VRMMO | Terris Story: Someone "Them"

02:B.Beginning, Start

Time was relative and that was the fact, because Linnea had experienced it herself.

As if only the day before he had been scolded, the truth was that a week had passed. If not for seeing the date on her computer, the girl would have forgotten the day.

Just as Linnea revealed the terrible condition of her room, Lia gave her a simple smile; with the addition of a gripping death aura background.

The girl inevitably got the relentless bombardment of scolding. Including from the servants who had to clean up his room, who gave a long lecture of all time without caring about the eyes of the girl who already looked lifeless.

Not enough, his own brother also contributed to scolding him all out where that was when his figure and pride as a brother was destroyed, lost to atoms.

Then in the end, no more rooms were locked tightly together with his secret. And to prevent that from happening again later on, the girl's room duplicate key was created to keep an eye on her. Which was then held by several people including Lia, Haris and his own sister who insisted on watching over the brother.

. . .

"Kakaaak. . ." a sweet whimper was heard in the library of the Amaryllis family.

Linnea also reluctantly responded to hearing his sister's whining. "Hmn, what's wrong?"

"Sister, sorryin Luna. . , Luna had previously missed. B-but, sister herself kok her room can. . can. . ."

Perplexed at finding the right word to describe her sister's room which was too overwhelming, Luna finally fell silent and started to think hard.

On the other hand, Linnea only gave a short sigh when she heard it. He himself no longer thought about it, because he admitted that he deserved to be scolded.

. . . But!

The matter of his attitude that seemed to ignore his own sister was a different matter. For as long as Luna is near the calm that the girl wants will never come.

Especially now, where he wants to spend a few days relaxing by reading a book.

Unfortunately, the way he ignored Luna ended up being a weapon to eat master which caused Luna to misunderstand the attitude of the sister. And turned into an apology that came in exaggeratedly.

Linnea who was feeling enough with it gave up, and turned to look at Luna who was bowed lethargic next to her; slowly stroking her sister's head gently.

"Forget it. . ."

"Sir. . Don't hate Luna?" ask her with a clear face and teary eyes.

as an elder sister, Linnea instantly felt like her heart was being pierced by a merciless needle. And because of that, he was made to groan slowly. ". . . Ukh—"

Smiling stiffly, Linnea then replied.

". . . Nein."

How could he hate his sister so much? If that happens, there is something wrong with him.

. . .

At that place, the sister who was sitting side by side looked in contrast.

Having a very similar face, with one look people can conclude if the two have a blood relationship. And not infrequently there are also those who mistakenly think that the two are twins.

However, even with a similar face, there are some exceptions. One of them is the color of the hair they have. Larena in fact, Luna has dark black hair that is shiny like the night sky. Contrary to Linnea who had silver white hair like a star.

Therefore, the two are often dubbed as the princess of the night sky.

Linnea herself had often heard about it, both her sister and herself. But sometimes, he is actually upset because of something that concerns his pride as a brother.

Seeing herself growing too late, Linnea had to lose to her own sister even though both of them had a two-year lifespan. That's where her position as an older sister is often reversed with Luna, when viewed from someone else's point of view.

For that reason, Linnea ended up hating a song that had the lyrics 'little star' in it; feeling that the song was meant to mock her.

Filled with a deteriorating feeling from thinking about it, the girl's hand involuntarily clasped her sister's head firmly.

"—Kakaak. . ! it hurts!" shouted Luna, who immediately tried to free her head from the death grip of her brother.

"Eh. . ? Sorry. . ."

"Sir. . ." Luna looked at her sister with watery eyes in pain. "sister hated Luna. . ! Hueeeee!"

And Linnea immediately found her eyebrows twitching at the behavior of her sister. But as a brother, he certainly has his own way of dealing with it.

. . . Ultimate Move—'s

"—Karate chop."

"Dam!" Luna immediately closed her eyes and protected her head unconsciously, because not once or twice she received painful hand slashes from her brother.

However, this time Linnea did not send out a hand slash as anticipated by Luna, but gently stroked the black hair back.

". . .Don't cry."

