1 Geralt of Rivia?

On a river bank inside the forest full of trees, when a hot sun is right above the head, there was a man wearing dark brown medium light armor with heigh 185cm, double swords on its back with lion head shape pommel conjuring fire from his left hand while shouting and laughing happily.

"Woaaah! Hahaha…this is so real, man! This grasses, trees, clouds, and fire textures are superb. I can even know how to make signs with my hands?! making potions and all?! It's just like all the information is already in my head. Whoever make this VR Helmet is truly genius! Genius I say! Hahahahaha" the man says excitedly while conjuring fire again and continue burning the closest tree.

[igni]

"Woawoah! Hahahaha…The best! I can even feel the air temperature slightly rose and smells burning tree. Wait, even my voice is change? …I AM GROOT! Hahahaha, cool! I'm really satisfied, I will give them 5-no Millions stars rating for this VR Helmet! Let's try another sign!"

[aard]

The man make a sign with his left hand again and put out the fire that raging over tree instantly. He also try alternate [aard sweep] sign to blast everything around him within 3 yards radius. He feels the ground was shaking and tall grasses around him are nearly flatten to the ground because of shock wave. He also tries to pointing his hand towards the river and blasting the water ahead.

"Fiuuh~ that really satisfying!" He is grinning happily while looking at his works, then he look at his both hands and said "I feel power right in my grasp"

"By the way where I can find the HUD bar? Maybe it will come when in combat mode? Forget it, first I want to see what this face looks like…" The man then looked up at river ahead of him and walk forward. When he arrive right at the edge, he can see a young face with shoulder-length white hair, stubble white beard, scar across the left eye, slit pupils like cat.

The man then touch the scar on his face slowly and said "Man, this is really younger face Geralt of Rivia. It's the same with one of mods that I install. And this feeling of touch….is really natural, unbelievable. And this legendary Manticore armor is really comfortable by the way. Maybe their company has unravel secret about nerve connection? I hope when i fight with monsters later won't feel much hurt, but that impossible! If the player feels too much hurt, then this VR Helmet won't sell. Government will not approve and will ban it immediately. Anyway, let's continue with another sign again!"

When the man wants to move his left hand to make another sign, he suddenly remembering something and said "Wait, how many mods do I install again? Hmmm let me think….

Exchange Geralt face skin texture with Ciri's, but without eyeliner and maintain his original scars.

Turn Geralt into an actual warlock when equipped magical items and I set the magic consumption to 0. There are 25 magical items inside my inventory and I'm equip 5 of them:

1. [Magical Doll]

2. [Tome of Assassins Bless]

3. [Scroll of Beauty]

4. [The Sword Ring]

5. [Book of Void]

Modify movement speed when enter combat mode. If I'm not mistaken my combat speed movement will increase 35% per adrenaline point.

Activate all 70 Abilities instantly. What I remember the most are Razor Focus and Undying; I won't die as long there is adrenaline point to exchange with full vitality in combat mode. Oh and Deflect Arrow, Lightning Reflexes will make time slowed down when I focus to aim all kind of projectile attack. Also [quen] Quen Discharge that reflects 25% attack, [igni] Melt Armor, and Gourmet that will speed up my Vitality regeneration whenever I eat.

Regenerate stamina and vitality 1000x more fast than average Witcher.

OP Aerondight silver sword with additional damage +999 armor piercing, +99% Adrenaline gain, +99% chance to dismember, +99% chance to cause burning, +99% chance to cause bleeding, +99% chance to stun, +99% chance to stagger, indestructible and drain enemy vitality to heal user. It is literally strongest cursed sword and death sentence for my enemy. Hahahaha!

OP Deireadh steel sword with 500 armor piercing, 100% chance to dismember, 100% chance to cause bleeding, 100% chance to poison, 100% chance to stun. It's more "humble" than Aerondight, but still it will kill! Hahahaha!"

