《RWO - Dreams of another world》22 - Dude, where'd I leave my avatar?
Advertisement
Um, Where's my save menu? I want to go back.
I was playing BlockMiner with Nyatali. I logged into RWO. I trained with David. I hit my special button. Everything slowed down and I hit David a bunch of times. My body stopped moving and I fell down. I was disconnected from RWO. I was in the nothing place again. A system message kept showing up asking me if I wanted to restart the server. I showed up here logged in as Doktor Urmind.
Now what? I've been here before. There used to be a door in this room. Doktor Urmind made some mystical hand gestures and then we went somewhere else. What hand gestures did he use? I try to remember the hand gestures he made. I can imagine them. I slow them down and look closely. I might have gotten an [interpreting mystical gestures skill] but I really don't know what the gestures meant or did.
I try to copy the first gesture. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. On my fourth try, I see a notification.
[System: opening superuser menu]
Now I see a window with some options:
[Superuser Menu]
Teleport menu Window menu God mode Quick commands
That second gesture was him picking a menu option. [System; +1 interpreting mystical gestures]
I move my hand up and down.The selected item follows my finger. I think he picked 'God mode' that time. I'm not sure I'm ready to try that out yet. The window menu sounds safe.
[Window menu]
System console System dashboard Interface window Hacking window
Nope, let's go back and try quick commands
[Quick commands]
Toggle invisible Jump to Hashi Watch Hashi Hacker chat Check my stocks
Can he go invisible and follow me around? That's a bit creepy. I don't know what that last option is. I'm not sure I want to chat with his hacker friends. I don't know what they'll do if they find out that I'm logged in as Urmind. Then again, they might be able to help. This feels weird messing around with Doktor Urmind's menus. There is one I have to try on this menu.

I pick 'Watch Hashi'. A window pops up. It shows me in this room. I'm seeing all of my movements. I wave at myself. Does he watch me while I'm sleeping? Can he see me in RWO? I close the window. Could I make one for Nyatli? Do I want to watch her when she's not playing with me? Thinking about doing that makes me feel weird. An unpleasant weird. Sounds like a ninja sort of thing to do. I still like the ninja clothes though.
This isn't getting me get out of this room or find out where Doktor Urmind is.
[Teleport menu]
Office Home Jump to Hashi Secret Lab
Home sounds good. I pick 'Home'.
I'm standing in front of a fairly large gameworld house. The sign next to the door reads 'Dr. Urmind'. I'm not stuck in the room. I'm going inside.

Rise Of The White Dragon
June 15 of the year 2010, the third awakening happened. Several smaller worlds had returned to connect with the main world as living beings of different races started to appear and some people managed to connect with the origin and gain control of various powers: control of fire, of water, of wind, of air, and of earth… In the midst of all these confusions, towers that gave unimaginable powers began to appear in all corners of the world, where those who already had powers could upgrade and become more powerful or even those who did not have powers could receive powers through tests of the tower. And because of these towers, conflicts started to happen in all corners of the world by those wanting to monopolize these towers.

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.
