Beginner

A huge building with a luxurious outside, had an inside.

Indoors, there were many people who sat in front of computers typing away and speaking.

A logo that was shaped like a diamond-shape facing up and a diamond-shape facing sideways.

It was the company who made the game called 'Aeconia Online'.

'Mondia.'

Suddenly, inside the building, a red alarm sounded.

B. e-Beep!—

"Huh? What was that?"

Many employees looked around from the alarm sound.

The large digital screen at the front of the room showed a large text.

'The tutorials best record has been broken!'

'Displaying recording..'

Inside the video footage..

Was me.

I was in stance for a few seconds before finishing off the goblin quickly.

'Reaction Time: 148 milliseconds'

"What?"

A man's voice trembled in shock at the time as he walked into the room.

He had brown hair, eyes and a barely grown beard.

He held a coffee cup in his hand while wearing his plain office uniform.

"Manager!"

A red-haired woman speed-walked to the man with a serious face.

"This is the fastest recorded time in the tutorial! This.. this is extraordinary!"

She spoke with amazement, barely able to speak.

"Yes Holly, I know. Even a talented gamer can only react at one-hundred and fifty milliseconds. And this guy.."

"Huuu.."

The manager tried to control himself.

'He managed to do this in the tutorial..'

He regained his composure and spoke firmly.

"Huwa, monitor this player.. we cannot let anyone else find out about him."

"Yes, sir!"

She replied as the manager began travelling out of the room.

'This guy.. just who is he?'

The manager thought.

I close the screen and just in time, see the game panel appear.

「 Congratulations. You have overcome the tutorial. 」

「 To display your stats, say 'Status window' 」

「 To view your items, say 'Inventory' 」

「 You are now free to explore the world of Armenia! 」

The white void gradually began to fade away as my body also slowly began vanishing.

"I guess I'm finally starting."

「 Wish you the best of luck on your journey... 」

"Thank you.."

.

Wrrroooop!—

I teleport into a city.

The city wasn't modern and definitely dated back centuries ago.

Many crowds of people walked around.

There was a market, houses and children.

It was very lively to say the least.

"This place is massive.."

I began placing my foot forward to walk.

What I needed was to go into a beginner hunting area.

Then only could I level up and get stronger.

"Now, where was it.."

I walked down the lively streets until I saw a wooden arrow sign,

—'Beginner hunting area'

There.

"Found you."

I followed the signs, paths and roads until my foot felt the feel of grass instead of stone.

It only took a few more seconds for me to find people in a grassy area surrounded by a forest.

Slimes.

That was what they were fighting.

A lot of them working together in parties.

"Should I get a party..?"

'It would be a good choice since it would be faster..'

But for this? A beginner area?

No chance.

Why would I need to worry about slimes? Especially, at the first level.

"Now.."

CEICJIEIE...

"Huh?"
