MMORPG: Strongest Assassin Online

After eating, Alex put on a normal white top with a black design, and black jean pant, he loved the color black and today was no different.

Finally, he looked at his phone to check the time, the time was [9:00 A.M]

"They would be opened by now," Alex said and slid his phone in his pocket, he proceeded to take his credit card and looked at himself in the mirror before leaving his apartment.

Alex always knew he was handsome, but to him, it didn't really matter, girls would flock over him and sometimes confess their feelings, but he would always dismiss them politely or laugh it off as a joke.

The only time that he dated was back in high school, even though they went off to different college he still had feelings for her, because she was his first love.

The weather was friendly today as Alex walked down the street, every step mattered to him, he was going to spend his entire saving on a bronze grade VR helmet.

Alex walked a few hundred meters before coming to a stop, this wasn't where he was heading but the sign outside the shop made him stop.

[VR helmet at a reduced price]

Though the sign didn't state the exact amount that was reduced, Alex couldn't pass up the opportunity and quickly rushed in to purchase his own.

As Alex approached the door, the door was opened from the inside before he could open it, the store was very busy and excited teens and adults filled the store.

Two teenage boys left the store smiling with a package in their hands, a small picture of a VR helmet was drawn with the sign Nova Online.

'Wow, even though it has already been four months since the release, the game sales is still at its peak' Alex said inwardly as he looked at the store.

Alex pulled through the crowd of many teens standing and talking about the game, they were at least four counters and all of them were filled.

Alex grabbed one of the lowest-grade VR helmets and saw a tag on it [800$]

He quickly took the helmet and joined one of the lines with fewer people, they were few girls in line staring at Alex trying to get his attention but he didn't mind them.

He purchased the VR helmet and quickly exited the busy store with a smile, he got his paycheck from both of his jobs yesterday, he had been saving since the release of the game till now and finally he bought the VR helmet.

After buying the game and almost emptying his wallet Alex didn't seem distressed at all instead he was thrilled about the new world he was about to enter.

He had played other Virtual reality games but none of them could compare to Nova Online.

He left the bustle and hustle of the store and walked back to his apartment.

After walking for some time he finally reached the building he was staying at, he walked up the stairs to the second floor where his apartment was.

"Alex, is that the game I've been seeing on TV?" Miss rose asked as she came out of her apartment.

"Yes, miss rose" Alex replied politely.

"Isn't that expensive..." she asked with a worried look on her face.

"Yes, but I got it at a reduced price, bye miss Rose," Alex said and quickly entered his apartment.

"Kids these days, at least he's not like the others who flock around with girls," Miss Rose said before walking downstairs.

Alex carefully dropped the VR helmet and remove it from the box, it contained the usual helm he had been seeing from other players.

"How do you turn it on," Alex said and looked around the VR helmet till he found a small button and switched it to the other side.

Alex connected the VR helmet to his wifi and was ready to start before his phone rang in his pocket.

It was his mum calling, she probably wanted to ask if he was alright.

'I can't tell her I bought this game, I would never hear the end of it' Alex said inwardly but before he could pick the call his mind flashed back to the horrible nightmare he had.

'It's just a nightmare, there are no vampires in this world' Alex assured himself before answering the call.

"Hello Alex" his mother spoke as soon as he answered the call.

"Hello mum, how are you" Alex took the lead and ask her first.

"You know, same as always I'm fine, what about you honey,"

"I'm good, so why did you call," Alex asked cause he knew she wanted to say something.

"Do I need a reason to call my only son"

"No you don't...but you have a reason right mum," Alex said with laughter.

"Well you know the semester is over and you are currently on break right"

"Yes..." Alex said

"Why don't you come home... only for a while, I know you like it there but we've missed you" Alex's mum said in a soft voice.

"Maybe, yea maybe I will, I'm tired of this place," Alex said and his mum was joyous.

"You are tired of the place, is it the apartment, do you want a new place" his mum quickly asked.

"No mum...it's not the apartment, I'm just missing you guys at home," Alex said.

"So when will you be coming"

"I'm going to call as soon as I sort through my stuff and make preparations" Alex replied.

"We'll be expecting your call, I love you honey" his mum said before ending the call.

Alex kept his phone down on his bed with excitement visible on his face. He sat down on his bed with his back against the wall and quickly slid the helmet onto his head.

[Connecting...]

Alex was smiling as he stared at the floating words in front of him.

Everything changed and the next moment and he appeared in a vast grassland.

[Connected]

[Hello user]

[Welcome to Nova Online]

A voice sounded in Alex's ears, "Okay, so what's next".

His environment turn pitch black and a huge timer was in front of him counting down.

[00:10...]

[00:07...]

[00:05...]

[00:01...]

Alex suddenly appeared in a forest, green tall trees filled the place making it a great scenery, cool breeze collided with Alex skin and he smiled brightly as it felt so real.

[Hello user]

A voice sounded, but this time it came from behind him, Alex turned back and saw a female robot smiling at him.

"Hello..." Alex said back.

[Choose your name]

The robot girl spoke with a smile.

Alex thought about the name he could use, all the good names would have been taken by now.

"Alex I suppose"

[This name has been taken]

Alex knew what was going to happen but he didn't expect someone would use their real name, so he tried to think of other names. In most of the games he played, he used his real name as his in-game name because the names he usually come up with are not that good.

"I don't have any decent name, I don't want to be blood or death or war, I want to be something like..."

[May I suggest a name for you]

"Huh...Yes, that would be great," Alex said and waited patiently.

[How would you feel about Reaper]

"Hmm, Reaper I like it," Alex said.

The word [Reaper] appeared on top of Alex's head.
