Chapter 8 - Welcome

After Damien walks through the gate he feels a rush of energy as he is transported to a empty plot of land right outside a little village. The plot of land is quickly being filled up with flashes of light in which people emerge. While everyone is appearing Damien gets a message window pop up in front of him.

Player : Supreme Kai wishes to be friends with you.

Do you accept

Yes/No

When Damien sees the window he accepts it. That's when another window pops up.

Supreme Kai wants to voice chat. Yes/No.

Damien clicks yes and Kai's voice comes through.

" Hey man where you at? I see you are still using your old name tag? Come meet me at the village entrance for some reason no one can enter the village yet. " Kai tells him.

[ Ok I will be right there. ] Damien says as he starts making his way towards the village while still in the chat with Kai.

[ Hey where you at I'm here. ] Damien says in voice chat. [ Put your hands up so I can see you. ]

After Damien tells him to do that Kai throws his hands up. That's when Damien sees Kai's character. Kai decided to go with the orc race. As his subrace he picked a half orc and half dwarf for better strength and intelligence. He made his character a 5 '11 beefy muscled warrior looking type with pale green skin , medium length hair and a long black beard that goes down past his chest.

When Damien sees Kai he just sighs at how not surprised he is that his friend decided to make himself look like this. He then walks over to Kai and they proceed to talk while waiting to go inside the village. When everyone finally gets to the front of the village gates an old man walks out slowly with a cane in hand with guards all around him.

" Welcome!!!' The old man shouts louder then he should be able to in a rough scratchy voice.

" I am the chief of this village. " the old man exclaimed.

" I am here to tell you your journey to rule hasn't started yet. Firstly you need to grow stronger before you can rule. So the gods have decided to create this place and many more for every single one of you rulers. " The old man announces. " All of you future kings and queens have to crawl before you can run so we are here to assist you in doing just that. Now I will let you know how to get stronger. First' you all will need to vanquish monsters more powerful then you to gain what the gods call EXP to level up." He says while clearing his throat, "Secondly, fight anyway you can with what ever means you see fit because the way you fight will determine the class options you will receive at level 10. Thirdly, level 10 will be your goal for right now. Every level you reach you'll receive 5 Stat points and 1 skill point. When you reach level 10 and choose a class all your skills will disappear and your skill points reset to be used for class skills. Now listen closely, before you go to your kingdom you will need to choose a god that best represents the way you want your kingdom to grow which will also determine what type of village you will be sent to for you to rule and build up into a kingdom and dynasty worthy of respect and fear. " The old chief exclaims while hearing cheers and screams from every player.

" Now I welcome you to my village of Blackridge. " The old chief said with a bow.

After the village chief says those words the invisible barricade that was keeping the players from advancing closer to the village vanished. This caused all the players to starts rushing inside to be the first ones to get any quests and missions so they can get started with their gaming.

When Damien goes to follow the crowd he is stopped by Kai. " Hey before you go you might want to check your inventory. There is a beginner's package in there for everyone the game just doesn't tell you. " Kai tells Damien.

When Damien opens his inventory he sees the package and opens it. Inside he finds 20 copper coins, some extremely worn hide boots and chest armor as well as his choice of starting weapon.

Damien looks through the weapons and picks out a staff with a tiny frost blue gem imbedded into it.

You have chosen staff of ice to be your starting weapon you have gained the skills.

- Ice Spike and Cold Mist-

[ Nice I got two skills right off the bat. ] Damien says to Kai as he looks over to him and see him with a giant shield as his weapon.

" Cool me too. Hey lets head into the village before all of the good quest are taken. " Kai says to Damien as he starts to make his way over towards the crowd of people after putting his equipment away in his inventory so no one sees it and starts asking questions.

Damien also puts his weapon and gear away and follows Kai into the village.

" Ok lets separate and see if we can find anything good to start out with I will head to the north and east side of the village you take south and west so we can cover the area. " Kai said to Damien as he leaves the front east entrance of the village.

[ Ok let me know if you find anything good I am going to head a bit away from the village square and head deeper into the village to look around. ] Damien says to Kai as he starts heading south into the village.

As Damien starts to walk south within the village he takes his time to study his body and the way it feels. While in the process of walking he kicks a rock and watches as it sores through the air and hits the side of a barrel and bounces into a random alley. [ That might be a good place to look for any quests. ] He says to himself and starts to walk over to the alley. He looks inside to see nothing but a dark maze and decides to enter.

As Damien walks through the dark corners of the village he finds a drunkard passed out against the alley wall. As he tries to step over him the man wakes up and grabs his leg. Damien looks down at the previously passed out drunkard. [ Can you let go of my leg please? ] Damien asks in a pissed tone. He really does not like being touched by people he doesn't know.

" Oh I'm sorry young lad. That was just my reflexes acting up. I used to be an adventurer you know. Any way can you help an old man out and help me to my shop its just right down this here alley. I don't think I can walk properly in the state I am in right now. " The drunkard says while laughing.

Damien looks at the old drunkard with irritation when he remembers he's in a game. [ Hey this might be a quest or something. ] Damien thinks to himself. [ Ok old man get up I will help you. ] Damien tells the old man and starts helping him to his shop.
