Dale shortly learn by means of his stats once more and his jaw could not assist however fall in shock.

“Actually… I didn’t anticipate to depart this place with such excessive stats… I anticipated them to be a bit excessive however…”

“My predictions had been round 85… Which is technically right if we take away the bonuses from the gear and the momentary bonus from the tutorial.”

‘My highest Stat goes down from 115 to 75.’

‘However my predictions already accounted for my gadgets, so I used to be flawed regardless.’

‘Facet of May… Jelly, seems like I owe you a bit…’

‘And this is not all…’

Dale touched his personal physique, it did not appear that a lot completely different from earlier than, however his pores and skin did appear a bit extra elastic… Although it’d’ve been his creativeness.

“Physique reformation… I do not know what that is but it surely does not appear to be something dangerous…”

“A lift to stamina restoration and therapeutic charge cannot be a unfavorable factor.”

‘Additionally, that is positively greater than only a easy everlasting buff… It’s a bit hazy, however I do bear in mind listening to the Inexperienced Field’s voice whereas I squirmed in ache.’

‘One thing of significance has positively occurred.’

‘And if it occurred as soon as it might probably occur twice, so I ought to concentrate to any doable occasions which may carry forth the Inexperienced Field.’

‘The extra I do, the extra data I’ll collect to finally deciphering this thriller. ‘

Dale checked his time, he nonetheless had round a minute earlier than the Tutorial would finish.

He considered turning round and promoting his present armor as its worth would lower exterior, however ultimately, he shook his head at his personal greed and narrow-mindedness.

“Though I’ll lose the stat boosts for now, I’ll absolutely want them later.”

‘MMORPGs at all times have an abundance of ruins, forgotten temples, and the like.’

‘So even when their usefulness decreases after I go away this place, I can at all times pull them out when the time comes.’

‘In addition to, these are Distinctive gear drops, they are not assured to drop on each server.’

‘Particularly the Sword, not solely are its drops presupposed to be uncommon, however you additionally want each on the similar time for it to kind.’

‘The prospect of this occurring are extraordinarily low.’

‘As for this armor, it is not a assured drop from the raid.’

‘Do not forget that each server has a hard and fast loot pool of things, and by opening the ultimate chest after finishing the Historical Vault Raid, they could or might not be included inside it.’

‘And to high it off, it is not assured for a server to have all the elements directly, I used to be fortunate, however I additionally received 4 further helmets, 3 pairs of trainers, and gauntlets… However I received just one chest piece.’

‘Because of this the loot is totally random, some servers could have just a few units, whereas some others could solely have separate items…’

‘And who could be so determined as to problem solely a single Raid constantly?’

‘Within the Beta, we had been pressured to however that is the true recreation now, there’s a whole Tutorial ready to be explored…’

‘And I guess there are extra Raids on the market to be accomplished within the tutorial, they could be less complicated or tougher than the Historical Vault Raid, but it surely’s possible the primary.’

‘The Historical Vault was just too troublesome, it had no closing Boss because it was an encounter as a substitute, however after analyzing its construction with Jelly, I am certain there shall be one now.’

‘Due to all of this, their worth will solely enhance with time as I think about that, with due time, it will grow to be one of many strongest Early Sport gadgets…’

‘Effectively “Ear-ly” contemplating they’ve fairly steep necessities for brand new gamers.’

‘Solely Elites would be capable of use it as an Early recreation merchandise…’

“As for the remaining, I’ll preserve a watch open for the separate items in the marketplace, if I should purchase them and resell the entire set… Hehehe…”

“If I should purchase the sword items and fuse them too… I can promote this very highly effective and fascinating gear for these Gaming teams and Clans for a steep worth.”

‘Nobody is aware of their true worth but, so will probably be straightforward for me to purchase them at a low worth.’

‘I’m the one one now that is aware of the Set Impact of this Armor.’

