I finally ended up in the character creation room, I look around and see nothing but a void until from the ground a mirror comes up with me in it. the mirror then shatters leaving 2 of me in the room. one not moving of course. I look at it and a few hundred windows pop up. all letting me change something. I am not happy with how I look. namely because I look weak, I relied on Spirit Force and technique before. not muscle mass. so I look like an average 19 year old with short white hair and white eyes.
ok maybe that needs an explanation. my hair is naturally white however the white eyes show I can use the Spirit Force. I could use it to do so much. I was fast. faster then a hover car. I was strong enough to stop a bullet train in its tracks and I could punch a building into dust. safe to say I had a bracelet that limited my Spirit Force. if that was removed I would have not even been slightly hurt by a building coming down on me, to bad it was located on my left hand....
I quickly add some muscle mass so I have a nice toned figure. I change nothing else. I am 5 foot 8 inches and devilishly handsome. and by that I mean no girl has paid me more attention then they have to... my mother included.
I am happy with my character, I notice some other race buttons for dwarf and elf etc but I am happy as a human. I finish that off and smile at my finished product.
"I think I am happy with this" I said and a voice came from behind me out of nowhere.
"Good, can we move on then?" Someone said but I moved on instinct and had my hand around their throat before they finished speaking making them look shocked by the fact it took less then a second for my hand to reach their throat but ignored it as they took no damage.
"Yes please" I said while removing my hand from the man's throat, he wore a fashionable suit and a top hat and he smiled at me.
"Then chose your starting equipment. you can chose the Basic Swordsman gear. the Basic Mage's Gear or the Passive's Gear... wait, you have the expansion pack. you can also chose the Basic Spirit Force Expansion Pack since you have Spirit Force at level 3 or higher." The man said to me with a smile as I thought for a second. also I did not learn about the levels myself so even that one is new to me.
"Basic Spirit Force Expansion Pack" I said as a few screens opened in front of me.
Spirit ForceSpirit Force will replace the standard Mana stat. You have unlocked this expansion through the power of your Spirit Force and can use it how you used to in real life
Physical ReinforcementMastery: Beginner Level 1You can now use your Spirit Force to increase and reinforce all of your physical abilities. 1 stat point is located into each physical stat for 100 SF/s
Basic Leather ArmourDefence: 3Durability: n/aDescription: the starting gear for all new adventurers
that looks nice, but I am no idiot. I have personally met someone who can use Spirit Force to stop time. I don't think she play's games. but if she did I will be screwed along with everyone else playing. however I like my starting gear. it looks to be a set of gear. looking at me I have basic leather armour on my torso and legs. it does not look all that impressive but hey, its beginner gear.
"Oh, I should have asked this sooner but was their any benefits to being a human race or is it just an aesthetic choice?" I asked and the Guide cracked a smile before giving me a blue window.
HumansHumans are a race that is an all round ok race but has nothing they specialise in except Slave Dealer classes are strongest in humans for their corrupt nature with slave dealings and rape in the capital being a profitable business
I am going to burn the human capital to the ground. I hope nobody has a problem with that right? I mean what is with the slave dealings? that can't be normal can it?
"So what do you want your name to be?" the guide asked me.
"Richard" I said simply and he shook his head.
"That name has already been taken" the Guide said to me.
"Richard Willow" I said but again he shook his head.
"That name has already been taken" the Guide said to me.
(30 Minuets Later)
"CABBAGES!!!" I shouted almost out of ideas
"That name has already been taken" the guide said. you know when a tone has been repeated so much it sounds like they are trying to mock you, I feel like punching the guide in the face.
"SmilingNuggets184" I said but the guide shook his head.
"That name has already been taken... 3 seconds before you said it actualy" the Guide said causing me to fall to my knees and punch the floor.
"is there a name that hasn't been taken, if so call me that" I said and he nodded
"Richard7 it is then. Now which capital would you like to start our in?" the Guide said to me as a button came in front of me. I had to think long and hard about this.
