I would like to make a quick edit to something I said in chapter two. I said that the only available bodies were ones from hell so I would like to make an edit and say from any afterlife [th_091_-3.gif] so yeah!!!

Once I appear with a flash of light I see a man at a desk and he sighs. "God damn it another one! I know the gods foretold of the day when {Travelers] from another world would come but how fucking many of them will be coming!!!" The man screams at the top of his lungs. I blink repeatedly and surprised. "Bad day?" I ask still somewhat dazed by his loud outburst. He looked genuinely surprised by my answer. His face then folded back into an ugly looking disgust before saying sourly, "What, aren't you going to call me a NPC and then disrespect me like almost everyone else except for the ones who were quiet and didn't even talk to me?! I don't even know what an NPC is but whatever it is doesn't sound like a nice thing from how most of the people said it!"
I let a moment pass before I answer, "Well don't listen to those selfish, self absorbed pricks. They are just assholes." Again the man looks surprised for a moment before he lightened up a bit and he chuckled. "Sorry about my earlier behavior, I was just kind of annoyed at all of the [Travelers] and their attitudes towards me. So anyways what is your name?" I without hesitating I say, "Rolfgar Drogen. That is spelled R-O-L-F-G-A-R and then D-R-O-G-E-N." "Oh so you have a last name Mr. Drogen, most of the [Travelers] didn't specify their last name or they didn't have one." I shrug and as I was about to pass him he raised his hand with 3 sacks in it. "Wait, this is a gift from the gods for completing the entrance into this world apparently called the [Tutorial]."

I grin and I continue on my journey out into the world of... [Fate]? No thats the name of the game... What is the name of the world? BlindEye studios was very stingy with the information about the game before launch so I don't even know that. Dad never told me anything except for the races I thought up for the game and which ones are playable. I then realize how little information on the game I really had. I stop and ask the man at the desk, "So is there a place where I can obtain information about this world? Like laws,gods and goddesses, also important names and places?" The man scratches his chin and tells me, "Well, you could go to the library." "One last question. What is the name of this world?" I ask. Looking very confused the man says, "The world name is Flaeve (Fuh-lay-V)"
Advertisement
My eyes about bulge out of their sockets when I heard the name. That was the same name of the world in [Magic Online]. "What year and era are we in?" I ask so softly the man barely hears me. "We are in the 9th era of the Bright order year 1024"
Excitement floods over me. This is the same world it is just more further down its timeline, 2 eras (eras are usually about 3000 years long) and 1000 years have passed by and the world has changed. I feel my face turn into a large grin.
"Thank you so much for your help sir!" I exclaim barely able to hold in my excitement as I run off.
The reason for such 'bouncy energy' was because the game features would have to be very similar. For example in [Magic Online] after leveling past level 30 (max level was never found and the highest leveled player was around level 5500 but the average was around level 250) every time you die you lose half of your levels and the stats you got with them until you were under level 30 again and you would only gain the horrid experience loss and debuff that makes you almost useless except if you were only a crafter because of the maximum [HP] and [MP] reduction for up to a week (Depends on how many times you have previously died.) So knowing things like that are huge.
As I walk into the town I remember I need to do some things by tonight so I think time and a clock appears.
Real time: 12:08:35
Game time: about 5 AMReminder: Time seems 100 times faster in game.
See Alarms to see how to set real time alarms
Stunned doesn't even begin to describe what I am feeling. Time seems warped in game... that was common in fantasies about VR but they usually only went for 3 times faster or 4. But 100! I could barely stand. I set an alarm for 8 pm real time and I head for the potion shop.
I bought 10 [HP] potions and 2 [MP] potions but when I mentioned how I was a traveler she was very eager to give me a discount right away. I mean I took the discount but i was kind of worried at who made her so scared... Maybe an NPC Killer maybe a PKer ... hmm... well doesn't matter to me as I will hunt this person down and take all their loot... after of course I train a bit...
I look satisfied at my coin pouch after all my purchases at how I spent only 2 silver and 25 copper as I used the same trick only with a mask I bought from an orphan and it actually looked very good considering it was made by children so I paid her all of my copper.
Spoiler :
I then continue to sheathe my swords (Yes I have 2 of them) as they have a longer range than my claws. I almost leave the city when I realize, that I have yet to put points into my stats. I decide to place 5 in wisdom, strength, agility, and endurance. I then continually practice my new spells: spark and ember... As pathetic as they sound they actually can 'Evolve' with different spell trees which come with more spells. This is also how the other skills generally work. Although this wasn't in [Magic Online] I can't act like I hate the system.
I then accidentally light a person's hair on fire with ember. I couldn't help but laugh as he tries so desperately to extinguish himself. The whole market except for the oblivious players, and the observing players, most of which are also laughing.

