The Early Online Dream

Episode 2 Who are you..?

Lara turned her face then turned around and moved her mouth.

‘’Menu’’ says Lara with her heavy voice

In an instant, a hologram screen appeared in front of him that looks like the latest advanced Mobile OS display today. The screen is transparent so users can still see what is behind their screen. In addition, the screen can also be widened, reduced or shifted according to what the user wants.

Lara does not seem rigid playing the hologram screen in front of her, she looks like she is very experienced in using the features in it.

Lara first slightly made some settings related to her account privacy next she set some settings related to the sensitivity level of motion sensors, lighting and so on.

After being satisfied with some of the arrangements he made, he, without thinking long Lara chose the Game menu in the form of a playstation Icon controller in the upper right corner of the screen and then it looks there are three choices of games that can be played there.

There used to be a lot of game choices that can be played. In fact, many people are confused about which one to play. But, now there are only three VR games that can be played by people around the world. This is not because there are no other gaming companies that are unwilling to create Virtual Reality games.

However, there is a quota limit rule on Virtual Reality type games that is only limited to 3 Games. This rule was made 50 years ago by the government because of something unknown.

The three game options in front of Lara are E-sport, Point Blank, and lastly Dream Online. These are 3 games that can be played in Virtual reality now

E-sport is a sports game like football, cricket and so on. E-Sports have been around for a very long time and still survive today

In E-sport most players are retired athletes in the real world who have lost their heyday.But there are also still active athletes who play in it.

In E-sport is different from the real world, in the game everyone is at their best, while in the real world it is impossible to do it.

What is interesting in E-sport is where the great legends of the sports world compete against each other on the field, now even E-Sport itself is becoming more popular than the sport that exists in the real world now.

On the other hand Point Blank is a very popular teamwork war game, this game is fairly new but can also be said to be old because it is a remested result of old Online Games which are also very popular in the 20th century.

Point Blank Virtual reality has only been launched 5 years and is quite successful even has become one of the sports that were at the Olympics in the previous year along with E-Sport. Their audience and fan numbers now even beat E-Sport .

Then lastly is Dream Online this game is completely new release a few days and become most popular with millions of players who enter and exit every few tens of minutes.

Without thinking Lara immediately chose Dream Online along with that Lara's view back whitened and then changed again quickly.

Lara sees a large Blue Spinning Cristal right not far in front of her because Lara is an old game enthusiast she thinks Cristal is almost the same as the game that used to be very popular in the 20th century final Fantasy is called Cristal Croconiels.

Lara walked closer to Cristal trying to look closer but as she tried to get closer to Cristal a woman emerged from the void by hovering right in front of Cristal, Lara stopped her steps and looked at the blue haired beauty with those cristal eyes who then spoke.

‘’Who are you?’’ asked Lara who somehow Lara felt she recognized her.The woman did not open her mouth but Lara heard her voice in her head along with that a screen appeared in front of her.

He was asked to write his name in a column with a blinking cursor. Seeing that immediately Lara knew her point. But, Lara did not care about that and spoke to the woman directly.

‘’I Lara.. Who are you?. have we met?’’ lara asked curiously at the woman who looked familiar to her

‘’Lara... I'll say what you want to know if we meet again someday’’ the woman finally opens her mouth .

Lara wanted to ask further but she could no longer speak anything. All of his gazes had turned white again then slowly faded away.

Lara is transferred to a place that became her initial foothold in the Dream Online game. Lara felt her gaze begin to change replaced by the appearance of a crowd like a market with various commotion.

‘’Welcome to Dream Online’’ the voice in Lara's head sounds very clear

Lara has been browsing on the internet about Dream Online and she recognizes this place as the City of Duran. A fairly famous city that existed in the southernmost area of the kingdom of Philotas.

Then after realizing he had become the center of attention of the people around. Lara was aware that her appearance had not changed at all. she was still the same as her original self without the slightest change.

But as it was already immune to all the fearful and disgusted gazes Lara's people immediately walked over like nothing had happened. His feet were definitely heading towards the crowd with his huge body reaching 2 meters high.

He was so big and terrifying like a monster in the eyes of the people who saw him. Lara is now 30 years old and has been in this condition for more than half of her life. In his early days when he was in such a state, his life was very difficult. But time made him understand and accept everything that had happened in his past.

‘’see.see the man he is very ugly, his face is so disgusting I want to vomit see him’’ the voice of a woman is heard in the crowd who is staring at Lara who is walking with her eyes focused forward

‘’hush... don't like to say someone else’’ others reprimand the woman

Lara's gaze now focused on the gate of a dojo that was a training ground for someone who wanted to become a Warior and as she stood just below the gate to try to enter the dojo the doorkeeper stopped her steps.

‘’You can't get in here’’ the guard spoke rudely to him and didn't even hesitate to point a gun at him

‘’I want to learn,..the others can enter why don't I?’’ Lara questioned with her heavy voice.

‘’look at you, are you sure you're human?’’ ask the guard who is an NPC. Lara was surprised to see the NPC in front of her insulting her. Lara is not angry or upset by it and she instead looks rather happy because of the realistic nature of Dream Online Games that even display the true nature of a human being in general.

Lara has seen several similar Games before and she is aware that compared to previous games Dream Online is better than the Emotion NPC angle while for other aspects Lara has not taken into account.

Lara was again surprised by what was displayed on her screen then she laughed because after reading the information on her status related to the advantages and disadvantages of her character that seemed to reflect on herself.

Finished by looking at the status of his character and quite satisfied he chose to check his Inventory there were 1 bottle of water and several pieces of dark bread inside.

After checking every menu he went to church. As she read the status of her character she had a close affinity for the good light element, Lara also had a strong physique as well as a tall body.

Lara has read and learned from various media and from her experience playing games first. Lara thought that with her body and strength she was best suited to become a Paladin.

A shield-wielding person standing in the leading position dispels any attack that is the duty of a Paladin in a battle.
