I take off the VR helt and move towards the bathroom. I took a shower again and looked at my phone 0620. The ga only occurred between 0000 and 0600, however you can experience another 24 hours in the ga. After walking around for a bit I felt how stiff my body was compared to my in-ga counterpart. Since it was still early I changed into shorts and a t-shirt. I exit my house and a drop in temperature causes to shiver a bit. I start to do so light stretches before jogging and then so light running. Running around the block was harder than I thought and it wasn't even 3 kiloters. I stopped multiple tis before I got back ho and once I got ho I laid down on my bed breathing heavily.
"How can people exercise? It's so hard, so tiring."
I looked at my phone and it said 0730. It took around an hour to run around the block. I slowly got up and showered again to get rid of all the sweat and then got so toast and butter for breakfast. By the ti I finished breakfast, it was 0800. I went to sit on my chair and turned on my computer. I searched for the ga site and clicked on the forums tab. The sheer number of posts overwheld , each ti I refresh the page tens of new posts appear. At the top, in red bold text, another post of Elves_or_Nothin was pinned.
"PROGRESS day 1" - Elves_or_Nothin
HELLO, MY BEAUTIFUL ELF-LOVING FANS! It is I Elves_or_Nothin and in this post I will recount the first day of Settlent and give an opinion. Now, if you read my previous post before playing the ga you would know so of the bare basics I was able to find out BUT there is just so much more. You spawn at a location, random, and you are not alone. I have talked to other players and found out that you can be spawned with a minimum of 3 NPCs or a maximum of 6 NPCs. Furthermore, there were A LOT of people who did not pass the first night and died. I was one of the lucky few that had 6 NPCs.
I spawned inside a forest of so sort and the graphics were unreal. The attention to detail to even the smallest rock and the quietest of sounds were UNBELIEVABLY amazing. I was however a little disappointed that the NPCs with were human and not elves but that's ok (It was NOT ok. WHERE WERE THE BUSTY BLONDE ELVES!!!).
I asked so of the NPCs what we would be doing and about their past and found out that they were previously enslaved in an encampnt. Cross-checking with other players and finding out the story is exactly the sa however the creature enslaving the NPCs was different. I had kobold enslaving my NPCs while others had orcs, dragonewts and even goblins.
After which our party moved onwards and we were able to find a small clearing where we constructed a simple wooden tent by placing fallen logs against each other to form a triangle. Then draped lots and lots of greenery from bushes to moss and BAM shelter done!
As night fell, one of the NPCs got back from hunting and was able to catch a small rabbit and picked up so wild vegetables making a pretty filling dinner. At the sa ti, I was notified by the system of the first event a night attack which happened between midnight and sunrise. I told my party about a potential attack happening tonight and the 'hunter' NPC set up so basic traps around the camp while at the sa ti another NPC sharpened various lengths of sticks to use.
Night attack happened as of course, I didn't die! We were facing wolves and with the help of everyone we were able to defend against the onslaught. Right before sunrise, we were t with the 'boss'. It was a kobold dressed in leather pants and a chest plate holding onto a spear. Who would have thought those traps set up earlier actually helped. The kobold stepped into one of the traps and lost his balance and being the strong warrior I leaped on the kobold and stabbed him in the face over and over until I thought he was dead. Pretty good for !! After killing the kobold the rest of the wolves dispersed and there was a bit of downti before the event finished. Once the sun rose the monster corpses burst into purple smoke and loot appeared. Not all the wolves gave loot but I was able to get a few goodies. The kobold however gifted his chest plate and then the leaderboard screen appeared and I saw myself at 9th place. YAY!
Overall, the ga is super good and I will be posting my experience every day I play.
STAY TUNED!!

As I was reading the post I compared Elves_or_Nothin's experience to mine. His first enemy were wolves and even though they travel in packs there can't have been as many wolves as there were goblins. This ans the system counted the number of goblins I was able to kill and it was similar in value to the number of wolves killed by Elves_or_Nothin. At the sa ti Elves_or_Nothin could have reached 9th place because he was able to kill the 'boss' of the event. I was unable to kill the goblin with the shield but I still entered the top 10 which ans that the 9 people above were able to kill the 'boss' of the night and everyone below was unable to or died.
Even though I was unable to kill the 'boss' I still received an item from the night which was obviously different from the standard loot drops. However, I have no idea what the luck stat can do for at the mont.
It seed like the rest of the posts were about players either flaunting that they were able to survive or players complaining about dying. I scrolled through the forum a bit more and saw a post that intrigued .

It was not a popular post and was eventually drowned out by the constant rush of new players posting about their experience, however, It helped understand a little bit more about the ga. I can only hope that my increased luck will help in the long run.
As midday approaches, I went to my job and once I finished I picked up so dinner and went ho. I ate the food quickly and rested my mind and body ready for another day in Settlent. Right before midnight I laid in my bed and once the clock turned 0000 I closed my eyes and went back into the ga.