While the man tries to remember all his mods, there are flash of his past memory. "I remember when I still high school student, then my friends look how I play The Witcher 3 while sneering he says "Heh! You are cheater, there's no fun if you play like that". And I just throw him smile and says in my own hearth "Fuck with this cheater thing! I play however I like! If I don't have fun, then I won't play this game right now!" and when all the quests has been completed I continue to spawn All armors, swords, and items in the game. When I had fun with all the items, I sold almost all of it, but keep important item like Gaunter O'Dimm rewards: Caparison of Lament (special saddle), Horn of Plenty (endless food), Bottomless Carafe (endless alcohol for alchemy). And yeah, my money is more than 1 million crowns! Don't like it? Bite me then!"

"OK, enough of it, let's continue with magic showcase before we start a new game! Hahahaha! I don't know if I can destroy this tree in this VR game, let's try it!" with that said he make pose to conjure spell from one of magical item [Magical Doll]. He make [igni] sign to conjure burst of fire pillar from the ground and burn tree from bottom to top instantly. He make [aard] sign to conjure shockwave blade and cut two big tree cleanly with it. He make [quen] sign to conjure red lightning to destroy a tree trunk and then make floating red lightning sphere to destroy several trees around him. He make [yrden] sign to conjure purple lightning with his both hand and also destroy several tree. He make [axii] sign to conjure spear to attack mind, it's shoot pass the tree like illusion.

"Wow! This conjured spell from item [Magical Doll] is enough to destroy 50cm thick tree! But all this information about magic and how to use it in my head it's really weird. How can they transfer it instantly to me? Can VR helmet also read and erase my memory too? Bah…forget it, I am not that important person anyway. Let's try another magic then"

The man wants to try conjuring one of spells from [Tome of Quileg Pyromancy] that already recorded in [Book of Void]. [Book of Void] can record 10 selected spells from all the magical items. The spells on [Book of Void] can be changed whenever he like.

"This time I will try the big one! hehehehe"

[Fire Vortex]

When he finished make a sign, instantly there is raging fire tornado about 10 meters wide and 30 meters tall sucking all of air front of him. All the fallen and destroyed tree below are sucked fast by the fire tornado. He also feels his body sucked and immediately run away with haste from where he standing previously.

"That was close, man! Hahaha…really this spell is too strong! I need to cast it as far as possible. Let's try it with different spell!"

[Rimrgand's Mouth]

Instantly there is raging blue tornado as big as [Fire Vortex] and counter it. This blue tornado is like raging blizzard sucking and freezing anything in his path including burning fire from [Fire Vortex] aftermath. The two spells are colliding and canceling each other until it's disappeared.

"Wow! 100% LEGITNESS! Let's try spell from [The Sword Ring] next!"

The man draw his legendary Manticore steel sword on his back, then cast [igni] via [The Sword Ring] in his finger to bestow his sword with additional fire effect. He stroked the sword with his [The Sword Ring] finger along the blade. The sword instantly ignited with red fire, then he immediately run toward nearby tree and slash it. The tree is cut cleanly without any resistant. The man satisfied with it and continue to cut the tree around him indiscriminately. Within 15 minutes there is loud sound of many fallen and destroyed tree that become his target practice. The animals around that area are already running away, but he still continue to cut the tree without realizing it.

1 km from forest river bank, there is someone who was wearing dark tunic with heigh 175 cm, leather belt, and worn leather shoes. He has black hair, black beard, light brown skin, a square face, and big sharp eyes. His name is Jayus, a 30 years old local hunter. He held a bow and arrow in each hand while quiver bag in his back. He walked slowly, carefully, sneaking toward the deer that was eating grass in front of him. When he was 70 meters away from the deer, he stopped and fully drew his bow. When he was about to release his arrow, suddenly there was a loud sound of falling trees repeatedly. The deer who was eating grass in front of him was shocked and ran away with haste.

Jayus, who was also shocked, spontaneously looked toward the source of the sound. He felt curious about this phenomenon and decided slowly ran towards the source. When he had run about 200 meters, he saw a pillar of fire like raging tornado rising from the distance, and after that was followed by a raging blue pillar of blizzard. The sky briefly darkened as many of birds flew away from the area.

