1 Prologue: Olympus and Theo
I am Theo Xeros, 15 years old, a high school student, and a gamer.
I am presently a third-year-high school student that is entitled as a top student at a local school in our area. Not only that, I am encouraged to sign up on the Seraphim Academy wherein all top students join once they reached their first year of college.
Even though I am a top student and I have a high chance of succeeding to enter that college, I am unhappy with my entire life. I already know plenty of things which include the secrets of the Voynich Manuscript and I even publicized the secrets of Area 51 to the whole world. I amーbeing referred to as a prodigy of the century with the aid of using numerous officials.
That is why I am escaping reality through video games.
...
Yes, games.
Games are enjoyable and fun. I played a variety of MMORPG games when I am a primary schooler and high school.
My parents do not know that I am playing games, If they discovered it, they might kill me and begin to cause a riot in our house.
My favored game remains at the beta test, I am waiting to make it official to the public. It is a three in one game. Olympus.
Why 3-in-1 game, you ask? It is due to the fact that the world inside this game is very vast. There are three parts of this game and as soon as the current part is done, they'll continue to proceed to the second part.
I had a tough time secretly buying it but luckily, my parents didn't discover that matter. The game is a full-dive virtual reality game, after all. I bought a human-sized capsule-like machine that I can sleep in and enter the game.
It is introduced on their official web sites the names of the three stories:
Olympus: Underworld
Olympus: Seven Seas
Olympus: Tower of Heaven
There are only 100 players chosen to be a closed beta tester, and among them is me. It took place when I was a second-year high school student.
Many people liked the story, however, the gameplay is very difficult, this is why half of the one hundred players gave up mid-way.
When the first closed beta test is done, we need to provide them an overview and of course, out of five stars... I gave them five stars due to the fact that I liked everything inside the game and it is a very good experience for me.
It is just like the common RPG games we usually see. There is the status, class, jobs, titles, and a variety of different elements that you can usually see in RPG games.
But the jobs and classes are different, they're chosen with the aid of using the system itself, you cannot change their class unless you come across a few circumstances.
When I played the Olympus, my class is the 「Sage Swordsman」 and my job is 「Unknown」.
It may sound humorous however it is true.
「Sage Swordsman」 is the class of players that has an affinity for all ten elements, and they could fight physically too.
Though, at the closed beta test, I am the only person who has this class. It looks as if it is simply given randomly, or they based it on a new form of an algorithm.
On my 「Unknown」job? I am not certain either. I almost have no idea what it is, but I also can turn out to be a blacksmith, alchemy, scripture maker, sculptor, and plenty more jobs regardless of having an unknown job.
There also are monsters and bosses, of course. NPC, dungeons, and guilds also exist in this game.
I reached the max level on the closed beta test, level 1000 with the help of beta test privileges. The closed beta test has a 1-month test after all.
After a month, the closed beta test officially closed.
By the way, those 50 players are simply game enthusiasts who cherished smooth gaming. And the remaining 50 are either liked the game or stayed neutral.
The official rating for the first beta test is 4.5.
...
...
I started to wait over a year and I did not believe that there's only one closed beta test and I don't even understand the reason, why they started to publicize the game half a year after the closing of the last closed betaーor to be precise, the only closed beta test?
And on top of that, everyone appears to be excited or quite much interested in the game that even my parents drove me on buying a capsule.
Whatーis happening?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the assembly hall, 7 figures are hidden in the darkness sitting beside the spherical desk.
"Interesting, I need this player to come to be the first 「Entity」of the first series. But he has the 「Sage Swordsman」class, we have to change or give him another one, the higher-ups won't be mad with that matter, right?" the man at the silhouette in the assembly hall suggests.
"I agree, he also gave us a 5-star rating that gave us benefits," the other man stated.
"He can assist us to obtain our goal. Even if he refuses, he cannot refuse" The third man stated.
"Yes, we, the Seven Virtue have to do it for humanity," the fourth man stated.
"Yeah, nowーthe evolution will now... Commence!" The guy on the end of the desk stated as he smacked the desk.
