----------------------------------------
Until the feeling of Warmth filled him again, followed by a cold breeze that caressed his face, Vaax then realized that he had his eyes closed. He didn’t know when he closed them but decided not to dwell too much on the impractical thought and opened them, a new setting took its place and what greeted him was scenery of a town, a medieval town to exact; with its stone-brick walls, tiled roofs and wooden doors. The town looked like the perfect medieval setting as different components through-out the eras were taken in and added to it.
‘Fake’ is the first thing that came to his mind as he saw his surroundings, the scenery that met his eyes weren’t exactly ‘Fake’ but Vaax in real-life is a fan of history. The greatest villains had their names etched in history, and he admired them; Joseph Stalin, Genghis khan, Hitler and other great villains that had their names uttered in disgust. He studied their lives, their achievements and how far they have gotten through their methods. From those studying those, he was able to love the concept of war and primarily appreciate it.
Other than the passion for war, what he earned from them were useless facts but he still liked their stories. From another’s point of view, Kristan could have looked obsessed… fanatical even if it weren’t for his second persona that acted as his shield he would have been looked on as a freak but instead he is considered as a great man with weird hobbies. Vaax decided to get his head back to the game, shooing away useless thoughts that came and distracted him from his current agenda.
Vaax surveyed his surroundings, right now. He is at what looked like the town square, the typical and most medieval look of a common fantasy world; a fountain behind him acted as the center while a plethora of stores surrounded it like a maze… “Wow…” he muttered… even if the whole thing looked somehow “fake” to him, he still couldn’t believe the realism of the game, the 98% realism that the game boasts was actually genuine, other than the pain threshold that was set to 25% and the floating interfaces, the game was called out to as a new reality by the so-called “Forerunners” as the beta-testers liked to called themselves.
He cursed those lucky bastards, it was seven months prior to this day… when the game company, announced the release of Yggdrasil as well as the hiring of beta-testers, Kristan immediately registered… sadly, the criteria for those who will be chosen was but the first two thousand that sent their registration.
Kristan was the Two-thousandth and one applicant for the beta-testing, rendering him unable to participate. That was the start of his loathing to the so-called “Fore-runners”.
So after the reminiscing of the past, Vaax continued on with his primary situation.
He remembered that the spawn was random on Yggdrasil Online, it was as to what the creators said are “would turn the game more Immersive”… ‘Immersive my ass’, he bitterly thought since Vaax didn’t believe their bullshit and only thought of it as a nuisance rather than “More Immersive” as the creators said.

Find Your RootsQuest Type:RacialDifficulty:???Quest Rewards:Racial AdvancementDiscover your Celestial Heritage and know your ancestry. (Player actions will determine celestial ancestry)
Vaax was surprised at floating blue interface, not expecting the sudden quest pop-up that appeared but after reading it, he quickly dismissed the notification. It was a racial quest that all races with racial advances will gain at the beginning so he didn’t prod unto it much.
He checked his inventory by saying “Show: Inventory” and an interface with rows and columns appeared, inside his inventory were 10 pieces of “Beginner meat jerker”, a water-skin jug that held 15 ounces of water, a beginner privileged sword named “Ultimate Beginner sword” and lastly, a “Special Water Tonic” that filled his inventory with their own corresponding icons.
What took his interest was the “Special Water Tonic” in his inventory; the item wasn’t mentioned in the manual as a starting item so it was something that he thought of as unique.
“Special Water Tonic (10/10)”Type:TonicDurability:UnbreakableQuality:--A Gift for all those who played on the game’s first day of release. This Tonic increase health regeneration by 1 HP per sec. for 10 seconds. Effects can be stacked and Stacks can be replenished by refilling with water.
The item was a privilege item for those who played on the release day of the game, it wasn’t much but it would greatly affect his early stages and is likely a huge advantage for all those who started later than today. After checking the tonic he went and checked the sword.
“Ultimate Beginner sword”Damage:2-4Durability:UnbreakableQuality:PristineA sword for newbies and the like, usable until level 10.
He equipped the sword and checked his status by stating; “Show Status”

