Goddess of Games then launched her new MOBA app into the earth which she labeled as the CoreX: The unleveled player adventures. Unlike other Gods, Gamma was the only one who chooses to live and be a game developer on Earth. She was famous as the greatest game maker on Earth in her undercover identity as GammaGamma the founder of GammaIncDev. She released countless amazing games for humans to enjoy and garnered millions of fans across the globe. The Game instantly gained thousands of downloads after 15 minutes. In the Game's description, it says, "Boundless Throne Edges. 500k players only! The Game Server will be opened at 8:00 P.M see yah" Unlike other released games of their favorite game developer, the said game description is one of its kind since previously released apps were highly detailed and were able to explain the game's mechanics and everything about the game structure. The game didn't have a video advertisement too and the app illustration was just calligraphy of the game's title. The majority of GammaGamma's fandom wasn't interested in the game but there was still a huge number who downloaded the game. Hour after hour the number of downloads continues to rise. The day after the game was released, the downloads reached 450k. Samantha a 16-year-old girl who lived by herself after her parents died 2 years ago was deprived of playing games because her aunts and uncles didn't take care of her after the death of her parents and that she lived alone in her house because her relatives didn't help her, she stopped going to school and got to work at an early age to provide food for herself. She was envious of her cousins and other kids who were able to play the game they wanted to play. One day, she walked down the city to stare at the phones that were used to play the games. She entered the phone shop and asked for the price of the phone that she wanted to buy. "Hi sweetie, where's your mom?" Asked the staff "Uhmm...I live alone." She replied "Can I ask how much is this phone?" She asked "That cost $100" the staff replied "Oh..." She muttered as she heard the price of the phone she wanted to buy. Unlike other phones, the latest device doesn't need sim cards nor wifi connection to access the internet and it's thanks to nanosphyronet technology that made internet access free that runs in a whopping 10G internet speed though in some locations it could get as low as 5G speed. "I'll be back here" Samantha happily replied to the staff while running back to her home to get her piggy bank. She then took her piggy bank and brought it to the phone shop. The staff was delighted to see the child happily walking down the road bringing her piggy bank. Samantha then reached the shop and entered again. "Hi, I knew how to write but I don't know if my money would reach the cost of the phone...could you help me count it?" Samantha cheerfully asked for help from the staff. The child then opened her piggy bank and the staff counted the total amount of her money. "Dear your money is 67 dollars in total you needed 33 dollars more." Said the staff. "Uhmm...I don't have any money, this is all I have saved...can I buy something with this money? I have kept 5 dollars with me too so that I could have my food later." The kid replied. The staff went to the shop's basement and took something. "This dear," the staff said while bringing a different box of a phone. "Wo-wow" the kid replied in amazement. The phone the staff held were wide and the case designs were slime and clay balls in different colors. "This phone is created by me and this is the only one I created, I'll give this to you at $50 only but be sure to keep and treasure this okay?" The child smiled and nodded. Samantha then turned the phone on. "Do you want to download a game sweetie? I can recommend you ana awesome games for starters!" The staff said to the child. "Yes! Yes! I did buy the phone to play hehe yeheyyy, I didn't know how to download games so I am so happy" Samantha replied and hugged the staff. The staff then download the app CoreX: The unleveled player adventures. The child smiled while waiting for the download to finish. The download was then completed and she then looked back and started to walk out of the shop to get her home back. "Sweetie, you still have your change, the phone is only 50 dollars but I guess I'll give you 80% off. So take your change okay? The change is 57 dollars take this with you, you will need it." The staff said as the kid received the money. The phone shop staff then gave her a backpack with cute designs of slime and clay containing food. "You will need this too" the staff added. The child thanked the staff and then happily walked back to her home. She got away few meters away and decided to look back at the shop but she couldn't see the shop anymore. She was confused but chooser to went back to her home immediately to explore her phone. She got home after few minutes of walk. She took the food from the backpack which was rice and roasted chicken. She ate it while waiting for the game to start. It was already 4:30 P.M. She saw that there's a notice after she clicked the game. The servers will be available at 6 P.M "T-h-e se-r-ve-rs will b-e av-a-i-l-a-bl-e a-t 6 P-M" She read the noticed letter by letter per word and didn't get to understand the whole thing. She then saw the time above the phone and it's still 4:45 P.M so she thinks she needed to wait until the time becomes 6 and has two zeroes next to it. She bought a bunch of chips from the convenience store just outside their house and place all of those in the backpack. She thought that it would make the bag full but after storing all of her bag of chips inside the backpack, it looks like the bag didn't grow and looks the same as before, she opened the bag again and see inside and checked inside but the bag of chips was still there. She closes it again and didn't mind it anymore. She ate a bag of the child she bought while waiting for the game to start. At 5:00 p.m., the limit of 500k downloads was reached and all the users who were lucky to download the app excitedly waited for the game servers to start. 