Chapter 1: Reincarnation
Rain drizzling down from the sky, or from those dark smoky clouds. But well, rain drops are falling down from the sky. I stare deeply up, watching the drops of water fall and crash, clouds shifting around, cars passing by. I feel that time is slow and life being all dull. I could no longer have the feelings or purpose to continue living anymore.
Me being single, unable to have a perfect relationship, or even a relationship that would last for a month or even a week at that. Even though I, the number one player of the slowly ending game called VRMMORPG: Elementia. The Game I spent my all into, is at its end .
AS to why to it's ending? It's not because limited expansion or anything like that, it's due to how Hardcore it was. As the game is very realistic, almost like it wasn't just a normal game where you level up, spend points to grow stronger, items drop upon death, having unlimited lives, and etc.
NO!
VRMMORPG: Elementia, this game realism is to the point they are in another world, but with one thing make the place a game, which is the Status Interface that only shows the Player's Capabilities and Various Information About them. Everything is that world must be done manually. There are no Item Drops, Auto making, Levels, Stat Points, and all of that.
As to how I became the greatest player there, well I was very hard working and very successful on what I do and with the willpower I had then, I was pretty unstoppable and was unlike others who rely too much on various systems that would automatically make them strong. To have strong damage, make or get a powerful weapon and exercise, it even grow endurance, stamina, vitality, speed, and much more.
The Game is made for real pros with actual talents in the real and not those who rely too much external things like the Level System and of the like. Ranging from Martial Artists to maybe athletes. Those who have great physical fitness and trained, they could do very well than those who can't do shit.
I, Aledros Valfica, a practitioner of many things, like a Jack of All Trades. I could do anything from Combat to Logic. But well, less on Logic due to me not studying well enough with things on higher logical things, which I don't know of. Though I'm a good inventor, making various gadgets or tech. I do well on most things.
I used all I learned into the game and became really successful until game wasn't making much profit and budgets on continuing the game was slowly decreased and players leaving one by one pretty fast after a few years it has been released, due to difficulty.
I was loyal to the game and did everything I could and want in the game before it would end, I wanted to experience everything the game could offer. But Soon, all that ended when the Game was shutdown, and I had nothing to left to do. The Money I had was slowly but surely decreasing, as the game brought profit to me, gave me enough money for me to keep having a good life.
Well, with it gone, I was no longer gaining any money, and I now I have to find a job or another game to profit off of. I did go to other games, made tons of money, but the gameplay, it didn't give any of the exhilarating feeling, it felt too easy, things could be easily accomplished through leveling various things like the Character and the Skills. Gather Skills to do amazing things, but gaining these skill are too easy. With my experience from VRMMORPG: Elementia, I could make skills that it didn't have and easily master those made skills, becoming powerful fast.
I was even named the King of Games, IGN(In Game Name), Zithferianfadafarkirkedikada, to slowly say this, it's Zith-Fer-Ian-FA-Da-Far-Kir-K-Edi-Ka-DA. Pretty complicated name isn't it, well, it wanted it to be complicated, it's like me, complicated man who could do all sorts of things.
But Now, I'm just a Depressed Man who can't find the Exhilarating Feeling of playing a Hardcore game. Computer games? Put those aside, I can't even feel the game personally and up close into the game. Even Console Games, can't give the feelings on doing things with my own entire body.
*Thunder Crackle*
"Hmm? The Rain becoming a Stormy Rain? Hope Lighitng comes striking me! Ahaha!" Oh how I jinxed myself there.
*Thunder Boom*
A Lightning Bolt strikes towards my location and zapping me to death, making me burnt like charcoal. I cursed on how I rose a black flag over my head saying lightning strikes won't be hitting me, which it did.

...
In Cybernetic like world, I found myself here, pretty dumbfounded myself, I even recognized the area. As it was the area used for Character Creation in VRMMORPG: Elementia.
"Is it like those kinds of novels? What was it? Reincarnation Novels?"
I remembered reading some novels about the protagonist reincarnating into a different world, even some with powers of their choosing or not, probably with a system most of the time. Well, looking at the place I could make up two things being here.
One, I'm reincarnating into the world of my favorite game Elementia, or Two, I can make my own body and go to a world that is not of Elementia. Hopefully it's the first one, as I knew about the whole world in Elementia.
[ Welcome, Zithferianfadafarkirkedikada, To Character Creation Stage, where I, Your Guide, will help you create the body that you will inhabit and things that is going to be done after that, Any Questions? ]
I could hear a familiar voice. It was voice that was A.I. who generally does almost anything, coming from Notification to various Guides, and all of that.
"Is the world I'm going to is Elementia?" I had to ask, as I really wanted to know if the world I would go to is Elementia.
[ To Confirm Your Question, it would be a Yes, Anything Else? ]
I shook my head, "No, I'm ready to create my body."
[ alright ] Various Interfaces appeared around me with sliders and some customization of the body. One whole screen showed the whole body of mines. The First major thing I did to myself, was giving myself a Female Body. Why? I don't see the many benefits in a Male Body, male bodies gives as many as female body's disadvantages. I'm not going into telling what they are as I feel like I'm.... i don't know, umm, talking shit about people? I don't know how to say it.
