2 Game Introduction
When he pressed the green button, the VR helmet emitted distorted lights that appeared to be rapidly approaching him. Furthermore, he made him vigorously close his eyes while he felt someone pinching his head.
Bam!
His feet were gently landed on the surface, and his dazzled vision was restored.
To begin, a young man with silky black hair opened his eyes slowly and was taken aback by the blue view screen that emerged in front of him.
[Welcome to the Adventurer System!]
"?"
Yumiro was perplexed by the situation, and his gaze wandered aimlessly. As he sought an answer to the questions that had pierced his consciousness.
"Eh? I'm not sure where this location is."
Yumiro was well aware that he was in the midst of a massive green forest. The gentle air caressed his skin, and the bright yellow sun shone brightly in his eyes. Despite this, he was unable to locate it.
Yumiro did not receive the exact response he desired. As a result, he decided to take a stroll across the gleaming green meadows.
"Eh? Where exactly is this place?"
It took a few moments for Yumiro to notice that something was wrong with his body.
"Wait a minute..."
He barely bowed his head when he noticed his legs were resuming normal function.
"N-No, h-how is that even possible? Why was I suddenly able to feel my legs...?"
With his bright eyes, the young man looked up at the brilliant blue sky. He couldn't think of a way to communicate the overwhelming joy that was spilling from his chest.
"Harley Blun" is the primary creator of the Adventurer System. He had a sick child, which was the primary motivation for him to create a new world. There would be no diseases, sickness, or agony, and no one would suffer.
<00:04 >
<00:03 >
"A timer?" He asked himself once again after seeing the countdown in front of him.
<00:02 >
<00:01 >
<00:00 >
[The trial expired, you will be teleported at the character registration!]
"And now, what?"
Swoosh!
The huge green woodland appeared to be nothing more than a learning lesson for the new gamer. To see if his console or the virtual reality world they're in has any problems that the moderators might simply remedy.
His existence vanished from the jungle as soon as the countdown reached zero. And took him to a location where he had no prior knowledge.
"Can you tell me where I am?"
Yumiro noticed he was floating in the eternal blackness, surrounded by flickering white lights, at this point. Simply put, the entire site resembled a galaxy.
And then, out of nowhere, he furrowed his brows as he saw a golden light that appeared like a shooting star going straight for him.
"What's that?" He said with a clueless tone.
As soon as the bright light arrived at his current place. It made a popping noise, which eventually disclosed its identity.
"Oh..." He patted his head slowly, avoiding a peek at the petite woman dressed in revealing clothing.
But it's impossible to avoid it since the woman's whirling about was like dancing in the air, with dazzling particles gently falling off her body.
"Hohohohohohohohohoho Is there a new adventurer on the way? Now is the time to rejoice, for a great spirit such as myself will assess your abilities." The spirit stated confidently.
After hearing what she said, he already had a mental image of the woman's creature, which was the same size as his index finger. But on the other hand, Yumiro was unconcerned.
"Eh? What exactly is she saying? Her head appeared to be barely stroked by a metal bat?" He spoke something to himself.
By simply looking at the young man's face, the spirits scarcely raised his brows, as she understood precisely what he was thinking.
"You doubted my abilities? Why don't you put it to the test?" The spirit clenched her teeth and then radiated a powerful golden glow across her body. Yumiro was a little tense because of that.
He gently shook his head and his hands. "No, no, no, no, That was not my intention. I'm just stunned that you materialized in front of me out of nowhere, and this is also the first time I've seen a monster like you." With a chilly tone, he explained.
"Hmph! Let's get started so you can leave this precious place!" The golden spirit's adenoidal response.
"Come again? Proceed from what?" He said with a solemn expression.
"Isn't this self-evident? We'll move on to your character assessment? So stop bothering me with more questions, you've already ruined my day. Hurry! Bring yourself closer to me." The spirit spoke to him in a commanding tone.
Yumiro was completely unaware of the situation. He drew closer to her, though.
