Yeon-Woo glare at the capsule that sat in front of her. It was only a week since her father left her capsule before abandoning her. Yeon-Woo came home, tired from work as usual when she saw the huge capsule in the living room. It looked so out of place in their small two bedroom apartment where the paint was peeling off and the floors creaked frequently. She jaw almost dropped to the floor as she was ready to strangle her father. She ran to his room with the floor shrieking with her every step. When she reached the room, her father was nowhere to be seen. Instead there laid a laptop, a credit card, and a slip of paper. Yeon-woo angrily picked up the paper reading it.
To my lovely and beautiful daughter Han Yeon-Woo, if you ever wish to see me again then please become empress of Royal Road. You do not have to worry anymore about working to support the two of us, and I have already spoke with all your bosses. No one in this area will be hiring you as a worker anymore, so work hard to play and become empress! You don't have to worry about living expenses as I have taken care of all of that. Love, you father.
She immediately crumpled the card before throwing to the ground. Yeon-Woo had a feeling that her father was too happy these days, but she didn't expect him to do this. She left school at the age of twelve to support her lazy father and herself. She had to learn how to cook, and sew for she didn't have the luxury of eating out or buying new clothes. Her father has also taught her martial arts, for he used to be a famous martial arts fighter before he went broke. If only his brain was as big as his muscles he wouldn't be this stupid! Yeon-Woo thought as she picked up the credit card. She went out to spoil herself with food that she hadn't had in the last four years since she drop out of middle school. She did this for a week before another slip of paper laid on her bed.
START PLAYING THE GAME OR I WILL TAKE YOUR LIVING EXPENSES AWAY! I WILL ALSO NEVER EVER MEET YOU AGAIN AND YOU WILL NEVER BE HIRED AT ANY JOB, EVEEEEEERRR!!! P.S Keep your character the same gender and appearance as how you look my lovely daughter! Love, your father.
She sighed as the card slipped out of her fingers and landed on the floor. She was fine with never seeing that stupid and annoying father again, but she didn't want to starve to death. Yeon-Woo started to research about this popular game. She learned that the game has already been out for a year and half now. Royal Road has its sensory was made so you would feel everything as realistically as possible. Yeon-Woo also learned that if you were good in combat in real life, then you would be better in the game also. It also applied to other things you were good at. Yeon-Woo didn't research much as she didn't really give a won about all this. She just returned back to the capsule. She sighs before entering the capsule.

A feminine voice says. Yeon-Woo scans her surrounding and she sees no one. Since Yeon-Woo has never played a game before she didn’t know how they worked. She just stood there for a moment staring at the yes or no before her eyes.
“Yes…” She says after a while.

Select a city and kingdom you want to start...
“Random!” she blurt out loudly.
King of Random selected, your starting point will be in the capital, Joyous.
“Huh?!” Yeon-Woo exclaim. She only said random because she didn’t know of any city or kingdom since she didn’t research on that. Yeon-Woo didn't expect that there would actually be a kingdom name random.

"Wait, what's an NPC?!" She said hurriedly as light began to illuminate around her body.
An NPC is creature, being, or person who is not a user and has artificial intelligence.
The feminine voice finishes as the light fully gulps down Yeon-Woo. Hanwoo stood in the center of the town with a surprised look on her face. The users around her didn't pay much attention. There was constantly new users spawning in Joyous after it was discovered. This was due to the beautiful and luxurious city. Hanwoo stares at her hands before looking around and examining her area. There wasn't much other than beautiful buildings and a huge water fountain behind her. Hanwoo walk to the Training Hall as she saw a scarecrow and a bunch of wooden swords next to it.
"Welcome!" the Trainer said.
"Hello." Hanwoo says.
"I can see that you are new here. Anyways welcome to the Training Hall. Here you can use the wooden swords and practice any kind of fighting you want against a scarecrow. My name is Celo."
"Thank you Celo. Do you have any paper, tape, and pencil around that I could use for free?"
"Sure." Celo hands Hanwoo the items. Hanwoo grits her teeth as she sketches out her father's face. She has always been good with art since she loved to paint, draw, and play with clay before she dropped out of school. Hanwoo tapes the paper onto the face of the scarecrow. She picks up a wooden sword and with all her might she hits the scarecrow over and over again.
"SCREW YOU STUPID DUMBASS FATHER! YOU USELESS PIECE OF SHIT FATHER! YOU NOT BEING GRATEFUL FATHER! YOU FUCKER, YOU FUCKER, YOU FUCKER!!!" she yells with each strike. People outside the Training Hall goes in due to curiosity of her. Some of the new users shudder as they see her face full with a killing intent as she strikes the scarecrow. Some even felt bad for the scarecrow. Hanwoo didn't care about their stares as she was releasing five days full of fury out at the scarecrow.
New Skill: Fury Hits
Fury Hits Beginner Level 1. 0%
Yelling with fury as you hit something will increase the damage.
Hanwoo ignored the popup window as she continue to strike over and over again. She continued for about five hours that day gaining a point in strength, vitality, and stamina. People only watched her out of entertainment as she continue to yell while hitting the scarecrow which led her to also gaining a point in charisma. Hanwoo didn't really care as she was clueless to how games work, bit if others were in her situation they would consider themselves lucky for getting bonuses for being a new user.
