As Dan settled back into his room at the inn, he took out the map given to him by the man at the town hall. Studying it closely, he traced his finger over the markings. "So this is where I am," he murmured, noting the location before pointing to another spot on the map. "He wants me to go here."
With a plan forming in his mind for the next day, Dan set the map aside and turned his attention to the pouch of copper coins. Examining them closely, he noted their distinct appearance. "These are definitely not game coins," he remarked to himself. The realization only solidified his growing belief that this was not a virtual world, but a real one.
Dan stepped outside, the crisp air refreshing his senses as he leisurely strolled through the town. Each house was adorned with colorful flowers, and the streets were kept impeccably clean. As he wandered, his attention was drawn to a building that stood out from the rest—an elegant structure boasting marble and intricate stonework.
Intrigued, Dan approached the building and pushed open the door. Inside, he found himself in a spacious hall lined with rows of benches. Recognizing it as a church, he looked around, hoping to glean information about its significance.
As he explored, a woman and an elderly lady entered the church. Spotting Dan, the woman approached him with a friendly smile. "Can I help you, sir?" she inquired kindly.
Turning to face them, Dan waved his hand in a gesture of apology, indicating his inability to communicate in their language.
Dan walked out of the church without uttering a word, his mind abuzz with thoughts. Continuing his stroll through the town, he observed his surroundings with a newfound sense of purpose.
Reflecting on what he had learned so far, Dan noted that the townspeople worshiped one or more gods, evident from the presence of the church. Additionally, the cleanliness of the town suggested a strong sense of community pride and orderliness.
Yet, despite his observations, Dan had yet to encounter anyone displaying magical abilities. It remained unclear whether magic existed in this world or if he simply hadn't encountered any practitioners yet.
Returning to the inn, Dan sat down to ponder his next steps. He considered what he already knew and what he still needed to learn about this unfamiliar world
Dan sat down and began to test his system, scrutinizing its functions and noting any changes. He quickly realized that while his system could inspect objects, it lacked the ability to inspect people—a significant departure from its capabilities in the virtual world. Making a mental note of this limitation, Dan resolved to rely on other means to gather information about individuals.
Further exploration revealed that many features and functionalities were missing from his system. Critical admin powers seemed to be either inactive or functioning differently than expected. This discovery sparked concern in Dan, as it indicated a significant alteration in the rules governing his abilities in this new environment.
Dan attempted to access the faction settings, expecting to wield the administrative power he had in the virtual game world. However, the system denied his request, citing that his admin level was insufficient.
[ Access Denied: Admin level too low. Level 10 is required ].
Dan's eyes widened in disbelief. Frustration surged within him, and he muttered curses under his breath. Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down, realizing that getting worked up wouldn't change the situation.
Gazing out of the window, he watched as the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the town. Deciding to set aside his concerns for the time being, Dan resolved to rest and tackle the challenges of tomorrow with a clear mind
