Hello and welcome to my first story to be publicly seen. Please give me as much critique as possible. I desire to be a good story writer, and will likely help me in English class as well. Thanks! =)
Kirito lied on his bed, going through all of the memories of his last couple of years. Sword Art Online, Alfheim Online, recently, Gun Gale Online. He idly noted that all three had Online in their name.
He was currently debating something. This wasn't his actual bed. This was a virtual reality bed. This was a VR game created using the seed that Kayaba Akihiko gave to Kirito. After he gave the seed ages ago, many many many games have sprung up taking advantage of the VR system. Multiple corporations have taken up the duty of making VR games as well, even the American companies Microsoft, Apple, even Google was making their own VR systems and games.
Kirito idly looked at the virtual clock that was on exactly the same timezone as the clock in his house. 13:29. It was a Saturday, and he was excited. Ever since he realized people were actually using the seed Kayaba gave him, he was having fun searching through all of the different types of games, and playing them. He's had many a blasts playing different games. Hell, even one of them was an almost exact replica of SAO. While he at first didn't like it due to bad memories, he learned to look past the game, and see it was Kayaba that killed him, the game was just doing the thing it was programmed to do.
He's played sword games, gun games, art games, (He wasn't very good at these types admittedly..) space games, bow games, throwing games, exploring games, and many more genres of games, and ever since the seed was released, there have been many new genres of games that have been made and released, some being a blast, and inspiring people to make games based off of them. The virtual reality industy has boomed.
Kirito mumbled something and a window came up, he clicked the Log Out button that was at the bottom, and suddenly found himself back into real life with his VRGear on. That's what they called them nowadays, VRGear. No fancy name, just plain and simple. Many companies make VRGear, hell some people even make modified versions, but a recent patch has made it so that only the companies legally allowed to do it had access to put a chip into their VRGear, allowing VRDevs the ability to cose the game to only legal VRGears. Taking the chip out of a VRGear automatically makes the chip inoperable unless a certain code is put into a phone on a website, with the VRGears ID, and one of those companies' technicians with you. They will then fix it if it is broken or malfunctioning.
"Link, Start." He intoned, the familiar words flowing through his mouth naturally, and suddenly his vision was filled with a kaleidoscope of colours, then finally he appeared in a white-blue word, with just that colour, then a menu window showed up, with the options of: Create a Game, Play a Game, Search a Game, Options, and Log Out. This was the VRPort. Also known as the VRPortal. This was the place everyone went to when they started their link. This prevented the need for disks, or such things to be inserted with the game on, to play it. The payment system was just simply, asking the bank to transfer X amount of money to the VRGear. Tell them the VRGear's ID, and the X amount of money will be transferred, able to be used to purchase games and DLC to those games, and/or items for you VR Avatar. VRDevelopers have a choice to allow users to use their VR Avatars for the game, or to not, and use whatever the VRDeveloper wants.
He clicked on the 'Search a Game' tab.
Another, bigger window opened up, with a search bar and filters. He was wondering about being a deity today, so he typed in 'Deity'. What came up was a game called 'DeityVerse V.825 Alpha'. There were symbols that represented that the game did not allow the VR Avatar in the game, and that it was a game that contained PvP, PvE, and in general, violence. But also contained creativity and social interaction. This game was rated 15 on the VR system.
He tapped on the game, with the photo on it being a person overlooking a beautiful lush forest with the sun blazing overhead.
The window then went away, another window showcasing another photo that came in after a few seconds after the photo that was displayed previously when he clicked on the game.
He then proceeded to read the description.
'DeityVerse is a game that combines creativity, social interactions, action, adventure, and some aspects of survival genres into one game. DeityVerse is about you.. A deity of a universe (Able to be upgraded into a bigger and bigger universe then multiverse that then expands into an infinite number of universes) that can create and edit that universe to your liking, with real life graphics, sounds, effects, physics, and more, with intelligent, almost real-life like advanced AI, created by one of the best programmers in the LionsTiger group. When you're looking for other things, find another deities universe to explore, and if allowed, edit. Changes will not be saved unless allowed by the deity. Able to be saved to a databank unique for that player(s).
Battling is also another part of DeityVerse. As you play more, you will begin to understand how to do many things, or how to do things better. The more time you spend in the game, you will eventually learn how to do things (better). In battling, this also requires the user to have atleast some experience with the game, but when you have the required experience to fight properly, then the game gets really fun. Who doesn't like having battles on player-made or default maps, destroying galaxies, universes, even multiverses. Have long, intense, and fun matches or the occasional short, intense and still fun matches. FFA, Team deathmatch, and juggernaut gamemodes are currently available in this version, many more may come in the latest versions.
Many more features will be coming, so keep your head level, for the upcoming Battling Bay map. Specially created for battle, but has many new mechanics and features that make this map unique.
If you enjoy this VRGame, please donate to help us budget this game!'
Kirito looked at the description, and then promptly clicked on the 'Play' button, looking forward to playing this new genre of game he just found.
Let's just hope there's no tyrannical staff or owner that is trying to do something evil. Again.
And that's a wrap for now. I don't have a schedule so I'll update when I update, so don't keep asking me please, I do need to do things in real life that have a higher priority that this, unfortunately.
