Two weeks have passed...
I still vividly remember telling my parents that I bought a 3,000 Dors VR Pod. Surprisingly enough, they weren''t mad, my father even encouraged me to find the game I like.
In my previous lifetime I had low to none motivation to do anything. I usually spent my days lying in the bed and scrolling through the inte or trying to shake off the boredom by exercising. Seeing me buy something for myself made my parents happy.
And today, after two weeks, [ Fragmental ] will finally beunched.
Dressing up I left my room and went straight to the kitchen. Taking a seat on one of the chairs I started quickly eating the breakfast, I had about an hour before the game''s release.
" Leo, Is everything alright ? Nobody is going to steal your food, slow down "
My mother chuckled seeing me eat as if there is no tomorrow.
Lowering my head I tried to hide my reddened cheeks receiving another chuckle from my dad. Slowing down the eating pace I finished the meal and bid my parents farewell before quickly dashing to my room.
" I haven''t seen him this excited for years "
My mother smiled seeing my enthusiasm. A week ago I told my parents about the Pod purchase and I also mentioned that I bought it to y a new game I really like.
Agreeing with mother, my dad also nodded his head and once again indulged himself in the newspaper.

Entering my room I climbed into the VR Pod and closed its door. My heartbeat was beating faster and faster with every second.
Putting on the headgear I quickly navigated myself towards the new game section.
[ Fragmental < Download Now > ]
Using my trembling hands I managed to download the game.
[ Do you want tounch < Fragmental > ? ]
[ < Yes > / < No > ]
Pressing the Yes button I felt my consciousness slip before everything around me turned dark.
Blink... Blink...
I was conscious again.
Looking around I noticed that I was levitating in the nothingness. The only thing in the empty and ck space was a blue hologram hovering before my eyes.
< Choose your Race >
~ Human
~ Orc
~ Elf
~ Fairy
~ Dwarf
~ Demon
These races were the main ones. Later on, one can evolve his race, but that is only a few yearster after the game''s update.
In [ Fragmental ] once you choose your race there is no going back. If you want to change your race you''ll need to delete your ount and start from the beginning. A lot of yers choose their race without batting an eye and are forced to delete their ountster on in the game.
Every race has its unique starting points, different NPCs and quests. Some races can''t interact with NPCs from another race. For example demons:
They were regarded as the worst race, because they couldn''t interact with most of the NPCs from the other races. Their starting point was harsh and full of powerful enemies. Most yers recreated their Demon ounts, because of a rough start the race had.
In my previous life the most popr race was Elves, because they had the most quests and a pretty easy starting point. They also had one of the strongest Sub-ss in the game - Lightning Mage. In my previous lifetime the strongest yer was a Lightning Mage who could use lightning bolts to toast her enemies.
Humans were regarded as the second strongest race, because of how many hidden quests they had.
Completing a hidden quest or defeating a hidden boss could grant you an item, skill or a spell that is exclusively for you.
All the yers have a limited capacity of 10 Passive Skills, 10 Active Skills and 10 Spells. A yer can''t have more than that or else it would be a clusterfuck.
Fairies have an easy start and a rxing gamey. Their race is considered a support race and fairies are usually Healers.
Orcs are simr to humans, but they have a rougher starting point. They are very strong in the mid game, but they are easily defeated in the early stages of the game.
Dwarfs are usually picked by people that want to gather wealth fast. They be cksmiths and quickly gain wealth by making weapons.
Thinking about all the options, I smirked and chose the Demon race.
" They don''t even know "
Some races have Unique Sub-sses that are not revealed until someone discovers them. I remember seeing a Forum post about the Unique demon Sub-ss which was identally discovered by a rotten water. The post showcased the ss''s Stats and its exclusive skills. I still remember shedding tears seeing how powerful the ss was.
Unique ss is a ss that only one yer can have. Unfair, but broken!
In my past life I was a demon as well. I was forced to choose the Devourer ss that exceeds in speed and stealth. It was good for collecting information and moving from ce to ce quickly Unfortunately it was boring as hell.
< Choose your ss >
~ Mage
~ Devourer
Clicking on the Mage ss another set of options appeared.
< Choose your Sub-ss >
→ Dark Mage
→ Dark Priest
Dark mage Sub-ss has weak physical defense, but has decent Magical Damage and Mana.
Dark Priest is a Sub-ss that specializes in curses. Itcks Magical and Physical defense in return for the strong Magical Damage.
yer can try to bnce his Stats, but it''s not rmended, because it''s not efficient.
Levitating above the nothingness I didn''t move my hand. To get the hidden ss one has to be a Demon Mage and have no Sub-ss. After a minute of waiting another hologram appeared.
< Warning ! >
< You haven''t chosen your Sub-ss >
< Are you sure you want to Proceed ? >
< Yes > / < No >
Pressing < Yes > everything around me turned white.
< Wee to Fragmental >
A robotic voice echoed in my head before I appeared in the middle of a spooky vige.

[ Fragmental ] is a game built around the Level Up system. Leveling up gives you SP ( Status Points ) which you can use to enhance your Stats.
The game also has death penalties.
If you die you''ll lose 2 Levels. If your ount isn''t above Level 3 you''ll have to create a new ount. Dying while fighting against another yer will result in you dropping 50 % of your Inventory.
Starting viges are the safe zones in which people can''t attack each other. In other cities you are allowed to attack another yer, but if an NPC sees you, you''ll be jailed.
