《Dragonscape Online [VRMMORPG]》 Chapter 1: Edens Floor "Did you really think that I would want to marry a buffoon like you?" "I just wanted to take everything you own" "Now that I have it, you can go die" Welcome to Eden¡¯s Floor! ''Ugh...What happened?'' Hello traveller, you are the 5,995,780,407th Billionth person to join us. "Wait what? I''m in here..."The man sighed powerlessly as he found himself on a glass circular platform floating in space. This was his personal room. A platform floating alone in space, it can be customised however he wants and nobody else can enter unless you invite them in. The man examined the empty platform before scrunching his eyebrows. "It shouldn''t be this desolate, where is all my premium membership items?" "E, Open up systems interface"
Name: Peter Wes Age: 32 Civilian
E Coins: 0 E Meter48/1000 Friends List: 431 Return Home
"This isn''t me? Where is all my E Coins?" The man was stunned to see that he was completely broke, but that wasn''t the worse part. "I''m in somebody else¡¯s Avatar?" The man was completely confused as the name shown on the system interface wasn''t his own. The only thing that matched was his and the avatars age were the same. "E, open up the communication channel" Syncing host to Eden¡¯s Floorcommunication channel, initiating... initiating success! The manwasn''t too surprised to see a holographic screen come before him, but he was surprised to see countless news station all replaying the same thing. George Wood is dead. ''I''m right here... What is happening?''He decided to click on one of the news stations live report. "George Wood, CEO of Alias has unexpectedly died the day after his wedding, the results of his death are still unclear and... Hold on guys, I just received a statement from the newly widowed wife of George Wood" The reporter said while pressing into an earpiece to listen carefully. "Right now, we will play the voice recordings of Michelle Jean... I mean Michelle Woods" The reporter corrected with an embarrassed expression. "Citizens of Eden¡¯s Floor, a man had died. This man was a man of great power and changes. The one to spearhead the plan to save Earth. As you know, the earth is now uninhabitable, and unless you have a secured location, you will not survive in the outside world. My husband was sick due to the toxic air in the Earth and had died before he could upload his consciousness into Eden¡¯s Floor. It''s a bad day for Alias as not only had George Wood died, his parents died to the same sickness. So, as the last remaining member of the Wood Family, I will take over the Company in my husband stead, this is what he would had wanted. I am also taking his spot as the Game Master, don''t fret, I will not abuse this authority of power and will do my best to better all the living conditions of civilian in Eden¡¯s Floor." A sweet sounding voice echoed throughout the holographic screen and into all viewers ears. "Well, there you have it folks, a statement from the one and only, Michelle Wood who is famously known as the extremely beautiful, sweet, kind and caring angel of mankind. This is someone who has lead charge to many charity events back when the Earth was still habitable. So, you can feel relieved that the responsibilities of Game Master will be in safe hands" The reporter said "BULLSHIT! You two-faced bitch!" The man quickly shut down the news feed angrily. He tried to concentrate his mind to remembering some vital details, but it was just a blur. All he knew was that he was betrayed by his wife, and that he had lost everything that used to belong to him. Being a Game Master was basically being God. There was to be only 100 Game Masters in Eden¡¯s Floor at a time, each Game Master can only manage the world they create, and althoughGame Masterscan visit someone else¡¯s world, they have no power inside, but in return, that worldsGame Master can''t kill the visiting Game Masters even if they wanted to. Michelle Woods the only Woods left alive took one100 Game Master role. Now she can create or destroy a whole world with a flick of a finger, so they basically rule over all civilians lives inside Eden¡¯s Floor. What was Eden¡¯s Floor? It was the first plan to save humanity. The worlds leader pooled in every resource to create this beautiful work of art. A machine transcending every invention known to mankind. It has almost unlimited space and can hold innumerable amount of consciousness. After the Earth atmosphere became toxic, the climate turned for the worse with natural resources such as oil running out, so humanity was losing hope. But then, Eden¡¯s Floor turned out to be a massive success,which made everyone leave behind their real body to join the network. The second plan to save Earth was Alias responsibility. Since no one can stay on Earth to help maintain and clean it up. Alias was the leading company in producing Androids. They created hundreds of thousands of Androids to help clean up the Earth after everyone has entered Eden¡¯s Floor. This cleaning plan was estimated to take around 300 years. After 300 years, people would now be able to go offline and back into the real world when the Earth was safe to inhabit again. But by then, everyone¡¯s body would had already been destroyed. So instead of leaving the bodies to rot on the streets, the Androids were also