Chapter 1 – New Game Part 2.
(But nope.)
(Maybe, if there is nothing interesting….?)
[Undead]
"Huh. You can be undead here?"
[Undead]
[Natural defense (Vitality stat) against necrotic and poison increased by 100% (Increase user defense against these elements.)]
[Increase damage taken from holy and light elements by 100%]
[Allows you live without breathing.]
[Resistance to bleeding (Low). The effects of the bleeding type attacks and bleeding effect will be weaken and very weak poisons will be completely nullified.]
[Resistance to poison (Low). The effects of the poison type attacks and poison effect will be weaken and very weak poisons will be completely nullified.]
[Decrees performance of the light and holy elements and skills by 100% (Cannot fall below 1%).]
[Decrees overall healing received from holy and light elements and skills by 50% (Can fall to 0% healing received.)]
[Allows the body to be reattached more easily.]
[Remove needs to eat. Are still able to eat food and use consumables that requires to be drinked or eaten. However, without need to eat, the stamina and health restoration from eating will be removed, unless the object eaten possess special stamina restoration property]
[Skeleton]
[Increase base vitality stat by 10%]
[Decrees resource consumption (MP, SP, HP) by 5%. Doesn't affect HP lost when getting hit or attacks that decreases user MP or SP.]
[Zombie]
[Possess MP, SP and HP regeneration 2.]
[Sub race]
[Chose one sub race belonging to any race. However, the effect of the race is only 50%]
[Eating may boost your regeneration of resources (MP, SP, HP). The bonus can be increased up to 2 and will linger after some time after no longer eating.]
(Only 2 options?)
(Hm….)
(Wait…. Can undead use potions?)
(I mean, in some games things like healing items are harmful to undeads, right?)
"Em… Is there anything like a help or something?"
["Hello."]
"?!"
"WTF!?"
["I'm costumers service A.I that was placed in order to assist the new players regarding the character creation."]
["Costumer said "Help" and so I activated."]
["Is there anything you want to know? Or did you said HELP by accident?"]
"…"
(Holy shit… Is this really A.I? I mean… They did said that the NPCs are like real people and all… But that feels bit creepy. I think I will need some time to get used to it…)
"…"
"Em… Actually, I'm wondering about undead."
"Can undeads use things like potions and stuff?"
["Affirmative. Undeads are able to use potions."]
["However, some potions effects may not affect undead or be harmful, especially potions containing holy element."]
"Em… Then what about regular potions like healing and maybe other stuff?"
["It works."]
"Both zombie and skeleton?"
["Yes."]
(Huh… So, if I were to pick undead… I could make up for the healing debuff with potions?)
(That does sound like good idea.)
(However, the increased damage taken from holy and light elements by 100%? Not only that skill performance decrees and even healing received decrees that are related to holy or light looks WAY too punishing.)
(I mean, I do see a lot of benefits with being undead… But these downsides are hitting very hard as well.)
(Pretty much I won't be able to play with party that has some healers or something, right? Well, I was planning on playing solo in the first place, but the downsides are pretty much cutting down classes I can pick.)
(However…. This seem like an interesting race.)
(Now…. Skeleton or zombie?)
"…"
"Question. How does the regeneration works? The 1 point of regeneration works like what?"
["It works every second. If the regeneration is 1, the player will regain 1 point of resource every second."]
(…. Let's go with zombie. The resource consumption honestly sound way better if you look at it and the vitality stat increase also sounds good.)
(But there may be times where I need more healing and considering that I cannot heal or restore stamina by eating.)
(The skeleton seem like better choice if I'm being honest, even for solo player.)
(Even if you were to go mage like me, you would still have some little bit of defense AND with the resource consumption decrees, you can use big attacks more easily, but I'm quiet curios about zombie.)
(I mean, usually things like death knights or liches in games or novels are skeleton looking ones, right? So, playing as zombie maybe interesting and the bonus doesn't bother me one bit.)
