"Okay. The instations are now over. All system are good and connected as well. The capsule is now ready to use." – said the man with UTO written on his back.
"If somethinges up, please contact us." – said the other man also wearing UTO written on his back.
"Yea. I got it. Thanks." – said the man with the scar across his forehead.
The pair of men left the apartment after delivery a capsule like device to the man.
"Now then. Let see what we have here."
It''s was the year 2039 and the era of games had just begun.
Computer games. Board games. Mobile games. Card games.
Chess. Poker. Rock Paper Scissors. Hide and Seek. FPS. RPG.
Survivals. Explorations. MMO. Trading Card Game.
And the list go on and on.
Pretty much there exists countless games in the existence. And pretty much everybody can find the game they enjoy.
However, game is a game in the end.
BUT!
What do you think if you could go INTO the game world itself? A REAL WORLD OF THE GAME?
Introducing: VRDS (Virtual Reality Dimension System).
This is special type of device allows you to dive right into the world of the game itself.
The device that is mostly produced is [VRD Capsule] or just called capsule.
This device allows you enter the world of the game.
It exist in two different forms.
The private form, where you can order your own capsule to be installed in your home, or the center capsule where you go to the game center where you can rent a capsule and y there.
The device alsoes in the special model simr to the VR headset, but it requires and a special device called [Home VRDS Device].
The difference in models doesn''t affect the gamey at all, but the capsule allows you to y without the worry about the real world while the headset makes it easy for you to y in small rooms. So, both of the capsule and headset have their own benefits and downsides.
Anyway, I think it''s time we stop talking about them and instead talk about their fiction: The game dive.
When activated it will transport the consciousness and mind of the user into virtual reality, just like in novels andics. You will be a being of that world. You can feel and express your emotions. Eat and feel pain! Just like in real life!
Not only that, but thepany that developed this headgear also developed the first ever game that uses is and it''s called "Unwritten Tale Online" or UTO.
With the appearance of the VRDS and UTO, the world of the games ended up entering a new era.
The era of the real world games.
(A thing straight out of fantasy huh? Well, they are not wrong. You only hear about world where you enter the game itself in novels orics… But to think that some childish dream became reality and humans can enter now the world of the games?)
"…"
"Honestly, I have to ept the reality, since right in front of me is a literally a device that can put me into the world of game… So, it''s not like I can deny it or anything."
".."
"So, I put this thing here and connect this cable to theputer."
"Setting up. Logging in on the ount on theputer. Register the device."
"And done."
"If the light on the on the side near the open button is blue. That means its ready to use."
Blue light.
"Okay, that seems so be the case. So, let''s jump in."
The young man opened the capsule like device and entered it. After setting few things inside of it he then manid downfortable and pressed a button.
Upon pressing the button, all of his senses felt weird and unknown change. The man could not feel nothing for the moment before he could feel changes suddenly happening all around him and inside of him.
"WOW!"
"Shit! That took me by surprise."
"It felt really freaking weird, but I think it worked?" – said the man after looking around.
(I mean it did worked. I''m literally not in my room anymore but this weird space.)
"?!"
(Holy shit?! What the fuck is with my body?! I look like some digitals thing?!)
"Is this… Normal?"
(But the weird thing is that I feel everything just like in real life. They weren''t kidding one bit…. That is a bit scary in a way….)
(I can also move my body pretty much without problem, even though I was just in capsule just moment ago.)
(I''m trying to move my hands and arms where the capsule walls were but I can''t touch anything.)
(Honestly, it''s quite cool but also bit creepy when you think about it. So, I literally disconnected from real world and connected to this world? What would happened if somebody did something to me in real life while I''m ying? Would I even feel anything?)
(…)
(This is… Safe? Right?)
"…"
"Em… Let''s just ignore that for now and y…"

"Hm? Something appeared."
"Log in huh? Okay."
The man begin typing something on the floating keyboard in front of him.
[Login sessful.]
[Login into the chosen game: Unwritten Tale Online.]
Suddenly the entire space around the man changed into a grassnd.
"Wow."
While the man was looking around, a floating giant board appeared in front of him.
[Wee to the Unwritten Tale Online.]
[New ount detected.]
[Do you wish to create your new character?]
"Yea."
[The main aspect of the Unwritten Tale Online is the freedom. There is no main quest or specific path. You haveplete freedom. You can create your character in any way you want. You can help people or kill them. You can be a hero or a viin.
You can be lord of the territory that protect their people or a bandit that plunders others for your greed and enjoyment. The choices are infinity and they are all yours to make!]
[To begin character creation process, please press "Start" button.]
Man pressed the button on the floating board.
[Well then, shall we start?]
[Beginning character creation.]
[The character creation is divided into 3 different phases.]
[1- [The body.]
[2 - [The ability.]
[3 - [Creation.]
[1- [The body.]
[The body phase about creating your avatar, the you of this new world.]
[It is not only about the appearance, but it''s also your race.]
[Each race has their own benefits and downsides. Some races even possess sub race. So please be careful when making your character.]
