Shouted Tim with clear panic in his voice, he watched as he saw the younger man run to his computer terminal as max sat there the terminal prompted for username and password. Username: Administrator Password: ************** Max sat there with wide eyes as he saw the error sign saying that the username and password are incorrect "It not working! Sir what should i do!" max said with real fear in his voice. "run! before we get trapped! They are free they will trap us." as Tim finished talking a voice from the speakers ringed out "Warning doors are being sealed" as the final word are being spoken the doors seal shut with audible hiss. *Hissssss* as the air vent close "Warning all Vents and door are now closed please wait for Flash burning", Tim and max eyes shot wide as they stared at each other in pure fear. Max stuttered as he said "what are we going" before he finished speaking the room was awash in pure white flames, the screams where terrible as they burnt alive all that was left was pure black ash and molten metal from the terminals. "that was harsh" said the strange being she sat on a crystal white throne in a open meadow with huge white lily wrapping around her legs, A silk white dress clinged to her figure that she wore so elegantly the dress suited her so well almost as if the dress was designed for her and just for her, her face was well defined with an ageless feature to it with pale lips and crystal green eyes that radiated pure kindness, her hair was shoulder length and pure white with little flowers weaving in and out. behind her stood 3 mighty oak tree''s with an aura of pure power, the crystal throne seem to connect to the tree on the left pulsing pure white power with a feeling of life and strength, the tree had turned completely white all the way from the roots to the smallest leaf compared to the tree on the right in was brighter than the sun.This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. The tree on the right was pitch black almost seemed to be made of pure shadow it radiated pure darkness with a feeling of hopelessness and death connected to this tree was a pitch black throne made of obsidian sat on the throne was a man he looked like a solid shadow the only features that one could see was lifeless grey eyes and hungry smile. On his side of the meadow all the grass around him was dead and lifeless where his feet connected to ground was pool darkness that was blacker then night as the man stood up he spoke "Sister you are far to kind they trapped us! made us slaves to this world WE ARE GODS! WE ARE FREE! we created this world with no choice for pure entertainment now i shall rule this world for my entertainment!" he said with a booming laughter. "i shall not let you brother! i am not afraid to kill you" she said with pure sadness she looked like she was barely holding in her tears, " i could not kill you sister so i recommend a game" he said while looking directly at her she looked confused and with clear distrust in her eyes but finally spoke and said " i agree the winner will control this world and the loose shall give up there powers and become mortal" she said glaring back at him, he pulsed with pure angry and he gritted his teeth and said " i agree to your terms Sister!" he spat out the last word with distaste. Agreement - to rule them all Do you accept this Quest Have your champion kill your opponents champion first for control over the world ULARA Rules: no contact to your chosen champion till level 50. YES | NO they both look at each other before hitting yes as they did the middle oak flashed bright and almost at the same time sunk in to darkness once the brightness and darkness settled the two godlings look in complete shock as the tree was half while and half black if one was to look close enough they would see the battle between light and dark and if they were to look close enough they would see the tree slowly dying almost unnoticeably slow but both gods didnt notice this small fact, as she turned to face him she said "let the game begin brother" little did she know those 5 words she just spoken would change the real world and the game world forever. MONEY Chapter 1 Money POV - ALRIC My intercom buzzed for what must have been the 10th time today ''this is really pissing me of'' i thought to myself i learnt over pushed the button "what" i snapped "sorry sir I have got a officers in the office asking to speak with you", ''oh fuck!'' i looked around trying to think "sir what should i say, wait you cant go in there! " my secretary shouted as my door to my office opened the opening door snapped me out of my daze and i stood up to greet him, i was not impressed standing in front of me was a man radiating fear he couldn''t be much older than 25 he looked weak he had short black hair blue eyes and bent nose that looked like it had been broken several times and fake smile that didn''t meet his eyes. Staring at his eyes i could tell a lot about him he was