‘That was why I invested nearly all of my present cash within the Commerce Heart…’

Dale checked his menu and noticed there have been solely half a minute earlier than the tutorial ended.

With this, he went to examine on the promotional video’s view depend.

“I already did all the things I needed… Wow… Taking a look at these numbers… I guess nearly everybody watched the video huh…” He mentioned with a smile as he noticed the quantity go previous the tens of Thousands and thousands

‘Sooner or later I will have the precise to brag about this, I am certain of it…’

“I’ll check out it later and see what they did with what I gave them.”

“I solely hope that they stored a few of my strategies and gadgets a secret as I requested.”

‘I solely had a lot time to chop and edit issues from my facet…’

Dale went to the Menu and chosen to depart the tutorial.

[Would you like to finish the tutorial?]

“Sure.”

[DING]

[Congratulations on being the first to finish the Tutorial!]

[You’ve set a new record!]

[Would you like to leave your name in the Hall of Fame?]

“Simply do the identical as final time… Use my proxy identify, My Dad… Hahaha…” He mentioned with a teasing smile

/Fwoosh!/

White gentle lined his entire physique as he was teleported out of the tutorial, leaving nothing however a small legend behind…

…

[DING!]

[Welcome to the Beginner Town Selection screen, please choose the area you would like to start at]

[Also, complete your character customization by choosing your starting Class]

Dale recovered his senses as he heard the great and mild voice of the system in his ears.

“Hum…”

He inspected his environment and shortly discovered himself to be floating on high of an enormous detailed map.

There have been many factors of curiosity in it like beacons of sunshine that shone all the best way to the skies, the place he was, and together with different issues comparable to mountains and forests, like a complicated 3D map.

He may even see clouds and… If he paid loads of consideration along with his excessive gaze, he felt like he may see some issues flying within the sky in some excessive sections of the map…

It was onerous to identify them however to have the ability to see them within the first place meant that they had been huge, contemplating Dale was wanting on the map as if he was watching the continent from outer house.

“Time to decide on… Oh!”

‘I forgot to open it…’

Dale remembered his Beta Tester Reward field, he had been so completely baffled by this new world and his priorities that he forgot to open it…

“I can do that when I am all the best way down there, as for my Class…”

Dale already knew what he needed.

“Fallen Noble.”

[Are you sure you want to proceed as a Fallen Noble?]

“Sure.”

[You have been rebirthed as a Fallen Noble]

“…”

‘It might appear unusual that I selected the magic beginning Class as a substitute of the warrior Class, however the fact is that your begin is fairly meaningless…’

‘At the least within the Abilities/Stats division, that’s much more true for me, somebody that already has each.’

‘Even then, you will not achieve something significant by choosing the opposite Lessons, in truth, you do not achieve something by choosing both of all of them.’

‘Nevertheless, I selected this one because it brings me extra probabilities of getting a very good Class with Magic potential.’

‘On their earlier recreation, magic composed an enormous and nearly important position within the Finish-Sport, and I doubt this may not be the case right here.’

‘Mana is the unit behind Talent casting and lots of different actions, and is extraordinarily important to the gamers, particularly for me who’s taking part in alone.’

‘Though I do bear in mind some cool Class paths for the opposite Lessons, I can nonetheless search them out by beginning as a Fallen Noble.’

‘I’ve a whole archive I made on my laptop, I can test it out exactly as soon as I am again…’

Over his 12 months getting ready for Azimuth, Dale ended up creating the behavior of hoarding up information about guides and the like on a number of folders throughout his PC.

As a result of even along with his enhanced physique and Abilities, it was not possible to memorize all of it.

“Anyhow, being a Fallen Noble is far cooler than being an Outcast or a boring villager…”

[DING]

[Your Class has been processed]

[In order to help the player have a better and more enjoyable experience, your combat potential and gameplay style throughout the Tutorial have been analyzed]

[Your current combat potential is equal to the expected of a Level 56 Warrior]

“Hum?!”

