Jason logged back into the game, he had lost 6 hours worth of training and grinding so he needed to work extra hard to regain them.
[logged in as Arch]
[entering WOW]
For the past few days, Jason was still at the rose knights barracks, he was training his butt off and gaining allot of stats on the way. He had spent most of his time at the gym and he had done the agility course 2 more times.
When he went down the course the second time he was expecting another giant monster gorilla but was instead meet with three normal monkeys chasing him. Although they were fast and worked together Jason was able to easily out swing them and jumped off in the waterfall with no hesitation. Every time he jumped off in the waterfall he would attempt to go toward the dark spots he saw behind the waterfall but unfortunately, he wasn't able to and lunged down to the lake. He also tried to explore the lake but couldn't hold his breathe long enough and decided to postpone it for later. 
There was one more training center that Jason hadn't seen yet and Charlie was going to show him it. They hiked up a few large hills again defended into a few valleys went through winding trails and more. Eventually, they arrived at a large tower. Every part about the tower looked like a wizard tower. With its pointed cone on the top, to the cobblestone walls and even the mysterious entrance that had all sorts of creatures carved around it.
Charlies stopped in front of the tower entrance and turned to Jason
"This is the intelligence training center, it's widely used by the rose mages in training, but the blue barrack trainees are known to use this place allot. You should discover what the trial is about yourself."
After saying that Charlie pushed Jason toward the entrance and left.
Jason looked at the wizard tower which looked a bit sinister to him for a second and walked in. 
[Welcome to the tower of intelligence]
[as a newcomer you are automatically sent to the first floor, please discover the uses of the first floor as you begin your conquest of the tower]
Jason opened his eyes he was in a library. Shelves and shelves of books were laid out in front of him. Books of all sorts were laid out in front of him. Jason walked around and could see mage trainees studying here, what was even more surprising to Jason was that he couldn't find the end. He could keep on walking but he would always find some new shelf or section of books and more mage trainee students studying. 
After exploring the library Jason started to look at the contents of the books themselves. The books had everything from History of the continent to magic and its uses. Jason walked down and could see sections just dedicated to one specific style of magic. It was a goldmine of knowledge1 Jason just didn't know how he could cram everything in like he wanted to. And that was when Boops came to the rescue.
'Jason buy the Book translation subsystem now!'
"you're a lifesaver Boops"
'less talking, more reading'
[you have bought the Book translation subsystem for 3000 points]
[you have 2 points left]
'%^&*^*&()*(^&*'
Boops endured the pain while Jason comforted him.
Even though the subsystem was outrageously expensive it was 100% worth it. Jason started running around grabbing books for whatever subject interested him. Languages cooking swordsmanship history of the continent. Blacksmithing, Archery, treasure hunting skills.
The table that Jason had selected started to fill with books and started to stack up until you couldn't see the table buried underneath all of the books.
When Jason thought he had enough for the first round he sat down and picked up a book. When he opened the book a light appeared in his eyes and started scanning the entire book. It took a few seconds but 
[you have learned about the history of the continent]
[+1 intelligence +1 knowledge of the continent]
Yup the system was going to OP in the situation.
[you have read a book about swordsmanship]
[+1 level swordsmanship +1 intelligence]
[you have read a book about treasure hunting]
[increased chance of finding treasure]
[you have read about artifacts]
[your understanding of artifacts has risen]

[you have read about runes]
[you have gained insight on the skills rune writing]

[you have read about multiple languages]
[you can now understand and converse in multiple languages] 

[you have read a book about blacksmithing]
[you have gained knowledge on blacksmithing]

[you have gained knowledge on daggers]

[you have gained knowledge on bows]

[you have gained knowledge on spears]
[you have gained knowledge on...]
.....
....
.....
.....

Jason learned so much that he even started to lose track of everything that he had read. Thankfully Boops retained all of the information and could tell Jason anytime. Jason didn't know why he didn't get any the skills but he was fine with how his intelligence increase by 7 points in one go.
Jason got up and started looking around, he saw a large door in the middle of the library where numerous people were lining up. Jason assumed that it was the entrance to the 2 floors and where he would have to start the "conquest" as the system had put it.
Jason lined up watching the people who were lining up and the people who were exciting carefully. The people who left were dejected and they looked tired like they were barraged by annoying questions. Most of the people lining up were in mage robes and they were carefully looking over their notes or reciting chants and verse of something Jason had no idea about. He had read numerous books on magic but he still didn't have any of the skills which annoyed him.
Jason really wanted to go back and start reading more books. But he decided that he should first go and figure out the true meaning of the tower of intelligence. 

Jason was just your average joe, until one day he received a job offer that came with a system and a world crossing mission. Now armed with a system and a very helpful soul, Jason left the world on a journey to the top, an adventure full of laughs, pain, and joy. A story of family, leaders, and armies.

His first destination, a VRMMO.


[release rate: 1 chap every day]
note: I do not own the cover, if it belongs to you, please contact me and I will take it down

I moved in and activated dimension ripper, burning into his left arm. The armorer's health was at 5%. Meat Shield clawed and bit deeply into his shoulder, showing quite an amount of ferocity for a small fluff ball. Eventually, with burn marks scarring his entire body, and the level 5 armorer sank to the ground.

You have killed the Armorer.

You have killed a shopkeeper of this town. The town guards will now attack you on sight.