The spirit placed her tiny hands over Yumiro's head after a few moments. Her body abruptly emitted a sharp golden aura that easily enveloped Yumiro's.
A black wide-view screen appeared in front of his eyes.

"Choose a screen name that you'll use in this world. So you can quickly vanish from my sight." The golden spirit swiveled his head and added. "Keep in mind that you must use an appropriate name and avoid revealing your true name so that no one can discover your identity." Without looking at the adventurer's status, the spirit said.
In the real world, he was paralyzed in the lower half of his body for several years. That meant that some of his basic stats in the VR world were being influenced slightly.
"This is far preferable to losing feeling in my legs. But first, I should choose a screen name..." He kneaded his chin gently because he wanted to use a cool name. He also forgot that someone was waiting for him.
It took a few minutes for the golden spirit to lose her patience and realize she couldn't wait any longer for him.
"You're going to choose your screen name right now?! I'll cancel your character registration if you don't!" She reprimanded him, and her face moved closer to the young man. That made him feel a little uneasy.
"Please accept my apologies. But I guess I've already decided on a screen name. And the name is Grim Draigh..." He said in hushed tones, then a new tab flashed before his eyes.
[Character registration has been completed! You will be whisked away to the Asamiya Center!]
His existence vanished once more into the endless darkness.
"Jeez! I forgot to get his character evaluation." She shook his head as she murmured. "No, it's his fault; he made me angry with his arrogant behavior."
Swoosh!
....
Yumiro teleported to a new location, but he could barely keep his head up. "Tch! My mind..."
As soon as he regained his composure, he turned to face the ecstatic players wielding various types of weapons.
Furthermore, it appeared that all newly registered players teleported into this large area with high wall boundaries. To be more specific, they could only see the walls and the sky.
"Wow... That's massive..."
Yumiro was taken aback when he noticed a massive floating continent in the blue sky. On top of that, it had a tall tower inside. He was certain it was a tower because it was tall enough and pointed straight into the distance.
Pop!
A middle-aged man dressed in golden-plated armor and a red cape appeared out of nowhere, drawing the attention of all the newly registered players.
"Newcomers! Hello and welcome to the Adventurer System! I am the 12th NPC, Asamiya. I'm here to educate you all about the world." With a high tone, Asamiya said.
"An NPC, eh?" Yumiro murmured, then turned his full attention to the NPC, curious as to how this world actually works.
Asamiya had completed his introductions to those players. So he got right to the point of why he was here in the first place.
There are four fundamental goals in the world of virtual reality. The first goal is called "Dungeon," and it is the location where the adventurers must battle monsters in order to gain experience. Furthermore, the experience will help you to improve your overall physical strength.
The best section of the dungeon becomes better the more you've cleared it. The greater your chances of increasing your popularity and climbing on the Heaven's Dream Continent.
Asamiya raised his brows and pointed his index finger upwards. "That's where the brave adventurers lived."
What is the point of having a large following in this game? You'll just win the respect of the adventurers, and your strength as an adventurer will be determined as a result.
And then, out of nowhere, an adventurer raised his hand. It was a man dressed in a brown robe who stood in the front row.
"I simply want to explain something, Mr. Asamiya. Because I heard that if an adventurer is allowed to climb at Heaven's Dream, they will be able to bring one thing back to the real world. Is that correct?"
Asamiya gave a slight nod. "Yes, it is correct. However, if you successfully raid the legendary dungeon in Heaven's Dream, it will become more realistic."
Yumiro was halted for a few moments. If this NPC was telling the truth, he believed there was a chance he could find an item that would heal his legs. Nonetheless, he was unaware that he had already raised his hand out of curiosity.
"What's the matter, Grim Draigh?" Asamiya approached the young man and inquired. He was aware of his screen name because it had already shown over his head.
To did not squander the opportunity that had been handed to him. Yumiro inquired of the NPC right away. "I'm just curious whether there's anything here that can cure any disease in the actual world?"