programmed to use dead bodies as soil. Only rich people could freeze their real body to keep it fresh, soonce300 years past, they canreturn back into their real bodies. This lead to plan three. The Kingston Family Business deals in clones. They promised that after 300 years, they can create real life fleshly clones for civilians to inhabit. But the catch was that the clones were to be sold via E Coins, this caused many people to feel pressured,which caused a flurry of people crazily trying to earn wealth in all different sorts of ways. "Peter Wes, what the fuck took you so long?" "Peter, it¡¯s good to have you join the party man" "Peter, don''t let me see you, or else I''ll kill you!"The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. "You need to come, we need help!" George was dumbfounded when he saw his inbox screen blowing up. These were messages for the real Peter Wes who he supposedly took over. He didn''t know what happened to the real Peter Wes, and quite frankly, he was feeling a little scared. When you first upload your consciousness, the system automatically adds people that you know to your friends list. He saw that the friends list are all people that Peter knew. This was until he found an odd email. He opened the email due to his real name being used. For George I know that you are confused, but just know that I am out there looking out for you. Nobody knows that you are alive, and I think it would be best to keep it that way, please live on until 300 years pass, I want to see you in the flesh again, I''m working hard on keeping your dead body safe. Please do not contact anyone you use to know, you can''t trust anyone, not even me. So please keep your real identity a secret and pretend to be Peter Wes. Love J.K No matter how many times he tried to reply, there was no replying address, it was like the person who sent the message was a ghost. J.K? He thought hard and long about who that could be. But his memories kept playing up. In fact, he felt a huge chunk of memory had been ripped out of his head, he wasn''t sure if it was because he was placed inside somebody else¡¯s avatar. "E, please open up the wardrobe" He had only panicked for a small moment before calming down as he knew that panicking would get him nowhere. At your command traveller- initiating wardrobe function, beep beep beep, function activated! A giant wooden wardrobe appeared out of thin air, but he didn''t seem too surprised. Back on Earth, he was given knowledge of all the basic functions in Eden¡¯s Floor. He was also given a Game Master key, but that key had landed into the arms of his murderer, and although he was confused as to how his consciousness uploaded into the network, he wanted to know what he looks like. He opened the wardrobe and saw that a mirror inside the inner hinge. Looking at the reflection, he didn''t notice it before but he found that he was completely naked. He slowly held up his hands and touched himself. He grabbed his face and massaged it. He was weirded out at first but decided to continue exploring. He had dark green eyes, it was sharp and intimidating, in contrast to his real body, which had soft blue dreamy eyes. It was too big of a difference. He had a long-bridged nose, dark thick eyebrows. His jaw seemed to be personally chiselled by the gods. He was impressed, and almost drooled before rubbing his fingers through his scruffy beard, and then his hair. His dark brown hair was messy on top, with the sides cut short. His body was extremely ripped like a professional athlete. He ran his fingers down the hard surface of his muscular hairy chest. Then he ran his fingers downwhat seemed like a yakuza styled tattoo of a black dragon. Which could be seen running down his right shoulder, through his torso, and towards his right waist. He ran his hands down towards his penis and gripped it. Thepenis of this body was at least twice as big as his old one. He felt that this was the only thing good that came out of this sad situation. He found that he was powerless inside this system. He had to wait 300 years until he can return to the real world because if he gets found out before then. Michelle Woods who is a Game Master can easily erase his consciousness in a blink of an eye. From now on, he wasn''t George Woods. He was now going to live as Peter Wes. "Peter Wes, Peter Wes, I am now Peter Wes" He was repeating the name over and over as to remember what to call himself. The only clothes inside the wardrobe were a few free choices, as for more better styles of clothing¡¯s cost E-Coin. He chose to wear a normal white shirt with blue jeans and chose to wear one a normal pair of black shoes. He then chose to delete all his currentfriends on his friend list,and all the inbox messages he had gotten beside the mysterious J.K person as he didn''t know any of these people. They were all acquaintances of the real Peter Wes, and he would probably be found out if he met or talked to any of them. There was another headache for ''Peter''when he rememberedthe E Meter in his interface, 48/1000. This was something that he had no choice over, as someone who was only part of plan two, and not plan one, the creation of Eden''s Floor. The creators thought that it was a good idea to initiate this bullshit function. Every hour, the E Meter lose one point. and once the