Yes
hmmm.... I wonder if I should push the only button on the only screen to come in front of me. after deep consideration of my option. I push the button. I then am no longer in a void, I am in the middle of a town with a bunch of crazy people around me, they are swishing their arms around in the air like mad men. I assume it is a game thing and move on. there is not much to do at the start so I do what I normally do. I train! so I went and found the training hall befor I could start I saw 2 people.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
HanaLevel 1
LinLevel 1
I walk up to them and notice that Lin had a horrible time in character customisation, she had bright pink hair bright blue eyes almost pure white skin and looks to be a beast woman, I know because of the kitten ears and tail... how do I know it was just he not being able to use the the alteration windows? simple, she sit crying slightly while looking at a mirror, she is around 5 foot 6 inches with an attractive figure. Hana had a much easier time in the character customisation with light brown hair and 5 foot 7 inches and looks to be the human race, I also see her white eyes and with my own Spirit Force can feel Hana's Spirit Force however I can't tell much more then that. the size is just my guess so take it as a rough estimate.
I see that Hana is practising with a bow and arrow while Lin looks more like a healer. I then move on with little interest to talk to them.
"Richard. those girls you just walked past are the people you are to team up with and defend" I heard Luke say into my head. I sigh and walk over to the 2 girls. Hana points her bow and arrow at me.
"Walk away pervert. I am busy training here" Hana said to me with her bow drawn. I look at the amount of Spirit Force I have and notice it is 1000. I can use my Physical Reinforcement for 10 seconds to 1 second. with this knowledge I get ready to avoid her arrow.
"I was told to meet you two and join up with you by Luke.." Before I could finish I ahd to avoid an arrow with my physical Reinforcement. it was simple as we all start off with 1 stat point in each stat. I thus got a great deal faster and stronger by adding 3 stat points in each physical stat. I just lost 300 Spirit Force for it. but wait. it looks like I am getting it back at 1 point every 2 seconds. wow I am weak in this game. Hana looked shocked.
"How did you avoid that as a level 1?" Hana asked me and I smiled, making some progress here.
"I used my Spirit Force for Physical Reinforcement" I said simply making Lin and Hana look at me shocked. Hana then shook her head.
"Ok, and you were asked to join us why?" Hana asked me sounding strangely happy. I smiled back.
"Because you are weak" I said simply causing her to send 2 more arrows at me, I cant afford to evade another and sure enough it hits me. doing no damage... oh yea, towns are safe zones. "Calm down, I am here to help" I said as she looked even more mad.
"You? help? ha, it would be more like I would be the one to save you" Hana said with a hint of pride. I was about to retort when I felt a sharp pain that looked to be a message from Luke saying stop being mean to my daughter but oh well. I look over to Lin who is running over to Hana and then hides behind her taking slight peaks at me with a scared face.
"I think we should stop this pointless back and forward debate on your uselessness to make sure we don't scare the kids" I said in a serious tone causing another arrow to be fired and bounce off my face. I sigh.
You have recieved a party invite from Hana to join the Kitten BrigadeAcceptDecline
I accepted it and then saw Hana and Lin's level and name with an online sign at the top left of my vision. funnily enough my health bar and Spirit Force bar was located at the top right of my vision, my Spirit Force is still not even half full and NO!!! I have to much pride to join something called the Kitten Brigade. I pushed the accept button without thinking, now written above my name and level is Kitten Brigade... oh well, nothing I can do now.
"Well then, pick up your weapon of choice and train, you can get stat points from it" Hana said to me while continuing to fire her bow and arrow at the target with an infinite supply of arrows as this is a training room. sure enough I just walked over to a training dummy and started to punch it and kick it. FYI I am a martial artist of TKD. I was a black belt before the accident. 3rd dan. I had learned beyond that however I did not have the time to take the test. now I most likely will never be able to. oh well, I continue to kick and punch and knife hand the training dummy. using all the techniques I know.
"Hey Richard, we will be going to get a class now, you can train here and then get your own class and we will meet up tomorrow" Hana said as the two walked off. I just kept hitting the wooden training dummy... I have to say, maybe games were not as bad as I first thought. it gave me the chance to walk around with out any pain while my body has no legs and missing an arm, however having to drag around a bunch of people does not sound all that fun. for now I will focus on punching the training dummy...