"Yes, of course! There are many valuable things in this world. When your quest begins, you'll find out." Asamiya was the one who responded.
Yumiro greeted him with a smile and a look as if he wanted to inquire further. The NPC, on the other hand, just cut it out by darting his eyes in the opposite direction.
"Let me conclude my business here first before we move on to your inquiries." Asamiya realized that the atmosphere had begun to quiet down, he continued.
The monster's core and drop items are the second basic goal. These two are frequently used in this world to purchase an item or essential items that will aid adventurers on their expeditions.
What is the location of the monster's core and drop items? After killing the monster, you can find the core and sell it to earn a penny in this world. Slaying the monster also yielded the drop item. However, there is only a 40% chance that you will loot drop items, and the rarity of the drop is sometimes dependent on your luck.
Furthermore, this virtual reality game encourages all adventurers to earn real money by selling their dropped items to another adventurer who is willing to spend their money. However, the price still depends on the rarity of a particular item, but don't worry, the system will act as a middleman, ensuring that no one is duped.
Yumiro had a malicious grin on his face because this was the right time that he had been looking for far too long. Since the catastrophe at the Taekwondo World Cup. As Yumiro was unable to compete for the Academy, the Academy where Amiya was studying revoked her scholarship. It had to be his way of repaying his sister for the years he had been a burden to Amiya.
"I'll collect all of the game's uncommon things and sell them for a premium price."
"Guild" is the third fundamental goal. Guilds are in charge of assigning various quests to their guild members. And the quest's difficulty must be determined by the adventurer's ability.
Asamiya made a gesture with his index finger. "Because all adventurers are ineligible to join any guild. That is to say, following our conversation, the system will assign each of you to a forest or a non-risky dungeon so that everyone can gain experience." Asamiya took a brief pause as he recalled something. "Oi! Before I forget, the guild selection will take place in less than a month, so I recommend attempting to reach level 20 adventurer status in order to be considered for the Guild selection. In addition, I heard that the guild leaders hand-pick their new members."
All of the adventurers in the large room seemed to be looking for the guild selection. But one of them, Yumiro, was unconcerned about it.
The final section is named "Zexel," and it is a must-have for any adventurer. To put it another way, it's a specific adventurer's one-of-a-kind passive skill that can be found in the character's stats.
Furthermore, the zexel will be unlocked if you reach level 10 as an adventurer. Nonetheless, having the same zexel is unavoidable, therefore it's much better if you have a rare one.
Asamiya provided the adventurers with all of the necessary information. As a result, he cast his attention on the area, looking for potential adventurers.
"One, two, three... only three?" Asamiya sighed as the adventurer's potential dwindled with each passing day.
After a few moments, Asamiya stood up straight, his red cape flapping behind him. "Please, treat your character as if it were your own body; once you die, you will never resurrect again, even if you try to buy a new console."
Yumiro smoothed his chin. "Oh, I see using a different console is possible unless you don't mind dying in the VR World," he murmured.
One of the newcomers then raised his hand. "Do you think it's possible to have two Zexel?" The adventurer had enquired.
Asamiya gave a slight nod. "It's possible, but there's a slim probability, how should I put this... Let's pretend the rarity is 1 in 100 million." He responded.
Asamiya made a clapping motion with his hands. "Okay, before everyone departs, allow me to dispense some advice. You can be whatever you desire in this world, but only the strongest can live a life that exceeds your aspirations." He tried to click his finger, but something sprang to mind. "Oh, and I failed to mention that you had 10 potions in your inventory, which you can access by saying 'Inventory'. Okay, good luck, and have fun with your new life!"
Click!
"Wait a minute, I have a question..." Before he could ask why he had two Zexel, Asamiya had already clicked his fingers, sending them to the forest to gain some experience.
Swoosh!
...
Yumiro reappeared in the vast green forest, but the situation had changed. As a new monster in his eyes pursued him.
"What? Please give me a break!"