E Meter goes down to 0, your consciousness disappears, and you are permanently dead. To refill your E Meter, you need to pay E coins, to which he had none. The return home function makes him teleport directly to this place, which is not much of a home to begin with. A platform floating in space. He sighed in loneliness, but with a wave of his hands, he made the wardrobe disappear. "E, how many worlds are there" There are approximately 209 worlds Would you like to see? Yes/No? "Yes" At your command traveller, initiating world viewing sequences, beep beep beep, functionactivated! In the endlessdarkspace above him,giant worlds as big as the sun appeared before him. Some worlds were hundreds of times bigger then Earth. In the sky, all 209 worlds appeared in front of him. He then focused his attention on one of them. A world dozens of times bigger than Earth, the land was brown and green with huge body covering almost three-third of the world. There was also a plot of black dark land, shrouded in black thunderous clouds. Ocean Horizon Online A world of piracy and adventure, join this world to find mystical treasures of the deep ocean, kill sea monsters, capture pirates, join the revolution or become a pirate. Anything is possible here. He then turned towards a normal looking planet, one that replicates Earth. Earth 2.0 Do you miss Earth? Now you can visit whenever you want, this is a 100% Real Earth Simulation where everything is completely realistic. He didn''t know why, but the planet beside Earth 2.0 was the most beautiful planet in his opinion. It was a planet filled with vast blue seas, green and brown land with innumerable amount of colossal like mountains. White soft clouds surround the mountains like awhite creamy donut.But on the other side of the planet, was dark. Instead of mountains, there were volcanic and thunderous clouds, two halves of each world meet. Both the light element and the dark element clashed together like a civil war. He could see gods fighting in the sky between two factions. But this wasn''t the beauty that he was thinking about, instead, his eyes stared at a huge muscular man holding onto the planet while kneeling on one leg in space. This muscular, naked titan was carrying the Earth above his shoulders as if he were carrying a burden for all eternity. This was the man from the Greek Mythology, Atlas. Mt Olympus Online Join in the fight between Greek Mythologist, between good and evil, heaven and hell. Choose a side and journey the seven seas. Fight with honour and glory, grow with power and strength as becoming the next God is not impossible. Peter looked through all the planets and frowned because he realised he lost one points in his E Meter, he now only has 47 points left. Which meant he had 47 hours left to live. It is commonly known that when a citizen joins people first join the network, they are giving 1000 E Meter points. But people who had committed crimes are deducted points upon entry. He could only imagine, what the original Peter did to be left with only 48 E Meter points. He needed to choose a world quickly and make money to refill the meter. But before he could decide, his wrist blinked repeatedly. This was the communication function which he just downloaded. The blinking light meant he got a message. ''Didn''t I already delete everyone? Wait...'' He tapped his wrist to open the holographic screen, then clicked on the new message he had received. Urgent! I couldn''t protect your real body, somebody took a hold of it. What more is that they are going to use your body as a prize in a game as a joke. If you want your old body, join the new world that¡¯s about to be created and win it back. But please be safe. Sorry, J.K It was J.K again... ''New world? What new wor...'' Peter was dumbfounded as he saw a bright sun appeared out of thin air. He saw a planet being created out of nothing, the earth formed around the suns core, then water and plants, life, buildings, people. He then opened the news feed again and saw many reports saying the same thing. The CEO of Benjamin Technology, a Game Master Key Holder. Brock Benjamin announced the creation of his new world, Dragonscape Online. He also announced that the person who defeats the final boss will be crowned winner, and will be rewarded a spare frozen ownerless body, that''s to be used 300 years later when the Earth is habitable again. Peter, stared at this news with anger because this man was once his friend, but now this friend was going to shamelessly give away his body as a prize of a game. He stared up into the sky and eyes the newly created world. He was shocked to see a massive golden dragon appeared so suddenly, its wing span almost quadrupled the size of the planet. The dragons red eyes stare at him menacingly as if it was daring Peter to join his world. "E, send me to Dragonscape Online" At your command Peter Wes, initiating teleportation sequence, beep beep beep, world chosen ''Dragonscape Online'' Death inside Dragonscape Online will result in the loss of all E Coins and loots found. Do you still wish to be sent here? "Yes, E, I''m completely sure" Initiating success! Teleporting to Dragonscape Online (Newbie Village) Chapter 2: Welcome to Dragonscape Online
Welcome! Before moving on to the next stage, please proceed with the creating your character.
