Chapter 8 - Registration
Registration
For others registration process was tough. The numbers of questions and small debate round mostly lost. All five games held the registration for three days. It was tough and complex. Their attentions were to select most suitable players though they have zero idea about the new game. The players were not told about skills or the weapons. The developers gave one day time after the process of registration was completed. The players were given choice that they could customize their characters however no one was allowed to relate the real identity or naming.
The players were confused because none of them was told about the level of the difficulty or any clue about the game. Jake was astounded because his registration process was simple. He was among the first few who got registered prior. Seven teams were selected by the 'Sovereign Rulers' and the other games did the same. Every team entailed seven players. All players were void of any formal identity this means the team members should remember the appearance of the team players if they did not want to get stabbed by the enemy players.
The in-game characters were customized by the players. Jake was also sitting on his chair with the papers in front of him. After entering in the game he would not be given time for the design; it was part of announcement. As soon as the players entered the game portal; the competition would begin. Jake was glad that the system granted him 100Exp for registration. The character customization was the deed of top players. Jake was clueless what to do then the notification of the system saved his life.
Choose the options given below one by one. There was complete set of character appearance though the options were limited. There was a separate screen; when Jake chose one of the features, it appeared on the empty screen. He selected light brown eyes with the deep brown short hair. His real color of the hair was dry blond and the eyes were deep blue. Through character design he could easily disguise his real identity thinking this Jake made choices.
The problem with the character design was evident; he cannot replace his defected hand for now. The character would still reflect his discrepancy of the real self. He cannot change the height. His real height was five feet seven inches. This shows that Patina was very diligent in bringing up the younger sibling. Despite all the problems she never compromised on his meals.
Various other tools were locked and these were perhaps set for the levels. Jake gave himself a simple appearance for the first level. He was not sure what would happen when his team would enter in the game portal. He was in the middle of the character design when the door knocked. Jake looked at the wall clock. It was middle of the day. Little Lara must have returned from the school. Lara was four years old little kid living next neighborhood.
Jake went to open the door and saw the bubbling little kid. "I got promotion in the manners class. Where is big sister Patina? She promised me for gift if I got promoted. I want my gift now." Before Jake could speak anything Lara surveyed the whole house running with excitement. Jake was unable to make excuse because his lips were trembling at the mention of Patina.
The whole bunch of events flashed past his memory and he succeeded in hiding his tears back in the space in his eyes. "Patina is not around but she left the gift with me. Wait here…" Jake coaxed her and forced out a smile. He went toward the icebox and picked the chocolate bar. "Here take it." Jake waved the chocolate in front of her. Lara jumped laughing, "Big sister is my favorite. Give me chocolate…"
Jake did not tease her much and handed the chocolate. Lara took it and went back. Jake closed the door. His registration was completed and the possible game can anytime start. There were many things which he was curious about. He was not just a fallen spirited newbie player but someone who never played games because of his defected hand.
At this point of life; he has no way back but to fight. Jake was not sure how long he could remain in the game however he was willing to bet everything for it. The particulars about the games were announced in the servers and the gamers were much shocked. Other than the basic controls; everything else was bizarre though not much information was shared.
The officials selected the opening day. There was much uproar in the various channels set by the organizers. The three portals were made as the entrance for three teams. Live streams were set too. The chosen paths were locked for the time being. The last announcement pulled the curtain for the spectators however it also gave thousand watt shocks to the selected players. No one was expecting this to show up at the last hours before the opening of the game.
All of the players were from the new generation of the gamers and they always played the latest and formula games which were most popular among the troupes. Rarely anyone had taken interest in the slow pace or someone primeval games though the new game was not similar by way of anything like that still it was entirely different thing to begin with. Jake was not much curious; for him all the games meant to use both hands for fast controls.
He was searching the announcement when saw the list of first team from the 'Sovereign Rulers' which would enter in the third portal and his name was added in the team. He was looking at the screen with utmost horror. This means it was decided already whether he would get defeated in the very first level or drag toward the second level; all up to him. Jake took deep breath. Now the system could do wonder and he was relying on it.
As soon as he thought about the system; the visual screen appeared. It was notification about the completion of third task and the gained Exp. With this the injuries on his legs got healed. There was daily task for exercise within the time limit. Jake saw it and immediately stood up for the exercise. Previously he lost and he was too worried to earn the failure again.
