Chapter 11: Why So Expensive?
I held he my pee in like my life depended on it. It feels similar to being in a five hour car drive and before they start the trip they would rhetorically ask you do you need to go pee. Then they would all head to the bathroom thinking you would too, only you didn’t have the urge too at the time. Only to feel it 2 hours into the drive. Except there is no bathroom on the way for 2 more hours. Furthermore the pressure in the groin is getting higher and higher every second, and there is this stinging sensation that is annoying like a mosquito bite. The kind you just want to scratch. Well, thats how I am feeling right now. My groin is in a constant pressure like it is about to explode and this stinging sensation won’t stop. Furthermore this screen is so freaking annoying the hell out of me.
One minute pass.
Two minutes pass.
Five minutes pass.
10 minutes pass. I can feel that a drop of liquid leak out of my Johnny rocket.
20 minute passes and I feel like my Johnny rocket is about to nuke my bed. Just 10 more minutes too go! I can do this! I can do this! I can do this!
Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!
Finally the timer hit 5 hours and I immediately logged out before the announcement screen even appeared. My bladder feels like it was going to explode if I run so I chose to waggle to the bathroom like a penguin instead.
Once I enter the bathroom I letted it all out. It was like a flood. It was like the noah’s ark flood all over again. I felt a sense of happiness that was indescribable. If I was to compare this to the ten best feelings in the world. It would be just above scratching a Mosquito bite. I would say it might even feel better than sex but I am still a virgin so I can’t really say that with one hundred percent confident.
After relieving myself I checked the time. It was 8am. I look over at Dong Seng and he was giggling somehow even with the muscle paralysis in his system.
I log myself back into the game.
Ding!
Congratulation on passing the Beginners training Dojo! Due to your perseverance you are rewarded with 6 strength, 3 stamina, 3 endurance, 1 agility 30 Health Points, and 20 Mana. We have more training Dojos all over the world. Seek them out and obtain higher stats. Good Luck!

Not bad I thought even through I had no idea what I am saying.
“System stat screen open,” I said and my stats appear before me.
ID: Dark Bunny
Job: Dark Quasi Mage
Level: 1
Health: 145
Mana: 73
Attack: 14-15
Defense:4
Agility: 5
Intellect: 5
Strength: 11
Endurance: 7
Stamina: 7
Luck: 23
Mhmm? My health is actually at 145? That can’t be right. The last time I check was 103. Even with the additional 30 hp I should have 133. I decided to run a wikipedia check and I found out that have stamina and endurance stats increase also increase HP because it causes you to be sturdier. I’m not going to complain from getting higher stats. My attack was also higher but that is probable due to my strength being raised by 6 points.
After checking my stats I swipe left and the screen disappeared. I look around and saw that the guy who brought me here already disappeared.
Oops nearly forgot. I need check my skills.
An empty screen appears. Empty!? Oh thats right I still need to complete my class quest. I guess I should go do my class quest now. So I ran out of the training dojo and began to look for my mage instructor. Since there is no such thing as a quasi mage in the beginning villages. It took about 10 minutes but I finally found her.
She looks to be six feet tall and her two melons were like two of my head on each side. She had these lavish curves that could make any men straight again. These developers sure have some wild fetishes that were never fulfilled. Well, good luck in your next life I guess.
Since it has been a couple of hours since the game started there were not a lot of people around the guide. I saw that the Guide’s name was Mage Guide Hua. This is actually an important piece of information. Npc relationship! NPCs right now are made with Artificial Intelligence or better known as AI. These NPC AIs are actually pretty simple. It isn’t as barbaric and boring as AI’s from 800 years ago. These artificial intelligence actually has a pretty simple level of consciousness to them. Almost on the same level as a 6 year old boy. They are also programmed to respond to certain key words. Furthermore there is a relationship bar you can check on your system screen to know how intimate you are with a certain AI. Not all the NPC in cities have AI but the most important ones do.

