The Cursed Paradise (Edentia Online)

Chapter 2 (edit)

"Please turn your Cerebrum-device on." the robotic female voice commanded me.

I plugged the device cable to the socket, slid down the ViGa-glasses to my head. The Cerebrum-device and ViGa-glasses were intelocked each other near my ears. To make sure, I rubbed all the device that bounded my head. I pushed the power on button near my left crown of my head, a shock of electromangetic waves tingling whole my body started from the spinal cord. I get really scared when knowing my body now was paralyzed, numb, only my heartbeat drums quickly.

What happen to me ? help ! someone help me ! I can't move.

Hold your nerves, don't be panic, it's just the part of the game. I said that to myself trying to calm myself down. The tingling sensation over my my body has gone now, it seems my body was being scanned thoroughly, I could feel my whole body again; but it still paralyzed.

Glad I'm still alive. I take a deep breath, and dropped it slowly through my mouth.

"Mind scanner activated !" I said.

Well, that explained me much why this game has strictly questionnaire to answer, including the last one; maybe.

Let's get thing start! The ViGa-glasses now darkened it’s screen, brought me near to a mosaic glass, then penetrate throught it. Some pixelized dusts in a rainbow colour danced around me, then swirled like a twisting tornado, it also produces some humming sound that soothe my ear. Being hypnotized by the scene, I drifted to a sleep.

I woke up on a dark room, with only a white lamp that shone above me. I laid on a chair with fluffy pillow on my neck as a head rest. A holographic window appeared in front of me with buzzing sound, I touched the screen delicately. The screen rippled like a water then some typed messages popped from it.

Please input your gaming account :

Confirm Password :

I typed the information above, then confirmed it. A moment later, the data has been sent to the database out there. A big mirror showed in front of me, its crystal clear surface reflect myself. I only wear a black nightgown that reached to my knees, as I looked around to find a button for avatar appearance setting, but nothing was there.

So, it will be my real appearance maybe.. or the game will give it later..

When I touch the mirror, it popped a empty dialog box, input avatar name. I think for awhile.

Iz, is my nickname.. how about Izvatya ? Well, not bad, Izvatya.. Iz.. I murmuring and typed the avatar name.

Numeric codes replaced the dialog box and disappearing the mirror. A purple message floating from below to above me it is written.

Proceed to the next stage [Aptitude test]

[Aptitude test is to determine what’s your elemental’s ability, you’ll given a glove that could control only a elemental that being tested. Remember, a player only acquire an elemental skill after passing an aptitude test. However you can restart the test if you weren’t satisfied with the result.]

The message disappeared after I touched it, being ready I stretch my body. A light shone upon the dark room brightly, as bright as the sun iluminates all the darkness. Within my periperhal vision, a scenenery of a rolling clouds within my feet; it’s smooth and fluffy surface hugged my feet.

Suddenly an energy blowed me with a gentle wind, I wear a sky blue gloves with single white feather on my left wrist. A green winged fairy with four insect-like wings soon flew toward me. I waved my hand, trying to control the wind that engulf me. A blue sphere woven from the clouds rolling in my hands, I aimed it to the fairy. Too late, it flew faster forward me and attacked me. My hands left bare, a red dot blinked three times and showing a message.