After looking at his status he frowned, seeing all the disadvantages of the Alfhemirian race his face frowned but he quickly dismissed it then surveyed his surroundings, which were when he realized that the common populace were all looking at him and whispering, some women trying to take sneak-peeks at the handsome lad, while Most of them were NPCs there are also a couple of new players mixed in the crowd.
“Kyaaa! Look at him, he looks so handsome! “(Charmed Woman 1) said one of the female players on the crowd.
“Tsk, he obviously used character edit for that” (Envious male 1) a male player butted in.
“Ugly men shouldn’t speak about him like that. You’re just jealous“(Charmed Woman 1) said the woman with an annoyed tone.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
“Look at his fore-head, his Alfheimirian, just like me. He shouldn’t be able to change his looks” (Alve Woman 1) another player said.
“Bu… but” (Envious male 1)
Vaax decided not to listen anymore, his head was hurting because of the unwanted attention that he suddenly garnered. He went up to one of the closest guard and asked. “Can you please direct me to the church, I need to be a priest” he said in his most gracious voice, it irked him that he had to be polite and good in his supposedly new outlet of a game but it was a need for his goal, So continuing on his first objective, professions-change.
Based on the manual, Profession is the character class, changing professions gives bonuses and acts as a guide to create a proper character, almost all professions can be gained on any level but some of the profession dictates a required level for the change, from what the manual stated; there are three types of professions: common, hidden and unique professions. While common as its name suggests is something that is common, common professions can be earned through NPC trainers which are easy to find and ask for the change. Unlike common professions, hidden professions as the name suggests is hidden, hidden professions can be divided to 3 categories which are Uncommon, Rare and unique. Uncommon professions are slightly better than common jobs but not by much, rare professions are professions which are rare or harder to get while unique professions means there can only be one of such job on the game.
Right now, Vaax has already devised his plans for his goal of world domination; he created a series of calculations in his head while planning. This is one of Vaax’s special skills or gift, when something interests him; he is able to exert maximum effort to do what he wanted so His plans were already formed.
First Goal: Change Profession into a Priest.
The profession irritated him but he had to do it. It was crucial for his plans.
“Uh… UH yeah, umm… please come with me… I’ll lead you to the church” The female guard said in an anxious voice.

Vaax sighed inwardly; it wasn’t supposed to go this way. “This” was the exact reason why he wanted to edit his face. His face became too perfect, a face where women couldn’t resist but to ogle and admire and it was all because of the inability to change the face menu alterations… now it led to this kind of stupid situation.
The guard led Vaax slowly, too slowly for his taste, they stopped several times in the street, and the female guard would suddenly point out land-marks and locations, and then talk about them, telling him of their merits and demerits, where he should stay because it’s cheap and where he shouldn’t because the establishment is shit. He felt that she was leading him around, but he knew too well not to anger the authorities so he kept his mouth shut.
About an hour or two passed, when they got to the temple. Vaax wasn’t that displeased at the tour since he learned a lot from the lady, more so than he would if the guard didn’t stop from time to time just to ogle at him while he is not looking, but Vaax knew it all too well, too obvious as one might say
From what he learned from the guard, the town is called Altiva, A rural town that under the fiefdom of Lord Gail Matrus Servenheil, other than the town name and who owns it, the female guard also told him the locations of cheap but clean inns, the best black-smith in town, best leather-works and other establishments that should become a benefit to me if I ever need such services.
Vaax then walked towards the arch-way before saying good bye to the female guard, when he got close enough to the arch-way, a voice called out to him. “Wait!” the voice was some-one he knew all too well, because it was the voice of the female guard that led him around the city. “Umm… I’m Lori Valcrest” she said with dignity, her brown eyes glinting as if she had just done a great achievement.
“Ah yes, I’m Vaax… just Vaax. Also thank you for touring me around the city, it helped me a lot since I’m new here” Vaax gave his killer-smile that he uses when his picking up chicks in a bar. Lori the female guard’s face grew flushed, almost as if she was emitting smoke out of her ears. He saw it clearly, the girl was infatuated with him, and he felt a little bit naughty looking at the red face of the female guard.
He decided to tease her a little, Vaax moved closer, invading her personal space, and gazing back at her eyes with a controlled expression that somehow looked grateful and a bit anxious. “If you need me on anything, just tell me and I will do anything to do it as a repayment” and he took her hand and held it firmly as he gave her kiss on the back of her hand as though she was royalty.
The word, “Anything” echoed in innocent Lori’s mind… as she stared at his blue eyes… his chiseled chicks, his Greek nose that complemented his square jaw and face… his perfect… kissable lips…
“Even if” Vaax continued, “it’s something unusual I would do it “he said with a somehow straight and precise voice as he stared down her crotch. Vaax implied a not-so-hidden innuendo and the innocent girl caught it clearly in the air, her eyes glinted as she stared back at his blue eyes, and he can see her deep in thought. Her breathing became a bit ragged as filthy and lewd thoughts coursed through the innocent girl’s mind. The now not-so-innocent girl stopped on her tracks trying to find and gather the courage to ask Vaax what she wanted…
But before the girl could recover, Vaax left her in a flash.

