A/N I literally saw one review pointing out how this would be a good idea. . . . sooooooooooooo. . . . . here I am! I want to point out that I'm having trouble being able to update this stuff, and I really am trying, but I have lots to do, usual author excuses. . . . If anyone wants to adopt my story, for whatever reason, let me know, and we can discuss this further! Anywho, without any further ado, let me start the first chapter of Zero Days to Die!

- Welcome to 7 Days to Die VR! -

This game was revolutionizing the concept of virtual reality. There was a worldwide challenge issued by the Japanese company Bacharu Inc. to make an in depth game with their technology. Many have tried, but what they didn't know was that they would only fund the greatest, and above all, most original game. The Fun Pimps took this challenge in stride. They made their game, best selling 7 Days to Die, but they took it to a whole new level. With the code provided generously by Bacharu Inc., they transferred the game over, but they tweaked it. . . . a lot. First off, they decided that a leveling system wouldn't exactly work here, if someone can survive, they gotta make it on their own right? What's the point of a challenge, if the whole leveling system makes it easy in the long run? Then they turned off GUIs, instead they made the crafting system about moving the avatar based on the thoughts of the player. . . simply put, if the player found a book pertaining to a crafting recipe, or had the knowledge of said item, then the avatar would move automatically and do it for the player. This also affects the looting system, the zombies now have different ways of hiding the items, often you gotta look inside to find what you're looking for. . . you know, like cut in their gut and you might find a gun?. . . some bullets or something like that. Those were the largest of the changes. Several thousand people bought the game instantly. However, when the game became at an all time high, that's where our story begins.

(I'll start using more of a first person POV, I needed to explain a few things first)

Well, finally found the town, now to begin tearing through every single mudda hubbin building and build my fortress! I bought this game when it came out, I mean, I'm literally playing a game where I survive the zombie apocalypse with nothing but my wits! I've died and stuff, but just because there isn't GUI's doesn't mean that they didn't put in options and stuff. They allowed for a pain reduction as well as a blood reducer, there have been funny stories of people suddenly vomiting on the ground in front of them while wearing the headsets because of the surrealism of the blood. I decided to nullify the pain and lower the blood a bit, just in case. Anywho, I love playing with others, but often, you find yourself just wanting to get away from others and just slaughter zombies, rip the goods out and make one hell of a fortress without having to compete for loot with jerks who blow the crap out of whatever shack you happen to be living in. Though there are some things, that even with the pain nullified, still seems to hurt, mentally more than physically of course. Anywho, day 6, and the night was about to start, I thought I was ready, I thought that the first 7th day would be easy. However, that would not be the case. I may have a pipe shotgun, I may have a handmade machete, but I was not ready for what was to come. Usually the 7th day would be difficult, what with the massive horde, but often, especially lately, quality over quantity seemed to be a rule. We're met with small numbers of ridiculous zombies, but this was given as a warning, in fact to help us, there's an indicator telling us how many zombies are left in a horde. Imagine my surprise when I saw the number 1 staring at my face from the indicator. I looked out my door and instantly regretted it. I've heard rumors of the thing, even saw the game files, but I never thought the damn thing would appear in the first week. The Fun Pimps were preparing a new map and even new concepts of magic and crap, I mean what's the harm of mixing magic, zombies, elves and swords? Absolutely none. So, as a tease, random events would clue us in what would await us, but the worst one to happen was when a gamer on Youtube recorded his group being invaded by none other than a massive zombie dragon. The thing literally burned their whole compound (Made of concrete mind you) to the ground, before proceeding to tear them apart. The Youtuber had apparently played many hours of God of War in its day, because he proceeded to jump on the things head, plunging his machete in its eye, before eviscerating his brain from the outside. I wasn't that crazy, I knew I was going to die, but meh, if I was going to die, at least I'll do it my way. I went inside and strapped whatever explosive I could on my body, before placing the C4 on my chest and holding the detonator. Then I climbed the tallest building and stood there waiting for the behemoth to make his way towards me. First it met with the small bit of turrets I had, which burned to slag, then proceeded to tear every building apart before zeroing in on me. He charged me, his mouth open, his scales shining in the moonlight before I gave him the one finger salute and yelled at the top of my lungs:

"Eat my explosive nuts ya ugly dead freak!"

The dragon swallowed me whole, before a bright light broke out and I was left deaf for a second, before I was waiting for the death screen.

At least, that's what was supposed to happen.

A/N This is nothing more than a test, I don't know if I even like it. I needed a chapter to explain why certain things happen, and how the guy would figure out that when he's transported he isn't in the game anymore. Please read and review and I accept HELPFUL criticism (warning to all flamers, I have an extinguisher with your name on it!).
