It has been almost five years since the release of Dream World Project (D.W.P) and I only get to play it this year. At first, it wasn't really much of a game since every VRMMOrpg out there boasts lots and lots of adventures compared to D.W.P. Only last year that gamers took notice of its unique build for a VRMMOrpg. In a month, the gamr earned millions of players when they released their promotional video. I was entirely moved of what the game offers. D.W.P requires lots of skills to play since almost everything that you do there has an equivalent effect to your character. But for me, the most intriguing part of that game is the way on how you will build your character when you have all the options in the world! If you want to be a mage, you can learn from grimoires or ask other players to teach you their existing skills or if you want to be a warrior, a physical damager that boasts godly strength. Also, if you are a greedy cunt, you can choose to be a merchant inside the game. And if you're still not satisfied of being a greedy cunt, a masculine warrior or an intelligent mage, why not become all of them and learn more! This game offers almost unlimited possibilities that gamers would not ask for more because there is always more!

As excited as I was, I eased myself on my trusty bed and wore my Virtual Reality Console (V.R.C). The V.R.C looks like a motorcycle helmet cover almost your whole head. My first game with this console was a monster hunting game which entertained me at first but then, hunting monsters and making their insides or parts of their bodies as my weapon bored me. So now, I'm going to try the game where you can be anyone as long as you strive hard enough for it. Okay, the latter part would be hard for me because I got bored almost instantly to anything. But hey, maybe this game would change me for the better.

Having the V.R.C turned on, I came through my first dive into the Dream World Project!

At first, the logo of the game was shown before me and lead me to the character creation which was I think the worst character creation because it will only let you pick the clothes that you would want to wear on your first appearance on the D.W.P.

A big closet full of various for-level-one-looking clothes now lies before me. I only picked a black trench coat on a white shirt. And of course, black trousers and boots. I think these are the best clothes you can find inside that godly closet which I think carries an almost infinite amount of ugly clothes.

After closing the closet, millions of long rectangular light appeared from under my feet and teleported me into a place inside the game called Newbie Land. Why am I not surprised? Maybe this is the reason why in the old days, gamers won't play this game because, the hell's with that name for your first village?! Anyway, the Newbie Land has lots of people in it and it appears to be that I'm in the middle of the market. How do I get so lucky?

I managed to scuttle and squeeze myself out of that tsunami of people inside the market area. Even in these narrow streets, I can hear the shouts of the NPC's, players for their goods. Almost every building in this area is made of brown bricks that made this look like an old cartoon setting. But hey, who am I to to choose what kind of concrete they'll use for these things? I ain't planning to stick around here for long!

The menus can be summoned when the player says the word 'Menu' inside his head. There are only five options here:

First is Character Status. This options shows your stats and a button on the lower right of the screen contains the skills that a player has already acquired. Also, this menu shows what part of the body is damaged and what items are equipped to a player's character.

Second is inventory. On top of this menu, you can see how much gold you have. Gold is the common currency in D.W.P. Of course, below it, is the list of items that a player acquired. It appears that this game has a carry weight limit. A carry weight limit, as the name suggests, limits a player to carry item(s) that would exceed the current limit of the character. Eventually, as the character levels and grows, skills help to increase this limit.

Third is Companions menu. Here, you can see what guild or party you're in. Also, this is where the friend list can be found.

Fourth menu is Contact Help. This menu contains the list of available Game Masters or Moderators that can be of any service to the player. I bet this button is seldom used like the scroll box of the Terms and Conditions when you are signing up for something online.

Fifth menus is the Log out button which in any case, is also seldom used. I bet people here knows this world better than their way to the bathroom.

Okay! Now to start off, I opened my inventory and found that I have been given wooden dagger. Wow, this game really is generous. I wouldn't mind if it's plastic. Really, what a time to be alive. I swiped all my ideas to bad mouth this game on the back of my head and headed for the gate of the village. I walked gracefully as I passed through people whom looked like they already aged and going to die here. Some people wore chainmails, large polished armors, leather armors and I even saw some of the wearing Royal Gowns. Wow, this game can really turn you into almost anyone. Maybe I will be able to turn myself into Michael Jackson later or something.

Reaching the gate, I saw a group of people who looked like they were defeated in battle. Their armors looks like they have been in a bad war. The flags that they carried looked a bit burned and their faces are grim. They are mounted on large black or brown horses that walked in a single file. I kept my distance since I am a newbie and don't want no trouble. After they passed through, I realized that the Newbie Land is a large castle that can house millions of peolple. Its place was strategic for it is almost high in the mountains and has a moat that would prevent an army to advance inside without this large wooden bridge. I do hope there is a siege event where Newbie Land will be attacked by monsters. There, I can see a real battle!

Getting hyped again, I rushed myself outside and saw lots of newbie players like me with smiles on their faces while killing those little things that you can find in almost every single damn game, Slimes. What in the hell? People? Smiling while killing slimes? Some even smile like a maniac. Now I'm afraid.

Before I considered logging out to escape the view of people killing slimes with huge smiles on their faces, I ran on the far South Eastern side of the castle where less people with maniac smiles dwell. Here, I saw a slime coming towards me with its hideous smile. Why are you smiling you little blue devil?! I'm about to kill you! With a fast swipe of my dagger in an arc, the slime staggered backwards. I had to attack almost facing down to hit the damn thing since its almost like half a feet tall. Only when it jumps high eniugh that I get the chance to hit a bit higher. It took me about four to five attacks to kill the jumping mineral water out of the bottle.

