“The retina scan has determined that you are Jack Everworth an unregistered user.
Do you wish to create a new account?”
When Jack connected to Royal Road, the first sound that reached his ears seems like a feminine voice.
“yes!” Jack says in an excited tone
”Welcome to the new account creation Sir Jack, My name is Veronica, I will be guiding you throughout the entire process.”
Everyone associated with Unicorn Corp had their data stored in the main data base for security measures, not just retina but also fingerprints, and DNA, this was done cause many people wants Royal Road’s technology, and they willing to do anything to get it, gaming companies, governments, militaries, and underground organizations, they are willing to pay anything for anyone that can give them this technology, even the price in the black market has reach over $ 2,504,205,000
“Veronica, Are you an AI?” asked Jack in a confused tone
“Yes, I’m an A.I created to support Versailles” answered Veronica
“How can that be? I thought that Versailles was the only A.I that manages Royal Road” said by Jack in a shocked voice
Royal Road is a game that does everything by itself. Any and all actions that the players did were automatically coded into a reaction by Versailles. Versailles is the name of the main A.I of Royal Road as well as the name of the continent that the game takes place.(She was created by the creator of Royal Road to maintain and manage the game without the help of external sources such as GMs)
“Yes, you could say that I’m just a part of Versailles, just like a human whose organs help manage different parts of their body, Versailles also have couple of AIs as assistants to help manage different areas of the game, so basically we are one.”
“Select the name of your avatar.” Veronica says in her usual tone
“Chrono” says Jack after thinking for a couple of minutes
“Select your gender from male, female, or neutral.”
“Male”
“Royal Road has forty-nine races. You may select your race from the primary four.¬”
“Human” Jack says after considering that he doesn’t know what class to take yet
“You may alter your appearance.”
“The way I am!”
“Your account has been activated. Your stats and class shall be determined while you are playing Royal Road, and because of your status in Unicorn Corp. you have been granted with an additional of 30 stats points and one wish will be granted.”
“One wish...”
Bored, he begun to play Royal Road, his class is a special class going to school only once a week, so most of time Jack spends it reading books, practicing some martial arts to keep fit, and playing some games.
But a few months ago Jack finished reading all the books in his home, got tired in martial arts, and the games got boring, while searching for things to do he heard of Royal Road the very first VRMMORPG released in the world, remembering that he had some shares of the company that created Royal Road he called them and ordered for a Capsule and the Game.
“I wish to start somewhere secluded that have no other players for at least a month?” says Jack thinking he at least won’t be embarrassed if he does something weird if there is no other real people(players).
“hmm… there is a hidden village in the south and it’s not part of any kingdoms built after the great war in the past where all sorts creatures fought(Gods, Demons, Human, and all other races and creatures)” Veronica says after searching the database for a good location that fits his description
“Would you like to start in the hidden village of Argean?”
“Yes.”Jack says in serious tone
“A word of warning the hidden village is surrounded by powerful creatures it’s not an advisable place for a beginner to start off. Are you sure you like to start in the village of Argean”
“Yes I’m sure” Jack thought at least it will be challenging anyway I have 30 extra stat points
“You will be sent to your starting village, good luck and welcome to Royal Road”
*Flash*
With a flash of light, he appeared in the Village of Argean.
Ding!
You were the first to discover the Village of Argean.
Rewards:
Fame increased by 200.
For a week the rewards and experience for the village’s quests are doubled.
Chrono touched his body confirming that he can feel and control his entire body, doing some stretching, afterwards looks around his surrounding the ground is made of dirt instead of the bricks and cements in RL, in front of him is a water fountain and surrounding the it are a couple of wooden buildings with different signs and some that seems to be resident houses since they have no signs like those of a store.
Looking around again Chrono sees that his wish was granted because no one else appeared in a flash of light and he received a window saying that he is the discoverer of the village.
Checking his inventory, Chrono found 10 barley bread and a metal flask.
After filling the flask with water, Chrono begun to explore the village, when he decided to call out.

