Chapter 2 - the beginning

After a while of losing consciousness, I woke up in a kind of small white room that I had no way of getting into.

"white ceiling..." (Katsuo)

Still on the floor, I looked at the ceiling of the room.

Well... It looks like this is the beginning of the event, I don't know what awaits me there but I will do my best to get the best position possible but... Why did everything go dark when the event started?

Perhaps the event was overloaded and a system crash occurred because of having multiple players in only one city or event. It's just a hypothesis but it could be that it really happened.

And it looks like this event was a lot more worked on, I feel like my hand and the rest of my body got more realistic somehow. These developers did a great job with this game, I have no doubt that this Dungeons and more Dungeons has a great future ahead of it, they just can't make the wrong choices

I got up from that hard floor and started to stretch

Wait... Why am I even stretching? this clearly shouldn't make any difference in battles or anything right?

But as I questioned myself a girl's voice echoed through the room

"Please enter your character name"

When that voice stopped talking, a slightly transparent blue screen appeared in front of me with the same sentence as the robot voice said.

"Enter your character's name?" (Katsuo)

I didn't understand why there was a screen asking me to enter my character's name, but I remember that I had already created my character a few days ago but there was never an option for me to put his name until today .

And so because of that I always had to introduce myself to the players I met during the game, and when they asked I just answered, I'm Katsuo Shin, but that I don't have to worry about that anymore now

I approached the screen and started putting my character name

Just thinking about the words, the character name was slipping into that blue screen.

A little while later my character name was already entered on the blue screen, now I just needed to confirm the name I put

"And...Ready" (Katsuo)

I pressed the confirm button below right after entering my character's name and then I heard the girl's voice again

"Welcome back, Katsuo Shin"

and then the white room quickly began to materialize in the square where the event had started

I started looking around and noticed that there were hardly any other players around.

"What happened, did I happen to miss the event?" (Katsuo)

I was totally pale, I gave a lot of myself to be able to participate in the event but instead I just hung around too much in that white room thinking I couldn't participate in it

I quickly got to the bottom right corner of my screen where the [Quest] was, a guild image with two crossed swords with a shield in the background. And then a screen appeared on top of [Quest]. But unfortunately there were no more important Quests or missions to do.

I didn't really get to participate in the event, by my actions I missed a big event that would help me get to the next city faster

I breathe a sigh to myself

I better log out then, it doesn't seem like it's worth staying here anymore

I tapped the bottom right corner of my screen where there was a picture of a black gear. This gear was the game's [settings].

A screen with only 3 options. [resume], an arrow pointing to the left indicating return to the game, [settings] 3 different sized dashes indicating the place where you move the audio configuration and other things [log out] a slightly open door that indicated the exit about the game

As I had already lost participation in the event where I would win something amazing, I had no other reason to continue playing for today.

I clicked [log out] but nothing happened

Eh? Did the screen glitch?

I clicked [log out] again but again nothing happened

"Tch, this bug again?" (Katsuo)

I started clicking [log out] several times waiting for something to happen but nothing happened

"Why doesn't that work?!"(Katsuo)

I stopped clicking [log out] several times when I realized it would be useless

And then I started to hear laughter from a group of people who were a little far away from me.

"Look what a sucker"

"He's probably already forgotten"

"Hahaha"

...

As much as I was a little annoyed by the bug in [log out], I couldn't blame the developers, once I had to find a way out of the game because there was no way to talk to the admins so that could they help me solve this [log out] bug

But for another idiocy of mine, I'm here experiencing the same problem again. For now I better look for someone who can help me so I can get out of this game soon

I looked to my left, where there was a group of 3 people who had just been laughing at me without me understanding why. And to my right was a girl sitting on a bench holding a staff in her lap

I gave a sigh to myself and started walking towards the bench where the mage girl was sitting.

"Maybe she can help me with this" (Katsuo)

I approach the girl and then she looks at me as if she noticed me approaching her, but at the same moment she shyly turns her face away

"U-Um..."(Katsuo)

I stopped in front of the girl and got her attention. She turned around and started looking at me

When I got a better look at her I noticed a few more things about her. A female character with short brown hair with eyes that were also brown, in addition to her small brown hooded cape and a simple mage outfit that matched her hair.

Author: character introduction, don't judge me if this is bad

"I wanted to ask you something, I hope I'm not getting in your way" (Katsuo)

"Oh no-no problem"

She says this as she waved her hands and blushed slightly

"Okay, I was wondering if you could help me talk to a developer of this game so they can help me with a bug, for some reason my log out screen isn't working and I don't know what else to do.. ."(Katsuo)

For a few seconds she looked at me confused as if I didn't know something important

"If it can be now I appreciate it and I can even pay for it, is 25 silver coins good for you?" (Katsuo)

I clicked the bottom right on the bag image called [inventory]

And I started to get my coins

"W-wait!"

With the hand on the button to get my coins she quickly got up from the bench and started looking at me as if she was trying very hard for this, is she not going to help me because she doesn't have time but she needed the coins for something?

"you are not having bug problems"

Eh...? I really didn't understand what she said

"What do you mean I'm not having bug problems? I can't click log out, this is clearly a bug"

she looked at me with a serious expression on her face

"N-no, you're wrong, this is not a bug, t-this is the event"
