Finally, after a week of rebalancing all equipment from level 1 to 100 for all classes, skills of all job trees from rank 1 to rank 4, I have started this fiction. Some job class might still be broken though.

Hehehe can’t wait to write about her in her rank 4 job class, the moment she creates the guild, the moment she crafts the strongest set. *drools*

I put a lot of effort in creating all concepts of the game, so yeah, I'll continue this one, even if the whole world hates me!

__________

Awaking from a deep slumber, Rina Takahashi, a twenty two year old woman, was welcomed by a floating screen in the middle of an enclosed room.

Welcome to Zanaria Online

Unfazed, she stared at the screen, waiting for it to change. As the screen disappeared, a new one replaced it, and it appeared near Rina.

Please enter your username and password.

USERNAME:_PASSWORD_

Soon, a transparent keyboard appeared below the screen, which Rina used to enter her account.

A clicking sound was heard, and a new screen appeared.

Morta-sama, what race would you like?

Beast kinA race that are highly territorial. They'll react violently to outsiders that enter their territory without their permission.(2 strength and 1 agility per level)

DemonsA race that dominates half the world. They think themselves as superior to other races, often leading them to war against other races.(2 strength and 1 intelligence per level)

FairiesA race spread around the world, but has the least influence of all. They are a playful race, moving solely based on their interest.(2 agility and 1 strength per level)

HumansA race that dominates half the world. With their high number and skills in information gathering, they have taken and mixed different creation procedures, making them the second in technological advancement.(2 agility and 1 intelligence per level)

DwarvesA race that hides in the mountains or places with lots of minerals. They are good in all types of item creation, leading them to be the best in technological advancement.(2 intelligence and 1 strength per level)

ElvesA race devoted to the well being of the world. They are against the current era's ways of innovation, leading them to hate the other races and seclude themselves in the forests.(2 intelligence and 1 agility)

Without moments of hesitation, she chose to be a fairy, and a new screen appeared.

Morta-sama, what class would you like?

SWORDSMANSwordsmen have high stamina and strength, but are slow. They fight their enemies head on, dealing damage to those around them with their swords.(Next Class: Great Swordsman / Magic Swordsman)

ARCHERArchers are quick with their feet, staying away from danger, attacking and killing enemies from a distance.(Next Class: Hunter / Ranger)

ROGUERogues are cunning, they weaken enemies with different traps and poison, and finishing them off with knives.(Next Class: Assassin / Martial Artist)

MAGICIANMagicians are slow, they have low physical strength, but they can decimate enemies before the enemies can reach them.(Next Class: Wizard / Priest)

Without wasting a moment, she chose the rogue class.

Morta-sama, are you sure you don’t want to change anything? A race and class cannot be changed once you start.

YESNO

She clicked yes and her consciousness started to leave her body. Before she fainted, a screen popped out.

Again, welcome to Zanaria Online

When she awoke, she was in the middle of a plaza that was filled with greenery. The houses were covered in plants, some were even made from plants.

Just like her, there were others on the ground, a lot of them, and all of them had transparent wings. They were all fairies, and all of them were players.

Today is Zanaria Online’s grand opening, it literally hasn’t been an hour when it opened.

As Rina stood up, more people popped out in the plaza. She looked around, in the city in the middle of a forest, with trees so large that the peak couldn’t be seen, with leaves so wide that it could cover a whole court.

Excited, Rina walked out of the plaza to look around the city.

Zanaria Online is the first virtual reality game in the whole world, making every experience inside it completely new to Rina. New in an interesting and positive way.

While walking in the plant city, with her jet black hair fluttering as the winds blew past her, she called upon a screen. “Options”

With her fingers, with skin as white as snow, she clicked status.

She clicked agility three times, increasing it by three, and decreasing the remaining points by three.

Just from the small movement of her stats, her hazel eyes beamed. A small smile appeared on her charming face, as she walked around with nothing but a green dress made from leaves, tightly fitted around her slender and toned body.

