Blackie: Brother Feng! Are you okay?! Can you hear me.
Shi feng slowly opens his eyes, his vision blurred and could barely make out what Blackie was saying. He tries to get up as a huge headache hits him like a flood followed by hunger as if he is starving for days.
Blackie: Brother Feng? (worried)
Shi Feng: Where am I? (Looks around), what am I doing in the hospital?
Blackie: You passed out. After you put on the gaming helmet nobody could connect to you for an hour and then your helmet started giving out warning signs for immediate medical help, so we brought you here.
Shi Feng: Can you please call the nurse I don't feel well.
Balckie: Sure.
Blackie leaves to call the nurse and comes back a short while later with her.
Nurse: How are feeling now? You needed something?
Shi Feng : Yeah. Can you give me something to eat, I feel really hungry. Give me something for the headache too.
Nurse: You are still hungry? (Suprised) You burned through B and A ranked nutritional fluids like water the whole night, but I guess you should fill your stomach with something too. (Nodding) But Doctor has barred you from any medication that may affect your brain, so no pain killers.
The nurse retrieved a steel bottle from the medicine cabinet beside the bed and gave it to Shi Feng.
Nurse: Here. Drink this. It's the A ranked Nutritional fluid, the doctor said to give it you when you wake up. But you should have some solid food too afterwards.
Shi Feng: Will do(nods). Thank you for your help.
After the nurse leaves, Blackie who has been looking at all this with solemn expression could not help his eyes tear a little.
Shi Feng : Don't you go all soft on me now. I am fine, all I need is a few days of rest and I will be back on my feet.
Blackie : You scared me you little bastard. If something happened to you, how was I gonna face Uncle and Aunty. Thank God that our university provides free Healthcare or anyone else in your situation would have gone bankrupt.
Uncle? Aunty? University? But before Shi Feng could ask anything he passes out again.

Few days later Shi Feng puts on his gaming helmet and logs into God's Domain. Shi Feng then passes through a multicolored tunnel arriving back at the golden temple.
A familiar angel flew towards Shi Feng.
"Hello Adventurer, welcome to God's Domain. I am the Navigation Angel, Gabriel. I will be introducing to you the four main categories and twelve main jobs. Please choose the job that you like most."
With a wave of Gabriel's hand an illustration introducing the twelve main jobs appeared in front of Shi Feng.
These twelve jobs were categorized into four main classes.
Warrior: Shield Warrior, Guardian Knight, Berserker.
Weapons Specialist: Swordsman, Assassin, Ranger.
Healer: Cleric, Druid, Oracle.
Mage: Elementalist, Summoner, Cursemancer.
Shi Feng then selects the Swordsman class without a second thought.
Gabriel: Please provide a name for your character.
Shi Feng types out the name he was most familiar with "Ye Feng".
Gabriel : Would you like to use your original appearance or make changes to your avatar?
Making the necessary changes he creates an avatar with an unassuming look which does not stand out in anyway, like any other face from the crowd.
Gabriel : According to your location, you are to choose your birthplace from a city located within 'Starmoon Kingdom'.
Shi Feng: I choose 'White River City'.
He taps onto the map of 'Starmoon Kingdom' provided by the system and soon after is teleported out, leaving behind an empty temple. Walking out of the resurrection chamber, he sees bodies being formed out of flames as other players walkout of their chambers. He then moves out of the resurrection temple and walks into a busy street where scores of people were going about, players trying to get quest by talking to NPCs and gaining their favourability. NPCs that looked and acted so real that it was hard to distinguish them from players without the yellow marker above their head and green marker on players.
Ring! Shi Feng gets a call request from Blackie and picks it up.
Blackie : Brother Feng! Where are you? I am in a town called 'Falling Moon'. The game is so amazing, it looks so real if I didn't know any better it would be hard to distinguish.
Shi Feng : I just arrived in 'RedLeaf' town. You should come here too. Then I will tell you what to do next.
Saying so Shi Feng disconnected the call. When Blackie checked the system map his face ashened, even though Redleaf town was the closest town to Fallingmoon town it would still take him hours before he could reach there. Shaking his head, he left the town and started running.
Shi Feng Himself started to walk out of the busy street, making his way towards an alleys where a begger and few players were present.
Player1 [Level 0,Swordsman] : Damn you old man!
Player2 [Level 0,Druid] : I told you not to waste time and money on this man. Weren't you all confident of getting a quest. Now let's go and kill some monsters in the field before we fall behind rest of the players.
Saying so they left the alley when they saw Shi Feng approach the beggar they laughed inwardly assuming him for just another fool making the same mistake as their stupid friend, leaving without any another thought.
Shi Feng : Can I help you with anything?
Old man: Some food would be great.
Shi Feng: I don't have any food on me can I help you with anything else?
Listenting to which the beggar sighed ruefully and shook his head.
Old man : What I want, is not something you could help me with young adventurer. Nobody in this town can help me with it.
Shi Feng : Try me. If I fail to do it, I won't blame you for it, neither will you loose anything.
Old man: Well said young one, then kill the mayor of Redleaf town, Mayor Cross Hearsey. Do you dare?
[System: You have triggered the unique quest 'Sherlock's Request'. Do you wish to accept it?
Quest details: Kill the Mayor of 'Redleaf' town named Cross Hearsay (Level 15,Elite). Failing to complete this quest may result in death and 5 days of imprisonment.
Quest requirement:Player can't exceed level 10. No time limit.]
Shi Feng : Sure, why not?
He replied smiling as he clicked accept.
