I know it's a bit shaless, but I have a very odd question.
I was almost 100% sure that I had written about so sort of reward box for the mc to open in the Tutorial, but no matter how much I search, I cannot find it.
If you do rember reading about it, hit up, if not, then it's likely I removed it and simply do not rember doing so, and this is now plaguing my heart and mind.
The usual problems of a writer...
Overall, there will be 5 more chapters today, I'll be posting them one after the other.
Sa thing as before, if you can drop a power stone or leave a review, I appreciate it.
Thanks, enjoy.

"!"
Dale opened his eyes to see himself in a pure white room with no doors or windows.
A perfectly smooth box.
"Okay… Everything's good so far…" He said without panicking
"System check!" He said towards the air
And from the empty space, a voice replied:
[System Check: All systems nominal]
[Current body condition: Perfectly fine]
[Would you like to see the details?]
Dale shook his head, he knew very well his body would be fine no matter what happened…
He had long since stopped being Human.
'At first, I did little with the Green Box as even when I was given dication for hallucination, it did not disappear from my sight...'
'I always had the feeling that it wasn't so simple, that there was sothing extra about it... A secret it held... But I could not prove it, only suspect its purpose and connections to Azimuth and Elden Throne...'
'That continued until the day I learned by accident that my stats could increase by doing certain actions, that I could get stronger, faster, smarter, and more by putting in the right amount of effort in certain actions...'
'Seeing the numbers rise, seeing more Skills appear... Overcoming previously difficult challenges and going beyond them, setting new limits for myself.'
'My growth was so trendous that I saw myself quickly beating world records... 100 ters dash, bench press limit, fastest reaction ti... Everything...'
'It started with a small increase in body strength and soon it beca a body that can lift a car without much difficulty.'
'It was sothing that could only be achieved in my wildest dreams... Albeit, unfortunately, I did not learn how to fly.'
'I got addicted to this feeling. Especially when I started to realize I could grow stronger at an unimaginable speed… That was when my obsession with growth kicked off.'
'My body went beyond the Human limit and so did my learning speed... I beca the top of my Class and started to take University lightly... Not that I ever treated it seriously, to begin with.'
'I don't feel like a genius, or a talent unmatched under the heavens, I just feel as if morizing so things and patterns is simpler now.'
'I am well aware that if those people that were already born talented were given the Green box, then they might've been able to accomplish more, faster...'
'But this doesn't an I would humble myself too much either, I ca here with my own efforts, I bleed and sweated, the System never gave rewards for free, it just... Opened a way?'
'It sounds coincided, and perhaps it is, trying to explain yourself in any way and be proud of your progress despite the help you were given seems quite low, and that is why I never bragged... Too much at the very least.'
'I don't know where this ca from and why it latched onto , but I will make sure to unravel its secrets… Especially now that I am sure it ca from this ga.'
"I just have to wait, I've already used my token, there's nothing to fear."
'I don't really have many online accounts, but ever since my body started to grow stronger, I did make several accounts for different activities.'
'It would be too noticeable otherwise... And although I don't know who would seek out, better be careful then not.'
[You have received an Email from, Elden Throne]
"Oh? Open it!"
[Opening E-mail…]
A large wall of text suddenly appeared in the middle of the white blank room, before its size was reduced to around that of a piece of paper, allowing Dale to grab it without much trouble.
[Welco back Player Kindred Flamingo, it's been a year since our last talk
There isn't much to talk about since we, just like you, are extrely excited about this ga release and we need to make sure everything is running smoothly.
I hope you didn't forget what we talked about last ti… It's ti for you to enjoy your 10 minutes of exclusive gaplay!
We would like to ask you if it's possible for you to record it and send it to us so we can make a promotional Ad? Of course, send only what you wish, the contract will be linked with this email, take a look when you are ready.
Aside from that, there has been a long-pending question… Would you like to have your ga ID shown in the Hall of Fa?
We're also giving you the special Beta Tester Box! Check it out once you get inside the ga!
(I fucking found it, I am so proud...)
If you have any more questions, make sure to state them in your reply!
Graciously, Elden Throne.
]
"... Is this all?... I feel like they are playing with … Hall of fa... I almost forgot about it."
'I already planned on recording all of my gaplay, so that isn't an issue.'
'As for my ID… I can't, I already suffered from people getting on my ass when I played those competitive gas to raise so money, I don't want this to happen here too.'
Dale eventually formulated his reply and sent it to them, as for the contract, he planned to take a look at it after he was done with the Tutorial.
[You have received an Email from, Elden Throne]
"Instant reply?... Damn…"
[Hello once again! We read your reply and we would like to clarify so things.
Since the record was made during the Beta, it won't remain there forever, the mont soone else reaches the sa level, the record will be switched.
And also, since it's an already informal record, you may leave an alternate false na on the record, you may also change your ID for our ga if you so wish.
Albeit changing your in-ga ID after character creation is impossible under normal circumstances, it is still possible to use a persona for future public events if they allow for such.
Cheers! Elden Throne.

"Huh? That was pretty simple… And it has a completely different tone…"
"Was it written by soone else? Probably, a company has many workers after all…"
'Pretty simple then, I made this na in one day and I don't like it that much.'
