Before Nathen even realized it he was somewhere else entirely looking around he saw himself on a giant platform made out of a mix of what he could make was a shining black obsidian with rings of shaded glass in several colores mixing into numerous shapes he could barely comprehend forming many rounded shapes on the platform in between the many flashes of light which brought about more players now causing the platform to be more than a little crowded and quickly becoming swamped with many people busy and bustling about before he realized it he was getting bumped off the platform out of the way hearing a voice saying

“... ready noob!”

“How about you watch where you’re going?!” Nathan grunted back before turning around irritated at people trying to push his buttons today already.

He turned around and was met with a hairy chest he strained his neck upward to look at the person

He looked up to who had just shoved him and he could only be described as a sliver whitish skin man with an entire body covered in scars on one side of his face and a leather straps around various parts of his body with an array of hammers and clubs around his waist and stared the man in the eye not backing own from any challenge

“Watch it before you get squashed runt.” The man said while his arms were crossed with his biceps flexing

“You wanna bet?” Nathan began to ball his fist. “first rule of a fight: If you're going to hit make sure you hit first.”

Some began to stare as they could all tell something was going to soon happen but before it could

Nathen watched as one of the guy’s knees was kicked out from under him causing him to fall to the kneeling position and from behind a small lady around the age of ten began to pull at his ear almost trying to rip it off.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

“You stupid dummy!” In a huff, as she continued to tug at his ear. The big man was now sweating bullets and became a shell of his former self.

“What Do you mean by that misty?”

“First of with that stunt, you pulled in the Sand Dungeon and now this? You know full well one finger on him and you would be killed in less than a minute and then drop an even bigger load on the group”

“That isn't my fault how was I supposed to know that it was gonna blow its own home if I went for the loot first ?“

“Cause we told you! But you thought you knew better because you were one level higher than everyone else. now think about what you’ve done and be quiet for a second.”

Nathan was in a daze as if he was forgotten in this romantic comedy Actually stated to have a look at what was around him

He saw himself in the middle of a desert area with a small amount of plants around every so often in small patches of soil spread out far and few inbetween the massive amount of the large plains of sand covering the ground as so much went on around him people of all shapes and sizes and races were shopping chatting and living all around him. Before he could examine it all he felt a tap on his side and saw how the roles were filled as the girl was only 5 foot 3 had to now look up to him he backed up and talk to her before he could say anything though she decided to take the lead in the conversation

“Sorry for my friend just coming from a bad xp-burn and you know Grostrans always the temper. I’m Misty by the way what’s your name?”

She said with a smile and stuck out her hand which Nathen shook with some caution.

“Nice to meet you. Names Na…. Kimba Adisa Nathen was slightly shocked at what he said while Misty could only smile

“Don’t worry that happens think the GM did it on purpose and to help you be your character if you say your real name slow enough you can get by.”

Nathan calmed down a little.

“Thanks for the tip and sorry for all that earlier.”

“Don’t worry about it just happy old lumpy head didn’t kill you it would really set us back if he got red marked now.”

Kimba was slightly confused at what she was saying but took it as the common talk in the game.

Misty caught that second of confusion in his eyes and nodded as she pulled out a book from her back pocket somehow.

“Here as a gift take this start up guide haven’t needed it in a long time and might do you some good.”

She looked back over here shoulder and looked towards the now waiting group of people almost identical to the first man now currently watching them.

“Great you guys all squared now? Let’s go get our xp back ok guys!”

They all nodded and began to move out. Misty looked to Kimba and said,

“Good luck on the game hope to see you again Kimba.”

“Same here…”

And they faded into a storming sand cloud as Kimba began to read the start-up guide
