- welcome to New World would you like to create a character?
- hello nice disembody lady i would like to create a new character.
- excellent please pick a race from Human, Dwarf, Elf, or Beast man.
- human please
- of course and might i add that you are very polite. Now would you like to be a male a female or a hermaphrodite?
- um female please. why is that last one even an option.
- because the makers are somewhat eccentric. would you like to change your look?
-show me what i look like right now
- certainly
In front of me a second me pops up, short brown hair slightly childish face with a scar on my left check and one running down my right eye from an old mining accident. I stand at about 180 CM a muscular body that doesn't fit my childish face. i also note that my left had is missing my pinkie guess prosthetic aren't scanned into the game. I made some quick changes to my hair and eyes. i now have light sea green hair and red eyes. While i could spend hours more changing my body into my perfect self i decide to leave it at that.
- Please select a name for your avatar
-...Warock
- Warock accepted, please select a starting location
A map popped up in front of me showing over 300 locations to start at.
- show locations with out players.
When i asked this was the only location left. A small village called Bramble on a large island north of the main continent. i guess that will be as good a starting location as any if i have no competition for hunting grounds and every thing should be fairly cheap since no one but npc will be buying.
- i guess i'l start in Bramble
- of course, now for my final question, what difficulty would you like to play New World in
- what do you mean isn't this an mmo shouldn't there only be one difficulty?
- while every one can play together the makers of NW have decided that there would be customization for difficulties. The harder you make your game the better the rewards. you can custimize your exp gain
pain limit and how much health an enemy will have when fighting solo.
Growing up in slums taught me one thing The harder you work the better off you will end up but at the same time working too hard will backfire completely. guess i should ask what the standard level is.
- so what is the default setting for the game?
-the pain limit is set at 20% of real life for exp and health you can just consider them 100 as a base to change.
- alright what benefits would i get for 50% pain, 200 exp, and 200 health?
-from each level up you would gain 20 stats total 10 base, 5 for exp, and 5 for health. By increasing the pain limit to 50% you will gain a starting health boost of 50 points as well as a higher regeneration rate.
- alright lets go with that then
- of course, with this your journey into the New World is about to begin, have fun.
With the last words from the voice my vision start to fade to black and i fall asleep. When i wake the first thing i note was a slight rocking side to side as i lay down on what feels like wood. Opening my eyes i am greeted by a pale blue sky. What i notice next is the cold its almost as cold as New Alaska in the worst winters. I try to get up but am weighed down by a pile of blankets and furs covering me. when i try and move my arms to take them off i finally notice my hands are bound as well as my legs. Well this is one way to start a game, not the one i would have picked but certainly one way to start. Looking around i see a giant man who looks like hes straight out of a viking legend sitting on the bench of what i'm guessing is a wagon that i'm in. I rise up as best i can and slap my self back down trying to wake him up, but by the time i do my back and ass feel like they are on fire and i gained +1 in strength and endurance. its quite funny seeing a a grizzled man jump awake screaming curses.
- Fuck what is all that damn racket!
- That would be me, ya know the one you have tied up. Why the hell am i tied up anyways what the hell did i do?!
- Huh oh, see your awake finally was just thinking to toss your body over seeing as you didn't wake for so long. As for why your tied up, Its only natural to tie up a spy found stumble about siege lines.
- spy what the fuck are you talking about and what siege line?
- don't act like you don't know, who else but a frostmane spy would try and make it past our lines. Though you're not a very good one stumbling right into our camp.
- Like i said what fucking lines. All i know is i woke up and had to break my fucking back just to get your ass up.
- Uh-huh i'm sure Sven would love to hear all about how you are wrongly accused of spying.
- That what i'm saying i'm not a damn spy.
- Keep telling your self that you can plead your innocence when we reach Bramble. For now shut the hell up
As he said that he brought his boot into my temple over and over until i was half dead and blacked out. When i woke up i traded in my ropes for Stocks. I'm bent over with my head and arms locked in place.