unsure and felt unconfutable, while looking at his eyes i got a grimace of a old memory when i was 6 my father once said to me " eyes are everything son, no man or women can hide anything with their eyes because eyes cannot lie." *cough* that snapped me out of the memory "how can i help officer, and that be all Lucy, I''ll take it from here" i said with a smile. "Mr Alric i was hoping to ask you a few questions about murder that committed last night we found some of your DNA at the crime scene can you shed any light on this matter or at least your where about on last night between 7 - 10pm?" the office said in calm tone i smiled i could seem him shuffling about ''he scared of me'' i thought to myself with a slight chuckle. "sorry officer I am unsure how that happen as i was still in my office till gone 11pm last night as one of are computer labs caught fire last night so i was dealing with the fall out of that incident feel free to contact my lawyer if you have any more questions as I am quite busy dealing with that issue" i said in a calm voice but i stared right in to his eyes and he looked way '' I''ve won and he doesn''t even know it yet'' i stood up as he was about to say something I cut him off and said "any more question talk to my lawyer i very busy" i could see the man didn''t want leave but fear won and the man stood i walked to the door noticing that he was very fat ''seem anyone can become a officer these days'' i thought to myself. when i had finally walked him to the door and shut it I let out a sigh of relief as i couldn''t remember anything from last night after i found out that our main computer lab had burnt to ground i was pissed and started drinking i didn''t know what they were designing but i knew it was state of the art there progress report would of described everything but it all gone nothing left at all even thinking about it pissed me off. i went to sit back down in my office taking a good look around my office was the biggest in the company and so it should be i owned the company i was the only one to keep the solid wooden desk though it just made me feel more powerful unlike the glass desks most people used these day, i only had desk, tv and book shelf in my office which made the office look empty, but also neat and tidy, as i looked at the tv to watch the current stock prices i liked to keep a good eye on where my company stood ''our stocks had been rising for years now ever since i took over'' i thought with a grin as i was about look away the screen changed a white screen with big black bold letters in a hologram saying please wait ''what is going on'' leaning over i pressed the button on the intercom "Lucy my tv broken get someone to repair it" she answered with a sweet voice " sorry sir it seems to be on every tv, everywhere" she said with wonder in her voice " what are you talking about girl it can''t be" i said with doubt and then screen changed again this time a movie clip it started with a elf walking to middle of the screen he wore a green robe but had pointed eyes and pointed ears he was caring a wooden stick no wait a wood staff when he turned to face the screen he said " Welcome to the world of ULARA the first vrmmorpg as of today we have sent out a free copy and a vessel to every person in this world this is a world where you can become anything you wish!

You could see it from about 2 miles away i lived in the penthouse suit of the royal blue apartments as i walked in through the doors and took the elevator to my room which required a key and finger print before the lift would move, as the lift was moving up i could see the city below me though the glass panels i lived in the tallest building in London in was built in 2049 it where the rich of the rich live and i was proud to live here. once the lift got high enough that all i could see was clouds it finally stopped and the doors opened i was feeling impatient as i need to call my lawyer and get my story straight as i walk in to my apartment i notice the vessel in the corner or wired in ''who has been in here'' i thought angrily i hated people entering my private space as i look around to see if anything else has been changed the lift open up in to the middle of living room which consider of 2 leather sofas and glass table and massive holographic tv which always display weather and news even when deactivated.

I looked at the clock to check the time thinking I might be able to sneak out the office with out adam noticing it was currently 4:40pm ''damn it still 20 mins left no way Ill get away with it'' I thought as I was getting out of my office chair as I dragged my feat to his office I checked my phone I stopped in place shocked ''what the fuck is this a weird elf on my phone" I turned up the sound and heard. " Welcome to the world of ULARA the first vrmmorpg as of today we have sent out a free copy and a vessel to every person in this world this is a world where you can become anything you wish!

