《Nirvana》Visiting the Adventure Guild
Advertisement
Not too many people believed in her words. Most of the world was still skeptical.
Emile had his coffee dripping onto the floor. He spilled his coffee while watching the live stream. He knew the consequences of this and had no way to stop it.
If the world learned to use skills in real-life, then many problems will occur. The government needed to stop them.
Emile didn't know the government had agreed to allow this decision. They wanted more people to become a Nirvanic since it had many benefits.
The government understood that few people would believe their words. But they would believe other people who post stuff about using elements. They need the public to test out what they said.
These people would gain the Nirvanic System and purchase a skill system. They would gain the nutrients for that element after they get the system.
Then those people would try the skills in real-life to prove that the people were wrong. When they use the designated skill they learned from the game in real-life, then they will believe in the words of the video.
When one person gets an ability, another person would want to get it. This would continue until there was a frenzy for these abilities.
This became a waiting period for the governments. They couldn't speed up the process unless they did more live shows about using abilities.
No one trusted other people's words unless that person was close to them.
They opened the game servers once more.
Emile logged on with a stifling feeling. Emile appeared in the city. He saw his friends log in.
"Hey, Emile you have the Nirvanic System," Handsomest Crab said.
He heard Emile's name when the person was speaking about people having the Nirvanic System.
"Yes," Emile didn't want to lie about it. When the Handsomest Crab figures out the Nirvanic System's function, then he would realize that Emile had lied to him.
Emile had shown off his skills to them so he could connect the dots.
"So can you use the skills in real-life," He continued the questioning.

"... Yes." Emile paused and spoke the truth.
"Why did you never... oh I know why? The more people that know, the more likely it is for a person to spill the truth." The Handsomest Crab wanted to question Emile about this but understood why he never told him about it.
"I activated the system and need 100 silver coins. So I will go get money. Peace." The Handsomest Crab replied before leaving.
Emile thought he would ask for money. He didn't, which surprised Emile.
Players throughout the game world were activating the Nirvanic System with caution. They couldn't disprove their claims.
Not too many players had 100 silver coins. Only a few bought the skill system. Some were just gullible and others didn't care about their wealth so they bought the skill system.
The time it required for people to get the nutrients were 6 hours.
They had to wait 6 hours before they could learn anything. During this time they could try to get skill points for their element. Some got the skill points to learn a skill. Even if all the information they mentioned was fake, they could get a skill system that had many skills. They would have an edge over other players.
Emile worried about this. He didn't know how to stop this from occurring. He calmed himself down before exploring the city.
As he started walking a system notification occurred.
[The Water Skill system has been discovered inside the user's body. Sending nutrients to the body]
Emile hadn't activated the nutrient sending function for water. The game now had an automatic feature to give nutrients to the body.
Emile didn't stop this since he wanted the nutrients to cast water abilities in the real world. He wanted to protect himself against people who used their powers with no care.
[There are 6 hours left before all the nutrients enter the body]
They sped up the process of gaining nutrients. They couldn't make it instantaneous because people could die from the intake of too many nutrients.
The government made it 6 hours for a smooth slow process in which the nutrients could enter the body with ease. Only newborns and old people would have problems when taking this amount of nutrients.

