Elysium: WA Must Support
Hey Guys,
Today I want you to check out Elysium, my pick for today’s WA Must Support – as an avid video-gamer I especially liked the whole premise about the story being set in the world of a popular MMORPG. So here, check it out:
Story Blurb:
You think you’ve found your kind of game? If you haven’t tried Elysium then think again. It’s not just a game … it’s the life you’ve always dreamed of.
Synopsis:
Elysium is a widely popular massively multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG). University student Erlyn Mae Thor jumps into the bandwagon just for the sake of relieving her curiosity as to why this fantasy game was slowly dominating reality. This highly realistic simulation game appears to be her best adventure yet. She enters the game as Maren Ely Roth, a newbie mage. She meets other players and they set out to defeat monsters and other players. They will be tested physically, emotionally and psychologically. But ultimately, it becomes a quest to beat the game.
Sneak Peak:
The waitress had barely set down our food when our table was overturned. Somebody had crashed onto our table with a sword unsheathed.
“Woah! You alright, man?” Aethan rushed. “Here.” He offered his hand to the stranger.
“I’m good. Thanks,” the stranger replied and took his hand. “I can’t say the same for her.”
We all looked toward the direction he was pointing at.
Just across our table to the right, a group of players surrounded a girl who looked about ready to cry any moment. It appears that they want to take money or whatever possession she has.
In an instant, we were on our feet and heading toward the uncouth group. Aethan was first on the scene. He grabbed one of them by the shoulder. In his Aethan-like manner, he tried to talk to them politely. But the one he was holding shrugged his hand off then seized him by the neck then lifted him off the ground.
The bow appeared in my hands the moment I saw the injury being wrought upon those innocent people. I let loose two arrows – one quickly after another. The first hit the thug restraining the girl and the next hit the arm holding Aethan’s neck.
Aethan dropped onto the floor in a gasping heap.
“PvP,” I announced. Why I did that, I have no idea.
“Fine by me,” Aethan gasped.
I looked at Drial who himself was being held against sword point. The look he gave me was enough to confirm what we all wanted.
“You think you can defeat us, you small fry?” one thug mocked. “Just because you took a lucky hit you think you’re already that great, huh. Fine then. PvP it is.
“You made a grave mistake, little girl. After this battle you’ll find yourself back at starting point.”
Author Bio:

Her writing began during her elementary years as a journalist for the school paper but her interest in fantasy sparked only after she became acquainted with the internet (which wasn’t too long ago).