"For the sake of Black Goat! what the hell is that?!... No, I-I need to run from here!" he stunned and scared at the same time and know that is bad omen. He wanted to quickly get out of this forest and turn away immediately without looking back then run with his full strength. As he was running away, he heard the sound of animal horde behind him running in one direction. Zorses, wild boars, deer, and little valyrians seemed to be compete with each other to run away from the place.

After 15 minutes of non-stop running Jayus finally ran out of energy and wanted to take a short break. He stopped and leaned his back against a large tree while taking a deep breath.

"Huuuf~Man that-that was scary, I-I didn't think will-will encounter something like that…." when he slowly recovering his energy, out of nowhere he heard growling sound from the left and back. When he turned around, he was surprised to see a pack of hungry wolves looking at him.

"Oh…shit! what-what have I done…I-I just want to…to make a living with hunting… " he slowly retreat, draw his bow and aim it to the nearest wolf with intimidating pose.

"…Easy there big guy! My flesh taste very bad…" The closest wolf was not intimidated by Jayus at all but gradually approached and then pounced on him suddenly. With Jayus good archery skill he immediately release the arrow and stuck right between the wolf's eyes, killed it instantly. The other wolfs start to run at him simultaneously, Jayus start to panic and wildly swinging his bow to keep pack of wolf at bay.

"….Go! Get away from me!" Jayus shout loudly and try to run, but cannot outrun the pack of wolf that built to hunt. Not long after, he surrounded by wolfs and don't have any way to escape, so he shout for help as loud as he can. "HELP! HELP ME! SOMEONE!!!" The pack of wolfs start to attack together, bit him in the leg and try to drag him to the ground but Jayus keep resisting while swinging his bow and draw his short hunting knife to stab.

Meanwhile the man who cause commotion in the forest is still continue forward swinging, slashing his enchanted sword happily without obstruction.

"Heah!"

"Yeah!"

"Blast off!"

"You're going down!"

"I am the bone of my sword…"

He stop walk suddenly and slowly pull his fire enchanted sword up and then within few breath stop his movement and slowly close his eyes. A moment later he instantly open his eyes and with all his might he slash his fire enchanted sword vertically toward the ground and then he shouted out loud

"EXCALIBUUUUUUUUUUUUR...…"

The tip of the sword had already sink into the ground but there was immediately followed by a burning trail fierce fiery wind that cut everything in front of him 10 meters away.

"Fuuuh~ And that is really epic move! Satisfying! Hahaha. W-wait what's that sound? I faintly hearing someone say help?" without much thought he try to focus his Witcher sense subconsciously and finally he can hear it.

"Yes! Hail Witcher sense! That is someone shouting for help! Is that new quest? Because if I remember correctly my latest saved game has already complete all the quest. Forget it, let's track it" He immediately run toward the sound with all his might. With his super regenerative abilities he doesn't feel tired at all even his breath remains normal. Within 5 minutes later he can see that a man is attacked by pack of wolf. Without further ado he immediately jump and slash toward the nearest wolf neck killing it instantly. The pack of wolf immediately stop attacking Jayus and turned their attention to the newcomer.

"C'mon!" the newcomer try lure them and taunt all the wolf so they can attack him together. The taunt is working and all the wolf immediately surround him and pounce simultaneously.

[aard]

*Boom*

"W-What…" Jayus feel sweep of air toward him while looking stunned at the white hair man who cast some kind of magic and all the wolfs around him instantly knocked down motionless on the ground and cannot get up.

"Huuu~ that was quite nostalgic! How many years I have not play this game? 2 or 3 years maybe? I must praise this VR again, it's feels 100% real. Even the smells of blood are…" The white haired man said with his deep voice while proceed to stab the wolfs in the hearth one by one. After he finished killing all his victims he glanced at Jayus, but Jayus just stood there shocked with all what he sees.

