《The Laziest Strength Build》Chapter 2

Game starting.
Oh, here it comes! I'm ready!
A bright light comes to the dark void I've been sitting around in. It expands, it takes me in...
I come to in the grass. Standing, sure, but in the grass. I look around me, a few other people are there, players as well judging by their looks. We're all standing there, in these plains. I was under the impression there was a classic beginner city, but no, nothing like that. There isn't a trace of civilization around.
"Okay. I guess I'll go this way then."
I picked a random direction and took a whole two steps before a fellow muscleman steps in front of me. Above his head, the name Chad. Huh.
"Where's your weapon bro?"
Oh God, he might actually be a Chad. That fucking voice...
"I don't need weapons. I hardly even need clothes, but decency feels good."
"...Yeah. I get that. Fair enough, bro. I didn't know you could choose nothing, though. I'm familiar with baseball so I chose a club, but..."
"Yeah, that looks nothing like a bat."
The club looked like a cartoonish parody of itself. A tiny stick with a fat head.
"That sucks, dude. I'm headed that way, see if I can find people. You can come if you want."
"Oh, no thanks bro. Cool of you though. Hey, did you bring any friends with you?"
"No, I don't have many friends. My job makes me hate people."
"Well, just in case you didn't know, there's a friend menu. Just press 'Add Friend' and type in their in-game name, you coulda started together if you wanted."
Then Chad turned and went over to three people, they looked like they were waiting on him. What a nice lad.

So, having nothing better to do, I decided to venture off into the wide-open plains. This place looks gorgeous, but I need to find something.
After a few minutes of walking, the grass goes from a foot high to I-can-see-my-feet high. I can see a tree in the distance, at least I think it's a tree. I'll head on over, see if anything happens.
On my way there, I hear rustling that isn't from me. I stop. To my left is a weird little black critter, looks like a ball of fur with legs and a huge mouth.
"Oh, hello. What are you?"
I crouch down to look at it. It grins at me, a nearly toothless smile, with only a few molars. Herbivorous. "Pai! Pai!" it says. No clue what that means. I'll humor it.
"Pai? Okay, why not."
It bounced around on its two fuzzy little feet.
Standing up, I decided to keep heading for the tree. It would most likely follow me. Oh well.
Glancing around and behind me every now and then, I saw the black fluff get bored of me very quickly and scamper off. Guess it wasn't meant to be.
"I really should have read up on the game. I've got no idea what I'm doing. I mean, there's an interface, an inventory and all this fancy stuff... but like, what do I do? Where do I go?"
I finally reached the tree. It looked like birch painted brown, and the leaves were rounded. It seemed to fit very well here, though. I haven't seen a single harmful thing in this game yet.
Something fell off the tree. Some sort of bird, though it seemed just fine. Maybe it stopped really fast instead of crashing? It was just hopping around. The grass was a lot sparser around the tree, so I could see it very well. It was a yellow and blue combination, with what seemed like green shades in some places.

"Oh, wow. Is everything cute here?"
A chirp and a tilted head were the only answers I got.
"Yeah, I expected that."
I sat there, my eyes on the bird. It looked back. Seemed like it had no concept of predation, because it hopped right into my hand. Either that or it knew I wouldn't hurt it. I have to actively remind myself that this is a game. This thing has HP, no doubt.
It was soft, though. Cute little thing. I stood and put it on my head to see if it would stay there. Little cheeky thing made itself comfortable.
"Okay then, you asked for it. Let's go on an adventure!" I said, striking a pose.

Project TheirWorld: Book Two - Tatterskin
**IMPORTANT: Because I am trying to reconcile some of the consistancy issues due to unexpected changes in how I've decided to write the story, this story is to be renamed/reordered. I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience. The Tutorial (completed, but unedited) is now to be concidered as Book One of Tatterskin. Tatterskin will contiune without real inturruption, though "Book Two" is really going to be the rest of the series with multiple volumes. Sorry guys! I've gone and brought the chaos of my real life into the storyverse T-T. ----- Dassah Graydon was just another human woman looking for adventure in her life when she moved to the academic floating continent, the Enclave. But while she wanted to escape her mundane reality, she quickly discovers that her life there – with the exception of all the crazy aliens and the unusual setting – was no different than her life on Earth had been. After spending a couple of months getting used to the place, she finally got the chance to play the popular new VRMMORPG, TheirWorld. As she is drawn deeper and deeper into the game, however, she begins to realize that her in-game life is far more connected to the happenings of reality than she could have imagined. Finding herself in the middle of a conspiracy that threatens her life and the lives of the people around her, Dassah must decide whether she allows herself to be a puppet, or she finds the determination to become the master of her own fate. This is a Project: TheirWorld story, and there is a prequel story, The Tutorial (completed, but unedited) but if I am doing my job, you won't need to have read that to enjoy this one. ____ The story will usually update once a week, sometime on Fridays JST. The updates on Royal Road L will be about 1 chapter behind my main WordPress site found here: Project: TheirWorld. This will change, as the WordPress site will have holiday releases and RRL will not. Thank you for reading, and the support! :) ____