I went with the Female Body, I put on how I would actually look like if I wasn't Male but a Female. And I pretty amazed, I pretty beautiful, but not incredibly beautiful, but in a right amount. I haven't changed much, but just gave myself Silver White Hair, with Purplish Azure Lines here and there. Added a Tattoo that I had designed myself, though it was made of many intricate patterns that I worked hard to make, it was incredibly hard for me to make it up, but actually made a really unique patterns.
Oh and colors of the Tattoo, they like the lines on my hair, Purplish Azure. It covered my whole body reaching up my neck, as I really wanted my hard worked Designed to be added onto myself. Pressing complete, I went onto the next stage.
[ The Next Part In Your Customization is now, Choosing or Creating a Clan You Want To Be Part Of ]
"Clan Huh." I thought of the many Clans there were on Elementia, they were:
Hell Dragon Clan - Fire Manipulating Clan with Clansmen having a unique trait of Dragon looking Horns
Deep Sea Clan - Water Manipulating Clan with a Uniqe Traits of Fish Scales
Earth Shifter Clan - Earth Manipulating Clan with having a great body Build and being pretty big then normal size
Wind Chaser Clan - Wind Manipulating Clan with having Long Ears like Elves
Thunderstorm Clan - Lightninig Manipulating Clan with Electrical Currents appearing on them, or Lightning
Deathly Shadow Clan - Darkness or Shadow Manipulating Clan whose Eyes are Black and their Pupils Lunar White, and their Voice being a Bit Deathly Hollow
Freezing Cyro Clan - Ice Manipulating Clan that exhale white mist from their mouths when they breathe
Force Clan - Having Telekinesis Powers, they give off a Aura that people would recognize them as Telekinesis User.
Volcanic Clan - Lava Manipulators, unique trait about them is the Heat they emit and hardly cold
Crystlital Clan - A Clan this manipulate both Crystals/Gems, and Metal, they either Crystal or Metal, they grow a gems on their body, if the gems are clear as crystal, then they are crystal users, if their gems are Shiny and metallic, then they are Metal Users.
Holy Light Clan - User of the Light and Healing, and they grow Wings on their Back, like Angels
Soul Clan - Users of Necromancy and Manipulators of the Soul, they have Bone Wings from their back
Rising Tiger Clan - Normal People with high Combat Powers
These are all the Clan on Elementia, and they got their Techniques and Skills is martial art that correlates to their Element(s). Appearance Wise for each clans, they got their Colors to are similar to what they control, and clothes are usually mixed with Mouth Masks, and mostly in Leather or Cloth Armor. Metal Armor or even Full Metal Armor are unless and restrictive in combat. Elemental like Fire or Ice, the Metal Armor would be too hot or too cold to wear.
As for picking what Clan I would go with, I would actually go with a Newly Created Clan.
[ Going With a Created Clan? ]
It asks me, which I accepted.
"Yea, I have a Clan in mind that I would like to have in Elementia."
[ Please Name and Describe The Clan ]
" CyberTech Clan, A Clan that uses and manipulates Technology."
[ Cyber-Tech Clan, Clan who control Technology, Is That Correct? ]
"Yes"
[ Creating a Trait For Cyber-Tech Clan.... ]
[ .... Searching Possibilities... ]
[ Trait Creation Completed ]
[ You Have 3 Traits You Can Pick:
> Cybernetic Arms | Benefits: Weaponized Arms in Both Literary and not
> Cybernetic Chest | Benefits: Body Armor, Cannot Die From Heart, Boost Energy Storage
> Cybernetic Bones | Benefits: Boost Healing Factor, Boost Body Capability, Repairable Bones
]
"Hmmm" I thought about the things closely, Cybernetics are focused in able to customize the arms. I could use them as Shields, Add blades or maybe a Gun, would be pretty cool. Cybernetic Chest, I could no long die from being shot in then Heart or have heart failure, though it doesn't defend areas like the stomach or maybe the lungs. Energy Boost can help with increasing the output and lasting use on using the Elements. For Cybernetic Bones, it won't show visible changes on the exterior. Increasing the Healing Factor is good, could survive from being killed from shot in the heart, though wont help with the Brain, hard to heal those. And even bones, though can be fixed back to their places, but kinda hard for them to join back together...
Soo, i guess I'll go the with the Cybernetic Bones, as I don't really want to see my Tattoo Design to be missing from the arms or chest. So I'll go with the Cybernetic Bones. I selected it and pressed the confirm button.
[ Now for the Character Creation and Clan Creation Last Step, We'll go series of conversation with the Agree to Disagree on about Your Newly Created Clan ]
[ I'll give various techniques and powers that your clan can do, but if you want, you could also add. more Abilities, but we'll go on a debate whether balanced or not, and how to fix it ]
[ Are you ready? Hope That Your Mind Of Yours have a lot of Ideas for your Clan, as there are times you would regret on not having certain Capabilities that could've created from the start, as Creating Abiltiies, Requires Time and A lot of Effort and Balance, Not Balance, it would either go too strong in both Benefits and the Backfire that would happen ]
[ So I ask Again, Are you Ready? ]
*Inhale*
*Exhale*
"Yeah I'm ready."
[ Very Well, Let the Debate Start ... ]
