Emile waited patiently. While waiting for the server to connect, he started to think of a name that he would decide on.

"Should I use my real name? No, then people would be able to know who I am." He thought.

Emile started to think of things that he found pleasing and wanted to create a name out of that thing. Emile has an abnormal love for anything fire related. He never knew why he enjoyed fire so much.

As he continued to think, the timer went into the last 10 seconds.

[There are 0 hours 0 minutes and 10 seconds before the server is reconnected. Please wait patiently]

[There are 0 hours 0 minutes and 9 seconds before the server is reconnected. Please wait patiently]

...

[There are 0 hours 0 minutes and 01 seconds before the server is reconnected. Please wait patiently]

[The servers have been connected, would you like to join the server?]

"Yes," Emile responded in his mind.

The cabin was connected to his mind so it could understand his responses and react promptly.

[Please create a character name]

"Flame Lord" he responded.

[That name has been taken. Please choose another name]

"Uhh... Mystical Flame" he quickly responded.

[Mystical Flame has not been chosen, would you like to confirm this name]

"Yes," he responded.

[Would you like to use your real life appearance?]

"No, but can I modify it," he asked.

[Yes you may modify your real life appearance]

At this moment a lifelike figure of himself rose up in front of him. Emile felt shocked as he looked at himself. He has never played a VR game before, which caused him to not know about a character using the same looks as the actual person.

He made his eye color a lighter shade of brown. He made his hair into a different style than what it normally looks like. He had a look of approving on his face as he stared at himself.

The system sensed his approval and asked if he wanted to confirm his looks.

[Would you like to use this character]

"Yes," he responded.

[What village would you like to start in]

A list of many villages popped up. The villages didn't have any description. The only information available was the names of the villages.

Looking at the sheer number of villages made him feel overwhelmed. He didn't want to read the villages names, so he chose to pick randomly.

[The Village of the Songs has been selected]

[Teleporting... Creating Stats... set up complete]

As those words were spoken he was teleported away and arrived at the village which was crowded with many people.

[Welcome to the Village of the Songs.]

[Please enjoy your stay]

Emile looked around and all he could see was other players chatting and walking around. Emile didn't like crowded locations so he decided to leave the town as fast as he could.

Emile maneuvered around the people and managed to leave the town.

[You have arrived at the Song Forest]

There were many people killing the wild chickens which were level 0. They were located at a place with extremely tall oak trees. He didn't want to be with the players so he chose to continue walking.

After a decent amount of walking, he made it far into the woods. There was no longer any people in his vicinity.

He decided the check out his stats.

______________________________________________

Emile thought he got lucky with a decent amount of high stats. He also noticed that he had a lucky box in his inventory.

He examined the lucky box.

Common Lucky Box

You think you have good luck? Let's find out.

Use: It can drop nothing to Rare equipment.

Emile felt shocked since he knew that rare equipment would definitely break the balance of the game. He was hoping for a rare equipment since he had 10 points in the luck stat.

He opened the box.

A wheel popped up with many items. He chooses to spin the wheel and it started to spin at a fast pace.

He only saw 1 rare item on the wheel and the majority was either nothing or some common to uncommon items.

It scrolled past the uncommon and common items. The wheel started to slow down. It was extremely close to the rare item. Emile was screaming in his mind for it to go a bit farther and land on the rare item. As if the system was listening to Emile it skidded onto the rare item slot.

"Yes!!!" Emile screamed in his mind with excitement.

[You have acquired Rare Ring: Fighter's Will]

He understood why people enjoyed gambling so much. It was addicting to win something. It also made him aware of the dangers of gambling.

He examined the ring.

Fighter's Will

The ring of an ancient warrior. You feel that this ring has immeasurable potential.

