> Quote:Please enjoy this chapter as it explains the VR game a bit. This is what my VR game is like
Chapter 2- The beginning
I walked up to the sleeping capsule and stepped inside, placed the headset on and started it up.
“I will now start walking a new road”
A few seconds after I closed my eyes, the surroundings turned from black to a light blue sky above and white puffy clouds below making it seem like I was floating or flying.
My eyes widen and I exclaimed “WOW!”
Then a voice from above or somewhere spoke:
[Iris, body and brain wave scan shows that you are a new user. Would you like to start your brand new road?]
“yes” I said excited
[Please enter the name you wished to be called while playing]
‘Let’s see here since I am trying to change myself night as well get use to my new name with this body’ I thought
“Silvia”
[Choose your gender: male/female/neutral]
“Fe…” I began but decide to stop at the last second to think
‘Wait I was male but turning female because of that stupid pill… does that mean I am neutral since I was male then female? Wait no, that doesn't make sense according to the doctors I have become 100% female but…’ my thoughts in my head went all over the place making myself even more confused.
“AGGG! Female” I finally yelled out while having a few tears dropping down cheeks
‘I said it, I really said it… well it has been 15 days might as well man up and accept life or… women up???’
[Please choose a race and customize your appearance. There are many races in New Road and they are all at peace in 95% of the kingdoms so only about 5% of the kingdoms in New Road are hostile towards certain races. ]
A 3-d image flashed in front of me showing what I look like as a human in what I think beginner cloths
[As you change your race the body will also change. Please choose carefully because you can only ask for a change in character once after this and your previous character will be deleted. You must do this before 16 days in game time]
Well that is good since the company allows the player to change their character once.
[Since you one of the first players who have entered the on the day of release you will gain 10 extra stats and also bit more information that is not supposed to be given in character creation]
‘Neat! Now let me see here what kind of person am I… What do I always wanted to do? Yes that is it’ I smiled ‘I loved when archers in the total war games shoot their arrows and watching the soldiers fall when hit by the arrows’
“Change race to Elf” I said
[Elf is available. Elves are a humanoid race with long, pointy ears natives who rules the forests on Second Earth. In general, this race has advantages in Magic and Archery, but disadvantages in Melee combat. Their specialized stats are Mana, Intelligence, and Dexterity.]
The human image turned into an elf with the typical pointy ears, a bit paler, sharp yet gentle eyes and longer eyelashes.
‘Pretty??? I think… I guess… man I don’t really know. Mhm It is in my average/ normal category’ I scratched my head in confusion
‘hm… so-so but let’s see here I like ambushes and always enjoy seeing the pray be strong but then cower in confusion and fear then finish them off one by one’ (sadist?)
“Are there elves that specialize in ambush in the dark as well as in forests?”
[Your description matches a sub-species of the normal Elves called Moon Elves]
The image changed from elf to moon elf which wasn't much of a difference except that the pointy ears are shorter than the normal elves and the skin looked almost like moon light.
[Moon Elves like their predecessors the Elves are a humanoid race with long, pointy ears natives who once ruled special forests on Second Earth. In general, this race has advantages in Magic, Archery, ambushes, and stealth both in the forest and 20% more potent at night when the moon is up. Moon light does not reflect off the body of this race and instead goes through them causing them to be almost invisible in the moon light but this only last 10 seconds and refreshes after 10 seconds out of the light.]
“PERFECT!!!” I said with a smile “I choose Moon Elves”
[Please customize your appearance]
“The way it looks right now”
[Please choose your starting location. This next piece of information is only available to those who started on the release date]
A 3-d map came in front of me and immediately I knew what the map looked like because I have seen this map and shape in my most nightmarish class ever, GEOGRAPHY. It made me shiver thinking back to that class. It was like military camp because the teacher was in the military.
[This is the map of New Road also known as “Second Earth”. This map is based on the real world including the names of the countries and starting cities. But don’t let that fool you because only the name is the same as Earth. This world has been constantly transformed into a magical place where mountains became forests, plains became volcanic rocks, and oceans became a sea of fire or another element, these are only examples doesn't mean they are true find out yourself through adventures. This world is as new as a new born baby waiting to be explored. Here is a secret, the lands of the Americas have yet to be explored and also the Bermuda Triangle which is a mysteries place.]
