“Whoa! It’s true. I’m in VR!” Ops, sorry for my immature reaction earlier. Anyway, seems the device working perfectly. I’m checking the log if there a problem with it. I don’t know about this brainwaves but what we can said here is the brain and device communicate each other to make our character move in VR. There no need to move our physical body. Hmmmmm, looks I’m naked and there interface showing “Character Creation.”
“Welcome to Skill Online, beta tester player. Please insert your name first.”
It’s already common sense on MMO or any game that need to insert character name. However I want to hide my identity. The reason is simple, I have a job contract. One of the most I hate when it come to naming. Argh! Meian already out.
10 minutes later….
Urgh, I found it. Let’s name my character as Meiz Grey. Tap confirm and there “Please select your gender.” Like always it’s common thing….eh? What the hell they are thinking. Male, female and last option is hermaphrodite. Heck, I know there are some people have it in real life but this is my first time see it. *facepalm* I don’t want to argue it so much but it really trigger my inner self. Let’s choose male, I will ask Rose we can create character again when official launch
Next is select our race. I already play as human race many time so let’s change pace. My choice race is vampire incubus. The race we can combine or select one of it. Only 2 race can be combine. I think that’s the limit for it. There so many race we can choose but the system explain to me some race will be lock. That mean it’s unplayable for player. To unlock it, there a few way such as ritual summoning, open a new gate and others. However, they told me there an item we can change the race. That include gender or any customize you want on your body. Wow, it really interesting for me.
“Please imagine your character for customization such as height, hair length and color, eye and others that related to it including your private thing.” Oi,oi this system or I can said the person behind making this system mess up with me or what. *sigh* Whatever, I wonder how people react to it. Try imagine it by yourself.
Alright, my body height around 170 cm. Have a tight muscle around 20% and reduce some fat too. Skin color is pale. Black hair and length around near the shoulder. Eye black and sharp. Change my face to high school student. Well, I mean during my high school student. Lastly, my thing around 17” not so much. I will custom it more on official launch later. Hmmmm, this look is good for me. Some may know my face. Oh, like I care.
Next step is selecting the class. *sigh* Too much play style I can do. There different in this game when choosing a class. It’s give some bonus stat and fast skill learning in specific class. For example. A warrior type class like paladin, knight and other give STR, END and DEF bonus stat. Each time we level up the stat will be increase too. For warrior skill is such as sword and shield skill. This have a different aspect too. Sword skill will increase the damage combine with their weapon damage. Each class have a skill art on sword skill. It included with shield.
Ah, Skill Art? Basically Skill Art is certain technique to increase more damage than basic damage. Each Skill Art have a cooldown. There a downside on it. I wonder it’s effect on real thing especially I heard this game not like old MMO. There many skill in this game, the player who not patient enough will having problem later. I had to do some read for each of skill to understand how they worked.
Class is really troubling me, if I focus on common class in MMO there will be a stat to sacrifice. There a bonus point I can using to cover it however the point can spend at another place.. There other class that focusing on crafting, cooking and others. Oh, we can change class whatever we want but there a downside I can see here. It’s will make a player need to spend more time and money when leveling it up. There some equipment focus on class so it’s not recommended for it.
Therefore, I’m make a conclusion better learn a skill you want. If I want to crafting wood. I try learn woodworking skill. At least we can do something we wanted especially for solo crafter. There different from “learn” and “pick” a skill. Learn a skill is you need to learn (I don’t understand it. Need to check in-game later). Pick a skill is what I’m doing now. Pick any skill you want that cost some point from it.
3 class really intriguing me. Beastsoul, Reaper and Crafter. This 3 class only available for beta player only. When official launched, only character status will be reset except money we gain. Point will be disturbed by how many level skill and class we gain. Interesting. Let’s see what this 3 class offer.
FERAL
Feral is focusing on transformation to the monster or beast form. Increasing a stat base of what monster the player transform including monster humanoid. Player need to eat the meat of monster they kill. Each of feral form have time limit. The time limit increase per level. Each feral form need to level up to get it more powerful. There will be advance class once reach level 30,60 and 90.
A good class I can said it. There no restriction weapon we can use except when use feral form. Stat also change base on feral for we are using. The downside is we need to grind each feral form or we focus on some feral form we are using in combat. It’s harsh but the rewards also high. Next class...a Reaper. A wicked name class and some of you might think in negative way. I don’t know what to said but there negative I mean it’s really suit for bad people.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
REAPER
Main weapon is scythe. This class more focusing on speed and critical damage. By focusing on weak point there a chance to one hit kill. Weapon can be customize base on the combination of magic and science to make it more powerful. There will be advance class once reach level 30,60 and 90.
This look like assassin type class if you guys not think on another aspect. I can said this class is on another group. There no penalty on armor at least your stat really suit to wear it. In other words we can us any armor to focus on speed or damage or both of it. Ah, I forgotten something important. Each class have advance class. When we meet certain level we can upgrade our class to become it’s more powerful. I just found that the class also depend on our play style too. Damn, it’s really hard to know what class you get unless it will show up later. Anyway, lastly…
CRAFTER
Focusing on crafting skill. This class gives a bonus stat to all crafting skill. Player can focus on one or few profession that related to all crafting skill.
Short explanation but I understand what it’s mean. It’s jack all of trade. Any crafting will be advantage for the crafter class. Making potion,smith, forge and other crafting related. Can you imagine it. Anyway there a downside of it. You can take 2 or 3 crafting skill that if you fous on one profession. More than that will consume your time and money except for solo crafter.
I keep checking on those 3 that suitable for my plan. Like I said earlier you can pick skill later on so there not so much disadvantage to me. Conclusion, I choose Reaper class. I can one hit enemy especially player to run away if there anything happen if the situation not on my side. Rogue type class? True it’s helpful to help me escape however I want change my pace. I have try most of the class the MMO offered. Only this 3 make me interesting and I choose Reaper class. I will choose a few simple skill for collect information in beta server. The point left will be use later on. Oh I got 7 points for learning some skill.
This is skill I take….
Reading skill learned
Fast learner learned
All language learned
Information and knowledge can become a power later and will be useful for official launch. Reading skill can reduce my time read that it all. I just take precaution step. Try to imagine if you do not have Reading skill or low-level on it. Suddenly you got a book that have 700 page (that’s for example). It’s really take a time. All Language is to unlock any language available in this world.Isn’t too less point? Right, this is what Skill Online. It’s a”skill”, the ability we can do this and that and earn it by ourself. Looks like my stat not change at all. There a change but not so much. Here is my stat after selecting the class.
Name
Meiz Grey
Class