‘Serves her right’ he thought. It was one of the merits of having such a perfect face; he could manipulate women without even having to plan how to manipulate them. That was one good thing about the hero-like face that he was cursed with.
He continued through the hall-way, admiring the master craftsmanship of the church, rather he found the church delicately made and it gave him a good sense of divinity of the place. Just as he traversed the church, he met a priest… at least he thinks it’s a priest.
The “Priest” looked old and had a different air about him, some-how much more menacing and cold. He approached the “Priest” and asked, “Is this where I can change my Job into a priest?” the old man had a solemn face as he faced Vaax but it immediately vanish, and replaced by a joyful old man, as if the menacing and cold aura brought by the old man was but a trick of the imagination.
“Mister, could you please tell me where could I turn into a priest?” Vaax asked.
“Hohoho!, a young handsome lad like yourself would be wasted as a priest… Hmmm” he said while looking like he was deep on thought. “If you can finish this task maybe I would grant you something even better”

“Ah oh yah, what’s your name lad?” the priest questioned him… Vaax wasn’t even able to utter another sentence before the old man forced a sudden quest to him without waiting for his answer.
“Uh… I’m Vaax” he hesitated first while looking a bit shocked to the old man.
“Ah, well I’m Roynus, and I’m the bishop of this church, Now go ahead and do your task” he replied as he strode away, leaving Vaax standing and looking dejectedly at the floor. He didn’t even expect the old man to be the bishop… much less expected the old man to push to him a random quest that didn’t even relate to his current objective.
‘Or does it?’ he thought, ‘maybe this quest is actually part of the priest quest... well probably since it's profession-oriented?’ ‘ But killing shouldn’t be a part of it right?’ more questions came and flooded his mind… so Vaax decided ignore it for the moment, thinking only of ways to move on to his future.
‘Maybe it’s a hidden class?’ a much direr question came in mind. He didn’t need a special class while he is still of the noble race since he would ultimately change his race to that of the undead as well as change his class after achieving his goal of gaining affinity and immunity to light.
In the game there are a lot of possible ways to attain those immunities; in those ways include attaining light affinity which also increases immunity to the same element, items are also a possible way to raise immunity but items are replaced from time to time.in the game, there are infinite ways to gain immunity but Vaax chose this path— the path to be an Alfheimirian priest as it looked to be the most profitable… but that is just his measly opinion, there might be other ways out there that may be able to fulfill his needs much more easily. But those ways are still out of his reach therefore out of mind.
Vaax then collected himself and stopped his train of thoughts; he was overthinking… this is another one of his gifts, something that is both a blessing and a curse. Overthinking… it allowed him to grasp and perceive things that people wouldn’t normally comprehend… but, sometimes he gets too lost in his thoughts that he fails to see the simple answers that just strut in front of him.
Like the female Alfheimirian arch-priestess that is walking in front of him… he looked at the priestess— no, the Goddess that now stand before him. Golden long and curvy hair that complemented her snow white complexion, Sapphire blue eyes that emanated kindness and nobility… angular features and high cheekbones... her small lips that looked soft and sweet… her twin supple mountains that hang by her chest and the ample butt that glorified her behind.
The woman was moving while facing him but he could still see the temptations that lay behind her… specifically her big butt. Somehow it looked like the woman’s right eyebrow twitch, but Vaax dismissed it as his imagination.
(A/N: One more thing to add to MCs quirks, MC is a Butt-guy. Specifically he prefers butts than boobs.)
He couldn’t help but fantasize about the woman passing in front of him… his inner beast growled and roared a mighty mating call that only he could hear, somehow the inner roar was able to aide in raising his libido in a sudden surge. But he suppressed it, he shut his waking dragon down, replacing his thoughts with mathematical equations and problems… but he can’t help but lust at the sight, so he kept his desire to ravage her and dominate her special place in his head in a minimal dose.
From the outside, Vaax looked as though he was just a “Bit” interested at the woman but in the inside he was only able to faintly resist his raging imagination of forced and non-consensual pleasurable domination. He pulled himself together and tried to ignore the epitome of beauty that stood in front of him and rushed outside, deciding that it’s not safe for the woman if he stood there any longer. He left her there in an instant. ‘Soon…‘he thought, he would do it, better yet “do” her after he has accomplished his goals; he would make “the woman”, his woman whether the woman wants it or not. Vaax vowed that he would suppress his rampant libido and savor it until he is able to do his goals.
(A/N: yet another one of MC’s quirks, he is an S… and he has non-consensual fantasies)
The brief encounter created the blazing fire of passion that filled his “Pride” in his nether regions, the blazing fire that added more to his determination to finish his current goals.