Your notoriety in the surrounding area has risen.

You are more likely to drop gold upon death.

You have leveled up.

The armorer has dropped 10 gold.

The armorer has dropped [Fine Iron Sword]

You have obtained [Armorer's Key]

[Armorer's Key]

A key to the armorer's stash. He likes to keep it in his back pocket at all times, only parting with it during baths.

"Jesus… ten gold. The bastard must've made a lot because of all the new adventurers in town recently."

The Merchant of Avarice's eyes lit up at the sight of so much gold. 10 gold was the equivalent of 10,000 silver. It was a huge payday.

Normally, this amount of gold was impossible to possess right now, unless you were Steel Slice and could afford to throw around large sums of real world money.

The disaster level event being triggered introduced so much chaos into the system, that balance was bound to be thrown out the window in some situations.

Even so, finding instances of wonky balance was not easy. This particular exploit required equal parts wits and luck to figure out.

Seriously. Who in their right mind would think to backstab the village vendors for profit in the middle of a goblin invasion? You'd have to be a huge asshole.

...

Am I a huge asshole?

...

"You take the sword, since I can't wield it, and we'll split the gold fifty-fifty."

Books' voice broke me out of my self-reflective inner monologue.

"Sure."

There was no need to try to haggle the loot distribution with Books. 10 gold was a massive sum at this point in time, but you couldn't put a price on having a trustworthy ally.

"Nya, I leveled up~"

Meat Shield was level 5 now. It made me sick knowing that my pet was catching up to me in levels. I checked my status and put a point in physical defense.

Name [Spoon]
Class Dimension Thief
Race Human
Level 7
Titles None
Unique Skill !@#$%^&
HP 143/143

Now it was time to collect my hard earned loot! A wicked smile appeared on my face as I approached the locked armory door.

I took the key and unlocked the door. The room gave off a musty smell. I stepped into the small armory.

"Eh, it's still a small town huh. Not that great of a selection."

Beginner staves, swords, and bows lined the walls.

"Ah, it's a shame we can't carry all this beginner equipment with us. They're cheap individually but would add up to a tidy sum together. But my inventory has a kg limitation…"

Books sounded like a real merchant.

"Kg limit? Actually… I can help with that."

I opened a portal to the dimension room and began throwing all the beginner stuff in.

"Wow, your class gives you limitless storage space?"

"Yeah, more or less."

Books looked at me with a pouty, envious look in his eyes.

"I want that ability. Hoarding should be a merchant's specialty."

"Don't be greedy. You already have your potions."

…

There were a few exceptional items in the armory.

[Basic Amulet of Magic]

Basic mass produced amulet of magic. Made with ruby, so pricier than most amulets.

Common

Item rank: E

+5 intelligence

+5 mana regen

Level requirement: 2

[Helmet of the Warlord]

A helmet with the twisted depiction of an orc warlord. Instills fear in the opponents of its wearer.

Rare

Item rank: C

+10 intimidation

+25 strength

Level requirement: 5

[Thief's Hood]

A gray hood that conceals the wearer's face. This is a popular piece of apparel among thieves.

Common

Item rank: E

+10 dexterity

+5 vitality

Level requirement: 1

I took the Basic Amulet of Magic and Thief's hood, while Books took the Helmet of the Warlord. Since it was a rank C item, The Helmet of the Warlord was worth more than the two of my items combined.

Books offered to cover the difference with gold, but I declined. We were set to share a lot more loot in the future, so it would be troublesome to be tied back counting small differences.

Books appreciated the gesture.

The items were really suited for us. I got a mana regen bonus and some much needed vitality, and Books got a flat strength boost. With the strength bonus, Books had a strength stat that equaled a rare melee combat class at his level. It was time to fight our way out of town.

=====

"Interesting."

The developers at Eclipse company were captivated by a certain duo holding their own during a goblin invasion in town. They were alerted to the duo by the system, because they were the first to kill an NPC shopkeeper in the game. It was an impossible task to pull off at their level, or at least it was supposed to be if the game world was in a normal state.

The goblin king's invasion threw many of their calculations off, and feats that were deemed impossible under normal circumstances were now possible.

Eclipse company's developers had access to unrestricted live game footage that the general public did not have access to. This kind of footage could make millions of dollars if broadcasted, but would destroy the integrity of the game by offering perfect information.

The live footage showed a hooded user named [Spoon] using a strange black colored magic on his left hand to tear into the goblin's flesh. His companion, a user called [Books], cut down goblins with his Fine Sword, chugging potions whenever he dropped before 40% health.

"What are their classes?"

"I predict [Spoon] to have a black magic class, and [Books] to be a mercenary type class."

"Hang on, I'm pulling up their data."

"[Spoon] is a [Dimension Thief] and [Books] is a [Merchant of Avarice]."

"…"

A merchant and thief class, holding their own in a fight where even the [Barbarian King] and [Berserker] had trouble?

"I really like the Merchant of Avarice class."

"Thanks, my team designed it."

"If your team designed it, why didn't you recognize it from the footage?"

"I never thought the merchant class could hold its own in combat…"

"What is this Dimension Thief class? Did we add that in the game?"

"I don't remember seeing that."

"Check the logs."

…

"There's nothing coming up for [Dimension Thief], sir."

"That means it's a unique class designed by the Eclipse AI itself."

"Wow."

======

Pant, pant.

Twelve goblins down.

