Lost Temple

Chapter 1

In the year of 2200, the world population exploded, and the already exhausted energy sources could not support the consumption of such a large number of peoples. The World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO), in partnership with dozens of technological and economic powers, finally developed a world-shocking project; The Lost Temple around 50 years ago. Lost Temple is a Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online game that can support more than one-third of the world population online at the same time. This is a game with a very high degree of freedom. According to the contents in the developer's previous advertisements, it is not even an exaggeration to say that basically a whole new continent has showed up. Imagine that more than one-third of the world's population is now lying in an enclosed capsules, using nutrient solutions to sustain their lives, and if a player has reached a certain age, they can apply to become the game NPC – that is, to stay in virtual space permanently. This virtually solved the world's energy and economic crisis. At the same time, "Lost Temple" is also highly sought after by the majority of people in the world for its unparalleled charm and 100% high fidelity.

*Note : WFEO or The World Federation of Engineering Organizations is an international, non-governmental organization representing the engineering profession worldwide. WFEO is a non governmental international organization that brings together national engineering organizations from over 90 nations and represents some 20 millions engineers from around the world.

Su Yi unpacked the huge packages from the express delivery and assembled the Deluxe game capsule that he had ordered a few days ago. He spent at least one-fifth of his saving to buy the game capsule, but seeing the max efficiency function that comes with this "big guy", Su Yi could not help the curving up of his lips. Wasting this amount of money is definitely not bad. Although in order to promote the "Lost Temple" plan, the government is distributing a free and simpler capsule, but that thing can never be compared with the official release of the Deluxe version. Not to mention the comfort of the internal features alone, some of the convenience features of the Deluxe Edition are way beyond the ordinary version. Turning on the automatic supply of nutrient solution Su Yi set the capsule with the simpler layout and placed himself into the ready-to-play game capsule.

"This is the age where theocracy are in power and the world is chaotic. The struggle of various forces and the hatred between the many races have brought the mainland into a massive war. Young man... are you ready?"

Su Yi smiled a little, it seems that this game is really unique, even the opening monologue designed to have such a momentum. Naturally, he choose "yes". There was no the expected races selection character in front of him, but a questionnaire written on a piece of parchment. Taking a look at this kind of thing that resembled a personality quiz, Su Yi sighed in his heart. The developer of Lost Temple really put a great deal of thought in this game. Fortunately, the questions are not that long, and China has only 10 multiple-choice questions. After answering the questions quickly, he waited for about ten seconds. The system sounded again.

"Strengthen your will, young man, maybe the world will change because of you. Please relax and accept the test of the system."

In fact, this was only a systematic scan of his physical condition to determine the basic attributes of the characters after the character was created. After a warm light swept by his body, Su Yi discovered that there was a person who was almost the exact copy of himself. With his slightly pointed ears, silver hair, purple eyes and his gray skin, it all shows the characteristics of the Demon race. Oh, so the system tested him as Demon for his race.

"Please name your new identity."
"Black Mark."
"Please adjust the appearance of the character. This game take the basic characteristic of the player to create a character, the player can choose to change the hairstyle and pupil color, the character appearance can be changed by 20%, the modified value of the appearance will be the same as your attribute value."
"Reduce 10%." He likes to be low-key, but he doesn't like to smash his face into an ugly man...
"After the adjustment, because your appearance is 10% lower, you can choose to increase a property by 10%. Which attribute you would like to choose?"
"Luck." Based on his knowledge, Su Yi knows that the character attributes in the game are divided into strength, agility, intelligence, soul, endurance, luck and charm. Since character attributes are based of the player own body conditions, the player do not know the specific values, and some of them blindly adding it to the random attribute which is an unwise decision. But fortunately, luck is different, it can increase the drop rate for items and increase the rate to triggering some quests. Everything is done.
"Character modifications finished, do you wish to enter the game?"
"Enter."
