Taking the assault rifle back from the cashier I tell him that I don't have enough, and that I'll look
for something more affordable. Looking around the shop some more I spot what looks like a hunting dagger. Taking it back to the cashier I ask him how much the dagger would cost.
"That will be 90 copper sir." he says back to me.
Wow. I can just barely, barely afford the dagger. Giving him the 90 copper coins, I take the dagger from and begin to leave the store when I suddenly realized that I had no clue where I was going. Since Void Heart Online
was an VRMMORPG there should obviously be places to grind, right? Heading back to the cashier I ask if there are any places I can hunt.
"Well sir that information will cost you 5 copper coins."
I look at him with a bewildered expression. You want me to pay you extra money for information? Are you
trying to scam me? As I suck it up, I decide that I'll give him the money, but only because I don't know where I'm going.
As I hand over the money, I look into my empty inventory in sorrow.
"Outside of the city on the north side, there is a place where there are lots of beginner monsters." he says.
"So if you head north and get to the gate, your allowed to hunt the beasts."
I look at the cashier again before leaving the store. I'll take my revenge someday!
Walking through the streets of the city I begin to realize just how big this place. There aren't a lot of people on the streets because it seems to be midnight. Looking around at my surroundings, the city gives off a very dreary vibe. But as a looked at the sky, tons of small lights danced in the air, like small fireflies. It was a sight to behold.
Finally making it to the gate after around 20-30 minutes walking, I spot people patrolling the gate to the city.
It seems that monsters attack the city quite a lot for there to be this many guards. There were at least 20 guards patrolling the wall that thundered 30 feet tall. The wall was lined with what seemed to be gattling guns, and all of the guards has assault rifles on their backs. Approaching one
of the guards I begin to talk.
"Hello sir I was wondering if I could exit the city please?"
"Please state your reason for leaving this late at night." The guard says back.
"I want to hunt monster."
"Kid I'm going to be honest with you, hunting at night is not a very good idea. You'll have a disadvantage against the monsters, and you really don't look like your old enough to hunt monsters."
That's when I came to the realization that the system that sent me here hadn't told me how old I was. Not to help the
situation, but I also hadn't seen what I looked like! At all!
"Oh I see... Sorry sir, I'll be on my way now" I say to the guard as I sprint away.
Running away I try to find any sort of glass surface that I can see my reflection with. I continue running for quite some time. God Damn! Why are there no windows in this city? Eventually I find a store that has a window that I can look at myself in. After seeing what I looked like, I almost had a breakdown. Instead of being 26, I look like a 13 year old kid!
Instead of my regular brown hair, I now had black hair. My eyes were a shade of purple and blue that looked like the galaxy. I also realized that I looked pretty malnourished. I could almost see my bones! I would say that I was around 5 feet and 7 inches, but I obviously couldn't get the exact measurement. Ok, calm down. Taking deep breaths I decide that I should try to find some

shelter and cope with this new body of mine.
I was pretty happy, as I had found out a lot of things about myself and this world I was in. But then remembered that I had spent all of my money, so it wouldn't be possible to find a place to sleep. Why did this happen to me? I wander around the street until I found an alleyway that was pretty big. As I found a spot that wasn't wet or filled with trash, I tried to fall asleep.
As the sun peaked across the horizon, I woke up in the alleyway, with a big headache and a stiff neck. Sitting up
I stretch all of my body parts and head out of the alleyway. I begin to head towards the north gate, when I hear a
robotic like voice sound in my head.
"New features unlocked! Please work hard!"

It seems that the new features that the system added were the time, and my age. Closing my status I resume my approach towards the north gate of the city.
Getting to the north gate I ask the guard the same thing I asked before. The guard finally lets me out of the city.
Exiting the city through the huge metallic gate felt pretty cool, and as I looked around I could finally see outside the city.
Far away I could see mountains that streched for what seems like miles. There were forests and small hills everywhere.
As i countinued out of the city I was stopped by a man that looked like he was in his 20's. Am i about to get robbed again?
"Hey kid, I have a favor to ask. Can you kill 3 horned wolves for me?"
As soon as the man asked the question, a screen appeared infront of me with big letters in bold.
Quest: hunt 3 horned woves
As you were exiting the city, a man asked you to kill 3 horned wolves for him
he will give you a good reward if you manage to do so.
Reward: 50 copper coins 150 exp and skill [dismemberment] lv 1
"Sure I can kill them for you" I respond back, accepting the quest
Having taken the quest I ran into the forest to try to find some monsters. Eventually I found what looked like a horned wolf. It looked like a wolf, but had a horn in its forehead. Wow, the developers were really creative with this one, huh?
Sneaking up on the wolf, I jumped and stabbed it in the leg. The wolf turned around with lightning speed nearly impaling me!I backed off and me and the wolf entered a standoff. The wolf lunges towards me and I jump to the left, barely doging the horn. I lunge twords the wolfs side and stab it in its side.
The wolf lets out a howl as it falls to the ground. The system then proceeds to tell me I have earned 10 exp for killing the wolf.I decide to put the corpse in the inventory. The corpse takes up 1/5 of the space of my inventory, and it looks like I can store 5 corpses. I run around the forest, sneak attacking wolves with my knife. After my 3rd kill i hear the system tell me something.
"skill [Sneak] lv 1 has been learned"
Thats pretty neat I guess. Since I was sneaking around I got the sneak skill. Then finally I kill the 5th wolf and decide to head back to the man. Heading back to the man I look at the peaceful forest. Getting back to the old man I drop a pile of wolf corpses infront of him.
"Wow you actually did it. I didn't expect that."
I glare daggers at the old man, as he explaines how to chop animals up. After listining to the lecture the
quest is complete and the system tells me something.
"You have levlled up. You are now level 2!"
"You have completed the quest. Skill [dissmemberment] lv 1 has been awarded"
I decide to look at my status