The man I caught fire too had so much hair it was ridiculous although I didn't call that out as to trying not to offend and demi-humans but I think he might have been compensating for something in IRL. Once he was able to stop the fire he was bald in certain areas. He looked at me like he wanted to kill me. I then heard whispers in the plaza saying he was the one who was extorting the merchants and such. My grin then turned sour. He most likely was a higher level than me so I decide now is the time to activate plan: Quad-claws. What its not like anyone heard the name!?
As the name suggests I activate my claws and get on all fours and he looked kind of confused but he just charged me. Bad idea. I side step and jump onto his back and rip through his leather tunic and into his back. He of course retaliated and while I kept him pinned for quite a bit and did a lot of damage he was able to throw me off with brute force. I concluded that he was pouring all of his stats into strength and he definitely was higher than level 2. I quickly stand...err... whatever its called to get back into all fours and I see him pull a 2 handed sword. I was definitely screwed if I were to get hit by that monstrosity of a sword. I then stand up and use sparks and ember on him. While I am sure burning and being electrocuted sucks but he just doesn't seem to give two fucks with what I am hitting him with as he keeps getting faster and stronger and while I am quick he keeps nicking me with his sword. I have even tried to block and hit him with my swords and was obviously disarmed almost immediately.
I then have an idea. A probably really horrible idea. [Fusion] from what I understand about [Fusion] which isn't much is it is very effective against enemies but it takes time to master. So why not try fusing [Spark] and [Ember] great idea I know. I know from those spells that magic is a big B' word and the first few times will blow up in your face. And by a few times of course, I mean most of the time as I know almost squat about magic. So I decide hey might as well, cause why not.
I wake up on the ground and I hear cheering all around me. I blink several times trying to clear my head as to try to remember what happened. I sit up and see a giant burn mark in the middle of the plaza additionally with some blood splatter. I check my [HP] and find myself at about 10% left and 0 [MP]. I see three windows.
You defeated Chaotic player: Sucmeinuuts
You gain 50 fame for defeating him and 50 infamy for how you did it.
You gain title Psycho
You have a person, add a bit of sadism, then some
crazy, maybe an explosion or two and BOOM (LOL)
you are a Psycho
+500 Insanity stat
+50% fear on those who see you act... funky
-60% NPC interactions were you are well known as they all know you are a nut
Your goddess commends you for surviving
the duel using your own wits.
She tells you
Good boy
And pets you(?)
I immediately feel amazed disappointed and confused when I read these windows. I beat him, now I'm crazy, and my goddess is weird... great... I wonder what insanity does. I can't change the battle that I can't quite remember but every NPC is calling me a hero while they don't seem to be getting close to me. I take all their rewards happily and I continue to go to a inn where I was welcomed vigorously and I got seriously drunk. I then crashed in my room at the inn I bought.
I woke up at 6 am game time and to sum up the morning: hangovers suck. Like they REALLY, REALLY SUCK dingle berries. Once I got over that I realized I might have leveled up and I probably should check Nuuts's inventory he dropped. First off he had so much good food. Too bad he never will see it again and I felt regret... I would never eat that mystery meat sandwich again... cause it was a limited offer by some of the bakers...
Oh well so I check my status

Interesting... I got a lot more mana than I thought I would from the 20% bonus but I never did calculate it so oh well. Also I have no idea about what insanity is but I do know what happened at the end of the fight.
Pretty much I fused a strong [Spark] and a strong [Ember] and I kept it together and he charged and slashed at it before I could get it to him and away from me resulting in an explosion that killed him and destroyed his sword... and I could have sold it too...
I look at the real time and I realize that once leave the game that every second would count for in game events and things like guilds. I think for a second and remember the autopilot feature and that was what the quality pods were for. Better mapping of your brain so you could have a more accurate autopilot to do stuff for you.
I shake my head in fear. If it isn't adequate enough or reads bad actions it might read into it and cause a lot of frickin issues while I'm offline. I stand up. Well if it's going to read into my actions might as well let its see me train. I leave the inn and give Anna, the innkeeper, the correct amount of money for me. "This isn't nearly enough for what is on your tab because of the guys who kept drinking and saying to put it on the masked hero's tab," I cringe when she said that and I say in an angry voice, "If it wasn't me, then it wasn't on my tab. And also Anna my name is Rolfgar just so you know. If they don't even know my name then they aren't even considered an acquaintance of mine; are we clear?" "Crystal." "Good" I respond as I leave the inn and then the city of Narckemal (Nark-mall) and into the fields before it.
Sorry for a shorter chapter I kept rewriting it until it came out better. And also I kind of was busy for a while.
BTW I know the combat wasn't too great so any tips on that besides the resounding, use general terms while in combat as to not confuse the readers from the last poll.

8 201The Tapestry: To Order From Chaos
What would you do if a god asked you to write your own life story for them? Handed you the pen and gave you permission to write whatever you wanted. Would you be the shining hero with their clipped one-liners? The villain with their bombastic speeches? Would you want your life to be a romance or an adventure? What if you wanted it to be a mystery? Lilly is a Changeling Bard who better pick a favorite genre quickly because the god who wants her story is Lucifer. And he is not a patient deity.
8 159Shoot on sight
Zone has no owner, it has its rules It shows no mercy, to both wise and fools. It has no God, it gives no hope It gives to kind, last rites and rope. It’s a Hell on Earth where demons thrive But people kill, to get inside. People kill, to leave this place People die, for a chance to stay. For those, outside, they dream of horrors We live inside, horrific borders. We live, we thrive, just like those demons. Here, our lives, they have a meaning. Zone has no God, it has no Devil But it has us and its enough We are in Hell or maybe Heaven Gates are here, in front of us. The Zone has many rules and none of them would make much sense to you, living on the Outside. For example here, you would never hear, “I’m sorry for your loss”. Only silence would be the answer. The most empathetic action you would receive, is an open flask and a nod. People here don’t expect to live long and happy lives and even the most optimistic person at most, would hope to die inside of a blender. It's the most painless and quickest way to die in The Zone, and the cleanest. Your body would be torn apart in a second by countless gravitational pulls, all centered on you, leaving nothing but a red circle outside of its perimeter.