A bright cheerful robotic voicereverberatedinto his mind, and at the same time, a holographic screen appeared into his field of perception, sending a message of instructions. Peter then found himself walking inside an endless white space. No other objects or colour could be seen, everything was just blaring white.The man was just standing there, tapping his foot impatiently for things to come as he had limited time left alive.
Character Creation Name Gender Race Appearance
"Hmmmmm" Peter mused carefully before firmly determining the decisions of his choice. His character selection was basic, his name was ''Peter Wes'' and as for everything else, ''Gender, Race and Appearances,'' they also didn''t change. He still wanted to be human, no matter if the world was fantasy or not. He needed to be reminded that he was a real human. And playing as a different race will mess up his own sense of reality. For example; imagine playing an Orc for god knows how many years, then suddenly, you return to your real body... What would happen? Peter didn''t know how long it will take to finish this game, but it shouldtake many years since the final boss is a dragon. Peter hoped that it wasn''t the dragon he saw before entering the world as that dragon looked very intimidating, not only was it very large, but its eyes were filled with malice and contempt, as if it could easily devour anyone in sight, or even devour the whole world. All he cared about is the game''s legitimacy. There must be a viable way to become the champion, he was hoping that the Game Master would not create an impossible game that was designed to never have a winner.
Welcome to Dragonscape Online The goal of this game is to find a suitable host for a particular body. Keep in mind, only one person shall be the final winner. Dragonscape Online sets inside a world called Eos, a world with plenty of war and chaos. Youmust decide which path to take, whether it will be through adventure, plunder or even murder.

This worldwill not an easy one, if you are a COWARD, turn back now! Do you still want to join this world? Yes/No
"Yes" To be honest, Peter was feeling quite anxious as this was going to be his first time visiting a virtual world ever. The reason why Peter joined later then everyone else is because he stayed on Earth. His underground bunker is top-notched and is one of the most secure places on Earth. The last thing he remembered was that he was constantly monitoring his companies'' androids through satellite feeds. Every day he would make sure that they were on tasks. After that, his memories became a little fuzzy, but he knew deep down what had happened due to little visual snippets of memories that he gets every now and then. This was the new reality now. He could turn around and start anew in Earth 2.0, but then he would have no chance of getting back his real body. He could alsojust join another planet that had already been created long beforehand. This way he can read about people¡¯s experiences and guides to easily make E Coinsso that he can re-fill his E Meter. But by then, everyone who had joined Dragonscape Online since the beginning, would have an edge over those who join later. Flash Disappearing into a speck of light, Peter was transported out of the character creation realm. His avatar appeared above the planet of Eos. He was staring down at the world with awe. He could see other people besides him, in space, looking down at the world too with eager expressions.
