I opened my eyes.

The first thing I noticed was a wooden roof that did not seem very resistant, even though it seemed like it was newly built.

I slowly turned my head to the left and repeated the same movement to the other side.

I was watching attentively the room where I was. It was a small room with a bed, a table and a few weapons hanging on the wall.

After seeing the place where I was, I got out of the bed and looked at my hands. I slowly turned them and watched them for a while, then I touched my face. It was the same face as always or at least it felt the same.

At least three minutes passed in the same situation; I saw my hands, watched the room, and just remained silent as I thought about all sort of things.

Then, I remembered where I was and why I was there.

When I was fully awake, the bracelet on my left arm started to make a somewhat irritating noise.

Just when I raised my hand to see what was going on, the sound disappeared and instead a hologram projected out of the bracelet.

 The drawing of a pretty cute maid appeared and started to talk.

"Good morning onii-chan! I hope you are doing well."

"I have my own Maid!" I thought very happily.

"I am the GOTG AI and I will guide you through this Beta."

I guess this was the tutorial which we had been told before entering the game.

"The first thing I’ll teach you is that the bracelet on your right arm, you can use it above your ear. That's going to make everything easier. To do it, you must take it off, stretch it and put it on your ear so that the small projector that it has stares straight ahead."

As my personal maid told me (That sounds really good!), I removed the bracelet and put it over my ear so that the projector stared forward. It automatically grabbed my ear.

When I finished doing this, the projector turned on and Maid-chan appeared but this time she was showing the whole body. She was not only cute but also had a good body and a cute voice. Only anime can do something like this.

 "Very good onii-chan! Now I'll explain how to play. Everything in the game looks and feels real, so all you have to do is walk and act like you normally would. It's the same when it comes to fight. It is also important to know that, in order to not affect your brain in any way, your body is the same here than in your real life and also your physical condition."

At first I thought it was very bad because my physical condition was not the best but the truth is that it was better this way. It would be very strange if it were otherwise.

"We're almost ready. Before leaving, you should equip. Please take that ring on the table and put it on. It is an object that will only be given to the Beta-testers and that we will never give away more. Make sure you take care of it okay?"

The ring had a great design; it was gold and had the word “Beta” engraved on it. I immediately put it on and I kept listening to Maid-chan.

"Finally you must choose a weapon. Those weapons that are hanging on the wall in your right are the ones available. Please choose one."

"I guess this is where I choose my character class. Let's see what we have."

After saying those words, I turned to the wall above mentioned by Maid-chan and looked at the weapons available.

"Now, there is a sword, an ax, two knives and a hammer. Why there isn’t a magician staff?"

At that time Maid-chan appeared and told me that magic was a skill that was learned later. To be a magician, you had to learn another craft before.

"Really? That’s bad, I always choose the sorcerer as my class in the RPGs, but it seems that it won't be possible this time. I guess I should go for something familiar and choose the sword. That will give me an advantage because I practice kendo and I’m really good at it.”

Once I decided to choose the sword, I moved my right arm and grabbed it.

The sword had a considerable weight and average about 90 centimeters from the handle to the tip. It was perfect.

"Very good onii-chan, you are now ready. I wish you luck in this adventure and remember to not die. If you need me again just press the button on the device above your ear and you will open the game menu. Goodbye!"

"Well, the tutorial is done. I can finally enjoy the game! " I exclaimed.

With a slow and nervous step, I went to the only door within the room.

Again my legs were shaking and my heart was pounding as hard as it could. Wasn’t this a game? Why does it feel so real?

Leaving aside my questions, I moved my arm and opened the door...

A breeze of wind attacked my face very gently. In fact it was more like a hug.

After recovering from the impact generated in me by the breeze, I took a deep breath.

The air felt different, it felt pure. I'm not sure how the countryside air feels but it cannot be better than this.

As I breathed I could feel how my lungs accustomed to the smoke of the city went slowly purifying. It was a very relaxing feeling.

I heard nothing but the sound of birds singing one after another. All in chorus sang a beautiful melody. This beautiful song was added to the fresh air and the weak morning sun to create a wonderful mood.

In this world it was just dawning and I felt extremely fortunate to witness this spectacle.

Very excited I decided to start moving and what I saw thereafter was impressive.

Leaving the small room my eyes could see a floating island not too far away.

"This is just what I wanted to see, this is why I came here. I've always wanted to live in a fantasy world and now I'm doing it. I don’t mind if it’s a virtual world, this is the best."

While thinking about all these things suddenly, the sound of enormous wings moving was heard. My head whirled up and saw a huge crimson dragon coming towards the floating island.

"God, it's enormous! I had never seen such a big animal! Great, great, great! This is amazing!"

This imposing figure that stopped flying when he reached the island started to sleep. The dragon looked so peaceful that it almost seemed like he could not kill me.

After admiring the big creature I decided to follow my course.

I was in the middle of a forest that seemed to have no end. It was a beautiful pine tree forest.

Among the trees, there was a stone path which I decided to follow.

It was very quiet; I could feel the peace and calm. I was amazed with everything this world had to offer. But I did not come here just for this.

As if my words were heard by a deity or something like that, a monster appeared in front of me.

It was a very strange yet familiar animal. It was like a pig or a boar not bigger than a German shepherd but it had two horns and three eyes, two on the sides and one in the center of his head.

After seeing the strange look of this animal I knew what his intentions were. I drew my sword and prepared to attack.

The monster without thinking it much came running straight to attack me. Reflexively I moved to the side to avoid it.

The monster continued straight and when noticed that he didn’t beat me, stopped and turned.

As a repeat of the previous attack, he came to me with the intention of beating. I dodged again without much effort.

