_________________
As soon as I confirmed my appearance and stats, I, Aiken, was immediately taken to my starting village, Hopferns. I immediately looked around to check my surroundings, and to my surprise, there were a lot players. Everyone had different looks, but all of them were from the human race. I guess there really was no other race to choose from. Before I could go out and start my adventure, I decided to stick around and try to familiarize myself with my new body since this is the first time that I am playing with the VirGo.
At first, I laid down on the ground, the feeling of sand and dirt was weird, but it felt too real. Can't underestimate the power of virtual reality. I Started to roll around like an idiot, and people, both Players and NPC, were looking at me with a confused face. Some were laughing and others felt uncomfortable, and decided to ignore the crazy guy rolling on the ground.
Standing back up, I coughed a little. I proceeded to do a little stretching exercise, doing jumping jacks, curl-ups and push-ups. That felt too good. My body felt light and so does the greatsword on my back. Now that I think about it, I wondered how heavy my greatsword is, so I unsheathed it.
"HOLY BACONS THAT’S HEAVY!" I complained as I carried it with one hand. It was very difficult to lift it up with my a single hand, but as soon as I held it with both of my hands, it was slightly lighter. My mobility was still pretty slow, it was as if they followed monster hunter's game mechanic when wielding the greatsword. As soon as I unsheathed i, my body felt normal and my mobility as well.

I looked around once again and I could see merchant stalls. They were selling different kinds of merchandise. Some merchants were selling potions, food and some other stuffs. Others were also selling weapons such as swords, bows and shields. I checked my status, but sadly I had no cash on me.
"Well, I guess I should start making some money." I told myself as I walk at what seems to be the exit of the village. Near the exit, I could see and hear players looking for a party. Just in case you guys have no idea what a party is, it means a group of players that is going to be helping each other with their quests, such as hunting monsters or looking for materials. Some even do quests together.
Thinking that I should join a party later, I walked out of the village's safety and entered the hunting grounds. From there I could see mobs, mobs such as boars, wild dogs, crazy farmers and more. Thinking that boars are weak creatures, I decided to fight against them first.
After getting close enough the boar noticed my presence and immediately started to get ready for an attack by scraping the ground with its hoof before charging at the man. Immediately, I evaded to the side by moving out of it’s way to dodge it's charge. The boar stopped charging, and I quickly ran behind it, unsheathed my greatsword and at the same time, slammed it behind the boar’s body.
It seems like SP stands for stamina points, and that attack that I just did took quite a lot of stamina, and possibly from running towards it too. Maybe I should attack twice, evade the beast ,let it regenerate back to full, and then attack again. Seems like the smartest thing to do for this battle.

It seemed like attacking it from behind did the job, but as soon as the damage window disappeared, the boar immediately swung it’s tusk at me. I was sent flying to the right from the attack.
"How the hell did you take so much of my health?!" I complained, the boar simply shook its head as if it was trying to calm itself and prepare for another attack. Once again it pawed the ground, and after a couple of seconds it started to charge again. Without enough time to roll I had no choice but to use my greatsword as a shield.
As soon as the attack got in contact with my blade, I was sent flying once more. I quickly stood back up, but began to feel tired. I realized that BP had something to do with blocking and decided to call it Block Points.
"I'm sure if I had BP I could've withstood that attack and not lose HP..!"
But without any warning, the boar charged towards me again, I was not able to see the pawing trait for its charge, and I was sent flying again. Obviously this time, I lost all of my remaining health and died.
....
I respawned at my starting village, and I bursted into laughter. I haven't felt that much adrenaline in a game for such a long time now. I decided to check my status and my eyes widen, the very sight of my health surprised me.
15/15>
"WHAT THE HELL?! MY MAXIMUM HP LOWERED EVEN MORE?!!" I screamed in confusion, as I noticed a little window on my 'status' bar. Without having any second thoughts, I immediately tapped the window to check what it was.
....
"T-T-This is... Madness..."
Wrong.. This..is...Astria.

This is probably your cup of tea. Long term progression with a heavy slice of life element. Strong mix and inclusion of ancient Greek life, values, and myths. Hence, the world can be a bit more harsh and brutish than modern sensibilities. The system is tangible and knowable beyond the MC's insights.

Wulfgard: The Hunt Never Ends
In the civilized world of humans, 'monsters' have all but passed into legend. But when something goes bump in the night, when people begin to disappear, when a dark mystery begins to haunt even the most peaceful villages, there is only one organization to turn to: the Hunters. The Venatori. Having lived a life of discipline and service, former soldier Caiden Voros finds something even worse than the wars of humans: the monsters that hunt them. Horrors yet unknown even to him and his many scars await in the claws, talons, fangs, and mysterious powers of creatures so far beyond humans that he must dedicate himself entirely to the art of slaying them. Harboring a secret of his own and in a constant struggle to find answers while maintaining his sanity, however, Caiden begins to ask the age-old question... Who is truly worse, the monsters or the Men? Wulfgard: The Hunt Never Ends is an episodic collection of stories, each of which stand on its own, but they also build upon each other in a consecutive order, bridging a gap between a novel and short story collection. These stories follow monster hunter Caiden Voros and his partner Gwen Vergil as they embark on tales of mystery, horror, and adventure to track down monsters - the living dead, beast-men, shape-shifters, spirits, and many more - that would do harm to innocent lives and, by whatever means necessary, put a stop to their terrors. Their motives, however, are not always what they seem.
