Welcome to Code Geass: R1.
Almost immediately after the display of the system's welcome greeting, a small window popped out.
Please select your preferred language:
The system chooses the default language as accordingly to the geographical area of the player. However, be the chosen language be Japanese, Mandarin, English, German, French or any other languages would not make any difference in the game. In this game, all players are not restricted to any region accessing locks.
This is what all players around the globe is expecting from, Code Geass: R1, the first ever most powerful RPG online game in the history. In year 2121, all gamers' biggest dream to be able to have a 100% gaming experience in gaming can easily be fulfilled. There is no doubt, 2121 is the most glorious generation of high-technology in human history.
A third year high school student, Kururugi Suzaku had bought this game at Akihabara, the final stop of his high school's graduation trip yesterday. At the beginning, he was just attracted by the stunning packaging, but he ended up buying the game out of curiosity.
Through reading the explanation booklet, the game is setting in a fictional world which the entire world had been taken by the powerful Britannia and all the countries were forced to give up their name, taking in the given number as their new name. According to the text, Japan is known as "Eleven", 11. The booklet did not specifically mention anything regarding the main story line in the game, only stated that gamers are able to play freely in the game as how they wish to… Even the characters in the game can be self-determined.
After completing the language selection, almost immediately, another window popped out. Do you wish to serve under Britannia? He is not being serious of what choices he should make or he even bothers how it will affect his future progress, Suzaku only gives out a small laugh and chooses YES, ignoring the NO option in his mind. It is just a game.
At the same moment, somewhere far away in the West, Lelouch Lamperouge, also a third year high school student had encountered the same question. It does not matter if it is in reality or in games, he is a serious perfectionist. Hence, after a few moments of deep thinking and plotting many possible future story progressions in his mind, he selected NO without any hesitation.
Player: Lelouch
Upon confirming his choice, he sinks deep into a black hole the next second. As he sinks deeper and deeper down, he can see his character's past stories, as generated by the system for the game. His name was Lelouch Vi Britannia, the 11th prince of Holy Empire of Britannia. The 97th Emperor, who is his father had unfortunately passed away with serious illness, he was not able to mention who was his successor. That caused his many mistresses triggering a chaos within the empire to fight for their late husband's throne for their sons. His mother and younger sister were sacrificed for the sake of his young self's safety.
Succeed in escaping away from Britannia and as well as throwing away his high status as a royalty, he lived on as "Lelouch Lamperouge", a student who is also a genius, living a normal academy life.
Player: Suzaku
At the same moment of selecting YES, the window disappeared and an NPC (Non-Player Character) is walking towards him, from far away. When that person finally reaches in front of him, Suzaku only notices there is a small window popping out right beside that person's figure. It explained that this man is his father who had passed away in the wars with Britannia. Before his death, he was an honorable man, being a prime minister and had respected by many people. That NPC simply explained of his own self's past.
His mother had passed away after giving birth, leaving himself under the care of his father alone. At a young age, he lost his father and home because of war. Lucky or not, he was found and adopted by a Britannian soldier. He was later brought to the military base to be trained, to become an elite soldier in future.
Both players has clearly understood their character's pasts in the game. Then again, another window popped out again, asking: Where do you wish to be?
Player: Lelouch by default: 22. England
Player: Suzaku by default: 11. Japan
Other choices (not limited to only the selection below):
00: Britannia
01: Canada
02: America
03: Mexico
04: Columbia
05: Brazil
Etc.
Please do review your selection of country for both Suzaku and Lelouch and not just only 1 of them! No need to bother about the area numbers of the countries, simply stating which country will be fine. I wondered how many readers are willing to participate in this game. I am aiming for a minimum number of 10 reviews.