You have leveled up.

Books, Meat Shield, and I made a formidable fighting force. I severely underestimated Meat Shield's fighting power as an inter-dimensional cat. She could jump in and out of the dimension room with ease during combat, making her incredibly hard to kill. The only problem was motivating the moody cat to help me.

Meanwhile, Books now had the power of a rare C rank helmet that boosted his strength to the level of an advanced combat class.

We needed to retreat though. Books ran out of potions, and my mana regen was at its limit with how often I was using dimension ripper. At this rate, we were all dead.

The thought of the 24 hour penalty in addition to my PK and shopkeeper killing penalties made my hair rise.

On the side of the street were the bodies of two warriors and a mage from Steel Guild. I ran to the bodies and checked for any loot I could use.

[Rusty sword]

A rusty sword.

Common

Rank: F

[Small Mana Potion]

Restores 100 mana

Common

Rank: F

[Small Mana Potion]

Common

Rank: F

[Small Health Potion]

Restores 100 health

[Thunderbolt skillbook]

Skillbook containing Thunderbolt. A popular spell among intermediate mages.

Skillbook

Rare

Cooldown: 4 seconds

Rank: D

Restriction: Mage only

Restriction: 50 intelligence

Jackpot! The mage dropped some mana potions I could use, and a skillbook. Unfortunately, I couldn't use the skillbook due to the class restriction.

Wait… maybe Dimension Thief is considered a mage?

Probably not, but it was worth a shot. I opened the skillbook and tried to activate it.

Notification
You do not meet the class requirements to learn this skill effectively. You may still use the spell at a penalty.
Tooltip: Welcome to Eclipse Online's cutting edge skill system. Unlike other VRMMO's, you may learn spells or abilities outside of your class' restrictions. However, this comes at a severe penalty. Type of penalty depends on many variables. Generally, this penalty renders the skill unusable, but we encourage our players to be creative. You are welcome to experiment to your heart's content. Thank you for playing Eclipse Online.
I learned something new about Eclipse today. A new skill appeared under my status.

[Thunderbolt]

Projectile based lightning property magic.

Rank 1

Mana cost: 80

Intelligence scaling: B

Due to class incompatibility, negative effects may occur. Use at your own risk.

"Spoon! Help!"

Books was overwhelmed by three goblins. A spear was impaled in his side, and his health was under 20%. Meat Shield was doing her best to keep the goblins distracted enough so that they didn't finish off Books.

I downed a mana potion, then pointed my right hand at the goblins surrounding Books.

"Thunderbolt."

My right hand cackled with electricity, and a bolt of wild electricity shot out from my palm towards the goblins.

Something went wrong.

BOOM.

[-25 health]

The palm of my hand sparked and exploded violently upon casting. It was a more serious version of when you unplug an electric socket forcefully, and sparks fly out of the socket.

The wild bolt of lightning struck the goblin in front, instantly frying it. Dimensional thief was a class with exceptional intelligence growth, which magnified the raw power of the mage thunderbolt skill.

You have gained experience.

You have earned 6 silver.

Due to the space distorting power of your class, Thunderbolt has gained a harmful explosive characteristic upon casting.

[Thunderbolt]

Projectile based lightning property magic.

Rank 1

Mana cost: 40

Intelligence scaling: B

Penalty effect: Harmful explosive characteristic upon casting

Penalty intelligence scaling: S

The explosion damage was proportional to my intelligence with an S rating, but I only received 25 damage, when a normal mage or thief would have been instantly killed by the recoil.

The low recoil damage was because my magic resistance growth on this class was astronomically high. If I was any other class, this penalty would make thunderbolt a suicidal option.

What happens if you stay in character select for too long? This is the story of [Spoon], who discovers a glitch in character select. Why is there a black cat here, and what the hell is this trash unique class it gave me? Story written in the style of KR web novels. Expect a brutal PvP system, dark souls difficulty PvE content, and a story that follows a serious narrative with a dash of comedic relief and adult content.

So I just need to beautify myself because it's an eye sore to everyone? is that what the system is saying to me?

[DING DING DING! Correct! you're so ugly that makes people gouge their eyes out!]

I just wanna kill this system...
-
The other day

After Fin finished his breakfast the system sounded in his brain

[Now will be the start of your training! You just got to run like it's your life is on the line (because it really is) and be beautiful!]

"huh... surprisingly this seems reasonable..."

Fin then switch to his 'workout clothes' (aka. Jogging pants, T-Shirt, Sneakers) Then proceeded to his daily task.
----------------------------------------------------------
After a very long time of training...

"huff.. Huff... Huff... I can't do this! I wanna sleep! FUCK U SYSTEM!!!! I don't wanna be beaten up, but hell!!!"

After Fin said that out loud at his apartment, he heard a ding.

[F*ck you too host! Blame your goddamn genes for being ugly! Anyways Here's your goddamn reward! Ugly b*tch...] 

After Fin heard all of this, his lips, eyebrows, everything started twicthing out of anger.

After Fin received the reward he felt that his body is getting stronger, though a small amount, but still.

Fin quickly went to the mirror and stare at himself. He saw his body getting thinner, still fat, and ugly... but his acnes is dissappearing little by little...

"Well... Time to read something"

Fin quickly went to get his books for his school then started reading them for an hour.

'Ding'

[Daily mission 2: (Accomplished)
Read informational books like mathematics, science, literature, or something for 1 hour.