(As for the sub race… Hm…... What the hell I want to go with?)
(….)
(Orcs, nope. Elves also nope... Wow.)
(I guess the perfect option for me is human?)
(But do I really and I mean, really want to go with them? I mean, they are straight up humans – Boring.)
(Is there really nothing else that can fir the thing I'm aiming for?)
"…..."
"Nope…. Nothing fits…...Hm…..."
(I really don't want to pick humans, but it seems to be the only option I can really pick.)
(Oh well, they are not my main race anyway, so I guess its fine.)
[Human]
[Every 5th level, obtain 1 extra class point.]
[No other weakness or bonuses.]
[The effect is halved. Reason: Undead]
[Effect are changed to:
[Every 10th level, obtain 1 extra class point.]
"As for appearance…."
"Let's keep is simple. I will set height on the 1.86 m since this is my real height. Short hair. No over muscular body, slime one will do. No scars or tattoos. Let's not try to make too young or too old."
"Dark green hair and bright green eyes…. And done."
"Next stats…. Put a lot into mana and intelligent… And rest equally between all other stats."
"…."
[Starting equipment.]
(Hm…? Oh. Let's go with that.)
"…"
(Okay. This looks quite solid.)
[Would you like to finish the character creation?]
"Yeb."
[Please write down your character name]
"Let's go with my usual nickname in games."
[Phantasia]
[Do you wish to continue with your current settings?]
[Yes/No]
"This will do."
[Character creation process finished.]
[You have chosen random starting area.]
[You will be teleported to the random starting area according to your choice.]
[Oh, by the way, a heads up warning.]
"?"
[The first log in feels bit weird. So don't be scared.]
"???"
As soon as the messenger appeared, the body of the man begin to change into data and lift towards the air.
"Well then, let's see what this game has to offer."
A man vision started to disappear before going full blank and his body completely disappeared that ended up alarming the man a bit.
However, even though his body was no longer there, he could feel it and it started to feel… Weird? As if he was swimming and flying for a moment, before moments later a sudden stiffens of his body appeared.
While the man body was acting very weird, but suddenly a bright light emerged around him.
The man then realized his body was repapering, but now in much different shape and form before then breaking apart once again.
Moment later, the man could finial open his eyes once again and before he realized, he was already in some sort of settlement where he was surrounded by a lot of different people and a weird data particles that collided with each other before fusing together and creating new players.
[You have been transported to the beginner town Mim.]
"…"
(Okay… I think I'm in the game…)
(BUT WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ON THE START?!)
(They could give up the warning before I logged in! Jezus! Was that a prank or something made by developers?!)
"…"
The man quickly calmed himself down before then starting to look around.
(This must be a starting area by the look of things. It's packet like hell with people. Literally the game just release and this place is already filled with people.)
(?)
(Huh…. I though there would be a more… Humans or something? I see humans… But I also see dark elves, dwarfs and orcs?)
(Oh right… I'm undead… So, it does make sense I will find myself in some starting area for the less "Human" starting areas. Or is because I just chosen random?)
(The pop up winddown said this is beginner city Mim. I think this one of the places mentioned on the websites. Honestly, I chose the random starting area since I didn't know what to pick.)
(Anyway, this place looks interesting. It does gives nice fantasy like vibe.) – though the Phantasia while looking around.
The man approached the fountyn near him and looked at his reflection.
The man appearance looked that of a man in his 20 with dark green hair and bright green eyes. Beside his eyes and hair, his overall appearance was very average. However, his dead skin and unliving look obviously made him look non-human.
(Huh. I really do look different. On top of that, feeling. I feel like I'm moving just like in real life.)
The man tried doing different things, trying to test out different things.
(Jumping. Pinching myself. All of it feels real. I heard it took years to make this game, but how many years are we speaking of? Honestly, I'm quiet curios right now.)
(Honestly, I want to take a look around and all, but I don't know where to begin.)
"?"
(People are gathering over there. What for?)
Phantasia approached the to the spot where group of people was spotted and saw a notice board.
