《Project Real=ty: Thrill Online》 Prologue Prologue Year 20XX, the advent of Virtual Age. The world has evolved and advanced the stagnant development of the old technology. Augmented reality and virtual world generating capsules, were one of the common trend amongst the people Almost a few years ago, this was just an unattainable dream of most people but now, it is a common sight for people to use this so-called headgears and capsules which substituted the famous phones and computers. Due to this changes in the modern trend of the society, the game developers were able to match the desires of people creating cutting-edge games based on augmented and virtual reality. Fighting, Shooter and RPG¡¯s took a very sharp curve on its game engine.This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. After a few decades later, hundreds of VR and AR games popped up and almost flooded the world-wide web. But there is a game that everyone knew of due to its unique features that no other competitors were able to match; that is the exchange of in-game currency to real currency and vice versa and the life-like actions of the NPC. That game was Thrill online. It is a very common sword and magic fantasy world in which a player can role-play as a strongest wizard, elusive assassin, a hero-like warrior or just humble farmer. The worlds was also very dynamic that a single player can influence every player. Thousands of players suddenly switched from other games to Thrill online due to its explosive popularity and its benefits. But that doesn¡¯t end there, its massive player count was due to one factor ¨C players view it as the second reality. Chapter One: Welcome to Thrill Online Do you know what a hunter fears? Mighty beasts? Nope. Dangerous game spots? Not either. What a hunter fears the most is when there¡¯s no more prey to hunt. With the progression of human society, laws that govern the protection of animals became tighter than ever. Moreover, most challenging preys are either on the endangered species list or they don¡¯t exist at all. Not that I discourage that notion, it¡¯s just I can¡¯t simply discard our long tradition. My grandfather is a well-known treasure hunter, my uncle was able to takedown the notorious terrorist group as a lone bounty hunter and my father, as a hunter, was able to kill a great white shark with only a speargun to his hand. But I, as the heir of the family, can¡¯t find any prey to prove myself as a part of the family of the hunters. I¡¯m already imagining myself as a disgrace to the family and to the future generation. *sigh* ¡°rk¡­¡± ¡°Hmmm??¡± ¡°Ark!! Why are spacing out in my class?! Go and answer the question on the board!¡± ¡°Yes, Ma¡¯am!!!¡± I yelped. ¡°Hey, why were you spacing out earlier? I don¡¯t ever remember you doing like that in class.¡± (???) ¡°I was just thinking of something.¡± (Ark) ¡°Oh. Oh. Oh. Let me guess. You were dumped by girl right? Why don¡¯t I give you an advice on how to get girls easily. Hm? Hm? Hmmm??¡± (???) ¡°Oh, shut up Mathias. I¡¯m not like you. And I¡¯m not dumped by a girl. Beside I¡¯m too shy to even talk to them?!¡± (Ark) *sigh* By the way, the one I¡¯m talking is Mathias. Son of the richest man in the country, a varsity player and a handsome guy. To make things short, an enemy of all common male students. Now I¡¯m contemplating. How the hell did I befriend this guy? ¡°Hey, you¡¯re spacing out again.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just trying to remember how the heck we became friends.¡± ¡°Oi!!¡± ¡°Just kidding.¡± Nope, I¡¯m not kidding I can¡¯t really remember. ¡°What did you say again?¡± ¡°I was talking about the famous game our whole class was talking about.¡±Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original. Oh, if I remember it was named ¡°Thrill Online¡±. It¡¯s been to 2 years since it first released in the public. ¡°What about that?¡± ¡°I was going to invite you to play with me this weekend.¡± ¡°Ah, I don¡¯t think I can go. Besides, I don¡¯t have a VR Machine Capsule.¡± ¡°I know you would bring this up. I already figure that problem out.¡± ¡°What? Are giving me a VR Machine Capsule? Not a c-¡° ¡°So, I¡¯m giving you VR Machine Capsule. I already mailed to your address earlier.¡± I know you are my friend (though I don¡¯t know how) and you¡¯re rich but please to don¡¯t spend money like that. It gives me a headache very time you do this so easily. *sigh* ¡°Did your father give you the permission to do this? As far as I remember, it is YOUR FATHER¡¯s MONEY!!¡± ¡°Nah, it¡¯s okay. He was the one who told me to give it to you.¡± AHHHHHH!!!! My mind is screaming. How can these two spend money like water? Oh, I remember now how I met this guy and befriend him. It was when I was hunting at the mountains that I encounter Mathias and his father. They were isolated from the group of hiker due to a landslide. Thankfully, I was able to guide them out the mountains after 4 days. ¡°So you did forgot didn¡¯t you.¡± ¡°Teehee¡± ¡°Don¡¯t ¡°Teehee¡± me?! Come back here you bastard?!¡± And soon as I arrive at home¡­ ¡°Ark! There is a delivery for you and its from your friend. I already open it up and fix it for you.¡± I don¡¯t really know if my Mom knows the word privacy but- ¡°Thanks Mom!!!¡± I hurriedly go upstairs to try the game. I may not look like it but I¡¯m a gamer. Well, it is my substitute hunting ground since there are no more in the real world. I started the machine and then magic happens¡­ Nah, just joking. I dive in the machine and started the program. [System requires you to scan your body] [Yes/No] ¡°I select [Yes]¡± [Scanning Complete] [The System requires you to set your username] ¡°My username will be [Venri].¡± [Venri has been selected as your username] [Now select your desired job class] Which will I get? Maybe I should check on the selection so I would not regret my choice later on.
