Chapter 1: Character creation 1
Inside a dark and poorly lit office building, a figure of a person was sat before a computer and typing at a fast speed.
As an orphan and someone who experienced numerous setbacks when it came to love and had decided to devote their time to their job in order to live a happier and successful life.
Once this game code is completed and has been completely tested for bugs the game will be released and she would be able to pay off her remaining university debts and begin a new life.
After finishing typing the lady in her mid twenties stopped what she was doing and saved and finalised the code.
Alyssia was born and abandoned by her parents at the door of an orphanage at a young age.
She grew up struggling to fight for care and affection for those around her with the other kids.
She went in and out of various families because of many reasons like the family unexpectedly giving birth to a son and her presence was no longer needed or they no longer had the time to spare to take care of her.
After several failures she developed a hardworking and independent personality which got her through school and college moving onto university while also working small part time jobs.
After leaving the orphanage she lived in the dorm rooms and then moved into a small flat.
During her life she had four serious relationships and another really short one but she eventually was fed up with men and the way they did not take her seriously and would usually talk down to her because of her origins.
She enjoyed reading many kinds of web novels and comics or manga and eventually fell in love with a couple of adventure and fighting based manga like one piece, bleach, Naruto, dragon ball and my hero academia.
She most loved the worlds that the characters lived in, although some were very harsh worlds to live in they still had many types of strange powers and abilities that were based on magic, a form energy or superpowers but she also loved that there were many inspirational female characters that were in those worlds.
After she had graduated from university and gotten a job as a game programmer she began to put forward an idea and worked on it for the company she worked for and hoped to get cooperation with the original author and artist.
After much trial and error she had finally finished the code and added pieces of artwork to the game to make it work.
Once she had tested it she could begin to show her product to her superiors and get their further support.
The game involves the world of one piece and while the games story does not change the world itself is moving according to the script with one slight change.
The character created by the player can enter the world and take up a role within the world whether it be merchant, martial artist, bounty hunter, marine, world government, noble, pirate, bandit, gangster, swordsman, scientist or even chef and begin to influence the world around them in their own way whether it be non existent as they set up a small shop and casually play or they go hardcore mode and try to rule the world.
With the choice of race many options are given while some taken away and also where the game begins at the creation of the character is decided by what is chosen.
For example a human would be able to begin their first spawn in most places but others would only be able to spawn in a place where their race has been known to live.
Rather than a fighting game it was designed to be a more immersive game that lets the player find their own place within the world and live a second life there.
Alyssia let out a tired yawn as she had to stay back to finish the final part of the code and moved her mouse to click on a small icon.
On the screen an animation popped up with pictures of pirate flags, people brawling and clashes of weapons or devil fruit abilities until it finally entered the title screen.
At the title screen Alyssia moved the pointer towards the 'new game' option and then began the introduction into the world.
The story begins as Luffy is born and before he even meets up with ace so many things within the world have only just happened recently like gol d rogers execution and the pirates entering the new world causing chaos within the world followed by the rise of various warlords just as the four emperors are beginning to grasp their hold on the new world in their own way.
As the character creation screen popped up Alyssia entered her name into the characters name part.
After thinking for a while she clicked enter and then went onto the next section and began to select her race.
Weighing her options and the advantages and disadvantages of every race she found that she wanted to test out the gameplay as a mink race.
After turning on the character customiser she selected the female icon and moved onto creating the characters looks and body type.
After deciding from a long list of furry animals she had decided upon the kangaroo type for their strong legs and fighting ability.
Since kangaroos possess powerful hind legs and a long, strong tail she could make use of those features to either escape or deal devastating damage to her opponents while in combat.
Once converted into the minks half human and half beast form the character model looked very pleasing to the eyes and did not possess shorter arms like the original kangaroo so it was more human like and more suitable for the one piece world.
She selected a grey coat of fur, black eyes and nose and finished up with a black glove like marking that covered her hands and another black marking that covered her toes and the first half of her foot.
She finished up by making her hair long and black and then clicked to finalise her character.
Every mink came with their own characteristics and strengths so each persons stats begin from one to ten at the beginning depending on their race chosen and can change depending on one's training.
One to ten is considered the lowest range of abilities and then moves into the tens and can max out when it is fully within the ranges of the worlds top peoples ability range.
An average person can be considered to be between four and six in strength without any training as they have fully matured but some races have their own natural abilities and strengths while also have some of their own weaknesses.
So if the maximum strength of someone like kaido or whitebeard was around 50 then it would take a very long time of training in order to built up the strength stat to reach their level.
However for intellect there would be a certain needed limit so that the character cannot surpass characters like nami and others.