As she got to the edge of the city, she saw fairy npcs, wearing steel armor, guarding the entrance of the city. Just outside, she could see other players, battling monsters, like what one would see in a fantasy world.

It hasn’t been long, but the beginner grounds were already filled, arrows were flying from left to right, some jumping to the enemy with their knives in hand.

There were already those that formed small groups, some wanting to be alone, and some unbelievably laid on the ground, lifeless for they were killed by the weakest mob. Rina wondered how they died when it would take a dozen or more hits from the weakest mob to die.

While she stood, more people came out of the entrance, all filled with smiles, all excited for their first experience of fantasy life.

Before she came out, she called upon the option screen, but this time she clicked cash shop.

Without batting an eye, she bought the one month premium kit, three beginner set, two mercenaries, and one dragon egg.

When she activated a mercenary, a screen popped out.

Beast kin

Demon

Fairy

Human

Dwarf

Elf

She chose demon, and another screen popped out.

Swordsman

Archer

Rogue

Magician

She chose swordsman, and a different screen appeared, a screen where she can design how the mercenary looks like.

Mercenaries are like characters, with the exception of them being bots instead of players. They can level up, they can rank up, they can enter parties and guilds, they can do almost everything a player could, except for reviving after death and a few others.

Once they die, the only way to save them is by a resurrection spell. If they can’t find anyone that can revive them, their data will be lost forever.

Mercenaries also have benefits, like they are loyal to their owner, they get exp from partying, but their owner’s exp doesn’t get reduced.

When there are two members in a party, the exp will be divided in to two. If the other member is a mercenary, the mercenary would get half the amount of exp, but the player still gets the same exp like he/she would when he/she goes solo.

Even if there are two mercenaries, the mercenaries will get a third of the exp, but the owner will still get the full amount.

When she finished creating her mercenary, a screen popped out.

Enter name

NAME:_

After she entered Decima, a woman appeared beside Rina. The woman was two inches taller then her, with dark skin, slender and toned body, fiery red hair, and dark eyes with golden pupils, wearing a set of dark blue clothes.

“Master” Said the woman with horns sprouting out from the back of her head.

Rina stretched her hands to the woman’s head and patted her.

The woman smiled as her black, pointy tail waved from side to side like a puppy.

The other players looked at them who was still standing near the entrance. One from the demon race appearing in the village of fairies could only mean one thing, it’s a mercenary, and the one near her is a rich person.

That scene alone would cause a lot of jealousy, for the mercenary was beautiful, but that was averted since Rina herself was a beauty.

She activated the other mercenary, this time she chose an elven magician, designed as a large breasted, blonde elf whose name is Nona.

She had a slightly plump body and pinkish white skin, covered in white robe. With her clear blue eyes, she stared at Rina with anticipation.

When Rina patted her head like she did with Decima, her cheeks became red as she said. “Ehehe, master.”

Seeing that, Decima pouted and glared at Nona.

Rina was surprised that bots could have such reactions, like they were really alive and it made her smile. As she patted Nona, she reached Decima’s head and also patted her, making her tail wave again.

Everyone was surprised, not only did she have a demon mercenary, she even has an elf mercenary. She has two mercenaries and it hasn’t even been a day since the game started. It hasn’t even been two hours.

Everyone agreed, she wasn’t rich, she was filthy rich, but it didn’t matter, since all three of them looked cute together.

When Rina stopped, she opened one of the beginner set, and another screen popped out.

Swordsman

Archer

Rogue

Magician

She picked her class, which is Rogue. She opened the other sets and chose her mercenaries’ class.

As the three walked out of the city to search for a place to grind at, every player, who played the beta version, opened the cash shop, to calculate just how much Rina spent.

All in all, Rina spent 128,028.00 yen or 1,184.57 dollars. It took a few minutes before the liveliness in the beginner grounds returned to normal, but they would forever remember the player who spent a lot of money right from the get go.
