《EIRN Dolgas》 Prologue - Mitosis ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Eirn Dolgas ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Humanity is now extinct in it''s original form. Humankind now exist only in the form of data, living in a massive virtual reality. They don''t even call themselves human anymore, they prefer to be called Sevren. The virtual reality they live in is called the Niarb, fully managed by the Noruen. During the eight''s expansion process of the Niarb, a new Xetroc was opened for all Sevren according to historical research on human history. For the record, with each new expansion of the Niarb come a new Xetroc. This new one is based on what is actually named as a VRMMO (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online) and it''s operating name is Eirn-Dolgas. 054855682 his a type B, categorized has an average individual with an income of 3 terabytes a day for his personal expansion. To enter Eirn-Dolgas you have to prepare 2 terabytes for your character and you need to anticipate for the split. Because of their digital existence, Sevren''s can split their existence in multiple beings with self-awareness or not. This process is used for designing a child or making a clone with partial mental connection allowing someone to work and play in the case of 054855682. From the moment the Sevren''s original existence created his clone the game began. "Welcome to our new advanced entertainment Xetroc Eirn-Dolgas. We will now proceed step by step to the activation of your character. Due to the actual state of exploration of the new world, you can only choose between the six races that are described in front of you. Please tell me when have chosen one." An grey screen popped in front of 054855682''s ethereal form. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Race actual choice in Eirn-Dolgas : - Human, occupying most of the discovered land. Growth rate increased. - Dwarf, living in the mountains. Craftsmanship easily understood. - Elf, dispersed in nature. Affinity with nature is at a higher level. - Orc, wandering around plains. Brutality enhanced. - Zeloth, managing most of the temple around. Divine affiliation. - Asmod, fallen angels minions descending from the sky. Flying ability. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª "I think I will go with Human race." "You choose Human''s, are you sure you want to be a human ?" "Yes." "Human race picked, advancing to body personification. Would you like to see some random human beings ?" "I would appreciate it !" "Due to the data consumption please answer some question to narrow done the calculations. Which gender would you prefer ?" "Male." "Thank you. Which hair color would you like ?" "I don''t know." "Thank you. Which eye color ?" "This too, I don''t know." "Thank you. We will start the randomization of your appearance. Please be wary that you will only be presented with three choices because you only answered once." Three human male bodies started to appear before him. The first one with long black hair with a face to cute to be a male. The second one was to small he would have trouble running with this tiny body. At least their was the third one of average size, strawberry blonde hair, opal eyes, thin body but well built. The only problem of the third one would probably that it was beardless, even naked their was no trace of hair''s on his body. Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there. ''It could be a problem in winter but I will just have to buy clothes.'' "I will take the third one, the ginger one." "Understood. Transferring into the new body in progress ..." It was suddenly dark, 054855682 couldn''t see a thing. "Tting. You''re now fully transferred into your new body. Due to the nonexistence of a previous body you''ve been teleported in the adaptation room. Beginning adaptation tutorial. Body primary function has been automatically learned. Please try opening your eyes for the first time." 054855682 tried visualizing the different muscles in his body, trying to establish a connection with the eyes muscles. ''It''s hard to picture something I never had until now but I''m feeling new sensation with each new data waves so it''s fine.'' He finally began to see a thin ray of light before him when electrifying some parts of the body he was in. Continuing the effort he then began to see. There was a infinite grassland right before his eyes. On top of the grassland was a huge blue sky without even a cloud and far away up his head was the two bright suns. He learned to name the things of this new world by instantly downloading all the data about it. Of course not everything is included in the package but all the essential is included in it. ''Amazing, such a beautiful world ... It really is an outstanding work. The number of Sevren working on this Xetroc must be enormous, I need my half to try entering it.'' Since the link between each part of an individual is permanent and instantaneous, the worker part of 054855682 immediately started contacting Eirn-Dolgas managers. A woman materialized in front of 054855682''s body. "Hello, my name is Titania, I''m here to assist you during the adaptation tutorial phase. Nice to meet you, what name will you be wearing in this new body of yours ?" "I din''t really think of one. Would Rawer be okay ?" "You can choose any name, but i think this one suits you perfectly." "You''re a NPC, aren''t you ?" "Why do you ask ? Of course I''m a NPC but are you perhaps thinking that I may be saying that just to please you ?" "Are you ?" "No, I''m not ! I am one of the few NPC given an AI because of my job in helping new players to configure and adapt their bodies. In definition my judgement is more accurate and honest than another Sevren." "Okay, I''ll follow your judgement and play under this name." "Thanks for your consideration, you will now be called Rawer when using this body to play in Eirn-Dolgas." "Tting..." ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Character Name : Rawer Alignment : Neutral Profession : None Title : None Level : 1 Fame : 0 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Health : 100 Mana : 100 Strength : 10 Agility : 10 Vitality : 10 Wisdom : 10 Intelligence : 10 Charisma : 5 Luck : 5 Offence : 5 Defense : 5 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Magic Resistance: None ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª "What you''re seeing now is your stat window. It contains all the statistical indicators on your new body." Chapter 01 - Life misconception ''What am I supposed to do now ?'' Rawer was a little lost, of course he downloaded part of the manual named -How to be an Eirnen ? - but it was a lot more complicated than just reading a simple book. When you''re confronted with an entire new environment, the first sensation an average human would feel is probably fear ... end that''s what is happening to Rawer right now. He was submerged by an overwhelming sensation that constricted his entire soul, incapable of thinking clearly. Titania : "H..... Hell..... Hello, ar.... Hey, are yo..... Hey Rawer listen to my voic....... RAWER" slapping Rawer''s face. Rawer : "..." Titania : "Are you listening now ?" Rawer : "..." shaking his head Titania : "It''s probably fear, I''m not sure because I''m deprived of this type of feelings, but for the previous entries I operated it seems to be pretty standard. Most people can''t fight it so the best solution we have is a physical stimulus. Sorry that I had to hurt you." worrying that it could upset me. Rawer : "..." Titania : "Seems like you''re experiencing fears aftereffects now." Rawer then sighed making a thoughtful face before looking more closely at the new grey windows that popped before him, there was two.
Warning !
Warning !
During the period of time fears aftereffects took to wear off, Titania had a strange behavior. She had her mind completely switched, the gorgeous woman was now dressed as a leather like police officer with a whipping the air. Titania : "It''s to increase your tolerance to fear aftereffects." -:- I''m not going to explain it in details, but it implies various objects with complex forms, a lot of constraint and some sort of octopus like creature. Maybe in a side story will I explain how it was done, time will give us the answer. -:-

Information
Rawer : "I think I need to thank you Titania, your method worked." Titania : "No reason for that, I have experience with new players and it proved to be the most effective way to do it." Rawer : "Okay ... so what''s next ?" Titania : "Oh yes, the configuration .... You need to pick a location to start your journey. you have two possible choice at the moment because of the early stage of discovery the continent is in right now. There is two cities, one specialized in non-magical features, with a lot of warriors and craftsmen. The other city is based on magical secrets, so it has mostly magic users, alchemists and artists living in. Each town belong to a nation but I''m not allowed to give you detailed information about any of the two, because the aren''t aware of each other at the time we speak. On the other hand I can explain benefits and drawbacks of using magic or not using it." Stolen story; please report.Rawer : "... I''m aware of the assets of magic and made my choice before coming, i will choose the magical based one. What''s the name of my new living territory ?" Titania : "You will have all essential information in a few minutes. You will now be teleported to your new play ground, enjoy human life." smiling. Rawer''s view blurred and then everything was white, except for a grey window with orange letters written.
Teleportation in progress ...
Then the white light started fading away, leaving a majestic scenery in is stead. A huge castle was standing right before his eyes. He was standing in a place filed with a lot of human''s appearing out of nowhere preceded by some strange blueish fog with little flash of lights. He thought this was the teleportation process. Looking around he saw some stalls all around with people urging to buy their goods and a fountain placed in the center of the plaza seemed to attract the new players like cheese attract flies. There also were stables on the southeastern corner, the pace being surrounded by a path flanked on one side by the stalls and on the other by buildings hosting some tidy shops in the lower levels and probably apartments on the upper levels. The most outstanding feature of the town was the material used in it''s architecture, it looked like the entire city was molded in one piece of metallic alloy with what seemed like magic imbued devices embedded in some location like in the case of a magical shops in the middle of the western flank of the plaza that said : << Enigma magica | Magical tools >> That''s toward were Rawer started to walk, attracted by the luminescent banner which seemed to say "come to me !". Passing by the front door you end up in front of a long counter with a strange looking man standing behind it. Strange man : "Hello sir, how may I helppp you ?" Rawer : "Hi, could you tell me more about this place please?" Strange man : "Gladly sir, you''re currently in my humble store Enigma magica, we currently sell a large variety of articles used in all kinds of magical arts. It goes from the simple wand and tunic used during apprenticeship to staff and robes used by Archmage and the like." Rawer : "Thanks for the information but in all honesty I''m more interested about some information on the city around your store." Strange man : "Oh in this the only information I can give you is that you''re currently in Ligien, the city of magic, capital of the Leginen kingdom, cradle of metal magic. The first thing to do for newcomers like yourself is to find the novice settlement and start your training in the discipline of your choice. It is neither an obligation, neither a necessity but most of you newcomers are starting that way." A new window appeared in front of Rawer.
