Finally the release date of ToGaE had come and Mothy logged in.

User your random race was chosen as Dwarf. Your appearance changes were applied to your race. The game will start in 6 minutes, while you wait it is suggested to try out your new body in a VR practice room.

OK, bring me into the practice room.

In the practice room Mothy checked his new body, flexing it and attacking a few targets.

Hmm everything seems good, a bit awkward because of the size and mass differences but ill get used to it in a while.

User be aware that the game starts in 10 second...

Once I am in game, I will need to get used to the game, learn how this game works at the very least and then find the rest of the old guys. If nothing changes they most likely have some kind of shitty nicknames. Well it’s not like I am one to speak when I used my own name but with different meaning.

...1, Initiating the game. In another flash of light the game started.

Welcome Adventurer to the world of Sturmford where your tales of good and evil will unfold!

May you find your Truth and Way XEXEXEXEXEXE….

The first thing Mothy noticed when the flash of light passed was the smell and sound, fresh nature and village air and loud chatter from other users hit his senses. Looking around he saw more and more users appearing in his surroundings. Thinking a bit Mothy decided to go find some kind of a quest and get the feel of the world. Walking through the crowd towards what he thought was the village leaders house or something similar he saw many people looking surprised while others rushing towards outside the village. From the chatter of the people Mothy understood that the ones rushing outside are trying to occupy the best spots for farming mobs and getting EXP, while the ones surprised consisted of either new players who got the new capsules and finally were able to experience the wonders of VR or experienced users from other games who were amazed that ToGaE was more realistic than the competition. In fact one of the amazing things about this game was that the Dark Horse Studio claimed that they achieved over 80% realism in the game what’s more they said that players will be able to experience far more things in their game than in any other released VR game to date! This statement made a lot of noise and attracted plenty members of other VR games to try ToGaE and at least for now they were not disappointed.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

Finally Mothy reached the Village Leaders house only to witness some players leaving disappointedly. They shouted to others coming to the house.

Don’t bother to go to the village head, he only gives out the tutorial and teachings, no quests at least for now. Just a waste of time.

Most people hearing this also started leaving towards other places in search for quests. While Mothy decided to still go meet the Village Head.

Hello young adventurer Mothy, have you come to learn about this world and how to be a successful adventurer?

Yes village head Thomas, I Mothy have come to learn all you could teach so that my road would be smoother.

Then listen well young one, and because you are so eager to learn I will start from the classes since they are most likely what interest you the most. The classes are divided into short range,mid range and long range classes which adhere to tenets of protection, damage dealing or support. For example a fighter which is a basic class that you are able to transfer, he falls under short-mid range

physical type while mystic falls on the mid-long range magical type. They are the two basic classes which you will get once you complete a few challenges our village. Later as you grow in power you will be able to advance, a fighter will advance into classes like knight,warrior,rogue,archer and so on while the mystic into mages,sorcerers,priest and so on. There are special cases and rare or hidden classes, for example paladins which you can transfer by doing great contributions to one of the churches, it is both a physical and a magic class with both melee and long-mid range capabilities.

Now moving on, you as an adventurer get quests and complete them fighting against threats to good people of Sturmford but beware for there are evil forces everywhere. Undead Legions,Demons and all kind of lesser evil lurks in all the corners of Sturmford threatening everyone. Chief among these are the Evil Gods with their minions, The Spectre Council, Demon King Ulthor and last but not the least Triumvirate of The Emperors. But these evils are far away from our small village, the most you can expect here is some beasts, small monsters like goblins and bandits.

Do you have any questions?

Yes village head Thomas, I wonder if and where can one learn gathering and crafting professions?

Ah yes as one would expect from a dwarf, indeed there are these kinds of professions such as blacksmiths, woodworkers, jewelcrafters, alchemists, rune refiners, herbalist and many more.

In fact if you are interested I can give you an introduction letter to the local craftsmen so that you could get a quest for your selected sub professions. But be aware that even if there are no limits to the amount of sub professions that one can have but as one advances in his profession more and more resources and time one will require so I advise that you focus on less but more attentively that to waste on being jack of all trades.

Thank you wise Thomas, I have learned much from you and now it is time for me to use what I learned.

Oh before you go could I ask you for some assistance although its nothing grand and it wont bring much to you, young one, but I ask you to humour this old man and do some errands for me. It’s nothing much but sending some notices,letters and passing on words , ah also checking on a few people for me, would you be willing?

My pleasure , you can consider this as my payment for the information you provided village head Thomas.

Thanks again Mothy, here is the list of task, please complete them at your own leisure.

* Ding * You have received Village Head Thomas Quest “Errands of the Novice Village (Tutorial) Part 1”

Well this seems like a good start for my first time playing a VR game if I say so myself.