5:59 P.M All the players started to open the app a minute before the game servers would start. Samantha then fetched her newly bought phone. She opened the app. 6:01 P.M the number she saw above the screen of her phone, the app was just about to open and Samantha was smiling while waiting for the game to start. Others who got to open the app earlier than she got vanished after launching the app and click the play button. Samantha did wait for the game to start but 10 minutes have passed, she was confused why the game wasn't starting she took the phone and saw the arrow that was popping in and out on the screen directing her to press the start button. She was the last player to press start and play the game. After pressing the start, she saw that her surroundings began to be filled with radiant colors and after few seconds, she got vanished in her spot and got transmigrated to an all-white dimension, she saw other kids her age floating all over the place. After few seconds, the other lads then vanished from her sight as she saw that they were been devoured by green light. She was then transferred to a secluded virtual space which is called the starting point. She saw green and blue cyber screens and that she then transferred to a virtual reality transparent room. She roams her sight and saw nothing but a word a distance away from her saying BEGIN. She tried to read the floating word yet read it as B-e-gi-n. Since she doesn't find anything other than the word a distance away from her, she decided to heed to it, an arrow then popped up and directing her to the same area. She immediately rushed to it and using both her palms, she pressed the BEGIN option. Data codes then rushed to her body and filled her, which made her vanish from her current spot. She was now in the player setting up area. She only got a small space to move into and feels like she was contained in a circular transparent cellar room. She then noticed that outside the said spot he was in, the same kind of data codes were showered throughout the entire location and various creatures were revealed. She was amazed seeing the displayed cute and strong-looking pets throughout the area, there were dragons a tough-looking wolf and tiger, the ligers, the beautiful phoenix, and a hundred thousand more. She was happy to see such a scene, then another floating symbol rushed near in front of her, the two symbols had their distinct sign which the one had a pet-looking symbol while the other had a weapon mark. She tried to press the symbol with the pet mark yet it couldn't be clicked and a sign above it in red says that it was currently presented. She then moved to the next symbol showing the weapon mark and pressed it using both her palms. The lovely-looking creatures surrounding the area she was excluded from then started to be devoured by the same kind of light that brought them. After emptying the area, the data code lights then showered again and revealed tons of beautiful-looking swords and weapons. The weapons were displayed organized and so she got peaked many of them, below the weapon symbol mark had number pages options and so she tried to click the succeeding numbers, starting from 1 and moved on to page 2 after finished observing the previously presented weapons. A number code then showed up on her thumb. 500,000,000 She was the last player. The last one to enter the game. After few moments, a bar that's similar to entering username on games then showed up near her right side. She tried to click the bar yet it went red and some background music of the system prompt echoed throughout the spot she was in. Besides the username bar, had a priority number check. It was currently still at 40k and her number was far from getting entertained by the system. She doesn't know everything about it and decided to continue scrolling the weapon pages, she had love many of them as well as a group of pets that she wanted to acquire. She decided to switch back the presentation to the creatures. After few moments as the number increases besides the username bar, she noticed that a few of the pets she loved got vanished and several were missing in their spots and been replaced by another batch, she roams her sight until she exactly timed the scene, the adorable and strong pets were vanishing one after another. After few minutes of sadness and frustrations from seeing her favorites vanished she decided to switch back to the weapon mark and immediately pressed it using her palms again. As the batch of pets, her favorite weapons were also missing until only a page of the weapons were left. The priority number checked was already 499,910. The pets and weapons available were only 10 of each. As the number rises a number, the pets were