The Hypocrite(s)

Arc 1: The Live of The Coward, Chapter 4: A Pleasant Character Creation (Part 2)

Arc 1: The Live of The Coward, Chapter 4: A Pleasant Character Creation (Part 2)

Jan 02, 2025

Hendra feel like wake up from a long sleep, he rubbed his eyes before looking at the situation he was in. His eyes were still drowsy suddenly narrowed, he was so surprised that he thought he was being drowned by the sea. Because all he could see was blue water.

The water was dark blue and the fish was swimming leisurely in it, the sound of rustling like the popping of a bubble could be heard. Hendra wanted to stick out his tongue and taste the salty sea but his body seemed to blend with the seawater around him. He was being tossed about by the currents in the untouchable sea. Hendra never went sea diving but he liked to watch documentaries about life under the sea. Because of that Hendra was confident that he was really looking at the scenery of what was happening under the sea.

For a few seconds, Hendra forgot how to breathe which made his chest feel tight. His brain which was fooled by the surrounding scenery made his nose spontaneously close the air passage so that water could not enter.

However, he was awakened by a brown square in front of him, it was a virtual interface usually seen in RPG games, and the presence of this brown square made Hendra aware of where he was now. He again remembered that he was trying the beta version of Percha Island Online.

Hendra could breathe again by telling himself that this realistic underwater scenery was just game graphics. However, Hendra could not ignore the coldness of the water on his skin.

"What the fuck?!"

Hendra was astonished.

The VR gaming technology should only be able to capture the senses of sight and hearing. But now Hendra could feel the cold water temperature. He was stunned for a moment before realizing what was happening.

When humans are able to use their five senses in a game, the difference between the game and reality will be blurred. Hendra really wanted to be able to stick out his tongue and taste the salty sea water and confirm that he could taste it.

What would happen next Hendra could not imagine, but it was certain that this game would lead to a breakthrough in the world's technology. The places for information exchange would explode like the dawn of the internet. Culinary businesses, tourism, and even prostitution will make a massive migration to get more visitors.

Not to mention the development of technology and drugs or weapon trials that are impossible to do in the real world will develop rapidly with this game. They can carry out arbitrary experiments without having to take into account the consequences for human life. The morally degenerate world will be further destroyed by the existence of a world without consequences.

The real world that Hendra knew had many limitations. And each of those limitations is very crippling for those who want to live without boundaries. However, in the gaming world, that limit will disappear, there is only a limit to how far your imagination can reach and how far the technology can accommodate it.

Hendra's heart skipped a beat at the thought of what the Doodle Company had just shown the players. He took a deep breath and shook off all the excessive thoughts. He was sure this game would also have a limit.

Hendra forgot the chaotic world politics and focused on the interface menu in front of him. He tried to toggle the mouse in his right hand but there was no reaction. Hendra was again astonished this time his breathing really became erratic.

"Don't tell me! Emotiv EPOC!!!!"

When the information captured from the five senses is coupled with movement through the mind, what humans perceive is not just a game controlled by rigid data again, but a new world where all possibilities can occur. However, this can be accompanied by restrictions on movement and controls in the game so that players cannot cause new possibilities other than the plot that has been previously prepared by the developer.

Hendra tried to control his rapidly beating heart. By focusing his mind He tried to think about clicking the menu box in the interface, [Character Design].

*Initiating Character Design...

[Reminder: Please make your Character as logical as possible. The Character's body and design will affect you when playing this game.

Each ID can only have one character and if you want to change the shape of your character then you must have a new ID].

Mind is a powerful place, there is a saying goes everything you think strongly will become reality. But what if your mind is not your own? what if inside your mind there are beings that can influence your judgment of the world? Make you think what they want you to think, make you feel what they want you to feel, and make you only see what they want you to see.

That's what happened to Hendra. He is a DID patient (Dissociative Identity Disorder). Inside his mind live someone who calls himself The Hypocrite. Because of him Hendra always feels like he is living inside a bleak-toned horror film. He makes Hendra assumes that the people around him have evil intentions to harm him.

At first, there is only The Hypocrite who lives inside his mind but something happens that makes new personalities born.

Percha Island Online is the world's first full-dive MMORPG. A game that comes from a very mysterious origin of the foreign world Nevergan Heaven Universe. A game that can make the soul of the player mutated to become something as powerful as a god!

When Hendra played it, he made his character into a cat girl of his dreams named Leona. However, unknowingly, Leona really came to life in Percha Island Online and became the third personality.

Leona's pervert-narcissistic-bird-mush-brain-catnip overdose cat (this term is according to The Hypocrite, and it will become longer as the stories go on) makes Hendra's life becomes more and more complicated. Girls who had never been present in life before became sights he kept seeing and the family he had always shunned before became so close that it made his chest constrict.

Not only that because of this, something that was locked up by The Hypocrite awakens. Something that holds a memory that holds secrets about Hendra's bloodline origin.

The Bloodline that is directly related to the alien invader is known as The Green One.