Making him go back exploring, when a drunk man sitting in the stairs of a building that seems to be a bar called out to him!
“Hey! Young lady it’s not good to wander around when it’s near dark.” Says the drunk man
“Sir I’m sorry to inform you but I’m a man.” Says Chrono as politely as he could (even thou he is angry to be mistaken as a girl, maybe I should have altered my appearance)
“Oh! Sorry for getting it wrong then young man, but your looks really seems that of a girl, hehehehe.” Says the drunk man
“I have a favor; I would like to ask you young man “can you get some goods I have ordered from the smithy?” Since I can’t seem to walk straight yet and I need the goods before midnight.

Walking past several wooden house he saw a building with a base of white stone and a wooden top layer with the sign of an open book in the top of the door(so this is the village’s library),so from here he headed left, looking at the direction towards the smithy he saw some smokes coming up in a line(seems like the blacksmith is doing some works now it’s easier to find), finding something that helps him locate the smithy he begun to walk towards the source of the smoke, and after a couple of minutes he finally arrived at the smithy.
In the smithy the people were quite busy doing some things they didn’t even notice Chrono approached them, when Chrono tried to talk to one of the blacksmith it seems he wasn’t even heard, so Chrono waited patiently for a couple of minutes, when one of the blacksmith finished and asked Chrono “What do you need?”
“Ah! I’m here for Cain’s Order.” Answered Chrono
“Cain’s Order, wait a bit lad.” The blacksmith says while heading to the back of the room
“Hmm it’s somewhere here, ‘where did I put it?’ “Muttered by the blacksmith

Inside Chrono saw many villagers gathering in tables waiting for their food, so he went to the counter and asks someone who seems to be working at the restaurant.
“Excuse me! Do you need any help?”
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
When the one that Chrono called look at him, the worker went inside the kitchen and went back out with a woman that looks like a cafeteria lady in an elementary school about 5’5” height neither too fat nor thin, a bit chubby with black hair and eyes wearing apron and holding a kitchen knife.
“Do you have any experience?” says the cafeteria lady
“None Ma’am but I’m a fast learner and a hard worker!” replied Chrono

