Too Much Pain

As the brightness faded, I was welcomed into a wonderful world. It resembled the world of wuxia novels.

The birds were chirping, the sun was shining. Everything was l.u.s.trous green, mountains and trees atop each other, hugging.

All in all it was an exquisite painting. But why was I here? This question confused my mind relentlessly. How did I get here? Where am I?

When suddenly a whirring sound awoke me from my stupor.

"Welcome Earthling to the Trials of Wuxia, the newest edition of intergalactic MMO.

I hope you will find this experience to your liking. Oh! And a kind reminder: Everything is real."

Said a robot hanging upside down in front of me. It just popped up into existence without me noticing it. Then when I opened my mouth to ask about this world, it was already gone.

"What a funny place it is. New tech, old World? What a combination it is. But if it is a "real" game, then let's be real about it."

My first thought was to run. But I had nowhere to run. I was standing in the middle of a meadow, n.a.k.e.d. With no idea where to go forward.

"In these cases what does one usually do? Kills himself off?" I found that idea plausible, but I didn't particularly liked the idea of going through the same shit again. Ehm, ordeal. Ordeal it was.

So I looked around, thinking how does it manifest, that it is a game. I guessed, it shouldn't be that complicated, so I just cried out loudly: Stats window, moth...!

Nah, just kidding. I just whispered it, cause I am a shy person.

Then like a hologram, a stats window opened in front of me. Felt like I was wearing VR glasses, just the better ones.

Stats of Demeter:

Earthling (all stats minus 1)

Strength : -1.

Dexterity: -2.

Vitality: -3.

Mana: -4.

Skills: -

Special attributes:

Earthlings have a connection with their so called Time. Some can manipulate it well, some not. Have fun finding it out.

Well, I was f.u.c.k.e.d. But the last bit of info did perk my interest. I wondered what it meant.

Anyways it was time to work on my stats.

"Here I go World!"

One could see a boy, n.a.k.e.d, with his limp part flailing around, hoping for a better future, with his cheeks shining with exuberant naivety.
