Cap 01: Game Starting

The sound of snow constantly hitting windows echoed through the night.

A good-looking young man, with brown hair, brown eyes and a shaped body was walking in the cold night thinking what was the reason for his existence. "My family died, my girlfriend betrayed me and I have no friends, so what is the point?" Lighting a cigarette with the intention of stopping the cold and lessen his melancholy, William Thiem saw a flier advertising the new virtual reality game that was gonna be released in 3 days, the game´s name was <2nd Chance>.

The game was a MMORPG involving different races, giant continents and Npcs who acted like real life entities, besides all, it was a place where you could fell a new light in you, and in the middle of his depression, that changed William´s sad life.

Next day, William thought about all the problems he had, five years ago his family died in a car accident and being 15 years old he was left alone. Four years later, he got accepted in a good college and found himself a girlfriend, his life was getting back on the tracks but of course problems would happen with this poor fella, his girlfriend betrayed him with his best friend and, using her father connections, she got William expelled from his college. Realizing he had nothing to lose, William used all his life savings and bought himself a gaming helmet.

Two days later, trying to forget his problems, William grabbed his helmet, laid in his bed and logged in the game.

There was a lot of options like humans, dwarfs, wood elves, half-elves, beastkins, among others. Each one of them with characteristics traits.

But in the end William choose Night Elves as his option because it personal skill was a passive which makes it easier to not get targeted depending on the distance between the monster and himself, the active skill was called "camouflage", it worked the same as stealth but only in monsters, while in players and Npcs, it had it´s effect diminished by 70%.

Starting in the Night Elves novice village in the Arcan continent, William saw a lot of players running around, killing monsters and looking for quests. Sad as his was, William just choose to walk around and while strolling he saw a player bumping in an old woman and throwing her to the ground.

As nobody seemed to help her, William tried to put her on her feet, but during his attempt she complained about her condition:

"Thank you kid, but I twisted my ankle and can´t walk now unfortunately"

"Don´t worry, ma´m. I can carry you, where do you want to go?" said William
