The most difficult mission... Character making

(A/N Notes: How to embrace a true gamer feel in a story? Just makes memes, shitpost, and a bunch of references)

"*Opens eyes* *Looks around* "... Why is everything so bright and white?... Oh! It's the character creation part! Okay! Let's get creative!"

And all he ended up doing was mess around with the character settings and reset back to the initial settings. In the end, he only gave his character a black hair and black eyes, now all he had to do was name his character (A/N Notes: Pretty much everyone creating their characters for the first time)

"Alright! Now let's have a look at those cosmetics I received!"

With his character done, he began looking at all the cosmetics he had, and he chose a jet black mask that only covered his face, a blue scarf, a fishing hat, a pair of brown gloves, a British officer red coat, and black pants and leather shoes. He had also picked a pair of sunglasses, a red neck gaiter, a red trench coat, black jeans, leather boots, and a cowboy hat to bring with him as spares

"I'm the most fabulous of 'em all"

He knew his appearance was pretty weird, but he liked it nonetheless

"And now, it's time to add the final touches. For skills and magic, I'll choose..."

There was a big list of skills and magic in front of him, but he had already decided what he would be picking for his character, while he looked at the forums

"First, as my main skill, it'll be Archery for some shameless hit and run tactics and said to be horrible because practically no one is capable of hitting anything, all I say is that they're all noobs when it comes to shooting a bow

Second, Axemanship, because swords are overrated to death, and because I want to cleave stuff and cut wood, also said to be bad because of the slow attacks and long cooldowns

Third, Kick... You guys don't want to to know the why, a meh skill without anything to make it shine

Fourth and fifth, Water and Fire magic, both useless in most situations, because one just shoots water, and the other has a high chance of burning you by accident, all I can say is wet and toasty

Sixth, Speed boost, self-explanatory

Seventh, Crafter, because I'm a DIY kind of guy

Eighth, Acrobatics, considered bad because the player who tried this skill couldn't use to dodge or for aerial attacks during the beta, but I want to do some PARKOUR! in-game

Ninth, Stealth, hides you in plain sight, until you move, yup! Perfect for shameless camping

And tenth, Falcon vision, just a renamed Eagle vision, it zooms in and highlights some stuff, falcons are cooler than eagles"

Truly, the skill set of someone who likes to give himself a challenge on Blood Demon souls borne, and tried a lot of stuff in real life just because of his curiosity and just because he thought 'Because it's just cool to do it yourself'

"And now, I need to distribute my 74 stats points... Alright, I'll be going with the Glass cannon setup! 7 points in Vitality, 18 points in Strength, 7 points in Defense, 17 points in Dexterity, 8 points in Intelligence, and 17 points in Speed... Yup, perfecto! And now all I to do is name my character..."

And when the naming panel appeared in front of him, he looked at it, kept looking at it as he thought what to put in there

"Hmmm... ... ... ... ... ... Yup, I have no freaking idea of what to put in here..."

Then he looked at his own character

"British red coat... No idea... Red... No... Null... Red B*ll?... Red Null?... Yeah, I can live with that, Red Null is it!"

And so, Riku named his character a Red Null (A/N Notes: Red Null it gives you wings)

"And STARTO!"

And finally, he logged into the game for real

<Red Null successfully logged in>

"Alright! Let's set an alarm to warn me at 19:30, and go hunt!... No, actually, since today it's the launch day, and it's still early in the afternoon, the hunting grounds will definitely be crammed with people... I guess I'll go train a little to get used to this game mechanics until then"

He opened the game map, marked the training hall, and he made his way over there, but then...

"Hey! Shitty archer! If you think-... ... ... ... ... ..."

<Kids these days really lack manners>

Some greatsword players called him, so he just muted the player when he started shouting, and went back on going to the training hall. Once in there he picked his starting bow and received a notification

"Hm?" <The combat in the game is mostly based around the player's skill, with the assistance of the game system... Wait? Really? Hmmm... I do sometimes go shooting with my bow at the firing range... Meh, whatever>

He closed the notification, and aimed his bow at the target, and shot the arrow, making it land halfway to the center of the circle

"... I really shouldn't have skipped bow day... LET'S DO THIS!!!"

He fired himself up to hit a bullseye shot, and he managed to level up his archery to 5 while at it, after that he went to level up his other skills and magic

*Menacingly swinging his ax at the dummy target with his left hand* <... Wow! I feel as if I'm Jason Voorgeez when he's cutting an annoying teenager with his machete!> *Swings his ax again like a certain serial killer who commonly wears a hockey mask*

...

*Kicking the dummy target* <~Risin' up, back on the street...~> *Rhythmically kicking the dummy target*

...

"Fireball!" *Hits the target* "Hmmm... No... This way is too lame..." <... Wotahball> *Finger snap*

*Hits the target with a ball of water* "... Yup, it's cooler this way"

He managed to level up all of his attack skills and magic all the way to level 5, when the alarm he set, started ringing

<Already? Well, time for a brief logout>

And he logged out of the game to take a shower, have dinner, brush his teeth, do any remaining bodily needs, and do a quick check on his emails

"Okay, time to log back on"

And he logged back into the game

"Alright!, now that it's night, the kids won't be playing, so the hunting grounds should be free now"

He made his way to the gates and went into the beginner plains. And as he had thought the gamer kids weren't there, but instead...

"THIS IS MY SPOT!"

"I KILLED IT SO ITS MY LOOT!"

"STOP STEALING KILLS!!!"

"Go [redacted] yourself! You [redacted] [redacted]!!!"

it was the adults who were cramming the place

"... I think I'll just go pick some grass"

"You were also thinking of waiting until it was a night to hunt, weren't you"

"Hm? Ah, yes. I didn't think that a bunch of other people would think the same as me"

"Well, it'll probably be like this for some days and they're also wanting to hunt as much as possible before night, so you might want to wait a little more"

"Oh! So this game has a day and night cycle?"

"Yup, it's a cycle of 5 hours, with 3 hours being day and 2 hours being night, and it has already cycled once in fact"

"Oh! I was in the training hall, and I was also briefly logged out so I missed it"

"So that why, huh? Well, just take care to not stay outside during the night for too long, since some nasty creatures appear during those 2 hours"

"Got it, thanks for the information"

"You're welcome"

"! By the way, can I add you to my friend's list? I'm Red Null, but you can either call me Red or Null"

"Sure, I'm Lillie... Now that I think about it, those cosmetics clothes, are the rewards from the crowdfunding?"

"Ah! Yes, they are. Why you ask?"

"It's just because all the other players that I saw who were also using cosmetics, were role-playing with complete medieval sets"

"Yeah, I get why they're doing that... Anyway, I'll go picking some grass"

"Is that so? Then make sure to come back to the city before night"

"I will"

Red and Lillie went on separate ways, with him going to collect herbs

"Haa... Well, time to waste some time"

He activated his falcon eyes skills and went herb collecting

That's all for today everyone!)
