Joining the game there was a big page with some explanations on how the game works and warnings. It was like a loading screen.
The main warnings were :
-If you die in the game. You can't play anymore. You will be banned permanently . Everything you owned on the game will disappear.
-Please be careful with your body link. It will harm your real life body.
-In most zones/places your body link will be 20%. But if you go in other specified zones there will be warnings to tell you how much your body link will increase.
-In wars your body link will go up to 50%. If you are a king your body link will be 70%.
-Depending on the difficulty of the quests your body link can go up to 100%. It's up to you if you will accept the quests.
And there were other warnings too but they weren't as important.
After about 2-3 minutes I was teleported to a place.
It was a very small village.
I started walking towards it.
Getting near the village, I saw people doing chores, kids playing with toy swords, everything was lively, but everyone there was an NPC.
The thing that still is shocking to me how I can feel everything.
Everything is just very realistic.
At just 20% bodylink I could feel, smell, hear, and even taste.
Everything was just perfect.
After walking a bit more and smelling the aroma of some of the flowers I could find. Then a screen popped up. That is the 'window' of the game.

===========================
"Hmm."
The system Fury, gives everyone quests everyday. Every quest that it gives is unique to everyone, except the first quest in the game which is the tutorial quest. It doesn't give you any rewards but it will tell your stats and your title after completing the quest. The title is very important. For example if the title is " Dinosaur " you can activate it and you will have the abilities of a dinosaur. Every title is different just because someone has a bad ass title doesn't mean they are strong. I have seen gamers with titles such as "Unicorn" or " Cozy Farmer " and they were still good and very powerful.
I hope I get good stats and title. Also the max stats you can have after completing the tutorial quest is E ,except Intelligence, Wealth and Luck.