Looking as best i could it seems like i'm in the center of a village. Now that i'm awake i can see children running over with sticks and fruit, doesn't take a genius to figure out what they are going to do with them. After getting pelted with sticks and fruit for awhile the man from the wagon shoos the kids away and grabs my head and pulls it up to look at him. I look at him, as he smirks at my condition and i once again conclude that this is not the start i would have picked out. Shaking me back to partial life the man says.
- bad new for you lass, Sven wont be back for a day. Try not to freeze to death before he can question you.
- you cant just leave me here asshole!
- i can and i will, why should i treat a spy kindly.
- for the last time i am not a spy! Though i guess a retarded monkey like you cant figure that out!
That last remark earned me yet another boot to my head and what felt like a broken nose. Afterwords they left me alone with myself except for the occasional fruit thrown at my head. I guess a fruit to the face is better then what they could be doing to my other side seeing as i haven't seen a single woman in this whole village. As night falls the temperature plunges and i gain a cold debuff. I spend the whole night locked up in a village square. Worse still it started snowing and after a while i stopped trying to knock it off of my back and just let my self get buried. I don't know if i fell asleep or passed out but i woke when two guards came and dragged me away towards a great hall. they opened the door and threw me in front of a man on a throne who i'm guessing is named Sven. lying on the ground and cant even stand from how weak and cold i am. It doesn't seem like he will start talking till i'm up. after a few minutes i final stop shaking enough to push my self into a standing position. My back is so stiff that i almost doubled over from the pain of stretching it out. after a pain full couple of minutes i look at Sven and wait for him to talk.
- so spy whats your name
- i'm not i spy
- what is your name spy
- God damn it i'm not a spy!
- until i say your not a spy you are a spy, now what is your name!
- Oh for fucks sake fine my name is Warock
- now Warock care to tell me what you were doing seeking across the siege lines?
- for the last time What siege line are you talking about the first thing i remember is waking up and then getting a god damn boot to the face!
- so you say, but why should i trust anything you say?
- I don't know you're probable going to give me a suicidal mission to prove that i can be trusted, but what you really want is for me to die on it.
- HAHAHA... that's correct i'm glad i don't have to explain it to you. now i'm sure you notice that there are no women in my village.
- Let me guess they were captured and you want me to go free them
- Right again! half a days march from here is a old fort occupied by a group of slavers we would go our self but with the frostmanes at our borders we cant spare the men.
quest: stop the slavers!Sven has asked you to save the women of Bramble from the slavers doing so will free you from captivity and allow you to stay in town
Rewards: based on results
Failure: you or all women die
- fine i'l do it but what do you want me to fight with my bare hands? sorry to tell you but i don't think that will cut it.
- you will get an ax
- an ax, one fucking ax?!
- Be glad you get that much girl metal is uncommon here... if and i mean if you some how make it back with our women i might see to giving you equipment
With that i was once again dragged outside brought to the gate and thrown out along with an ax. Pointed in the right direction and then locked out. Picking up the ax i head down the trail a ways until i come across a lone wolf. Wounded and old the wolf looked like he still had fight in him and immediately faced me with a growl. Equipping my ax i begin to circle the beast as it does the same to me. It jumps at me only to retreat back testing me. When it think it can win it recklessly charges at me. I jump to the left and bring the ax head down across the back of its neck draining it of half its HP. Fuck if i played normally he would be dead right now! Enraged the wolf turns around a swipes at my stomach leaving 5 gashes in it and depleting my health even farther then what it was. Griping my ax i swing in a wide arc and catch it in the side with enough force to pick it up and slam it against a tree killing it. Killing one wolf granted me a quarter of a level. i use the head of my ax to crudely skin the wolf of its pelt and warp it around me. it smells horrid but its warm from being freshly killed warm enough that my cold debuff went away and i started to regain health. I take the time to look in my inventory for the first time and see i have a canteen and 10 military rations consisting of dried meat and a piece of bread. i packed the canteen with snow and put it in the dead wolf to melt it some. thinking about it i check the stats on my ax