“Here” says Chrono as he hands over CID’s letter
Quest Completed
Delivered Mr.CID’s letter
After handing over the letter Chrono went back to the smithy to get his reward(s) after some time he reached the smithy as he approached he noticed a heap of old and damaged equipments lying around next to CID as we walked nearer CID noticed him and says “Have you delivered my letter?” Chrono replied “yes I have delivered it to Marie” and CID asked him to get nearer and began teaching him the repair skill and thought him the identify skill as well.
After a few hours of repairing the equipments his repair skill reached beginner 2 (48%) and his identify skill reached beginner 3 (15%) by identifying the equipments he repaired as well as the equipments made by CID.
Repairing skills thought by CID was quite easy it uses mana to restore an object’s durability by touching the item and saying repair it costs 10 mana per use at first the durability restored is 5-10 per use and the maximum durability is reduced by 10%. The identify skill was the same it consumes 10 mana to identify and the higher it’s level the more info you can get from the item at beginner level 1 he was only able to get the object’s name and basic stats such as for weapon the durability and damage as well as ordinary options such as bonus stats and the usage requirements and for armors the durability and defense as well as ordinary options such as bonus stats and the usage requirements.
Having learned the skill he bid farewell to CID and decided to look at the library so went out of the smithy and headed towards the building with a base of white stone and a wooden top layer with the sign of an open book which he passed when he first went to the smithy.
Inside the female librarian looked at him as he entered, noticing the librarian Chrono walked towards her and asked “Can I read some books here?” after some time of silence the librarian said “ you can if you have a library card if not you will have to get one.” Then Chrono asked “Where can I get this library card?” to which the librarian replied “you can either pay 5 silver or do a quest for the library” as he heard this he reached for his bag and took out 5 silver handing it to the librarian, the librarian receiving the money opened a drawer below the counter and took a blue card and handed it over to Chrono.
http%3a%2f%2fimageshack.com%2fa%2fimg707%2f7397%2frlw0.jpg [http://imageshack.com/a/img707/7397/rlw0.jpg]
Chrono receiving the card put it in his bag and asked the librarian “where can I find books about magic and the history of this place?” to which the librarian showed a slight smile and said “in back of the reading area leftmost you can find the magic related books as for the history books I will have to bring it over from the restricted room so you will have to wait for some time before you can read the history books.
After which he headed to the back of the shelves and the leftmost shelf he found many books.
Here are a few of the titles:
* [Mana and its properties]
[Magic for Dummies]
[Fire Elements and its properties]
[Water Elements and its properties]
[Wind Elements and its properties]
[Earth Elements and its properties]
[Holy Elements and its properties]
[Dark Elements and its properties]
[Ancient Alchemy and Magic]
[Alchemy and its great Goals]
[Magic Alchemy]
[Transmutations]
[Life and Magic]
[Souls and Alchemy]
He took most of the books and placed it in an empty table after putting all the book he sat down and begun reading, he was quite a fast reader because of his ability he only glanced at a page and memorized it taking about 20 seconds a page to understand it he managed to read 14 books in 5 hours he got quite interested in alchemy after reading about its goals which can be a possibility and it’s many uses he was so busy reading that he ignored the messages appeared every once in awhile, which stated he gained Mana Manipulation Mastery and a couple of stat increases. When he finished reading he noticed the librarian walking towards him with books that floated above her hand when the librarian reached him the librarian put down 8 big books in the empty space of the table it took a third of tables space after placing it down the librarian looked at Chrono and said “This are the History Books of this village.” “Is there anything else you need?”Asked the librarian before heading back to her Counter
“None at the moment I will ask if there are any, thanks for bringing the history books”
“No problem” replied the librarian heading back to the counter
The librarian was quite happy to see someone interested at books since the village people seldom come to the library.
Chrono was only able to finish the first volume of the history books since it was quite big and thick. The first volume consisted of 1024 pages and 2x3 feet size it contained the legends of the village, biography of the first settlers, descriptions of the surrounding when they first settled in the area, and their daily battle and hardship with the surrounding monsters that made the villagers quite strong.
After Chrono left since the library is closing for the day he headed to the inn rented a room for 20 copper and inside he began reading the notices that piled up during the day.

Every time he got hungry he ate at Marie’s restaurant since for 3 days he gets free food.
For 2 weeks Chrono continued reading books at the library eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Marie’s even after the 3 days free so instead at night he helps out at Marie’s increasing his Cooking Skill to beginner 4 (23%), reading books at the library in the Morning until night, he gained quite a few increase in Wisdom and Intelligence finishing the basic education he gained 100 Mana, 20 Fame. Even after finishing the Basic Education he continued reading the books he haven’t read yet gaining a few more increase in Wisdom and Intelligence but it’s slower now unless he read a rare or practical book that is new to his knowledge.

The librarian was quite amazed at Chrono for finishing the Basic Education in 1 week and completely reading all the Books in the public section of the library in the 2nd week. In which the librarian went toward Chrono and gave him a small book saying “Since you seem to be interested in Alchemy this here book was a Diary of an ancient Alchemist who lived before in the Village donated this to the library before he died, It’s written in an ancient language. If you want to be an alchemist go outside of the village in a tower in the outskirt lives an Alchemist named Lezard he might be willing to teach you”
“Thanks I will treasure this book and I will search for the alchemist once I’m allowed outside the village” replied Chrono
“If you are going outside the village I suggest you train first in the training hall the monsters outside the village is 3 times stronger than other places” says the librarian as she waved her hand to Chrono
Following the librarian’s advice he search and went to the training hall, as he arrived to the empty training hall with many lines of scarecrows the instructor watched him as he approached the instructor. The instructor asked him “What are you here for?” to which Chrono replied “I’m here to train to be able to defend myself outside the village” with his reply the instructor smiled and welcomed him.

Can anyone add in lines to make it better or some corrections
It seems I'm not really good at putting lines together to show emotions or such