‘Amazing, but I don’t think I am even ready to explore those places. I am basically here just to socialize as a female and learn from others such as the NPCs since TechnoArc said that the NPCs in New Road are as real as normal people, once a quest is complete it cannot be repeated unless the NPC wants to such as gathering food or fur. Of course also socialize with other female players I just hope there aren't any males being females… wait! Aw crap! am I included one of them???’ I cried a bit
[Each country is specialized in something and will be added to your character traits because it will become your home country. An example is for starting in England allows you have to have superior mastery for using bows and will gain extra traits on long bows. Every long bow crafted is different and people born in England will be able to use its hidden abilities also the country gives accuracy bonus. Denmark is specialized in axes allowing you to bring out the hidden potential of axes and has good foot charge bonus. Since you are special I will tell you every countries specs.]
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
The AI said so much that I just started blanking out like when you don't understand what the teachers are saying and waking up only at the end. I guessed that the AI is based on a female because it had a female voice or neutral… ‘does an AI have a gender? Whatever I will just call say the AI is a female’
"hmm" i began 'I always loved Japanese culture from watching anime and reading manga. Also father loved talking about Feudal Japan as well. Guess I will go with that.'
In a loud and clear voice I said "Japan"
[Starting region?]
A map of Japan came in front of me and showed me the regions where I can start.
I just said "Kyoto" since it was the center of the country.
“Always wanted to visit Kyoto” I said out loud
[Sorry like I said before only the name is the same and the game version looks very different from the real version. Which one you prefer is up to you]
“I see” I said looking like a child sulking
[Do you wish to take the tutorial?]
“yes” I said since I don’t know what to do
*note: The tutorial is about game mech and such so no need to write about it
After a few hours
[Please review all of your options “Accept” to continue]
I reviewed all the previous choices and said “Accept” and waited to be teleported but then the AI said
[Ok! Please watch where you fall]
“Wait what?” I asked confused
I immediately started to fall down towards the clouds. I was in so much shock by what had happened I didn't even scream, I just moved my arms by some kind of reflex towards the virtual light blue sky and my hands just tried to grab something. A message then displayed:
[ On starting the game for the first 3 hour GT or 1 hour RT you cannot die by any means also there is no fall damage for the first 10 min. If you do die you will be teleported in a rude matter and will get an extra 1 month penalty]
“Well first 10 min of no fall damage huh. That means I can enjoy my first free fall” I smiled as I mumbled
The feeling of free falling was amazing. I thought I was either floating or flying in the air also the view was amazing once I got out of the clouds.
“So this is New Road’s Kyoto amazing.”
The streets are filled with tiny dots which are players and NPCs buying and selling items or doing something productive waiting for 1 month to go by. The castle was beautiful surrounded by pink trees which are Sakura trees (Cherry Blossom trees).
‘I feel so free up here’ I thought as a closed my eyes for a few seconds then opened them just in time to see what was in front of me...
(Someone else pov)
There it stood, a single wooden spear somehow standing straight up because of one of the guard’s personal challenge to make a spear stand straight without anything supporting it. (like how your bored and started balancing a pencil on the desk) Then something fell right on top of it somehow at an angle where the spear went straight through without breaking or moving half way.
(back to Silvia’s pov)
*Pierce*
I felt a sting of pain coming from my belly and when I opened my eyes again I saw that I landed in some outdoor military weapon supply and an out of place wooden spear coming out of my body.
‘Well there goes my mother’s idea about me going to learn how tough it will be when giving child birth’ Even at 20% real pain it hurt a lot. Good thing was that I didn't take or feel the fall.
My body started shinning about half way down the shaft and luckily no one saw what happened. When I hit the ground I got teleported.
After 2 sec I heard a splash and felt like I was swimming. I opened my eyes and stood up above the water just to see hundreds if not thousands of eyes looking directly at me.
I started to run out of the waist deep water red in embarrassment, the only lucky thing was that my face was pretty much covered by my wet hair because of the fall and water so no one knew what I looked like. Every beginner started with the same gear.
“Have to find an isolated place to think. Need to get out of all these staring eyes. Come on go back to doing what you people were doing before I got here.” I mumbled as I walked into an alleyway
Once I was out of sight I started to take deep breaths *inhale* *exhale* (repeat 3 times)
A message was in front of me but I didn't read it before since I was occupied with running away.
[Due to dyeing after only 5 min after starting you have proved that you need a lot of help therefore you will have to stay in the city for 3 more months GT]
I brushed it aside and said sarcastically “What a helpful AI” *SIGH~~~~*
'Well 1 month (RT) of doing nothing but socializing I guess. Nothing bad will happen while talking right? I plead with all my might'
“ok let’s see here what did I learn in the tutorial”
"Stats" I said
