Chapter 4: Welcome to CyberSpace

"CyberSpace launch!" Axle said before pressing the button on his band. This immediately knocked him out as his mind was being transferred to the virtual world.

"Welcome user to CyberSpace. Please create an account and avatar for you to use." The system's A.I spoke to Axle. A hollow console appeared in front of the beta tester and he filled in what he wanted to fill in. A new thing and it was strange but all felt right at the same time.

The only thing that he didn't fill out was his name. He looked and thought, of his gamer name, Rosé_Shadow... but then he remembered all the pain from his time as the Crimson Gorilla which made him remember that he was done with that life. He typed in the name that quickly came to his mind... Cobalt_Light.

"Welcome username Cobalt Light. Please create an avatar to use in CyberSpace. Know that clothing alterations can only be made after your avatar has been signed into the CyberSpace network." The A.I said.

He scrolled around the options the avatar creation menu had to offer him and he chose the necessary things he needed and created his avatar. It was his height and it had his face. The only differences were that his hair was cobalt blue.

"Thank you. Now proceed beyond the door in order use CyberSpace." Axle saw the door that appeared out of nowhere and walked towards it. He opened it up and vanished within the light.

"Wow, it worked." Rebecca said with a huge smile on her face. Never in her life had she been so proud of herself. She was about to achieve her life's work and she was happy for that. "Patch me in with all the users." She ordered one of the scientists. "Right away professor."

Axle looked around. He clenched his fist seeing if he could feel anything, and he did. Strange thing is that it felt so life like. He looked around and he somehow felt content. He was in a virtual world, he was in CyberSpace. Maybe this was the feeling he's been longing for since his early retirement from the online community.

He looked around and noticed the default outfits that everybody wore. Strangely similar to Tron. He shook his head and chuckled at Rebecca's lack of creativity. Of all the things it had to be Tron and that was just humourous for him and anyone who liked Tron.

"Greetings user and welcome to CyberSpace." Axle was startled by Rebecca's image appearing right in front of him. "As you already are aware you're in a virtual world. Your bands might serve as a way in and out but it has many functions. It will have a menu full of a wide variety of options for your avatar and it can serve as a communication device. Remember not to lose it as you might be trapped with no way out. Until then, enjoy day one for the beta test of CyberSpace." She said before disappearing.

Axle immediately looked and chose to get out of the getup that he was wearing only to notice that he couldn't change his outfit. The reason for this? It was very simple really. He had an insufficient amount of Credits to purchase new clothing which left him stuck using the default clothes that he was current wearing.

"Great, looks I'm stuck with this Tron outfit for the time being." Axle sighed. "I wonder what I can do to earn some Credits around here. He pressed the button on his band and found his menu. He got a new message so he proceeded to open up his message board.

1 new message...

He opened it.

Greetings users, sorry for leaving this bit of information out. In order you can participate in bets, and work for some businesses set up by the system and you can also set up your own businesses.

You might want to refrain from dying as well because if you do you'll automatically be ejected from the system. But that's only if your band is still active, if not then bye bye.

He shook his head in disappointment. It's just like Rebecca to leave out important information like the dying bit. He of course looked around found a lot of people logging out. "Looks like they're afraid of dying." The former gamer said with much boredom in his voice. He was familiar with death so he wasn't worried about it. Even though it would haunt him sometimes he did get over it.

"Well CyberSpace... It's time to make you my bitch." Cobalt said with a smirk on his face as he felt like his old self for a bit.