Acquired: 
The Content of what you learned,
+4 intelligence ]

When Fin received his reward, the content he read in the book got imprinted in his mind, and that he can never forget the knowledge he gain.

"Wow that's a boring process, but damn I liked this feeling like I have accomplish something"

'Ding'

[Answer to host, the reason why you feel the sense of accomplishment is because you haven't touch the books the school has provided.]

"Riiighht... Well I still have 6 days left to become a handsome! And this almost feels like impossible because there's no one in the entire fcking universe to be thin for a couple of days!"

---6 days later---

"Fck it really is possible..." Fin looked at his body and face in the mirror... 
[School is almost there! you can't present that ugly face of yours since you got bullied by your appearance and also by you being dumb! now the system is here for you to slap their faces and be one of the hotties in your school! and also to lay a new foundation for you to be the most powerful motherf**ker in the universe!

He looked like an average teenager... instead of flabs, he have 0 pack abs. instead of fat face, he have an average face, but his face is clear, free of acne. instead of a small 'sausage' he have a... nothing change... it's still small...

"WHAT THE FCK SYSTEM WHY THE HELL IT'S STILL SMALL" 

[Answer to Host, your 'sausage' is not part in charm, since your 'sausage' will not be seen by people. If you want to enlarge it you have to buy this...]

[Penis enlargement pill - Enlarges penis by 4 inches...

"FUCK THIS CRUEL WORLD! IF I CAN KILL THIS WORLD THEN IT WILL ALREADY BE DEAD! WHY THE FCK DO I HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS!!!" Fin shouted, cursed, complained to the world as why did he born with such a small 'thing' as it's only 4 in" when erect.

[Don't worry host as soon as you got 500 coins, I will immediately buy this pill for you!]

Sara stared at the system messages, reading through them carefully, one by one.
'Oh? I leveled up…'
She closed out of notices, then opened her character information.

Character name- Serendipitous(21)        Level-2      Title- unassigned        Reputation- Limited, neutral
Race- Drow         Class- Mage (Rank 127 out of 334)

Available stat points: 1
Equipment: 
Apprentice robes- no benefits granted
Leather shoes- no benefits granted
Cloth gloves- no benefits granted
Common clothes- no benefits granted

Sara found that three more stats had been added to her character information, along with her level and her reputation had increased as well. Her background now said she was a Rudimentary Mage graduate rather than just a mage student. She figured this was just the system telling her what her official class was.
Sara closed out of her character information window and made her way out of the ceremony room. She began making her plans for the future as she did.
She needed more combat spells, that much she was sure of. She looked up and stopped a fellow graduate.
"Excuse me? Where is the library?" She asked.
The student, almost certainly an NPC, pointed to a direction and gave a few less than helpful instructions on how to get there after giving Sara a strange look.
Sara gave her thanks and opened her map as she walked away. She saw the library lit up in her map. She rushed to get there as quickly as possible.
The library was as Sara would have expected it to be. It was huge, with books lining the walls and on giant shelves, giving the room aisles to walk down and peruse. There were tables scattered throughout where one could study the contents of the books, with paper and pens readily available.
Sara began looking through the books present, hoping she could find something helpful. 
Not knowing what she was exactly looking for, she pulled a handful of books from the shelves, hoping to figure it out as she worked.
As she opened the first book, a notice popped up in front of her.

Notice! 
Reading can help a character increase their intelligence stat. The more difficult the book, the more the stat will increase. With an intelligent stat being low, only low level books can be read, with it being high, more difficult books will become available to read.

The Mages Ire-
This tale of betrayal and anger is one that is well known throughout the Drow community. Would you like to read it?

Sara selected yes and another notice came up in front of her.

True virtue!
The main hero's hatred of his father and disdainful attitude is truly admirable. Though he lost out in the end, he will forever remain a beloved character in your heart.

Sara's expression darkened, but she set the book aside and tried another.

The faithful follower-
This tale of faith and worship is a staple in many Drow households. Would you like to read it?

Sara selected yes, causing another notice to be brought forth.

Incredible faith!
Reading about the main character's faith and worship of Lolth has resonated with you. Lolth truly is great.

Sara sat the book aside and continued to go through the pile of books she'd taken from the shelves. As she "read" more and more, her expression continued to darken over the useless and sometimes incredibly wicked tales they held within their pages.
Finally, as Sara finished yet another fairy tale, she sighed.
"Where the hell am I supposed to find another spell!?" 
Sara left the table and began to meander around the library. Reading the books wasn't entirely a complete loss, she'd been able to raise her intelligence by two points. Of course, she'd read through dozens of books in order to get those points….
Finally, Sara found herself in the back of the library. She slowly walked down the aisle, trying to find something that could give her a better chance of winning her upcoming arena battle.
Her eyes fell onto a book whose spine was tattered and torn, as if it'd been read and re-read over and over again countless times.
She pulled it from the shelf, along with another old looking book. As she made to turn away, however, she remembered something.
'Didn't I gain the ability to sense magic? Maybe I can sense a magical tome…'
As Sara thought this, she focused on the books around her, activating her new ability.
She saw no magic around her, nor felt any. As she sighed and was about to leave to sit at that table one last time, however, a faint wisp of energy caught her attention.
Sara rushed over. There, on the far wall, Sara found a thin book wedged between two much larger books. It was so thin; one would have been unable to find it without knowing it was there.
Sara pulled the book from the shelf and hurried back to her seat.
She set the two larger books aside and hurried to read the title of the thinner one.
"Chaos magic theory…? What's that?" As she read the title, a notice popped up.