"I don’t know how to attack it!" I exclaimed.

I kept doing the same at least 3 times until finally thought about how I could defeat him.

The fourth time, the monster came to me with the same intention.

Just as he was about to hit me, I made a small jump to the left and moved my sword like a baseball bat hitting a ball that came from below. The sword easily pierced the monster's body and broke it in half.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

"Oh my God, did I really just cut that monster in half? Yuck!" Despite being just a game the monster's body chopped up in half was just too graphic. It looked exactly like real life.

"Yuck, Disgusting. This doesn’t seem like a game for everyone."

After overcoming my disgust, I remembered to loot the monster for any reward.

I put my hand inside the body to find something that would be worthwhile. I quickly found a small light green stone with a hexagonal form that was near the head.

This must be the object of the monster. It can probably be sold or something.

After looting the monster I went to wash my hands to the river that was near.

"Yuck" I repeated several times.

"I cut a monster in half and had to put my hand inside the monster’s corpse to find the stone. What a disgusting feeling."

I didn’t vomit because I remembered that it was all a game and someone had programmed all of this to make it look and feel like this.

Despite everything, the satisfaction that killing the monster gave me was amazing.

I let out a small laugh as I washed the stone in the river.

"Haha... It felt great."

Not content with that monster, I wanted to go get more. The sensation of killing a living being when I could have never killed a fly was quite pleasant.

Finally the second came and of course everything was faster as I already knew how to beat him.

One after another they kept falling.

"Hahaha, this is great!"

I killed one, and looted. I killed another one and looted. Again and again this process was repeated without stopping.

After dozens of identical monsters, something quite different appeared and caught my attention.

It was like a small dinosaur roughly meter and a half who had a light green color.

His yellow eyes saw me deeply.

There was a rather long silence until he decided to walk slowly towards me.

"Prioritize your life above everything else." Those words echoed in my head as the creature approached.

I immediately pressed the menu button and maid-chan appeared again.

"What do you need onii-chan?"

"Please show me the level of that monster."

"Of course! Wait a second."

It took two seconds for maid-chan to show me the level of the creature.

A menu appeared and it showed the monster data.

The strange thing is that it didn’t say the name, nor had a description of him. The only thing that showed me was the level which was four.

After getting the information I needed, I checked the level I was.

 Level three. The menu said level three and it was about to change to four.

"Did I really level up so fast? It must have been because of all the monsters I killed. "

I compared levels and thought it was just a level of difference; I also killed the others very easily.

"I'll try it" I said.

The monster that had already got close to me suddenly attacked.

Luckily I was alert and could dodge quickly.

He was a little disoriented. Taking advantage of the situation I attacked him with all my strength.

The sound of the metal of the sword bouncing off after hitting the hard scales of the beast was heard throughout the forest.

"Ah!"

Apparently he didn't like it much and very quickly moved his tail to hit me. I could not avoid the strike and it left me lying on the floor. To make matters worse I dropped my sword and was completely helpless.

I began to tremble with fear, it was too real. At last I was experiencing what was on the verge of death.

"If you die your brain may get confused and cause some sort of trauma. Do not die."

Again the woman's words echoed in my head.

"I can’t die" I said with a serious tone worthy of a movie.

"I will not die!"

I quickly ran to where my sword was. I ran with all my strength, with my last breath. My body could not stand the fatigue and was about to faint but still I put all my strength in that run.

With all my effort I threw myself to where the sword was and at that moment I felt like the tail of the beast hit me in the back.

I fell on the cold floor.

When I was going to lift I felt like the weight of the creature lay on my stomach.

The air was going out and I could not breathe.

I moved my head to the right and saw the sword close to my hand.

I stretched out with all the strength but couldn’t reach it.

The monster's head was ready to eat me. He started to open his mouth and I felt his breath and saliva falling onto my face.

I didn’t give up and kept trying to reach my weapon.

"C’mon, just a little more..."

When the monster nodded down to eat me, I reached my sword and cut his long neck.

The head fell on me and the neck began to expel a lot of blood.

I removed the body from above and could finally breathe.

"Ah..." I sighed.

"That was very intense."

I took my moment to calm down.

After a while I was relaxed again and decided to loot the monster.

It was a different stone. It was blue and had no regular shape. It was like an elongated piece of something.

I put it in my bag and went to the river to wash.

When I got to the river I saw my face and got a rather unpleasant image. I was covered in blood from head to toe.

As there was no one there, I took my clothes and started to bathe. There was blood everywhere and the clothes seemed ruined.

After washing well, I dried them and began to put them back while thinking on what to do now.

I still had a few hours until the end of the Beta and didn’t know what to do.

While I worried about everything I heard a female voice singing.

"Hm hm hm hm."

It was so delicate and so smooth. I had never heard anything like it.

"Hm hm hm hm." She kept singing.

I went to where it seemed that the voice came from.

I continued down the river and not too long after I met a woman who was bathing. It was an elf with short ears; she had a beautiful light blonde hair and a perfect figure. As she was looking to the other side, I couldn´t see her eyes at that moment.

I was mesmerized by the singing while watching that beautiful silhouette when suddenly I stepped on some leaves that were on the floor.

She saw me and was frightened.

I tried to apologize but she didn’t listen. She grabbed her things and ran away.

I felt so sad for not being able to continue listening to her singing but also was happy that I managed to see those beautiful green eyes.

"I must apologize to her," I thought.

When I said that in my ear the device was activated and Maid-chan appeared.

"New quest: Apologize to the elf"

In the menu said the description of the quest..

"That elf was scared to see you but if you apologize to her she will probably help you in some way."

"Wow finally the first quest appeared. Well then, let’s not waste any more time and go!"
