Battle Realms - Beginning
It has been 3 weeks since Rune has stepped on a entirely new world that he calls his new home, after dying to being hit in the head by a brick for unknown reasons.
After awhile, he had obtained a VR capsule and the game "Battle Realms".
3 days went, and Rune had completely finished setting up the new Device and was prepared to enter the capsule. After making the necessary preparations, he finally enters the capsule, waited around and was greeted with darkness.
After waiting for a few minutes, he hears a crisp sound...
Ding!
[Welcome to Battle Realms.]
[Do you wish to Hear the Story?]
"No". Although he was unfamiliar with the game's background. He was not really gonna wait for a long story, So he had skipped it.
[The Game has 4 races for you to choose from. All of which have different Strengths and Weaknesses]
[Humans - A all-around race, being jack of all trades but master of none, It has unlimited potential.]
[Elves - Known for their Mastery of Magic and Asssasinations, Capable of massive amounts of damage within short amounts of time, but are vunelrable when fights go longer]
[Orcs - Known for it's Brute Strength and Powerful Vitality, Capable of withstanding massive amounts of damage, but are susceptible to quick attacks.]
[Beastmen - Known for having many strengths and also many limitations, They are specialists that are powerful in one department but are weak in many others]
After Carefully reading each of every races and their descriptions, Rune chose Humans because he liked being an all-rounder and having unlimited potential is quite enticing to him, of course he knows that there are many challenges to it but that is also what he wanted.
After having chosen his race, he is greeted with another message.
[Choose your Class] it said.
And after that 5 Statues had appeared out of nowhere, each representing each class
[Warrior - Powerful Frontliner, Capable of Defending and Attacking at the same time. Weak in Long Range attacks]
[Rouge - Short Range Burst Dealer, Masters of Disguise and Stealth, Capable of Inflicting Damage at close range. Weak when detected.]
[Mage - Masters of the Arcane, Deals Close Range and Long Range damage, capable of dealing mass destruction. Relies on Mana for Output]
[Archer - Long Rage Burst Dealer - Precise and Deadly at Long Ranges, but are very weak in Close Quarters.]
[Versatile - Jack of All Trades, But requires hard effort and skill to bring it's true potential.]
He pondered for awhile on what to choose, after careful studying of each class, he in the end. Chose Versatile as his class. He liked to learn many things by himself. And this also brought up challenges he would like to do.
After doing so. Another Message ran.
[You have chosen your Class]
[What do you name yourself?] Asked the voice
A name... He certainly is pondering on what to name himself. After awhile, He finally had an Idea.
"Fool" He said.
[You have chosen the name "Fool"]
[Would you like to customise your look?]
"No, I'd like to keep my look" He said.
(Special Note: Fool represents new beginnings, having faith in the future, being inexperienced, not knowing what to expect, having beginner's luck, improvisation and believing in the universe. Pulled from the 78 Tarots Cards.)
[Race: Human, Customizations: None, Name: Fool, Class: Versatile]
[Confirm?]
"Yes" Rune stated. After that, a Flashing white light blinded him and after awhile, it disappeared and now within his vision was a village of some sort. And Along with his hands were a sword and a bow and a Staff. Around him were different people, presumably also beginners, ready to to take on the world in the future. Currently, He was in Village No. 142, First thing he did was check his surroundings and then checked his stats.
[Name : Fool]
[Class : Versatile]
[Level : 1]
[Health : 50/50]
[Mana : 50/50]
[Physical Damage : 10]
[Magical Damage : 10]
[Armor : 5]
[STR : 5] (Strength)
[AGI : 5] (Agility)
[WIS : 5] (Wisdom)
[VIT : 5] (Vitality)
Looking at his Stats, It was bland, but soon it would be very different from now on.
"These Damn Rabbits are at it again, Eating Crops again in front of the village. I sure do someone could help out on this. Sigh...." A hoarse voice could be heard somewhere and Rune picked it up, He looked at the distance to see an old man with a stereotypical Old Leader look. He approached the old man and spoke "I'd like to help out, How many should I take out" He went straight to the point.
It was important to note that this game had achieved a 100% realism factor, Although some of the elements within the game are not present within the real world, Most of it was the same as reality.
After having a small talk with the old man or the village leader, He was tasked with hunting 10 rabbits.
Before Going hunting, He observed that the village was getting crowded and chaotic, and for a good reason, they had segregated men and women, due to the fact that they predicted the villages being overcrowded and if both genders were within one place, then It would cause some "accidents" that would smear the game company's reputation. So they planned ahead to seperate them to different villages.
Looking at things are going right now, It would get very crowded soon enough that they would block each other and cause some disagreements around, so it was best to move out before it gets too full.
While everyone was arguing, Rune took the chance to hunt down 6 rabbits with his weapons. And soon enough, he had killed 10 rabbits and gotten a level up.
He looked at his stats and his 5 free points and pondered where to put them and after awhile, he placed 2 on STR, 1 each on WIS, AGI and VIT,
(Note: STR increases Physical Damage , WIS increases Magic Damage [Available only on Mage Class] and Mana, AGI increases Armor and Dodge Rate, and Lastly, VIT increases HP)
After finishing off the quest, He ran back to the Village Chief and gave him the 10 dead rabbits, The Old man smiled and he had gotten 5 Silver Coins and 1 common weapon, he chose the bow as the common weapon and directly replaced his beginner one, boosting his ranged attack by 4.
