We stood in a vast plain with a giant ass screen hanging above in the sky, welcoming us in NORDLANDS.
A robotic voice explained the world, but I wasn't listening. I was shocked, stunned to be transported in a place like the one I saw on those 3D screens and billboards –– a world like in a ga.
If I knew this would happen. I should have bought that one thousand dollar console and played those gas like I always wanted. But since I was poor, I could barely save ten bucks in a day.
The pleasant voice of a female bood in the sky. It was coming from the screen above.
Huh? nu what? Everyone was wiping their hands in the air, and a hologram screen appeared before them. But I couldn't read it. It must be set for only them to see their screens.
. . .
. . .
At this point, I was sure that I was dreaming.
I pinched myself, and the pain registered in my nerve endings. I had never been devastated to know that I was alive until this point in my life.
I was already contented with my life in the real world, but soone or so higher entity decided that my life wasn't hard enough and wanted to fight beasts and monsters too?
Was this a part of an experint of a new world? Or a beta test of so new VRMMORPG that was rumored to happen?
If so, was everyone here the sa as ? Poor losers who labored for scraps of money day in and day out? That our deaths wouldn't even cause a ripple in the daily lives of n?
Oh . . . is that . . .
My eyes widened when I spotted a famillar face!
Without thinking, I turned the other way and hid my face with my hood.
Whoa . . . I never expected to see Amara Goldstein amidst this sea of people. How long had it been?
More than ten years? Since grade school?
Her face matured nicely, and her flocks of waves of golden hair were tied in a high ponytail. Her breasts were huge to boot paired with ample hips and long sets of snow-white legs.
I heard that she's taking her master's in dicine, unlike , who was doing odd jobs for a living.
. . . Wait . . . Amara ca from an influential family . . . I rember she even had a chauffeur when we were young. She was riding the latest car in and out of school, and her things were brand new and in season. She was the most popular girl in our grade school.
If she's here then . . .
Could it be that everyone here was not losers like after all?
And judging from the sheer amount of people in different colors, sizes, and appearances, I assud that we were randomly selected to play this twisted ga?
I didn't know if I should be happy that the universe was fair for once.
I took a peek at Amara. She was checking her status screen or nu or whatever it was called, and her face was serious like always.
She had always been unapproachable. And now, her success was woven nicely on her face, and she had this intimidating aura around her that repelled everyone away.
I wonder if she still recognized ? The one who saved money to buy her magic pencils in promised that she would go out with but ended up going out with my best friend instead?
I was a looker in grade school, but the constant work under the sun and heat caused to age prematurely.
I shook my head. That was not important. My girlfriend, Soarsie, or anyone from my family could be here, and this was no ti to stand around and recall distant mories.
I checked my status screen and swiped my fingers in the air. I felt like an idiot, but at least I was not the only one doing it.
A screen appeared in front of , transparent, but I still saw each nu and letter displayed. It'll take ti to get used to it. But for now, I pressed the only available buttons glowing in a pale blue light.
I guess I couldn't access the other buttons for now.

Egh?
I was pretty sure that I pressed the status nu just now. However, the nus on my screen disappeared and were replaced by these bold words that occupied my whole screen.
Is this a bug?
I peeked at the others, but I couldn't see anything on their screen.
