I lean back and stretch my arms out with a yawn. I just got done putting the finishing touches on the large mountain range in the new game called "Legends Born". I'm part of a large team putting together the newest, most high-tech game on the market.

This was always my biggest dream... to make an awesome video game where thousands, if not millions, of people, can come together and play. This wasn't just a game though... this was a virtual reality game. One that puts all the other virtual reality games to shame.

I look to the large dark windows when I hear thunder rolling in the distance. It was late so it was only me and one other guy named Ted here. Ted went to go get a late dinner for the two of us. It's supposed to storm tonight... I get up and walk over to the large cube. Inside, there are several monitors, lasers, pressure reading tiles and more. The list goes on and on.

This is a multimillion-dollar device in it's earliest stages. Once done, my team and I will go down in history. This device was unlike any other. It would make you feel as if you're in the world... really in it. If we can finish working out all the bugs, it will be evolutionary! Plus, I'll be rich!

I open the door to the cube and step into the dark. As soon as my feet touch the tiles, they begin to softly glow. I shut the door behind me and walk over to the control panel. Ted and the others have been tweaking the programming all week but I needed to check on my mountain.

I was in charge of the plants, wildlife, and overall world build while the others worked on the character design and gameplay/storyline. It was a lot but we've managed to handle it. Ted told me that there were still bugs but it was playable.

I punch in my ID number and watch as the game's opening screen pops up in full view. I hit the 'play' button and watch as the screen melts away with cherry blossom petals. I put in that little touch, heh. Suddenly the whole cube turns white as if I'm standing in an open space.

I lift my arms a little as the lasers begin scanning me from head to toe. Once done, a beautiful animated me stands on the screen before me. "Please select the desired class," The female computer voice says. I quickly scroll through and find "herbalist" I needed to check out the mountain range, not fight against top bosses.

The screens zoom in on my character as the female voice says "Please customize your Character." I click on my face and immediately change it. I hated my freckles! Asians had such beautiful smooth skin... if I can't have that in real life, I'll have it in-game!

I leave my green eyes but change nearly everything else. This was also another reason why I loved games... you can be anyone you wanted to be! I give myself long, smooth black hair with porcelain clear skin. Cute pink lips and a perfect body. "Hmmm... not bad Nova! Lookin' good..." I hit save and move on to the next.

I swipe through the outfits growing more irritated by the second... this is why men should not be in charge of female clothes! Was I supposed to walk around like a Victoria Secret model on steroids?? I swipe over and over but there isn't anything remotely decent.

I huff in annoyance and pull up the men's clothes. I'll just wear guy clothes... I'm just looking at the mountains! I click back and forth between the outfits and finally settle on a white flowing gown. My long dark hair is pulled back, half up and half down. Without makeup, I looked like a very attractive male... though small and kinda girly, I like it!

I hit accept and place the headpiece on over my eyes. "I think I may have a thing for crossdressing... hehe." I hit enter and watch as my screen goes dark. Instantly, I'm brought to the "opening" of the game as the different missions are on display. I ignore them all and hit "Free Roam". I didn't want to play, I just wanted to check my new mountain and quickly log out and eat dinner.

Grand Entrance

Suddenly I'm falling. I spread my arms out and relax as I fall through the white fluffy clouds. I reach out and touch the clouds in awe. Man, the guys really outdid themselves this time! The clouds feel cold and misty... just how clouds would normally feel!

I laugh out loud as the air whips through my long hair. "This is amazing!" I yell out loud with laughter. Maybe I'll build myself a little home here so I can just come here and escape the real world from time to time.

As I fall the ground slowly comes into view but what I see has me frowning. "Did it bug out again?" I wonder out loud as I get closer and closer. The graphical layout wasn't right... I didn't place that many bodies of water. Oh well, I'll take a look and make corrections when I get back.

I fall faster and faster but I don't start to get worried until I get close enough to see the characters from above. Uh... wasn't I supposed to slow down now? As my heart rate reaches an all-time high silver light burst out around me nearly blinding me.

The characters under me cover their eyes as they try to see what's happening. Suddenly I'm floating down like a feather. My hair and my white gown flutters around me in the air as I gently land on my feet, right in front of the hottest man I've ever seen. Daaaaang, the guys have been busy!

The man watches me with awe but doesn't say anything as the silver light slowly disappears. His gown is open in the front leaving me with a really nice view of his chest and abs. I look to his dark black eyes and slowly reach out.

This character was a work of art. He was tall, built and definitely had the sexy, smoldering look down. His long black hair nearly reached the middle of his back and his skin was perfection. He was like an Asian deity!! My fingers reach out and touch his soft honey-colored skin.

Wow... they really went above and beyond with the new touches. It feels so real... I look back up to the male character with awe. I pull my hand back and begin looking around. Every character was looking at me with shock. That's strange... why are they all looking at me?

