The Beginning

My name is Kim, 19 years old and still currently in college. Even though I'm a student, my world isn’t this reality, but it is another reality, that is in the game I'm playing. “Half Reality”.

I started playing this game because I was bored just studying and needed an escape from reality to seek entertainment.

It’s a VRMMORPG with fantasy tropes. However, what drew me into this game wasn’t the VRMMO experience alone, It’s the ability to play however you like and you can try all sorts of skill either production,art, literature and all sorts of it. The concept of it genuinely was very interesting

The game just got released. Fortunately I was able to obtain one of the physical copies. As soon as I got home, I quickly set it up to play it. In the blink of an eye, it was finished. “Now time to dive in”.

“Welcome to the Half Reality, Please choose your name, race and starting point”

⌜Hmm… I’ll name myself as Green and set my race to human as default⌟

Well, not that there’s much difference anyway. I set my starting point as random and hit start.

⌜Here goes nothing⌟

I opened my eyes to find myself in a green forest with huge trees, the height is on par with some of the buildings you’d find in the city. That’s how tall it is.

⌜Now now now, let’s get my stats sorted⌟

⌜This stats really screams average to me, I would probably die if i got attacked butterfly or something⌟

⌜At Least the attribute i got seems pretty rare and cool⌟

⌜I wonder how do i obtain skill by the way… ⌟

⌜Anyways, first thing first, I should find some food or I’ll get hungry. I guess maybe picking some wild fruits from tree and water from river⌟

I set out from the point I started to find some wild fruit and maybe a river for water. ⌜I wonder if I can even climb this huge tree…Well my questions is not gonna be answered if i just think about it, lets just give it a shot⌟ 

With the vines growing along the tree, I hung onto it and tried climbing it horizontally imitating professional rock climbers I used to watch on Youtube.

Unlike doing it in real life, I don't feel my hands or legs shaking at all because of nervousness. 

⌜Oh ! This is pretty cool⌟

I screamed as I was excited to be able to climb it albeit it was slow. Then I heard a voice in my head said ⟪ You Have Acquired Climbing Skill ⟫ 

The voice in my head was the system's voice notifying me that I just obtained a skill. 

⌜Climbing Skill ? I guess it’s good considering the size and height of the tree I'm climbing… Anyways, we go back to being a monkey ⌟

After 15 minutes climbing, my ⟪ Climbing ⟫  skill rose to level 4 and i finally reach the lowest branch. I look beneath and then look up to see how tall this tree really is. I can’t even see whether this tree has fruits or not. I shifted my view toward the leaves. 

I was surprised how thick and durable it looks, compared to normal size leaves, it’s way thicker and durable. 

⌜I’ll take one or two of these leaves i guess, maybe i can use it for something later⌟

I struggled a bit since it’s so thick and strong that I had to use my whole body strength to pluck it. Fortunately I was able to get seven of them and not slip down.