Dale smiled, he knew what ID he wanted, and he accepted by leaving a proxy na on the Hall of Fa.
"What ti is it now?"
[14:06]
"Hum… I don't know much about contracts, but it would be a waste to leave it like this…"
Dale suddenly smiled.
"Open the chat with my Uncle Willian…"
"Send the contract to him… Yeah, thanks."
With a relaxed impression, Dale lay on the ground of the room and waited.
/10 minutes later…/
[You have received a request for a voice room, Uncle Willian]
"That was fast… Accept."
/Fuom.../
The face of a bald middle-aged man suddenly appeared floating in the middle of the room.
He didn't seem very happy, he even seed a bit frustrated...
"... Dale? Is this what I think it is?" Asked Willian in a serious tone as he adjusted his glasses
"Yeah? Is it good?"
Willian looked at Dale and said as a smile ford on his lips:
"There is nothing wrong with the contract, it's very short, being just a few pages long and simple, it's very clean and I would even say it's pretty."
"I would like to show it to so of my students due to how direct and efficient it is..."
"But that isn't what matters here. From a legal standpoint, I think it's ok for you to sign it, but it's better to give it more ti… Give a few hours to go through it calmly."
Dale nodded and said:
"I'll be playing Azimuth so I won't be able to reply at once, but I will do it as soon as I can… In fact, BYE!"
[Dale(Nephew) has closed the chat room]
"Dale? Dale... Sigh, this kid…"
"I also wanted to play the ga… But fine." He said with so determination
…
While his Uncle sat down to read the contract, Dale logged into the ga's Main nu.
As the world turned black around him, he found himself floating in a dark space as many stars started to shine around him, creating quite a surreal experience.
[Welco to the Character Creation nu]
Dale couldn't contain the smile as he heard the gentle voice of a pretty girl… The System girl.
He knew her, she helped him before during the Beta, and it was nice to hear her again.
"HELL YEAH!" He said as he raised his hands high, it looked quite comical since that made him spin in the empty void
[Follow the steps and create your character]
A single gray window popped up in front of Dale, but before he could do anything…
[Detected that host has initiated Azimuth]
[Assimilating Status]
[Process completed]
"?! The green box voice…"
"As I thought, it is connected to this ga…"
Dale touched his body, but he felt nothing strange.
At least this ti, the green box left his body alone.
'There were very few instances where this voice materialized, the first one was when I received it for the first ti, I still rember that acute pain in my head...'
'This is the second ti I've heard it, but nothing seems to be happening.'
'It remained silent till now, even as I played other gas and had my body grow stronger.'
"I already expected my stats to be high since my body condition is insane, but I did not expect this to happen. I'll have to research it later."
After he was done with that, he continued to check the character creation nu… And he was surprised to see new options that weren't there during the Beta.
[Randomize character sheet?]
"What's this?"
Dale selected the option and another window ca.
[By randomizing your character, you'll receive random stat points, a single Skill of a random grade, and you'll get an extra permanent Skill slot]
[DISCLAIR This action cannot be undone and once your sheet is randomized it stays that way until you buy a new character ticket]
"Yeah… No thanks."
Dale crossed his arms in the void, pondering over what he had just read.
'Azimuth works with a simple system, you buy the ga and you get a character ticket, you also get one by buying any of their Pods.'
'You can use the ticket to make a new character anyti you want. But if sothing goes wrong and you're forced to restart, then you'll need another character ticket…'
'It's not super expensive but it's not the freest thing in the world either, since, for sothing so mundane as your in-ga character, it feels a bit too much to buy one more.'
'And I speak this as soone that has quite so money left to spare...'
'Still, people can say buying a bag of sausages for 20 bucks is expensive before proceeding to go to a restaurant and eating a third of the bag of sausages' contents for triple its price without saying much...'
"I can see so rich people abusing this, I don't think the developers would make such a simple rookie mistake even if they wanted to make money… I didn't expect this, but it doesn't matter to ."
'Unless there is a chance for people to get absurd stats, I don't think anything will change for , I'll still keep my own body regardless.'
"Everyone starts Azimuth with the sa base stats as that of their body… Unless they randomize..."
"Of course, this ans people with greater physique are going to have a better ti, but it was proven that it wasn't that big of a deal since starting with one or two extra stats in a ga where you'll have hundreds later on, is in no way significant…"
'It should only matter to those maniacs that calculate everything down to the .0-ish values...'
"People with higher stats might grow faster, but this isn't a run… At least for 95% of the tens of millions of players that have bought the ga."
"So it was seen as more of a stimulant for people to train than sothing else, especially when people learned they could gain more stats mid-ga if they trained their body in real life."
'Even then, it's not much.'
'But if you're an Alpha Gar, then you ought to hit the gym.'
Dale selected the option to finish the character creator, not changing anything at all.
His appearance was what he was used to, there was no need to change his physique or body proportions, at most, it would make him feel weird as his real-life body wouldn't represent his in-ga body.
And he had proven already, the closer the two are to each other, the faster his real-life Skills rise.
[Welco Dale, proceed to the next part]
Another panel appeared in front of him, this ti displaying several images of his body with a na on top of each.