"?"
[Quest has been generated.]
[Lil Blue Slime Hunt]
[Rank: G]
[Alright rookie! Time to show what you got! Go and hunt monsters called lil blue slime. You can find them in the west and south after leaving the town. You are able to sell any item drops you got from the monster to the NPCs.]
[Slay 5 lil blue slimes.]
[Reward: EXP]
"Huh."
"So, it's like a starting quest."
(I see some people are already running off and some people are looking around.)
(Hm... Okay. I can look around later. Maybe it's better idea to head straight toward the hunting grounds. I had once or twice problem with hunting in MMORPG games where everybody hunted in the same area, I had wait for the monster to respawn to finish a goddammed quest.)
(I rather avoid doing that bullshit. So, I better make run for it.)
Phantasia left the area and headed straight towards south in order who leave the town.
"…. Wow."
(I wonder who designed this? This place look straight out of another world. Well, I'm technically in another world.)
(Or am I still in my world? This is virtual reality. My body is still in real world. But I my consciousness is here and I can even feel this body and all. Or I somehow splinted into two different people? How in bloody hell does that work?!)
"Well, I would probably not understand really. This is stuff straight out of the novel and all."
(Anyway, by the look of things I reached the exit already. I can see few people behind me and in front of me heading in the same direction. By the look of things, I wasn't only one with this idea. Let's just hope we won't get in each other way.)
Phantasia passed the city gate and when he did, he saw a grass field everywhere.
(Wow. This looks nice. The grass…. Smell like a grass and feels like a grass when touching it. The details in this world…. Are way too good… And bit scary in their own way?)
"?"
(I think I can see some trees far ahead? Maybe it's a forest? Can't say. Got to go bit closer.)
(Anyway, I don't see any monsters, even though I left the city. By any chance the area around the city is safe zone? Maybe if I walk bit further away from it, I will find some monsters to fight.)
Phantasia begin walking thought the grass field, moving farther away from city gate.
"I wonder how far I have to walk until I- "
'SQUISH'
(?)
"What was that?"
(My foot just bumped into something soft?)
Phantasia looked down and saw a small ball of liquid with eyes.
[Lil Blue Slime] – [Level 1]
"Huh. It's quite cute."
(Its level 1 and it looks quite weak. By the look of things this is the monster I was supposed to find and kill.)
"…."
"…. Fuck me. It's quite cute if you look at it. I kind of want to pet it."
Suddenly, the slime begin to wiggle around before then jumping straight at the Phantasia.
"Whoa!"
Phantasia moved away, making the slime attack miss him.
"Right. Kind of forgot it's a monster."
"Sorry little bud."
Arion took out his crossbow and aimed with the crossbow at the slime before then firing it.
The crossbow bolt flew and hit the slime dead on, right in the middle of the slime body.
"Pi!" – the slime made noise when the bolt hit it.
"Piiiii…..."
[You have slain Lil Blue Slime – Level 1.]
[You have received 2 EXP.]
The moment the slime died, its corpse begin to emit particle like effect where parts of its body was being slowly turned into particles and after some time passed the entire monster corpse was gone.
(Huh, so this is like a death animation in this game? The body slowly turns into particles and disappear.)
"Anyway, something dropped on the ground."
[Lil Blue Slime Goo] [Lil Blue Slime Core]
(Item drops huh? It looks just like that slime, but way smaller and without eyes or anything. Can this thing be even used for anything?)
[EXP: 2/10]
(Huh. I almost leveled up. I guess I have to kill 4 more if I want to level up.)
(Anyway, this feels quite nice. I can feel the crossbow and its weigh. Also firing it feels and seem very real. I can tell that using weapons will be interesting.)
(However what about the magic?)
Phantasia looked around and before long he found another slime monster nearby just jumping around in cutely way.
"So… According to the tutorial menu… I have to do this?"
"[Poison Shot]."
