Entering the Game
As Jack entered the game his vision washed white as his mind was linked to his avatar in-game. After a bit he appeared in a white room. After a few seconds a monitor appeared in front of Jack's sight. It was slightly transparent and it read.
-
Choose Your Race
You can choose to randomly select your race with a 0.05% chance to gain a special rare race.
-
Underneath this was a long list of different races. Jack quickly scrolled tho and selected the Demon race. After this another screen appeared prompting him to select a class. He quickly choose Magic Swordsman. A sub-class of the basic Swordsman. Afterwards it asked for a name and he quickly entered Jack the Demon.
Afterwards a second monitor appeared in front of Jack.
-
Character Customization
-
This monitor allowed the player to change how they look. Jack quickly added a few more gruesome scars to his body and he also lengthen the back of his hair and raised his height to exactly 6ft. The last thing he added was changing his eyes to a blood red and sharpened all his teeth to fangs. For the demoic look as he choose to keep his human appearance he felt he should still have something demonic like in his appearance.
Jack's sight then went black then slowly cleared as he had ended up being teleported to the outskirts of the Demon races main city. "Ah this is good. Now let's see my status." He closed his eyes for a second and simply thought 'STATUS'. The same semi-transparent screen as before appeared in his view but was colored red at the borders. On the screen it read the following.

Jack smiled softly. "Let's begin then." At this he started to run into town.
----------------
In a small apartment where that same maid from before was. She had extremely fluffy purple hair with blue tips. She stood at the exact height of 5 feet. Right now she was wearing a pair of tight blue jeans and a mint colored tight shirt. At the moment she was currently confused. On her way home she had stopped at a gaming store and bought all the things for that game she had heard rumors about. This was her first time messing with any kind of gaming software as her life till now had away been cleaning that house she had been in till today.
Eventually after a while she figured out how to set everything up. It had already been quite a few hours since she had gotten home. When she looked up she saw it was midnight. As she couldn't sleep she shrugged and activated the gaming gear going into Guardian Spirits Online. As she appeared in the white room she was a bit shocked at first then calmed down after a few. That's when she noticed the monitor.

Underneath this was a long list of different races. The girl frowned and started to scroll tho them. Eventually she sighed softly as the menu didn't give to much of a description on each so she decided to just click the random as she also didnt see any other races that really caught her attention.

She frowned at this but then shrugged. "Well I'm the same as I am in real life then. Afterwards she took a bit longer to figure out which of the many classes she wanted. She choose the Healer class thinking since it was called Healer she could help others out.
After this it prompted her for a name she could use in game. She thought about it for a while and then decided to go with the name she used on her mobile game that she used to play. She quickly typed in the name Snowflurry.
After all this, the character customization monitor appeared and she changed her height to 5 foot 11 inches. After she then proceeded to change her hair. First she shortened her hair slightly and then changed the color of it to a weird mixture of the colors of dark blue to green some places being different tints of the two colors together. She then changed her clothes to a nice deep purple dress. She smiled at herself liking the new look and accepted it.
At this point her vision blurred and turned black before slowly coming back into focus having been teleported to the center of the Human City. "Wow this all looks so real..."
After a bit of looking around in the town she walked slowly over to the lake area seeing other players who are fishing for experience there and she smiled softly at how real everything seemed. As she was walking around she felt like she was getting some strange looks. 'Maybe I overdid it with the character look....' She thought in her head.
----------------
Willow the girl who had waitressed Jack back at the restaurant was currently home, having gotten off work about 30 minutes after Jack had left. She had already changed into some comfortable clothing for sleeping, this being her undergarments and an oversized t-shirt. However as she had been following everything as of the past few months on Guardian Spirits Online. She was to excited about it being released tonight. She had been playing Virtual Reality games for a while now even having made herself a name in the online world already.
As she glanced at the time she saw it was midnight and smiled ready to go on the game. So she quickly activated the gaming system and entered the game.
As she entered the white room she looked at the monitor that appeared and scrolled tho the options and finally choose the Elf race. She then choose the Mage class. At the end she used her handle she had been using, Sasha, as her handle.
As the next screen appeared she smiled softly and changed her appreance slightly making herself look like she always did. She proceeded to shorten her height down to 5 feet 5 inches. She then changed her hair to a light teal color and made it extremely long and tied at the end with a pony tail. Her hair now reached down belong her butt. She then changed her clothing to some light airy and pretty revealing clothing. She had these two pieces each of fabric that went on her legs and arms but was cut open in the front, they were a light pink color. She simply had what looked like a scarf wrapped around her waist but it covered everything, so her private area down there was left to the imagination. She also had one piece of fabric that wrapped around her back and cobered her tits but left majority of her skin open. Her ears defaulted to a sharp point state like that of an Elves ear. She couldnt change this as it was part of her race. She also added some light pink make-up on her face that cobered majority of her facial appreance.
As she finished and accepted everything she was teleported to the Elf City which was located right across the lake from the Human City. She smiled softly and started to skip into town.
As she reached the edge of the town nearby the lake she noticed Snowflurry but decided if she was still there she'd come back since the girl looked new to gaming. Sasha then headed into town to buy at least a weapon which would cost all her starting currency.
----------------
Inside of a small manison the man who had driven Jack to his home looked down at the old currency Jack had given him for the ride. "I guess I'll collect these since I have no use for Points... Got to much money already more than I know what to do with. Welp! Let's go see what all the buzz is about with this Guardian Spirits Online game." At this he turned and activated his gaming system and entered Guardian Spirits Online.
As he appeared in the white room he looked down at the monitor and rubbed his chin as he debated on which race he should go with. Then he shrugged lightly and randomized his race.