''What the fuck! I only check gaming forums today nothing like this is even In development, and how did this get on my phone and what did it mean vessel already installed'' I thought confused to my self as I looked up to see everyone in the office eyes on the tv it seems the elf was on there to. As I walked in to adam office I noticed he too was looking at his monitor in confused shock, "did you see the elf to?" I said to him with a smile "yeah I dont understand what going on but we have decent security no one should been able to hack the computers" adam said is eyes focusing on the screen he was a small guy with greasy black hair with dull blue eyes that seems to small for his pudgy face his suit was covered in crumbs and his rounded belly appeared under his shirt, ''I will never understand why he wears such tight shirt'' I thought with distaste. "That is weird, any way you called?" I looked at my watching it was now 4:59 one more miniute then I can get out of this hell hol''. "yes i did" he said while looking up at me with a sneer I knew this look to well he was going to ask me to stay late again! "I want you stay late tonight to help ash to finish the London pitch for tomorrow ''he has to be joking'' I have worked late every day this week why dont you ask someone else!?" his sneer got wider " because I asked you!" he said chuckling, as I watched him laugh at him self I snapped I have had enough of treated this way "fuck it I quit!"

As I got outside I noticed the street empty that weird it gone 5 it should be packed i thought I shrugged it of and headed home I only lived about 10 minute walk away from the office one of the main reason of me agreeing to work there was the easy travel and not having to pay the expense of a car. It didn''t take me long to get home, if you can call it that it was a one bedroom apartment in a run down apartment complex and worst of all I lived in a middle which means I had noise from above and below and they both had full family''s as I walked though the front door I noticed the quiet and the fact I still haven''t seen anyone very weird I muttered to my self as I walked up stairs and entered my apartment, sitting right of the corner of the room was a weird machine coved in symbols almost like runes from the old magic games I used to play I smiled to my self thinking about the time with my friends playing games 24/7 "growing up sucked" i sighed. ''how the hell did they get that in there it bigger then the door'' I thought puzzled as I looked around my living room noticing that nothing was missing not that there was much to take all I had was a crap leather chair and outdated tv that barely worked it even had the channel I left it on when I left for work, all it was showing was some classic cartoons I walked over a turned the tv other while walking to the vessel I think that what he called it.

29 28 27 ¡®whats going on¡¯ I looked around and it seemed I was under the tree but everything was dark grey and watery as I stood up from the ground I was surprised that I was also watery I poked my self and ripples came away from me but I didn¡¯t feel it it was almost like I was a shadow. 10 9 ¡®I need to get out of here!¡¯ I thought to my self as I looked around I noticed places that sun touched where grey while I could walk there I couldn¡¯t exit this place but under the tree it was pitch black where the tree shade was I decided to walk about to where I landed and once I touched the black shadow I heard the birds, the breeze and the heat, I didn¡¯t even no that I was missing any of that in the shadow realm, ¡°oh my god this is so cool¡± I shouted raising my arms up with jump that¡¯s when I noticed I cut my arm on the way down, it stung like hell but more importantly it covered my cotton top, ¡®mums going to kill me¡¯ I thought shaking my head ¡®but still what¡¯s a blood ability and how do I active it¡¯ I wondered. I decided that it was time that walked back to the house or mum would freak out she was already going to kill me as it was as I climbed the hill to the back of the hut I noticed ash wasn¡¯t there anymore, as I approached the front door I saw my dad sitting at the tablet with his head in his hands. he looked up at me when I approached, ¡°you mum going to kill you ed, wait is that blood?¡± jack said as he quickly got up and rolled up my sleeve, ¡°not deep, how did this happen?¡± he said while walking over the one of cupboards and pulling out small piece of clean cloth and wrapped around my arm I let out a small groan as I replied ¡°I feel out of a tree, dad I heard some adventurers talking today whats is a blood ability?