Chapter 17 - The Tour

[Posted by: Brainless Skull]

Hi guys, while playing Oscuro for the first time, I survived for the required 160 hours, but when the timer said [6 days 16 hours], I was in a fight with some random tribe member who wanted to steal my wife from me. I thought I would be forcefully logged out but it didn't happen. I beat him up as fast as I could and saved my wife for myself.

I don't have a wife in real life so I consider her my one and only wife. I don't want one here as the love she gives me is more than enough to satisfy my lonely heart. Oh sorry I went off the track right there. *I totally did not want to boast, hahaha ;-)*

So, after I beat him and realised that I wasn't forced out of the game, I stayed n the game for that night and then logged out. It was almost 7pm ….. Yes I stayed in game for twenty three hours without food and water. Honestly speaking, I don't really feel good and I'm hungry so I recommend the other testers to log out in time unless its life threatening.

I'm gonna see you all later <3

*Ramyeon slurping sounds*

Lucio directly pinned the post on top of the forums and replied to it.

This post below is very accurate. We strive to make Oscuro as realistic and challenging as possible and I'm sure that a few of you died the first time you spawned. This is just a remainder that the game is not as easy as you think and treat it like it's your second life.

All beta testers get a total of three lives and when you die thrice, you can't play anymore.

Of course, you have to pay for the extra lives if you really want to play after dying thrice. We do not want idiots who keep dying so I recommend you to sell the headset to someone else. Every life has a value and if there is no value for your character's life, well… do what you want.

No one will be automatically logged off the game unless you click the log out button. Let me also remind you that it is harmful to your body and to only use this when there is an emergency in Oscuro. After all, all you have to do is sleep in Oscuro while 16 hours pass in real time.

Signing off,

Peace.

Lucio also found a few more interesting posts on the forums and read through them one by one.

Here is a guide to different stats and how to raise experience quickly.

There are basically five different stats, strength, agility, stamina, vitality, senses.

There is no defence, hp , speed, dexterity, crit chance or luck here, but I did a few tests using all my three lives and my friends also played with me to do this test together.

Defence depends on stamina and vitality. It is directly proportional.

HP is vitality in a way. Since this game is realistic and we do not have a HP bar, we can assume that we could be one-shot by a newbie who has a good weapon if he simply cuts off our throat.

Speed: It involves agility and strength. Again, directly proportional.

Dexterity: Hardest to specialise in as it involves the costliest stats, agility and senses. Directly proportional.

Crit chance probably doesn't exist as this is similar to "reality" so friggin use your skills. This is also where I see the surge in martial arts users playing the game.

Luck: even I am clueless.

That's it for the day. My trial lives have been used up so I have to buy new lives apparently.

Lucio saw that lots of people in the comments thanked him.

Hey guys, I played the game and when I woke up, I remember nothing. Can someone please clear my doubts? @Important staff member (I'm not the admin)

The comments were wild in this one, more than what any other post had received, all cursing the company and the owner for trying to "Erase

memories."

Lucio sighed as he started typing.

[Posted by: Important staff member (I'm not the admin)]

We do not provide an option to reduce pain that is felt in the game. The main reason is again, "close to reality experiences" but for the safety of our users, if they ever receive a stimulation that might affect them in reality, those memories will be erased.

Also, as compensation, anyone who has a memory loss will get a new life for free and the old one will be terminated.

Signing off,

Peace.

After checking that there weren't any more interesting questions for him to answer, he washed his backside and turned off the hot water tap before getting inside the bath, only to sleep until Emiliano pounced on him, splashing the water everywhere.

"What are you doing here?" Lucio asked, irritated.

"Bathe me!" Emiliano declared as he struck a pose, pointing his finger at Lucio.

Lucio stared at him for a while before conceding with a sigh. They came out after twenty minutes, clean and fresh. Lucio continued his search for places to rent and Emilia went in to take a bath.

It was almost six in the morning when Lucio, Emilia and Emiliano went down for breakfast, which wasn't ready. So, Lucio simply bought some noodles for all as he had a lot to do that day.

Leaving Emilia and Emiliano in the hotel room with a bit of money for emergencies, he left to visit the landlords of the houses he wanted to rent.

The Taxi arrived a few minutes later and he got in. Since he was free, he opened up his Admin system. 'It's time to buy stuff.'

[ADMINISTRATOR SYSTEM]

NAME : Lucio Tiano

SPECIES: Homosapien

OCCUPATION: CEO of Zen Obscure

(Shop) --- (Staff) --- (Oscuro)

He opened the shop mentally and saw the list.

[Shop]

Bank of Oscuro and Earth (5 tiers)

Inventory space (5 tiers)

Language mastery (5 tiers)

Inspect (5 tiers)

Fate prediction (3 tiers) [Locked]

(New items will be available when the user base reaches 100 million)

Lucio kept its one star and three star free tickets and directly used money to buy things.

He bought the highest tier of the [Bank of Oscuro and Earth]

[Spotted currency that can be converted to Dollars. Would you like to use it directly?]

'Hmm… my crypto?... Yes use it directly.' He said as he watched in excitement.

[Congratulations!..

[Congratulations! You have bought the game function [Inventory]]

"Hmm….can I see how much crypto I have now?"

[New Currency: Aqua coins =1,955,000]

Lucio did some calculations on his phone to verify some things and understand how the conversion worked.

"100,000 gold for one tier five purchase… so that is…. a hundred million dollars…Divide it by twelve thousand five hundred and that will be… eight thousand Aqua coins…wow no deductions at all…."

He quickly asked the system if he could convert all his aqua but the system said no.

[You cannot convert the money if you do not have the bank.]

As a reply to the system he bought all the functions excluding the [Fate Prediction], costing him twenty four thousand more Aqua coins.

Lucio was about to check the bank when the car stopped at his destination.

He got out and paid the fare before walking to a park nearby.

A young man of about 44 or 45 stood as he leaned onto his car, which was parked near the entrance of the park. That man was Greg, a land owner who owned four of the properties that Lucio liked.

"Hello sir, nice to meet you, I'm Lucio Tiano."

"Ah yes. You can call me Greg or whatever. I don't really care. Alright, get in and we can head out. I'll show you all the stuff you wanted to see." Greg replied and got in the car.

Lucio followed and they headed towards the first house that was the closest to the park. They completed the tours pretty quick and the houses were great but there was one thing that Lucio didn't like and that was bad neighbours, which all the four houses had because they were all built near each other.

"I'm sorry Mr Greg, but I don't really like the environment here so I'll pass on your offer. The price is great and the houses are beautiful but, this is just not for me."

Greg shook his head "It's not something I can help. If I owned all the houses in this street, I'd have kicked out all these dogs."

Lucio nodded and said "Thanks for the tour and…. I'll see you later Mr Greg."

"Two more…." Lucio said as he booked a cab and made a call.

Two handsome guys walked down a street, one in a suit and one just wore some oversized hoodie and some sweatpants.
