《Imagining Online: The game》V1 Chapter 1: The Game Begins
Advertisement
Hiro noticed is surrounding fade away as his view turned white. He was suddenly in a pure white room with nothing in sight
"Welcome to Imagine Online" An elegant female voice said. A little shocked Hiro turned around to see who the voice came from.
"*chuckle* Chose the race you want to be."
"Human." Hiro said with a sure but embarrassed tone. Suddenly he appeared as he usually looks with that black hair and those blue eyes.
"Do you want to change your looks?"
"I want to change my hair color to have a little hint of red and my eyes to crimson red." He said and saw his hair getting a hint of red and his eyes turning red.
"Do you want to be 40% more beautiful or ugly?"
'Wow so they have that kind of feature. I didn't find anything about it on the forum. Well getting handsome wouldn't hurt'
"40% beautiful please" He said and saw his face features change to a man who had the least problem of getting girls.
'Wow I look quite good' Hiro thought and praised himself.
"Hm, doesn't that look fine, what would you like to name your character?"
"Rein"
"What continent do you want to go to? South or north?"
"North"
"What country? Loin, Pestrick or Moir?"
"Loin" He said. 'It is the human country after all'
"Have a nice adventure and don't forget that your stats are randomized." The voice said as Hiro's world started to fade.
The next thing he saw was a big plaza, he had arrived in Loin's capital, Laven. The plaza had a medieval Europe feel to it with a fountain in the middle, a big stage to the north and scattered all around the plaza was stands selling all kinds of stuff.
They were selling all types of food, armors from low-grade to high-grade, weapons, clothes and even pets.
On the mention of clothes Rein had a brown tunic on him and some leather shorts. He also had a belt bag with the bag on his left and a beginner knife on his right. Inside the bag was some dried bread and water.
'Maybe I'll buy a nice pet later' Rein thought as he walked towards what he guessed was the guild office at the southern end of the plaza. He guessed that it was the guild office because it was different from the other buildings.
Rein had guessed right, it was the guild office and he entered the line to get a quest.
He had read that it's highly suggestible to register and take your first quest in the guild office and that's the reason he even entered the guild building in the first place. If it wasn't like that he wouldn't have entered the building and just tried to get out of the city as fast as he could. He wasn't the type to enter party's and hunt with other people, he'd rather play solo.
"Welcome to the guild office. What can I help you with?" A classical sweet register girl asked him when it was his turn.
"I would like to register as an adventurer and get the hardest quest available for my rank"
"Ok then, here is your registration card, write your name and game ID in the bottom left." she said as she gave the card and a pen to him.
"Ok" Said Rein, wrote them down and gave the card and the pen back.
"This is your quest card." She continued after taking the registration and giving him a new card.

"It will display the quests you have taken and if you tap on a quest it's information will be displayed. And also do you know that an adventurers rank goes from yellow, blue, red, black, silver to gold?"
"Yep"He had already read about it in the suggestion of register to the guild.
He tried the quest card out.

"You can come and get your new ID card when you're ready." She said and with that Rein walked out of the guild office and entered the big plaza again.

