Unable to stop it, Jon's hand moved the cursor over to an icon resembling a sword and shield, titled "DotSS RPG." Before he had time to think what it was, he double-clicked it, and was blinded by a bright flash.
When Jon awoke, he found himself standing in... nothing. There was just blackness that surrounded him on all sides. A small spotlight seemed to glow down on him from above, but he couldn't see anything else, anywhere.
Glancing down, he noticed that his clothes had dissappeared; only a pair of black boxers remained. Looking around, Jon tried in vain to see something, anything through the darkness.
"Hello?" he called out, starting to get a little afraid. As if reacting to his call, Jon jumped slightly as a large brown square appeared floating in the air in front of him. Something was written on it in white lettering:
[Welcome, Hero, to Destiny of the Shining Souls.]
Jon blinked, as the square dissappeared to be replaced by a new one.
**[To begin your quest, you must first create a character.]
[Please select a gender.]
[Male]
[Female]**
Jon, realising what was happening, approached the textbox to select male. Before he could reach it, however, a white arrow appeared beside the word "Male" and moved down, selecting "Female" instead.
Jon gasped and braced himself for the worst, though to his surprise the only change was his boxers shrinking slightly, becoming a pair of black briefs as a matching black strip appeared over his chest. Immediately another textbox appeared.
[Please choose your heroine's name.]
Beneath the words was a smaller, blank textbox for entering a name; Jon could hear clicking as the letters J-o-n appeared in it. Both textboxes disappeared, accepting the name as another one appeared.
[Please choose your heroine's class.]
This textbox had a drop-down menu attached; Jon watched as it opened up, revealing a variety of fantasy style classes including Knight, Mage, Thief and a few others. Jon could hear some more clicking before the menu suddenly expanded, including a much larger variety; clearly whoever was playing had just used a cheat code.
The highlighter ran through the various classes before it finally settled on...
