"But that is a locked item" "There are ways to get something like that" The hero smirked "Now it''s time for your end" SHING, the hero swung her sword and pierced the demon lord''s heart throwing it out of his chest on to the marble floor "Another GM boss has been taken out" As that happened the global stream finally ended with the defeat of one of the hardest bosses of [Clearance Online] , many would think that''s where this story would end, but it didn''t end up so well for the demon lord in real life "Your GM contract with clearance online is henceforth terminated" A man in a black suit was looking at the former GM who was playing the demon lord "B-but what about my family" "As you know that isn''t our obligation" With that said all the demon lords real life assets would be transferred to clearance online and he would soon go broke "Father, did you lose all our assets to that game" His daughter smiled with a pissed off expresion "Yes, but- "NO BUTTS, is your head empty or something, why would you accept their deal?" Many people passed by as a young teenage girl was yelling at her father in a musty convenience store alley "Now , all we have is this" The girl looked at a single green bean in her palm "Jellica ,we need to start over and you know your sister would - "Why are you taking HER into this" "SHE is our only hope" Now both of them were yelling at each other, the daughter realized she had enough of this and ran out of the alley to get away from her father "Jellica dont theres a car-" Her father extended his hand trying to reach her but only fell to the ground "Daddy- " She reached out as well but it was too late, a yellow taxi ran her over "Mia Clare, this is all her fault" Jellica''s bloody face could be seen beneath the taxi "Jellica, honey ,stay with us" Her father was in a panic as his daughter''s mind was fading away "Mia Clare, Mia Clare, Mia Clar-" She kept saying her name as she fell into a long slumber ... "Jelly, honey wake up" A soft voice of a woman ringed in Jellica''s ears "M-mom is that you" Jellica was slowly getting up from her bed, she slowly looked around her giant room to find a woman to her side of the bed "Jelly, honey you should have slept earlier you know today is an important day-" Her mom was surprised as Jellica suddenly embraced her while crying "Honey, what''s wrong, are you nervous about today" "Waahh" Her mom tried to calm her down but all that could be heard was crying "Y-you don''t have to go " Jellica suddenly stopped as she realised her face turned bright red "M-mom" Jellica backed away stopping her embrace "Where were we going again?" "What? Today is the launch of the game your dad is sponsoring ,Clearance Online?" "C-Clearance online?" Her mom sighed and petted the back of her daughters head "Glad you''re a little better, are you still attending or not?" Her mom''s face turned sharp, she truly was a pro business woman "No I''m notˇ­" Her mom slowly started walking out of the room as she heard the answer... "Mom wait.." Jellica''s mind finally started working after her stress was gone and thought about the benefits of her current situation "I think I''m going to attend it actually" Her mom sprinted to her and held her hands "Great , your clothes are on your bed, dress up i''ll wait in the car with your dad" ... The sound of high heels could be heard across the long hallways of the mansion as Jellica walked to the front door "Miss ,may I take that" "No " She looked at the boy with cold eyes and pulled back her purse "This is more important than your whole life" In that bag was a exclusive version of Clearance Online you could only get at the launch event of the soon to be famous VR MMO This was the start of Jellica Bane''s new beginning, A new age of beginnings and cathastrophies .... Chapter 1 - Being Exclusive Jellica had readied herself for the launch event of [Clearance Online] ,she still wasn''t sure how this would stop her fathers defeat by Mia Clare but at least she could get a exclusive copy of the game from what she remembered "Nearly Perfect" Jellica walked out to the garden of her home to meet with her mother, she saw her sitting in her fathers black car "Jelly honey over here" Her mom was waving her hands out of the car window "Mom, is dad here yet?" "No, he is already there ,he left because of an important meeting with the developers" "I see, let''s go then" Jellica was not one to worry so she got in the backseat with her mom "I''m surprised you''re actually coming, what bringed this up" "Nothing. I just saw the news and was interested" Jellica rests her head on her hand and looks out the car window , there she sees a giant garden of blue and yellow flowers with fireflies flying in the fields of flowers "This is kind of Beautiful" Jellica was mesmerised by this sight "Mom, have we always had fireflies here" Her mom turns to her in confusion "Not always, we bought some a few years ago" Jellica wasn''t surprised "So money can buy anythingˇ­huh" ˇ­ "We arrived" They were now in front of a giant hotel this was the site rented for the launch event "There are a lot of people here" Her mom was surprised by the game"s popularity as she fought this was just a small game like the rest her husband has been interested in "There is, now let''s head in-" BUMP "Sorry" A girl bumped into jellica pushing her to the ground "Hey watch it-" Jellica got up the ground to see the girl "You should be carefull" "S-Sorry" The nerdy girl with