15
Exp
0/100
STR

DEF

INT

WIS
27
This is normal stat for any player. Each start around 15 to 21. In other words the class will have an effect with out stat. I just found something here. It’s weird but there a note from dev. They told that each stat can increase by doing some certain work. That’s awesome you know. When you weight lifting it will increase STR and END. Reading the book increase INT and WIS and other stat also have a way to increase it. It’s will pain in the ass to increase for each stat. This game totally make a player a hard start. Oh, why there a 27 in some of my stat? Oh crap, *facepalm* I don’t know if I had said this or not. Race also effect our stat. Vampire and Incubus they strong at magic. When I combine it look like the stat increase by double. Cool right?
Alright! Let’s go! After click done on my character. The surrounding change and there a view where a land and some building. Wait, I’m floating? Look up,down left and right, yeah totally floating in the sky. Now what? Oh there a background sound and narrator voice too. It’s seem talking about this world.Let’s me make it short, compact and simple. This world is called Arufair.It’s create by the god and life start appear on this world or I called it as planet,whatever. First there only human race but there incident occur. Mana, we all know mana is a power source for magic. There a certain place have a dense mana in it. A few group human go there and they mutate. From there it’s start appearing a different race other than human.
Elf, beastmen, demon, celestial and spirit. This is a common race in this world. By the way there other race by some group go in common race and it’s way too much to list it here. Back to topic, human feel not safe and the mutate people feel so regret what happened to them, Day by day, month by month and year by year. They war start when someone is start become greedy with power, money, power, fame, land and source in this world. Every living had been sacrifice and the war still continue until each race realize they make a big mistake.
Extinction, when they realize the dire of this situation each race start to withdraw one by one until the major race cannot continue anymore and sign a peace treaty. From there each kingdom and empire try to repent their sin by had alliance between each other. From there, peace still continue. However we know there is friend and enemy in our life. That’s it all about Arufair world. Quite tragic and eventful for this world. I think the player will mess this world later on. Trust me. Anyway for now the beta player will go to private server where developer provide for us. Again my surround change and the brightness keep shine and increase that force me close the eye. I hate this part, really.