Great i was given a shit ax by a shit guy to do a shit quest. Hope that the fucking slavers just want to hand the women over for to me. Not like im going to be able to fight them with this crap. As i bemoan my situation i keep going to the fort and some how was not attacked by any more mobs, thank fuck for what little luck i get. I arrived at night fall, half a day my ass. To my luck the guard at the gate was sleeping. Sneaking up on him i hefted my ax and with a well placed blow took his head from his shoulders. Turing to gray he left behind leather and fur boots. checking the stats i take of my shoes and put them on feeling the warmth encase my feet.

Proceeding onward towards the great hall in the center i stop in every building checking to make sure no one is there in one i find 20 slavers sleeping. creeping in i begin chopping heads as quietly as i can making my way towards the back and right as i lift my ax to bring it down on the last man he rolls out of bed and into a fighting position. He arms him self with a sword that was resting by his bed and swing at me. Dodging back i miss most of the attack and only get scraped by the edge of the blade. countering i use my longer reach and catch his leg with my ax severing it off. For some reason he doesn't scream and instead lies on the ground gripping his stump. Positioning myself over him i raise my blade high. He notices this and raises his hand in a futile attempt to stop me. Bringign my ax down across his neck it embeds its self in the floor. Wrenching it out his body turns to gray dust leaving behind loot. gathering up all the loot i now have 80 copper as well as

With full armor i head towards the final building the great hall. full of my self at how easy this quest has been so far i throw open the doors and walk in. What i see is horrible women striped naked line the wall like art work. At the far end is a massively fat man who looks like a pig, who i'm guessing is the leader. he sits upon a wooden throne that looks like it will break at any minute. With an oink he yells at me.
- Guards kill this intruder... Guards!
- your guards are dead
- what?!
- next is you!
I yell out as he start to panic and try to squirm away, but he is much too slow as i bring my ax across his chest with all my strength and... it bounced off?! This mother fucker is so fat i cant hurt him?! Fuck, he starts laughing and going on about how hes going to rape me when he catches me. Bounding backwards i stay out of his reach. I circle around him and bring my ax into his back which bounce off again. Backing up i look for weak points on his body. Its a massive circle supported by tooth picks is what it looks like. If i have any hope of killing him its going to be taking off his hands and feet. Moving forwards i come to just with in his reach and he swings a hand at me that i back step, and bring my ax to his wrist. Success! I manage to cut his hand clean off he starts to Squeal in pain. I use the opportunity to move to his left and sever his other hand. Back stepping as he charges at me i shift to the right and bring my ax down to the ground and cut his right foot off. Now hes rolling on the floor shouting all the thing that he will do to me once he gets me. I calmly walk to his feet and chop off his left foot. Now limbless he lies on the ground panting with the occasional yell. I stand on his left side and begin hacking away at his neck, each blow barely scratching it, after what felt like the hundredth blow he finally turned gray and vanished. He left behind a spear and shield along with the key to the women shackles. I identified the spear and shield.

equipping both i take free the first woman and give her the key to free the rest while i look around for their clothes. behind the throne is a wooden door. Opening the door i see a chest surrounded by women's clothes and weapons. Inside the chest is soft leather backpack along side 2 small pouches of silver and some random junk shouldering the backpack i hook the pouches to my belt and shift through all the junk finding a few gems that i put away. When i return the main hall with all the gear the other women are free and waiting for me. I hand it off and they get dress and armed. Walking up to me is a blond woman whose a full head taller then me and very muscular. She looks like shes right out of a muscle porn mag. Anyways she comes up and bows to me and says.
- I thank you for freeing me and my people.
- no problem Sven made me do it, saying it was to prove i wasn't a spy
- he said you where a spy?
- yep they beat me half dead and left me in the stocks all night
- i see well when we get back i guess some one is in for a beating!
-HUH isn't he the leader?
- HA fat chance women lead to village of Bramble it was that fool Sven who caused us to be captured in the first place!
- what do you mean?
- That bastard Sven saw the slavers and thought they were frostmanes. I gathers my fighters and brought them to the fort but wasn't expecting magical nets cant cut them and cant lift them once they have been thrown. Caused us to be taken without even getting a chance to fight.
- can i watch as you beat him?
- sure girl, by the way whats your name/
- the names warock mam
- nice name, and its Agrona not mam. once again i thank you for saving us, now lets head back the the village and hand out some beatings.
quest success !you freed the women and in doing so learned that they are in charge of Bramble village. head back with them to watch Agrona beat Sven and the others.
Rewards: the trust and respect of all the women in Bramble village
you're one of them now if your take it
Well i wanted to start in this village in the first place might as well join up with them. Also got some good equipment from this quest. Bet that ass Sven will be surprised that i came back, although i really don't think it was an accident that led Agrona to slavers. I guess i should also ask who the Frostmanes are when i get a chance. O ya a notifications popped up after i killed that slaver pig, also should check my stats.

When i stop and think i made off pretty damn well with how easy that quest turned out to be. Hmm why is my luck so high i never put any stats in it? oh well i guess i can chalk it up to luck... heh luck.
when i stop thinking and look around i see that Agrona and the others are already half way out of sight.
- Hey hold up damn it why'd you leave without me!