Chaos Magic Theory
This book contains the beginning teachings on Chaos Magic Theory. Would you like to read it?

Sara frowned down at the notice. It was very similar to the previous notices.
'Guess it's not a spell…just the theory around one?' She wondered.
She went ahead and selected yes.

Notice!
Intelligence stat insufficient.

Sara gritted her teeth. Of course, she finally finds something that might be able to help her out, and she doesn't have enough intelligence!
Sara tossed the book aside in a huff.
This game was broken. How was she supposed to grow in strength if she didn't even know how!?
Sara rubbed her eyes as she felt a headache coming on. 
Seeing no other way around it, she picked up the older book instead.
Brakendorfs Fall-
This book is about the dwarven king Brakendorf's fall from power. Would you like to read it?

Sara selected yes.

A great victory!
Brakendorf's fall was an important turning point for the Drow race. His army's were one of the biggest threats to the Drow people. The ruins of his kingdom have long become a proud monument outside of the Drow territory that many wish to visit, but few get the opportunity. His riches were immense and the weapons in his treasury are still some of the greatest within the top Drow family's arsenals.

Sara sighed and set the book with the other's she'd read. She picked up the last one.

She didn't have much hope for the book and didn't even read the title notice before selecting to read it.

Immense history!
Though his book was difficult to read, you found yourself pushing through to the very end due to it's incredible amount of information. +2 intelligence.

Sara was pleasantly surprised as the notice of getting two additional stat points. She once again picked up the thin book and tried to read it.
She was met with a disappointing message once again.

Notice!
Intelligence stat insufficient.

Sara tossed the book aside once again before slamming her head down on the table.
It hurt.

Sara pulled off the headset and set it aside. Outside, the sun had begun to go down. Sara removed her body suit and sat at her desk. She began transfer her gaming video onto her computer as she surfed the web.
Maybe she could find some idea as to where to find more spells in the forums.
Most of the posts seemed to be about surface races. She clicked through, hoping to find something that could help her.
She paused as she came across one post that had almost three thousand engagements on it.

This game is broken…
So, has anyone else leveled up yet? I'm not asking to brag or anything, but I noticed something weird about leveling up. 
OK, so I leveled up after the tutorial. I know a lot of people probably did the same, I'm not trying to brag or anything, I was just wondering if anyone else noticed that…leveling up doesn't really give you much??
I'm now a level 2 swordsman; I got two stat points after leveling up, one that's automatically put into strength and the other given for me to place either in strength or agility.  But other than that…I'm able to still defend myself without armor? I guess, it's to make it so I don't have to wear heavy armor, which I am capable of doing. But, other than the weight it adds to the character, there isn't really any reason not to wear heavy armor.
This is just speculation on my part, but it seems like the main way you gain strength in this game is just through game play, rather than leveling up. Higher levels seem to be more of a convenience rather than a necessity. Does anyone else feel this way???
Beneath the post were a number of comments, some agreeing with the op and others tearing into him, calling him a noob.
-Are you serious? We don't know if higher levels give bonuses in other ways, like in p v p play. Why are you whining?-
-I noticed that too!!!!!I was thinking I was just unlucky…-
-even is it means you get more benefits frm the actually game than rom leveling, is that such a bad idea?-
-noob-
-shut up *content censored*, I've been playing VR for years, this is the most interactive game on the market, of course the leveling has been downplayed, they want people treating it as an actual world-
-doesn't that just mean the characters will all be unique across the levels? You get more benefits from interacting and exploring, which means you're character becomes completely unique, sounds badabs to me…-
-so, if they institute a level cap, it doesn't really mean anything? If you get most of your benefits from the game, then you would just continue to "level" up your character beyond the leveling cap, right?-
-Tis me, CONTENT CENSORED WARRIOR1=! *content censored* content censored*, You *content censored*. *content censored* *content censored*!@!!!!-
-I play a high elf mage, not getting benefits from levels is kinda *content censored*. I can't figure out how to gain more powerful spells! Since live play is activated, I guess that means I have to head out into the world an dsearch for them? But, my character itself isn't able to yet, he's considered a child in his clan, which means he isn't allowed outside of his village…But, He's considered a child until he's like…I think 100 years old? He's currently twenty! I have to wait another eighty years before I can head out into live play. Sure, there's a time difference between real life and the game, but in the real world that's still twenty years!-

