THE GREAT SAGE OF VERSAILLES
PROLOGUE
“Hwaaaa….”, that was what escaped from my mouth the first time I opened my eyes after logging in the game.
‘No wonder they calls this virtual reality’, everything seemed real for me, as this was the first time I played virtual reality game. Well, actually it was also my first time playing game since my last one in Junior High.
Before I continue telling my journey in this game called Royal Road, I will introduce myself first. My name is John H. Smith, a typical Englishman name. I was born in England but was grown up in Australia till I finished my master degree. I’m now 32 years old, unmarried man and the last time I had any relationship is around 7 years ago. I have a reason for that and I will tell you later about it, so just be patient with me for now.
My father was an archeologist and my mother was an historical lecturer, both already dead. My father dead because of an unknown sickness he gained from his journey in Egypt, some people said it was a curse but I didn’t believe that at all. For my mother, she died because of a car accident. Both left me when I’m still teenager. But luckily for me, they left me with quite some of fortune so I will be fine till 200 years old, if I live that long, even if I just playing around for my whole live.
As for me, since both my parent love history in their entire life, I gained that trait and surely love to read history books and enjoy seeing historical artifacts. Not only that, both my bachelor degree and master degree is in history. When I’m 25, I became an archeologist like my father and had lots of journey around the world till an accident happened to me and I injured my left arm and lose entirely of it from shoulder. Because of that now I stayed in England and became lecturer.
As you read above, you now can understand why I’m in no relationship in the last 7 years. Mostly because I spent all my time in my journey and after I lose my arm I became a shut down, unable to en joy my life anymore. Well, actually I’m not that good with women ever since my childhood, but I’m able to have a few girlfriends even though just in single digit.
Enough with my history. For now I’ll tell you all why I started playing Royal Road. Just like many other people who were bored with their current life, I was curious to play right after watching the long video about the war in that game. It’s the video that captured almost everyone in the world which shown the war between the undead army against the orcs and dark elfs alliance which was led by an extremely ugly orc. Seeing that video made my adventurous self that was buried deep inside awoke once more.
The next day after I watched that video, I bought the capsule so I can play the game. I paid double the price since lots of people also want to buy those limited capsule. Even with that double price, I still needed to wait a month before the capsule came to my house.

The waiting time was good for me, since I’m the kind of man who didn’t like to rush things and loved to plan everything first. In that one month, I tried to gain as much as knowledge as possible by browsing in the net and reading lots of books. I also watched lots of video that gave me understanding about what I must do when the time comes for me to play the game, at least for the first in games month when I’m unable to leave the city.
Right when I was ready to start the game, my capsule finally came and as soon as it was installed I entered that thing to start playing.

YES | NO
When the message popped out, I quickly said, “Yes.”
-The scan on your iris and vein has determined that you are an unregistered user. Do you want to create a new account?-
“Yes.”
-Select the name of your Avatar-
“Liang”, I chose that name since I loved the Three Kingdom characters Zhuge Liang.
-Select your gender from male, female, or neutral-
“Male”, this was unconditionally choice for me.
-Royal Road has forty-nine races. You may select your race from the primary twenty-nine races -
“Human.”
-You may alter your appearance as your wish-
“The way I’m, of course with my left hand intact”, this is also why I want to play this game since I’m able to have my left arm again even just in game only.
-Select the city and kingdom you want to start-
“The Citadel of Serabourg, Rosenheim Kingdom”, I chose this city since there’s a benefit from the newly built giant statue there.
After that I skipped the tutorial phase since I already knew everything I need to know from the whole month I spent to gain some knowledge.
With a sudden bright light I finally started my Royal Road life.
