Chapter 2: Tutorial (1)
=====
After absentmindedly gazing at the scene in front of him like a virgin boy staring at a naked women, Rick finally noticed the blue screen had updated.
SYSTEM MESSAGEWelcome User. The system has detected a premade character. Would like to use this character?YesNo
Not willing to waste (his-already-low) IQ by thinking about his choice, he selected the "Yes" option. A few seconds after our protagonist had selected, Rick felt a strange sensation slowly wash over his body. If he had to describe it in words, it was quite like taking a shower, but with thick molasses instead of water. After the feeling had covered his entire body, it took only a few breaths for it to vanish. And with the its disappearance, a new screen came into existence.
Adjustment CompleteIs this the character you desired?
SYSTEM MESSAGEYesNo
Noticing something out of place in the background, Rick looks away from the bluescreen invading his breathing space to discover a large mirror, the kind usually found in dressing rooms at clothing stores.
"Hmm... Hot damn. I really outdid myself on this one. If only I really looked like this..."[Rick]
After having his narcissism awoken, our protagonist took several screenshots of his new character in various poses and stances before returning his focus to the blue screen.
SYSTEM MESSAGEWould you like to take the tutorial?YesNo
Thinking that it`ll be worth it to see the mechanics of the game, Rick pushes the "Yes" option. Soon after, the screen disappeared. And with it, the stars surrounding him, one by one, started to vanish into nothingness. Following the disappearance of the last star, a quest prompt appeared.

After reading through the quest description, Rick couldn`t help but let loose a grin.
(Sweet! Maybe I this tutorial will let shoot a laser cannon or something!)[Rick]
After he had finished contemplating this thought, the quest prompt had changed.

(Hmm... Choices, choices, choices. Maa. Screw it)[Rick]
With this thought running through his head, our reckless protagonist selected the "Random" class. After waiting for about half a minute, another prompt appeared.

"Hot Damn! My luck must be turning for the better!"[Rick]
Rick yelled this as images of giant mech battles and mowing down waves of enemies with a really big ass gun soared around in his head. His exictement and happiness were high enough to the point that he started hopping around like a little girl going to Disney Land! After calming down (and hoping nothing recorded him), he turned his attention back towards the blue screen.