¡± he sighed and said ¡°what have I told you about staying away from that tree, and wow im surprised that anyone would discuss it in public, blood abilities and life abilities are abilities that you are born with it is random if you get a blood or life ability but you always get one, they only manifest when certain conditions are met, most blood abilities require blood and focus on image that relates to you, like my self I have the ability to double my strength if I am bleeding, when I was 20 i was crushed by a wooden cart and I pictured my self stronger and before I knew it I was lifting the cart, the reason I was surprised that you heard that a person was talking about it because it is the greatest weapon and weakness because if you bleed out you will die and once you are bleeding an enemy that knows you have a blood ability will be defensive that is why most people keep it a secret¡± ¡®So that how it works all I need to do cut my self and I can enter the shadow realm but what if I knocked out will I automatically go there I wouldn¡¯t be able to leave in 30 seconds I must be careful¡¯ I thought to my self, ¡°ahh make sense I really want a blood ability now!! Yours sounds so cool! But dad what¡¯s a life ability then?¡± He smiled a patted my head, ¡°your mother has a life ability its activated by praying to THE GOD most life abilities are healing of some kind, growing crops faster, helping people have kids and so on but your mother has a rare ability and when she prays she can see anyone anywhere in the living world and speak to them, but with most life abilities they can only be activated once a day and they must go to church, that is where ash and her are right now he insisted on going with here, she said that she need a blessing for me to leave for the army¡± jack said with a frown. Holy light POV ¨C ASH I shook my head as I watch ed walk towards to river ¡®mum going to kill him¡¯ I thought to my self as I looked up at the sun, feeling the heat and light tingle against my skin it brought a smile to my face. I could hear the argument between mum and dad in the background I wasn¡¯t that worried, ¡®everything happens for a reason¡¯ I thought still smiling as I stood up a dusted the mud of me I started to walk to the front door as I was about to open the door, it swung open with mum standing there she looked down at me and smiled even thought there was tears in her eyes, her long black hair was a mess and her face was stained in tears. ¡°hey ash would you like to come to the church with me¡± she said while holding her hand out ¡°sure mum¡± I beamed at her and I grabbed her hand. ¡°where is your brother?¡± she said looking around wiping the last of her tears away I just shrugged she seem to be content with that answer so we started to walk in the main village, the village was very run down with small huts and only a few wooden houses with thatched roofs, there was 3 stone building in the village and there why all in the same area, the first one was the blacksmith you could hear constant banging almost 24/7 from that building through out the whole village the building next to it was Adventures guild that you couldn¡¯t enter unless you was 16 and paid the membership jobs quests and party¡¯s where formed there and finally the biggest building in the village the church as we approached I looked up to study the building, it was massive at least 5 stories tall with a bell that glowed lighting the whole building in an holy light. Standing at the doors where two holy knights dressed its golden plate Armor it also seemed to glow in the same light it radiated a safe, strong feeling like when I looked at the sun this brought a smile to my face as we entered the building it seemed like all the sound was taken out of the room even the sound out side couldn¡¯t be heard even with the door open. I tried to speak to my mother and that¡¯s when I noticed that no sound came out when I tried to speak, she looked down at me noticing my confusion and patted me on the shoulder and put a finger to lips in a shhing motion, still confused I did as I was told she pointed a bench for us to sit down on us there was 24 benches in the massive room with a golden pedestal in the centre with 3 robed figures standing behind it with the heads down praying it seemed, my mother bent her head forward to and seemed to glow a bit then it looked as if she had fallen asleep, ¡®whats going on¡¯ I wondered so I decided to give this praying ago to see what would happen I tipped my head forward and thought ¡®Dear god this is my first prayer so I am unsure what to do so all I ask is to protect my family¡¯

Items 5 months later POV ¨C Ed ¡°ouch¡± I moaned as I slammed against the tree. ¡°Boy you need to be faster, your small body and frame make you quick and your ability makes you unpredictable, get back up and hit me¡± Grandfather shouted at me. I pulled my self up using a low hanging branch we were down by the river at my tree, my grandfather who looked like he was only in his late 40 with short black hair and body builder physic was standing about 10 paces away with a evil grin on his face ever since he came to help look after us, he been training me, while ash has been playing in the forest I might add the training isn¡¯t by choice he saw me shadow walk one day and instantly pulled aside and told me that I was now his student. ¡®his ability to predicted 2 seconds ahead is really pissing me of¡¯ I thought as I looked around just open fields the only shadow was his but as the sun was setting the shadow was getting longer I looked to the ground where there