--Ever since the release of the Virtual Reality Game - Royal Road, it became a huge breakthrough to the history of gaming especially to the life of many players who wants to experience a virtually fabricated environment where all of their dreams and fantasies could come true. A virtual environment where you can do things you can’t do in real life like visiting and relaxing on beautiful places that only exist on the said VR game, experience special effects that you can only see in movies and games like using magic, fighting and killing monsters or even players and most of all become an Emperor in which the game’s itself main goal.
Imagine yourself where you can control and rule a whole continent.
Not only that, you can also earn real money from it. Not bad eh?
--Many people regardless of their age or occupations immersed themselves in Royal Road, even with their busy schedules - they still find time to play and relax. But there are people who aren’t really interested in games. Not because they feel that they are behind in the advancements on technologies but because they find it a waste of time or a waste of money so they’d rather focus on their livelihoods or on their families.
--There are also people who are very interested to experience the game where almost all people are talking about, even though they don’t know a thing about games.
But we all know that it doesn’t matter whether you know how to play or not. Everything can be learned as long as you are willing to. And of course, everyone starts as a Beginner. But who knows what kind of future or path can a Beginner take or even create?
My name is Mew.
I live a simple yet serious kind of life.
Every day is a repetition of home-school-home routine which most people will think that I have a pretty boring life for a guy.
Even when I was a kid, my parents are very strict when it comes to my studies.
Strict when it comes to my friends, and in almost everything.
Until now that I am 21 and a university student at that.
I know that all of their efforts are all for me and to my future. But there’s this times where all you can say is, “I’m really tired of this crap. When can I get out of this cycle?!”
Yes, we all have those times I guess.
Aside from that, there are also times where I feel that there’s something big I’m missing.
Yes, games.
Almost all of my schoolmates are talking about this game called Royal Road.
I don’t know a thing about computer games especially this Virtual Game they are talking about.
I do have my computer but I only use it for researching and stuff and playing games on it never crossed my mind.
Maybe because my mind is only trained to study and nothing else?
So every time my friends talk about this game, irritation comes to me. They are having fun talking about how great this dungeon thing they entered and what kind of crap they obtained inside it and I don’t know what they are talking about!
All I can do is shut up and feel so behind.
I wondered to myself why do I felt so behind. I’m good at my studies, I’m one of the top students and I am not that bad-looking. Just so why am I so behind because of a mere game?
Before, I was a little irritated but I didn’t let it to get to me.
It was before the start of the new semester and I have to enroll my new subjects so I came early. It’ll be a hassle if there’re a lot of people before me.
I was in my 3rd year in college and I am taking Economics. To my surprise, the dean included a subject that caught my attention. It was “Introduction to Virtual Reality.”
What the heck is the relation of Virtual Reality to my field of study?
“Excuse me Sir… Can I ask why do I have that subject relating to Virtual Reality?”
“Ah, it’s in our course curriculum now. All Universities are adopting this system to introduce and educate students about the new advancement in technology which is the Virtual Reality.”
“You mean teach us how to play?”
“That’s part of it. But we are talking about the future possibilities in which Virtual Reality can be a complete part of our daily lives. It is possible in the future that most of the jobs can also be done in Virtual Reality where you don’t need to go your office to work rather you can stay at home and work. You’ll know what I’m talking about when the new semester starts.”
“…”
In my head, the only thing I can conclude on that is, it’ll make us people lazy.
“Okay, 6 subjects all in all. Here you go…”
“Uh, Thank you Sir..”
“No problem. Next!”
Sigh. I never thought that there will be a time that I will start playing games.
I still don’t understand a thing about it.
But what can I do? It’s already there.
Maybe I’ll try asking my friends about it and maybe for the first time, I’ll buy those things they use to play it. I need to prepare at the least before I go to that subject. It’s better to know a little something about it than knowing nothing at all.
For one week I researched about Royal Road, all its rules and some basic stuffs about it, and I learned that I need a capsule to play it.
So I went to the pharmacy…
No, just kidding. I purchased one in the internet.
And they delivered it after a day.
I can’t explain my feelings.
This is the first time I bought something expensive for a mere game.
But honestly I’m a little excited.
Because I want to know why my friends are so absorbed in this game and somehow, I also want to join in their conversations.
So I read the instructions in the manual and now, for the first time, I’ll try playing a game.
“This is it… This is really really is it.”
“Phew! I can’t believe I am so ignorant about this.”
I entered the capsule and started it.

His future depends on you.
To be continued…
Thank you for reading the prelude of “The Beginner”!
You may find this project unusual because it ask the readers suggestions and votes on how the story progresses. In short, the MC’s story will mostly be based on the reader’s decision and participation!
I’m still a new writer and it seems that this kind of project is a little too high level for me but I’ll try my best to make it better for your satisfaction. But to do that, I will be needing your help.
If you want to help me develop the character or develop the story itself, you are more welcome and your efforts will be much appreciated. We all know that brainstorming scenarios here and there is really brain-wracking so I really appreciate it if you are willing to help. So if you are, please leave me a message below or send me a PM. I’ll try and respond as soon as I can.
Thank you so much!
Voting is Open for 2-3 days. You can also add more choices on the Poll because so far there are 49 races available including the normal and hidden or locked races. But I’ll be ignoring those choices that aren’t really possible in the game.
The highest votes will be the race the MC will choose.
So Vote wisely J
Again Thank you!
