There was a droning chant. Then a flash of light. Arthur appeared on a circle of rules. With a deafening voice, the priest looking man said "Hail the light, we have another hero. Welcome child."
Child? Oh well, Arthur looked around now that the bright light has faded. Old Castle wall Chambers. A man in purple grand robes and four others in plain Brown robes. A head priest and his cronies probably. "You may feel disoriented just a many who have finished the summoning. This is the castle of Lindber. The town where heroes are summoned and start their journey. Your goal is to reach the far ends of the land where the corruption is at their strongest. Take your time and look around. There is much to learn. "
Arthur nodded and walked out of the chamber. It opened up to a bustling courtyard. Many people, probably players and nonplaying characters (NPCs) were gathered around.
It felt nauseating. He walked to a quiet corner. A lady dressed in a similar robes as him gave him a knowing look. "It is too crowded here isn't it? unfortunately anyone who starts new or dies will spawn here."
"Death? " Arthur gave a questioning look.
" Oh you are brand new? Death is permanent in the game, you do not revive, but you gain some inheritance points and skills depending on how you were playing in your previous game life. My party just died in a dungeon. We are waiting on each other as someone is taking a break. My name is Lena, what's yours?"
"I'm Arthos. It is a pleasure to meet you. "
"Ha you talk old, no need to be so polite. I'm going to wander about. Seeing that you have a staff, you may want to go to the mage trainer. Here, let me show you to him." Without further ado Lena brought the newbie to Sage Yun and exchanged farewells.