Arriving at, The Tribe of Bellenau
Dazzling lights could be seen all over the skies of Eos, many of the worlds native inhabitant saw this as a sign of change. A sign of hope. But some people saw this as an ill omen for what¡¯s to come.The dazzling lights in the sky werethe thousands of players who had finished their character creation. The lights went from a few thousands to a few hundred thousand, and many more people were still inside the character creation zone, taking their sweet time, while other people in other worlds, were quickly finishing up their tasks to join in on the fun. "Ugh...." He found himself suddenly appearing inside the middle of amedium sized tribal village. Oddly enough, his sudden appearance didn''t cause any commotion, it was as if thenatives didn''t notice the sudden appearance of a strange man. The atmosphere of the village seemed to be strange, they were all looking up towards the sky, some in horror, some in hope. Peter decided to look towards the sky as well but couldn''t hide his astonishment. The heavens were filled with fireworks, these lights all came rushing towards Eos. Soon, Peter found other people, players, appearing inside the same village as him. "Make way, make way!" He didn''t realize thatwhen was dazing of in the middle of a pathway, a disaster was happening currently as he was too busy admiring the beauty of the dazzling exhibition in the sky.Heturned to see atribal man yelling in his direction. To his horror, that tribal man was anxiously trying his best to not fall of the back of his black horse. The black horse wasstormingin his direction.The unruly horse noticed a strange human standing in its path, the horse snorted in contempt and charged even faster than before. "Fuck!" Peter jumped out of the way just in time. The horse mercilessly stomped with force where the human once stood andgrunted in rage when the human escaped. "Little Ash! Stop! What¡¯s gotten into you?" The horse rider tried to soothe hismount with words, but all he got was a nasty snort. The horse then stood on its two hind legs and flung the man off its back. Crack The man screamed out in pain as his bones broke due to the sudden incident. Both natives and players, wereshocked due to theunexpected event. Somenatives cried out in horror as they all knew the man who had fallen. Some of the native men went to get their spears, and were inching towards the horse, with caution. The black horse brown eyes turned reddish like blood, mist oozed out of its nose smoothly like a cloud vapour, but what was more bewildering was that the horses flesh seemed to be decaying. The horses skin and flesh were slowly and painfully burning like a downhill forest fire. Peter scrambledon all four limbs, moving a fair amount of distance away from the horse which was currently undergoing transformation.Its reddish eyes glowed with murderous intent. The horse, even though it was stamping around withpain and raw anger, behind its psychotic breakdown were invisible tears, tears of disbelief and sanity. It was as if the horse was pleading for someone to take it out of its misery. The horse couldn''t control its action, its sanity was slowly evaporating, and Peter saw this clearly as he was spectating at the forefront of the scene. All the spear wielding natives jumped backwards, as the strange sight made them speechless.The other players watched in curiosity from a distance, with no thoughts ofhelping in this situation. They were currently too busy, trying to understand what kind of power system they have in this game. Neeeeigh! Everyone still within the scope of the scene werestartled as the horse completely shredded its dark skin. Its silky black long mane turned into black flames. The horseunderwent major changes, it now looked like a creature of death. Peter regretted not scuttering far away from here, as he was now the creatures main focus.The only good thing about this situation was that theinjured rider was not instantly killed as Peter was like a sore sight that sticked out like a thumb. The creature wanted to get rid of this nuisance before moving on to other things. The horse went from raging mad to deathly silent. It no longer had the eyes of insanity, but now it was a fully functioning conscious monster that flared up in stylish black flames. quietly stepped away from its owner beforetrotting slowly towards Peter and as Peter stared into the horse¡¯s eye, the horse stared back.This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. "Shit"

Dark misty cloudsmaterialized inside his head, this was fear. Fear is an ailment that sends the victim into a state of hysteria. Visions of all terrible things appeared in his mind, such as personal demons, his deepest darkest fear. Peter was currently scrambling on the ground, grabbing his head with both hands while rocking back and forth in fear, he was undergoing five seconds of fear. He found himself standing at the ruins of humanity, it was 300 years later but the plan didn''t work. Alias androids failed to do its task and the Earth was permanently uninhabitable. He was surrounded by billions of consciousness inside Eden¡¯s Floor. This consciousnesses were all blaming him, cursing him, kicking him down for failing to save Earth. But suddenly, while he was being kicked down. He clenched his fist tightly and said stop, enough. Peter had undeniable faith in his own products, in his family business. The androids would never fail because he had faith! He personally designed them with his own hands, pieced them together with his own hands. He came from a family with dozensof years of advance scientific breakthroughs. If he succumbed to the thought of failure right here and then? Then his ancestors would look down on him with shame when he meets them in the afterlife. He shook his head and broke out of the ailments effect, now he found himself laying on the ground, staring upwards towards the creature standing before him. The creature was startled, as it underwent transformation, not only did it grow more powerful, it learnt some new innate abilities that it could easily understand. In Peters mind, he went through timeless torture, but in reality, only three seconds had passed until he had snapped out of his predicament.This creature wanted to slowly taunt and bring the human to despair, and then kill him after five seconds had passed, it wanted the human to see its own killer.

