THE TUTORIAL
The room was filled with different holograms which exhibited a different sceneries. The landscape that was being shown were too unfamiliar for the eyes of Syton.
"What's this?" Syton asked to the girl who was dressed as a knight.
The girl introduced herself, ignoring his question, "Welcome to Newbie Tutorial Area, Syton. I'll be your instructor for today, my name is Khan."
Syton nodded as he tried to accept all the new information that he is receiving on a single day. A normal person wouldn't be even able to be as calm as him right now. Well it is because he is quite different from the others. This kind of things is what interests him the most.
Anyway, a lot of unusual events happened at him in a single day. First, it was his first time to raid the newly updated dungeon by himself. He didn't even come with his usual party, because all of the members of his party were too busy. When Syton entered the dungeon and tried to clear it, he expected that it would take him a lot of time and it will be really difficult. Surprisingly, he cleared the dungeon within 30 minutes and with ease!
After he finished killing the last boss, an array was formed under Syton's in-game character. He thought it was included into the game's features, but he realized that it was not. The array emits a light and it grew brighter until the light filled the whole screen of his computer. The light continued to grow brighter until he found himself into a strange place.
A man was floating in the air with his chair and a desk in front of him. Then, this guy started talking about weird stuff.
He was confused but the man caught Syton's interest when he told about a game. He immediately accepted the offer without a second thought. Needless to say, Syton is a gamer so he wouldn't hesitate on the offer at all!
The man snapped his finger then a computer appeared on his desk. He started to type something on his computer. The man asked him a various question to confirm about the information that he had.
"First, are you sure?"
Another hologram screen floats in front of Syton with the option : "Yes/No". Syton only hesitated for a second before he smirked and press the "Yes" option.
"Well then, please fill up this form :
Code Name :
Age :
Gender :
Signature : "
A hologram-like paper appeared out of nowhere. Syton was really amused by the new things he was seeing. He took the pen that was floating together with the paper.
"Why don't you ask our real name, by the way?" Syton asked curiously as he filled up the form.
"In the world Leouve you would be not needing your previous identity on Earth. You'll be living as a 'braver' and it does not really need the other unnecessary information. If you want to use your real name as your code name, please go ahead." Syton was satisfied with the man's reason.
"Code Name : Syton
Age : 21
Gender : Male"
After he finished the form with his signature, the bracelet on his right wrist lit up once again. His eyes widen in amusement as the words "Invited Player" turns into the word "Braver".
"Now, choose your class" The man said as a hologram of 4 different people appeared. It showcase the different appearances and traits of the class , as it also has a description that appeared beside them.
Warrior:
They puts emphasis on strength and physical combat. Wielding melee weapons, they typically lack range, or have only limited ranged attack options, but they excel at fighting enemies in close range combat, often having high HP, defense, and attack capabilities to aid in this. In a team or party based game they put themselves at risk at the front of the group and take the brunt of the damage meant for their less sturdy comrades.
Healer:
Their role are very important. They are the one who heal/resurrect a fallen party member or their allies. They could also use some offensive attacks but not as offensive as others. They are usually at the rear guard.
Weapon:
They could be at the front line or in the rear guard. They specialize at hiding and treasure hunting. They could use different types of weapons, but it could also effect their status. They support both front line and rear guard.
Mage:
They uses all kinds of support magic. They are specialize with long-ranged combat. Their mp(mana/magic points) are higher than any classes, but their hp (health points) are lower than any classes.
Syton picked the Warrior class. He was shocked when there was another option under it. The options were : Guardian, Monk, Swordsman, Swashbuckler, Berserker, and Samurai.
He chose the Swordsman which he was more familiar with. Another hologram floats with its description.
Swordsman - A disciples and masters of the sword. They dedicated their whole life, mind and body to the spirit of the sword. Swordsmen have different "Path of the Sword". These Path of the Sword are the skills they use to slay the enemies on their sight. They usually excel through mobility, fast reflexes or dodging, and a combat style with the joint martial arts they've learned.
