"Wasn't today the day the beta of MOT would be released on?"

"Yes, it was! The long-awaited journey has finally ended."

"It looks like we will need to meet up inside MOT once we create an alternative account."

" Yeah! We should form and raided as one. but before that, we needed to buy a capsule if we wanted to play."

"Don't worry. The capsule will be on me. My parents reserve three extra capsule for their child to play with."

"Wow, so cool. It's so good to have a parent of one of the game producers of a large company."

"I envy you. Huhuhu!"

"That is nothing!"

MOT or also known as Mirror of Time. A game released by the SerVi Corps that takes over a million gamers within just half of its release.

A crazy online game that totally shakes the foundation of gaming production. This game varies to lead a life inside and live like someone who wasn't washed by time.

My classmates have been going on and on like someone who is crazy about it that even I who doesn't have interest in games know some information about such a game.

Mirror of Time varies from species to another. They offer various species, locations, and artifacts that help enhance the overall quality of the game. They offer a tremendous amount of new experience about a world different from earth. That is MOT.

The most popular aspect of the game was its realism. The promotional video released by SerVi Corps indicates it is realistic within the game that a person can feel, touch, and see. They say that a person could hundredly feel the reality of its worlds and senses.

The emotions they wear and even death could be felt too real. Some called it "the death game of all time."

But even if SerVi Corps indicates its danger as they weren't a hundred per cent of the safety of people on this beta, they were about to release. People still go crazy about it.

I, on the other hand, wasn't much of an addict gamers, but if we were talking about story books like novels and comics, then that would be something I can't deny. As I was an Otaku who was obsessed with books.

I was particularly obsessed with a lewd one. Well, if you were wondering what kind of lewdness I was indicating. Then it is a lewdness of a man has to another man.

Yes, I was long aware of who I was. In this time, they were gays and so was already opened. I, on the other hand, hide it because my parent were strict when it came to their child love. But even so, they truly love me. It was just me who was afraid that I would be denied by my own parents. So, I hide it!

"Son, you should try to mingle with other people as long as you could. You were about to graduate, and you haven't changed a bit. Are you just going to continue to be like that?"

My father said. His name was Dylan Von Lancaster, a chairman of VL Corporation. He is a stern man, but beneath his indifferent, he loves his family more than his works.

"Your dad is right, honey. We wanted more than anything but for your happiness. Even so, we can't just stay still knowing our child would be alone for the rest of its life. So we buy you a present."

My mother, Wisha Lancaster who was of beauty. She resembles a maiden of kindness and purity. She is the sole strength of our house.

And I was Lane Ashy Lancaster, the only child of this pretty rich household. We were currently eating dinner as I just got home from school. I know my parent love me so much that most of their time were given by taking care of my health rather than working. But I just couldn't get the strength to mingle with others. I don't know why.

"Hmmm! Would I care to see what present mom and dad have given to me?"

I take a bite of an apple, currently eating as I watch their eyes quickly looking at one another and soon pointed back at me.

"That would be a surprise. For sure you will love it, honey."

"Right, right."

They were such good parent that a child couldn't ask for anything more. I just gave them a nod as we continued to eat and converse with one another.

Now, we were in front of my room. I don't know why they needed to blindfold my eyes just to surprise me like this. But I couldn't hate it. This is just how they show they love to their child.

"Son, are you ready?" Dad called as I nodded once again. Within a second, the creaking sound of the door was heard, and they soon led me inside.

"Now, this is for you."

The happily shout of my mother, with the blindfold in my eyes being removed. Inflicted some excitement inside me..

"Now open eyes and see what it was. Come on, honey. Come on!"

I don't know if I would be angry with my mother for always treating me like a child even though I was already pretty much old. Or laughed at the playful act she was showing.

Hmm!

Opening my eyes, I saw a pair of women and a man in front of me. I tilted my head with confusion and asked, "Where is the present?" Then slowly and surely. They divert from one another, and a game capsule decorated in silver lines was shown.

"Surprise!"

Both said. I remain silent for a second. Yes, I wasn't happy with this time present. Because I am an otaku who only loves books. An otaku who doesn't play games. So how would I use it?