short cut hair and glasses looked at Jellica "I-Im gonna go" Jellica spotted something on the ground , a game disk with the [Clearance Online] logo in a plastic case saying exclusive "Wait ,you dropped this" She turned back and took the disk out of Jellica''s hands "T-Thank you" The girl bowed and ran away "What was that" Jellica''s mom stood there with her eyebrow raised "Nothing , why are you waiting here , lets go" They both headed inside looking around the hotel, there were many people in the lobby, there were exhibits for the game all around the hotel, there one caught Jellica''s eye, a weapon gacha for in game items, "How much is for one pull on this machine" Jellica looked at the person near the machine He points to the sign Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. "One for 7$" Jellica then picks up the list of all the available item cards you could get from the machine off a nearby shelf "Demon dagger, 4 Prism Swordˇ­.." As that she looked through all the items until she appeared at the legendary tier "Severing Realm blade, Raid Crusher, H-Holy Avenger" Jellica pulled the list to her face to see if she was sure and yes, that is the same Holly Avenger that defeated her father "I can''t believe I''ll get this before Mia Clare" Jellica headed to the machine in a hurry and took out her credit card out of her wallet and swiped it in the card slot next to the machine "How much would you like to deposit" The machine asked in a electronic voice "700,000,000$" The machine asked her if this was the correct amount "Oh sorry i made a mistake" She reenters the amount "7,000,000,000$" The machine had no choice but to accept "You have a total of 1,000,000,000 draws" "Let the drawing begin" Jellica passed the 1000x draw button as that was the biggest amount you could draw at once on this machine ˇ­ "Ugh" Jellica has been sitting at the same machine pushing the 1000x draws button for an hour, After such a long time jellica calculated how much pushes would it take to use all the draws "So it''s one billion divided by 1000..so that''s One MILLION times i have to push this freaking button" Jellica was having a meltdown next to the machine and a staff member noticed her "Ma''am do you need any help" The staff member politely asked her "Yes, is there a way I can use all my draws at once" The staff member wondered "If you got a uneven number you could use the 1x draw button to even it out" Jellica looked at her confused "No, I have too many" Jellica shows her the screen saying how many draws she had "Umm, that i don''t know" The staff member heads off "I''m going to ask my superior for help please stay there" The staff member mumbles something while leaving "This place doesn''t isnt for someone like her" Jellica starts pressing the machine again until the staff member comes back with her superior ˇ­ "Who here has more than one million draws" A tall man with dark glasses looks around the lobby Jellica turns to him expectedly He notices her and goes to her side "May I ask you a couple of questions" He squats down next to jellica "Yes you may" He starts off questioning her with an air of seriousness around him "Question one, has the machine malfunctioned and it has given you draws or did you actually buy them" "I bought them" He looks at her and sees her expensive clothing and realises that she is rich but he has to be completely sure "Can you show me your last bank purchase" Jellica shows the purchase on her phone "So it didnt malfunction, strange" "If that happened I would have reported it to a member of staff myself" Jellica had a pissed off smile because of the accusation "Then I can help you with your problem." The man pushes Jellica out of the chair and reveals a secret keyboard under the machine, and starts typing something in, Jellica looks over his shoulder to see what he was doing, and she was perplexed He was typing in lines of code at an incredible speed "Here" The man turned to her and showed her the screen "A use all draws button , that should solve this problem for the foreseeable future as well" The man slowly got up and got out of the chair and started heading out Jellica sat in the chair and used all her remaining draws "WONDER DRAW" The machine let out a happy robotic voice "Huh.." The man turns back to look at Jellica in surprise and is blinded by light falling to the floor "A wonder draw..?" The man''s face had a curious expression Light was being emitted from the machine''s screen, blinding everyone in the hotel "H-Holy Avenger" Jellica was hoping to get the holy avenger "YOU HAVE GOTTEN " "600,000,000 Common" "200,000,000 Uncommon" "185,000,000 Rare" "45 Legendary" "Huh..?" Jellica was suddenly disappointed by the number of legendary weapons as she checks the list again to be sure about the probability "Legendary Probability Rate : Super Low" She clenches the piece of paper in her hands as she is filled with rage "I don''t see why you''re showing anger" The tall man spoke behind her slowly getting up "You have gotten every common ,uncommon and rare weapon in the gacha poll, though you have only gotten 45 legendary weapons excluding the 3 legendary weapons you didn''t receive, you should be happy about the results" The man claps slowly at her success Jellica meanwhile scrambles to see if the Holy Avenger is among the legendaries "Cosmic Sword Of Chaos, Nebula Crusher, Fern Sword Of Restorationˇ­" Jellica checks all of them slowly scrolling the page "No, t-this can''t be true" The holy avenger was among the three she didn''t get ,including the Sea Break Greatsword and Goliath Usurper "NOOO" Jellica''s scream could be heard among the whole hotel "Jellica honey let''s head out" Her mom takes Jellica and they enter a presentation room and go take a seat to listen to the launch speech given by the developers "I am very glad that everyone has shown us such big support for our project, those here will get a reward He points to a table with disks of the [Clearance Online] exclusive version being guarded by a large man "But before that I would like to pay honor to our greatest supporters" Twelve people walked out from behind the stage and come next to the developers "These are the people who have shown their unlimited support by founding the game" The audience claps Her father was there on stage next to eleven others looking at jellica and her mother waving ˇ­ After the speech is done jellica heads out with her father and mother "Here is your copy of the game" A man hands her the disk and she takes it leaving the hotel "Maam ,may I take your purse to the car" The driver asks Jellica as she turns away "Noˇ­this is more important than your life" They all get in the car and head to their home "Father ,have you gotten the console for the game" Her fathers looks at her "Yes I have , i asked them for a second consule because you took a liking to it" Jellica was relieved she could play without any delay ˇ­ Jellica hurriedly ran through the enormous house and went to her room She sees the console is already there and starts assembling it "All done" As she was ready to insert the game disk a sudden sense of tiredness hit her causing her to knock out on the floor "Miss, MISS" The butler comes in the room to see jelica knocked out cold on the floor Jellica was taken off the floor and put on her bed to enjoy her dreams a little bit later ˇ­ Chapter 2 - Playing Around Jellica that morning had woken up with a headache but soon came to her senses "Freaking hell , I must have passed out" Jellica slowly gets off her bed and goes to turn on her tv "The launch of the new Vrmmo [Clearance Online] has everyone''s attention as it is soon going to go live with its first expansion right after its release" Jellica suddenly curious about the news looks up some more information, soon she discovers a new event within the game called [The Crucifiction] , a curious name Excluding the name there wasn''t any information other that it launched, "Lets just play" Jellica was disappointed as she hadn''t had any information about it since she never played the actual game and wasn''t keeping up with the news Jellica quickly puts on the headset and goes in game, she slowly feels her body shutting down and entering into the game world "Recording new data" 30% 97% 100% "Please customize your avatar" Jellica wakes up in a white room, she slowly looks around to find the source of the voice and finds a strange brown mouse with bat wings floating in the aie "Who are you?" Jellica thought this was some sort of joke ,a flying mouse, you''ve got to be kidding "I am the character customization guide Alister, at your service!" Jelica quickly gets up and looks to find a floating gray window in front of her "Hmm, strange" She sees a white mannequin displayed next to the window She sorts through it and finds out how to customise her character On the gray window there were seven clickable circles, hair , eyes, eyebrows , clothing , flare ,class and race "Out of all the options, flare is the most curious" "Rat, what''s this flare" The guide flies around Jessica''s body "Flare, is what decides your character''s strengths and weaknesses, flares can impact your future fighting style so choose wisely" "There are currently over 52 flares available at your disposal" Jellica first needs to decide on a flare for her character, she tries to remember if she knew Mia Clares flare but no luck "I need to choose one that benefits me the most" Jellica narrows down the number of flares that she thinks are important to two "Loved" "Grudgeful" ˇ­ Flare Type "Loved" -Your character''s [Likeable] stat is maxed out, -Aggression from NPCs and monsters is significantly lowered, -The chances of taming a monster increases if you chose the [Tamer] class ˇ­ Flare Type "Grudgeful" -When an enemy decreases your character''s hp to 0 you can use the amount of damage they dealt you as your final attack This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. -You can use the skill "Grudge of the Dead" Skill "Grude of the Dead" -If you have been defeated, the enemy who dealt the last blow takes damage equal to the amount of HP you have lost ˇ­ "Flying Rat Guide Thing, how many flares can one have" "A single character can have up to 3 flares, currently there is one flare slot unlocked so you can only equip one at the time" Jellica thought for a moment and she decided she must have all the advantages she can get "How do I unlock the remaining slots?" "Each slot costs 1000 in game gold" Jellica looked at the guide "Can I buy the gold for the slots?" The guide stops in mid air and posses "Requesting in-game purchase" Suddenly the guide speaks in a robotic voice and gold light flashes through its eyes and mouth "What" Was this normal for vr games or was this one the strange child Jellica thought A gold window appears in front of the guide depicting gold coins in warring amounts Jellica scrolls to the end to find