===========================

I chose no assist.
I know basically everything about the game. I am subscribed to a lot of pages and channels so I get updated of the latest news of the game. Maybe I don't know how Fury works or how the game ends. But my 4 years of watching countless videos and being updated with everything that is happening in the game weren't just for nothing. That also includes the tutorial quest, which I know like the back of my hand.
"Now that that's done. I need to get prepared."
I'm going to explore a little.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Even though I know the tutorial village from watching videos, I need to experience it, memorise it, so I don't get lost and be unfortunate to end up in a dead end if the ogres kill me.
Ideally I would want to fight the ogres not in the village but further, I'll see what I can do.
After 40 minutes or so I now was confident that I know the village. Now I needed some equipment.
I went to a black smith shop. I saw a well build man with a moustache, hitting a hammer against a sword that was on an anvil.
"Hello?"
DING DING DING*
I waved.
"Helloooooo?"
"Oh sorry kid I didn't see you."
"That's fine."
"You are a new face. You a tourist?"
'Unbelievable'
Truly unbelievable. How the NPC sounds like a real person and seems like a real person is mind blowing.
"Um yea."
"I hope you are having a good time in our village. So, what can I help you with?"
"Are you selling wooden swords and wooden armour by chance?"
The wooden equipment were all together 10 Z-coins, and the other ones were too expensive so I just went with them. The tutorial can be beat with a wooden sword and shield only I have seen it. Even though the sword doesn't cut well at all it can at least pierce through flesh.
"Yes, wait here."
He went inside his shop and returned with some equipment.
"How about this, I will give you this used iron sword and wooden shield for free because I don't know what to do with them anyways, but I will sharpen your sword and that will cost you 4 Z-coins."
I can't believe it.
This is truly the best.
I got the rare chance of getting a metal sword and wooden shield for free. This is very very rare, maybe I was lucky because it's my birthday, but if I got this rare chance that means that my Luck stat should be relatively high.
The Z-coins were golden coins with a big Z on them.
"Thank you! I really appreciate it mister."
"Haha ,its nothing kid don't worry about it."
swipe*
With a swipe I opened up my window and went to inventory to get my 4 Z-coins.
"Here you go."
"I will start sharpening your sword in a little bit. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes. Until then I recommend you to go to the other shops around here too."
"Ok thanks I'll be back."
I started looking for the potion shop I saw earlier, while trying to memorise the village.
I arrived and entered. There were shelves filled with potions and books.
" Hi. "
" Oh, hi."
I was greeted by an old bald man with a long beard and glasses.
"Um do you have any health and stamina potions?"
"Yes, I should have some left."
He walked up to the shelf next to me and got 2 round glass bottles filled with green liquid.
"These are the ones. These are the freshest potions I have made, but these are the only ones that are brand new."
"That's perfect because I will only need 1 potion of health and stamina."
"Oh ok, the cost for the health potion is 20 Z-coins and the cost for the stamina potion is 25 Z-coins."
Yep these are the real budget killers.
swipe*
I opened up my window and tapped to my inventory again to take out 45 Z-coins and gave them to him.
Now I have 51 Z-coins.
"Here."
He handed me the potions in a paper bag.
And I left.
"Thank you come gain."
I then went to go find some food because I noticed that my hunger bar went up a bit.
I ate some bread and It was very realistic. Also when your bodylink is higher than 40% you will also feel hunger, pain and your energy leaving out your body basically like in real life,
If the hunger bar hits 100% you will be in critical condition.
If the health bar hits 0% of course you die. And if you die with a very high bodylink the pain will be the same in real life but you will feel like getting a lot of punches/cuts all at the same time in real life, that is why the game warns us and I need to be careful.
This is very dangerous because for example if a player was caught up in an explosion the chances are more in the low side but the player could potentially get paralyzed in real life.
If the stamina bar hits zero you will pass out in game be banned from the game depending on how much energy you used and after you leave Zenodox you will get very tired and sleepy IRL.
The same goes with the mana bar.
This is the reason why being under 16 is illegal to get into a VR game.
After eating some cookies, which tasted awesome, I decided to head back to the black smith.
"Here you go all finished."
"Wow, it looks like brand new."
"Hehe, thanks kid. If you want to go and train, there are some wooden dummies straight north from here."
"Thank you so much. I'm going to go right away."
"Ok kid, goodbye and I get home safe."
"Goodbye!"
After walking like he said I arrived at the training dummies. I started using my sword which was a bit heavy but I was swinging it not badly.
I trained with it for a while and after that I stopped to get some rest.
I decided to circle the village and wait for the ogres to come.
After some time I saw something that caught my eye.
There were 3 maybe 4 people approaching the village. They looked odd.
I started walking towards them, and noticed that they weren't human, but they were the ogres.
They were blue skinned, had big tusks, small black eyes and had wide bodies. They were holding big spiked bats.
I started walking faster so I don't let them get in the village. I don't want to be any casualties.
I didn't run to conserve energy.
So the plan is because they are big and slow, I'll move as fast as I can to deal damage to them one by one.
If anything went wrong I will use my potions.
I started sprinting.
slash slash pierce*
BAM*
I killed one of the ogres and at the same time heard their bat hitting the ground.
There was green blood on the ground.
There are 3 left I can do this easy.
BAM, BAM*
whoosh, slash ,slash ,pierce*
I dodged their bat and killed one more.
2 left.
I haven't picked up a sword up in my entire life but they were so slow.
"This is too easy."
"ROAR"
One of the came running to me.
"What are you even doing."
BAM, BAM *
slash*
BAM*
slash, slash, pierce*
"You fought surprisingly better than ,the other...!"
*GASP*
*GASP*
BAM*
"HEHE"
"You bas... *cough,cough*"
My health went down 80%.
I could barely move my hands to reach for my potions.
At the same time the ogre was preparing for another attack.
"ROARRR"
gulp ,gulp ,gulp*
BAM*
'FUCK THAT HURTS BUT I STILL HAVE A CHANCE!'
He crushed my left hand and I felt my ribs cracking a little.
===========================
Health : 65%
Stamina : 80
Mana : 100
Hunger : 2
===========================
whoosh, whoosh*
I ran a little to keep a distance and regained my thoughts.
I am a bit slower than before.
He kept getting closer and closer.
"ROAR"
"Aghhhhhhhh!"
whoosh, slice slice*
BAM*
slice*
BAM,BAM*
slice, slice*
BAM*
slash, slash, pierce*
"Garrrrr"
I completed the quest.
"Fucking ogre...*hah, hah, hah*...good game."
Thankfully no villager was near, and the ogres were a bit further than where the village was.
If they were closer to the village or if I didn't get my potions out in time I would have died and that would have sucked.
I should keep in mind to not be so arrogant or too confident when fighting. I should be aware of my surroundings more.
"Lets see how my stats are."
==========WINDOW===========
------STATS------
Title : Three eyed demon, Hero
Level : 3
Rank : F+ [22954555]
Strength : G
Agility : G+
Stamina : G
Mana : G-
Intelligence : B-
Wealth : G-
Luck : A
============================
"Wowww I was expecting my luck to be C+ or B- at most but not A, also my intelligence is B- not bad but not good either."
I don't really care that my Intelligence is B- because it can change in the future.
My title is...
"Three eyes demon, Hero?"
Two titles ? Is this a glitch or something? I have never seen an online a single player with two titles.
Maybe a new update? No an update like that would be just too OP and the game would get easier.
What does 'Three eyed demon' even mean?
Well anyways I'm not complaining it sounds bad ass.
"Title activate : Three eyed demon."
==========WINDOW===========
You are too weak to activate your title.
If you want to activate your title level up.
===========================
What? Okay...
"Title activate : Hero."
==========WINDOW===========
You are too weak to activate your title.
If you want to activate your title level up.
===========================
"Bruh."
How is this even fair? Is Fury malfunctioning or something.
Can't you even tell me the level needed for activation? This is just plain stupid.
I can't use my title until who knows when, and the only choice I have is to exit the tutorial and go to Zenodox for real now.