Slime

50 exp

3 gold

Slimy wooden dagger

A small notification appeared before me to inform me the exp, gold and the items that I gained. I was a little disappointed with the last one. What the hell's wrong with the developer? Slimy wooden dagger? Seriously? But hey, the wooden dagger gives 5 physical damage while the slimy one gives 6. Might as well use this shit.

I opened the Menu and looked at my character screen to see what changed. I noticed that my One-Handed Wielding got a bit exp also, my Evasiveness. In D.W.P, almost everything in the player status screen is called Talent. These talents are used to learn skills which would greatly help the player later on. Also, I took notice of my stats which is obviously pretty low since I'm still a newbie.

Character Level : 1

Primary Status:

HP - 100/100

Mana - 100/100

Energy - 100%

Character Stats:

STR - 10

DEX - 10

VIT - 10

INT - 10

WIS - 10

Talents:

One-Handed Wielding LVL 1

Two-Handed Wielding LVL 1

Armor LVL 1

Magical Offensive LVL 1

Magical Defensive LVL 1

Magical Utility LVL 1

Evasiveness LVL 1

Utility LVL 1

I guess every point in VIT is x10 for hp and some number of points with energy. Though, the energy seems to be in percentage format. Also, VIT and WIS gives physical defense, HP for VIT and magical defense, mana for WIS. DEX would be the hidden stat on how fast I can move and attack in this world. As for STR, every point of it and INT means .5 physical damage for STR and .5 magical damage for INT (As the game said. But those damages are hidden from players to lessen a lot of boasting since nothing can be achieved from it only lots of trouble.) Anyway, no one really cares on how these stats work. A little to few but hey, stats won't really much matter in a VRMMOrpg since a game like his requires your way of movement and the way you bring your character to its potential.

The game said that it would be hard enough to level the talents that's why a constant use of them would mean a great deal for a player's progression. Almost all the talents are self-explanatory except for the Utility for it means the way you can communicate and deal with NPC's. That skill is important for merchant wanna be's and also, that talent contains brewing of potions, stat enhancing for items and crafting. For solo players, that talent is like a gift from heaven that should be treasured.

It took me only minutes before I got myself into level two. This game gives 3 points to each stat whenever a player levels up. This gives players a huge advance in playing the game.

I think it would be a good time to go back now because the light is already failing. I have earned quite some gold that may allow mw to stay in an inn. Since every hour in the real world means a year here, I have lots of time to spare. Familiarizing myself with the game would be my top priority now.

Setting myself in a slight fast pace, I reached the castle a bit faster than I intended to and entered the first inn that I saw. A large wooden board outside says that this inn is called The Bartender. Upon entering, I saw a lot of players drinking ale and other sort of beverages. Though, most of them are alcoholic, I don't think it would affect the player beyond the reach of this game in the real world. Before I reached the counter, I noticed a lot of players dancing, singing and shouting at each other. Most of them were in joy of telling stories on how their days in this game had been.

Finally, I reached the counter and settled myself on a high hair. "What can I do for you, lad?" Said the lady on the other sude of the counter. She was holding a wooden cup while drying it with a white towel. She was holding it a on her chest level that made me notice her chest which were a bit revealing. A prentended cough caught my attention again, "What can I do for you, lad? These twins would melt if you keep staring at them." She said again with a smile.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was a bit preoccupied." I replied

"With my breasts?" She quickly replied having a teasing tone in her voice and a smirk on her face.

I think I blushed a little then I thought, could I really blush here? But then, it was like she knew what I was thinking.

"Hey! You can blush here! I know, mine are a bit.. well, attention seeking but I can't do anything 'bout them now, can I?" She said with a little chuckle.

With all my embarrassment, I nodded. A slight chuckle escaped from her again and said, "Can I offer you a drink? And yes, I'm not an NPC."

I was astonished. Though, I never asked if she was, she already admitted it. Well, I confirmed that she doesn't have a mind reading skill or something. That's good enough for me. "Can I have a.. uh.."

I didn't know what to buy because it was my first time. Thankfully, she was accommodating and offered me a large pint of honeybeer. "That's two gold for ya, cute lad."

I slowly opened my inventory through my mind and summoned the two pieces of gold to pay her.

"Can I ask your name?" I politely asked while taking a sip from the pint. The honey beer was a bit bitter but the sweetness conquered its ugly flavor. And though, I can see her name appearing on top of her head since the game allows tyou to see it if you focus enough, it has became a habit, and I'm sure not only for me but for the others as well, to ask someone's name when you first meet them.

She smiled at me and retired from the other side of the counter to and sat beside me on a high chair. She slowly came close with her lips near my left ear and whispered, "My name's Alice. That's in real life. Named myself Tia in game." As her sweet voice finished telling me her name, she asked mine.

I got a little flirty that I mimicked her way of answering, I whispered in her ear. "My name's Zacharius in real life. I got Tobi with this game." I slowly parted myself from that awkward position and as my face almost got far from her, she winked at me and gave me a quick kiss on my left cheek and started to serve her customers.

I was startled with her action but I felt like I was flying on cloud nine. I took another sip from my beer and noticed the wooden board sign identical with the sign outside the shop but small letters were engraved on this one. It says that Tia owns this inn. I realized that I just flirted with a girl gamer who owns an inn in-game.