Another confirmation appeared to affirm his decision. He chose "Yes" as a sign that he is satisfied with his class.
"Very well, Syton. You are now a Warrior class braver. You'll be now teleported in the Braver Tutorial Area" The man said as he bid his goodbye.
And that is how he found himself to this new room with the different holograms of locations.
"The different landscapes that you see is the view of the different locations here in the world Leouve." The girl named Khan finally answered Syton's question.
"Let's begin. First, use 3 of your finger. The thumb, the point finger, and the middle finger. Swipe your finger in the air downwards with those 3 fingers" The girl immediately began her instructions.
Syton followed its instructions. A hologram screen appeared with the options : Profile, Inventory, Friend list, Guild and Quests.
"Under profile, you could see your own status on it. The skills you've learned, your class, your statistics and your rank are also included on it" Khan explained further.
"Rank?"
"Yes. You will be ranked as a braver depending on your skills and strength. With the lowest as H and the highest SS. You could level up your rank in the Brave Arena. Brave Arena is the place where different bravers/adventurers will be gathering to test their skills or abilities. Different challenges will be held in 'Brave Challenger Games'. This event will be held every 3 months, meaning 4 times in a year. The ranking will depend on your performance in the event.
With that being said, although the ranking starts from H to SS, it is also ranked by numbers from 5 to 1. The lowest is 5 and the highest is 1. Once you've reached 1, you're rank will climb up. Thus, if you are already in 1H the next rank will be 5G" Khan answered.
"Let's move on. Under inventory, it is divided into 4 category : Armors/Weapon, Potions, Icons and Cards. I think you already know what armor/weapon category and potions are for. Icon category is also known as items, so all of the different items will be kept inside it. Card category is where your cards will be kept. A card is the same as an icon but it is however sealed in a card. You could see how many times you could open or use the card on the upper left corner of the card, while the rank of the card is on the upper right corner.
To gain a contact with other bravers, people of the land, or an adventurers, you could add them as a friend then on the Friend List option your could either chat them or call them by telepathy. The bracelet on your wrist are the one responsible for the different information such as the list of your friends, your ongoing/pending quests, and the one who keeps the things you are putting inside your inventory. The telepathy function in your mind is also contributed by the bracelet.
Your goal is to finish 10 quests, however gaining those 10 quest depends on your will/desire/fate. You could get some subquest/s in a guild. You could either join or create your own guild, or just get some small subquest/s on the other guilds without joining them. Of course, there's a lot more perks if you become a member of a guild.
You could get subquest/s as many as you want. If you're lucky, the subquest/s you get might turn out as your 10 main quest. The bracelet will tell you if the quest you've got is either a subquest/s or a quest.
But, I just want to remind you that you need to finish all of your subquest/s on time, or else you'll receive a harsh consequence. Same goes with the 10 main quest." Khan explained. He took a breath before continue talking, "Do you have any question?"
"What's the difference between a Braver, People of the Land and an Adventurer?"
"Braver are the people like you. People who came from the other world. People of the Land is what you call an NPC in a game. They originate here in our world. Adventurer is also a People of the Land but decided to do what a Braver do" Khan answered.
Syton nods to show that he somehow understand.
"Any more question?"
"How do we go back in real life?" Syton asked the most important question.
Khan smiled wryly. "This is real life. Going back on your own world however will be hard. Before, it was possible but something happened a year ago. Now, the only way is to finish the 10 main quest. We asked The Lord about this issue but he haven't given us any respond yet"
Syton was speechless. He was shocked by the revelation. They should've said this earlier! He do like to play games but he doesn't want to be stuck in a world he is unfamiliar with!
"What the heck?!" He shouted.
Khan laughed awkwardly. "Anyway, good luck in your quest braver!"
After she said that, Syton was immediately teleported away.
