Kapitel 2: Not funny

You will be fine Nate. I calmed myself as I walked. This is the virtual world, it's not like the real world remember. In the real world, no matter how much you train you will never be able to lift a car with one hand. With high enough stats the virtual world makes such things a possibility.

I had read and watched all the guides for the first part of the game, which had been released months ago. I had planned on breezing through the beginning but now I may be stalled out.

There is nothing but to try. I must imagine the outcome I desire and utilize every facet of skill I have to achieve it.

The mayor was standing outside of his house, waiting on new adventurers to arrive. He appeared to be a tall well-built man, with short brown hair and a bushy beard with traces of grey throughout. His backstory was that of a successful soldier. After serving many years he settled in this tiny village and became the mayor.

With as much confidence as I could muster, I approached the mayor and said, " Sir Mayor, I would like my first quest. "

I expected a few responses, but not what actually happened.

l'll give you a chance to prove yourself. "

Thorn heard a sound echo in his mind.

<Ding! Quest notification! >

Secret Quest- <<Prove yourself>>

Do you accept?

Yes!

The mayor pulled out a wooden training sword and handed it to me.

Received - Quest item- Wooden sword.

He looked down at me and said, " There is a man named Olaf, known as the town drunk who can be found in an alley next to the tavern. He is a coward with no real combat training. If what you say is true, then achieving ten hits on him in 20 seconds. "

I thanked the mayor and left towards the tower.

Hmm, very interesting. I have never heard of such a quest. How did I get such a quest? Prove myself?