Equipable: Level 0

Strength +19

Vitality +16

Agility +7

Skill: 5 Hit Slash- Hits the opponent with 5 hits that each deal 75% of max attack value

Cooldown: 30 minutes

Upgradeable

As expected of a rare item. The ring was extremely strong since it nearly tripled his strength stat. He equipped the ring. His strength shot up to 29 points which means a normal attack from him dealt 27-31 damage.

As he was standing there, a wild Boar charged at him. Standing in the middle of the forest made him seem like an easy target for the Boar. Emile noticed this and decided to identify the Boar's weaknesses.

He identified the boar's stat.

Boar

Level: 2

Hp: 185/185

???

Other than seeing the level and the HP of the boar he couldn't see anything else. He didn't have any weapons on him so he could only punch the boar. He punched the boar.

-28

Emile dodged out of the way of the boar's attack using Void-Steps. He wanted to try out the skill he got from the ring so he used it on the boar.

5 Hit Slash

-23

-23

-46 critical damage

-23

-23

Out of the 5 hits, 1 of them was a critical hit which dealt double damage. The boar was only one hit away from death. The boar got mad but it didn't matter since all it took was 1 hit to fall down and die. He gave one more punch.

-31

[The boar has been slain]

[You have gained Boar meat x2]

[You have gained Boar hide x1]

[You have gained 3 copper coins]

[You have gained 10 exp (5x2 level gap)]

Emile didn't know the prices of any items so he couldn't figure out how much he earned. He also noticed that defeating an enemy that was stronger than him in levels would give him an exp multiplier.

He decided to hunt boars until he leveled up.

______________________________________________

He found a boar grazing near a small creek. He started to crouch behind a dark oak tree analyzing the boar's movement. He waited for the Boar to take a sip of water from the creek. He wanted to test out Pinpoint which was the ability to notice the weak points of enemies that were weaker than him.

He noticed some weak points on the side of the Boar. He ran forward and used two fingers to jab one of the weak points.

-62 true damage

He noticed that he did double damage by attacking a weak point. He continued to strike at the same point.

-60 true damage

-120 true damage+critical damage

He got a critical hit on top of the true damage which caused the Boar to die extremely quickly.

After the Boar died a new system notification popped up.

[You have successfully created a skill]

[What would you like to name it]

"Pinpoint" he replied excitedly.

[New skill Pinpoint has been successfully created]

Emile quickly examined his stats to see what the skill.

______________________________________________

Pinpoint

Usage: Can see the weaknesses and debuffs of any enemies that are weaker than the user and up to 5 levels above the user.

Passive Skill

Original Skill

______________________________________________

Emile realized that the skill would become very useful for him. Emile had the bright idea to attempt to create a skill by using Void-Steps.

He decided to camp for Boars by staying near the creek.

A Boar showed up after 2 minutes of waiting. He walked up to the Boar and stood still. The Boar was provoked into charging at him.

He used Void-Steps to move towards the left, which successfully allowed him to dodge the attack. The Boar continued to charge at him. Emile continued to dodge the attacks which slowly increased his proficiency in Void-Steps.

After 10 minutes of dodging attacks, Emile felt slightly tired. The Boar would always end up missing Emile and never even touched his clothes.

At this moment Emile had an urge to do something different. He started to use Void-Steps before the Boar could get very close to him. He stood still and started to move his feet sporadically. The Boar seemed to notice that Emile would charge towards the left so it charged towards the left as well.

But Emile never moved from his position. This caused the Boar to be tricked by his feet and miss him completely.

This provoked a system notification to appear.

[You have successfully created a movement skill]

[What would you like to name it]

"Void-Steps" Emile felt excited since he managed to create another skill.

[New skill Void-Steps has been successfully created]

After learning the skill he checked his stats to see what the skill did.

______________________________________________

Original

______________________________________________

The skill was extremely strong and could be used as a life saver. Emile realized that he probably entered the next stage of the Void-Steps. He probably was in the Expert proficiency but he needed to test it out at his father's dojo.

Emile quickly killed the Boar and started to camp once more.
