Leen turned to blue dust and disappeared along with the wind.

In the central plaza where players spawn, Leen appeared among the countless players.

The feeling of realism about everything shocked Leen and countless others, thinking there had to be a sense of awkwardness about movements, but everything felt real about everything, the smell of the flowers, the warmth of the sun, the cool spring wind, it all felt real.

Leen, still stunned, stared at the tall white works of art. They were the epitome of fantasy. The buildings in Plutetia City were clean white marble mixed with pale gold, towering above them. It wasn't uncommon for people to gasp at their first sight of the game.

Then someone approached Leen and said,

"Hello, person blessed by the gods."

Leen's daze broke as a woman wearing a white toga spoke to her, but unlike a normal response, Lays just stared at the woman with her pearl black eyes.

"..."

The woman wearing a white roman toga just stood there waiting for an answer as it turned into a staring contest, before Leen slowly opened her slips.

"...hello…"

"Ehem! I'm Felicite mademoiselle, and as ordered by Her Majesty the Queen, I'm your guide for a day to help you get started, "

Felicite said with a smile and bowed professionally."

Laya nodded in reply and bowed as low as Felicite.

"First of all, mademoiselle, you need to get your starting gear and I can see that you yourself are a swordsman." Felicite's iris glowed yellow as she used a peek skill towards Leen's stats.

"..."

Leen felt a bit uncomfortable being seen through but nodded in reply.

"You don't say much, mademoiselle, so our first stop should be a smithy store; would you kindly follow me?"

The two walked on the side road with arches set up in intervals and flower beds on each side, then tall trees that resembled cherry blossoms that softly rained petals above them.

…

They reached their destination after an hour and a half walk. Though Leen saw a few smithy stores along the way, she didn't speak a word and just followed Felicite.

"We are here, mademoiselle."

Felicite bowed and presented the smithy.

It was unique, to say the least. The brown walls killed the symmetry of the white and gold that stood beside it. In other words, it was a rundown store.

As Leen was about to open her mouth and ask.

"Can you wait for here for a bit, mademoiselle?"

Felicite didn't see Leen's lips about to open as she went inside the store.

Leen just stood there like a pole, staring at the sign at the front of the store.

‘Le Fer Smithy’ Then a sudden, loud noise startled her. Crash!

"Ouch, old man! Your tools are on the way. Go clean this up, you old thumb. "

"Felicite, is that you? Yeah you burly thumb I brought you a customer, come here and show them you're work. "

"Is that so?, it's been a while since a customer came. I'll be there in a second."

Though muffled hearing outside, it was loud enough to clearly hear a man and a young woman's banter.

Felicite opened the door, looking a bit rough and said.

"Come in, mademoiselle"

Leen replied with a nod and went inside.

…

There were weapons, and every single one of them had a unique look. Though some had the same shape, they all had different designs.

"Oh, it's a missie, ey? Well, pick what you want from my works of art; everything here is better than the others you saw on the other smithies. "

A burly man with a beard fit for a blacksmith said to her, and just then, Felicite, out of nowhere, punched the man in the gut.

"Don't call your customer 'missie'. That's one of the reasons this dump doesn't have customers."

The burly man rubbed his stomach in pain and said.

"Who punches their father in the gut here at Fron other than you? Your mother would be disappointed if she saw you."

Leen ignored the father and daughter comedy and searched the store.

Sometimes, if she saw something she liked, she used the skill ‘Inspect’ among the swords.

But she found something that caught her eye the most.

Her rosy lips slowly opened as she chanted.

"...inspect…"

After Leen found the weapon she liked, she went to the cashier where her guide and the burly man were to pay.

"Nice choice, missie; this is one of my great works; unfortunately, the performance is low for its rank, but it's a great starter weapon; 4999 gold only, please."

Leen opened her inventory and took out the amount of gold needed, then saw what was left of her starter money.

[Gold balance: 1]

Leen was concerned about being broke but shook it off. Just then, after paying, Felicite approached her and said.

"Now that you have a weapon, mademoiselle, though I would prefer to have a weapon and armor, seeing the performance, it's good enough. Just try not to get hit while hunting. Oh, and let's go to the basic weapons training facility. They would teach you the basics of using a weapon free of charge."

Leen, as always, just nodded in reply.

The sun was beginning to sleep and the air turned chilly as they began to walk towards the basic weapon training facility.
