Disclaimer: I own nothing , this is purely a fanfic for enjoyment. Cross-over from various games , books and anime. This is my first fanfic, I hope I did a decent job.
Theme: Adventure/Humor
Zed was an ordinary teenager who has a craving for RPG and MMORPG games, recently he currently has his eye out for a particular game called Royal Road, he heard about some VRMMO before like SAO and THE WORLD, but both those games became a game to die for (literally).With a crazy creator and some npc(AI) gone rouge and what not. This new game had has his hopes up, sure the other games that turned into a death game gave him shivers, but he wanted to be a hero too (without the dangerous life threatening consequences). It has always been his dream to be a hero, so with his money saved up from the jobs he did, he finally bought his own capsule with the game and after setting it up he was ready to enter a new world.
* Royal Road Connect?
Yes/No
Zed: yes
Brilliant lights of different colors zoomed across zed's eyes and a feeling dizziness warping his senses and when it passed away, he was greeted with a girl with long hair, cute blue eyes, rosy cheeks , a tan skin and red lips. She was wearing casual clothes with a frilly skirt. One thing he noticed though was that she was sitting on a hovering on a metallic looking chair. He guessed that she was an AI and she greeted him.
AI: Welcome to Royal Road, please select your name.
Zed: Zed.
AI: Please select your gender.

Zed: Male
AI: Please select your Avatar. Currently there are 49 avatar races available.
Zed: "Hmm 49, probably from the demands of fans, I'll just use the the most balanced one." Human.
AI: Do you want to change your appearance?
Zed: No, I'll start as is.
AI: Where do you want to start your character?
Zed: I'll go with random.
AI: You will be teleported to The Citadel of Serabourg, Rosenheim Kingdom.
Zed was surrounded by light and was teleported at the city of Rosenheim. What he saw was breathtaking and the realism was outstanding. He was looking around town and wandered near the city gates until he was stopped at the gates. The guards said that new Freeman are not allowed outside the city gates for four weeks. He guessed that Freeman was a term for players and wondered what to do. He checked his inventory and saw it contained 10 pieces of rye bread , a canteen and 10 pieces of copper. He pondered on what to do as these item won't last long. He decided he needed information, so he asked around town for the library and decided to walk there. After he arrived there he decided to ask the librarian on information on how to get stronger but the librarian that he should go to the training hall across town but zed was lazy and asked if there are other ways to get stronger. The librarian replied there is also spiritual strength and said that it can be found on books on the library and asked if zed had a library card. Zed asked where he could buy a library card and the librarian told him that it costs 1 silver. Sadly zed didn't have that much money and asked if there was any way he could get it by working. The librarian told him that ther has a shipment of new books arriving and he need help carrying and arranging it.

-You have leveled up. Reached level 2
Zed decided to ignore it for now and decided to explore the library and read a bunch of books. He noticed after he finished reading the books that he got some bonus stats on Int and Wis. Zed's knowledge grew and found out that there are many professions available and some of them are hidden or a secret class. After pondering about the possibilities Zed decided to get a class at his reach and since he had amassed a couple of int and wiz stat, he would decide to be a mage and asked the librarian mage related books. The librarian gave zed a pile of books to choose from and decided to start reading and after a few days and stumbled upon a skill.
* Learned skill:
Magic mastery lv 1(01%)
-enables a person to manipulate mana.
Int +2
Neutral magic + 5%
Casting speed + 5%
Zed was exited, the thought of having discovered such skill that had such possibilities meant that this was a gateway to freeform magic which meant unique magic. Zed had no doubt that some players have gained access to this but creativity and imagination varies from person to person so the possibility may vary and with it new skills. Zed really wanted to experiment but sadly his supply of food was very low and decided to look for more quests. He decided to find a quest at the restaurant in order to get food and get the chance of learning the cooking skill, It was like killing 2 birds with 1 stone. After Zed two week service at the restaurant, he managed to get the cooking skill lv5 and managed to get some dex and stamina stat to boot. Zed was pretty satisfied with himself and decides to use his remaining two weeks to practice his magic.
After fining a nice place to train Zed practiced and thought to form his mana to a ball in his hand.He managed to make it form after a couple of tries and he decided that he wanted to make it brighter. Zed succeeded and he heard a ping sound.

The church gave zed 5 bottles of holy water for this quest. Upon reaching the abandoned mansion. at night time, Zed went inside the building and reached its innermost part. Zed wasn't afraid because of his Lumus skill, but upon reaching his destination things started to float eerily near him, scared senseless zed took his vials of holy water and sprayed it around him like a madman. Zed was scared, he was left with his last bottle of holy water and accidentally poured it on his lumus spell. A sudden his lumus spelled glowed blue and a ding caught his attention and saw his status window with a new skill. This is how he got his ruwach skill, Zed quickly used his new spell and revealed two ghost. With renewed vigor zed attacked the ghosts and when the ghosts was almost killed they started to beg him for mercy.