Job Class: Squire Job Description: A job class precursor to melee combatant classes. Have high starting points on STR and STA while having low on INT and MND. Weapon Proficiency: Sword, Spear, Cudgel and Shield
Hmmm¡­ Squires would be good choice for most new players but I don¡¯t think my play style would coincide with it. Moreover, I don¡¯t like confronting enemies upfront. Let¡¯s proceed.
Job Class: Scholar Job Description: A job class precursor to magic and production based classes. Have high starting points on MND, DEX and INT while having low on STR and SPD. Weapon Proficiency: Staff and Wand
Job Class: Devotee Job Description: A job class precursor to holy based classes. Have high starting points on MND, STA and INT while having mediocre point on SPD, STR and DEX. Weapon Proficiency: Staff, Wand, Cudgel and Shield
Scholar and Devotee. Scholar job class maybe a good choice but the Devotee job class is bit of a bad on me since I play solo and doesn¡¯t really know how to support others which may be the class¡¯s good point. And lastly,
Job Class: Pathfinder Job Description: A job class precursor to ranged and speed type classes. Have high starting points on SPD and DEX while having low on other attributes. Weapon Proficiency: Bow, Dagger, Sword and Staff
Pathfinder job class is also a good choice for me even it¡¯s a bit low on attributes except [SPD] and [DEX]. Ok, I¡¯ve decided to pick. ¡°I select [Pathfinder].¡± [Character Configuration is done] [Welcome to Thrill Online] Chapter Two: The First Hunt [Welcome to the town of Ymir, the town of beginning] As soon as I open my eyes, the bustling town of Ymir registered in my field of view. I didn¡¯t expect that beginner town would be full of players. I can see them running to the east gate while some of them are busily chatting with their friends in the cafes. After gathering my mind, I started go to the nearest training hall. I heard that they give guidance to new players of what is the basics of the game. Training hall is divided in to 4 divisions namely [COLISEUM], [ACADEMY], [TABERNACLE] and [OBERSVATORY] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ¡°OKAY!!! I TAKE IT THAT YOU ARE THE NEW RECRUITS!! WHY ARE YOU RAISING YOUR HAND RECRUIT!!¡± ¡°Ummm¡­¡± ¡°SPEAK QUICKLY RECRUIT WE DON¡¯T HAVE ENOUGH TIME!!¡± ¡°Why am I the only one in here?¡± ¡°GOOD QUESTION!! THOSE DAMN ¡°TRAVELERS¡± DON¡¯T KNOW THE TRUE VALUE OF BEING A [PATHFINDER]. THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT STRONG ABILITY AND DON¡¯T CARE ABOUT FINESSE AND GRACE OF WHAT A [PATHFINDER] CAN BE!! ENOUGH OF THAT!! FIRST AND FOREMOST, LET ME KNOW YOUR DESIRED WEAPON TO MASTER!!¡±
[QUEST LOG UPDATED] CROSSROADS DIFFICULTY: F QUEST DETAILS: PICK TWO OF THE GIVEN CHOICES OF WEAPON YOU WANT TO TAKE AND MASTER.¡± SWORD BOW DAGGER STAFF QUEST REWARD: THE CHOOSEN WEAPON AND 4 SKILL
Oh, the awaited first quest is here!!A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation. ¡°I choose [BOW] and [DAGGER] as the weapon I want to master.¡± ¡°LOUDER!! I CAN¡¯T HEAR YOU!!¡± ¡°I CHOOSE THE [BOW] AND [DAGGER] TO MASTER, SIR.¡± ¡°VERY WELL!! COME AND I¡¯LL INTRODUCE YOU TO YOUR INSTRUCTOR!!¡± ¡°I thought you would be the one who¡¯ll teach me?¡± ¡°ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! OF COURSE NOT!! THIS LOUD PERSONALITY OF MINE IS A DEMERIT OF BEING A PATHFINDER!!¡± So you already know your own shortcomings huh? I know you¡¯re an NPC but FIXED YOUR CHARACTER YOUR LOUD-MOUTH GEEZER!!! *cough* ¡°WHY ARE SPACING OUT THERE?! COME QUICKLY AND FOLLOW ME!!¡± ¡°YES, SIR!!¡± After a couple minutes, that loud-mouthed old man halted his steps in front of a dilapidated dorm. And shouted. ¡°ZIRK!! COME OUT!! THERE IS SOMEONE I WANT YOU TO TEACH SKILLS!!¡± Then a good-looking middle age man appears at the door. TSK, handsome men should just die. ¡°WHAT?? Is that true, Master Gammel??¡± ¡°OF COURSE!! WHY WOULD I LIE WHEN THERE IS NO MERIT TO ME?? I¡¯LL ENTRUST YOU TO TEACH THIS BRAT THE BASICS AND SKILL TO BECOME A GOOD [PATHFINDER]!!¡± ¡°YES, SIR!! YOU CAN COUNT ON ME!!