"Hey man, are you lagging? Broken NPC? Hello, do you have another quest?" The white haired man walking slowly toward Jayus.

Jayus just stood there looking at him closely and he can see that the white haired man has peculiar slit magical eyes and thinking in his mind 'like…Snake? But Magic? … No, Dragon!'

"…Dra-dragon…" Jayus muttering slowly while looking at white haired man eyes that has already squatting in front of his face.

*slap* "Hey! Wake up man! What dragon? Quest, remember?!" The white haired man slap Jayus in the cheek and start talking to him again.

Jayus who got slapped immediately sober up and talk timidly "I-I'm sorry this…Lord…"

"Okay, okay, c'mon get up first." The white haired man pull Jayus hand so he can stand up properly.

"T-Thank you my lord, for-for helping me" Jayus who is already stand doesn't dare to look at white haired man face directly.

"Let's cut the chase here, so where is my reward?" ask the white haired man, but Jayus just stood still with no respond "No reward? Then do you have any quest for me? Because I don't receive any notification"

"Q-Quest? I-I'm sorry my lord. I-I don't understand..." Jayus doesn't know what this white haired "Dragon" talk about began to feel uneasy.

'Okay, that was unexpected respond. Usually when I help NPC they will give some reward, quest, or discount when I trade with them. This NPC conversation become much more immersive I see, I need to note and report it later because there is no notification for reward or quest at all. But this NPC still stand here so maybe I have already trigger the quest? Let's try another basic question then' The white haired man just looking at Jayus while he himself feeling puzzle.

"Right, what is your name? and what are you doing here?"

"…My-my name is J-Jayus my lord. I-I hunter, hunting in this f-forest"

"…Ok, Jayus my name is Geralt, Geralt of Rivia. You might already know my job, don't you?!"

"My lord j-job? I-I am sorry…" Jayus feel more nervous when the white haired "dragon" is talking about his job that he doesn't know.

"Just call me Geralt, but Seriously?! Killing monsters, hire for coin, mutated human,… still don't know? With this pair eyes of mine?" Geralt blinked pointing toward his eyes and felt more confuse by this conversation that going nowhere. 'is this still The Witcher game I know? Forget it, let go with the flow' he thought. He was slighly annoyed and could only take a deep breath.

"…Your l-lord Geralt eyes? I-I'm sorry for my-my ignorant…p-please forgive me my lord!" Jayus peek at Geralt eyes but immediately droop his head again and suddenly kneel, afraid that he will be punished by this "dragon". Jayus is misinterpreted Geralt reaction, he think Geralt angry for not being recognized.

Geralt stunned looking at Jayus reaction, he just shake his head 'okay, this lord and kneeling thing make me cringe. This talk is useless, let's change the topic then'

"… Ahem-so Jayus, you are hunter in this forest right? were you sold the game you hunt or you consume it for yourself? By the way stop kneeling and get up. Just call me Geralt or master Witcher but without lord, okay"

"T-tank you for your grace my lor-I mean master Witcher" Jayus immediately get up but doesn't dare to call "dragon" by the name directly and continue said "I-ahem usually sold my game to, to the market, Inn or tavern"

"So there are town nearby right?"

"O-of course master Witcher, is there anything I can help with?"

'now just right, the conversation are progressing' Geralt thought and say "Yeah, I want to go to the town and sell this pack of wolves"

"If you want to go to town I can be your guide master Witcher"

"That's good, but before that I need to loot this bunch of wolves first." Geralt approached the closest carcass and stood there while moving his hand. He try to pet, kick even raise it like his beloved child but the carcass is still there unchanged and finally say "Damn! how can I loot it. I can't add this wolf skin and meat to the inventory? By the way I don't even know how to open inventory!" suddenly he can see popup [inventory] tab in front of his eyes and his eyes brightened immediately. There are various item displayed in front of him like swords, armors, potions, books, foods, and many more just like he remember in the last game he played.

