"Figures," he thought. He relaxed himself and calmly looked at the slowly changing numbers.

"Well this game is the recruitment grounds for the ten, so it's not that surprising that they would use full realism, pain and all."

<Human race selected>
<Please select your class>
A big screen appeared in front of him and on this screen a selection of classes appeared,
<Berserker>
<Archer>
<Sorcerer>
<Warlock>
<Paladin>
"I will have to conquer this world with the class I will choose next, I can't take this decision lightly," he thought.
"Hmm…" He looked over the classes a few times and then he clicked on <Paladin> class.
<Class Selected>
<Please input your name> a keyboard appeared in front of him.
"I don't want them to know it's me so the nickname I had as an orphan should do but this won't hide me if they look for me. Ideally, they won't look for me and when I win their little game, they will most likely invite me to congratulate me, I can't wait to see their pale faces at that exact moment, I wonder what will they say to me then," he thought with a smirk before typing in a name, <H-o-l-d-r-a-k> once he was done, he pressed the <Confirm> button. The keyboard and the screen disappeared and a message sounded,
<Character creation successful>
<Welcome to RE: Alternative World Online>
<Starting>
<3…2…1…> The space around him twisted and with a flash of light, his surroundings changed.
<Human Novice Village>
"In the instruction manual father gave me there were some hidden mechanics of the game which other players are unaware of, one of which was unique skills, I should create my own skill before moving on. If I am the first one to do so, I will also receive some prestige points which I need to receive my place in the ten," he thought.
He unsheathed his weapons and saw a mace in his left and a shield in his right. He pulled back the mace and swiftly moved the shield horizontally. He did this action, one time, ten times and then a hundred times when he repeated it for over two hundred times a notification sounded.
<Unique skill created, Shield Bash, Damages Your Target for 50% Strength and stuns it for 3 seconds, Cooldown: 30 seconds, Range: Melee, Mana Cost: 50 Mana, Shield Required>
"I did it, now I have to be the first one to reach <Level 10>" he turned his eyes to the minimap and following it he walked into the distance to the closest quest.
He walked past all other players and soon reached the town; at the entrance of the town, he saw an old man with a yellow exclamation mark above his head. He approached him and the man spoke to him.
"Young adventurer, how good that you have come, I have an urgent task for you, please go to the capital. It is very important."
<Quest Received>
<Quest Objective: Go to the capital>
<Rewards: ???>
<Quest Accepted>
He once again looked at the minimap and following it, he walked to the goal of the quest.
…
After travelling for quite a while, he finally reached the capital city and as he did the sun was already setting. He entered the city and a notification message flashed before him, <Capital Zandar>
He ignored everything around him and he just walked to the quest. After navigating the streets of the capital city Zandar, he found a middle-aged man with a yellow question marker above his head.
Holdrak approached this man and said, "I have been asked to come here,"
The middle-aged man looked at him and nodded, "Thank you for coming young adventurer,"

"Please go to the square which is in the middle of Zandar and wait there until the sun sets."
<Quest Received>
<Quest Objective: Go to the capital square>
<Rewards: ???>
<Quest Accepted>
Without waiting for anything, he walked into the square and as he entered it, he looked around and saw that it was still a little early. He shrugged his shoulders and closed his eyes – waiting in a single place until the sky darkened and a voice entered his ears which made him open his eyes.
"Welcome everyone to RE: Alternative World Online – the first VRMMO you will experience as well as your last, from this moment on logging out is disabled. From this moment on you are all part of this world and not the world you came from." After these words were spoken the mysterious voice disappeared not to be heard from again and a notification flashed before every player.

<+1 Mystery Gift>
Holdrak arrogantly looked at the chaotic crowd and harrumphed. "I have no time for this, I have to get out as soon as possible. I will become one of the ten and nothing and no one can stop me! Not those geezers and not some game." He turned around and walked away. After getting some distance from others, he opened his inventory and clicked on the only item in his inventory and used it.
