5 The Holy Manual

Lucifer walked with Krager towards the Noble Barracks and Krager was very polite to Lucifer but when he noticed another player doing something wrong his anger would flare up and he would discipline them harshly. Many of the other players could see how Krager was treating someone nicer than the others and some of the reporters from various gaming sites began to record their screens.

- Who is that guy and what's up

with his special treatment?

- idk maybe its his skin. have you noticed it has a bit of black mixed in unlike ours.

- maybe hes a cheater.

- that's impossible a cheater in the opening day. who could do that.

- Look he's going to those fancy bunks and Krager is smiling while talking to him.

- oh this is unfair.

- does he know the dev's or something.

Many people talked amongst eachother about Lucifer or about what they're going to do later once the training is over. there were many theories as to how training will go while some thought about harsh endurance training other thought about weapons training.

Lucifer arrived at his barracks and turned to krager who was standing behind him

" thank you for everything you've done for me Krager. you've been very kind."

Lucifer was so excited about the way the game started for him and he thought he must be the luckiest guy ever.

" No thanks required Lucifer you are of noble Blood so it is only right for me to treat you with respect however if you cannot complete your training and fail me after all I've done for you I'll send you back to hell myself."

Kragers gaze towards Lucifer intensified and his muscles hardened giving him a Aura of Dominance and Hostility. Lucifer could see the Seriousness in his eyes and became worried. If he failed the test this npc would kill him and would probally never interact with him again.

' guess that's what the affinity thing is huh Lucifer thought to himself quietly before anxiously replying'

" Dont worry Krager I will prove myself to you"

he spoke with utter confidence in his voice.

" I trust you Lucifer DO not disappoint me"

Krager looked at Lucifer one last time then walked away out of the yard and out of sight.

"Haaaaah"

'that was intense'

' I really hope that the training is easy otherwise I'll end up like those two guys that couldn't find a barrack in time.'

Lucifer shivered at the thought of being decapitated by Krager if he were to fail.

He looked around his barracks and saw no one else around so he climed into the nearest bunk and waited. He looked at his quest to see how much longer he had to wait.

[ Going to demon school ]

[ Difficulty B ]

[ Begins in 4 hours 23 miniutes Game time ]

" 4 and a half hours what is this shit "

Lucifer shouted in his bed.

Luckily he was alone in the bunk so no one saw him looking like an idiot.

" it says 4 hours in game time so what is that like in real time?'

Lucifer was thinking for a couple of minutes before he came to a conclusion.

" Vlaria capsule Logout "

[ Logout confirmed. Please stay still]

Lucifer's character disappeared from his spot and Alex woke up in his pod.

Alex immediately ran to the box that the capsule came in and rummaged around for a minute before he pulled out a small white manual.

" Ah here it is "

Alex opened it and read all the information he could.

Time in Valaria is 4 hours for every one hour in real life. so one day in reality is 4 days in Valaria.

' so I only have to wait an hour before I can start my quest and I'll be able to complete it in only two days.'

' Well I guess I should relax until an hour is up.'

Alex put the manual down on his coffee table and pulled out his computer to look online.

He typed in the words (Valaria Online Bonus Reward) But little to nothing came up.

Alex closed his computer and turned on the TV. Before he could put the controller down the announcers voice from the news broadcast filled his ears.

" So what do you think about Valaria online "

On screen was a young looking reporter probally early 20's and he was reading off of a sheet infront of him. There was a another man infront of him sipping tea, he was maybe in his late 30's or early 40's and spoke with an Enthusiastic voice

" I really like the game. the graphics are life like and the npc's are just like real people. It feelss like I've been transferred to another world.

a young man ran up to the reporter and handed him a new sheet of paper and whispered into his ear. The reporter looked towards the man and back at the camera and spoke

"It seems there's been a commotion At the Demonoid Capital Agartha. There seems to be a player with a different skin color from all the other players. They say he has a crimson black skin unlike the other crimson Demonoids and they also say a Demon Knight was acting friendly towards him."

