The Tutorial has finally ended after what feels like forever but according to my clock display it was only 2 hours and 16 minutes. If I thought about everything that happened in there I would probably start suffering from PTSD as it is I still feel quite wobbly even after blocking most of it if not all of it out. Just thinking about what happened causes shivers to uncontrollably run up and down my back.

  I have chosen the city of Privada for my origination point and as I fade into existance there are a few notification windows popping into view.

As 1 of the first 10 outsiders to complete the tutorial you will receive 1 stat point in Int. and a random race skill.

  "What? Does that mean I could have left before it finished? Damn, I wish I had known that." I swipe the window out of the way, hide all notifications until I can get somewhere more private, and look up. A young woman who was greeting an outsider that was about 20 feet to my right turned towards me.

  "Hello! Welcome to Priv....ayyaaahh! M-M-MONSTER!" Her scream brings attention to us or more precisely me and others start screaming themselves. 

  As more and more people start screaming about monsters and abominations, I look around in panic trying to find the monster so that I can run away from it rather than towards it.  Then several individuals with weapons congregate on us and as they near me and raise their weapons I realize the monster their yelling about means me. 

  "Hey, Wait, Stop, I'm Not A Mons..."

  "Die you Monster scum" is how I get interupted while being stabbed with swords, daggers, and arrows from multiple directions at once.

  And as I die 'OOWWW' is all I was screaming in my head.

  The pain fades and I sigh "Ah, I died huh." I sit up in the bed of my Personal Home. A Personal Home is the room that you create first upon entering a virtual reality capsule. It can link you to different V.R. Games as well as V.R. Chat Rooms. "Darn'it I didn't get to play at all today." I sit on the side of the bed and look at my links on the wall. There are a few greyed out signalizing that I was unable to access them currently either because they were full or have a cooldown between playing times. Since I had been planning to play most of the day and still had six hours before dinner I decided to look through the games I can still play. As I browse I notice that Eadenara was still available for play.

  "Hmm, that's odd there's supposed to be an eight hour cooldown if you die to keep from developing URMSD." With the creation of the Virtual Reality Matrix came the existence of  Unknown Reality Mental Stress Disorder; a disease caused by being unable to tell reality and virtual reality apart. Within two to three months of the wide spread use of the Virtual Reality Matrix there was a drastic rise of accidental suicides that caused world wide legislation to be created governing the ethical use and running of the Virtual Reality Matrix. This included everything from how long you could be logged in for, to what you could do in it. 

  Smiling I lay back down on the bed and with my hands behind my head, "Eadenara Login". As I fade back into the game I sing "Guess there was a ~glitch~"

___

  Once the login was complete and I had reentered the city of Privada at the same place as last time the first thing I noticed was that it was a lot queiter. When I looked around I could see that the area was practically deserted except for a few soldiers. One of them saw me and pulled out his sword. As he made his way to me I threw my hands in the air and shouted, "Don't hurt me please! I'm not a monster!" 

  As if in confusion he slowed down and furrowed his brow, "Don't move," He growled while holding his sword in a way to easily cut me down. 

  Between his actions and my yelling we garnered the attention of all the soldiers in the square. They made their way to us and the one who seemed to be in charge asked, "Private Mokes what is going on here?"

  "Sir, she says she's not a monster, Sir."

  He gazed at me for a few seconds before turning to another soldier this one about 20 years old with brown furry ears on his head, then said, "Cuff her, we'll take her back to the garrison and figure this out there. At least then we can call off the curfew since she matches the description of the monster reportedly in the town square an hour ago."

  "Um, I'm a man." bringing his attention back to me.

  "You have breasts" matter of factly.

  "Wha...?" I look down and yep I have boobs they're small but they exist. I pale and grab between my legs and relax in relief. "At least that's still there. Thank God!" I exclaim.