He frowned but shrugged. "Well that's a surprise." Afterwards Victor looked tho the different classes and choose a sub-class of the warrior, the Shield Warrior. This class would basically draw out his protective nature that he already had. After that when it prompted him for a name he input Victor. He decided to go with Victor as it was the name of one of the heros in his mothers old bedtime stories.
After the third monitor popped up he started to change his look. He made his hair blonde and his eyes blue. He changed his height to 5 foot 9 inches. Then he put his basic clothing on as a knights leather armor. Then he confirmed everything.
As he was teleported he ended up teleporting directly into a monster spawn zone.
----------------
While all this had been going on Jack had reached an old historian building. He went inside and walked towards the man behind the counter. The man behind the counter looks up. "Ah welcome."
Jack smiles softly and says quickly. "Would you by chance have any work I could take on?"
The mans eyes widen. "In fact yes I recently got a hold of some information of a long forgotten ruin but everyone sent hasn't came back. Are you sure you wish to take this on?"
A screen popped up in front of Jack.
-
Legendary Quest: Search the ruins
There are some highly dangerous ruins discovered. A man of history wishes to have them searched and cleared. Only a man of strength can accomplish this task. Are you willing to try your hand?"
-
Jack immediately pressed yes. Then left the building and headed to an equipment shop and bought a sword with the 10 copper he had as his starting currency. He immediately equipped the sword.
-
[Basic Long Sword]
Stats:
STR +5
-
Afterwards he started running straight for the Elf City as the ruins were located nearby the lake there.
Along the way he passed the spawning grounds Victor was in and noticed that the man was having some trouble against a level 1 Slime. As he had no equipment and possibly was weaker then most level 1 players. So he shrugged gently and went over and used his [Basic Sword Slash] skill with his sword.
"[Basic Sword Slash]!"
-40 HP
Instantly the slime died and awarded him some things.
-
Congrats on killing the level 1 Slime
Rewards: +2 copper and +20 EXP
-
As Jack turned Victor was standing up.
Victor bowed slightly and said softly. "Thank you for the help."
Jack nodded gently. "No problem seems you might've gotten a rare race. I'll keep your secret as I know how other people would react. Would you possibly like to team up for a dungeon I need to do? With me and a few other people's help you could level quickly."
Victor frowned not entirely understanding exactly how Jack knew of his race but shrugged and nodded. "Sure sounds like a plan. My name's Victor."
Jack smiled softly and nodded in the direction of the Vampire City. "The name's Jack the Demon, you can just call me Jack. When we get to the city you can go buy whatever weapon fits your class. It'll help you when we're in battles."
At this Jack quickly sent a friend request and a party invite to Victor. At this Victor noticed he had a flashing white icon at the upper right hand side of his vision. He looked at it but it did nothing. "Um what's this flashing white light?"
Jack looks up and smiled softly. "Close your eyes and think in your head menu. It will open your main menu. Nothing much was given about the game so most people will have to figure it out on their own." At this Victor nodded to Jack's words and did as he was told. A new screen appeared in Victor's vision but trimmed with gold unlike Jack's which was trimmed in red. Victor then went tho the system finding the notification of the friend and party requests and accepted both.
After this Victor followed Jack as they both quickly ran the rest of the way to the Vampire City.
----------------
Sasha was at the weapons shop looking over a few different Mage staffs. Eventually she just grabbed the cheapest one having looked at the others for future reference. She paid the store owner the 10 copper it costs and equipped it.

She had already figured out how to open her status menu and regular menu as she was a professional gamer of these times. So in turn she had already looked at her stat screen before buying the weapon, it reads as follows.

