"WELCOME TO GREAT WORLD ONLINE!!! WHERE ALL YOUR DAYS WILL BE FILLED WITH ADVENTURE!!! SO LIVE IT LIKE ITS YOUR LAST!!!"
That was the first message Dourian saw when he opened the game for the first time...Little did he know this...Would be akin to a decree of death...
July 8th, 2455, 10:02 am
Location - O'Sirus Estate
"Dude, wake up!!! Great World Online drops SOON and I'm trying to get into queue and I won't start without you so WAKE UP!!!" Austin screams over the communicator with excitement coursing through his voice.
Dourian turns over to see his communicator blinking with an urgent voice memo from his best friend since pre-kinder calculus, Austin O'Sirus, he groggily turns down the alert.
"Aus, did you have to send it as urgent? I wasn't trying to wake up so early." He says wiping the sleep from his eyes.
"Of course I had to send it as urgent!!! You only get to experience the opening day of a game with as much promise as Great World Online once in your life, Dourian!!!"
"I get it I get it but do you have to yell so loud I can barely hear my own thoughts." His head throbbing from the alert as it had forcefully fired his neurons.
"OF COURSE I HAVE TO YELL!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW EXCITED I AM THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT'S HAPPENED TO ME SINCE CELESTE BROKE UP WITH ME!!" He says even louder than before.
"Didn't you cry for two weeks when she did that even when you were the one that cheated?" Dourian asks sarcastically.
"Uh...I do recall something similar, but you don't understand Diana could suck the color off a mango seed. BUT BACK TO THE MATTER AT HAND." Austin says as if he's trying to remember whilst also quickly changing the subject.
"Yawn How much lon-."
"THREE HOURS AND COUNTING MY GOOD SIR!!! Do you know what class you're gonna take? I've heard that there were millions of classes. Do you want to play the same one??? LIKE WE DID IN MAGISTERIA?? I don't think I'll play a caster this time though, it's too easy..." Austin interrupts clearly more interested in the game than Dourians sleep schedule.
"Yeah sure it was, it's the reason we picked it, remember?"
"True the bitches did love it when I could raze a village to the ground with a single firebolt. Anyways you got 2 hours and 58 minutes." Austin remarks in remembrance.
"Good, that means I can light up..."
"Come over first I got the cabins ready and you know my smoke is better."
"Alright I'll be there shortly."
Dourian gets cleaned up and starts heading to Austin's room, they live in the same house, ever since the great disappearance 15 years ago when 1.5 billion people vanished at the same time...among the 1.5 billion was Dourian's mother Myrina Pax a Physicist for Nile River Conglomerate. Alriche considered Austin & Dourian's close friendship so he adopted him and here he's lived ever since.