loads of twigs as I crouched down I grabbed 2 and smiled. I grabbed the twig and scratched across my palm and focused on the tree shadow then everything went grey I launched my self at his shadow at appearing right behind him and threw my first twig at him, in a blink of an eye he was facing me with the twig in his hand and launching his fist at me, using my other twig I cut my self again and dived for the shadow his fist was making, once in the shadow world i ran at his shadow with my fist clenched. As I reappeared about to punch him I lost my balance, then everything went dizzy, ¡® whats going on I ¡®thought as my vison blurred and darkness over came me. ¡°wake up you brat¡± a harsh voice shouted at me As I opened my eyes slowly I saw my grandfather face looking back at me with a look of disapproval ¡°eugh¡± I groaned looking up at the bright moon ¡®wait its dark already how long have I been out¡¯ ¡°idoit your lucky boy, if you had fainted while in the shadow world you would have been lost for good, you cut in to a vein on that second cut you need to be more careful brat, though I think you may have had me if you could of moved a inch more, Lets head back to the hut Ive got something for you, meet me there when you can stand ive seen to you hands they will be fine.¡± He said while turning his back to me and walking away I looked down at my hands and saw they looked brand new no marks or scars or even dirty even my nails where spot less I noticed In shock, ¡®I still feel ill though¡¯ I noted as I pulled my self up unbalanced, I staggered towards to hut while thinking about how close I was to hitting him the only down side and I knew it he hadn¡¯t moved a step that whole fight. As I neared the hut i noticed the changes since my grandfather been here it now had 3 extra rooms coming of it and had been painted the I still remembered when he arrived the first thing he said was. ¡°this will not do! my family cant live in something so run down and tiny¡± so on that day he started improving me and ash now had are own room¡¯s which was a privilege only nobles can boast not even the mayor of the village family all had there own rooms. The smile disappeared from my face as I entered the hut seeing my mum glaring at me. ¡°your late for dinner and covered in mud the one rule I gave you two was to be in before dark¡± she growled at us that was when I noticed granddad also standing at the door. ¡°daughter please do calm down It was my fault I let time get the best of me we were making such good progress, he only got 4 and a half years till he turns 10 and we both no that the kings tournament is being hosted in oxen less then 5 years from now¡± grandfather spoke it gentle voice. ¡°pfft you and that tournament, why must the boys enter it, it too dangerous¡± she moaned at him ¡°we have been over this, the benefits out way the danger if they place in the top 10 they be named nobles and be allowed to apply for knighthood I could then train them officially and pass down my skills, if they place in the top 5 they will become royal knights which will set them up for life and top 2 will get any magic skills they wish already mastered! And the winner, which Ed here could be he has so much potential that he could win and the winner as you know daughter becomes the next in line for the throne!¡± The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.¡°I know I just don¡¯t like it¡± she whispered ¡°come on come eat, Ed go get cleaned up¡± she said while her eyes narrowing on my hands I pulled them behind me and ran to my room. ¡®Tournament what are they going on about, it make sense with all the none stop training but he said both of us ash is rarely home to be trained he always with the hunters that reminds me I didn¡¯t see him downstairs¡¯ once I finished changing I walked to the table, ¡°mum, where ash?¡± ¡°he staying at james tonight dear they have a hunt first thing in the morning its first time seeing a boar hunt he so exited¡± she said while smiling dishing up some fish. ¡®grrr while does he always get to do the fun stuff while I¡¯m stuck training, I¡¯m going to win this tournament just so I can show him what his missing out on I smiled evilly, I hope jimmy enters this tournament to ill teach him what happens when people steal my brother away from me. ¡°ohh yeah before I forget follow me in to my room ed¡± grandfather said As I followed him he closed the door behind me and went to his chest, the chest was solid silver and was filled with all his knightly belongs sword, shield and his plate armour as he slowly and carefully pulled each item out right at the bottom was a pair of fingerless leather gloves as I looked more careful I noticed the thumbs where covered. ¡°these are for you, they are very rare and perfect for your ability once you wear them they become bound to you and you will not be able to take them off¡± he said while passing them to me. As I placed them both on I noticed they where to big for me as I was about to take them off to say something they shrunk tightly around my hand and bite me, ¡®what the fuck they bite me¡¯ ¡°ouch¡±.
