《Pandora: A New Beginning》Chapter 3: The Elder

"Name." The system said with its monotonous voice.
"Rose Trinity" I replied.
"Would you like to randomize your race, class and life class?"
"No" I already had a class in mind with my strategy, if I randomized everything now it will ruin my plan.
"Please select your race, please keep in mind the race you choose will belong to a certain alignment and this alignment cannot be changed."
Evil Neutral Good Devil Dark Elf Wood Elf Demon Human Celestial Orc Gnome Fairy Blood Elf Dwarf Half-Elf
"Dark Elf" Although the media coverage on Pandora has been high, the actual information about the game released is extremely limited, one of the key points mentioned is that there are other ways to get attribute points.
"Please select your class, please note that you are not required to follow the recommended attributes."
Class Recommended Attributes Warrior Strength and Constitution Archer Dexterity and Agility Thief Strength, Dexterity and Agility Mage Intelligence and Dexterity
"Thief"
"Would you like to select your life class now or wait?"
"Wait." As I expected, you can still choose to wait and find an NPC to mentor you.
There are advantages of having NPCs mentor you, the rate at which you will gain life class exp will increase, as well as receiving advice and tips and finally the most important point, you can build relations with the NPCs, creating more opportunities to gain more hidden quests, which wouldn't be available normally.
"Congratulations, you have created your account."
"The game will be open in 25:43:57. Please come back when the timer has finished to play the game."
After I finished creating my character I exited my capsule, it had only taken me a couple of hours to finish creating my character, so I went downstairs and watched T.V. for the rest of the day.

When it came to midnight I headed off to bed, but unfortunately, I was very nervous unable to get to sleep, so I stayed awake looking at my ceiling, I set my alarm to wake me up 1 hour before launch and then closed my eyes, it still takes a while to do but eventually falling asleep.
...
I woke up the next morning and looked at the time, my alarm didn't go off so I woke up only 30 minutes before the launch of the game, I had a quick shower and got into some comfortable clothes and sat in the capsule.
While inside the capsule all I could see was a timer, so I slowly watched the timer decrease second by second.

"Welcome to Pandora."
It was very nostalgic, seeing the opening again, but this I had some extra knowledge about the game, for example, you can simply skip the intro by simply saying "skip." This piece of information wasn't found out until 4 months after the game launched which didn't provide anyone with an advantage, but that was because the 'first' title had already been taken, although this title wasn't anything special in the early game, it became an extremely great item for the late game, because this wasn't just any title, this title gave the user access to a 'God' quest which came in 5 parts.
"Skip."
"Are you sure you want to skip the opening to Pandora? After the opening is skipped it will not be viewable again."
"Yes."
After that was said the intro for Pandora was skipped and I landed in the middle of a village, the game had many villages like this all numbered from 1-100,000. The village which you land in is totally random so despite being the first person to log in I landed in Beginner Village 40,593.

After landing I walked to the village elder.
"Welcome traveller, because you are the first traveller to land in this world you are granted the title 'First'."
Title Obtained: 'First' 'First' - A title given to the first person to arrive in this world.
Exp gained + 2%
All Stats + 1
Could contain other uses, try asking around.
After receiving the title I checked my status window
Name: Rose Trinity Race: Dark Elf Level: 1 Class: Thief Life Class: N/A Health: 200 Mana: 100 Strength: 11 Constitution: 11 Agility: 11 Dexterity: 11 Intelligence: 11 Charisma: 11
"Thank you, Village Elder."
Relation with the village elder has increased by 1
"Village elder, you look tired, is there something I can do to help?"
"Recently there has been a lot of wolves attacking the villages on the outskirts of the village, can you prevent the wolves from attacking the villagers?"
E-rank Quest received:
Kill 10 wolves: 0/10
As I walked away from the village elder I saw more and more people starting to emerge in my village, without paying attention to it any longer I walked to the edge of the village where the wolves are located.

Epilogue
Revised version now available! Amazon paperback, ebook, audiobook, Kobo, B&N, Google In the war-torn land of Cyraveil, four heroes strove to overthrow an empire. By cold steel and elemental sorcery, they brought peace to a warring land on the brink of destruction. As the flames died, the realm needed strong leadership, and who better than the champions who had saved the kingdom? But when the people sought out their saviors... they vanished. Matt, Blake, Jen, and Carl: the four mysterious companions, who together had deposed an insane ruler and saved countless lives, were gone—spirited back in a whirlwind of magic to a sleepy suburb in Mellbridge, Oregon, never to return. The friends found themselves home in the real world, exactly as they'd been the night they were taken, as if no time had passed... except only three came back. Hi there! This was my entry for National Novel Writing Month, because why only write one series at a time? The more the merrier! (meanwhile, my keyboard bursts into flames...) I'm also the writer of The Last Science, an ongoing low-fantasy/speculative sci-fi series. If you're familiar with that, you know what to expect here: lots of character-focused drama and dialogue, not a whole lot of traditional action. However, I'm writing a bit differently than usual here, and in a very different structure, so there should be some surprises for returning readers. I hope you enjoy it! [Discord] — for those of you who want to hang out and chat. Cover art (fullsize): Path of Revelation, by taenaron (Tobias Roetsch), modified by Etzoli. Normally I like to do my own cover art from scratch, but I was in a rush for the contest. Might be replaced down the line if I get time.

Transmigrated Into a Blind Woman’s Body
"What?!?!” Seeing nothing in her view, she then opened her eyes that had a blindfold covering around her eyes. Seeing colors appear before her as she saw blue in her view, then feeling sadness from above which made her heart ache. ‘Is this… another sense… for my eyes.’ Thinking about it, she did not know if any of this was real or not. “Ning’er! Your awake!” Hearing a woman say, she was hugged by the woman when she could not see who they were. “My silly daughter! Why did you jump into that pond?!” Hearing the woman crying, she had no idea who this was. ‘W-Where did I end up at?!’ Not knowing where she had gone, her mind ran with thoughts since the last thing she could recall was the sound of the bus that she took crashing. *** Time skip… “Are you really fine with a blind woman like me as your wife?” Lin Ning asked the man who had proposed to her. “How many times have I told you.” Wrapping the woman with his single arm, he sealed her lips with his. “Do not ever call yourself a blind woman. You are the woman that I chose out of all of them.” “But…” “Do you regret falling in love with this cripple man?” Cutting her off, he did not allow her to finish.