Peter had no time delving into the popped-up messages, instead, he hadget up and run. Neeeeeeigh! The creature, that is currently now known as a Nightmare, voiced its anger vocally. "Over here!" A young native man yelled towards Peter. The tribal men¡¯s all gathered their spears and warded of the horse¡¯s path. They quickly surrounded the creature while Peter went free. He saw the man who yelled towards him, this was a young tribal man with sky-blue eyes and dreadlocks while wearing just a grass skirt and boots. "Are you ok?" The young tribal man said in a worried tone. "Yeah, I''m fine, but what happened to the horse?" "I don''t know, I''ve never seen such a thing before" The young man said with a confused expression. They both watched the men handle the Nightmare with caution. There was an influx of warriors coming from every direction. The Nightmare screeched in terror as it was being stabbed. Black blood oozed out of its wounds. Dozens of warriors all grabbed heavy nets to capture the beast alive. The nightmare was falling into despair as it was trapped and injured, it struggled around but the wounds were too numerous and deep. "We all knew Little Ash since it was born, it was the blackestweanling we had ever seen, dark as the night sky, but it was also the fastest, most handsome and friendliest horse out of the bunch, all the kids use to feed it fresh vegetables whenever they get the chance. But how did it turn in this?" Sighed the man as he saw the once beloved horse get drugged to sleep by a mysterious powder that one of the warriors threw. "I could investigate and find a satisfying explanation about what had happened to Little Ash" Peter said towards the young man. "Really? Well you can go ahead if you want, but we will also do our own investigation as well... But if you find out anything at all, come to me and I''ll reward you if the information is satisfactory"
A mystery has occurred in the Tribe of Bellenau The tribes beloved horse had turned into a nightmare, this enough is to shock the whole tribe into suspicion. Find out how the ordinary horse transformed into a monster. Once you find a satisfactory answer, report to the Chieftain''s son, Hawaiki Kahurangi Difficulty Level: E Rewards: Unknown Will you accept this quest? Yes/No
He was surprised to receive a mission out of the blue but accepted it without hesitation. He then found a few dozens of players surround him. Hawaiki walked off to look at the sleeping Nightmare, before ordering it to be locked up. All the tribe members listened to his order without complaint. It seems that this son of the Chieftain was respected. All the warriors dragged the horse away into the distance, carefully. "Hey, what happened?" "Did you get a mission?" "Do you know how to play this game? I''m confused" Peter ignored everyone¡¯s rambling and found that the injured rider was still left on the ground, ignored. Only a little girl stood there crying over his body. Peter rushed pass the surrounding players, they grew angry when he brushed passed them like they were nothing but air. "Hey, there, what¡¯s your name?" Peter said while walking up towards the little girl. "Hini Aroha" She said while sobbing softly, rubbing her teary eyes with her hands. "Can you help him, please! I''ll give you this necklace!" She said while pulling on Peters cuffs. She showed him the necklace on her neck.
