1 1. E.E.W.A.O.
On a lonely highway, a young man was riding a motorcycle at a very high speed. "Wooohooo!! I finally bought Emross Empire!" the young man shouted with delight.
With a sadistic expression, the young man swore in his heart, "I will definitely become the strongest ruler in the world of Emross!"
.
.
When he finally gets home. "Where have you been?! Instead of helping out your parents with work.. you are always wandering around!" shouted a middle-aged man who then took a helmet and threw it at the young man.
"Do you think life is just for playing?!" the middle-aged man yelled. He wasn't satisfied with venting his anger so the middle-aged man took the helmet lying beside the young man and used it to hit the young man repeatedly. The young man could not resist at all so he silently took the blows while fending off the attacks as best he could with his right hand.
"Hurry up and change your clothes then help me move this damn stuff! Life is hard! If you keep relaxing like this, you will be left behind!!"
Without saying a word, the young man walked into the house and saw his mother sitting next to the door of her room and appeared to be crying.
The young man's mother who was aware of his arrival looked at the young man with hatred. "Do you wanna be like your father?!"
With a frightened expression, the young man shook his head slowly. Suddenly his mother got up and grabbed him by the hair then threw him towards the closet while saying, "Then go study hard and be a useful person!"
The young man slowly got up and walked into his room and closed the door slowly behind himself. While tears streamed down his face, he hit the wall in front of him hard. "F*ck!! Why am I always wrong?!" the young man shouted in his heart full of anger and hatred.
My name is Shiro Lighters, today I just turned 17 years old. I am a Hiki-Neet who always becomes an emotional outlet for my parents. They educated me with violence and always forced their will upon me. They even scolded me and beat me right in front of my friends and that led me to a mental breakdown and to become a target of bullies outside the house. Both of my parents did not know I had been a victim of sexual violence and became a walking bank account for many people. Actually, I bet they didn't even care.
Several times I thought about killing the people who had bullied me by secretly poisoning them, but I could never bring myself to do so. My chest feels very tight when I try to do cruel thing even to those who have destroyed my life, it might be the little bit of conscious I have left that is stopping me.
My father is a Baron in a remote town on the island of Java, an island that is part of Nusantara, the second largest country in Oceania. For my father, raising his position was something more important than having to take care of a weak child like me.
It's a natural thing if a weak person like me is pushed aside even by my own family because we live in a chaotic world where only the strong will survive, but for me it's just bullshit! No matter how strong someone is in this world, they will still bow down to the world government which has continued to rule for thousands of years.
My house has become a cell that locked me up, but the situation outside the house also makes no difference as I feel like I am still living in a prison. I have absolutely no friends in or out of school so every day after school I always spend my time in my tiny, narrow, and dark room. In this cruel world, I have absolutely nothing valuable except for my collection of games that always keep me company these days.
A few moments later after Shiro's emotions had subsided a bit, he reached into his pants pocket with his right hand, and pulled out a small plastic box inside which contained a virtual game chip he had just bought.
"I'm so sick of this world! Why don't I just live in the game world?!" Shiro said softly while looking at the virtual game chip in his palm.
Shiro took his Playstation VR machine and put the game chip he just bought into the slot available on the machine, put the machine on his head, then pressed the power button on the right side.
"Welcome to Emross Empire : War And Order!" said a voice from the AI system.
Emross Empire : War And Order, or often abbreviated as EEWAO, is a virtual game that was very popular a while ago. The EEWAO game was created by a giant company called "Kumo" in the center of the capital of the Republic of China. EEWAO is a game about adventure and war in a fantasy world filled with magic that had millions of players at one time. In addition to defeating monsters to strengthen their respective characters, the players can also fight against other players with direct combat or strategic warfare.
"Please enter your complete character bio in the fields provided below." The AI System continues pushing Shiro through the new character registration that all new players have to go through.
"Hmm... create a character huh? Should I pretend to be a girl?" Shiro said chuckling to himself from his own idea.
A few moments after Shiro finished filling the character registration column, the sound of the AI System came again, "Please confirm your personal data" followed by a message with the information Shiro entered.
==================================
Sex : Male
Age : 17
Appearance :
-Height : 175 cm
-Weight : 65 kg
-Hairstyle And Color : Black Emo Hairstyle
Name : Shiro
==================================
The system AI then said, "Confirm Yes or No?"
"Yes!" Shiro shouted.
"Confirmed! Currently updating the system..."
Shiro figured this delay was normal and waited patiently.
The System AI came back finally and said, "System update complete. Server closure complete."
"Huh? Wait, what? Am I going to be the last new player on this server?!" Shiro said to himself, confused about the server closure message.
The System AI returned once more and said, "Thank you for confirming your character data, please choose a Class for your character."
A message with a list of the character classes and basic descriptions appeared in front of Shiro.
===================================
{Blademaster} : Samurai, Ninja, Weapon Master, Assassin
{Fighter} : Warrior, Guardian, Berserker, Monk
{Mage} : Holy Priest, Wizard, Summoner, Elementalist
{Ranger} : Hunter, Archer, Tracker and Scout, Beast Tamer
-New Class-
{Hero} : Destroyer, Savior
===================================
"Hm... only one race is available? I thought there were Elves and Dwarves on the poster! Whatever, doesn't matter I guess. What is this Destroyer class included in the Hero tree? Screw it, if it looks nearly as cool as it sounds, it would look really cool I bet!" without thinking about it more, Shiro immediately chose Destroyer and wondered why he had never read about this class before.
"Thank you for completing your character registration, enjoy your adventure in the world of Emross!" said the System AI in a cheerful tone.
After completing the game's character registration, Shiro began to be carried along a space and time. "Woohoo! Finally! Emross world, here I come!" Shiro shouted with delight.
Suddenly Shiro felt an electric shock that stung his head, causing him to scream out from the extreme pain "Aarrgghhh!!!" Shiro shouted in pain as he closed his eyes.
Some time after, the pain slowly disappeared and he he opened his eyes slowly. "Ouch... what the hell was that??" said Shiro while trying to stand up slowly.
How surprised Shiro was to see a world he had never seen before. Right before his eyes lay a vast and beautiful prairie that was decorated by animals that he had never seen before. Shiro was very impressed by the scenery around him and while looking around he said "It is so amazing! This scenery looks very real! Is this really a game world?!"

Friday, September 13, 2019...
--------------------------------
Without thinking, Shiro excitedly ran down in to a meadow. "Woohoo! Emross! Banzai!!" he shouted with joy just like a child seeing the outside world for the first time. Shiro ran to the right and to the left trying to approach the tame animals in the meadow.
An extraordinary joy was displayed on Shiro's face as he felt he had true freedom for the first time in his life, but he was not aware that something bad had happened to him. Right now... he is trapped in a world where peace can never be found, and only those who are strong enough can survive till the end.
