1 (1) New world

'Where am I?' Jake tried to open his heavy eyes with all his strength.

He could feel the blowing wind hitting his face as he slowly opened his eyes realizing he was in a forest.

Jake slowly tilted his head sideways to only encounter trees and bushes. His body felt heavy, he couldn't move an inch. It was even hard for him to move his lips.

'My latest memories were that the radioactive meteorite hit the planet, and then my memories are blurry..."

Jake is a high schooler of 17 years who use to live in Toronto, Canada. The planet earth was awaiting a special guest from space.

Scientists would say that the radioactive meteorite was not going to destroy the earth but would play with the balance of the dimensions once it hit the earth.

'Wait, does that mean scientists were right? Am I really on another earth?' Jake tried with all his power to stand up.

He started by lifting his right arms and slowly turned face to the ground. He then used his arm to pull up and lift himself in a kneeling position. Now that he was kneeling, he tried to lift his leg and put it on the ground.

However, at the moment he wanted to lift himself, he fell to the ground looking at the soy once again.

'Why can't I move!?' Jake started to get frustrated and continued trying to move several times.

He spent 30 minutes on the floor unable to move until a blue tab appeared right in front of Jake.

[Do you wish to claim this body?

Refusal will result in instant death

You have 10 seconds]

'What is this?'

Jake looked at the tab with wide eyes wondering what the meaning of this message was.

"Y~Yes I accept," Jake said.

Immediately after another message appeared.

[Congratulations you are now a player of RPG online, you are currently a white elf in the kingdom of Estoria, the kingdom of elves, ]

Jake tried to stand up once again, and unlike before, he could now easily control his body.

"My body... it feels so light,"

Jake visualised his arm, legs and chest, and he looked a bit more muscular than in his previous life.

"Grayson!"

A woman's voice came from behind Jake. When he turned around, a young girl of about 18 years old with pointy ears, and blue hair halted at him with her hands on her hips, and her head slightly forward

"Always doing nothing with your day! No wonder you are the weakest of the guild!"

Jake looked at her for a second with a confused expression.

"Who are you?"

Jake's question just infuriated the girl as she walked in a menacing stance towards Jake.

"Don't you play dumb with me!"

The girl charged her fist and it started to glow blue as she punched Jake in the stomach propelling him backwards and hitting a tree.

"Argh!"

Jake grunted in pain once he was on the ground. He held his belly in pain as he stood back up.

"What was that for!"

"Come on, Captain Kirkwood is looking for you, he needs you to deliver a message to the green elves..."

'The green elves? I suppose that is another kingdom.'

Jake supposed that Grayson was his new name in this new world. The woman walked back into the forest and Jack followed her.

They walked through the woods and even encountered magical beasts such as danger boars and metal jawed bears.

During the many encounters, Jake learnt a lot of things.

First, he was very weak, every time a boar would hit him once, his health bar would go down by half.

Secondly, the girl was named Elaine and she was a healer.

Lastly, there were crystals on top of the beasts. If a beast is a high class, it turns red, if a beast is an intermediate class, it turns orange, if a beast is low class, it turns yellow, and if a beast is a lower class, the crystal turns green.

"Finally we've arrived!"

Once Jake and Elaine got out of the forest, they were walking on a path made of gravel and in front of them was a gate to a marvellous and big building.

"It's gigantic!" Jake exclaimed.

"Stop acting as you've never seen the guild's headquarters! You're acting weird since I found you in the forest!"

Elaine lifted her first and pointed it in Jake's direction. Jake lifted his arms and smiled at her to assure her that everything was ok.

"Hey, don't worry, I'm fine, it always gives me that sensation when I see the guild's headquarters..."

When they reached the gate, a system scanned them from top to bottom and granted them access.

[Access granted to Grayson Hodergard and Elaine Filbuster]

The gate opened, and they entered the guild's headquarters. Once they entered the building, there were more than 10 people in the hall.

Elaine walked to an elf carrying heavy charges to ask where Captain Kirkwood was.

"Captain Kirkwood?" the elf said trying to remember where he last saw him, "Oh, I saw him in the medical quarters!"

Elaine thanked the elf and quickly walked to the medical quarters. We went back outside, and into another building which seemed much bigger.

The writing on the panel on top of the entrance was saying "Medical quarters". As soon as they entered, they saw an old man with a knight's suit on and a sword heading to the entrance.

" Captain, here he is!"

"Ah! Grayson, where were you, I've been looking for you everywhere! Anyways, follow me, I've got a quest for you,"

Once again, he made me follow him to his office which was all basic with a desk, but the lights weren't normal. It was like the lights were created through some kind of crystal.

"Alright, I'll send you the mission right now. It's simple, all you have to do is transport a message to the King of the green elf, I would like to build a small fort in his kingdom to expand our territory beyond our land,"

Suddenly, he pressed his chest, and a tab appeared right in front of him. He clicked many buttons until Jake received a message.

A message icon appeared, and Jake clicked on it.

[Do you accept this mission?]

Jake clicked yes, and a scroll appeared in front of him.

"It would be wise if you go now, you can choose any horse you want, just come back by after tomorrow,"

Captain Kirkwood then gestured for Jake to leave the office.

'I don't understand this world... Did I dream, or did that dude summon the same tab as I have?'

Jake tried to imitate the Captain and pressed his chest. The blue tab appeared as well but this time at the menu.

Jason saw the stats icon, the quest Icon, the message icon and also the tutorial icon.

'Tutorial icon? That's something I need right now...'
