3 Game Start!
My schedule was fully packed this past year. As soon as I woke up in the early morning, I would immediately start working out and would last for at least 3 hours.
Afterwards, I would quickly take a bath then proceed to play 'Virtual Dawn Online', one of the most popular VR games in the market. In that game, I would hunt for strong monsters to improve by battle experience. I would then sell the unneeded loots and materials that I acquired which helped me gather a small sum of money.
I would spend my entire day playing the game with only a few breaks in between. I would only stop at 8 in the evening to eat my dinner.
After eating, I would spend my time relearning the Chinese Language. Although I know how to read and write thanks to the memories I received during the reincarnation, it still takes a few moments for me to use it as it was not my main language in my former life. What I did, is that, I gathered some books and read it to familiarize myself with the language.
I also studied regarding various subjects, and with the help of my Super Growth cheat, I quickly learned them all. I learned how to cook delicious food, how to hack computers and phones, how to play musical instruments, and many more. I learned all of this as a hobby because it's so fun learning things easily, unlike in my previous life, where my head always hurt after classes in school.
Anyways...
25th of April, 9 pm. God's Domain is now open.
Within the dark and silent room, a few glimmers of light flickered alive.
I laid on my bed, gently pushing the start button as I closed my eyes.
"God's Domain, here I come."
After pressing the button, I found myself travelling through a multicolored tunnel. 'It was like I was travelling with the use of the Bifrost.' Afterwards, I arrived at a solemn, golden temple. The walls of the temple are engraved with a lot of murals and runes making it look very majestic. I can see some drawings of various monsters as well as humans with various mysterious abilities. Some has the ability to control the elements, some has the ability to control monsters, some has the ability to cut mountains, and many more. The two groups were fighting against each other, showing an impressive sight.
As I was looking around, I noticed a palm sized female angel with four pairs of wings flying towards me. The angel looked very beautiful. Like what the authors from China say, 'A peerless beauty that was capable of toppling kingdoms'. I was amazed seeing this beauty. I wonder for how long the game designers spent their time maximizing the charm of this NPC.
[Hello Adventurer, welcome to God's Domain. I am the Navigation Angel, Gabriel. I will be introducing to you the four main categories and twelve main jobs. Please choose the job that you like most.]
With a wave of Gabriel's small hand, an illustration introducing the twelve main jobs appeared in front of me.
These twelve jobs were categorized into four main classes.
Warrior: Shield Warrior, Guardian Knight, Berserker.
Weapons Specialist: Swordsman, Assassin, Ranger.
Healer: Cleric, Druid, Oracle.
Mage: Elementalist, Summoner, Cursemancer.
I looked at the jobs available and considered their advantages. After a while of pondering, I decided to choose Berserker.
[Job selection complete. Please designate a name for your character.]
"Kirito"
[The name is already taken. Please choose another name]
"Nirvana Flame"
[The name is already taken. Please choose another name]
"Immortal"
[The name is already taken. Please choose another name]
"Zhan Yu"
[The name is already taken. Please choose another name]
"DarkNorth"
[Naming successful. Do you wish to adjust your appearance? Adjustment rate limited to 15%.]
Without hesitation, I agreed to adjust my character's appearance by 15% so that no one would be able to easily recognize me. I need to be careful as this was a story written by a Chinese author. I fully expect that there would be plenty of arrogant young masters that intend to use their authority in the real world to gain some benefits in the game. This way, my identity in the real world will be temporarily hidden.
[Please select a birthplace in the Star-Moon Kingdom.]
A map that displayed tens of cities belonging to the Star-Moon Kingdom appeared in front of me.
"White River City"
White River City was Star-Moon Kingdom's fifth ranked city. It was an important city in the north of Star-Moon Kingdom There were quite a few Workshops that chose to develop there to avoid the struggles between large Guilds.
Knowing the story, it is better for me to start here. I would like to befriend Shi Feng; this would allow me to gain some benefits early on the story.
[City confirmed. Player will arrive in Red Leaf Town of White River City in three seconds. We wish you happy gaming.]
My sight immediately blurred as I was sent away from the place.
Red Leaf Town, the buildings that were chaotically arranged there had a similar style to the medieval ages. NPCs filled the bustling streets, making me feel as if, besides travelling into another world, I've also travelled back in time.
'I did not think I would be placed in the same area as Shi Feng. Well. Lucky for me, I have some ideas of events that may happen in this area.'
I arrived at the front of a church, my new appearance resembling a poor warrior. Checking myself, I found myself wearing a gray Novice Leather Armor and found a Novice Longsword strapped on my back.
After inspecting myself, I waved my finger and a player's Attribute Panel appeared before me.

Inside my bag, there were ten pieces of Bread and ten pouches of Water. Eating the Bread would recover 10 HP per second while drinking Water will recover 10 MP per second, and both effects lasted ten seconds.
Each player could obtain 4 Free Attribute Points with each increase in Level. With each rise in Level, the different ways players used these points would result in their own unique style.
Strength increases Physical Attack Power and the weight behind each attack. Agility increases Attack Speed and Movement Speed. Endurance increases maximum HP and stamina. Intelligence increases Magical Attack Power and maximum MP and Vitality increases the recovery rate of MP and HP. Every Job places emphasis on different Attributes.
Without hesitation, I placed all the available attribute points into agility. According to the MC of the novel, this was the best choice in the early stages of the game. Additionally, as the saying goes, speed beats power. By being faster, I could deal more damage to my enemies.
After settling my stats, I looked around and observed the other players. At this moment, many players had started wandering around the town, speaking to NPCs in hopes of obtaining a trail for a Quest. There were also quite a few players that went out of the village, going out to the wilderness to kill monsters. Every one of them was carrying out their tasks as if their lives depended on it and they couldn't help but wish they could split their time in two.
Observing this, I decided to postpone hunting in the wild as it would surely be full of players trying to kill steal from each other. I quickly thought of what to do in the meantime. After a few seconds of thinking, I decided to wander all around the town and inspect the available opportunities in it.