They banned any person under the age of 8 to play Nirvana. The age limit was set at 102. Most of the world could play the game.
Emile walked to a stranger.
"Hello, do you know where to find the Adventure Guild," Emile asked a nearby stranger.
Emile wanted to test out how good his pioneer title was. Emile noticed that only three titles could be equipped at a time.
He had two titles now.
"Let's see... If you head that way and take a left on the second street, you'll see a giant sign saying adventure guild. That's where you can find the guild," The man said.
He was kind.
Emile thanked him before walking past the many lamposts that were not lit up. It was the morning of Monday.
His university was closed on this day for unknown reasons. It was most likely for the announcement that was made earlier on.
All the schools were closed due to this. Even the online ones which were a recent trend that was catching on.
They were all forced to close which didn't cause too many problems throughout the world.
Emile walked on the solid concrete floor until he reached the first crossroad. He could continue going forward or take a left or right.
Emile followed the man's instructions and walked forward.
After more walking, he saw the second crossroad and took a left. The adventure guild's sign was gigantic. It was plastered onto the side of a building with a lot of windows. He entered the building a saw many people sitting around in the lounge.
Emile also saw a reception desk. There was a lady wearing glasses who sat inside the desk. She seemed busy typing stuff onto a computer.
Emile didn't want to bother her and asked one of the people who was sitting in the lounge.
"Where can I find some quests," Emile asked.
"Quests... what's that?" One person asked.
"I'm guessing you're referring to missions." The man continued without making fun of his word usage.
"The missions are on the menu of your id." The man said with patience.
"What id?" Emile asked not sure about what that was.
"You haven't registered yet?" The man understood why he didn't know many things.
"My name is William. I'll help you register." He said after understanding Emile's circumstances.
"Thank you, William," Emile said.
William walked to the lady who was busy on her computer.
"Hey, someone else wants to join your guild. Give him his ID." William spoke rudely.
"You know If you keep showing me that attitude, I'll kick you out of my guild," she said without batting an eye at him.
"You always say that but never actually kick me out," William said.
"Now help this guy." He continued.
"All right," she switched to another tab before typing more.
She opened up a page to store other people's data in.
"Tell me what you would like to register by?" She started asking questions.
"Mystical Flame," Emile responded.
She typed his name into an empty spot.
"What class do you have?"
"I don't have a class, yet," Emile said while feeling embarrassed.
"I'll give you a tip. No party would want you if you don't have a class. They'll think you're useless since you couldn't even get a class." The lady gave him some advice.
"Woah, I've never seen you help out a newbie before," William spoke.
"The kid's a bit special." She peered into his eyes and smiled.
"All right, all you need is a picture of yourself." She continued after turning back to her computer.
She took a picture of him with an old-fashioned camera.
"You're ID will be printing soon," she said.
"Why do you have so much technology? The villages don't seem to have any types of technology," Emile asked after noticing the major changes from the village to the city.

When Plush comes to Shove
An: So the last synopsis wasn’t really all that good, it was just some mumbo jumbo with no actual point to it so I decided to make a new one that’s a bit more accurate. Leo Lush, just your average everyday (slightly chubby) schmuck, or at least he would be if he didn’t carry around a stuffed toy everywhere he went.I mean, he was a man who could read the atmosphere a bit so put it away in his bag whenever having a stuffed toy out would be rude but other than that he brought it with him all the time, it was a memento from his girlfriend who had died three years ago and keeping it close made him feel better. That’s also why his classmates gave him the nickname “Plush”, though that's neither here nor there. One day at the train station he’d lost his dearest stuffed toy, one of his classmates found it and lobbed it towards him, something that they’d already done many times before, but this time something went wrong and Leo found himself falling in front of the train due to the force of the throw. Now follow Leo as the spirit that developed in his stuffed toy and killed him forces his ghost into another world to possess a different stuffed toy. He doesn’t know much about the world or why he’s there but what he does know is that according to a magic book his girlfriend was also sent to this very world when she died in a plane accident three years ago. An: For those who want to know a bit more about what kind of story this will be: I want it to be a chill feel-good story and stay as far away from those despair-fest stories as possible (No offense to people who enjoy them, I’m just not one of you)Let me make something clear; I’m not writing this story with hope of it becoming really top tier among RRL (Though it did get above rank 500 once which I’m still very proud of even though it’s gone back down to ~850 at the time of writing this) I just want to write a story that I would enjoy reading, that’s why I’ll be mostly skipping over a lot of the parts that I skip when I read other stories, such as stats, the exact value of money and other such precise statistics that no one(as far as I’m aware) really cares about all that much. Just feels like a lot of effort for something superfluous.There’s a single exception and that’s one of the battles, it’s not a despair-fest or anything but it’s got a different feel than the rest of the story due to me being in a funky mood while I was writing it.
