Ania could not explain why but the golden face did not scare her at all. For some reason, she even safe and warm in its presence. Her hand instinctively rose up inside the sack to try and caress that face, but an indescribable sensation forced her to stop partway. "Are you… a God?" Ania whispered with a hint of reverence. Everyone had heard the stories of how the Gods once wandered the mortal planes. However, it had been a long time in human history since anyone had claimed to have ever seen a God.…-

As Colt landed face first in the snow, he turned to sure at the man in bewilderment! 'What the hell just happened!' Colt replayed his tackle in his mind to understand what had just gone wrong. Meanwhile, the man who had been on guard looked around the area as if he had not seen Colt at all! When Colt had tried to tackle him, he had passed straight through the man to crash in the snow on the other side the moment their bodies collided. He had thought the man had used some kind of skill, but that was…

The flashing images took him through the forest for some time until it reached a trail. Colt frowned internally as he watched a horse-drawn carriage with three men onboard make its way along the forest trail. 'Where's the woman? Did the skill bug out?' However, Colt received a shock when the sack on the back of the carriage between the two began to move. A girlish squeal came from the sack as one of the men gave it a swift kick. "Quit moving around unless you want another one!" Harald growled as he…

Colt trudged through the snow towards the forest as the cold winds howled around him. It only took him a few moments before he began to wish that the game was not so realistic. The cold felt like it was biting at him, and he was starting to feel highly uncomfortable. 'Come on! There has to be something! Where's the beginner quest? Do they really expect us to wander around in rags in these conditions?' Colt was becoming irritated as he came closer to the forest with each step. He thought that if he began…

'Hm,' Colt knew that this point would come eventually. He had spent a lot of time thinking about it while waiting for the Beta test. Colt's old name, when he was part of Camelot, was Excalibur. He wanted his new name to reflect that, as well as the injustice he felt from being banished from his team. He smiled as he entered his new name, 'Exile'. "Yes," He replied, as he began to notice bursts of golden light as the other players finished their registration. As soon as he said this, he felt a warm…

Bright lights flew past Colt as his avatar loaded into the game. In the same fashion as most role-playing games, he appeared in his own body, with the exact same features as he had in real life. This was nothing new to him. If he was some rookie, he would probably be screaming about his identity being exposed in-game. He knew differently though, although he could use his own appearance, there was bound to be a part where he could create his in-game avatar. In the next moment, a bright sunny sky spread…

"Ah," Colt yelped as he burned his top lip on the coffee he was sipping. "Damn, that's hot." He placed the mug down on his desk as he continued to watch the countdown on his hologram monitor. There were only twenty minutes left on the timer. His gaming rig was currently downloading the passkey and software needed to connect to Pantheon Online. It was as though the developers had timed it so that it would be finished with only a minute or two left till launch. Leaning back in his chair, he took a look…

Several hours before Pantheon Online Beta Test launch… Standing on the highest mountain, a solitary figure could be seen. He looked out over the world before him, smiling as he watched the NPC's go about their daily business. He was incredibly proud of what they had managed to create here, and he could not wait to share it with the world. 'I can't wait to see this world come alive.' He thought. The cold wind swept at his clothing, making him shiver. He still could not get used to how real this…

Colt slowly open the door to his home. Stepping inside, he shook the rain from his hair. A puddle was slowly gathering around his feet. With a heavy sigh, he placed his box of belongings on the floor. He removed his thick black coat and put it on the hook by the door. He was unconcerned with the water dripping from it. It was not like he lived with anyone that would care. He walked down the short entrance hall to the door that led to the living room. His shoes tapped against the laminate flooring,…

Colt stared at the others seated around the table. 'Are they really doing this?' He wondered as the sound of the howling rain outside battered against the windows of the conference room. His eyes narrowed on those he had thought to be his comrades. Each of them could not bring themselves to look him in the eyes. Instead, they fixed their own sights on the glass table they were seated at. Well, almost all of them. Robert Hall, his Vice Captain, was sneering at him in delight. 'Ah, I see how it is now.'…
