(The reason the main character's last name is blurred it is because it's a real last name. The main character is based of a real kid. So no, his name isn't what you may think W**** is. OK?)
Day 1 after the discovery:
My parents have let me test out this game that they made. It has been on the outer-space market for awhile. It seems to be so advanced that no console or pc can run it. Only a new gaming console my parents made allowed this to run, called the "Universal Station". The game seems to be a mix-up of everything I love. Anime characters and settings, Gaming characters and settings, and Novel/Movie tie-in settings. They say I could literally live in this game if I wanted to... Because I can. The "portal" some figurines can go on is an actual portal! It literally transports me into the game! But with all that said...
Welcome to Corey's Knights.
The game immediatly puts me in a colluseum. With one man standing in the center-
Wait a minute is that Toadsworth from the Super Mario series?
...Ok?
I see beta testers sitting everywhere. But only like, 10 of them are human. That's the thing, in my universe, several mythical creatures exist and have loads of famous people in their race, therefore being able to get the beta of Corey's Knights. Toadsworth says, "I assume ALL of you know why you're here. You are the selected beta testers! You have been transported to the realm of "Corey's Knights"... Speaking of which, Corey W****, please step forward."
Huh? That's my name. I step forward and Toadsworth says, "This game was made for him. You all have a chance of being his enemy,rival, or friend. But for that to be determined, you have to follow a set of challenges in teams of 5, so Corey... Choose your 4 other members, please." ...Why, isn't this an honor?
I point at a 14-year-old looking girl. "Uhh.. You. Number 61." she walks forward, and Toadsworth asks for a name. "D-Don't make fun of me for having an abnormal name.. But, My name is Final Battle." I hear a snicker and hope it came from a soon-to-be enemy.
I point at a burly-looking alien and say, "You? Number 63." He was sitting next to her. When he approaches, he says, "This is my sister. My name's Sudden Death. You may think I'm an alien, but this is just my avatar, for anyone concerned." I look at them weirdly.
1. For having gruesome names.
2. For being siblings. My brothers weren't allowed to go.
3. For being able to pick an avatar.
Toadsworth snaps me out of coming up with more reasons with a snappy, "we're losing daylight."
I point at a minotaur. "You, as well, Number 10" he comes forward, and says, "Name's Hassium. And yes, I'm a real minotaur. My set-up's out in the maze, next to the Red River between Oklahoma and Texas." Sweet.
This is my final choice, I gotta make it count. I look around, and see... A frat-kid. A hairy frat-kid. A college student. Every instinct in my body previously would've told me not to call him down. But... If you've seen what a speed runner looks like, you would understand why I pointed, and said, "You. Number 77."
He comes down, and says, "Well! Since everyone's ok with those oddball names. I'm KrillinThresh."
...This guy's real name... Is my usual SCREEN name? What in all the hells is going on?
To be continued...
