Character Creation
Xiao Yun slowly opened his eyes to the bright light, and standing before him was a reflection of himself in a mirror, or more precisely, his character's reflection.
He touched his own face in disbelief.
"This…is me?"
He was surprised to see that his character's appearance looked identical to his real-life appearance! The similarities were uncanny!
"...."
Xiao Yun was speechless, even overwhelmed by the system that he was unable to comprehend at first glance.
This is Xiao Yun's first time playing a game, but despite having no experience, he still has some knowledge because of Fatty Chen, who would always talk to him about them.
"Even here, I have to live my life as an Assassin, huh…" he smiled slightly at the recommendation being thrown at him.
However, despite never choosing the Assassin life himself, he never hated it, nor did he blame his mother for helping him choose it. In fact, he actually enjoyed such a life where you could only rely on yourself and nobody else.
The only reason why he decided to stop the nightlife was because of his mother's death. Mainly because it was always his mother who would give him missions, and without her, where and how can he receive any more missions besides the ones in the yellow folder left behind by his mother?
"Yes."
Xiao Yun replied.
<'Yes' has been Confirmed>
….
...…
...…..
—How many more of these do I have to do?
Xiao Yun could not help but wonder as one thing begins after the previous just ended.
—And how is it scanning my body?
He did not know how this game worked or what was going on and could only follow the flow.
….
...
...
...…
.....
….
The same sentence repeated for a dozen time before stopping. Apparently, it had given up on trying to awaken his other two potential Bloodline.
"Phantom," he said without thinking much.
"..."
"The real Phantom," he said after a moment of thinking.
<'The real Phantom' confirmed>

After many, many minutes of waiting inside the character creation room which was just an empty room with a large mirror, and barely needing to do anything himself, Xiao Yun has finally finished his character creation and was ready to begin his first journey in a virtual world.
30 seconds passed by in a flash when Xiao Yun was in a thinking mindset trying to comprehend the things he saw during the character creation such as Skill Tree and Bloodline.
Soon, a bright white light bathed Xiao Yun's figure, blinding his view and causing him to disappear from the empty room.
The next time he would open his eyes, an unfamiliar scenery of some village would greet his view.
"This is…"
Xiao Yun looked around with curiosity, and the first thing he noticed was how close the clouds in the sky seemed to him, looking almost reachable if he had a ladder.
Next, he would notice the way his character felt, and unbelievably, it felt like his real body in the real world!
His sense of smell, touch, taste— all of his senses were working so flawlessly that even he wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this game and in real life!
The next thing he would notice was the people; it was crowded as hell.
Never in his life has he seen so many people in one place let alone being within the crowd.
There were at least a thousand people here, and being around this many people made Xiao Yun uncomfortable at heart.
And because of the discomfort, it did not take long for him to decide to leave his spot to find a quieter place despite not knowing where to go, so he wandered around this village-like place.
The place was vast and open, without any walls or blockade in sight. Both large and small buildings made of wood were scattered around, and despite walking for many minutes, Xiao Yun was unable to find a place in this large area where the population was not so big.
It was only until he reached the outer circle of the island where he could see and touch the gigantic wall that separated him and the other side could he feel at ease.
Here, at the outer circle, there were only a dozen people at most, and a merchant who seemed to be selling bottles filled with colorful bottles by the walls.
Xiao Yun, not knowing what he should be doing, decided to go speak to the merchant by the walls for information.
"Hello, how may I help you?"
The young lady behind the cart with the colorful bottles neatly displayed asked him when he got close enough.
"I am new here, and I would like to get some advice," he said.
"Oh, then you're not here to buy my potions?"
The cheerful expression on the young lady turned into disappointment.
"These colorful bottles are called potions?" he asked, seemingly interested in anything that was colorful.
"Yes! I have both health and mana potion if you wish to buy some! They will greatly assist you in your journey outside these walls!" she said with anticipation in her voice, hoping that he'd buy some after hearing her words.
"How much do you want for one?" Xiao Yun asked.
"10 copper for health potions and 20 copper for mana potions!"
"10 copper…how much is that?" he asked.
"Eh?"
The young lady looked at him with a weird expression.
"I just started, so I do not have anything on me…" he then said.
"Is that so…"
"Then how about this? You can help me gather some ingredients and I'll make some potions for you in return. How does that sound?"
"But I came here for information..."
"I'll also tell you all that I know if you help me!"
Xiao Yun thought about it for a moment before nodding. "Okay. What do you want me to gather, and where is it?"
"I just need 10 Restoration Seed. You can find them right outside the east gate."
Although he didn't really need to do all this extra work for information he could probably get from asking someone else, the potions had piqued his interest, and he wanted one for himself.
"Okay, I'll be back," he said.
