Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Heading to Forragrove

Kitaro Bukido: Woah I thought he was messing around or something. I spoke to God. He's really trapped. HOW DID THE ALMIGHTY GET TRAPPED! WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!

Kitaro: [ See birds and looks around, he notices he is in a forest.] Okay I still don't get it, what's this? [See's ID Bracelet on the ground.] Is this an ID bracelet? [ Equips ID Bracelet.]

Kitaro: [ Starts to walk around.] Huh so this is my virtual screen board. It shows me my stats and inventory. I can see my inventory and it says only using a type of magical reader can show my stats to others. This is quite intriguing. [😯😯😯] Woah all of my experiences can be seen here. It's empty now, but I do have an ability called VSB (Virtual Screen Board) at level 1. I am guessing I would have to put new items in my inventory to level it up.

Merry: Hello, I am your magical assistant Merry, if you have any questions, talk to me by saying my name, Merry.

Kitaro: What, this thing has A.I? Or some sort of magical intelligence. Hello Merry, what are you?

Merry: I am as you say it is. An artificial intelligence created by True God. I am the skill VSB. The ID Bracelet is just identification. It is necessary to have one. The one that doesn't have an ID Bracelet will be treated as an unwanted guest. Most of the time people without ID bracelets are pointed to the Adventurers Guild or the Governor Guild. They are the ones that make them. Usually, people at the governor guild can get their ID bracelets whenever with a small charge fee of 1 silver. While the Adventurers guild will do some tests and will ask for some samples from you. It will cost 10 bronze coins, but the process is a bit longer. Governor Guild ID bracelets only allows you to move to different locations or enter and buy things at an old enough age. Adventurers ID bracelets does the same thing but is required for someone to be an adventurer and to keep track of quests, as well as allowing one to enter dangerous areas.

Kitaro: What Id bracelet do I have?

Merry: You have a Governors Id Bracelet. If you are planning to get an Adventurers ID Bracelet, you can turn this one in to the Adventurers Guild and get 40 bronze coins back and you will receive an Adventurers ID Bracelet after all of the tests. Usually, they do that to start off their adventurer. Governor Id bracelets are usually gotten during birth because it is 50 bronze coins at birth.

Kitaro Bukido: Where am I exactly?

Merry: You are in Fantasia Forragrove Forest. There is a village called Forragrove Town. Would you like the coordinates and a pathway to that location.

Kitaro: Wait, so is this. VSB like a mobile device?

Merry: No, I am surpassed a cell phone, but at the levels I am at now, I won't be useful for stuff. I can show you stats of other monsters, well it's not going to be accurate, but it shows the majority online forums. You would have to learn the appraisal ability / skill to get into depth. Any further questions?

Kitaro: So you have everything a phone can do and better? Nice.

Merry: Again I am your storage device and the higher the levels, the stronger I will be. A phone can only upgrade as many times as the phone allows. I can upgrade as many times as you allow or try to level up to.

Kitaro: Oh okay, I see now. You don't have the functions due to the levels of VSB. How would I level you up?

Merry: Exactly. To level me up is quite simple. Put new items inside me. I don't have a max level. The higher the levels the stronger I am, the greater the exp you need to upgrade me again.

Kitaro: Final question. If I get a new Id bracelet will things change and will I be able to still summon you without the ID Bracelet?

Merry: VSB is a skill. The Id Bracelet is the first requirement to summon me for the first time. After, you don't need this specific ID Bracelet anymore. You still need an ID bracelet for others to scan your code to allow you to enter new places or get things. It shows your age and whatever you put public.

Kitaro: Nice, good to hear that I won't lose you. Let's start leveling you up. [ Kitaro gathers leaves of different kinds, gathers sticks, woods, and stones. Collects grass, berries, fruits, and roots. Kitaro gathers many things. ] < Level up, Level up, Level up. > [ Merry is Level 3 ]

Merry: Congratulations you leveled me up to level 3 you gained the access to randomly create. It allows you to generate crafting recipes with the items in your inventory. Since you have no recipes would you like to randomly generate recipes with the current items?

Kitaro: Woah what the heck this feature seems like. Can I also manually create objects?

