In The Making

Two years ago, a new company came into play. Announcing their development of a new virtual full-dive MMORPG called 'After-Life Online: game of legions'

A month later it was released globally, free to play, and played by the thousands quickly.

It had been carefully in creation long before the company, now known as 'Legion Command Entertainment', had even made their debut into the economy. It was by far the best full-dive to have ever been created and released, everything was realistic to the point many forgot it was just thousands of microscopic pixels placed perfectly in sync.

However, every game has a goal, and this time around everything was focused solely on becoming the #1 player and gaining control of all five races in the game, as King.

You join the game as one of five races, with a randomly chosen ability that places you in one of five factions/clans/kingdoms, whichever you choose to call it. Each kingdom has an inner hierarchy, and furthermore a hierarchy amongst all five to choose the greatest.

When the game first released, I played solo. Wandering and just enjoying the graphics and learning everything I could as I traveled. Making parties with others to gain experience and such, it was a lifestyle I rather enjoyed from the start. Until I ran into him on a brief trip to the starter towns for a party quest.

It was never intended to find him, and since then I was happy I had. His goal was to be the King, and I promised to help as his most devoted aid. It was almost like a contract, one that I sacrificed everything for. His methods grew cruel and malicious as he climbed the inner-hierarchy and I blind to it. Fewer players wanted my aid in missions with his reputation behind me, but I was willing to do everything to help him then. Till he broke the dome that had held only him and me, bringing in a world that I never truly realized existed outside of fantasy stories.

My usefulness had finally drained empty when he was the best of our Kingdom, and one by one downing the others. Just a step away from taking the throne, he decided I was no longer of use to him, that his year-long facade could finally draw to an end. He had his Queen and I was just another barrier. I was trialed, zero' ed out and rejected from any of the existing servers.

I was shattered, broken and slowly wasting away, and he was completely content to watch it happen. Grinning down from his throne like the bastard his pretty, jasmine colored eyes concealed.

But it seems the universe isn't that easy for one person to overthrow, and it was on my side for once.

A new server was created, code-named-'Rivers Flood' and I had another chance. This time, even with him reigning over all five servers and kingdoms and now the newest one, I was ready to slit his throat till he bled out at my feet, just like he had done to me. A new server, a new world, a new enemy on the rise.