‘That is fascinating…’

‘So the AI is telling me that even with my excessive stats, I’m nonetheless solely akin to a Late Stage 50 monster/NPC? If that’s the case, what am I lacking?’

“Hum… are you contemplating me with armor or me with out my gear?” He requested as he seemed round

[The combat evaluation is derived from the player’s base form while wielding basic gear]

“I see… In that case, that’s a lot nearer to what I needed to be.”

‘If it is contemplating me utilizing solely primary gear, then my present true fight energy is above Stage 56 by fairly a bit.’

Dale thought for some time earlier than he shook his head and mentioned:

“Time to decide on my spawning level then…”

Dale instantly seen the format of the continent.

It was formed like a sideways egg… That was a really pressured rationalization but it surely labored for now.

Some areas had been marked, these had been the locations the place gamers may begin at, however only some had detailed explanations, and Dale quickly understood why.

Upon selecting an space, the map would zoom in on the geography of the area, permitting Dale to estimate what he would possible expertise in there.

However he additionally seen {that a} unusual white fog lined a lot of the areas, making him shortly perceive that the sport was telling him to go discover issues on his personal…

The map was possible shaped primarily based on the frequent sense of an space, there was no want to cover a whole mountain if it may very well be seen from afar…

However what lies within the depths of a secluded mountain vary?… Effectively… Go discover out for your self!

“Yelp… Even when I attempt to squint my eyes as a lot as I can, my imaginative and prescient does not assist me in getting any scoops on the terrain…”

He inspected the map for a short time earlier than coming to a conclusion.

“Hum… So the North part of the Continent is meant to be the newbie’s village.”

“A decrease stage common, and likewise properly defined so that each participant could discover their preferable place in there…”

‘There are significantly extra spawn factors within the North near the shore as in comparison with the Heart and South parts of the continent. This implies the builders need us to go there first.’

“However this is not what I would like.” He mentioned deeply as he zoomed out on the map once more

“Purely by stat, I’m a Stage 60 participant, my fight potential is that of a Stage 56!”

“If I’m to put on all of my gear whereas being in an acceptable place…”

“So I ought to go to areas meant for my stage…”

[DING]

However he was abruptly interrupted by a System notification.

[You were the first to complete the tutorial]

[You have received a special temporary privilege]

[Privilege: I am Number 1

Gives you the opportunity to see some pieces of information below that of Level 10.

You can check the average Level of any of the Starter locations.

Lasts until you reach Level 10.

]

Simply because the message performed out, all the map started to alter as strings of phrases and data began to look.

“That is…”

Dale chosen one of many beginning villages within the North and noticed many further bits of data:

[Stone Creek Village

Overall Level: 2

Number of Miscellaneous quests: 17234

Number of Miscellaneous quests(Repeatable): 2456

Number of Normal quests: 9658

Number of Normal quests(Repeatable): 867

Number of Special quests: 1434

Number of Special quests(Repeatable): 74

Number of Slightly Rare quests…

…

Number of Unique quests: 3

]

“Oh! This wasn’t right here earlier than…” He mentioned with some pleasure

‘Beforehand, I may solely see the degrees and the names of those starter villages… However now, much more is being displayed…’

It did not take lengthy for Dale to determine what had occurred.

“So that is the impact of the privilege… I can see hidden data so long as it’s said to be under Stage 10…”

“Hum, in that case, these numbers may very well be imprecise, there is perhaps extra quests above that of Stage 10 for all I do know, even when that place is low leveled…”

Dale checked just a few extra villages, however they had been fairly much like the others, nonetheless, this allowed him to get a greater thought of how uncommon ‘Uncommon’ was and the way distinctive ‘Distinctive’ really was…

Following this discovery, he targeted his sights on the subsequent fascinating factor, the Capital on the heart of the continent!

“Hum?! The variety of quests is… Means larger… However the general Stage is… 40?!”

Dale abruptly understood.

