Chapter 1 - Chapter One

"Zzzttt. . . " 

"Meta Classes and Races in MYTHOS" 

Hmmmm, this is the first time I'm thinking about my choices. I do have a race that I initially wanted to choose, and when I read all of the descriptions. Dang. There are too many races I would like to choose from. 

And I remember that Demons, Angels, and Elves are the primary race that players choose, I mean, I can't deny the fact that they have a lot of mana and their magical capabilities are way too strong. 

As I continue to think and read descriptions for races, I see a race that I haven't even read or heard from other players. 

"Siren" 

I hurriedly closed the official MYTHOS page. And I also opened the forum to look for clues that might help me with the race I've discovered. 

"I think I need to ask Johan about this." 

I really can't see anything about this race; it is also not on the new patch notes. 

"Calling Johan ." 

"Ring" 

"Ring" 

"Ri-" 

"Hey, Io, wassup?" 

I heard his monotone voice. It does sound silly, to be honest, but it gives me a sense of trust just hearing him. 

"I'm good, Johan, just wanna ask if you know about this race I saw in the game today?" 

"Hmm, why didn't you tell me that you're going to play the game? I insist you play for three months straight". He does sound angry, and I can imagine him pouting. Hahaha. 

"I know, that is why I'm hesitant to ask you. I really wanna surprise you, but curiosity got me hahaha. I'm sorry, okay. I wanted to surprise you." 

"Hmmp" 

"I'm sorry, okay, I mean, you're already on the League Ranking." 

"Oh, (silence) Sorry It's just you know how I loved to play games like this hahaha." 

"Hmmmp" - the only thing I can reply to him.

"You're a meanie," I pouted my lips even tho he couldn't see it.

He sighs.

I started to laugh; it was fun to tease him. 

"HAHAHAHAHA! Sorry, okay, I just really wanted to talk to you as well." 

"You Liar!!"

It's fun teasing him. 

"Anyway, I'll go ahead and go back to playing!" 

"Hey, don't forget to DM me once you're playing." 

Zzttt . . . 

"Geez, I forgot to ask him."

I hung up the phone and went to my Nervegear. 

.... 

After lying in the Nervegear, I close my eyes. 

It's still fascinating to me that current technology can link your mind to a different world. 

I smiled, then a bright light shone in my eyes even though they were closed. 

"Welcome to MYTHOS! I'll be your guide on your way to being one of the Avatars that will awaken the secrets of this world." 

As I opened my eyes, I saw a beautiful woman who had a flowing, white, silky outfit similar to a Roman outfit. 

She has long black hair, red eyes, and a pale complexion. What made my heart flutter upon seeing her. She has elven features. She's stunning. I'm amazed that this is just a game. 

"Hii. " 

She looked at me, confused, she smiled, and started to talk again. 

"Hello there, if you're ready to create your avatar, please stand in front of this Statue" 

Then she moved sideways, and I saw a large statue with the shape of an angel. 

"Wow" 

I carefully walked to the statue, and it started to gleam with a glowing light. 

"Hah!" 

The beautiful lady gasped at my back. I look at her. 

"Is there something wrong? Ma'am?" 

"Oh, there's nothing wrong, little one. Please go in the middle, and I'll start explaining," she smiled. 

"Oh, great, thank you, Ma'am!" 

"Hahahaha, please, little one, just call me Astaria."

Astaria... Oh, she's one of the Twelve Divine Aspects. This is wonderful, I didn't know that you could just meet one of the gods at the start of the game. 

I walked in the middle, and a screen showed up in front of me.

"Please write your Name"

Oh, how neat Character Customization is first.

"Hehe - I can't stop myself from chuckling.

While thinking of a good name, Goddess Astaria is just looking at me, trying to look for something. So I smiled back at her.

Typing . . . . .

Okay, I will use this name. I click the confirmation button.

Confirm.

"Oh, Little one, what a Lovely name you have, again. Welcome To Vaeloria, Nyx Vortex"

"You can also start creating your Avatar."

So I started creating my avatar. It did take me some time to create it, Hahahahaha.

So to describe my avatar, I have a Lavender long and wavy, cascading hair past my shoulders. I have Red, droopy eyes with unique star-shaped markings at the center, and lots of eyelashes. Skin is Creamy white as well.

Unlike my real-life appearance. Black, medium-length, straight Hair. Black, monolid Eyes often look distant or dead. My skin is Pale white with a subtle scar on the right shoulder.

I can't deny it, but I created a work of art with this avatar. At the same time, I'm done creating my avatar.

Goddess Astaria puts her hands in the cosmos and gathers stars. The stars started to surround me.

"Now, Little One, choose a Race for your avatar. Each Race has its unique trait that will help you with your adventure at Vaeloria." 

"This information might help you as well. The most chosen Races are Demons, Elves, and Angels. Unlike other Games, your races evolved along with the classes that you will choose.

Demons have a Unique trait that focuses on Defense and have a Huge affinity for Dark Magic and Magic Resistance.

Angels on the other side have a Unique trait that focuses on Physical or Magical Damage, and they have a lot of compatibilities with different classes among other Races.

While Elves are more of a Balance type, they have a Unique trait that will help you with Growth. This race is the most flexible.

Now that I'm done with some info, do you have any questions for me?"

While listening to Goddess Astaria, I'm already looking at the class that I want.

"Hmm, may I know the difference between Mermaid and Siren Races?"

"First, Mermaids are a Female exclusive Race, while Sirens have a Male Counterpart named Triton"

"Additionally, Mermaids are known for using their voices to enchant/charm, which is a Crowd Control.

While Sirens were known for using their voices to manifest Shipwrecks that led people to Death."

"Thank you so much for the information, Goddess Astaria"

After listening, I chose the Siren Race. A Screen Pops up again. I smiled while reading the screen. I am ready to conquer this game.
