...beeeeeeeeeeeep.....
Suddenly a bright light covered Wyatts entire vision, making him unable to see. By the time his eyes adjusted, he was shocked by the beautiful scene of an open field filled with bright colorful flowers along a lovely stone pathway. On either side of the path stood two towering statues made of some metal that clearly doesn't exist in the real world.
Since Wyatt didn't watch anything about the game he wasn't expecting this level of immersion and beauty, making it so shocking that he didn't even notice someone sneaking up behind him.
"BOO" a feminine voice was heard behind him, causing him to jump from shock before stumbling and falling to the ground.
"Hahahahahahaha" the new voice turned into intense laughter, as Wyatt turned around only to find perhaps the most beautiful lady he has ever seen rolling on the floor laughing at him.
Embarrassed over his mistake Wyatt immediately tried to change the topic and start a conversation with the lady.
" Cough, hmm Cough...." he started "Hello ma'am my name is Wyatt..." he attempted to continue but before he could get any further.
"Hahahhahahahahaa" the laughing seemed to have no plans of stopping.
"...lady....." hahaha "excuse me...."
Finally getting tired of the laughing Wyatt shouted " MA'AM! "
"Pfft ok sorry, I'm sorry" the lady said finally adjusting her stance before cleaning any dirt off her dress, which seemed to be made of some kind of thin crystals. Suddenly, with a wave of her hand, a small tea table appeared in front of the two along with chairs.
Taking a seat and waving her hand as a gesture for Wyatt to sit things finally seemed to calm down.
"Hi Wyatt, my name is Arina and I'm the goddess of this world" Arina stated, seeming much more professional than a moment ago.
"Hello lady Arina, can you help me I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do next" Wyatt replied while itching his cheek still a bit distracted from earlier.
"yes, yes child no worries this is the character creation island where you need to choose a username and make any slight adjustments to yourself before you start your adventure" Said the goddess giving a brief explanation/
"first off, do you want to make any changes to yourself?" questioned the goddess
"hmm..... nah, I think I'm good let's just get to the username" Wyatt responded.
Giving a nod and another slight wave of her hand a screen appeared in front of Wyatt.
"Choose a username"
without thinking much Wyatt typed
"Wyatt"
"Sorry username is taken" commented the goddess.
"hmm, then how about... White?" "because it sounds like Wyatt" he made another attempt.
"Sorry username is taken" again he was rejected by the beautiful lady across from him.
"Crap I'm out of ideas..." Wyatt responded with a serious look on his face. He doesn't play games especially not online ones so he has never had a problem choosing a username until now.
"....." the goddess stared at him
"hmmm screw I'll just mess with the lettering how about Twite" Wyatt declared finally coming up with something else.
"Username available..." the goddess finally accepted before looking at him "are you sure?" she asked hoping he would deny it.
"Yep, I'm sure!" he accepted
Immediately after, Wyatt's vision was covered with white light again and he had to close his eyes to adjust.
By the time he opened his eyes again, he was now standing in the middle of what looked to be an open market in the middle of a village surrounded by hundreds of players all running around talking to different npcs, or attempting to sell whatever random goods they managed to scrap together during their first day playing.
Taking a second to admire his surroundings Wyatt decided that his best option would be to find an npc guard and ask where the best place to start his adventure would be. Luckily the initial spawn point happened to be within view of some sort of training center so it wasn't hard to find someone.
"Hello sir, I have some questions" Wyatt stated while introducing himself to the guard outside the training center
"What is it?" responded the guard giving him a quick look over.
"Well you see I'm new to this whole adventuring thing, and was wondering where is the best place to start or get advice?" asked Wyatt questioning the guard.
Without delay, the guard immediately answered as if he was expecting that question as he pointed at the center behind him. "First you need to choose a suitable weapon for yourself before you can adventure anywhere, you should enter here and find one of the weapon instructors to help you learn about the different weapons as well as teach you the basics"
After thanking the guard, Wyatt headed inside to find a suitable instructor. Upon entry, he could see rows of plays swinging their weapons and practicing on some sort of wooden dummy he quickly noticed that most of the players were swinging a sword so he assumed that was what this specific center was focused on.
Looking around a bit more, he noticed that above the training areas he could see different symbols showcasing different weapons. After finding the sword symbol, he was about to move when he noticed the massive line coming out of the sword instructor's area.
".... no way in hell I'm waiting in that just to play a game" immediately after Wyatt turned around and headed into a random section without paying attention to the symbols.
As he walked down the path of this randomly chosen path he started hearing the faint sounds of metal clashing as well as the audible noise of wind being cut. As he got closer the noise continued to grow until he was finally inside the training arena.
A shocked look took over Wyatt's face as he saw that inside this area only a single woman could be seen training. In each of her hands was a circular blade weapon with a handle in the middle to hold instantly after holding them she started throwing the circular weapons at the dummies around her.
All this time, Wyatt stood at the entrance captivated by the scene in front of him. He had never seen such strange looking weapons and combined with the movements and grace of the woman training he felt like he was watching a professional dancer perform instead of training.
Time almost seemed to stop as he continued watching her majestic movements until an hour later she stopped and turned around finally noticing him.
"Hello there how may I help you?" she asked with a surprised look.
"H...H..Hi my name is Twite, I was just looking for the instructor here" he responded while stumbling over his words still in a daze from the earlier movements.
"Ah yes that would be me I'm the instructor here" she followed up with a smile.
Shock once again appeared on Wyatt's face as this woman barely looked 20. He wasn't expecting her to be an instructor at the center.
Seeing Wyatt's eyes widen she giggled before stating "sorry I might look young, but I'm nearly 40 already you see I'm a half-elf so my appearance changes much slower"
A minute later, Wyatt was finally calm again and able to properly talk to the instructor.
"My name is Saleen" she declared while reaching out to shake his hand "it's nice to meet you Twite"
