Marshell was now looking at several different forms of robotic creatures. "Please choose your SubRace." He saw many variants of the race some were different and most where letters some were number and then he saw it ST, It was a small creature came up to about his knee he would saw three feet tall, Tank-like threads for feet, a box for a body with two claw-like arms, the head was extended from the body from a very small circular tube acting like a neck, flat and small was the head with a glowing eye and the middle of it.
It reminded him of a movie his Daughter and him watched she had like the little robot and so did he. Smiling he started paining it has he gave it a small shine with silver paint and a green eye instead of a red one. He then clicked accept has a name prompt came up. "Let's call you, Butio Butio." He grinned essentially it meant Boom Boom.
"Now it is time to select a class." He nodded he knew about basic stuff from his daughter since she was a gamer on the web. Basically, it was Warrior, Mage, Archer, and Healer right? "Edina Online has a wide selection of 50 different classes. His eyes widened. "The classes have been divided into five different types Melee, Ranged, Magical, Creation, and Misc." He blinked has he begin confused this wasn't what he knew.
Well, it said creation was the thing the creation race was good at so he dropped down the list of creation. "Trap making," He said instantly the machine gave him the class has it pinged above his avatars head.
"Character Creation complete please choose your starting town." It stated has he saw a map, seven dots appeared. "Each town has a number of different advantages."
"Which town has the highest number of resources?" He asked the game.
"In order to get the full experience of the game certain knowledge will not be said." He sighed, damn machine oh well.
"Meh how about this one called Agitha, I was sweet on a girl with that name before. Though she turned out to be a whore."
"Sending Player ~Butio Butio~ To Agitha." He disappeared in a large light.
~InTown~
The town looked old victorian style as he glanced around the place. Other players well what he assumed other players as they all had names above their heads while other town people have nothing above them. A blue box appeared in front of him.

~Welcome To Edina Online~
He blinked at the box, so the stats his daughter always talked about where these things. He had no idea what they meant. Some people looked at him with strange eyes he didn't mind though. "Someone actually chooses that race?" Someone whispered has he shrugged he liked the race. "Aint the stats only 1's and 2's besides one five." He blinked did he choose a weak race?
"Yea, I mean every other race starts between 10 through 20 stats." Another said has he shrugged in his head that only confirmed one thing. Cowards
He finally found a place to be alone has he begin to think in the ally way and decided to learn a little bit. He couldn't after all leave his daughter hanging he was going to not be someone who depends on his daughter even if it was a game, he was a 20 yr military veteran shouldn't be that hard.
Slowly he began to look at his skills. "Whats Inspection," He thought out loud has a ping alerted him with a blue box.

He looked he only understood a small portion of what the skills meant. He sighed he would have to look some stuff up after this. He then decided to roam around town to look for something to do, the scenery was beautiful but not for him he needed something to do while his daughter came.
Wait, I could level up my skills lets see what would be the most basic one. Has he thought about he nodded, "SELF DESTRUCT!"
* - - - With The Daughter - - - -
"Thank you, Stephen, don't know what I'd do without you." She said, some prankster hacked into her account and tore down all her videos on viewtube. She sighed has it had been about five hours though she had finally fixed it all with Stephen's help.
"Hey no prob Ella, you should be good to go you ready for your video." She blinked, shit it was that time. She picked up her phone. She let it ring until she heard her dad's voice.
"Yeah, Honey?" She heard her dad's voice had he just gotten back from playing the game.
"I'm done, but it's time for my video so, I was wondering do you wanna be in it?" She wanted to play with her dad badly but she never missed an upload plus it would be great to finally play a game with her dad. Though she would never admit that he beat her badly at pong 31 to 0 when she was 6. Since then pong was banned.
"Well I mean, I don't mind but I'm not that entertaining." He said at least he didn't think he was. "And I'm not doing that Intro with you."
"Ok DAD, what town did you start in?" She asked curiously plus that why they could meet up.
"I think it said Agitha." He stated and then seemed to think for a moment. "Oh, yeah daughter two questions."
"Yea Dad?"
"What's the blue bar on the screen and why is it beeping? it won't blow up, right?" He said she could hear his worry.
"Don't worry dad just your mana ill explain when I get there." She stated.
"Ok and don't mention I'm your father never know who is watching." She sighed.
"I trust my viewers but fine I won't say where family."
"Alright, Wait for you in Agitha after they calm down in the town." She heard him seem a little mad at the end.
"Dad, why are they panicking."
"They just can't handle explosions is all one explosion and they stay away ok maybe a couple, oh dinners down ill talk later get on after." He said and hung up as she blinked and looked at her editor Stephen has he shrugged, she just sighed.
* - - - With the father - - - -
Marshall Tucker or Butio Butio was now in the middle of the street has other players stared and the NPC was running after the explosion he then saw the red bar was at 1 his blue bar had gone down some too. "Alright time to go again." The other players' eyes widened as he kept it up. "SELF DESTRUCT!"
Soon the players were running around as he kept going and he didn't stop. He then heard a ping.

