08 - Old man enter the village

"Welcome to our village, our dear saviors. As I'm, Tucker, the representative of the kingdom and the guardian of this village gladly welcome you with wide open arm..." A middle person, out of nowhere, come and greet me after I enter this rustic place with Lilith. That person seem expecting our arrival. So, finally I meet a NPC huh? But the NPC not like in typical role-play game, because he showing some expression, like normal human.

"Thanks for your polite greeting..." I reply the greeting by bowing my head. Ah, he also do the same like me.

"Yes.. yes.. Tucker-san. Ah, we already listen your introduce about this village so please don't mind about us and skip it like already seen message.... Ah, can you just give us our beginner weapon and novice kit so we can start our journey here?" Lilith, unlike my first impression about her, a pitiful person, cheerily said those words and making that Tucker guy uncomfortable.

"Yes my lady, sure I will. (Bringing some thing out from his beg) Here the catalogue of the weapons that you can pick..." That NPC actually must be shocked, after been told that we are the revive persons, even though I'm not the one. Well, let make it secret. Ah, that Lilith also do some unreasonable thing asking to skip his introduction. I would like to learn more about the beginner course but.... well, I will go through and read the discussion in the forum later on Internet. The forum that actually started by the administrators and the Game Master, have become the place where the players want to gain some information. I hope there are some walk-through posted by the kind person, after all, sharing is caring for us, the passionate gamer. After Lilith taken her weapon of choice, she give me the "menu-like" a piece of hard paper to me so I can get my turn.

[The choices of weapon for beginner]

- Sword / Katana / Shinai / Hammer / Spear / Bow / Axe / Staff / Mace

Oh, that quite plenty to pick, but what should I choose?

"I will pick the staff this time! Life-san, you should become a vanguard, and pick the assault weapon! Leave your back on me! I will protect you from the rear!" This shameless girl nonchalantly ask me to follow her bid. Well, I won't mind of course.

"I choose the hammer."

"Right away, sir. Here your weapon, sir.." Tucker brings out the weapon, a battle hammer to me, from his beg. I wonder that he is Do***mon or something, but how he manage to keep that thing on his small beg. Thinking back, hey, didn't in the every game that I played have the beg with that function so I can keep few thing without any problem. Look at the game with the protagonist of 10 years old that looking for monsters to catch, he even put his bicycle on his beg. Enough of the joke, I use my eyes to appraisal my weapon and the result are:

______________

Beginner Hammer

Physical Attack : 10

Magic Attack : 10

Durability : Infinite

Note : The hammer that given to the brave that will save the world from the evil lord.

[Equipped with first weapon grant you the weapon handled skill; You have learned Hammer Smash skill.]

"Oh, it's come with a weapon skill huh..."

"Hey, you shouldn't be that surprise, Life-san... It's not your first time doing it, right.... By the way, I choose Ice magic as my weapon skill. Hahaha, I will that I too can become a top player, and I want to be the very best, no one ever was!" She said it with the proud tone, I don't know if she deliberately using some phrase from the cute monster hunter song lyrics. Hmm... Ice magic huh, not bad.

"This is your novice kit; a spatial beg, some money and equipment. Hope that you two will shine and save our world from the Demon Lord. I wish you good luck and good fortune. May the Goddess bless your journey..." Said the NPC before left us without let me asking some pointer in this place.

"Thanks..." I said it with gratitude.

"Tomorrow we go for hunt after register ourselves in the guild...."

"You don't need to learn new skill or train your current skill?" I ask her, as she decide to challenge the monster without any fighting ability. As I read on the forum before, they said even rank H monsters are quite powerful and out of question for the novice with one skill.

"But, I don't want to waste my time in magic school!" Why she said like that, it's simple. If someone want to learn the new skill without buying skill books or learning by fighting the mobs, you can actually enter the school, specialize for the skills. But, to enter the school, it's depend on the weapon that you choose after enter the village. If you choosing a sword, your choice will limited to the skill that related with sword. But, if you manage to learn the other weaponry skill, mostly by book skill or by the reward skill, you will allowed to learn the others as long as related to it.

"You must take the course or you will die again. Don't make the same mistake anymore!" I scold her for her stupid decision.

"It's true. Okay, I get it. But, still I want to hunt the monsters, so in the morning, we attend the school and in the afternoon, we do the grinding, okay?" She actually accepted my decision, but still want to do the hunting things. Well, I'm okay with it. I got 'heal' skill so two man party will do the job.

"I concur. We start tomorrow morning as it getting darker now."

"Let me guide you to the good Inn." Lilith pull my hand and direct me to her destination. By the way, this time in this game world actually follow the real time, so the night here shown its also night on the real world. For my age, it's better not too much on gaming to retain our health.

The Inn that we pick is Manchester Inn, after 15 minutes walk. The Inn itself quite simple and humble atmosphere, but bigger that I expected. This in quite cheap as Lilith told me, it cost 5 silver for the room and meals. Other inn average price are 10 silver coins and the hotels cost more that 20 silver coins. We receive 1 gold coin, equalize to 100 silver coins. Meaning, we only have 20 days worth of living given to us and if we don't have the job or begun hunting. we will meet the same fate like Carrotto, the guy that died after been in starvation condition.

After receiving our respective keys for our room, we end our day and when sleep (Log out). I having my dinner in this real world, exercise a bit, checking the forum on the Internet before truly sleeping this time.
