[2] fated to be miserable

Before logging in, Rianon spent her time researching about the game. They conducted a survey to know which class truly dominated the game and it goes as follow; mage, paladin, fighter, rogue and the list goes on, they say everything is actually great except for the priestess whose only ability is to heal. No defense, no offense, just support. But even the other classes with magical abilities have healing powers, so playing priestess really have no value. Just a game accessory.

She wanted to be a mage. This class have skills both for offensive and defensive side, they might be always low in health but nothing a good armour won't handle.

She saw the numbers floating right in front of her as she wore the nerve gear. She's still adjusting, being unable to focus made playing this gear harder. Good thing, she was still right on time as the first Ph Server was still on countdown.

"WELCOME TO GUARDIANS ONLINE!"

She was a little shocked upon hearing the AI in her head. This is the first VMMORPG in the world, developers have not perfected them yet so some players may encounter dizziness, but nothing serious have happened yet.

Rianon was in the character making process, which she truly enjoy. How many times did she wish to become beautiful? This game is like a fairy godmother who granted her desires.

She first chose a body type, that with a good amount of curves that she always dreamt to have. Next, the porcelain colored skin that is far from her dark tone. For hair, she picked a dark coloured, beach wave style. The eyes! Of course, blue. Everyone knew that blue eyes are beautiful. She mix matched the nose and lips, but all in all, she made a goddess. The woman she always wanted to become.

Now, she was asked to name her character. She doesn't found her real name, Rianon, very much appealing so instead, she used her forum username 'The Empress'.

After that, list of classes was flashed right in front of her eyes.

She spoke to herself, remembering what she searched from the forums. "All is good aside from the Priestess."

Then a bright light suddenly surrounded her, words flashing right in front of her.

YOU ARE BEING TRANSPORTED TO THE GOLDEN CITY, PRIESTESS, THE EMPRESS.

The blinding lights are now gone, she adjusted her eyes and realized that she's in a crowded place. The people around her has names above their heads, level, class and health bar.

She looked above her and saw that she also have one.

The Empress (Lvl 1 Priestess)

Curses are flooding her mind right now. How could her only hope to greatness be gone just like that? To make herself even more bitter, she saw familiar names nearby.

Sakura (Lvl 1 archer)

LadyMari (Lvl 1 mage)

No! Her journey can't just end like this. She poked a nearby player and ask, "Hi! How can I change classes?"

The red headed lancer looked at her. "We can't change class until Lvl 50."

She felt more dumbfounded, but still has hope. "Then how can I make a new character?"

"The developers have strict rules that a player can only make one account per server. If you want a new one, its either you buy a new nerve gear or wait for the new server."

Both options are hopeless. Nerve gears are already sold out and the new server? It won't open anytime soon.

"I might be fated to lead a miserable life. How could I be so unlucky?"
