A/N Well, this will be important in future chapters *Spoiler* since i don't bother with useless details of unimportant characters, because it takes longer to write and you guys don't want to read some random paragraph about some character that won't even appear for more than 5 seconds. So don't think that its unimportant.

Vol one Chapter Zero A rude NPC

"Welcome to Second life. As it is your first time, please wait a second for our program to scan your body and voice frequencies, this way you can straight away start playing second life or make slight adjustments to your avatar"

…

"Would you like to proceed to creating your character?" asked the NPC.

She wore a white loose t-shirt which had elbow high sleeves accompanied by a tartan folding skirt. Her shoes were neat and black. Together, the outfit greatly resembled a sailor's uniform, complete with the collar style and an aqua jewelled hair broach that grabbed the back of her brunette hair forming a looped ponytail. However, the NPC was at least 18.

Are they putting on a cosplay show?

I nodded silently as I withdrew my eyes from the cosplaying NPC to across the background that was like a dark void.

"What race would you like to be?" she question, while flashing a lazy look before forcing a rigid smile, while extending a delicate arm towards the sea of surprisingly realistic characters around me which had instantly appeared before me, giving me a shock in the process. Staring around at the millions, possibly billions, of holograms, I noticed the sheer range of characters that I could choose from, which excited me, yet at the same time, I was a little overwhelmed by the numbers. The group seemed to go on for miles and within the crowd were fairies, demons, gorgons, elves, humans, and even beast men, just to name a few.

As she saw my surprized expression, she frowned for a split second, immediately returning to her stiff smile and telling me to choose which ever race I wanted and she would explain each of the different options, well, not before murmuring something about always having to help stupid newbies. Ignoring the comment, I thought to myself that I should choose carefully, after all, I needed one with stats that would be helpful for my class, and I wouldn't be able to pick another character again.

A little relieved, but more so irritated, I asked what the characteristics would be if I choose human.

"Humans" The NPC glared as if it was the ten billionth time. "They have very average stats compared to other races". "Not to mention one of the most over rated races" she mumbled under her breath.

What's with her? Just 1 minute and she's already getting on my nerves.

"What race has the most strength?" I asked.

For a moment she paused, face stiff with confusion as she starred at me was if I was a tomboy.

"That would be the Beast men, however they have low agility." She answered in a tone that suggested she was a little surprized yet an expression that was as if she knew what I was thinking.

Hmm… It would be the obvious choice since it has the most strength, which, would be vital. However, I valued high agility more. I burrowed my brow.

I'd rather not be too mainstream.

"Elves?" I questioned.

"Generally, they have high agility however they're extremely weak in strength" an ever so slight smile appeared "So they're not cut out to be warriors, so you might as well just be another beast man or human" with a face filled with a sense of "the high horse".

Why are you deliberately trying to get on my nerves, what have I ever done to you? And wasn't it you who said that humans was an over rated race in the first place?

Attempting to keep my expression calm, I plastered a fake smile on my face, but I couldn't help but let a tiny vein appear on my forehead. Though I couldn't help but wonder how she knew what i was going to choose.

Why should I take the advice of a wench!

"I'll be an Elf then"

"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you" She said.

Is she really an NPC?

"Do you wanna adjust anything?" she asked, suddenly changing her tone to that of a teen that had just been told to wash the dirty laundry.

I looked at the elf that had the exact shade of dark red hair, which was slightly leaning towards brown. It felt rather strange to see the avatar stare back at me with the same aqua blue eyes. But it wasn't till later that I noticed just how flat those areas were.

"Could you make my hair a brighter red and change the eye colour to a deep red"

With a click of her fingers, my avatar changed.

"What continent do you wanna be born from? North, Northeast, East, Southeast, South, Southwest, West, Northwest or the Central continent."

"Um. The Northwest continent"

"Finally, you are now ready to be born" grunted the NPC, emphasizing the word "finally".

What an annoying backbiter, even if she's a NPC.