"So, how do I add this carcass, just touch it? Oooh it finally enter! but why the carcass is still intact? it seems [inventory] in this game cannot separate the meat and skin, whatever just put all inside first" Geralt start to touch and all the carcass of wolves.

"There! Finally done. Hey Jayus, stop daydreaming and let's go to the town!"

Jayus gawking to see the carcasses of all the wolves disappearing one by one with simple touch. He finally sober when Geralt urging him to move.

"Y-yes master Witcher! Follow me, please."

They start to walk toward the town with slightly limping Jayus in the lead, Geralt who look at his condition not feeling sympathetic at all because he think still in the game. Jayus want to start a conversation with Geralt along the way, but looking the latter impatient face Jayus doesn't dare to utter single word.

When they finally arrive in the edge of forest 2 hour later, they can see a medieval city surrounded by the tall wall with yellow in color. In the center of the wall, there is massive gate which was guarded by some soldiers wielding a spear and a black shield in each hand, there is a lot of people queuing up. They enter and exit through the gate carrying various kinds of goods.

Geralt who saw the spectacle in front of him was amazed. "Woow! It's like kind of old middle east kingdom in Aladdin movie. Is there new DLC expansion included when I install VR Helmet driver? Cool! Hey Jayus, what is the name of this town?"

"Master Witcher, this town name is free city of Qohor" Jayus slightly smile when he answer Geralt question while ignore the first sentence question that he doesn't even understand. We can see that he is proud about his home.

"Kohor? That sound rings a bell, I feel like I've heard somewhere…Game of Thrones? Hahaha. Forget it, let's move faster!"

"Yes master Witcher! By the way it's Qohor not Kohor…"

"Yeah, yeah whatever…"

Geralt who feel impatient to look inside and want to experience this "new DLC" first before starting a new game immediately walked with wide and fast strides. When he arrive exactly at the front gate he observe the gatekeeper that wearing full face black leather helmet, black leather armor, round shield, and spear.

"Hahahaha…really, that's plagiarism right there! Maybe they are eunuch too?! hahaha" Geralt stop walking in front of the gate laughing while pointing his finger toward gatekeepers. The people who are queueing there give him strange look.

Jayus who look puzzle at Geralt and didn't know why he is laughing finally ask "What's wrong master Witcher? Is there something wrong with the gatekeeper?"

"Pffft…No, nothing but hey, Jayus, don't tell me that all the gatekeeper are unsullied?!"

"…Yes, they are unsullied"

"…huh! W-What did you say?" Geralt's smile froze while slowly glance at Jayus like robot.

"They are unsullied army master Witcher, just as you said"

"What?! Impossible! Qohor…free city…usullied…No, no this is nonsense" Geralt shocked and began to panic. He want to dismiss anything in his mind right now and prove that he is wrong.

"Log out! Main Menu! Sign Out! Turn Off! Log Off! ALT+F4! SHUT DOWN!" he start to shout and move his hand left and right but there is no windows that pop up, no reaction whatsoever. The people who are queueing there began to stay away from him and the wary Gatekeeper ready prepare his spear to stab at any time.

"Hey! Jayus?! Is that your friend? Don't make trouble here! I warn you!" The Gatekeeper Chief who is busy taking care of entry permits and entrance taxes, look at Jayus who is talking to the "mad" white haired man.

"Y-yes! I'm sorry Chief, we had a bad day encountering pack of wolf in the forest" Jayus said while looking warily at Geralt "W-what the matter Master Witcher?! Calm-calm down…please…everybody is watching you" he try to calm Geralt down who bowing his head while swinging his hand weirdly.

"Calm down…calm down master Witcher"

"Huuufff~ wooosaaaah~"

A few moment later Geralt already collect his mind together. He take quick glance at people around who are looking at him warily. Geralt summon his [inventory] windows and suddenly he held a black eyeglass with round frame in his hand without people noticing then wear it immediately. He look up at the sky while inhale a deep breath and say

"i.am.fucked"