[Not only do some races possess sub races, they can also influence your starting location.]
[2 - [The ability.]
[In UTO, the mostmon way of getting the skills is via sses.]
[When acquiring or growing the sses, you will be able to obtain some skills.]
[There are other means of getting skills, such as [Special Skills] that you can get by nonstandard means or [Item Skills], a skills that item possess. But we won''t bother about them for now and leave information on them in the tutorial menu if you are eager to learn more.]
[But for now, we shall talk about sses.]
[In UTO, there exists sses. Many different type of sses. Some are aboutbat, while some are about something else like cksmithing or just farming. Each skill can give you skills that may each possess their own specialty or effect(s).]
[In UTO, the yers can possess multiple sses.]
[So, how do you get a ss in the first ce? Well, you use a special resource called [ss Points].]
[When ying the game, the yers wille in possession of the special resource called [ss Points].]
[What are these ss points used for? Well, for acquiring sses and growing them.]
[By using specific amount of ss points, you are able to acquire ss.]
[Each ss consume different number of points.]
[sses can be obtained by various means.]
[First are normal sses, the sses you can pick and learn whenever you want.]
[The second are evolved sses. Some sses can evolve when specific conditions are meet, for example reach this ss max level or something.]
[The third type of ss are conditions sses. Theses sses you need to fulfil specific conditions, for example do this or do that, but you will probably encounter the mostmon type of sses where you have to get 2 or more different sses at the specific level to unlock a ss.]
[The fourth type of ss are nonstandard sses. This sses can be acquired by not normal means, such as items or quests or maybe some sort of trials.]
[Anyway, now we should talk about 2 important things about sses.]
[The first are skills you can get from each sses.]
[Each sses provide their own skills; some skills may provide their own unique skills or may influence other skills. Some skills can have passive or active effects.]
[The number of skills each ss provide depends on the ss itself.]
[So, now you are wondering, how to raise a ss level?]
[Well, most of the time you will have to feed the ss with you [ss Points]. However, some sses may posses'' conditions to raise their levels.]
[For example, you first need to raise to the specific character level or maybe you need to level up specific skills to the specific level.]
[Each time the ss levels up, it will provide you with either new ss or an upgrade to the current ss you own.]
[sses can also provide the user with the skills, but it doesn''t always happened per level. Sometimes sses only provide very few skills, but if the ss doesn''t provide a skill, it will instead boost one of the skills in your possession rted to the ss, meaning if you didn''t get skill, instead one of your skills would get powered up.]
[What kind of power up? This:
-The skill will gain (+1). This thing will boost the sses performance in different ways depending on the skill. Not only that, but the skill can get this upgrade several times, meaning it can be (+2) or (+10). The upgrade effect varies from skill to skill.
Some may have same effect when the ss levels up or maybe has a different upgrade effect or maybe upgrades the skill like the level up AND provide additional effect.]
[The max level that each ss can posses depends on the ss in question.]
[Sometimes the ss can have 100 levels but will have only cost of 1 ss point to level up or there may be a ss that have max level of 10, but needs 10 ss points to even level up once.]
[Well, to raise a ss level you need to level up its skills. How do you do it? Simple put there are 3 ways.]
[1 – Use the skill in question.]
[2 – Do the action rted to the skill. For example, sword rted skill will receive EXP whenever you use your sword.]
[3 – Use skill that belongs to the same ss or ss rted.]
[You need to remember, just having a lot of skills doesn''t make you stronger. Sometimes skills with level 2 or 3 can be stronger than 10 level 1 skills. So please be carefully when you are making your character build and took that fact in consideration.]
[One more thing about the sses.]
[Anyway, here are a bit more info about sses. Some sses can possess a rarity such as [Common] or [Rare]. These sses can often show how strong the ss can be or how hard it''s to get one. But please remember, that high rarity ss doesn''t mean better, if it doesn''t fit 1 bit to your current build, so be careful.]
[The third part is creation.]
[This part is quite simple.]
[It''s an exnation.]
[So just allow me to exin.]
[But before that, here are some info about [Stats].]
[Main stats]
[HP: 110/110]
[Health: 11] [The stat that represent character life. If it reaches 0, then the character dies.]
[MP: 110/110]
[Mana: 11] [A resource type energy that is often used by many things. This source of energy is very often used by the skills, meaning you need it to activate them.]
[SP: 110/110]
[Stamina: 11] [Stamina is necessary when doing physical activities. Some skills may require use stamina as a resource.]
[Strength: 6] [The stat that influences the physical strength. Can influence performance of some weapons by making them more powerful. The higher the stat is, the heavier equipment you can equip.]
[Agility: 6] [The stats that influences the attack speed and speed. Can influence performance of some weapons by making them faster and deadlier.]
[Intelligent:6] [The stat that influences the performance of the spells and some skills.]
[Vitality: 6] [The stat that influences the defense and amount of damage blocked.]
[The shown stats are called "Base Stats". This stats are stats that everybody has.]
[However there also exist "Extra Stats" that can be acquired by various means and they provide special bonuses.]