the most gold she can buy is only 45,000, she clicks on it "Will you buy 45,000 gold for 500$" Jellica was surprised about the low price since one extra flare slot cost only 1000 golds "Yes, and I would like to buy it one hundred times" This may not seem necessary to some but anything helps, Jellica though this price was nothing compared to losing everything in the future thanks to this game along with her father being consumed by it for years She exits the window Current Gold Balance : 4,500,000 Gold "I would like to purchase the two flare slots now" Jellica made her purchase and selected the previous two flares "What should I choose for the third?" Jellica looked again and remembered one that caught her interest ˇ­ Flare Type "Awearness" -When an enemy or hostile NPC is in the vicinity ,it warns the player about its presence, enables the use of passive skill "Enemy Detection" -Skill "Enemy Detection" - A passive skills that warns your character about nearby enemies ˇ­ With this Jellica selected all the flares, then jellica quickly makes her avatar Jellica chose a gold haired blue eyed girl and her race and class was a succubus knight ˇ­ "A-a succubus how lewd!?!?" At first Jellica was embarrassed by the race but it best suited her flares and class so she had no choice, as for class she chose knight as it was the class Mia Clare had in the future, ˇ­ Race "Succubus" They are a race of people with purple pointed ears living within the demon territory, this race specialises in magic attacks on the mind, they have common association with seduction which is completely founded in myth though many cannot resist their magical charm -Class Skill "Charm" ˇ­ Class "Knight" Knights are valiant warriors specialising in attack,speed and defense, even though their magic potential is low compared to the other classes, though it more than overcomes them in physical attacks With the succubus race Jellica could overcome the disadvantages of being a knight with their magic while having the strength of a knight to overpower the succubuses low physical defense "Finally done and over with this" Jellica stretches her arms reading herself and then presses the create character button Suddenly small red cubs attach themselves to her body and transform her into the mannequin that was previously front of her Everything in the room shifts as she is transported to a city within the game "Good luck" The guide waves her goodbye as she starts her new journey .... ˇ­ Soon after Jellica wakes up in a bed in a stone room, she stands up feeling the stone bed beneath her, she takes a deep breath "I''m hereˇ­ but what''s up with this disgusting room" Jellica looks around and sees a door ,she heads to turn the knob and the door quickly opens, CLICK Jellica exits the room and finds herself face to face with a giant spider hanging from the sealing "Alarm : 1 Enemy Detected" "Garghgh" Jellica backs up and slams the door in its face "You have got to be kidding me" Jellica falls to the floor from the bs and something catches her eye, something shiny under the bed "What''s this" Jellica picks it up and sees it in an old cracked mirror "Why is a mirror here?" Jellica looks at herself in the mirror and is surprised by seeing another person Text appears next to the mirror ˇ­ Item Name "Cracked mirror" Type "Trash" A old mirror left by the previous occupant of this room ˇ­ Jellica sat on the stone thinking if she should face the spider and heads out in a bout of courage "Grghdgh" The spider appears again but this time Jellica swings at it with the rings of her characters finger indenting in the spiders face and a big red 52 appears above its head "Squeal" "That''s what you get ,you bastard" The monster falls on the ground and explodes into transparent red cubes which absorb into Jellica"s body Lv 1 > Lv2 "I''ve levelled up already, it seems I''m progressing smoothly" Jellica now stands in a empty hall that stretched into two directions, she soon fixes this problem by spinning her body, she lands on the left side of the hall "It''s decided, I''m going to go left" Jellica heads down the hall and soon encounters a large room with a giant statue of a gargoyle which had blue jewels as eyes "I have seen many jewels ,but this one is beautiful. I wonder, if only I could somehow get this out of the game" As Jellica was turning away from the statue a notification pops up "Alarm : 1 Enemy Detected" Jellica''s awareness flare had activated, she looks behind shoulder to find a pair of red glowing eyes looking at her from the gargoyle statue which now had an enormous grin plastered in its face "You know that thing about being impressed, well that wasn''t true ,you''re ugly" The statue as if understanding Jellica''s words fires a red petrifying beam from its eyes as Jellica was running away she suddenly trips and slips on the floor "I am going to lose to that ugly statue, I can''t believe it" Jellica in all despiraty feels something in her pocket ,she quickly takes it out and throws it at the gargoyle face, SHING The broken mirror flies in the air and reflects the petrifying beam back at the gargoyle statue "Arghhhh" Above the gargoyle statue appears a red 1588 decreasing its HP to 0 ,as its howls stop Jellica opens her eyes finding the monster dead at last "So a cracked mirror can reflect a death beam in this game?" Jellica gets off the ground and dusts herself off "That doesn''t seem right" Lv2 > Lv4 Unlocked Race Skill "Charn