She smiled softly and headed back to the lake. There she saw that the girl from before was still standing there almost in a daze as she was surrounded by alot of males trying to get her to join their party. She walked straight over and slipped in front of the girl. "Hey guys sorry but she's already got a party. We're already full and currently waiting for our friends to get here." The guys just frowned then shrugged and moved off.
Snowflurry stared blankly at Sasha. "T-thank you miss... They were almost on the point if harassing me... Guess I might've overdone my character...."
Sasha smiled as she turned around. "It's all good. I don't mind helping out where I see it's needed. The name's Sasha and yours?"
Snowflurry smiled back. "Snowflurry..."
"Wanna friend each other? If you're ever in another problem like that you could always contact me." Sasha said.
Sasha nodded. "Yes I'd like that.... But I don't know how to do that...."
Sasha smiled and sent her a friend request. Then explained how to access the menu and how to navigate tho it similar to how Jack did with Victor.
As Snowflurry did as Sasha told her her eyes widened at the suddenly screen. She then went tho her menu and accepted the friend request. "T-thank you again Sasha..."
Sasha chuckled softly. "It's alright."
As they were speaking Jack ran up to the lake and looked around for a few minutes before frowning. "It should be around here somewhere." He muttered softly.
Sasha looked over and noticed him. His figure and looks reminded her of that guy she had meet at work the day before. She waved at him and called out. "Hey Demon boy. Are you lost?"
Jack looked up and glanced around noting there were no others from the Demon race here. He walked over and nodded slightly. "Well I'm on a quest for an ancient ruins. It says it's around here but I don't see it."
Sasha nodded slightly. "I think I saw it on the way into the Elf City. Would you like me to show you the way?"
Jack tapped his chin. "Yes that sounds good. If you'd like you two can join my party. I'm not sure if I could take it on alone."
Sasha smiled. "Yeah no problem."
Snowflurry looked at Jack. "I'm willing to go but I'm a healer so I'll probably be useless..."
Jack looked at Snowflurry. "The heart of any party is the healer and the tank. Without them no matter how much damage the party can put out they will be wiped out."
Snowflurry's eyes widen then nodded. "Then if you'll accept me as a newbie to Full Dive Virtual Reality Gaming, I'll accept."
Jack smiled. "We'll be relying you then. Thy name's Jack the Demon what are y'all's?"
Sasha smiled and said softly. "Sasha."
Snowflurry responded after Sasha. "Snowflurry."
Jack nodded and automatically sent them both friend requests and party invites. They both accepted then Sasha frowned. "It says there are four members but there only us three here?..."
At this Victor came running up. He had been at the weapon shop buying a two handed shield.
-
[Basic Two-Handed Shield]
DEX +5

"Sorry it took me so long Jack. I am your party's tank. The name's Victor. I will be taking and occupying the monster so that you guys can kill it. I'll be relying on our Healer to keep me alive." Victor said softly as he sent the two girls a friend request which each accepted automatically.
Snowflurry smiled softly. "Well... I don't even know how to do anything here..."
Jack nodded slightly at Snowflurry's words. "To use your skills just focus on who you wish to cast it on and say the name of the skill."
Snowflurry blushed softly. "Um skill? I don't even know which ones i have..."
Jack then quickly explain how to access her status menu.
As Snowflurry did what he told her, her status menu appeared.
-

As her menu appeared Jack stepped directly behind her and pointed at the [Basic Healing Skill]. "This is your skills. Right now you've only got one but as you use your skills it's possible for it to evolve. It's even possible to gain skill books out in the field to learn new skills. By the way an evolved skill doesn't mean you lose the original. It means you will gain another stronger skill of the same kind."
Sasha raised an eyebrow but didn't ask questions as barely anyone knew much about the game's system in general.
Jack continued to speak. "Victor's basic skill is called [Charged]. It allows him to charge and stun an enemy for 5 secs at the basic level. My basic skill is [Basic Sword Slash] which is just a basic stronger attack then I can normally deal. A mage's basic skill depends on her elemental class but its a basic elemental spell."
At this Victor was a bit confused as even he hadn't yet opened his stat menu to check his own skill. He was confused as to how Jack even knew of his skill.
At the same time Sasha nodded gently. "Yes, I'm a fire type. My basic skill is [Basic Fire Spell]."
At this Jack nodded. "Well everyone knows how to use their skills I believe. We should go get a [Basic Healers Staff] for Snowflurry before we enter the ruins. Also since we are all different classes any equipment, skills, or items that can only be used by each of us will be handed directly to the one who can use it. As for items that can be used by all of us we will draw on them or if possible maybe i can suggest someone getting it as it'll boost our power within dungeons as a team. That is if you 3 wish to stay in a party with me after this."
Victor frowned. "Shouldn't we find a 5th team member?"
Jack smiled. "No. I think with just us, we should be more then enough and if after this you 3 wish to stay in the party, I will be having a loyal partner joining us here."
