Adam's POV
'Ugh, what the hell... I knew the process would be rough but not this rough...'
Everything felt disoriented, I felt weak I looked around me and the room was spinning a little bit, I could see a small blue light in front of me but I couldn't focus.
'This body is weak...'
I closed my eyes and clenched my fists, I could feel the muscles move as I slowly got used to walking and doing small jumps. It took me a minute for my brain to stop screaming at me as I regained control.
I opened my eyes and realized that the blue light was a small notification in front of me.
Apollo's Favored bound to I.V.
Welcome to Multiverse!
Syncing your physical appearance... Creating avatar.... Avatar created... Compatability = 99%
Change Appearance? Might result in decrease compatibility.
Along with the various notification, there was another window that popped up with various options to manipulate your avatars. I quickly went to the cosmetic options and changed my hair color from white to black and eye color to black. Fiddling with my skin tone to make it a little darker I hit confirm upon noticing that there was no compatibility change.
The option to change your body structure was never used unless people wanted to push for that 100% compatibility. It was calculated that every time you enter the multiverse your senses would be connected to the avatar and the more different your body structure was, it would take a greater time for your brain to adjust.
'Well I guess Bow is my primary weapon now, but I'll use daggers anyway.'
Avatar Confirmed... Character created... Enter name...
[-]
I paused for a second before entering the name 'Grim' into the window. The window disappeared and another one popped in its place.
Brain Syncing complete... Enter Multiverse?
Yes/NO
"Phew" I sighed and controlled my emotion, a small voice echoed in the back of my mind and I smiled slightly, 'Let's go!'
I small white room around me cracked and collapsed and I found myself staring into a large medieval-looking fountain. Different voices bombarded me from around me, there were many people who were regaining consciousness around me, some already running around trying to get a leg up on the competition. I walked away from the main square and walked towards a shop that had a sign with two swords in front of a shield.
'You really could feel the moisture in the air...'
I could feel the dampness in the air as I pushed the door open and walked into the shop. There was a crowd of people already standing in front of the counter staring absent-mindedly at something.
[Welcome to Adrian's Blacksmithy]

As soon as I neared the counter the window automatically popped up. I clicked the weapons tab and only 4 weapons were displayed in front of me.
[Starter bow][common]
[A bow gifted to the adventurer's venturing for their first adventure in the Multiverse]
[ATK +1][Range +1][DUR =10/10] [Price- Null]

'...'
I quickly collected both the bow and daggers, every bow already has access to an infinite amount of arrows of the same quality, but if you wanted to use special arrows, you would need to buy and load them. I was more interested in the dagger, after carefully examining its weight and feel, I thought it wasn't that bad, it felt like a normal dagger that was decent for the initial period.
I walked out of the shop, and looked at the transparent barriers covering the main square and shops surrounding it into a bubble, the only thing that the village would provide right now were the weapons, the main village and all the quests will only be available after the 12 hour period was up.

'Wow... the difference between an epic and rare profession is miles apart.' I wonder what skills would I get, there are still 2 hours before the tutorial starts and I could draw the basic skills.
In Multiverse, everyone is given a fair start (at least that's the logo of 'Note'), but how far you'll go based on your luck and opportunities, the class selected at first will be the base class that would evolve along with you based on your actions. In the tutorial, every human aged 18 will be spawned on a planet in the multiverse. The planet is under a protection period and no other superpower can enter it before the year is up and then a new tutorial planet is spawned.
At the start, you'll be spawned in one of the thousands of tutorial islands, to gain access to one of the three main continents, you need to get a minimum level of 10.
'Let's get familiar with this body and till the time is up.'
As nobody could leave the village just yet almost everybody was going to the training ground, almost 1,000 people were gathered here and new people were coming, I went to a straw puppet in the corner and took out my dagger.
'Hmm, I'm a lot slower than in real life but I guess I can quickly increase my stats.'
I was also slowly observing the body of another guy beside me, I could see the muscle tensing in his arms, how he was twitching even before he realized where he would strike as I accurately guessed a horizontal slash.
'Hmm my combat effectiveness won't go down there at least, but I don't know how bulky armor would affect it. Fighting heavily armored enemies would be difficult...'
[Integration Started...Tutorial Activated...]
I looked as the barriers deactivated and vanished as more notifications bombarded me.
