《Pandora: A New Beginning》Chapter 3: The Elder
Advertisement
"Name." The system said with its monotonous voice.
"Rose Trinity" I replied.
"Would you like to randomize your race, class and life class?"
"No" I already had a class in mind with my strategy, if I randomized everything now it will ruin my plan.
"Please select your race, please keep in mind the race you choose will belong to a certain alignment and this alignment cannot be changed."
Evil Neutral Good Devil Dark Elf Wood Elf Demon Human Celestial Orc Gnome Fairy Blood Elf Dwarf Half-Elf
"Dark Elf" Although the media coverage on Pandora has been high, the actual information about the game released is extremely limited, one of the key points mentioned is that there are other ways to get attribute points.
"Please select your class, please note that you are not required to follow the recommended attributes."
Class Recommended Attributes Warrior Strength and Constitution Archer Dexterity and Agility Thief Strength, Dexterity and Agility Mage Intelligence and Dexterity
"Thief"
"Would you like to select your life class now or wait?"
"Wait." As I expected, you can still choose to wait and find an NPC to mentor you.
There are advantages of having NPCs mentor you, the rate at which you will gain life class exp will increase, as well as receiving advice and tips and finally the most important point, you can build relations with the NPCs, creating more opportunities to gain more hidden quests, which wouldn't be available normally.
"Congratulations, you have created your account."
"The game will be open in 25:43:57. Please come back when the timer has finished to play the game."
After I finished creating my character I exited my capsule, it had only taken me a couple of hours to finish creating my character, so I went downstairs and watched T.V. for the rest of the day.

When it came to midnight I headed off to bed, but unfortunately, I was very nervous unable to get to sleep, so I stayed awake looking at my ceiling, I set my alarm to wake me up 1 hour before launch and then closed my eyes, it still takes a while to do but eventually falling asleep.
...
I woke up the next morning and looked at the time, my alarm didn't go off so I woke up only 30 minutes before the launch of the game, I had a quick shower and got into some comfortable clothes and sat in the capsule.
While inside the capsule all I could see was a timer, so I slowly watched the timer decrease second by second.

"Welcome to Pandora."
It was very nostalgic, seeing the opening again, but this I had some extra knowledge about the game, for example, you can simply skip the intro by simply saying "skip." This piece of information wasn't found out until 4 months after the game launched which didn't provide anyone with an advantage, but that was because the 'first' title had already been taken, although this title wasn't anything special in the early game, it became an extremely great item for the late game, because this wasn't just any title, this title gave the user access to a 'God' quest which came in 5 parts.
"Skip."
"Are you sure you want to skip the opening to Pandora? After the opening is skipped it will not be viewable again."
"Yes."
After that was said the intro for Pandora was skipped and I landed in the middle of a village, the game had many villages like this all numbered from 1-100,000. The village which you land in is totally random so despite being the first person to log in I landed in Beginner Village 40,593.

After landing I walked to the village elder.
"Welcome traveller, because you are the first traveller to land in this world you are granted the title 'First'."
Title Obtained: 'First' 'First' - A title given to the first person to arrive in this world.
Exp gained + 2%
All Stats + 1
Could contain other uses, try asking around.
After receiving the title I checked my status window
Name: Rose Trinity Race: Dark Elf Level: 1 Class: Thief Life Class: N/A Health: 200 Mana: 100 Strength: 11 Constitution: 11 Agility: 11 Dexterity: 11 Intelligence: 11 Charisma: 11
"Thank you, Village Elder."
Relation with the village elder has increased by 1
"Village elder, you look tired, is there something I can do to help?"
"Recently there has been a lot of wolves attacking the villages on the outskirts of the village, can you prevent the wolves from attacking the villagers?"
E-rank Quest received:
Kill 10 wolves: 0/10
As I walked away from the village elder I saw more and more people starting to emerge in my village, without paying attention to it any longer I walked to the edge of the village where the wolves are located.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.
