Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 1: This Is Elysium 1

It really didn't matter what people said, a trait of necromancy was a bad idea, he knew that for a fact but it wasn't as if he had any other choice. In this day and age how many people ported into a virtual world would be reborn as nothing less than stellar with the best attributes, and at the very least the most comfortable of backgrounds.

But Rezar had one stroke of bad luck after the other, while he had no memories of his past life, or rather it would be easier to say he had no fundamental memories. He had no idea what his previous given name was, who his parents were; of if he had any siblings or other loved ones. What he could remember however in regards to people were his enemies, and the reason why he was reborn in a slave mining town as the son of a prostitute, and even worse why he wasn't given any class at birth, but a trait that simply read {Son of Death}.

But then again there were too many disjointed information, it would be best to start at the very beginning. Or at the very least; what the teenager known as Rezar Deathwind, could actually remember of the beginning. Apparently he had slept with the girlfriend of a rather famous playboy from earth, his reasons being....revenge. What it was the playboy did to him, he actually couldn't remember, but the ensuing chaos saw him getting arrested for ****, with the girlfriend being all too eager to throw him under the bus after knowing she was just a tool in his plot for revenge, aha! She wasn't the girlfriend at all, she was the mother.

Rezar smiled to himself at the thought, he was a bit surprised that he wasn't as upset at his current situation, but that was probably due to the fact that he felt somewhat vindicated. But long story short he was sentenced to life in prison, which if you ask me was a steep price to pay for fucking an old woman who was all too keen to have her old cooch re-serviced.

This place, or rather this world was Elysium, and it was a virtual world, the only of its kind still in existence. From what Rezar could remember, there used to be hundreds of virtual worlds if not thousands, all connected to a single network that led to a hub that was the prime. One well organized terrorist attack and they all died, along with the billions of people connected to it. That was the second coming of the dark ages for mankind, population was cut by more than seventy percent, and nations were left without leaders and democracy pretty much died out. Fast forward two or three hundred years into the future, and the earth was ruled by kings, queens' emperors, nobles, chiefs, councils, chancellors etc.

Luckily technology did not regress and it was still advancing, population expanded, the norms of society changed. A woman would have five husbands with a strong enough body to bear multiple children for each of them, assuming she's one of those purists who think the old way was the best way.

Or she could just have the baby grown in a stasis pod, Rezar wasn't exactly sure how that worked, neither did he care. He might not remember who his mother was, but at least he knew he was born the old fashion way.

With the implementation of the stasis pods, genes could be altered. A child would be born smarter, stronger, faster, healthier, more handsome or beautiful, an elite of the new world and they haven't even grown an ear. It would have been the perfect world except for one very real and in escapable problem, and that was death.

Yeah, that was the one thing they could never escape, sure the average human life span was about 300 hundred years with a maximum of 400 years, enough to achieve a lot of things, but it was just not enough. And so Elysium was created, a world where you could have that life of immortality as many times as you want. A game that was ever growing and ever expanding to accommodate the sheer amount of people surging into it every day to escape death.

In Elysium when you want to upload your consciousness, you would be allowed a chance to customize your look and background. However a special class and trait would be given to you, much in the same manner how in the real world someone would be born smarter or could sing better than others.

You lived a full life from childhood to adulthood, you could choose to be ordinary and be a simple farmer or go on adventures and slay dragons and achieve pseudo immortality by gaining higher levels and stats. But just like the real world even in Elysium all life must end, and then it resumes, starting all over again, and again, and again. Your reincarnation can take up your old post of power or you could make a new one.

The tradeoff however was the fact that with each reincarnation pieces of your old life are shaved off and deleted, to enable you to move forward and not hold on to unnecessary sentiments. And it will continue that way until earth has become whispers on the lips of strangers, while you're fully a part of this world, or Elysium.

In Elysium there are no NPC's except for those that handle the system's administration, the ones known as the gods, demons, angels etc. everyone in here at one point or the other had been a human on earth, and now Rezar was one of them, however his story was not as simple or as straight forward as those of the others. He was stuck in a world of immortality with a curse disguised as a blessing, a slave and prisoner with nowhere else to turn to, but to slave away, reincarnation after reincarnation in a mining town filled with slaves on the fringes of civilization, what a perfect life.