The last comment made Sara wonder about her own character. She knew from the character information screen that she was twenty one years old, but she wasn't sure when she was considered an adult in Drow society…or when she'd be allowed to leave and head to the surface… From the looks of the adult Drow in the community, it didn't seem many left for the surface and if they did, they didn't stay for long.
Sara continued to search on the internet, trying to find a way to find more spells for her character. Finally, she found a hint.
Apparently, in previous games, doing missions gave not only experience, but also other rewards, like skills and spells. Or gave hints to those items. Thinking back, Sara knew that her first mission to attend her graduation ceremony hadn't given her any new spells, but had allowed her to find one, in a way.
Her second mission…if she was successful in doing it, she might actually be able to get more spells. The advanced classes were called advanced for a reason, obviously. It was unlikely that they would leave her without any new spells after completing the course.
But, that was only if she was able to complete the mission itself.
She still had to gain spells in order to complete it. After seeing that battle in the arena, she knew her current spell list was insufficient.
As she sat trying to figure out her next plan of action, her computer alerted her that her video files were completely downloaded. She began sifting through the hours upon hours of footage, trying to bring the amount down to under an hour. As she was working, she heard her front door open and close, signaling that her parents were home.
Sara didn't pay it any mind and continued to edit her video down.
She heard a knock on her bedroom door.
Sara looked over to see her father poking his head in.
"You're still awake?"
Sara nodded. "Yeah, I'm editing a video."
He nodded. "Your mother brought home some chicken from Little Stevie's. Her group was taken out today as a compensation for having to keep them for so long before."
"Alright, I'll be out in a bit."
Sara's dad left the room shortly after. He wasn't old, not really, but the long years in the Labor Force had taken their toll on him. The circles under his eyes were a little darker than they would have been if he wasn't in the force, and his body was a little weaker, skinnier.
Other than that, Sara's dad was a good looking guy, especially in his youth. If he'd started on his content at a younger age, he would have probably been really popular. Sara got up from her desk shortly after and headed out to the dining area to have dinner with her parents. It wasn't something that happened often, the three of them eating together. They rarely even got to interact with each other. Of course, this was Sara perspective anyways. Her parents actually worked in the same building, so they saw each other throughout the day. 
Sara's mother was quietly getting her family's plates ready for them, it was a habit she had developed back when Sara was younger, but she hadn't been able to do it since she was placed back into the Labor Force. Women are given the first five years of their child's lives off from the Labor Force to be stay at home mothers, but are returned back after the child turned five. Because Sara was sick when she was younger, however, her mother was able to stay home with her an extra year. 
After her mother returned to the Labor Force, Sara's dad had begun trying to build a following online in earnest. Sara wasn't sure if that was for her mother's benefit, or for her own. 
Or, maybe he just felt too stifled by the life as a Labor worker and wanted to try to find a way to make him feel like he was doing SOMETHING about their situation, even if it wasn't something that could actually amount to much.
They ate in relative silence, with the occasional comment on the food, or Sara's parents talking about something that happened at their jobs.
Sara finished her food quickly before excusing herself. The long breaks of silence felt stifling to her. She didn't want to sit there longer than she had to.
She returned to her room and continued with the editing of her video.

Sara lives in a world where you are either a Labor Worker or a celebrity. Her parents are part of the labor force and almost everyone she knows is expected to go into it. 
She doesn't want this for herself. 
She, like millions in the world, wants to be more than some labor worker. Wants to be more than just a member of the majority that breaks it's back for the few above.
She wants to be respected.

This is a story about an untalented girl named Sara Smith. She's more ordinary than you and makes a lot of mistakes, but she does it in a way that, at least she thinks, is epic.

She cant figure out why she isn't a huge star and why people don't love her, but maybe, just maybe, she'll be able to figure it out by the end. Or maybe she'll become that huge star that she's been striving to be.

Sara comes up with the idea that she'll become a popular gaming critique....unfortunately she knows nothing about games and how they work. But! She has drive! And sometimes!.......that's still not enough......

Chapter 3: Encounter

"Oh yeah, I haven't distributed my stat points yet."  Ai almost forgot about his stats that were all in zero. From the knowledge that he had gained when the System was injected to him, in the beginning, the game itself gave the freedom to freely allocate their beginning stats and every player has the same number of points to show fairness for everyone somehow.

"Oh by the way, Yun, what does SP stands for?" Ai Zhen noticed that there's another indicator for something. He had an idea about it but he's not that if what he was thinking was the same for this game.

<SP stands for Spiritual Points. It has the same importance with the HP and MP because this will be used in almost every actions that you will do. Special NPCs, Items and Quests requires a certain Spiritual Points in order to be engaged. This can also be used to enhance the effect of active skills depending on how much you input. Ways to restore SP can be done in any form of rest. One needs to cultivate in order to increase SP. Allocating points in Stamina can increase SP too.>

Half of Ai Zhen's thought about SP was right, and even though Yun's explanation about it was not that very specific, he was able to tell that this may be the most important stats in this game.

Moving on, based from the gaming experiences of the late Ai's, a player must always not neglect to allocate some points for the Strength and Agility even if the player is a mage class. The former Zhen's thinking also approved of this especially for the Agility stats. In the cultivation world, there's a saying that strength is not what makes a cultivator invincible but speed.

However, thinking back again, this game was almost completely different from the games that the late Ai have played, and also, there was a novel that he read where someone allocated all of his stat points in a single attribute which gave that character a special bonus.

"Here goes nothing." Ai Zhen smiled deviously as he was about to add all of his points to a certain stats.

——————

Seconds and then minutes passed by, nothing happened. Ai Zhen was expecting for something grand to happen like being rewarded for being the first player to allocate all the starting stat point on a certain Attributes? I guess there is no reward for being a fool on believing too much on fantasy novels then.

Ai Zhen can only bitterly smile about it and moved on. And with that, he started to stroll around to find a NPC to have a conversation with.

++++++++++

The six sector of the Hidden Leaf Town was divided into three areas, the first two sector where the entry and exit point of the town is located was called the outer area, this is where the NPC shops and merchants are located.

