Scarlet
The very first thing I do the mont I wake up the next morning is jump out of bed and rush over to the pod doc I had set up in my room, all while activating my magi-tech armor and using the clean skill. Not even bothering to change out of my sleeping clothes before I jump into the pod doc.
Because its finally the start of the beta testing period for the ga!
You really are excited for this, Tar comnts, sounding rather amused.
Of course I am! Its the very first MMORPG in a magical reality! First ga in a magical reality at all even!
I explained at one point what an RPG was to Tar, and I still cant help but feel amused by his reaction.
I still stick to it, Tar says, sounding smug. These RPGs of yours are re mockeries of the System created by Titania!
But the RPGs were around long before the System arrived on Earth.
We ignore that, Tar sagely says as I find myself being drawn into the magical reality where I end up floating in the air with the voice of so lady entering my ear, Hello, beta tester, and welco to Hunter XI! She then goes on and on about so basic details for the ga, how its the first of its kind, and then talking about my character creation.
One annoying thing about this magical reality stuff though is that you cant play as anyone other than your own appearance. Or general appearance at least. You can change up so features, but your body has to fit your reality.
After the lady finishes her introduction, I imdiately get to creating my character, which is just my typical character in these gas. A vampire if I can. One that tends to use a more berserk fighting style and class.
Not sure what a vampire is outside of Tartarus, but the berserk fighting style fits you to a T, Tar comnts, making briefly wonder why hes still here.
It ends up taking quite a while to finish my character, and when I do, the lady returns and starts talking again. Then Im sent to the outskirts of so city from old world dieval tis. The typical fantasy city in RPGs.
And around I actually find several other people appearing or just standing around as well. People I can tell arent NPCs since theyre wearing the sa starter equipnt as I am, which is really just a set of basic armor with grey chainmail and an undershirt, with silver tal armor over the vital areas.
For a mont, I hesitate, only to rember that I changed my features to make unrecognizable in-ga. Specifically, I changed my hair to be purely black, I gave myself human ears instead of my wolf ears which doesnt seem to have changed my hearing at all, sothing I find rather interesting as Im still hearing just like I did with my wolf ears and I changed my face to be just a little older and rougher looking with a slight mask to make it harder to link my character to . A nice feature added by the ga for those who dont want to be recognized.
Overall, it shouldnt be possible to link to my character.
I look up again to find soone spawning right in front of , making blink in surprise. And theyre no different, as they dont appear to have been expecting to spawn right in front of soone either.
We both step back for a mont to examine the other.
The player is a guy with bright, unrealistically crimson hair, which leads to believe that he either changed it to that with his character creation, or he is a Guardian outside of the ga. And his eyes are just as red, with his hair going down to about his shoulder in length, but also layered in a way that makes it look clean with his hair not falling in his face at all.
His face on the other hand doesnt really match his hair or eyes, which leads to believe that he only changed his face and is a Guardian outside of the ga. Because his face looks oddly boring compared to the rest, and very off. And if soone were to go to the trouble of changing their eye and hair color to make them look fancy, they wouldnt leave their face boring like that.
Although, he couldve also just picked a race that has him looking like that. I know the vampire race I chose which in this ga doesnt seem to have a weakness to the sun besides being weaker in terms of magic cast while in sunlight has crimson eyes. Both similar and yet still different from my own eyes in reality.
My eyes suddenly widen as I realize I used the usual userna I always use in gas. CrimsonWolf.
I hope that cant be linked to Scarlet Wolf normally I dont have to worry about others figuring it out since they dont have my actual appearance. But now
I doubt anyone would care, especially in this beta test, Tar suddenly says, surprising for a mont before he explains his reasoning, you said that this beta test was for rich people, right? So shouldnt a lot of the people here be Guardians already?
Oh. I guess he has a point.
Anyways, the guy whose userna I can see is Blaze finishes examining and looks in the eyes as he says, Hello.
Hi, I respond with a light nod.
A mont of awkward silence passes before I try to walk away with a short, Well, Im going to-
Wait, he cuts off, making pause in my step to turn around and glance at him with a raised brow. I was going to find a teammate right away for the opening event mission, so youll do if youd like to work with .
I continue looking at him with a raised brow, only for a notification from the video gas system not the real System to appear in my face, making blink in surprise.
Event Mission Acquired!
Mission Objective: Complete the beginner missions within twenty four hours of the opening of the beta testing period and then submit a report about how you felt it went!
Mission Rewards: Class II Beta Armor Set and one Class II Skill Roll.
Completion Progress: N/A
My eyes narrow, but the guy, Blaze, cuts my thoughts off as he says, The event mission has a hidden chanic to it in that it gives bonus rewards for the first three groups of people who are able to finish it, along with a bonus on how quickly it can be completed. So if you want to get those bonus rewards, it would be beneficial to work with soone.
I glance at him for a mont before considering the idea.
Normally I always go solo in gas, but if what he said is really true, then maybe I should work with him just this once.
Besides. He looks capable in how hes holding himself.
Okay, I finally answer, and he nods his head before we both begin walking towards the city.
Thisll be interesting.
