Aya's character Yvlena loads to greet her in the world of Moon Valley. The elf runs around, moving past other pyers and NPCs as she does. The AI was so impressive she could barely distinguish the two, her only means of telling apart the other pyers were the ags that circled above their heads like an indicator.
The NPCs had no such thing even as they verse with other pyers, it all felt so lifelike. To think teology had progressed so far.
"This game is incredible." Aya says smiling as she gets cozy to py some more. Her little elf runs all around the idyllic town before she realizes she doesn't know where she's going.
"I wonder where I should go, Bloom Haven is only a starting town after all. Maybe I should get some Items?" Aya says to no one in particur. Pretty soon a message pops up on s gettitention.

Aya grins. After some trouble quipping all her items she checks her stats again to see if the equipment improved them even a bit so she could start searg for quests.

tinuing to move through the town she finds herself in the small trading area of the small town.
All arouhe sounds of merts invite her to e take a look at their various wares, from ons to armor and the like. Aya approaches the first shop she sees. its brid wooden structure, she could tell this was one of the equipment shops you would see in mames.
She walks in, pushing the door open and causing the bell above to jingle softly.
The NPC standing at the ft, dark wooden ter greets her enthusiastically, throwing his hands up in the air at his new er.
"Hello." Yvlena says to the tall, plump, dark haired shop keeper. The mas her back quite happily.
"Hello there Yvlena." he says using her character's name. "It's so o have someone in the shop, what I do for you today."
From the indicator, she reads his name and status.
[NAME: Bernard
RACE: Human
OCC: Mert]
A menu pops up with a chime.
[Buy/Sell]
Aya had no Equipment to sell to the man so she clicks the buy menu to see what she would be able to purchase from him.
'Maybe better defense for one.' she thinks.
The basic items menu es up but unfortunately, it seems there was nothing for her currently. Aya looks through the staves, swords, wands, and daggers she realizes she would need a css to buy any of these.
Currently, she had none.
"Is there an in-game pyer guide or something?" she asks pulling up the status s, and scrolling through her stats until she reaches the bottom just beh the log-out option.
[Help]
she clicks on it, scrolling through again until finds the information she wao know. An animation window pops up.
"Hello pyer, so you want to know about csses." the little fairy mascot says fluttering about on her s.
"Csses or Occupations are unlocked when your pyer avatar reaches the prerequisite level. Within Moon Valley that level is 5. You begin leveling up with your starter on just outside yiown." the fairy says.
"Good luck adventurer!" the fairy mascot says, closing out the animation window. Aya nods, thanking Bernard, she leaves the store to find the forest.
"e again soon!" Bernard says as she leaves the store.
Seleg [Map] from the menu, Aya soon pulls up a heads up dispy showing all the areas avaible to her within the game, two new areas spring up, Bloom Meadow and Bloom Forest. The girl grins.
"Leveling up will be easy peasy." she says running through the town again, passing shops and their merts all the while taking note of which area they were located.
If she needed more ons iure or even merts to sell more loot to, she knew where they would be.
Finally reag the entrance of the town, she's met with a rge 10 foot wooden gate protected by two guard NPCs who stand overlooking the ing and going of the other pyers and even fellow NPCs.
The moment she steps towards the gate they turn to face her.
"Halt, who goes there." The first NPC guard says holding a hand out in front of her.
"An adventurer?" Yvlena replies, hoping she had given the right ahe guard looks her up and down then after notig her starter sword lets her through the great wooden gates
"Good luck out there." the sed NPC guard says to her. Aya from then on wonders how hard it could really be to kill some in-game enemies.
Walking forward, her system tells her that she was now standing within the Bloom Meadow. Suddenly a window pops up to give her some info.
[gratutions on reag the starter Meadows within in your area, you are about to enter some on enemies.]
[Would you like some assistance?]
[Yes/No]
Aya clicks the yes button allowing the AI to guide her on the first steps of the battle. A horned rabbit appears before her character ready to attack.
[Press X to attack] Aya does so jumping at the creature and dealing damage to it. The rabbit leaps at her dealing -2 damage to Yvlena, the elf blocks the attack while the rabbit leaps bato starting position.
[PC battles are carried out with a turn-based system, VR battles are real time]
Aya takes note of that, w when she would be able to fix the Icarus gear. It would be so fun to py in this world and feel like she was really in it. But for now, her puter would suffice.
Aya persists, defeating the rabbit with ease.
[gratutions, you have pleted the tutorial]
Aya releases a sigh of relief, raising her arms above her head to stretd crack her back from sitting so long.
"That wasn't so bad." she says, moving her mouse to tinue on in the field. A s pops up on her puter.

Aya gasps, reading the information on s, her first quest and it seemed pretty easy too! All she o do was find some more Horned rabbits and she had no doubt they would be in the meadow.
Yvlena walks through the grass pins of the meadow until she finally enters another horned rabbit. On seeihe creature moves to attack swiftly, headbutting Yvlena and causing -3 damage.
"Grrr, oh no you don't!" Aya says, pressing the attack button and taking down the enemy with ease.
[Horned Rabbit 1/5] the s says. Aya nods, impressed with herself, this was her first time with an MM and she didn't think she was doing too badly.

'I'll be a top pyer in no time.' she thinks, sc the meadow for more horned rabbits. She spots two and quickly runs up to them before they could attack her first. Within moments both Horned rabbits go down to her sword.

"I'm almost doh the quest." Aya mutters, w what would be in the bronze chest after she had pleted it.
The newbie starter kit had helped a lot, so a bronze chest would definitely have something out of value. Aya tinues her rabbit hunting, spotting two more rabbits in the meadow and attag first.
Her starter sword wipes them out with ease granting her more loot.

Resting her back against the chair, Aya checks her phone, Her eyes widen at the sight of the time 1:22 am. She sits for a moment in shock, and without b to check her iory or items she quickly logs out cursing as she let the time escape her while pying.
"I have to be careful while pying, the game sucked the time away from me. How did four hours just disappear?" she asks herself as she goes around switg off the light iiny apartment. She jumps into bed, pulling the covers over her head and closing her eyes.
Though she tries to fall asleep, a smile grows across her face at the victory of her first quest, albeit a basie.
She couldn't wait to check her iory tomorrow, the bronze box would surely have something good for her.
Right now all Aya wao do was focus on sleeping, but her eyes tio drift toward the PacBook, temptio py. She bites her lip, turns over in her bed, and forces herself to face the other side of her apartment wall.
"I'll py tomorrow, I have work in the m," she tells herself, despite that her mind persists but Aya is determio call it a night. Eventually, the girl falls asleep, dreaming of the lush pins of Bloom Meadow.

"Odd." the attendant on duty says. Dragging his creaky office chair towards the dusty desk and leaning forward to ihe device. A system prompt unches allowing a series rams to run before the man's eyes.
He let it py, knowing it was futile to stop it, this device had not e on for 13 years and only now did it begin loading data.
