2 Chapter 1
-Morning 10:50 AM-
Finally, today is the day ARCH will be released. Yuuichi started his day by picking up his VR gear from the locker near his apartment. Yesterday night he had already bought groceries and researched on how to set up the VR system. 'So it will automatically scan the first user and binds it huh'
Since the user soul is the password, there's almost no way of getting hacked by someone else. Furthermore, ARCH doesn't allow the user to customize their character, instead the body that they generate will be based on our soul. An obese person might get a healthier body, while a disabled person will even be able to regain their senses inside the game.
'Alright, server will open in 10 minutes, I guess I should start scanning and wait for the server opening count down later' He thought while putting on his new VR gear.
"Starting full body scan" a voice from the VR system prompts. He kept calm and waited for about 30 seconds until the scan was done.
"Scan completed"
Yuuichi then opens ARCH which was already installed in the game system.
"Welcome to ARCH"
Yuuichi heard the voice of the system and find himself in a pure white room.
"Please start creating character" following this voice, a screen that shows his whole body shows up in front of him.
Yuuichi inspect his character appearance. He's amazed with how similar it is to his real body, a normal guy with a skinny build and a height of 170 cm, plain black hair, and above average face.Finally, it reached the character name. 'Hmm I guess I'll go with this' "Frey"
"Registering name as Frey"
"Character creation completed please proceed to the next step" all of a sudden a new panel showing all of his stat appeared.

"As a chosen player you're qualified for a special reward"

'Oh I really do get a reward' seems like the message from last night wasn't a scam. I wonder how many people actually get this reward. I might actually be able to start making money from this game later on.

'Wow these skills are... OP, is the game even balanced if someone can receive this much of an advantage just from a reward pack. Just the stat growth bonus will make me 30% stronger than the average player, but it also has bonus stat point and exp !' That equipment bonus and immunity is also crazy, at this point I don't think I need any skill to reach the top. "No, no wait... if I get this from a starting reward, then there must also be other people that received similar reward" in that case I must make use of this advantage as much as possible.
"Hmm...did my hair just got longer" His previously short hair was now at shoulder length, and his skin also become paler and cleaner. there were also some changes to his facial features, however it went unnoticed by Yuuichi. "Was it because of the skill" It's not a big difference anyway, I should be thinking on how to maximize these op skills instead.
And the last skill gave me +100 Luck, I wonder how luck works in this game. Maybe it will increase rare item drop rate ? Yuuchi, now Frey thought to himself.
Because the game has just been released, there is practically no information regarding the best stat for each class, or any kind of build. He'll have to figure it out all by himself.
"Do you want to teleport to the starting village" the system voice surprised Frey who was deep in thought.
"Ah, yes"
"Teleporting to the nearest starting village"
-around the same time the server opened-
"Please enter character name"
"Lysanna" a pretty voice can be heard, and the source is this beautiful brown haired girl. She looked to be around 165 cm with pale white skin, and a pair of eyes which was filled with pure kindness. Her name is Ellie Han, the girl that the high goddess had chosen to give her blessing to, but was instead sent to Yuuichi due to a small mistake.
"Character creation completed please proceed to the next step" a new panel filled with stat appeared before her.