“In fact it’s. The gamers are supposed to begin on the North of the continent, and get stronger as they descend into greater Stage areas.”

“That is proven as the common stage of the starter areas exponentially will get greater over time as one descends.”

“In fact, there are low-level quests on the Capital as no territory will solely have high-Stage quests…”

“Nevertheless, that is not the focus of that space, keep in mind that the Capital is a high-Stage Zone, so within the first place, what ensures that these quests shall be straightforward to complete?”

‘Even when the mission to assemble herbs on the forest is under Stage 10, what if the monsters in mentioned forest are Stage 40 to 50?’

‘For example such monsters are a rarity, would you, as a HardCore participant threat your character for such a mission? Even when the prospect of assembly such a high-Stage monster was low?’

‘Do keep in mind that the ache index is at a MAXIMUM worth, the ache of being decapitated or tortured by a random monster will certainly persist with any individual that experiences it…’

‘There have been many such conditions up to now, and it is a purpose why there are legal guidelines to restrict the utmost quantity of ache somebody can expertise in VR video games…’

‘Although I ponder how Elden Throne bypassed them… I… I did not signal something with out understanding proper?’

Gulping dry, he shook these darkish ideas out of his thoughts.

“There are a lot of causes as to why somebody would select to begin at a tougher space, and a few of these embody the lower in competitors, to the very fact the individual had an excellent Tutorial and easily felt they had been prepared…”

“For a standard participant, I can see them with the ability to go away the Tutorial with the stats of a Stage 10 participant in the event that they get some good consumable gadgets such because the Sigils…”

“And in the event that they performed properly sufficient, particularly if they’re HardCore gamers or if they’re a part of a well-organized Clan/Gaming Membership, it would not be onerous for a participant to exit of there with the stats of a Stage 25 or 35… Maybe greater.”

‘Riskier areas suggest higher rewards…’

On that word, Dale continued to discover his choices, till…

[Southern Border Village of Resko

Overall Level: 65

Number of Miscellaneous quests: 103

Number of Miscellaneous quests(Repeatable): 32

Number of Normal quests: 165

Number of Normal quests(Repeatable): 77

Number of Special quests: 319

Number of Special quests(Repeatable):160

Number of Slightly Rare quests…

…

Number of Unique quests: 53

Number of Unique quests(Repeatable): 7

Number of Relic quests: 4

Number of Relic quests(Repeatable): 0

Number of Epic quests: 1

…

]

Dale’s eyes nearly fell from their sockets as he learn these perverted values…

“Not even the capital has such quests…”

“In fact, I can solely see quests inside Stage 10, however nonetheless… If the standard of lower-level quests are like this, then I can solely think about after I get throughout the correct stage of the area…”

“65 is a fairly excessive beginning Stage, however I ought to be capable of persevere… My fight evaluation is shut sufficient, so with some gadgets, I ought to go the {qualifications} to be there.”

‘I doubt anybody would come right here, and even when they do, they’d be caught to those Low-Stage miscellaneous quests… If I’ve not accomplished them but…’

‘By the point they rise to the Stage essential to embark within the Increased Stage quests… I’d’ve already accomplished them additionally.’

‘I discover it bizarre how there are such a lot of quests although… Effectively, I simply have to search out out why.’

“And Earlier than I’m going… Time to alter from this cumbersome armor… The NPCs on this recreation are very ‘conscious’ of issues, if I’m going round with an enormous go well with of heavy armor it might appeal to undesirable consideration.”

‘I nonetheless bear in mind the story of a participant that was robbed by NPCs in a earlier recreation… I discovered it fairly humorous, and that’s another reason why I ought to be cautious…’

‘As I don’t wish to be different folks’s goal of mockery.’

With a smile, Dale chosen his spot, from the North to the South, this Village was the final doable starter location.

It was additionally the furthest beginning Village from the Capital, at the very least from a fast look over his astronomical view.

Over right here, nobody would hassle Dale as he grew his powers… Or so he hoped.

