Starting point in city is in front of a statue which symbolizes a knight on a horse. There seems to be no one around other than Sky. Sky keeps walking in the town looking around; there are a few wooden houses and a big stone building at sight which seems to have an emblem looking like a Libra horoscope.
The sensation in virtual reality makes Sky loose of himself for a while and idly keeps walking while looking around.
“Ohh wait, what is my class now? Stats? I guess I need to find out” while thinking to himself, he whispers in a low voice “Show Status”.

“What? 10hp? No class and 1 stats, what I am weakling? I wonder if everybody is like this. I need to find out quickly, I can’t live as a noob. I need to find starting quests and try my power on very first mobs”
He keeps walking on the stone road until he meets a guard.
“Hi sir, I am looking for quest”
“Hi young man, you can take simple quests from the billboard. Just follow the road before the bridge you will see a billboard on the left”
“Thanks sir” and continues walking. Tries checking inventory and finds out he has a Newbie dagger and a Newbie sword.
“I am really a newbie”
[/tr]
Newbie SwordType:SwordDurability:20 / 20Quality:PoorEffect:Damage 1-3Speed:0.8/secNewbie sword that is given at start, cannot be lost.
Feeling of the sword makes him so real, he waves it around. Hold it tight and tries to hit a few time to the air. He was never into martial arts nor ever tried any kind in real life, but in his vacant time he liked to punch the wall wrapping around his hand with bandage or thick cloth to relieve stress. All he knew about swordsmanship was kendo tournaments he watched on the TV few times.
Arrives on the billboard and takes very first quest.
[table]Kill BoingsBoings are eveywhere, eating our crops

Return farmer Hen [tr]Reward:100 exp
50 gold“Boing? Picture looks like Poring from Ragnarok Online, come on! Can’t you be more creative? Anyway this Boings should be so easy but I don’t have any skills or proficiency yet”
Sky passes the bridge next to billboard and arrives the vast field filled with colorful Boings.
Boing Lv1

He runs one of the blue ones, grasps his heavy sword with all of his power and hits the Boing.
Miss!
“Huh?”
Boing just jumps to left with a “boing” sound before his sword hits. He tries again with all of his power
Miss!
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
“How come this is just cute jumping monster”
He tries again and again and again with every direction horizontal and vertical but Boing just keeps jumping right and left and doesn’t take any damage from his sword. He gets angry and throws the sword to side and punches the Boing with all his might.
3 Damage
He doesn’t stops and hits 2 more times than Boing explodes and melts away leaving “core” behind.
Swordsmanship increased by %0.1
Wrestling increased by %10
Strenght increased by 1
“1 Strenght and wrestling? I think I am still far from understanding this game’s logic”
He grabs his sword and runs to another Boing, but still same thing happens. Miss! Miss! Miss until he decides to punch to kill the Boing again. He keeps killing until the quest is completed. From 10 Boing He collects 7 cores, 1 carrot and 5 gold. And he begins to walk back to the bridge to billboard where he can return the task.
On his way near the devastating tree he sees a cute rabbit.
“Ohh rabbit, I always like rabbits since childhood. I always wanted to pet one but never had opportunity”.
Crumples on his feet not to frighten the rabbit and crawls slowly pointing the carrot he got from the Boing.
“Come here little one, you look so cute, I won’t hurt you”
Rabbit takes a few steps near him, than runs away swiftly.
Taming Rabbit failed
Taming increased by %0.1
“What? Taming was proficiency or carrot was taming item? I should have taken that tutorial at start.”
“Too late to regret let’s go give the quest and try to learn a bit more from the NPC’s” talks to himself. 5 years of living alone taught him to be friend with himself. He calls it “Thinking Loudly” though some calls it “Madness”.
Returning to the board he realizes that he needs to find the farmer to return the quest and take the rewards from the farmer. So he asks farmer’s whereabouts to nearest guard which is waiting near the bridge.
“Hi sir, I am looking for farmer Hen”
“Hi adventurer, you can find Hen near the corn yard. Follow the road 400 meters ahead you will see stone house on near the field”
“What? But I just came from there”
“Run once again than, running can increase your dexterity”
“Dexterity? As in stats?”
“Yes ”
“What is Dexterity for?”
“Dexterity is one of the 3 main stats. Increases stamina, speed of a person with weapons, crafting chance for craftsmen’s, parry chance, accuracy and many more which you will experience in future”
“Can you tell me a bit about other stats as well?”
“This is all written in Beginners manual Chapter 1 Page 3, but I will briefly explain. Strength increases health, damage with weapons and weight limit. Intelligence increases mana and magical damage. There are also hidden effects which you should find out yourself.”
“May I ask another question sir?”
“Sure”
“Why I can’t hit mobs with my sword, what should I do?”
“This is all written in Beginners manual Chapter 2 Page 28 to 37. If your proficiency is not high enough with swordsmanship you cannot use swords easily. I recommend you to see Master Huxen in Knight’s Training Center within south of city. He can teach you basic swordsmanship”
“Thank you sir, But I have one last question”
“I am guarding in here, can’t reply all day to commoners, but ask just 1 last question”
Sky thinks inside because there are a lot of questions passing through his mind which he wants to ask but guard states that he can only ask one last question. “Should I ask about class, level or how to increase stats” and decides to ask about class.
“Thank you sir, I want to ask about class. When I check my status it says Class:None, how can I get one?”
“Young adventurer, this is all written in in Beginners manual Chapter 7 Page 217. Classes are chosen after you reach master level in one of main proficiencies” after replying the last question guard returns to his duty leaving Sky with lots of questions in his mind.
Leaving guarding post he finds the farmer Hen exactly at where guard described. He reports the completion of quest to farmer and further tries to communicate, but farmer tells he has lots of works to do and ignores the Sky returns to hoe the soil.
“What is wrong with this NPC’s in this game, why they are ignoring me?”
Sky gets angry and hits one of the Boings which is hopping around the yard.
Critical Hit!
7 Damage
Level up
"Wait what?"
