Dan woke up in a white space. He floated a while before getting his bearings. The only thing he saw except himself was a computer screen, sitting on a table, with a comfy gaming chair in front of it. He first hesitated, but since there wasn't really anything else he could do, he sat down, to look at the screen.
[Welcome to the Ultimate RTS, Dan]
He was just done reading it, when the text changed again
[Because of your obsession in your past live, you have been selected to play this game, and as long as you don't loose, forever]
[Most memories of your personal live have been deleted, since it will only distract you]
[Have fun :) ]
He sat just there, and after he was done reading, he broke out into laughter. He regained his memories, and remembered the countless hours playing all the different RTS games he could get his hands on. After he first played his first title, the genre hooked him. And now, a mysterious entity told him he could play RTS forever? With a wide and very creepy grin, he opened the game that had appeared on the desktop. A screen appeared, just when you first opened a game
[Choose a play mode]
[Desktop Mode: Play on a Desktop, using your hands to control the game]
[God Mode: Play the game as a floating figure. Much better control and immersion capabilities, but will experience death and war much more near]
He only hesitated briefly, and choose God Mode, since if he wanted to do this, he wanted to do this right.
[Because you were brought here without your consent, you may select a boon]
He paused, and thought about it for a long time, sifting through his memories to find anything crucial he might need. After contemplating for a while, he made his decision
"System or whatever you are called, i want my resource nodes to be infinite, since in some games i would need to constantly find new ones, and that could get bad really fast"
[Name "System" accepted, calculating.. wish granted! your resource sources are now set to infinite]
[Beginning game...]
He felt a pull, and was suddenly floating above a desert.In the distance, he could see the silhouette of a city in the distance, but nothing serious.
[Drawing first Origin... Origin selected: Starcraft II]
[Faction selecting... Selected Faction: Zerg]