"Huh? What's up with that title and what's up with those stats?!" Rein shouted after checking his stats.
'It must have been that gm earlier.' He thought, noticing that people was staring at him because of his sudden shout, as he left toward the city's southern gate in a hurry.
The currency of this world is the usual 100 C (Coppers) = 1 S (Silvers) and 100 S = 1 G (Gold) for those that haven't guessed that yet.
When he got out of the city he decided to check out the effect of his title.
"Title, The all-rounder"
TitleThe all-rounderThanks to having the same number on every stat(except luck) at the start, you have gotten the title The all-rounder. When fighting a 2 levels stronger foe you will gain a 10% stats, experience and drop boost.
'Wow! An OP title this will really help me level. It even has a 10% drop boost!' He thought with a big grin on his face.
***
It didn't take long before Rein found the rabbits. He checked their level, lv 2, and initiated his first attack with his beginner dagger. Because it was a surprise attack and a critical because it was hit on the back of its head he shaved of a total 90% of its hp. Before it had a chance to attack him back he had already landed his second strike.
A ding sound was heard and the rabbit left him with 30 exp, 2 [Rabbit Skin] and 2 C.
'Damn only 2 Coppers, a good armor cost at least 1 Gold' he thought and picked up the loot. Rein noticed that the ding sound was from him leveling up to level 2 but he didn't care about it and went to kill at least 20 more rabbits.
At the 10th rabbit he gained a skill, [Stab] and at the 20th he leveled up to level 4.
'That should be enough for now.' Rein thought and went back towards the city, that now had an orange and red shade in the background, to find Leva the tailor.
He had gathered a total of 32 [Rabbit Skin], 5 [Rabbit Claw], [Rabbit Ears](equip) and 29 C. Why the rabbit Ears?
He took the chance and checked out his new skill [Stab] and distributed his new stat points (5 points per level).

When he fought earlier he felt like speed suited him more than strength and magic and that if he should have some ranged abilities it would be archery. In other word he felt more like an assassin or rogue than a warrior or mage. That's why he put some stats in agility and dexterity. As for why he put some stats in Vitality was because he need some extra health so that he does not easily die now at the beginning.

There are no classes or jobs in Imagine Online, what you are is determined in your stats and skills.
Rein had to ask around a little to find Leva's shop in the eastern skirts of the city. It was a small little shop with a scissor on the sign hanging above a welcoming door. He entered the shop, carefully looking around to see if anyone was there.
The place was full of skins, fabrics and threads of all types of colors placed on various shelves and had a humid air to it. In front of him there was a counter that completely suited the atmosphere and behind it with the back turned to him was a blond mature girl with her hair put up in a pigtail.
"Um, excuse me but are you Leva the Tailor?" Rein asked her in a tone he thought wouldn't surprise her.
"Ah, yes I'm Leva, can you wait for a bit? I'm searching for something at the moment." Leva said with her back still turned to him. A few moments later she took out a rainbow-colored skin and put it on a table right behind the counter that Rein hadn't noticed before.
"Hm now then, what is your business here Mr Adventurer?"Leva said jokingly.
"Actually I got a request from the guild office to bring you some [Rabbit Skin]"Rein said and handed over his 32 [Rabbit Skin]s.
"Oh, let's see here, they all got a nice quality. I see that you are giving me three times the amount I requested. Are you willing to get the reward for 10 of them and then I'll make something nice for you with the rest?"She asked while observing him with her eyes. Why not, he thought and then said.
"Oh, and is it ok if I give u the reward together with the clothing?"
"Ah yeah, that's ok" Rein said.
"What's your name?"She asked while taking a pen and paper out under the counter.
"Huh? Ah, Rein" He said a little confused. She probably needed to confirm who it was who made the order, so that she doesn't mix it with someone else's.
Exiting the shop into the night sky and reaching the main street he felt a nice wind blowing with refreshing air. Looking at the clock in the left corner he noticed that two hours in real life and 8 hours in the game time had passed since he logged on.
'What to do now' he thought for himself and looked around. 'Should I go and continue hunting or should I check the shops out? Huh!?' He got surprised after hearing a sound like metal meets metal.
He turned around to see where the sounds came from and noticed a forge not far from him. He sighed of relief, he almost thought that a fight had started and he certainly didn't want to get involved.
He went towards the city gate after deciding that he should continue hunting.
When he arrived at the field he went towards the horned rabbits (level 5) and when he had finished with them he went to the forest to fight some level 10 wolves. It was easy to fight the wolves as long as you knew how they behave in the real world. At dawn he had leveled to level 12 and felt ready to go at the level 15 boss wolf, the wolf king.
When he finally found the boss wolf, that was a giant grey wolf, as big as a van, sleeping with a loud snore, he prepared himself to make a surprise attack.
The attack successfully stabbed the neck and gave a fatal hit which is one step better than critical. The number 115 was displayed above the wolf king in a blood red-color.
Realizing that it had been attacked it stood up and turned his way trying to bite him with its big claws. Rein avoided its attack and went beneath it just to give it a big wound on its stomach. The wolf ignoring the wound turned around and missed Rein with a hairs breath. Both of them was fast but in terms speed Rein was a little faster, if he doesn't tumble on a stone that is, because the next moment he had fallen in a deep hole that had been unnoticed in the fight with the wolf king.
Confused and thinking that it's great prey had disappeared, because even if he could smell it it didn't seem to manage in tracking it's smell, the wolf king lied down on the spot to fall asleep once more.
***
Waking up, after hitting his head from the fall and getting knocked out, Rein looked around himself. He was in a dark cave and when he looked above him he noticed the moon shining through the hole illuminating a great statue of a wolf.
*Ding* a sound of a ding was heard in his head and suddenly a window appeared before him.
As the one who found the statue of the great wolf kings' tomb you have gained the ability to morph into a wolf. The history of the wolves has come with many wars, now the last wish for the wolves it to unite with other animals and quit the fighting for good. The only way to do so is by a sole individual finding other great animal tombs that is spread out over the world.
Having read everything he swiped away the text noticing his guild card vibrate.