¡± ¡°GOOD. I¡¯LL BETTER GET BACK TO THE MAIN HALL. THERE ARE STILL SO MUCH WORK TO DO.¡± Finally, old man Gammel went back to the main hall. From the looks of it, it seems he is an official inside the training. Oh well, not that I care about it. Actually, it is good that he is finally gone. My ears still hurts from his loud voice. ¡°May I ask your name before we start? By the way, as you heard earlier, my name is Zirk.¡± ¡°Right, I Venri and a [PATHFINDER] that specializes in [BOW] and [DAGGER].¡± ¡°Nice to me you Venri. May I know if you have prior experience on how handle this weapons?¡± ¡°I have basic experience in handling this weapons.¡± Of course I have experience of handling bows and daggers. Our long tradition of hunting requires everyone one of our family to know how to handle weapons used in hunting and I specialize in using daggers. ¡°Good. Since you have the experience of handling these weapons, how about we have short duel?¡± Wow. A duel right on the bat. It is not like I dislike it instead I am very pleased with instructor Zirk¡¯s suggestion. Since this is inside a Virtual World, maybe I can polish one of my techniques in real combat. ¡°Sure.¡± ¡°Nice. Then I shall lay out the rules. First, we will only use [DAGGER] in the first match then [BOW] in the second match. Second, no skill use is permitted. And lastly, winner will be declared if the opponent reduce his HP until 10%. Do you any question¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s start.¡± [Duel will start in 10. 9. 8..] I ready my stance by crouching a little bit while equipped with dagger. [.. 4. 3. 2.] I clear any useless thoughts in mind and started to analyse my instructor, no, he is now my prey. Instructor Zirk is equipped with a leather set of equipment which emphasizes on speed and a beginner dagger to make our odds even. [2.. 1.. Duel Start] Let the hunt begin¡­ Chapter Three: Duel of the Fittest I immediately back step to create bit of distance from instructor Zirk. This is to widen my field of vision to anticipate his movement. Suddenly, instructor Zirk shorten the gap by a short dash and thrust his dagger in my chest. I know my instructor Zirk has higher speed than mine but I didn¡¯t expect it to be very fast. I can¡¯t even barely dodged it. As expected of an instructor in this training hall. He is much stronger and faster than any prey I have encountered. ¡°A hunter must always respect the prowess of his prey and never underestimate its capability, huh.¡± I mumbled. ¡°What¡¯s wrong Venri? Getting cold feet?¡± Instructor Zirk mocked. ¡°Of course not. I was just admiring how this fight will go on from now on.¡± I reply. ¡°Good. Now, here I go.¡± Just like before, he instantly dash like an arrow into my direction but I can see you clearly now. ¡°Mimicry No. 48: Sidewinder¡± The family of hunters, Jaegers, have a strange philosophy that, ¡°Humans are just compilation of different species of fauna but are just hidden deep among their various talents¡±. To uncover this hidden talent of humans, the first hunter of Jaeger family observed and mimicked the behaviour and talents of every animals and insects he found along the way. It is then passed down to the heir of the family and expanded the discovery but not one of the past heirs was able to mimic completely the discovery of the first hunter. Well, no one except Ark. He was able to tap the essence of the animal kingdom and brought to it increase his hunting prowess. Too bad he was born in this era. Zirk¡¯s POV ¡°What?!¡± I exclaimed. There is a not one but three wounds in my body after that encounter. I did never dream that this beginner was be able to wound me. Maybe I did really underestimate him just because his just a kid and on top of that he is just a beginner. But then when I looked at his eyes, a chilling presence bit my soul. I, Zirk the Slayer, felt fear to this kid?This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. ¡°This is great, Venri!! I never would have thought you can wound me not only once but thrice and on top to that, consecutively. I never have an enemy that was able to achieve this feat.