He smiled and was about to keep on going till he heard a phone ring, Taking a moment he looked at the icon, with the phone setting and clicked it.
He blinked as he thought who would call him obviously the only one was Ella his Daughter so after it rung a few times he clicked the accept button. "Yeah, Honey?"
"I'm done, but it's time for my video so, I was wondering do you wanna be in it?" I didn't mind but eh some of the people in her commit creeped him out a little I mean who tries to hit on someone in the commit section.
"Well I mean, I don't mind but I'm not that entertaining, And I'm not doing that Intro with you." He said, he didn't understand why she did it but hey she got the views not him.
"Ok DAD, what town did you start in?"
"I think it said Agitha." He paused he couldn't remember if that was correct are not. "Oh, yeah daughter two questions."
"Yea Dad?"
"What's the blue bar on the screen and why is it beeping? it won't blow up, right?" He was worried it might be a bomb ready to kill him for blowing up too much.
"Don't worry dad just your mana ill explain when I get there." She stated has he wondered what the hell was Mana.
"Ok and don't mention I'm your father never know who is watching." He said more as a statement then a question If she pushed he would allow it but he didn't wanna let other people and possible stalkers know who he was.
"I trust my viewers but fine I won't say where family." She could trust them, he wouldn't though.
"Alright, Wait for you in Agitha after they calm down in the town." He sighed has another player was pointing at him honestly he was voiding out what he was saying he didn't care though the guy annoyed him.
"Dad, why are they panicking."
"They just can't handle explosions is all one explosion and they stay away ok maybe a couple, oh dinners down ill talk later get on after." He said and hung up, these people where annoying.
"Look I get leveling up skills but why in town don't you know you could damage the building if you keep up at." He glanced and saw his Icon saying it was ready. "Listen I get it your a noob and probably can't play that well." Butio looked up at him. "It's ok but you shouldn't cause trouble to people actually playing the game." The guy sighed as he spoke. "Bud I get it you want attention all that stuff but keep that up and you will die a virgin."
"Actually I have a daughter." He started getting a little irked.
"Well I feel sorry for her are is she worse than you, I mean come on your a noob at least go do noob things else..."
"SelfDestruct in 9," A robotic voice said, oh now it had a countdown feature nice when counting down it double damage too. The guy's eyes widened, SelfDestruct in 8." Butio was down listening to the man.
"Hey now let's calm down." He scouted closer in his tiny robotic avatar.
"SelfDestruct in 7." Ok, the guy thought he could do this he was a bard he had high charisma.
"Let's talk about this now." The guy tried again.
"Self Destruct in 6." Butio was snapping no one insulted his daughter.
"Fuck this, I'm out." One guy in the background fled.
"Self Destruct in 5." Has he fled Butio then decided to make a tripwire during the countdown it was easy it appeared he didn't need to move to do it it appeared right behind the idiot who insulted his daughter?
"Listen you don't have to do this." Butio wanted boom, He will get boom.
"Self Destruct in 4."
"SHIT LEAVE!" He yelled out as he tripped over a wire Butio Made.
"Self Destruct in 3." Has the guy tried to get up he felt a crushing weight on his stomach has Butio rolled on top of him, while small was a machine and weighed a lot and he was on top of a level 7 player?
