Changes

"Huh? What's happening? I don't recall having this sensation when I was walking before."

Arthur then looked at his hands and saw that they were calloused; he was surprised. He then stripped naked in front of the mirror and saw that his body was chest and pecs were outlined very neatly, and a certain 6 pack abs were mildly showing. He then looked at his biceps and triceps and saw that they were defined, and his forearms were showing veins. His legs looked like an athlete's legs, defined and strong. His lower leg looked tough and hard. He also looked a little bit taller than usual. He was just 170cm. However, he now looked like he was at least 180cm. His face also looked more define and was losing the young face, and now he looked a lot more mature and handsome.

Overall, he had the body of an athlete who has been working tirelessly for 5 years and in his prime.

"WOAH! God damn, I look fine." Arthur exclaimed while flexing in front of the mirror. "But what in the world, how did this happen. I know I've been trying to exercise recently, but this is just a little bit too much" He then remembered, oh wait. Is this the body of 'Arthur'? But how did I inherit this? Isn't it only the character in the game?

He then tried doing every exercise, he tried jumping, and he reached the ceiling with his head and had to bow down just not to let his head hit the ceiling. "Woah, my vertical would be at least 45 inches, that's MJ like". He tried doing push-ups, and he didn't feel anything even after 50 pumps; he searched the house for the 20kg dumbbells that his Dad used to work out with and curled with it, pressing it, swinging it and still felt nothing. He then ran outside and ran the whole neighborhood, and when he got back into the house. He felt exhausted, served himself some water, and sat down.

"What the hell, is this really me?" Arthur asked himself as even he was not sure. He then went upstairs and searched the 'Creation's webpage and looked for similar questions. But nothing popped up, and he even tried searching for other sites to see if anything similar has happened but found nothing. He then tried looking for something that resembles a sword, "Ruler," he then remembered, and he opened his bag looking for his ruler.

When he found the ruler, he swung it around, and he felt like he was holding a sword. He then shouted, "Double Cross," thinking that he would use the skill like in the game. However, nothing happened, and he just felt embarrassed.

"Although I can't use the skills like in the game, having this body already helps me out a ton."

After seeing all the changes in his body, he was curious about what also changed; he remembered that his INT stat showed 11 and tried opening his notebook and looked at his notes. However, something shocking happened, when he was trying to read the texts in his notebook, he couldn't understand it. "What the... You've got to be kidding me, don't tell me I have to add all the points to my INT stat if I want to be back where I was; that's BS, then I'll be behind with my swordsman class people; I'm not a mage what would I do with all those INT stats that could've gone to my STR or my AGI."

Thinking this, Arthur was stunned and as like before, not giving up, he went outside to the library and went to the kids section and browsed all the books there. Although, he did not understand anything at first. He persevered and was remembering things he used to know and finally was able to read basic math, English, history, science, and everything. He was also shocked to realize that he had a better memory than before, although in the past he was able to remember things very vividly even after some time; however, now he remembered things like what and where he saw them. He tried it and thought of the word 'island,' he then said 'page 45, 305th word'. He opened the history book on page 45 and started counting; at the 305th word, he saw the word 'Island,' and he was shocked and laughed out loud "Haha," "Shhh."

The people in the library were stunned as a man was laughing all by himself at the kids section and told him to shut up. Arthur, embarrassed, put his head down and muttered, "Haha, I have a photographic memory." He then started browsing all the books in the library until the owner kicked him out. He saw that it was already night and started rushing back to his home. "Mom, Dad, I'm home, sorry I'm late. I just got back from the library. You guys always said that the library was a heavenly place, and now I realize it really is a heavenly place."

He started making himself food and served it on the table with 3 portions. After finishing, he was so happy that he was grinning from ear to ear. Going upstairs, he went to his desk and opened his notebook. He started jotting down everything he saw that was relevant in the books he read in the library. After doing so, he looked at the clock and saw it showing 1:00 AM. "Sleep or play?" Arthur asked as he wasn't even tired, even after doing all those exercises in the morning, not eating lunch to give himself energy, and spending all those time using his brain to remember everything.

"Sleep, play, sleep, play" "Play it is then," Arthur decided, and so he went downstairs, put back the 2 untouched portions on the pot again, and washed the plates. After that, he went back upstairs and booted up his computer, looking for any news on the game.

[Player Shining Arrow was the 1st person to reach LVL.10] [Play Mad Dragon was the 2nd person to reach LVL.10] [Player Water Aqua was the 3rd person to reach LVL.10] [Play--] He saw a lot of people getting into Lvl. 10 and paid particular attention to the first 3 people who did so, Shining Arrow, Mad Dragon, and Water Aqua. He saw the player name Water Aqua and thought, that person sounds dumb. Why'd they call themselves water and then aqua? Are you doubling yourself? You should've just called yourself Water Water or Aqua Aqua; that would've sounded better. He also saw the announcement that the first city to be opened was [White Water City], the 2nd one was very far away in the 'Creation' world, and where Arthur was, it was where 'Mad Dragon' was, and it was called the [Black Rock City].

He then saw that there was a server shutdown for 2 hours when he was away and thought. Nice, now I'm only late by 7 days and 19 hours and not 7 days and 21 hours. He then started preparing himself and set the alarm for 6:00 AM so that he won't be late to school again.

He sat down on the chair and put on the helmet, and booted up the game.

[Welcome to 'Creation]

[Please enjoy your stay]

The A.I. sounded, and Arthur was then thrown into the game.