A magic circle suddenly appeared right in front of the man palm before moment later, a bullet made out of purple poison was fired at the slime, killing the monster instantly on the hit.
[You have slain Lil Blue Slime – Level 1.]
"Huh… It really worked?"
(Not only that, that was a magic?)
(I know this is the weakest magic, since it was from the level 1 [Beginner Poison Mage] class, but still, it looked interesting?)
(I got to hand this to the developers. If this is just the start, how much fun would I have as I start playing more and more of this game?!)
Phantasia went around, hunting around any slimes he found and killed them before anybody else could get them before him.
[You have slain Lil Blue Slime – Level 1.]
[You have slain Lil Blue Slime – Level 1.]
"Huh… That really only took few moments." – said Phantasia while trying to catch a breath.
(I guess coming here before too many people got here was a good idea. But I can already see more people coming out from the settlement.)
(Anyway, only one more slime to go to level up and finish the quest.)
Phantasia beginned looking around.
"…."
"Ah! There."
Phantasia aimed with his crossbow at the slime monster, however before he could shot a man run straight at the slime and slashed it with his sword, killing it.
"Hey, what was that for?" – said Phantasia.
"Hm? What do you mean?" – asked the man with the sword.
"I was about to shoot it. What the hell man?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know."
"…"
"!"
Phantasia spotted another slime near him and tried aiming with his crossbow, but the man wielding sword jumped in again and stole the kill.
"…."
"Ah! Sorry mate!" – said the sword wielding player.
"…"
Phantasia didn't responded to the man and looked around for another slime. Afte few seconds he manage to find the slime and aimed with his crossbow at the slime however the on the swordman face a smirk appears before then for the third time the swordman jumped in and killed the slime.
"…"
"Em… Well- "
Before the sword wielding player could say anything, the man got hit right in the head with the crossbow bolt.
"?!"
"What the fuck?!" – shouted the man with the sword.
"Huh… Even though I hit you in the head, you didn't died? I guess those beginner weapons really suck ass and can only kill the slimes?" – said Phantasia to himself.
"?!"
"The fuck- "
"[Poison Shot]."
Phantasia didn't showed any mercy and fired the poison projectile at the man, hitting the man before he realized.
After getting hit in the face, the man ended up getting on his knees while having a confused look on his face
The man stared in disbelief as Phantasia was not even showing any remorse or anything and was just staring up trying to kill him.
The man tried to get up, but Phantasia didn't showed any mercy and just kicked the man right in the face, knocking him completely on the ground.
"Fuck! You motherfucker!"
The man tried to get up, but as soon as he did, he saw the Phantasia holding the reloaded crossbow that was being pointed right at him.
"…"
Phantasia pulled the trigger, fired the crossbow bolt at point blank range that ended up hitting the man right in the eye, killing the player.
"…"
"This is just a start, so let's troll around some people and have fun."
"Yea? Fuck you buddy."
(I'm not some "Buddy" or friend, so do you really think I won't just murder you on the spot?)
"?"
[You have received a title!]
"Hm? What is that?"
[First Murder]
[You are the first adventure to ever murder the adventure! You could be consider one of the first criminals in the adventurer world!]
[Title Rank: D]
[Title Effect]
[+50 stat points.]
"Oh. Huh. So, I'm the first person to ever kill somebody?"
"I like that >:)" – said the man with very evil smile in his face.
(So, killing other players can give me rewards? That is very, VERY interesting!)
"…"
"PFFFFFFFFFF!"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!
(I WANT TO LAUGHT! I WANT TO SCREAM!)
(This is what I wanted!)
(No need to play hero or anything! Just freedom of choice!)
(A real choice!)
(This what I wanted!)
(A game where you can really be a TRUE VILLAIN!)
"…"
"Ha…. When was the last time I enjoyed myself?"
The player wasn't bothered one bit by just committing the crime.
If anything, he enjoyed it.
It was the first day of the game.
…
And yet, somebody dangerous had already showed up.
A somebody who will bring chaos to this new world.
