Think about a kid who is waiting for his/her birthday?, probably that kid will have a hard time controlling his excitement, I remember counting every moment when i was waiting for my birthday.
That is exactly what our protagonist William felt last 3 month but only difference is instead of his birthday he was waiting for Royal Road capsule to come. You mean what is Royal Road?
Royal Road is VRMMORPG that is reigning over world as a most wanted game of century. 1 year ago Unicorn corp developed Royal Road using cutting edge technology of Virtual Reality into game. During 1 year after the birth, Royal Road quickly became number one game that every gamers wanted and walked the path of the emperor with serenity.
William ordered the game 3 months ago, and today is the day for the game to finally arrive in his house.

“thud thud thud”
After hearing the sound of the door he rushed downstairs to open it, behind the door there was an Unicorn corp employees wearing black T-Shirt with a picture of white horned horse.
“Hello, is it a house of Mr.William ?”
“yeah it is, I'm William”
"we are from Unicorn Corp and we would like to install the capsule, can you show us where should we install it?”
“okay come inside, I'll lead you to my room” William told them with a wave and leaded them to his room.
They installed the capsule in no time and gave him a manual, then went out almost running away from him. William confused a little and then began to read his manual.
................................................................................................................................................................................
Few minutes later back at the Unicorn corp building.
There was a two guys who installed Williams capsule conversing with each other
Unicorn corp worker1: "phew, that guy was creepy" said while wiping his sweat from his head.
Unicorn corp worker2: "i know right?!, he was like panting and grinning whole time while we are there"
Unicorn corp worker1: "yea,i thought he was going to attack us"
Unicorn corp worker2: "haha, same here"
Unicorn corp worker1: "we won't meet him again right ?"
Unicorn corp worker2: "i hope so" . . .
................................................................................................................................................................................
William finished reading manual and found out that there isn't much information on game itself, most of the information provided on the manual was technical stuff related to capsule.
"sigh . ., i guess i'll start playing it" William said to himself and went to the capsule.

he always chose this name on every game he played ever since he was young so he naturally answered it without a thought.
Select your gender from male, female or neutral
"hmmm, female and neutral sounds tempting" William fantasized few moment on what should he do with female body but he figured that if his parents of friends found out about this it won't be pretty and chose:

“skip”
he skipped through the last parts because he thought it was waste of time.
"Flash"
Sudden flash of light blinded him for a few seconds.
"My eyes!! goddamit !!! warn before flashing!!!" "Ohh i can see a little now" William yelled.
he regained his vision little by little to only see people laughing, pointing at him. William understood what had happened and run away crowd with bright red face.
"pant pant pant" he run to the outskirt of the town where there was no one in sight. and said
"can't believe i made a fool out of myself like this" still embarrassed, and began to check his avatar.
“So this is the virtual reality I can't believe they made something like this” checking out his body and surrounding and realized that what he dreamed and assumed what it'll be Virtual Reality like is completely wrong.

“hmmm. It looks bad . . . really bad . .. i wonder if i can beat even little rabbit with this stats "sigh". ." he sighed and proceeded to check his inventory.
But all he found was 10 piece of rye bread and one empty canteen of water. Then he decided to fill out his empty canteen with water for now and luckily he spotted fountain when he first arrived in this world so he found his way easily. On the way he remembered about what happened there and he hesitated a little but still went there hoping no one recognize will him.
William took out his canteen from inventory, opened the cap and about to fill his canteen with water something pulled his shirt gently.
When he looked around to see what was bothering him then he found a skinny little girl dressed in dirty white dress looking at him with a puppy eyes saying:
“Hey, mister can I have something to eat?”
. . . . after few moment of silent he answered
"i have only rye bread do you want it?"
girl nodded,
William rummaged through his backpack for a brief moment he found a rye bread and hand it to her with a canteen of water. Girl took the bread drooling and wolfed the whole thing in an instant she got.
She told “Thank you Mister” with a bright smile after her meal.
then William said
“I am William, what is your name?”
“jenny”
“Where is your parents? Where do you live? i could accompany you until you get to your house” asked lots of question thinking that he could get a quest from her parents.
“I don't know ever since they gone to the palace they are missing, after that I have been searching for my parents ever since!" she said with a grumpy face. with a moment silence she asked
"mister can you help me to find my parents?”