Not only that but monsters have them too. The higher the level the more intelligent they become. Therefore becoming friends with them would bring out better quests, rewards, and information.
“Beautiful mage guide Hua, I am new to this game and I was wondering if you got a quest for me to complete to become a full pledge mage,” I flirted. I also had my relationship screen open just incase.
“Amateur adventurer Dark Bunny it seems you would like to become a mage. Go hunt down 20 earth foxes and bring me the fox furs. Go young adventurer,” She said gently. As I turn around and leave I heard her cough. “Ahem! Before you leave you must pay me 5 silver coins for the processing fee before I can start your class mission.”
Why so expensive? I thought in my head while I wanted to yell at her isn't this a bit too shameless? This is day pure light robbery! In this game 100 copper coins equal 1 silver coin. 100 Silver coin equals 1 gold coin. 100 gold coin equal 1 thundergold coin. Simply put killing any monsters in the beginners area only gives out 6 to 8 copper coins. So mathematically it doesn’t add up. F*cking pay to win, I muttered under my breath as I hand her 5 silver coin unwillingly. This was all the money the system gave new players.
“Thank you for your generosity,” this shameless robber said too me.
Ding! Apprenticeships quest received. (Difficulty Rank F-)
Mission description: Bring to Mage Guid Hua 20 fox fur by killing the earth foxes around these parts of the wood.
I grumpily accept the mission and left for the woods. I reequips my wooden sword which increased my attack to 17 to 18 damage per hit. I little will later I found the earth foxes. They were only level two. I calculated that their were 10 to 15 of them around me. With my current stats it shouldn’t be a problem handling them.
The moment I walked into their range they already had their agro on. They immediately dash toward my direction I brought out my sword. Wait before I continue on, I just wanted to say this is my first time actually playing a virtual reality game alone so you should cut me some slack.
The earth fox jumps toward my face. I saw in slow motion sharp vicious look nails pop out of his paws and one of the paws was coming toward my face. I got scared and fell on my butt. I unconsciously swing my sword when I was on the ground. It hit and a red number appeared in the air.
-8
……. Thats it? My attack 17 to 18. Why is it a measly 8?
The fox backed away a bit after the first hit.
“Monster stats!” I yelled and a screen appeared before me with the Earth fox’s stats.
[Earth Fox] (Normal monster)
Level: 2
Attack: 10-12
Defense: 8
Agility: 5
HP: 74
Description: Easy beginner monster for beginners to battle and hone their skill. Be careful these foxes are very family oriented. Once one member is in danger they will call the surrounding members for help.
After getting over my initial shock I charged forward and used what I learn in the ways of the sword to deal multiple types of stabs, slices, chops, and swings. Due to my continues attacks the little Earth fox didn't even have a chance to retaliate.

After these damages flew out the earth fox finally gave his last screech before dying.
Hahaha this is not so bad. My experience points went up and there was loot. I went over and picked up my drops. A fox fur and 5 copper coins. I kinda like it I thought to myself and began to look for my next prey. I saw a lot of them… They were all gazing at me like I am some sort of roast pork chop.
They all came dashing over. I was mauled to death right then and there.
Good news is since this game is still relevantly brand new they allow us to revive immediately after 10 minutes from the time of death.
My spirit came out of my body and what I saw made me want to cry. I dropped my sword! Not only that but also the 5 copper coins I just got and my experience went back to zero. I thought my luck was positive 23 not negativity 23. At the same time I felt an indescribable vicious rage as I look at all those Earth Foxes that mauled me to by death.

Valkyrie's Shadow
In the wake of the Battle of Katze Plains, the banner of Ainz Ooal Gown flies proudly over the city of E-Rantel. The Sorcerous Kingdom has entered the world’s stage to the clamour of death and devastation; the surrounding nations fearfully prepare even as they reel from its calamitous debut. Within the borders of the newly annexed realm, its Human subjects cower in their homes as the Undead openly walk the streets and stalk the lands. Yet, when a destitute noble finds herself under the auspices of an unlikely benefactor, events are set into motion that will resound over the world for ages to come. A kingdom builder based on the events and setting of Kugane Maruyama’s Overlord. In a fantasy world where beings of matchless power are transmigrated from the arbitrary existence of a game, Valkyrie’s Shadow chronicles the lives of the natives whose reality has been turned upside down by their advent. It is the tale of a nation created by the whims of a supreme sovereign, and his unstoppable servants who each have their own, often twisted, interpretations of their Master’s Will. There is no victory in strength; no miracles wrought from magic that will save them: only the inexorable advance of a new world order where those who secure a place of service within will find themselves turned against the world that they once knew. [Slow buildup. Methodical storytelling with a focus on well-rounded kingdom building and character development.]