'Great not even players of the beast race can morph into animals, except the vampires who can morph into bats. If I level the skill and find other tombs I can probably be as strong as at least ten beast-men who is generally stronger because of their beast blood' Rein thought as he swiped the windows away and closing them.
"[Animal Morph: Wolf!]" He shouted out inside the cave.
| Hi guys and thanks for reading this chap! If you feel like something is wrong with the text and know a better way, write it in a comment, see u in next chap!
And here is how the stats work. First you noticed that there is no m. def or m. atk, those are hidden stats that doesn't show on the Stat display. Magic attack can mostly only be seen by magic based characters and Magic Defense by tank based. But for a usual char magic attack is included in attack and magic defense in defense.
Now let me tell you the concept of hp, mp and attack. 1 Vitality= 10 hp and you get 5 hp per leveling up. Strength, Agility and Dexterity give 0.5 attack each, it was made that way so that a solo player would be able to equal other players. But Strength based chars can equip heavier weapons than others that usually give more damage. As for mp, 1 Intelligence= 10 mp and 10 mp per leveling up. Your char starts with 100 mp and a 100 hp.

Displaced
Sucked into the void without warning, a handful of people from around the globe suddenly find themselves in the foreign world of Scyria, a place filled with people who can jump three times their height, conjure fire from thin air, and perform any number of other inhuman feats. Scattered across the realm and armed with newfound powers far greater than those of the native Scyrians, they each struggle to find their path in this unfamiliar reality. Their unforeseen arrival sends tremors throughout the world, toppling a centuries-long age of relative peace, prosperity, and progress as they each leave their mark on the world in their own ways. But Scyria has its own share of intrigue, even without these unwelcome guests. A major metropolis is wiped from existence out of nowhere, triggering a manhunt across the continent for those deemed responsible. Two feuding nations decide to bring their hostilities to a new level. Blades clash, nations fall, and plots years in the making begin to reveal themselves. This is the story of some unwilling trespassers, taken from their lives against their will and thrown into situations they barely understand. This is the story of some unfortunate Scyrians, their lives blown apart by the newcomers’ sudden and destabilizing existence. This is the story of Scyria, a world with a lost past buried beneath millenia. But as both the Earthlings and Scyrians are about to find out, sometimes the past doesn’t stay buried forever... I marked the story as having Gore, Sexual Content, and Traumatising content because it does contain a bit of all three, though not what I believe is a significant amount. Just wanted to be safe. It does contain a whole lot of profanity, though. That one is very much deserved. I post one chapter ahead on Patreon here, you can get it for a dollar: https://www.patreon.com/IrateRapScallion My Discord server for discussing the story and whatever else: https://discord.gg/uycZBbv Please vote for my story on Top Web Fiction by clicking here: http://topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=displaced Thanks!

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.
