After Drake fall down into the rabbit hole he feels that he is rapidly descending so he adjusted his body resembling a sky dive. As he continued to descend and pass the clouds what he saw was like a whole new world! Tree's that are taller than the tower of france, mountains that are bigger than Mt. Everest, floating cities, the seemingly endless desert and sea, and so much more!
'Wow'
[System: The 'Player' will teleport to a random beginner town in 10 seconds.]

As the system notified him and started the countdown Drake continued to enjoy the view.

[Begin teleportation.]
As soon as the system finished speaking Drake transformed into a streak of light and headed straight south.
———————————————————
South Continent, Southeastern Region, Coastal Town Meridia.
———————————————————
As the streak of light hit the ground, Drake finally landed. As he looks around he saw many players who just or already arrived.
What shocked him more is that what he currently seeing and feel's is too realistic! "HOLY SHIT!" said out loud, many players looked at his direction and Drake immediately gets embarrassed.
Still he coudn't believe it that it was to this extent even after he felt the sensations back in heaven. Realizing he was on the middle of a plaza near a fountain, as he kept looking around his surroundings he noticed the buildings has a certain old roman and medieval theme architecture. As he kept breathing he noticed the wind has a certain sea smell 'This place is near the ocean.' said so in his mind, suddenly a message popped up.

'Nice!' Drake said so in his mind as he got some freebies 'So how do I open my inventory or even my status window for that matters?' as he contemplated how to open those a system message popped up.

'Alright let's try!' withouth hesitation he tried to open up his inventory and succeeded 'Nice!' as he saw saw two chest he immediately opened the 'Full beginners Armor Chest'.

'Even though both have the same stats but the game is heavily leaning towards realism so picking a weapon is just a preference or style.' Drake thought so. So after a long contemplation he opted to go for the broadsword over the axe.
[You have obtained the 'Beginner Broadsword']
Why did he chose the sword over the axe? Because other than play style he needed to think about situational scenarios where he needed to thrust or need more reach, unlike the axe that has lower reach and unable to poke more effectively. Immediately he equipped all his gears and looked at his staus window.

After he was satisfied with his stats he looks at his map and started headed towards the nearest fields to level up.

———————————————————
Coastal Town Meridia, West Gate.
———————————————————
After arriving at the west side of town he was stunned on what he saw, at the west gate plenty of players with their armor & weapons were badly damaged and were covered with various injuries.
"FUCK why the mobs in this game so hard to deal with!?" said the man who seemed to be in his thirties with red hair, bushy beard and has a big shield on his back with a nickname [Spicy Beard] above his head.
"Don't worry brother Beard the other will come and join to help us!" said the girl who seemed to be in her twenties with silver grey long hair, cyan eyes holding a staff and with the name [Silver Soup] above her head attending him with what it seems to be using healing magic.
Drake approached the two and asked "Excuse what happened here?" the one who replied to him was the bearded man whose nickname was [Spicy Beard] "The mobs outside this town is so difficult to face. Even though it is supposed to be a beginner's field!" The man was visibly irritated.
"..." Drake was silent after hearing what the man said, he asked him "Are there still players out hunting or is this everyone here?"
"Hmm... I believe there are still a lot of players outside, if you want to go out and hunt solo you better be careful." Spicy Beard adviced him.
"Got it, thanks for the information, I'll be heading out now." He quickly replied.
As they finished their conversation he then walked towards the direction of the gate and headed outside. "I hope he'll be ok after going out..." The man muttered.
[You have exited the 'Coastal Town Meridia'.]
As he got out what he saw shocked him. In the distance a few meteres away, in the fields of sand, takes place a massive battle... No, a missive battle isnt enough to decribe whats happening, IT WAS LIKE AN ALL OUT WAR!
KIIIIEEEEEKKK-
"AHHH-"
"PRIESTS HEAL THE TANKS!"
"ONE OF OUR DPS DIED!"
"SOMEONE SUPPORT THE REA-"
HISS-
Everywhere outside of town was like a waging war between players and monsters. Players that formed a 50-man team struggled to face even one monster much less for those who formed with lower numbers!
Drake remembered what Spicy Beard said earlier but 'a lot' is an understatement "...What the fu-" but before he could say any further a system message popped up.
[Urgent Notice: A hoard of monsters has gathered to invade the 'Coastal Town Meridia', defend the town with all your might!]
———————————————————
[Quest(Urgent): Defend the town from the hoard of monsters!]
Defend the town by killing or defending against the wave of monsters as long as you can. You will be given rewards based on your contribution. Contribution points can earned and exchange for other items at the town hall.
———————————————————
"..."
Not just Drake but all players received the system notice when they stepped outside of town. Even though the battlefield may seem too chaotic, Drake resolved himself and armed his broadsword with both of his hands.