"Eh. .hehe~"

That day, Linnea ended up spending time reading books with her sister who was sleeping sweetly in the lap.

. . .Linnea's fondness for printed books and paper has actually become a rarity in the present.

Mainly because of the restrictions on the use of paper, and also physical printing which is no longer considered advantageous.

The library where they are now can also be considered as a museum that contains books aged several decades and over — which is an exclusive item of high value because of its authenticity and print date.

And from the books, mythology became the thing that most often attracted the girl after the book containing the history of the world. Forget if some of the stories themselves seem to be written by people who have drunk Premium drinks, and maybe Bio Solar.

One of them is the story of how Hemaprodite creatures can be created.

—No. Forgetit. It is better that the story be buried forever.

. . .

Unknowingly, the sky had already turned red, and the sun had begun to be swallowed at the end of the horizon. After the day's activities, Linnea woke up her sister and parted ways in front of the library; for their rooms were at the far and wide end of each other.

Entering her own room, Linnea flushed down her body while glancing at the clock on the computer screen that was still on.

"In a minute. . , huh?" Linnea Mumbles.

'. . . What time is it?' ask a voice that appears suddenly in his head.

"Ah, Alice's night." greeted Linnea when she found Alice finally awake, then turned to answer her question. "Um, now 18:43. . ."

'Oh, I'm staying a little while longer. Well, I wonder if that tool also thinks I'm real?' chirps Alice, with curiosity that is fixed on a Virtual Reality capsule in the corner of room — that has been there since a week ago.

But the sentence Alice said involuntarily made Linnea tremble. "Ali-t. . ."

Alice, who finally realized that she had mispronounced, panicked. 'Joking, I'm kidding. . ! Don't cry!'

"Not a whiny. . !" deny Linnea with a pouting expression.

'But your tears are coming out, you. . ."

Linnea rubbed her eyes quickly in embarrassment. "Maou. . ."

Fragile. Linnea was like a glass sphere that could shatter into pieces at any moment when Alice was not there by her side.

Even if Alice had told her she wanted to sleep, Linnea was always afraid and worried that Alice would suddenly disappear forever. Therefore, the sentence Alice had said earlier was humped to make Linnea really feel scared for a moment.

—Other acquisition, Alice had a habit of sleeping for a reason; with Alice entering a sleep state, Linnea was able to get through the day without having to rely on her caffeine tablets.

. . . Which might be similar to Power Saving mode?

But Alice herself rarely did that given how scared Linnea was to be left alone.

'Already. . . While you can, find the game guide. . . Erm, wait, what's his name?'

"Terris: Limitless, Alice."

Waking up from her bed, Linnea turned to sit in front of her computer and began searching for what she needed on the internet. Without difficulty, the search engine he used immediately gave rise to many things related to the game.

'Oh, that's more famous than I thought.' Alice chirped.

And of the many information raised, Linnea chose the official page Terris: Limitless without thinking.

000:00:13:19

A countdown appeared welcoming him, which was nothing but a countdown to the opening of the game's server; which has been awaited by many people around the world.

Sekai Shard, who is the main developer of Terris : Limitless is eager to promote the game they made on various platforms both Online and Offline.

Not only that.

In several Livestream shows on Y-Tube and leading TV Stations, Sekai Shard often invites Gamers who are lucky enough to be part of Beta Tester Terris. And in the show, the Beta Testers always say about how realistic Terris is, and the elements are quite refreshing for connoisseurs of Fantasy-Adventure RPG games.

—Although there are also many people who give negative comments and are skeptical, but it comes from those who do not or have not felt it directly.

But regardless of how high the Hype was, Linnea herself did not know too much about it given her closed self, or indeed closed herself off against the outside world.

"VRMMO. . , yes? And, Classless system?" murmured Linnea with slightly raised eyebrows.

The more he read the explanation on his computer screen, he slowly showed interest in the game.

Indeed, the concept of a Classless or classless system in an RPG game is no longer new. However, to Linnea who had not touched something like that for a long time, an anticipation and a feeling of nostalgia arose in her heart.

Although he used to only play ordinary games through his computer, which could even be said to be a bit behind, Linnea always enjoyed it with Alice.

