Chapter 1: A New Game.

Name:Bloodlines Online Author:


'Boring.'

While scrolling endlessly through videos on his break, a teenager was waiting for the time to end.

As he was scrolling through the videos his screen was taken by another advertisement.

A beautiful woman in a luxurious dress appearing on the screen began to speak with the same script as always, a script he heard so much he could recite it in his sleep.

"Bloodlines Online! The latest arrival of the vrmmorpg world!"

"Take part in the newest online experience as you take part in the ultimate way to experience your true self."

The screen cuts to black as always before revealing the same woman in a street that looks closer to an old European village.

The woman as always turns to face the camera and is now as an elf wearing a skimpy dress.

The teenager groans at the sight, cringing over the blatant attempt at sexual marketing.

"Bloodlines Online will allow you to become what you truly desire, never comfortable as a human? Be a beautiful elf or a majestic beastfolk!"

She then began to levitate in place woth her hair blowing in the wind.

"My bloodline for example when taken as an elven race was only simple and i got the affinity for wind magic but you can get much more!"

The screen then fades again before showing many scenes of glorious battle from overhead or the side as if spectating the chaos and finally to end it off the title: "Bloodlines Online!"

Sighing again he stood up to return to work.

As much as he hated that lowest common denominator crap that modern game advertisers used he did find the game interesting which is why he bought it.

Once his shift was over her planned to go home and try it out since the release would be for later that day.

As he returned to the register to continue his shift he saw one of the patrons suddenly lean back in their seat closing their eyes.

The restaurant he worked in might not be the most expensive but it was still seen as a classy establishment so part of his job description was to watch for vagrants and... worse.

He approached the man who seemed to be sleeping and put on his best customer service smile before placing a gentle hand on the mans shoulder.

"Sir are you alright?"