Must be because of my silence, my parent become worried as they approach me.

"Honey, we know you don't love interacting with others, and we know that you will hate us because of what we wanted to do for you. But, could you try at least even once. Even for a single use would be okay."

My mothers eyes were a bit teary, I could see their determination for wanting the best for their child. But here I was, still trying to be a d*ckhead.

What did I just do? My parents personally got me a gift to help me be more active like others, and here I was still hesitating about it.

"Just try it, son. Nothing will change if you don't try." The words my father successfully penetrated something within me.

My father was right. I was already too old to be winning something this small. At my age, I should be more active than my current self.

"Okay! I will try my best not to disappoint dad and mom."

I hugged them as tears flowed down quickly from my eyes, leaving nothing as if I didn't cry.

"Thank you!"

I couldn't help but let those words out from my mouth. And I could feel their warm hugs giving back.

"Nah, we should stop this already. We shouldn't delve too much on our emotions. This is your time, son. So make sure to play well."

"Right, what are we doing? Haha! Honey, good luck. Have a nice game."

"I will. Mom, dad."

And I was soon left alone in my room. I, without furthering the time to past by. I quickly read the instructions given to how the capsule operates. After reading it, I was about to moderately instigate what I learned, but then everything was already applied. The only thing to do was to go inside and play to my heart content.

"Those two, really! They just can't leave their child to do something alone. That is why I love them."

Entering the capsule, my consciousness soon turned white, and a robotic female guide appeared.

[Welcome to MOT - Mirror of Time.

Please proceed with the following procedure on how to create your character.

Please, make sure that every question was answered.]

Hmm! Now, it is time to create an account I see.

I soon created an account, barely naming myself as Penny and choosing the race of humans without any speciality and so on. While filling up my character, I got bored and just chose the ramble option in which the system will create you an account within a minute. This account will be applied once you have taken your first entry to your designated place.

[You wasted more than an hour to fill some of your information but will end choosing the ramble option? Really, what luck to be appointed with a man like you.] Her robotic voice echoed.

What? Did I just get reprimanded about my shitty skills? Huh! Even though I know that the realistic of this game is top-notch. I never knew it would be this shit.

No, I should refrain myself from being angry. I come here to learn, not to fight with a child.

[Now, you will be transported to your choice.]

Shrugging out, my conciseness once again entered a white place. And I could see a red message at the top. Indicating...

Warning! Warning!

A virus inflicted the system.

You are under threat.

You are under threat.

Please be guided to the following rules.

I couldn't read everything, only the warning notice before I was completely suck by a force.

On the other place and time, a man in the human-beasts form was having its last day of its life.

"Snake demon slave, the day you pay for your sins has arrived."

"We all gathered here to stop your wickness and lead a new path for life. If you voluntarily accept your sins and destroy your cultivation, we will make sure to lessen the punishment befallen on you."

"If you let your sprite rest at the hands of the righteous sect, then your punishment will be nulled emidiately."

The crowd of beasts people gather, wearing a robe that of an ancient attire. Beneath this crowd of power, hunger beasts stands a man at the very top of a mountain facing the crowd who wants to take his life.

That was me. The snake demon they were talking about. I let a laugh, as disgusting as it could.

"Heh! The punishment will be nulled? Are we playing with a kid? Do you all think that I wouldn't know what you all have in mind? Every piece of you wanted to take my sprite and be the holder of such power. After that, of course, it will be the death of the most evil beasts on the land. How funny you treat me like a fool."

Each beast began to take a step back at a time as they were afraid of what I would do. Needless to say...

'This life that I had had failed me to achieve what I wanted. Perhaps this is the limit of what I could do.'

The sprite in my body soon glowed as the crowd began to yell to stop me from using my Sprite, but it was already too late for them. My sprite has been slowly being activated before I could even step foot on this mountain.

As they charge toward my body, a booming sound echoed that left a big hole at the top of the mountain where I stand. Some died from the impact, and some were wounded. But all their eyes were pointed to a single location. A location where a man should be standing but couldn't be seen anymore. He totally dissappear from this time and place.

"A great tragedy now will fall to this continent. I could only wish, the me on that time would survive!"
