Upon seeing the scenery Kai couldn’t believe what he saw. A village with a few houses like in medieval times exactly like he saw in a book once, surrounded by multiple trees and a clear blue sky.
“Wow, I could never imagine I would see so many trees” Kai said as he looked around
Kai has lived in a city all his life, and in the city there was hardly any greenery around there were just mostly buildings, machinery and trash. There is greenery upon the nicer side of the city but a lot of money was required to live there.
“Everything feels so real” Kai said as he took a breath of air
Than he began testing his movements, while walking and jumping around.
If someone else saw this people would describe Kai as someone who never played a virtual reality game before a better term for a word for Kai right now is, a noob.
“*Sigh*You can hardly tell the difference at all” Kai said while sighing thinking on what you can experience if you had money, if he never found this gaming helmet he would probably never experience virtual reality in his entire life.
“mhmm Let’s see here” Kai said while looking at the corner bottom of his view there was multiple action commands.
“Inventory”
*Poof* A window screen suddenly appeared in front of Kai showing multiple small empty boxes next to each other in total all together makes 6 rows of 8.
“Oh a dagger!” Kai said excited to wield his first weapon
Upon clicking the dagger and selecting equip the dagger appeared in Kai’s right hand
*Whoosh* Kai swung the dagger multiple times at the left and right direction
“Haha, this is pretty cool”
“Okay what’s next… character info!”
*Poof* A screen window appeared in front of Kai showing his basic stats and the equipment he was currently using

“Wow I’m weak…” Kai said while checking his stats
Kai then proceeded to enter the village. Walking around he saw many new players just like him which surprised Kai, since he joined few months later after release everyone should at least be higher level areas but he figured the game was just really popular heck there was multiple shows about this game posted online, Kai even heard people he knew talk about the game in general and they can’t even afford a decent meal.
As Kai approached a fountain in the middle of the village he saw multiple players talking to an old man.
The old man was holding a wooden cane while he was stroking his white beard. On top of his head appeared his name [Village Elder] Arun
‘Wow this must be an NPC, you can hardly tell the difference between a real player’ Kai said to himself upon seeing the old man’s appearance.
‘The village elder must be the one giving out quests and info’
Seeing how players were talking to the old man Kai sat down on a bench and waited for his turn.
“Hello village elder” Kai said approaching the village elder after 5 minutes of waiting
“Hello there young man” The elder replied while stroking his white beard
“Could you please tell me about where I am?” Kai asked
“You are currently at Evergreen Starter Village, upon reaching level 10 by combat or quests you can move onto the city for your job promotion”
“Could I please get a quest?”
“Mhmm recently there is a lot of horned rabbits lately and are attacking our villagers, could you please take care of them?”
*Poof* suddenly a window screen appeared in front of Kai
System Announcement: Slay 10 horned rabbits
Do you accept?
“Yes”
After accepting the quest Kai headed out
Upon reaching an opening in front of a village there were multiple rabbits the size of a cat hopping around with horns the size of pencil on their heads
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
“Wow that’s a huge rabbit” Kai said seeing the horned rabbit
Horned Rabbit
Level: 1
Attack: 4-6
Defense: 3-5
Health: 15
A horned rabbit hopping near Kai suddenly attacked when seeing Kai
*Whossh* the horn rabbit jumped and stabbed Kai right in the leg
“Ow! What the hell!”
-4 hp!
Kai jumped back surprised at the sudden quick attack by the horned rabbit and the damage it did
“4 damage… two more hits and I’m dead” Kai said still in shock after the first attack
Suddenly the horned rabbit once again pounced. Seeing this Kai quickly dodge left but fell down from too much momentum
Miss!
“This rabbit is crazy!” Kai yelled after being attacked
The rabbit once against pounced on Kai.
Seeing the rabbit attack yet again Kai quickly dodged by rolling on the floor
Miss!
“Okay you F**King Rabbit, see how you like getting attacked!”
After being attacked three times Kai finally lost it and suddenly jumped up and then slashed the horned rabbit with his dagger.
Seeing how Kai attacked back the horned rabbit suddenly jumped back causing Kai’s attack to miss and then after landing the horned rabbit countered attacked by quickly jumping and pouncing on Kai, stabbing him in the stomach.
Miss!
-4 hp!
“What!” Kai yelled
Kai was in shocked this horned rabbit actually dodged his attack then quickly countered him
“I thought this was a starter village!” Kai yelled
The horned rabbit once again pounced on Kai, luckily he reacted by falling down on the floor causing the horned rabbit’s attack to miss
Miss!
“Jesus Christ… How is this fair…” Kai whined while lying on the ground
It’s actually quite normal for monsters to react this way. Since the first creation of virtual reality games many companies aimed to make it very realistic like the environment, the same feeling of moving your body, and especially the combat system. Also Kai right now is playing the newest release of virtual reality NEW WORLD by one of the top companies of the world, everything is advance. Players who played virtual reality before would have no problems at all battling a level 1 horned rabbit but for Kai it’s a new experience for him, also he has never experienced real combat before.
The horned rabbit once again pounced trying to stab Kai once again with its very sharp horn. Seeing this Kai had no time to dodge so he awkwardly slashed the horned rabbit while it was mid-air hoping that the attack would land and save his life.
-4 hp!
The attack was successful! The rabbit was hit mid-air and then fell on the ground from the momentum
“Oh my god… I did it!” Kai yelled with happiness then quickly stood up setting up his awkward stance getting ready for the next attack
The horned rabbit quickly stood up, its eyes turned red becoming enraged after being attack
“oh shit…” Kai said nervously seeing the horned rabbit red glowing eyes
The horned rabbit quickly ran straight to Kai then jumped aiming its horn right at Kai’s neck in a matter of seconds.
Kai seeing the horn right in front of his face panicked and quickly moved back resulting him to fall down once again on the floor.
-Miss!
“Screw this I’m running!”
Kai like a man he is, quickly got up and started to run from the level 1 horned rabbit.
Suddenly as Kai started to run a horned rabbit near him got aggroed upon seeing Kai and began to attack as well. The horned rabbit quickly pounced on Kai stabbing him on the back resulting on his death.
-5 hp!
“What! What happened!” Kai yelled helplessly as he fell down to the ground
*Poof* A small message screen appeared in front of him
You have died.
Would you like to resurrect?
