Chapter 2: Character creation
WELCOME TO DEEP DIVE
Logging in to the game…
Due to lack of saved character data character creation commencing…
ERROR! ERROR!
Character creation failed due to user in critical condition.
"NO! I'VE ALREADY SOLD EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE! I'LL DO EVERYTHING FOR THIS JUST TO WORK!" Ned shouted in desperation.
However, a mysterious being was impressed at Ned's fighting spirit.
Due to the strong desire of the user and GAIA - COMMENCING MANUAL SYSTEM OVERRIDE.
———
Ned, on a critical condition due to him taking a swing at random scrawny kid that knocked the living hell out of him, encountered a bug in Deep Dive. Maybe this kind of bug will turn his life around. Or not?
Ned was transported in a duark space and all that he can see is a floating window in front of him.

After the character creation. The empty black space suddenly turned into a training tutorial room with basic weapons to choose from (sword, spear, pistol and bow)
Ned is baffled at what happened. "I could have been a handsome guy even for once. Why have the gods have forsken me?!" Ned complained In his mind, he was thinking that maybe he could have a greek god body or have the sharing gun eye that every weebs have dreamt of.
Expectation vs reality. Ned, although disappointed in his appearance and his stats. His focus was redirected into something else. He was interested in the 3 passive skills that he received from GAIA.
Weapon adept? Ned was smiling from ear to ear, he already has the perfect weeb weapon in mind.
NOVICE KATANA
A katana for newbies. Nothing special.
+ 3 DEX
+ 2 STR
+ 1 STA
KATANA! Ned shouted in excitement and kept swinging it in the air. Ned walked closer to the wooden dummy, a weeb instinct suddenly popped inside his little head.
In the training room, Ned stands before a wooden dummy. With unwavering focus and a sense of quiet determination, he assumes the iai stance, his hand resting lightly on the hilt of his katana.
In one fluid motion, he draws his blade with such speed, the steel gleaming in the dim light as it slices through the air with razor-sharp precision. The wooden dummy, a silent witness to the unfolding spectacle, seems to quiver imperceptibly as the blade approaches.
With a sudden burst of energy, he executes his iai technique, channeling years of rigorous anime binge watching. Time seems to slow as the blade arcs gracefully through the air, the sound of its passage like the whisper of a gentle breeze.
The moment of impact is swift and decisive, the wooden dummy cleaved cleanly in two as if by the stroke of a master artisan's chisel. Splinters fly as the halves fall apart, testament to the sheer force and skill behind the protagonist's strike.
With a calm exhale, Ned sheathes his blade.
Ned closed his eyes as he pictured a special iai slash in his head. He then stepped his left foot slightly forward, crouched while holding his the handle on his right hand while the left hand is holding the scabbard, and began to breathe in a half beat tempo.
"Weaboo no kokyu - Ichi no kata: Kan Sokusha Zen" those words are the only thing that he could ever think of.
Ned unsheathed his sword as he dashed and slashed the target for a split second then sheathed the sword as soon as the action was done.
*Iai is a quickdraw technique that has a swift and precise movement of drawing the sword from the scabbard and executing the technique in a fluid motion*
"Attention! Attention! Otaku on loose! This guy is finna Kimetchu no Yabai'd the hell out of them mobs asses". Ned proudly boasts his newfound weeb skill as he was jumping up and down from laughter and excitement.