/Swoosh!/

Dale’s physique was sucked into the map, his journey was simply beginning.

…

/THUD!/

“OUCH! Hey!!… Danmit…”

“Was there a must drop me into the hard-stone floor like this, recreation?” Dale complained as he received up from the bottom

/Poof poof…/

He received up from the bottom as he shook off the mud from his garments and bum.

“One final look earlier than I depart.” He mentioned as he checked his gear

He was at the moment sporting a full black apparel with just a few items of silver metallic adorning it.

It was principally material armor like a big leather-based jacket, but it surely wasn’t as spacious as one being fairly near the physique.

On his again was a Sword gleaming in faint gentle along with a Darkish, plain metallic Spear.

[Vault Prospector Set (Very Rare)

]

It wasn’t essential to say, however this set was the developed type of his earlier Set that gave him the identical Talent.

“Hum… My sword is a bit too flashy, so I will preserve it in my stock for now.”

“And lastly, going round with my hood and masks up could make the NPCs cautious of me…”

‘In truth, I ought to begin treating them as regular folks on account of how superior their AI is.’

And earlier than shifting on, he took a take a look at his Standing.

“Open Standing.”

‘It appears Physique reformation has additionally elevated the rank of my Spear Talent, which is odd.’

‘Was my physique limiting my very own Spear Abilities in any method?… This can be a bit too difficult for me to consider…’

“It is also a disgrace that there have been no trinkets within the Tutorial, solely primary armor and weapons may very well be acquired in there…”

When he spoke of trinkets, Dale meant issues like Rings, Earrings, Bracelets, Capes, and different ornamental objects that go into the Trinkets Slots.

One other time period they’re also known as within the gaming group is… Equipment.

There are a complete of seven slots for Equipment, 2 Rings, 2 Bracelets, 2 Earrings, and 1 collar/necklace, along with the traditional gear: Boots, Leg slot, Belt, Chest piece, Shoulders, Arms, Gloves, and a Helmet.

Not all can be utilized on the similar time although, some chest items can occupy the house for the Shoulders or the Belt, generally even each.

Different occasions, the gauntlets may block somebody from utilizing bracelets and so forth, and infrequently would somebody be capable of use all the slots on the similar time, every with completely different gear.

On that very same word, not all gear units used all the slots on the similar time, oftentimes not requiring all for use in any respect, essentially the most primary units usually embody a pair of trainers, gauntlets, a chest piece, and a helmet, along with a weapon, although the latter shouldn’t be vital most often.

At the least, that was the case for Commonplace gamers… Hardcore gamers weren’t restricted by gear slots, though it was to be seen if they may put on 5 rings on every hand…

And as Dale talked about earlier than about the opportunity of sporting a very good piece of material gear beneath a Chest Plate, one thing that is not doable for Commonplace gamers.

(Might be defined once more sooner or later, in truth, most of those traces had been taken instantly from a future chapter…)

As he considered this, he raised his head and seemed on the faint define of a village within the distance.

He smiled and made his method there… Till he stopped.

“Wait, if I’m going like this I am solely going to assemble much more suspicion… Aha!”

‘Fortunately I stored a few of these since promoting them would not give me shit…’

Dale took out a brown sack from his stock and strapped it round his spear, earlier than submitting it up with day-to-day gadgets.

“Excellent.”

Prepared completely, Dale went on his method… Till he stopped as soon as once more!

“Wait! I forgot to open my Beta Tester Field!”

So he shortly opened his stock, discovering the merchandise in query, a inexperienced field icon with a query mark within the center.

“A query mark huh… Makes me bear in mind these accursed loot bins… Oh properly, open for me, child!”

And as such, Dale smiled as a Inexperienced Field appeared within the air.

It seemed like a standard wrapped Christmas present.

/Crack…/

By urgent one thing within the air, Dale watched because the field parted open with loads of confetti!

[DING!]

…
