I watch the news report as I see people holding the game and console boxes, all screaming with joy and excitement as long lines of people line up to buy the console and game.

“The stores are finally selling the Rift Void and Fantasia, there are so many people lining up right now! I have also got one of the games myself; this is going to be such a fantastic moment in our world history.” I hear the sounds of the News reporter coming from my headphones as I stare at the computer screen.

I watch the timer on my left computer screen slowly go down, every second it reached closer to the server going on… 2 Minutes – 3 Seconds… 2 Minutes – 2 Seconds…

I go towards my Rift Void; I pull out the charger cord and plug it into my Rift Void. As I plug the other side into a power outlet, my Rift Void begins to charge as I turn back to look towards my computer, seeing the timer tick down… 1 Minute – 21 Seconds…

“Brother, I’m leaving now!” I hear my sister yell towards my window as I look and watch her walk away. I turn away, putting on the Rift Void, I lie down on my bed as I check everything is operational, I close my eyes as I say “Sync Engage!” The count down on my left computer screen ticks down… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…

I stand in a blank, white, empty room as a keyboard is in front of me, I see a borderless screen saying, “Login”
“Username: _____”

“Password: __________”

I type in the username I used in the beta, ‘China,’ I use the same password I set as it brings me into the character creation screen. I select the <Magician> class, looking through the customization; I changed my character to look like I did in the beta. I choose the simple nerdy like hairstyle adapting it to what I looked like in real life, wearing frameless glasses. Selecting the blue eye colour and make my character tall and semi-thin the way I liked it, I had a smile on my cheek as I watch my character come to life. I begin to see what will fit well with my character, as I wait for the channels on the server opens up. The last customization I had to do was "Insert your Character Name."

'Orekei'

I think push my finger softly on the confirm button, a while light appears as I teleport into Fantasia. I wear the basic clothing, I already seen several players walked around town as I look around and accept quests. I walk around the hunting grounds seeing the nice warm breeze flow through the grasslands, the monsters waltzing around and engaging into combat was a calm scene.