"Limitless, huh?" Linnea finally understood the origin of the game's naming.

With freedom completely belonging to the player, it was not an exaggeration to pin the word 'Limitless', or indefinitely. Because, it is explained if each player is free to do whatever they want during play. But of course with a law of cause and effect, where they must dare to bear the consequences of what has been done.

Terris : Limitless is a world filled with fantasy elements such as magic, fictional races and monsters — including mythological creatures, which makes Linnea show eyes shining when he knows it.

Meanwhile, the main setting of the game itself is located in the days of the kingdom with mid-technology, but of course with the intervention of magic that is quite interesting.

Continuing to the next point, as a game with RPG elements, Terris has a parameter system like most similar games; which in general is, a,

Health (HP, Hit Point), part of the vital element that refers to the total health of the player and how much damage (Damage) can be received before reaching death (Death, Game Over, etc.).

Mana (MP, Magic Point), a unique element used in fantasy to activate special abilities to cause certain effects.

And Stamina (AP, Action Point, Energy, etc.), which often refers to how much action a player can take before reaching the point of exhaustion.

But not only limited by those three things, Terris added two things that other games sometimes do not add.

". . . Hunger, and Thirst?" Linnea was fixated on thinking about those two statuses. ". . . Survival RPG?"

'Oh, that's getting interesting!' alice said with an enthusiastic tone.

As written there, the element of Survival or survival is finally confirmed by the presence of hunger status (Hunger) and Haus (Thirst), which makes this game more interesting for both.

Continuing, Linnea finally arrived at the basic parameters of the player character consisting of six main things.

Strength, which clearly represents physical and muscular strength.

Agility, showing agility in the speed of motion and action of the body.

Dexterity, dexterity that involves skill and mastery in all fields.

Intelligence, intelligence that is very instrumental in the increase of magic attacks as well as Mana capacity.

Vitality, or vitality includes Health, Stamina and character resilience.

And lastly Endurance, which is involved in body resistance and Stamina.

But Terris has a uniqueness that distinguishes it from most games, where the entirety of the six main statistics written has been arranged in a growth correction per level called Potentia.

Where Potentia itself is affected by several factors, including the race that the player chooses during the character creation phase.

For example; if a player chooses a human race, then that player character has been designed to get a numerical increase of 1.0 points on each of the six main parameters (Strength, Agility, Dexterity, Intelligence, Vitality, etc, Endurance) per increase in level*.

Even so, there is a statistical value allocation system called Potentia Point; where each Potentia Point will add a statistical growth correction of 0.1 per level, while each player will be equipped with 10 Potentia Points at the beginning of the game. Where this makes the variation of the character growth of each player will be very broad and unique.

Yet the growth of the statistics themselves is not fixated solely on Potentia and race correction. Because the actions taken by players can also affect the statistical value in real terms.

. . .

Finished reading the basic guide, Linnea leaned back on the chair and stretched her slightly achy back.

'Potentia Point is pretty interesting, right? Where would you like to add it?' ask Alice.

"Everything, to Intelligence, or Strength, maybe?" replied Linnea without a second thought.

'Glass Cannon, again?' alice said flatly, as if she had expected it.

"Indeed."

. . . Glass Cannon, or glass cannon, is a term intended for a Damage Dealer type that easily values massive damage to enemies, but is otherwise easily destroyed if it receives damage; as the name implies, a glass cannon. And Linnea very often wears this type in any game if that's possible.

". . . It's already started" Linnea said as soon as she saw the count of server opening had reached zero.

'Well, let's go in.'

Moving on, Linnea approached the capsule in white which had been placed since a week ago.

But, various negative thoughts soon pervaded the girl, who inevitably made her hesitate.

'What is this. . will be, alright. . ?' thought in the heart.

But with Alice giving her a boost, Linnea finally entered the capsule. And after finding out if everything was ready, Linnea finally muttered a sentence.

". . . Dive Start, Terris: Limitless"

And in response to the girl's words, her consciousness was immediately withdrawn from her body, until she found that her gaze had been exposed to an all-white room.