" what are your thoughts on this Chris "

The reporter Didn't wait as he just spewed all the information he was given immediately out there and asked his guest Chris what he thought about the matter not giving Chris time to think.

" Ah I don't know actually I havent really paid attention to the Demonoid faction lately so I cant say anything on the subject."

The reporter looked disappointed but carried on with his questions.

" Although you haven't been focusing on the Demonoids isint it a little strange that one player received Special treatment on the first day."

The reporter wouldt let this go he had to get Chris's Reaction on this.

" Well I think it is a bit weird for one player out of thousands to get special treatment like this but The ai have their own minds and thoughts so if they make a decision what are we to do about it ?"

The reporter carried on with his questions while Alex just sat there thinking long and hard.

' I'm already a hot topic on the news what do I do now .'

Alex looked through the manual and stopped on a certain page. the page read

A player can hide his I.D. from others by opening the characters inventory and going to customize character. from there you press the hide I.D. button in the top right.

Notice if you have killed another player you will not be able to hide your I.D. and you will be marked with an orange I.D. and if you kill 2 or more players you will gain a red name tag that will display your name for 1 week.

( Cannot disable name tag if Red )

Alex turned off the TV after about an hour had passed and got back into the capsule

" Valaria capsule start "

[ Welcome Demonoid Lucifer ]

Lucifer got out of his bunk and looked at the timer for his quest

[ Going to Noble School ]

[ Difficulty B ]

[ Begins in 12 miniutes and 24 seconds ]

Lucifer closed the quest bar and opened his inventory where he saw two items. his enhanced sword and 10 Average souls, his gaze fell on the 10 Average souls and thought.

' I could instantly become a demon knight if I use them now, but i think i should save them for now. it might be weird for a demon knight to take basic training.

Lucifer walked out of his Barracks after turning off his Tag.

Amon was sitting on a rock right outside his door

" You caused quite a commotion yesterday with that Crimson black skin you got there"

Amons sudden voice startled Lucifer who Instinctively Jumped backwards.

" Ah Amon what are you doing there you scared me"

Amon looked up to Lucifer and smiled

" so hunting buddy are you going to tell me or what."

he acted like a little brother asking his big bro for something.

" Sorry bur it's a special secret I cant tell anyone."

Lucifer walked out of his Barrack and closed the door behind him as he talked more

" I'm still your hunting buddy tho ."

Amon had a saddened face but jumped up at his words. Lucifer looked at him and he looked to be in his Mid twenties and had a smaller stature compared to others. He had silky smooth hair that was almost as long as a girls. He had a fit body and Blue eyes not red like the many others.

" Your eyes why are th-."

Lucifer tried to speak but was stopped by Amon who Whispered into his ears

" I have Secrets too. "

He leaned away and smiled at Lucifer as he reached out for a handshake

" Let's be friends."

[ -Amon- has Sent you a friend request]

[ Accept ]

[yes ]

[ no]

two buttons appeared in thin air and he pressed yes.

[ -Amon- has been added to friends list ]

Lucifer reached out for the handshake and they both shook their hands enthusiastically.

Amon looked back and said

" Hey want to party up "

Lucifer answered

" Sounds good what does it do in this game "

" It divides up loot between us when we kill bosses or we can check to see each others health. pretty basic not much different from what you're used to."

[-Amon- has invited you to party (secrets) ]

[Would you like to accept]

[ yes ]

[ no ]

once again the buttons came up and he pressed yes

[ you have joined Party ( Secrets ) ]

[ Loot sharing has been turned off ]

[ XP sharing has been turned off ]

A small little health bar appeared next to his and next to it was a small name - Amon- .

Lucifer closed the window and looked back up to Amon who was casually waiting

" Are you ready to go "

Lucifer got up and spoke

" I'm always Ready "