Merry: Yes indeed, that also helps me level up. Crafting is a great tool to level me up good.

Kitaro: Yoooo, WHAT'S GOING ON. A MINUTE AGO, YOU JUST SOUNDED LIKE A ROBOT, NOW YOU SOUND LIKE A MATURE BEAUTIFUL LADY.

Merry: You like my voice, awe thanks. [ switches to robot voice] Or would you like this type of communication?

Kitaro: I like the mature lady voice it sounds pleasant to the ear.

Merry: Your wish is my command master, UwU. [🫣😍😍💕]

Kitaro: [ Shuts Up and holds in laughter.] [ Crafts tools like rope out of grass and roots. Uses random generated items and creates salad with Tango Leaf's, Hue Berries, and Jingle Nuts.] Woah, I have a cooking recipe. Is this normal Merry?

Merry: Yes, randomly generated recipes will pop out. VSB can generate new items from making axes to foods to new weapons unheard of. This software can get even better through magic and more levels.

Kitaro: COOOL. What's your current level?

Merry: I am Level 7. Crafting gives me more levels and also creates new items.

Kitaro: Okay Merry, time for me to head to the village.

Merry: Yes captain, just follow this path and you'll get there in 3 hours. You are in the south of Forragrove Town.

Kitaro: Nice, thanks again.

Merry: No problem master.

Kitaro: [ Gathers more ingredients, items, berries, fruits, and more inventory stuff. Crafts new things and create more items. Crafts a stone edge.] " Woah a stone edge well in my world just getting a huge stone and smashing it till it chips to create a sharp edge. " [ Crafts a stone axe, collects logs.] (Merry leveled up to level 12.)

Merry: I'm officially in the stone age lets goooooo! I'm so proud of you. You unlocked live creature mode. You can stock live entities in your inventory. They won't die or rot while in your storage. Now your inventory has a max weight of 300 pounds. Current weight 160 pounds.

Kitaro: Wait? Why don't I feel the weight? Why is there a limit? I thought I had unlimited space?

Merry: It is because VSB is a unique skill, and you are at a low level you will get more weight space with higher level leading to infinity. So please love and treat me with your heart.

Kitaro: I know, you are my lovely friend. By the way what's our ETA for Forragrove Town.

Merry: 10 more minutes. The village is really close the forest is just dense because trees grow out to fast. You are in the south of Forragrove Town and will be arriving shortly.

Kitaro: I cannot wait I want to sell some of my food I made. Salad Barsue, Berry Spread, Agile Tango Leaf. They taste so good.

Merry: Also heads up you also gained a few skills during your travel. Cooker Level 2, Craftsman Level 4, VSB Level 14, Journey Man Level 1, and Seeker Level 1.

Kitaro: WHAT, I HAVE SO MANY SKILLS, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER.

Merry: I was planning to but I wanted to surprise you. Besides you are getting stronger with your new skills. There was no point in constantly reminding that you leveled up your skill and gained a new skill. All you have to do is level up your main stats by killing monsters and fighting.

Kitaro: So how does leveling up main stats work?

Merry: Leveling up main stats is mostly around combat. Leveling skills and abilities are using the abilities many times and using them in a different ways or new ways. Leveling pets or tames is using them with you in combat, building, or anything with your daily activities. Leveling your dungeons and/or towers will need you to add new things in the head room of each dungeon, tower, temple, and other places the world creates for you. Just build to get stronger. 

Kitaro: So, to break it all down. Just by doing new things and you can unlock almost about anything and everything imaginable. This world seems a bit broken.

Merry: Yes, it is powerful. Oh well looks like you are there at your destination. Would you like to talk telepathically from now on, or how we normally talk?

Kitaro: Let's talk telepathically, I don't know if people will understand this magical intelligence.

Merry: [ Mind ] Yes, that was a good choice. I am the only one of existence, so the people would probably target you with skill stealing abilities. It is quite easy to steal skills from a low and weak person. There are items and abilities to negate that but just becareful.

Kitaro: [ Mind ] Okay Merry, I'll be focus now, so go to sleep I'll contact you soon.