Weren't they supposed to ignore me unless I interacted with them? I go to walk away when suddenly I'm pulled back by the collar of my gown. I turn to look at the male character I touched with confusion. Man, they should stop paying so much attention to the special effects and start fixing the stupid bugs!

"Let me go," I say with irritation. The male just frowns at me and says "What are you?" This time I frown. What am I? What kind of question is that? I try to pull away from him but the guy is incredibly strong! "Where do you think you're going after molesting his highness like that?" A man standing next to him in black says in a low voice.

I twist around to look at them both in bewilderment. "I can touch whoever and whatever I want! Now let go of me you stupid bug!" The man's right eye twitches as he says "Did you just call his holiness a bug?" The other characters around us suck in as they watch with large eyes.

"No, I called him a stupid bug. Get it right!" I kick at the man in black but he easily dodges it. "It looks like I'm gonna have to teach this brat a lesson." He says through gritted teeth. "Brat!? Who are you calling a brat!?" I yell as I try to grab the hand of the man who's holding me up. He just quietly holds me while watching me argue with this other idiot.

"You're the brat... who else would I be talking about? You show up out of nowhere, touch his holiness's body, his holy untouched body might I add! And you think you can just walk away without any consequences? You'll make his highness look like a cut sleeve like you!" I look back to the man holding my gown with confusion but he just continues to stare at me.

Cut sleeve? What was this idiot talking about? Did I accidentally walk into a mission of some kind? Should I just apologize? What am I thinking! It's just a game! I huff in irritation and say "So what, you want to kill me? Go ahead, no one's stopping you." The man in black goes to lunge at me but the man holding me puts his hand up, stopping the other man in his tracks.

"You sure are fearless for such a small puny kid." The man holding me says in a low voice. What could I possibly fear? This is just a game... "Go ahead, kill me and get it over with, I'm a busy person." The man in black looks at me like I'm insane while the other watches me with cold eyes.

Suddenly there's a loud crash as several men dressed in black barge into the open court yard. Black cloth covers most of their faces only leaving their eyes visible. Hmmm yes, I was right. I accidentally stumbled into a mission. I watch the men advance with a calm detachment.

The man holding me looks back to me with a frown. A man armed with a long sword attacks the man holding me. "Your highness!" yells the man's friend. The man holding me by the collar easily blocks the blade and kicks the man away. The man flies ten feet away, crashing into the stone fence.

I sigh catching "his highness's" attention. "Does this bore you little one?" He asks with a smirk. I roll my eyes and say "I clearly said I was busy. Why don't you let me go so you can fight with both hands?" The man gives a low chuckle while saying "I can handle them with just one. I've caught something interesting and it would be a shame if it got away."

I scrunch up my face in irritation. Caught something interesting? What am I, a mouse? I see two more men lunging at us. I wait until the right moment before I jump up and kick the man holding me in the side with both of my feet. Between the attack and my kick, the man holding me lets go.

I drop to the ground and hightail it out of there. I look behind me several times and only when I know for sure they didn't follow me do I finally stop to catch my breath. "Holy crap! My side actually hurts from running so long..." I take several deep breaths before relaxing.

Good thing my character is equipped with speed and agility... if not I may have been caught by that bug again! I slowly stand and start making my way out of the small village. I didn't want to trade or go on any missions, I just wanted to check my mountain.

"I'm really hungry now..." I say holding my empty stomach. I hope Ted's back with the food... I make my way into the woods and only after walking for another ten minutes do I find a large mountain. I look up at the mountain with confusion. "Was this my mountain? Why does it look so different..." I mumble to myself as I continue to stare at it.

"Hahhh.. the youth just keeps getting stranger and stranger..." An old man to my left says startling me. I pat my chest and look at him in detail. He was an old man with long white hair carrying a straw basket on his back. Was he collecting herbs?

"What do you mean old man?" I say turning to look at him. He continues to pick at the long grass in front of him as he says "Muttering about a mountain belonging to you... how can a mountain belong to anyone, especially a small brat like you."

My jaw hits the floor "Why does everyone keep calling me a brat!? I'm twenty-five years old!" I say pointing to myself in bewilderment. The old man pauses to look at me. His old eyes look at me from head to toe before letting out a loud laugh.

I look at him in shock... "Who are you trying to fool boy!" The old man laughs some more but it suddenly hits me. I look down at my outfit and feel like smacking myself. I was dressed like a male! They think I'm younger because of my size... I let out a long sigh and shake my head.

"It's alright my boy! Once you get older you'll fill out and get some hair on your chest. Just give it time." The old man says with a warm smile. I feel myself smiling back. Let's hope I don't get chest hair! When the old man bends back over to pick at the grass I reach up and feel my chest. Oh, thank goodness... I still had my boobs.
