Today I've made a deal along with everyone else that is still alive on this wretched planet. On one hand, we could decline and die and on the other, we could accept but live as entities downloaded onto the Grand Scale. Today I've made the obvious choice...

  "I accept."

  *Beep*

  Out of the genres and categories, I already knew what I was gonna choose. Before selling our bodies to Grand Scale we were given a pamphlet on what would occur inside the VR device. Most people were excited to see that they could continue to live their lives as usual, and some even more so to see that they could live their lives as something better. And some like me were positively ecstatic to find that this new world gifted us a whole different kind of feeling than we've ever felt before. Adversity.

  In the Hardcore genre, I will be able to experience life and death in the most realistic way possible. It will actually be life and death. People accustomed to new living have taken for granted the prospect of death and I wish to separate myself from that sort.

  "Yes." Something I can rarely admit to truthfully.

  "Who the fuck would want to live in Dar-"

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

  "Nevermind it makes sense."

  "Select High Fantasy Martial World; Key Words: Physical Magic Only, MMA, Fighting, Grind, Experience, Open World, Levelled" A small beep responds to my voice as if to confirm my words urging me onto the next step.

  "Yes."

  I have no clue. Hmm. I should make it something funny. Like Juicy Toes or something. Nah that would be fucking weird, but then again it's my world. Whatever I should just name it something generic like...

  "World One."

  "Yes."

  ...Two Hours of Character Creation Later...

  "6'0", Black hair, Hazel Eyes, Tom, 17, my personality can be described as just bright and dandy; I just shine my way into other people's lives.."

  "Why'd you put sarcastic in my bio?"

  *Beep*

  "Fuck you too then."

  "Before you ask me if I'm sure for the thousandth time, yes I am sure this is who I am. Now would you please just load me into my Instance I am getting restless."

  *Beep*

  "Yeah, yeah I get it."

  *Beep Beep Beep!*

  "I've made it." My very own world at last.
