Re: New World

Humanity has harnessed augmented virtual technology for years but on the 25th of january 2130 the first and only virtual world was released: New World. A second world that humans could enter in their sleep and that even accelerated time by a factor of 1,5. To say this game was a landmark moment would be an understatement, up to 70% of all humans in 2133 had played or were playing regularly. Augustin Vraken wasn't some godly player, neither was he oppressed, his existence was normal until he found something, something that shouldn't have been there. He could make a wish, he wished to go back in time, to before the cataclysm and before the release of New World.

Arrival

The helmet hummed with a light electric noise. He could feel his body getting transported as if ascending a thousand meters. After finally landing after a minute of travel he could finally see the place he had entered 3 years ago.

This was the character creation screen, the amount of changes you could make was extremely limited. He changed his facial features to match those from before his reincarnation. After inputting the name Auguste for his character he was done,The adjustments made he could finally relax for a few minutes before the game started.

Augustin could finally see the introduction to the world, a world of fantasy where races and conflicts existed in untold numbers. This world was one entering a fantasy industrial revolution and the birth of new technologies would reshuffle the cards. The uncertainty born from this would set the stage for multiple large scale wars and a world war.

Knowing that he would be asked where to spawn he clicked on the Holy Flame Empire as soon as he could, the outpost he chose to spawn in was north-west and situated inside the Flasburg duchy. The choice was motivated by the presence of black iron, a cheap and functional metal suitable for machinery.

The first thing he saw after he was teleported to the outpost was his status screen.

Steadying himself he got going before the horde descended, his first target being the mayor. Running there he scouted the location of the smithy, the armory and the training grounds. Looking behind he could see that people were appearing behind him.

Finally getting to the mayor he asked "Can I help you ?"

"Considering your equipment and level no, go pick up a weapon at the armory and ask the chief guard for what you can do."

[Common quest]

Help.

Claim a weapon using the token and ask the guard captain if he needs help.

-reward: 20 exp

_______________________________________________________________________

For accepting the quest [Help] he was given a token he could exchange for a Common weapon at the armory.

Entering the armory he spotted earlier he was greeted by walls full of weapons, swords, spears, halberds, smoothbore pistols, wands, bows, crossbows. The amount of choice was overwhelming but he had made it a few hours ago. Getting out of the shop with a pistol, having gotten 40 rounds of ammunition with it he could go to the guard chief and get hunting.

He had chosen the pistol for the high damage per shot and the even higher weak point damage. The ammunition costing money could be a problem but he would remedy that with a secondary weapon like a dagger when he could. Having finally gotten his weapon he could finally start hunting.
