《What if the world was an RPG?》The day everything changed Part 1
Advertisement
I looked around and what I saw was only a white room and in front of me was this blue window that had popped up.
I asked myself "could this really be it?". Had my prayers finally been answered?
They must have!
Instantly a message popped up on the blue screen.
ERROR: Command not understood.
Please choose your name or leave it blank temporally.
Name: "Insert name" Title: Earn your first title
A name hue?...
I wonder what should I name myself.
Hmm...Maby something mysterious like Laedulus or maybe something strong like Gaar.
No..No.. hahah let's not immediately choose a name that we change in the future.
People would often choose names that they liked when they made a character, but after playing that character for a while they would often regret the name which they had given to the character. The same could be said for people that did not care about the names at all.
It wasn't anything strange to see a max level player with a name such as Dr0gon SlayerX or just random numbers and letters as a name. These names might have seemed good when they made the character, but after a couple of hours or days, they would regret it.
I would not make the same mistake which I had done so many times before in the various games which I played.
Let's leave the name empty for now I thought.
Are you sure you want to leave your name empty for now?
Name: "Insert name"
Yes No
I pressed the "Yes" button and the blue screen changed once again.
Name has been chosen.
Name: "Empty" Before I even had the chance to say something another blue screen popped up once again.
Titel has been earned Titel: The nameless Title: The nameless Infamy +25: When equipped
Okay.. Lets not equip that for now...
Hmm, Titles seem to give you some kind of Infamy and possibly fame. Who knows they might even give stats and other things.
Well, lets leave these thoughts for later, no reason to overthink it.
Tutorial will initiate in 5...4...3...2...1..0
Oh..please don't let it be a surival type tutorial.
Welcome, "Empty", to the World System!
You, alongside another Six hundred million Humans, have been able to survive the system integration.
Congratulations!
You humans will find that many things have changed in the world you used to live in! The System has chosen to make most forms of what you humans call "modern technology" to stop functioning. Only weapons and technology that the System has chosen to be worthy will function. The human race will have most of its attributes determined by the System. Items and such may be obtained from the system or created by the inhabitants of the world.

You will need to adapt to this new world to survive. Use the tools which the System has given you to your best advantage and strive for your own or others goals. For the following 6 months the System will only spawn low leveled and unintelligent monsters and no Boss monsters. The majority of the monsters will have a strength comparable to a weaker human. Observe : Certaint monsters may be exempted from this rule. No unchained or wild dungeons will be opened or spawn, prohibiting monsters from leaving and attacking the new and old inhabitants of the world. After the 6 month safety period, dungeons will open, regular monsters and Bosses will start to spawn.
Recommendation
The System recommends that the inhabitants learn how to use the System and learn to live with the new changes that have happened or will come.
Good luck to the inhabitants of the world and may luck be in your favor.
Remaining Days Of Safety Period.
6 Months 0 days
I stared at the screen with what could only be described as fanatical love. This was it, a real-world system I couldn’t believe it. Before I even had the chance to think about what I just had read a new message popped up.

Wow.. that's a lot to read I guess, but still where are the elements?

Info
Effects
Death: 100% Death element controls magic that either causes any living thing to die or live once again.
Death magic revolves around necrotic magics such as Raise undead or Instant death. Death magic also increases the effectiveness of Dark spells.
Darkness: 80%
Darkness is a non natural element which controls destructive types of magic. Dark types of magic have the most versatility just like Holy type spells. Darkness magic revolves around chaotic spells such as Corruption or any elemental type spells but in a more chaotic and less accurate way. Dark magic also increases the effectiveness of Death spells. Ice: 60% Ice is a subtype of the water element. The Ice element is better at imbuing, enchanting and protection than the Water element, but loses in terms of versatility and offense.
Ice type magic revolves around enchanting and protection magics such as Imbue item or Ice wall. Ice Magic also increases the effectiveness of Water and enchanting spells.
You will be teleported to the starting area in 3...2...1
I had been teleported to a starting area. There were hundreds of people here some were frightened some were screaming and some were crying. Me, on the other hand, I was smiling like a lunatic. Did I feel bad about it? No, not even in the slightest.
Please choose your weapons.
One hundred Killer rabbits will be summoned in 900 seconds.
Panic ensued, people were trampled by the hoard of people rushing to the stalls to get weapons others were scared out of their minds and simply curled up in a foster position. Me, on the other hand, laughed at this pathetic sight. I simply waited for the people to take weapons and then simply walked in slowly.
I was presented with a choice of picking either a Sword, Bow, Spear, Mace, Staff or Shield and Club.
Maby there is some kind of inspect ability?
As fast as I uttered the words a blue screen came up.
Inspect ability will be given after the tutorial.
Hmm..the system was quite convenient I must say, to answer questions immediately.
I thought for a while before picking my weapon. The shield and club were the smartest to pick as I did not have any training in any weapon and anyone could use a club and the shield offered excellent protection against most things. Only a fool would choose something else.
You have picked the Shield and club, Please confirm Y/N
I pressed the Yes button and instantly the chain around the shield and club disappeared. I grabbed the Shield and club, from the wall where it used to hang. For some reason it made me feel stronger and a bit safer.
Let's see if it gives any bonuses or something.
The system has blocked the command Status during the tutorial.
Yeah...Well, that's retarded.
Before I even had the chance to call the one who designed this system a son of a bitch. I saw the big blue screen in the middle of the room.
One hundred Killer rabbits will be summoned in 4 seconds.
Oh, fuck here it comes.