The inner area is where the two middle sectors are located, this is where the town's residences resides. Some NPC nobles are also in here.

In the core area, where the remaining two sectors. There are only two places that are located in this area. One, is the town hall where the town lord resides. The other one is the, town's academy where the town's library is also located.

Ai Zhen thought that if he's going to do the quests, he will do it big. So in order to do it big, the only NPC that he can think of is the town's lord. With a goal set in his mind, he walked straight to the core area where the town hall is.

When he was about to enter the core area, his eyes were staring down on the bricked road minding his own business as he was contemplating on how to approach the town's lord. He passed by to an old man who was sitting down outside of a certain shop, having a tea. The old man called out to him, "Hey, young man!" A serene smile crept into his mouth as he was sipping his cup of tea.

Ai Zhen was still looking down on the road as he was still focused on how to approach the town lord. He was only able to stop when a voice sounded beside his ears, "It's rare to find someone who has great potential nowadays."

Ai Zhen looked at the old man surprised who was raising his cup of coffee, "Would you like to have a cup of tea?"

Ai Zhen thought that this old man is no ordinary that's why he accepted his offer. He opened the gate of the tea shop that was called Autumn Leaf Cafe and sat in front of the old man. The old man took an empty cup on his side and poured a tea for him.

"Would you like to be my disciple?" The old man got straight to the point.

The old man's straightforwardness surprised Ai Zhen as he doesn't know what to reply. 

"Why would you do that?" He looked at the old man with slightly raised eyebrow showing his skepticism. In his mind, no one can be his master in this lifetime. As the greatest cultivator in his past life, the arrogance and confidence in him surfaced. But even though he thought of this, he still patiently asked what the old man's motive.

"Well, just a simple fact that you are very talented. Who wouldn't want a disciple with such capabilities like you?" The old man simply stated with a playful smile.

"Heh..how would you know that I'm that talented?" Ai Zhen also playfully smiled back to the old man. "What if it turns out that I'm really just a trash?"

"Nonsense, young man! How on Earth would someone like you..a great figure..would be a trash?" The old man intentionally made his voice sounded like a whisper in Ai's ears just to display his capabilities, and was trying to make his bullshit mysterious. Ai also noticed this however, he didn't mind it and just played along.

"Well old man, if I'm that of a genius, then I'm now even more confident that I don't need a teacher or a master." Ai Zhen laughed wittily with a hint of arrogance on his antics.

The old man could only shake his head from this retort because he knows that the young man, Ai Zhen, was not buying it.

"Young man, if you are able to learn these books within this day. I'll admit that I'm not worthy to be your master." The old man took out six books that magically appeared in front of the table. Five of this six books have the same style of book cover with just different shades of color while the the other one has an orange red book cover and golden platings on its edges designed as blazing sun rays.

<Quest Prompt: Learn 5 skill books and a cultivation art that the old man Sun Fang have offered. Reward: (?)>

'I wonder what would that question mark means.' Ai Zhen was not fazed with what the old man did. He stared at him for a short while and inhaled. "Would you mind if I take a look at these first?" The Quest didn't offer any rewards because the reward itself was learning the books itself.

"Go ahead." The old man still playfully smiled even more as he gestured to the young man to not hold back.

Ai Zhen first looked at the one of the skill books that has a shade of grey on it.

<Skill Book: Basic Silver Claws. Skill Type: Attack. Skill Tier: Silver(I). Identification: A skill that can tear and rip common metals. When mastered, it can even destroy profound level weapons. Additional 3% pure damage towards night creatures.
Requirements: 30 SP>

Ai Zhen was astonished on how high tiered the skill that was shown to him. At this point of game, finding a skill like this is like gambling in a game that has one out of one hundred chances.

He also looked at the other four, anticipating if whether these are also in the same class and level or more.

<Skill Book: Flowing Leaf. Skill Type: Movement. Skill Tier: Gold(I). Identification: A skill that let you passively dodge three attacks like how a falling leaf can not be touched as it moves with the flow of the wind.
Requirements: 90 SP>

<Skill Book: Basic Plant Recognition. Skill Type: Miscellaneous. Skill Tier: Bronze(I). Identification: A skill that let you able to recognize plants that are up to Rare Level even without having a knowledge about it.
Note: Skill can be level up when used to identify 10 Rare Plants or obtained a higher level of the same skill book.
Requirements: 30 SP>

<Skill Book: Wave Current. Skill Type: Attack and Defense. Skill Tier: Gold(I). Identification: A skill that let you repel the opponent's attack up to three times the original power when mastered.
Requirements: 90 SP>

<Skill Book: Basic Fire Manipulation. Skill Type: Attribute. Skill Tier: Gold (I). Identification: A skill that will able to let you manipulate fire. It grants a Fire Body attribute which gives 15% fire resistance and 5% additional pure damage to any fire-based attacks.
Requirements: 90 SP>

These five books are really useful to Ai Zhen as of this moment. Having overpowered skills at this early point of the game makes his life really easy. He couldn't help but be fond on how generous this old man to him.

When the old man saw the face of the young man who was licking his lips in excitement, he thought that he have already caught him in his trap since these skills are very hard to learn from the get go and it takes weeks to learn the basics. With this mindset, he was pretty sure that the young man will be lured and there's nothing that he can't do from getting away with it, but what he doesn't know was the fact that the young man was licking his lips because he was already in the process of completely learning the five skills.