[Whenever the yers levels up, they will receive:
-5 ss point.
-10 stat points.
-+1 to all stats.]
[After reaching level 100, all the rewards you would get from now one would increase by:
-Bonus 2 ss point.
-Bonus 2 stat points.
-Bonus 0.5 to all stats.]
[That bonus would be applies over and over again after every 100th level.]
[You probably realized this and yes, this is the [Cration] phase.]
[Your skills and overall abilities are heavily influenced by your stats.]
[With enough [Strength] you can lift and swing a giant sword with ease while with high enough [Intelligent], the power of your spells would end up getting huge boost.]
[Each point of stat matters when ites to creating your build and please be wary of that. You may get some sort of OP ss in the future, but if your stats build doesn''t match, then the performance of that ss may end up getting weaker. On the other hand, if you get and ss that fit your current stats, it performance may be way better than the OP ss performance.]
[So not only be wary of what sses you pick, but also the fact that your stats influence performance of your sses.]
[Well then. This is all.]
[But not quite.]
[Stat, skills, race.]
[There is one more important thing.]
[Tittles A.K.A achievements (But most of the times they will be referred as titles.)]
[Tittles are something like a story.]
[Your own actions will write your tale and you will leave the evidence behind both on yourself and this world.]
[Be it small or big action, if there is enough impact, the title will be generated ording to your deed.]
[Unlike sses or items, titles have a different ranking system.]
[There is nomon, rare or legendary, but instead:
E, D, C, B and so on. You get the picture.]
[Depending on how big of an impact you make on yourself, your story or this world if not all 3bined, the stronger the title will be and the stronger effect it will be.]
[So, write your own story with your own hands and your actions and see what you have written.]
[So, this all stuff we talked about.]n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
[Now then, let me give you onest piece of information.]
[Writing and freedom.]
[You are free to whatever you want to do.]
[Write your own story the way you want!]
[Be the hero who defends the weak or be the wicked viins who brings harms.]
[Be the king who led their people or just a bandit that steals from others.]
[It''s your own tale to write!]
[Evil? Good? Screw it! You decide!]
[Be free!]
[So have fun or not, it''s your choice.]
[Now with that is over, I say "Wee" and enjoy yourself.]
"…."
"Huh…. Honestly it was bit long… But they mentioned a lot of very important stuff and details… There were even pictures and short videos showing things."
(Well, there was a lot of info, but pretty much everything seem very important, so I''m not exactlyining.)
[Do you wish to start the character creation or do you wish to look through the information bit more?]
"Nope. Let''s start creation."
[Character creation will start.]
[You are allowed to take any of 3 steps in any order you want.]
[You starting with 110 stat points and 55 ss points.]
"Hm… Let''s go with sses."
[Tamer] [Water Mage] [Warrior] [Swordman] [Archer] ….
(Wow… The list just stenches on and on.)
(And this is probably only a bit of the sses you can get in the game.)
(Just how many sses did they put in this game in the first ce?!)
(Still, is there anything interesting in here?)
(…)
(Hm… I think I will go with mage….!)
[Poison Mage] – [Level: 0/100] – [ss Point cost per level: 2]
(Oh! Poison? I really like using characters in games that do damage over time like poison or setting enemies on fire.)
(It''s very tempting.)
(But only 2 points?)
(…)
(The max level is 100 and its only beginner ss… So, I would need to put 200 points to reach max level. 200 / 5 is 40. So, I would need 40 levels to reach that ss max level, if I were to put all points into poison magic.)
(So does that mean I have to put all of the points into it?)
"Ah screw it."
(Lets go with poison, but its better if I pick 1 more ss.)
"…"
(Hm…. There isn''t-)
"Wait."
(Alchemist and cksmith?)
(Hm… Maybe getting a ss that makes items will be pretty interesting?)
[Alchemist] – [Level: 0/100] – [ss Point cost per level: 1]
[cksmith] – [Level: 0/100] – [ss Point cost per level: 1]
(Not only that, alchemy and poison? Doesn''t that sound as interestingbo?)
(Okay. Let''s go with those two!)
[You have invested ss points into [Beginner Alchemist].]
[You are unable to put any more points into [Beginner Alchemist].]
"???"
[To unlock ability to raise [Alchemist] level, please level up skill [Alchemy].]
"Oh… So, there is a catch…. I should have seen thating considering how cheap of the cost the ss has…."
(Hm… Then should I spend points on the third ss?)
(…)
(Nah. Let''s just spend all points into poison magic.)
[ss: [Poison Mage]-[LVL:22/100] [Alchemist]-[LVL10/100] ]
[Unspent ss points: 1]
[Do you wish to finish this phase?]
"Well, I think so. I mean I literally did all I could."
(Now… What should I pick for my race?)
[Human] [Elf] [Dwarf] [Lizardman] [Orc] [Goblin] [Beastman]…
(Wow… There is also shit tons of races… Some of them also have sub races….)
(Hm… I don''t want human… Seem too in?)
(…?)
(Demon folk? A humanoid demon… Huh…. Seem interesting?)