¡± I yelled at Venri with exhilaration. ¡°You praise me so much. ¡° I replied while laughing lightly. How long did passed when I am excited with a duel? Well, whatever. I¡¯ll go all out now. This statement really embarrass me that I call myself a legendary. I can¡¯t even gauge my opponent¡¯s prowess in a single glance. I should abdicate my position as a legendary after I teach this kid all the skills I know. And maybe go to a journey to retrain myself. _____________________________________________________________________________________ ¡°Mimicry No. 34: Wolf Spider¡± Just how it sounds, mimicking wolf spider is just a simple dash and stab action at a glance. Unknown to others, mimicking a wolf spider is very dangerous to body due to excessive muscle workout. It is not surprising that it may tore apart your muscle fibers and ligament upon mimicry. Good thing this is Virtual World, it would be able to use my techniques without obstruction. ¡°This is really exciting!!¡± Instructor Zirk exclaimed. ¡°Here, take this!! Ora ora ora ora!!.¡± Instructor Zirk aggressively lunge at me. Instructor Zirk is getting stronger and stronger as duel goes on. If I prolong this duel any longer, it may spell mu defeat. ¡°I think it¡¯s time to end this duel.¡± I mumbled. ¡°Your attacks are becoming sloppy. Are you tired? Then, stand still and received this!!¡± instructor Zirk yelled as he cross-slash and turn his dagger thrust it to my chest. But sorry, Instructor Zirk. It is my win. ¡°Mimicry No. 46: Boa Constrictor.¡± I grabbed this protruding arm that was used to stab me. I circle around his back while holding his arm and lock it on his back. And mimicking a boa, I tangled his body with mine to stopped him from moving and constricting his whole body. ¡°Mimicry No. 31: Black widow.¡± Similar to a prey captured in a web, I struck his neck with dagger copying the spider¡¯s bite to end its prey. [System: Duel end.] [You win.] I loosen and withdraw my dagger from my instructor¡¯s neck. Then, I bow to my instructor to show respect. ¡°Thank you for the duel!!¡± ¡°It is nothing. It was for me to know your strengths and weakness. I never thought you were much stronger.¡± Instructor Zirk praised me. ¡°It was just luck sir.¡± I humble myself. Of course, it was just luck. There were many problems when I was executing my techniques. One of it was my low stats. When I was executing the techniques earlier there some dissonance and now I figured that it was due to my beginner stats. I maybe have high SPD but it was not enough to completely execute it. I guess I needed to level up and increase my stats. ¡°Well, let¡¯s leave as that. We still have to see your excellence in [BOW]. Are you ready?¡± Oh, yeah. I forgot about the bow. I was to absorbed in the duel earlier. ¡°I¡¯m ready sir!!¡± I replied excitedly. Chapter Four Chapter Four: After the tutorial, I immediately ventured to the beginner hunting grounds just outside the east gate of Ymir. Oh, I also learned the status board during the tutorial. And here¡¯s my status right now.

Title: NewbieYou could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. One who overcomes legend
Dagger and Bow Proficiency, as the name of skill suggest, are weapon augment skills that increases the stats of daggers and bows when equipped. As for my titles, I understand the ¡°Newbie¡± title but the ¡°One who overcomes legend¡± title is a bit strange. According to the tutorial, titles can only be used when you reached level 30 of either job class or racial level. Oh well, time to hunt some beginner monsters. Awesome News Thread #34

It was unbelievable!!! 342: Silkroad Who defeated one of the instructors? My best bet is one of the rankers. 343: Arkwright I don¡¯t think so. One of my guildmate is a ranker. They are too busy strengthening for the upcoming Gladiator¡¯s Fest. 344: Kuro That¡¯s right. I forgot about it. Then who managed to defeat one of the instructors that rankers have never won? 345: Guy I know you won¡¯t believe me but he is a newbie. 346: Arkwright Outrageous!!! 347: Guy I know but it is true.