<You have learned the skill, Silver Claws. Intelligence: +1. -30 SP>

<You have learned the skill, Flowing Leaf. Intelligence: +2. -90 SP>

<You have learned the skill, Basic Plant Recognition. Intelligence: +1. -30 SP>

<You have learned the skill, Wave Current. Intelligence: +2. -90 SP>

<You have learned the skill, Basic Fire Manipulation. Intelligence: + 2. -90 SP>

<Congratulations! The Quest: Learning, has been accomplished. Total Rewards: +1300 EXP >

With the +100 EXP per rank, silver skill books is equivalent to 200 EXP while gold skill books is equivalent to 300 EXP. The old man would be crying if he was hearing what the monotone voice of a young boy was notifying.

Ai Zhen was feeling light-headed for a moment as his SP was depleted. However, as he leveled up multiple times, his SP was filled up again.

After learning the five skills, without further a do, he grabbed the last book and read it.

<Cultivation Book: Blazing Sun Art. Cultivation Rank: Epic (I). Identification: A cultivation art that can set ablaze one's HP or MP in order to gain additional pure damage (1:2 Conversion). Vitality points can also be set ablaze permanently to burn down the opponent's vitality points permanently as well (1:2 Conversion).
+6 Vitality & +3 Dexterity every minor breakthrough and +60 Vitality & +30 Dexterity every major breakthrough. Regeneration: +6 per second each minor breakthrough and +18 per second each major breakthrough.
Requirements: 110 Intelligence and 330 SP>

As Ai Zhen read through this cultivation, he couldn't help but faltered and his mouth twitching. 

The fact that this cultivation art is also overpowered makes him feel elated. Imagine burning an opponent's Vitality into zero, how many HP and MP will be left? But when setting ablaze the opponent's vitality you will be setting ablaze your vitality as well permanently. When he looked at the old man, he somehow felt a vague feeling that the aura of this cultivation art and the aura of the old man was exuding despite how hard he try to conceal are the same. He could not help but think if this old man, was really old.

<You have read an Epic Cultivation Art. +9 Intelligence. -150 SP>

'No wonder this cultivation art is just in an Epic Tier despite the overwhelming power that can be attained, because this art is Epic..Fail.' Ai Zhen couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment. And when the old man saw this, he could not also help but be intrigued of what's in the young man's mind. "What's wrong, young man?"

"Old man, do you have a pen and a stack of paper?" Ai Zhen asked. The old man have no idea why did the young man ask for these things but nonetheless, he still complied from the simple request.

When the old man took out the things that he asked, Ai Zhen began to write something on the papers. As he wrote on the stack of papers, sometimes, he would stop and looked at the old man as he tapped the pen on his chin from time to time. The look of the young man was giving to the old was like a doctor diagnosing at his patient, trying to probe and come up some prescription for him, this bewildered him.

Almost half an hour passed by, Ai Zhen was finally done with his writing. He almost used all of the stack of papers. "As thanks for the skill books, this is my gift to you. I apologize if I can't accept you as my master as I would really like it more to be your friend."

<Congratulations! You are the first player to create an Epic tier Cultivation Art without any Heavenly Immortal knowledge. Rewards: +7000 EXP, +12 Intelligence & Title: Grandmaster [Epic].> 

<Title Effects: Can create any Epic rank Cultivation Arts and below; 33% Success for Epic Arts, 66% success for Profound Arts and 99% success for Mortal Arts. EXP and SP will be deducted in each creation; -300 EXP and -300 SP for Epic Art, -200 EXP and -200 SP for Profound Art and -100 EXP and -100 SP for Mortal Art.
Note: Title rank can be level up: 99 created Epic rank Cultivation Art and 1 created Legendary Art.>

As Ai Zhen pushed the stack of written papers to the old man, he was very elated from the gains in encountering this old man that's why he had no regrets on gifting a powerful cultivation art that came from his previous world. Of course, he made some adjustments that was derived from the old man's cultivation art so that he won't have to completely re-cultivate from the start.

The old man only chuckled as Ai Zhen stood up and about to leave. He didn't mind the refusal as there really is a chance that certain individuals like him would not really accept his offer.

"Where are you off to now?" The old man tossed a golden round token to the young man as he asked this question with a fond smile on his face.

"I'm off to practice the skills you gave me." Ai Zhen replied with this simple sentence as he wave his arm good bye. However, this simple sentence greatly surprised the old man as he stared at the young man's back outside the cafe. But then again, as he thought about it, he simply chuckled and muttered to himself. "An Immortal Cultivator indeed." 

Players are known as Immortal Cultivators in this game.

<Congratulations! Tutorial Quest 1: Talking has accomplished. Reward: +55 EXP>

As the young man disappeared from the distance, the old man checked what did the young man wrote on the papers.

Curiosity got the best out of the modern Earth when a first ever online semi-reality online role playing game was mysteriously broadcast on a New Year's Eve countdown.

Through the game, people gained knowledge towards dao cultivation which gave massive benefits such as immortal or magical power, that slowly and ultimately change the modern Earth.

Blinded by the greed, people continued to play the so-called game even though as they later found out that they were playing with their lives the whole time for their souls are the ones that are crossing over to this so called game.

What was the purpose of the game?

Oddly yet cliched, a reincarnated legendary cultivator from an Immortal World will slowly unravel the secrets and the horrors of the game.
