(This story is the same as the other one, I'm just making some changes so anyone else who wants to add to this branch are able to make their own characters and/or options.)

Jon selected the Skip Intro button and waited until the box faded and the screen brightened again. He then selected the Start New Adventure button. Trumpets blared from the speakers and the screen zoomed in on the map, closing in on a small village with the name Summermoor displayed above it.

The layout of the village was small and not a lot of the buildings were lit up nor were the accessible; when he tried clicking on them nothing happened. In fact the only building lit up was the Silver Vixen Meadhall. Jon started to move the pointer toward the Meadhall when, again, the screen became dull and another box popped up. This box was asking for Jon to fill in his information so he could set up his profile. Jon quickly entered his Email address, name, birth date, and password, then clicked the submit button and waited for the game to approve him.

After waiting for a few seconds the box flashed and the words changed, congratulating him on joining the game; but as it did so, Jon shivered as he felt a strange chilling sensation wash over him. He quickly shook it off and focussed back on the game, he then clicked on the tavern and the screen zoomed in again and faded to black. The screen then faded back, showing the main room of the tavern. A fire roared in the massive stone fireplace along the back wall as a young man wearing an apron turning a spitted pig over the flames. A few patrons were sitting at four circular tables talking, singing, laughing and drinking with each other like old friends. The bartender stood behind his bar cleaning a tankard with a rag while a pair of barmaids, garbed in revealing dresses, scurried around the room carrying trays piled high with tankards of drink and plates of food.

Jon was amazed by the game's graphics, everything was so detailed that it looked almost realistic and not the usual cartoony/cheap look. Jon tapped his arrow keys, spinning the view around to take in the whole room. He then decided to try moving forward, but as soon as he 'took a step', the bartender looked up from his work and waved him over. The Screen panned over to the jolly looking man as he set the tankard aside and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Welcome Adventurer, to the Silver Vixen! Might I ask who you are?" the bartender asked and the screen blurred as a box filled the screen, with the words 'Character Creator' at the top.

'Hmm,' Jon pondered, 'What shall I do?'