visibly going vanish one after another until it was her turn. She then moved near the username bar and face it. She attempted to click it but it didn't let her type something and the same prompt background mystic echoed the area. After few seconds, a voice announcement then reverberated the area. "Hello, please tell me your username." "Uhmm, username? What is that?" She replied and was frightened hearing the female robotic voice. "Tell us your player name." The voice replied to her. "What is a player name?" She asked. "Tell us your name." "Samantha." After she said her name, the username bar then lightens up and carved the letters of her name is followed by her symbol. She was then signed as Samantha 500k. Other players didn't have their usernames with their priority number, she was the only one because there was a bunch of already a player that had her username signed as Samantha. After her name was signed, her phone floated in the air and glowed, data codes then entered it, after a while the kid's gadget went back inside her handbag. The voice then told her that she could now pick her primary let and weapon. She was excited and hoped that she could choose from various creatures and pets. But after she pressed the okay, it only showed her the last pet available in the area. It looks like slime, a cute slime. Even if she didn't get her favorites, she was happy having the slime. She was then the official master of the slime pet. After choosing her pet, she immediately pressed the weapon symbol to choose her weapon. The only available weapon being displayed was the metal clay ball. It wasn't as beautiful as she wanted it could be but didn't have the choice but to choose the remaining one. After choosing her weapon and pet, a portal then opened a few meters away from her spot. The area she was in got broad and the transparent wall was none other than white. She immediately heeds to the portal and entered it. After entering the portal, it then closed and she was teleported to a safe location and deserted spot in the planet Terrania. She was in the middle of a woodland its beautiful surroundings that had medium to large pieces of rocks forming a circle surrounding her. She then went out of the rocks that surrounded her and started her game journey on the planet. After few minutes of undirected travel, she decided to rest for a while and sat on the grassland. She took her phone from her handbag and immediately pressed it on. Her pet was following her, while she was carrying the metal clay ball weapon with her left hand. After scrolling down the phone, she remembered the money she brought with her. She searched for it inside the bag but found none except a credit card. "What is this?" She said to herself. She didn't know what the thing is and decided to keep it. Without her knowledge, after she entered the portal, her pocket money was immediately converted as the currency being used in Terrania, it was automatically put on the bank and the card just popped out of nowhere. The physical money used in Terrania was structured as small ruby gems and varied their value base on type, and they could withdraw their credit balance through withdrawing in a guild. Her phone then popped up a notification. She clicked the notification and it had a message since she didn't know how to read it, she was sad and after glancing at her phone again, she found a mic button at the end of the message. She then clicked the said feature in hopes that it would convey the message to her through speech. Ting. "Task number 1: Name the pet." She heard the same soothing female robotic voice not on been echoed in the surroundings but directly spoke through her mind. She was a bit frightened but felt a bit relieved since she got someone to help her understand what is written. She then kept the clay ball weapon she had in her handbag for the meantime to fetch her slime through her hands. After storing her weapon, her slime per who sat next to her then jump on her and she fetches it successfully with both her hands. The slime appears to be a bit sad as she was holding it. She smiled at it and comforted the seemingly sad slime. After hugging the slime for a moment, she felt a drop of water fell on her shirt and found that it was coming from her pet slime. "Oh, why are you sad?" She said to the slime as if her friend and touched the slime gently from the slime's top to its bottom subsequently. She lifted the slime and saw its cute little eyes that were bursting with tears. She feels that the slime was feeling down and might be downgraded by the other creatures it had been with since earlier. "Don't worry my slime, I will treat you as my friend, and from now on you will be Sli." Her phone then notified her, and the task was then completed. She clicked the mic button once again and the message was then spoken by the same robotic female voice. "Congratulations on acquiring your Dimensional Slime created by none other than the Dimensional God and Goddess, Dime, you are now its master and will be named as Sli. You can claim your task price on any guild nearby." After the message was relayed to her, her phone was then fixed to a blueprint of the area. In the northeast part, had a glinting marking which is her target destination." She didn't get any idea about the markings but decided to follow the path being directed to her. After several minutes of walking, she got faced a slime monster blocking the way.
