[Welco to the world of Apex Ascension.]
Veyne found himself in the white room in front of the blob of golden light. It was the projection of the central AI that controlled everything in the ga. It was kind of bland, but who cares?
Though there was speculation in his past life that a selected few players could see the true form of AI behind the glow, but there was no proof to it.
At this mont, a blue window popped up in front of him.
[Please confirm your na.
Current na: Vayne
(Continue/Change)
]
Veyne rubbed his forehead.
In the past, he was obsessed with keeping his in-ga avatar as close to his original self as possible, and it had bitten him many tis.
He just said, "Change na."
[Enter your new na: ___________]
Veyne thought for so ti. Many popular nas ca to his mind, but he did not want to copy others.
He thought for a long ti, choosing many nas and then canceling them. After racking his brain for a full 10 minutes, he said, "Forsyx."
He liked the sound of it. As for the aning, it was a combination of Formless and Styx—Styx to remind him of the past and Formless for his class.
Then, Forsyx on its own was closer to Forsyth, which ant 'man of peace.' His na would be the opposite of that.
The more he kept thinking about this na, the more he got attracted to it. It might not be that cool, but out of every na that ca to his mind, Veyne resonated more with Forsyx.
"Yeah, let's go with Forsyx."
[Forsyx...checking availability... The na Forsyx is available to use. Do you want to choose 'Forsyx'? (Yes/No)]
He sighed, thankful he did not have to think more. The na availability was another reason he went with the aningless word. Otherwise, it would take a long ti to find a good, unique na that 500 million before him had not taken.
He nodded and said, "Yes."
Ding!
[New user Forsyx registered.]
[Body model detected for biotrics... Character creation in progress.]
The next mont, a mirror appeared in front of him, and he saw his real-life naked self reflected there.
Since this was not his first ti, the creation of his body model was hassle-free for him; otherwise, he would have had to scan his whole body part by part.
Though ga pods had no such hassle, including better sensitivity synchronization, it was another reason ga pods were more popular than headsets.
He shook his head and stared at himself.
It looked just like the actual reflection that he had seen in the morning.
Now, there was a 15% filter limit to character customization so that every in-ga character reflected a player's real self.
It was just a marginal costic change, though many people use it to beco thinner or enhance their looks.
It was especially popular among the female player base, but Veyne was not into those things.
He just changed his pupil's color to green and his hair color to dark brown.
It was kind of simple, but he loved this simplicity. He took a last look at his character and then entered the finish button.
The next mont, the mirror started moving toward him, and soon he passed through it like it was so sort of illusion.
Although he felt no difference, when he checked his hair color, it was dark brown, just like he had chosen.
Ding!
[Character creation finalized... Class selection... Class detected.]
[Player: Forsyx.
Class: Template Wilder (Locked)
]
[Server selection in process... The system assigned you to the 6th server based on Player Forsyx's real-world location. Please select the starting kingdom and village.]
Well, there was no change to the server.
The screen shifted in front of him, and an entire map of the 6th server appeared.
He just tapped at the bottom edge and picked the Rowali Kingdom. Once he tapped on the Rowali Kingdom, the map shifted, and the Rowali Kingdom occupied the entire screen.
Throughout the kingdom, multiple small villages lit up—these were the beginner villages for new players.
He slowly scanned the map, and there he found, on the north edge, the city the Kiyon Guild controlled.
It was grey, but there were multiple villages around this city.
What was more interesting was that all these villages were shining in different colors based on the population of players in them.
The green ones had the least number of players, and the red ones had the most.
After looking at the nas, he chose the green Blackwater Village. The village with black in their na was kind of famous in his past life, as these villages followed a similar the.
If things went according to the plan, it could provide him with the enormous opportunity he was looking for.
A confirmation popped up in front of him.
[Player Forsyx, are you sure you want to choose Blackwater Village?]
He tapped on Yes, and his player interface popped up in front of him.
[Na: Forsyx

The golden blob hovered around him. "I wish you good luck, Player Forsyx. Hope you survive in the world of Apex."
Veyne... No, Forsyx smiled at the ssage. It differed from 'Have fun exploring the world of Apex.'
He had never paid attention to these details in his last life, but this ti, even the AI sounded ominous. He just shook his head as the bright light engulfed him.
...
The next mont, Forsyx found himself standing in the center of a destroyed battlefield littered with hundreds of corpses.
He stood there, stunned.
Boom!
Before he could react, a loud, ear-numbing sound erupted from the center of the battlefield.
There, at the heart of the chaos, he saw multiple creatures from different races all rushing toward a giant behemoth monster.
Before he had ti to make sense of the scene, he t the creature's gaze.
It was like ti stopped for him.
Even amid the battle itself, that creature was staring at him.
Then, all of them collided. He only saw a dust cloud rise, and in the next second, the shockwave from the battle obliterated everything—including him.
The next mont, Forsyx opened his eyes in the center of the plaza in Blackwater Village, gasping for air.
