Chapter 2: Wandering Newbie
The silence of the game got me bored. Until voices of a young lady from a far was clearly heard. After the darkness, light came. It blinded my sight and revealed a beautiful garden. Guess it’s the Garden of Creation. I tried to feel my body, yet still can’t feel it. Guess I’ll have to wait for a NPC to drop by then.
Looking around, a welcoming NPC dropped by. She’s so beautiful. NPCs like her, makes the game Exciting. She showed a wonderful smile and greeted me. She’s the one printed on the CD cover of the game. Just look at those set of legs she has, Heaven! Sadly, she’s just a program. If I could just take you home young NPC, enough with the pervy thoughts.
I stood up and replied a smile. The NPC suddenly made a sound. Obviously she spoke. “Welcome to Shiver Online player 3678! Please tell me your designated name. This will be the one you will use upon playing the game.” Of course, I gently replied to the NPC and said the name “AceNomo” the NPC once again replied.
“Okay AceNomo!” She smiled at me and winked.
Whoa! What a glorious wink. It was like a spell that can make me feel my nose on the other side spilling blood. Thank you for the genius who programmed beautiful ladies here. I hope Alliance Online will be the same, or better. Suddenly, The NPC raised her hand and casted a Spell. Time to time my body began to be covered with flashing lights and my vision began to turn into a very dark surface. It was so dark like I was blind.
A light that gives darkness, Magic! Seconds past, the darkness turned into a peaceful city. I was teleported on the city nearby, Holy! I forgot to ask her name…. Damn! Moving on, I walked and wandered around the city. It’s a large city with soldiers guarding the gates. I also noticed that player seems to be few in this city yet the servers says that 2498 players are online right now. I checked the map and saw a beeping red light. So I’m in the Kingdom of Haven Light.

I shifted my gaze upwards and sunlight dazzled my eyes. I blinked once and stared on the big castle. The light fades time to time and also reveals the enormous kingdom. The game was not as bad as the players say in the forums. I guess it’s worth a play.
Staring at the castle, a player came out. Inspecting his golden armor set, I suspect he’s one of the top players arround here. The name is Kin’OI, what could make a ranked player wander in a level 1 floor?
Ignoring the famous player. Gently, I patted my super mini bag hanging on my belt inorder to open it. As I can see, it contains nothing as for now. All I have is a lump of bronze coins. I think it’s the game currency, Gold > Silver > Bronze. A hundred bronze is equivalent to one Silver and a hundred of silver is equivalent to 1 Gold. Closed my bag and continued to walk barefoot, the game entertains me so far.
While walking, a loud voice silenced everybody in town. He was the Game Moderator. Reminding everyone to be kind to everyone, he also announced that beginners can claim a Gift Box on the center of the kingdom. After hearing such a news, i wasted no time. I ran as fast as my Avatar can.
The kingdom became alive. Players online rippled, everybody ran towards the fountain surrounded by mobs where the Gift Box giver is. Everyone is running, dodging and shoving to get themselves a precious Gift Box except for one. A beginner who looks exactly like the player I saw in the castle with the Golden Armor set, but with the name "Kai’OII" I am sure as hell that I saw his name as "Kin'Ol" in the castle. But how'd this happen? A total coincidence? Thinking this matter is no big deal, I continued my pursuit for my Gift Box. I pushed myself into the mob, swinging my elbows from left to right, nudging everybody who is on my way.

After having a hard time, I claimed my Gift Box successfully. It felt like I won a war among these players. I stood up straight and opened the Gift Box. It contained a weapon of my choice coupon.
Grabbed the coupon and read its description. “Show it to a nearby Blacksmith shop and choose to what weapon you like to forge” I think I saw one while I was running my way here. Nearly closed my eyes and looked around, in the distance, I saw the blacksmith shop. The shop looks messy and abandoned, reminds me of my house. I walked by and entered the shop, tapped the bell and it made a sound. Ting!
Lights were turned on and a Young Girl with apron came out. She was stunning, her body and slender white set of legs in full display. Smiles and says. “How can I help you sir?” I was stunned for the whole 2 seconds and lit a smile and showed the coupon. The girl took it and asked.
“What kind of weapon would you like to craft sir?”
What kind of weapon? This question kept repeating through my mind. Let my chin rest on my hand while thinking. Suddenly, my favorite swordsman action figure passed by my imagination. Okay! It’s all set. I warmly replied to the girl and said.
“Craft me a Beautiful Sword like you my lady, give all your strength and let me watch you while you bath in perspiration” Then winked. Who cares? This girl isn’t conscious. I kneeled my elbow near her lump and closed my eyes while smiling.
Heard three Tang! Sound, my curiousity made me opened my eyes. The NPC is finished creating the sword. It was wonderful, its color was black as the charcoal and silveryblue on the edges of the sword. The girl handled the sword and walked.
“Here’s your Sword mister Pi! Also don’t worry, I named it for you. Behold the “Sword of the Perverted Swordsman” well you know this sword is one of a kind.” After speaking, she lit a smile with murderous intent beneath it.

#Call Cthulhu
An eldritch comedy. After Cthulhu is summoned into the world, the whole place goes to shit. Things really got out of hand after Cthulhu got nuked. Alex and Julius, a pair of brothers, try their best to make it in a North America reshaped by an eldritch apocalypse. “Stop right there Philip!” Julius interrupted, the vein on his temple starting to throb. “I do not want to hear another simile about what magic is. I have had magic explained to me by three cult leaders, a wizard, and a cannibal. I've heard that magic is like a rainbow, all its parts blending together. The human unconsciousness, powerful and unknowable. A body, you don't want to eat the heart straight away. I am sick and tired of people telling me what magic is. I know damn well what it is.” He drew a breath, interrupting his rant. “Magic is a bad joke. A whole lot of setup, for some nonsense punchline. This whole god-damned apocalypse is an eldritch comedy.”
