3 Chapter 3 - Weird Old Man
The day finally came when Reverie is going to be launched. More than a billion capsules have been sold already, and the number is still climbing. Hundreds of Millions of players are waiting for the game of the century to be released, and Tang Yao was not a exception. It was currently 7:55 pm, and the game will open up at 8 pm. Tang Yao decided to eat a Grade A Nutrient Pack before starting the game for the best effects. Tang Yao has practically read all the information possible about this game before starting it.
Tang Yao was currently laying in his capsule, counting down the last 10 seconds before the game is open.

[Welcome To Reverie]
[My Name is Jarvis the Super Computer in Charge of monitoring this game]
[Please Create A Character]
When creating a character your physical appearance can only be altered by a maximum of 20% to keep it realistic. A thought suddenly popped into Tang Yao's mind, 'Can I alter my internals, and genetics?' Sure enough as soon as that thought entered, he found a screen where he can change the size of his bones, muscles, and organs. Before Tang Yao could do anything a screen popped up in front of him.
[Congratulations for being the 1st player finding this feature]
[As a Reward Player will be given an addition 5 stat points upon leveling, and 1 extra point in basic stats.]
[However please be wary, if not careful, you may end up crippling your character.]
'Fuck! Should I do it or not, the only thing I know about my internal body is what I learned in high school. Wait, before my Grandpa died he taught me about the 12 main meridians in the body, perhaps if I change those it will help me.'
Tang Yao began to spend several hours tweaking, and enlarge his meridians, as well as enlarging his heart, lungs, arteries/veins, and main muscles to enhance his body. He was finally finished, and left his out appearance as is. Then loaded to his stat screen.
[Scanning Body: Will Now Allocate Stat Points According to User's Body Constitution]
'Huhhhh????????? WHAT! Wait the game never said anything about having our main stats being based off our body! But wait, isn't that good for me, since I'm physically fit? HAHAHA, Fuck that Fatty, he is gonna get screwed so hard.'

'Huh? WTF WHY IS MY MANA AND HP SO HIGH?'
[It is because Player has tweaked his Meridian causing the total amount of Mana/Energy to be higher, and by tweaking Player Organ's his HP naturally increased, as well as Mana/Energy, and HP Regeneration.]
[Please Choose A Name]
"I choose Stick Emperor" stated Tang Yao without wasting a second.
[Name has been Set, Please choose a Class]
"I choose Stick Man" said Tang Yao again without hesitation.

{Woosh}
Seconds later a white beam of light from the Sky descended into a rural village.
[Welcome Stick Emperor To Village #1337 of the Virdian Kingdom]

'Well that is a pleasant surprise' though Tang Yao, though isn't this a bit to OP? Whatever I need as much as I can get. Let's see im in Village 1337 shouldn't there be a quest giver somewhere? Let me ask around the village?
"Hey you Old Man, do you need any help in this village?" shouted Tang Yao from the distance
"Old Man?! What are you saying, I'm still in my late youths." rebuked the Old Man in the Distance.
"..."
'Late Youths, wtf is this old man saying' wondered Tang Yao. Running towards the Old Man in the distance.
"Well there is something you can help me with. But, I don't know if you are ready for it." smirked the old man while patting Tang Yao's head.
'Wtf is this old man doing, it's getting creepy, maybe I should ask someone else. But then again, this old man seems like he knows some information.' Tang Yao was still thinking about whether this old man was reliable or not, when he suddenly started walking off again. 'Wtf is wrong with this old dude, I didn't even spend a second thinking before he started walking away again.'
"WAIT UP, WAIT UP, FUCK, I'LL DO THE QUEST!"
"Oh so you do want to accept the quest. I thought you were to scared to help this 'poor old man' out." said the Old Man.
'Fuck me, this guy is really getting on my nerves.' silently cursed Tang Yao, "Yes! I'll accept the quest to help you, so hurry up and give it to me!."
"Alright, Alright youngsters these days, can't be patient for a couple of moments"
"..." Tang Yao wanted to cough out blood, hearing those words.
"What I want you to do is simple, going into the woods, and clear out the wolves living there. They are always coming to our village and eating our livestock, if this goes on any farther, we might starve to death."
[Ding - Quest Created, Help the Weird Old Man Out]
[Kill 20 Wolves 0/20]
[Difficulty B-]
[Reward - 200 exp. 10 copper coins]
[Failure - N/A]
"Alright, don't worry Old Man, I will be sure to kill all the Wolves around the village." replied Tang Yao before running off, as fast as he can. He did not want to stay another second near that Old Man.
'This is a pretty good time to see what the system gave me'
