End Online: Volume 1 Read Online Free PDF Page B

returning to the real world. To do this all you
need to do is look straight forward and try to press the power button at the
top right of your vision. The menu will then open in front of you.
     
    However this can only be done from your home locker,
where you are now, and not from inside a game, you must first leave the game to
do this. In the case of an emergency you can say "system command terminate
connection" to forcefully disconnect at any time, but please refrain from
doing so as game information can become corrupted or deleted.
     
    Thank You
     
    Wow, what a lengthy message.
I dismiss that one too and no more pop up, it seems quite simple enough. The
size of my locker that I’m in is considerably large, about 30 meters
in wide and the same long, The ceiling is about 6 meters high, and on one
of the walls there is a panel, walking over to it I-
    Wait, walking? I look down
to see I’m standing two perfectly healthy legs that move as I tell them to, I
don’t even care that I’m completely nude. Pinching my legs revealed I can
feel the pain, dulled through the VL sure, but still! It was like being
caught in a building collapse and crushing my spine was nothing more than
a mere dream.
    Yet, at the same time it
had a real bitterness to it, reminding me of what I have lost and will never
get back again.
    My locker is a little
boring, it’s just four white walls, but at least it’s clean. I wonder if there
is a way to customize it, that would definitely be
nice. I move in front of the panel and I can see that there are a few options
but the only one I am currently interested in is the ‘Connect to End Online’
button.
    Pressing it causes the
room around me to dissolve, it was a little weird,
because whilst I was still standing, I couldn’t feel a hard surface beneath my
feet. A script starts playing out in the bottom right of my vision and before I
know it I am standing in an endless grass meadow that extends as far as my eyes
can see.
    In front of me there is a
perfect copy of me, embarrassingly naked still, but me. In front is a menu that
allows some minor adjustments to the body, such as muscle tone, hair and skin
tan. Playing around I manage to turn myself into a carrot, before resetting the
changes and just continuing as I normally am. Hopefully I won’t begin this game
naked, surely that must be a massive breach in personal privacy.
    Next comes server
selection, a list of available servers with my city already preselected comes up, all I need to do is press ‘OK’. A map that I
assume is of the game replaces the server list. Three points
glow with the names Swordbreak , Grenton and Iceridge. I randomly decide and press on
Iceridge and the image disappears. Every strand of grass beneath me suddenly
turns into fog, enveloping everything.
    It disperses quite quickly
however, looking down I can start to see my body wearing a thick white coat,
grey pants and chunky brown boots. Once it is completely gone I
realize I am lying down on a thick stone alter at the far end of a giant
church. There are a few stray icicles hanging down from the ceiling and a I can feel a cold breeze passing over my exposed fingers
and face.
    Shaking off the
disorientation of going from standing up to lying down, I get up and inspect
the area. There isn’t anything particularly odd or unusual about the church,
but there is a tiny icon of a wolf in a circle at the bottom right of my
vision, and no matter where I turn it stays there. It doesn’t take me long to
realize if I try to touch it without moving my head it opens up the menu for
equipment, backpack, and a large panel for status.
