred the title of first rank princess Yue, and was later engage to the crown prince Qing Xi Yu. Any additional information surrounding the character will be figure out by the host, and your quest will be given to you when you start, anymore question Host?"

"Um" Shen Lian touched Biyu's head, looking solemnly. "Can you tell me the lore of the world?"

Biyu froze before her red eyes turn blue. Shen Lian was surprise but dare not drop Biyu as she was afraid that she would hurt the rabbit if she were to do that.

"Greetings, host of Biyu, I am Prome, and will be the one to tell you the lore."

Raising her eyebrows Shen Lian slowly put Biyu's body on the ground. "And why would you tell the lore personally to me, the clock has just started ticking, and one is already bored?"

Biyu head shook. "Because you are the second one to ask about the lore of the world."

"Second? Wouldn't anybody who started would have asked the lore?" Shen Lian gaze narrowed.

"Time works differently in this world, just like in your dreams; one could see their life but is over in a flash, that is also applied in this world. Time after all is just a concept invented by human mind in order to keep track of things."

Shen Lian quite down as Prome started talking about the lore. "Pandora is what this world is called, an archaen era of the earth. The Pandora earth has five nations ruling it while the rest are countries. In the east, the nation of Han stands, that is where your character is from. The nation of Han is well versed both in the magic arts and the martial. However they dominate the latter. On the north, the nation of Sib is filled with ice and blanket of heavy snow. The people who lived there are brutes with strength that can't compete with many, the women in this nation is said to be beautiful as the Sib people believes they have the blood of Freja, the goddess whom they served. On the west, Olympia is powerhouse nation that continues to grow massively every day. The people who lived here are competent in both military, and intelligence. The problem of this nation however is that they have prejudice against anyone that practices the magic arts, and one that is not their own kin. Down below the south, is the orient. Open minded folks, and would welcome anyone, yet unlike the rest of the other nations, they are weak in terms of military or magic arts, but they have a strong familial bond, and that helped to strengthen their will in face of adversity."

"The last one was a bit cliché" Shen Lian couldn't help herself to comment. Prom who is inside Biyu's body looked at her with its lips hooking up.

"Cliché? Well this world mimic the other, you are bound to be familiar with the story. The other's lore is this one's lore. Same yet different."

Shen Lian could only look at the rabbit with no words coming out of her mouth. Prome on the other hand bid his farewell. "Well then Shen Lian, the rest of the lore, you'll have to see it for yourself as Su Lan Yue, and a reminder it's fine to talk to Biyu about the other world as Biyu is a part of me. However, don't talk to anybody about the information once you start playing, and if one is not careful, a player might hear you causing you to be penalized."

Shen Lian ears perked up. "Why would you tell me this?"

Prome jumped towards her lap before assuming the initial position before he possessed Biyu's body. The bright blue colored eyes dimmed and reverted back to red and Biyu was left confuse. She turned to look at her host who had an unreadable expression on her face.

"Host?" Biyu asked her head slightly tilting to the side.

Shen Lian waved her hands and stood up from her chair. "Let's just start the game, Biyu."
