Getting used to movements in VR takes some time. Especially when its first time and you have not played any VR games before.
So Nia learnt how to walk, run, roll, duck, sit, move arms , hands, fingers, move her legs, knees etc. She found some spells had to be charged for 5 to 10 seconds. Longer the charging period, bigger the spell. And character could not move while chanting the spell- thus the mid animation pause. She feel fell herself freeze. The pause was not complete though, the player could still move the body, albeit slowly, but the unfortunate side effect would be that the spell won't work anymore. Some spells had instant cast , there would not be any animation pause.
Fairy Reena went on explaining things in between sipping nectar. Few were common sense. you would understand the logic behind them. Few matters were related to how VR games were played. Few things were special, seen only in JIN HO.
For example, class change. There were multiple classes and all had options of developing further into strong classes later. The gaming company allowed people may change their minds before starting the game or even later. One may start playing tank but may find they work better as damage dealer or even healer.[The classic of RPG games- the iron triad consisting of a tank, a damage dealer and a healer].
So the class system was not strictly enforced in the beginning. Theoretically , you could try all the classes to know in which you are better.Moreover, there were some overlaps between few classes. Warlocks, necromancers, summoners all were damage dealers just like mages. Druids, Shamans could heal too.Why should one choose same old type of class? One should experiment, especially in the world of JIN HO which had multiple delights and Easter eggs all over the maps and in multiple levels.
However, the freedom was only in initial few levels. Later, they had to stick to one type of class and progress further in that path. If you are lucky, you may get special classes or hidden classes.
The bonuses, the experience and all the extras were normal if you stuck with one class. The same would be nearly halved or even less for the classless.
As the gaming company was not strict in enforcing the classes, they could not restrict the attributes of character. But they had to give something to players for joining. So they found a 'Fairy blessing'. The guiding fairy would bless you to have extra points in one of the four main attributes depending upon player's wish.
The four main attributes were obviously- Strength, Agility, Dexterity and Intelligence. From them other attributes would be calculated. Warriors needed strength, assassins and hunters loved agility and dexterity. Healers and mages were nothing without intelligence. Druids, summoners etc also depended on intelligence.
The 'Fairy blessing' would increase any one of the attributes by some points[points depending on luck may be from one to ten]. So now Fairy Reena was asking Nia to choose one attribute for bonus. Nia was in quandary. She had not thought much of her class. She was mainly going to earn money from lifestyle options or other things.
"I heard Fairies are the blessed beings of nature." (Nia)
Reena nodded her head, she was very proud when she heard that. "Yes, we are."
"And Princess Reena is very impressive. So please decide yourself my fairy, which attribute will help me the best."(Nia)
Fairy Reena nodded and started to give the blessing. She did not tell which attribute got the bonus. Nia did not feel any different even after getting bonus. So she might have gotten one point increment.
[Hands up, people, if you believe the above statement.]
[This Fairy Reena is even more of a chatterbox than Maaya. So, with the power of the author , I am skipping all the details Fairy Reena had told Nia. I hate info dumps. So you will get only relevant information later. Till then, just assume Nia has heard the details either from Maaya or this little fairy.]
The event Maaya was hoping for- the opening of unique starter package did not happen at all. There was no fireworks, no mind blowing animations. It seemed fairy Reena recognized she had spent lots of time with a single adventurer, thus finished some work and ran off. Leaving behind a cryptic statement- "You shall get all you deserve my lady! Such a wonderful adventurer shall have even more wonderful life."
Nia did not disconnect after Fairy Reena left. She could not enjoy such a wonder spot till the game launch. She had to adjust her schedule to allow for the game. True, she would be playing the game when she's asleep or precisely her sleeping time. But other interactions, searching the forums or auctions etc would be done in other times too. Just because she was out to make money, she could not shed her obligations and works. So she sat inside pretty world in VR and planned for IRL.
It would be literally rat's race from the moment the game is launched.