Hini Aroha''soffers a request. Her father was supposed to pick her up for an outdoor ride, but suffered a heavy injury due to the nightmare incident. Hohepa Aroha is a hated man in the tribe, no one will offer any assistance because he had claimed everyone''s beloved horse as his own. The horse use to belong his dead brother, but everyone suspects Hohepa to be the murderer. But they have no proof. Save his life. Difficulty Level: F Reward:Hini''s Necklace Will you accept this quest? Yes/No
Peter of coursed accepted. The players sneered because they saw the necklace that was offered as a reward, it was just a small bone tooth sewed onto a piece of string. They quickly got bored and moved to explore the tribe to find their own quests. "It''s best to not move him at all, is there anyone you can call for help? A doctor?" "No... I mean yes, the Healer of Pain lives in the Silent Twilight Forest. four hours from here" "Ok, I¡¯ll see what I can do here" Peter said while taking off his shirt. The little girl became afraid because she saw a dragon¡¯s tattoo on his body. But then her emotions became conflicted as she saw him bandaging up the wounds with his shirt. He then found some splinters laying around and used them to create some paddings to ease the discomforts as the man was still barely conscious, the man was aware of what is going on, but couldn''t talk at all. "He won''t bleed out to death now, but I still think we need to take him to the Healer of Pain" Peter said while frowning, he was contemplating on how to move the injured man. "It''s ok, someone¡¯s coming, thanks for saving my dad" She said while handing over her necklace.
Quest Completed. Rewards: Hini''s Necklace, A bone toothed necklace of unknown origins. One E Meter Point.
He was surprised to see that he had gained an E meter point, but he was at a loss of words when he suddenly lost a point at the same time. It didn''t feel long, but after nursing Hohepa back to health, it had been an hour, so his E meter points remained the same, at 47. "I think you should keep the necklace, it isn''t worth much to me" "No, my father taught me to keep my words, so that¡¯s the payment" She said while denying Peters generosity and soon, a tall man that could only be said to be, a giant, came with a giant sack. "Hawaiki sent me to deliver his corpse to be buried" Theman standing at two metres tallsaid. "Corpse? But he''s is still alive, this man saved my dad" Hini said while pointing to Peter. "Huh? You''re a healer?" The giant said in a shocked voice, he quickly inspected the body laying on the ground, and saw that there were a some signs of nursing. ¡°I have a bit of knowledge in that area" Peter said truthfully as he had studied the human body thoroughly. Some of his ancestor¡¯s private research contains some advance medical knowledge, and although he can''t be considered a doctor, he can identify and cure a small amount of illness and injuries of others. "That''s great! Please help my son, I don''t know what''s happening with him, but he is unwell. I''ll pay you some money" The tall man said with a pleading expression.
A boy is unwell. Mikare Tounga asked for help in regards of his son, he doesn''t know what the cause is, so he needs a healer''s touch. The Healer of Pain is the only healer around this region, but charges too much for her services. So, people with heavy injuries or illness can only be left to die, unless they have the ability to pay for that healers services. Identify andsolve the problem of the boy. Difficulty: F Reward: 25 copper coins. Will you accept this quest? Yes/No
Peter immediately accepted, this caused the man to smile cheerfully. He couldn''t help but think about the quests he had received so far; Investigating the Nightmare incident, this mission came to be because he had talked to the Chieftain''s son and told him he would investigate. As for saving Hohepa''s life. If he didn''t accidentally draw in the attention of the Nightmare, maybe Hohepa would had been dead. After saving his life by preventing him from bleeding out, he gained another mission from the Mikare becausehe was thought to bea ''Healer''. He found that consecutive missions can come about when you do a certain action, every little action can affect the world in major ways. Peter thought that the Healer was too far, and according to the quest box he had just received, her services are expensive. So, between the three of them, they decided to bring Hohepa back towards Mikare''s house to rest. In return, Peter will attempt to heal the Mikare''s son. Peter didn''t have time beforehand, but now that he was temporary free, he could now inspecthis own personal power system.

Chapter 3: The Medical Goddess ''Huh?'' He was really confused when he had read the power system, he scrolled through it multiple times just to confirm that there were no classes. So how will he grow stronger? The typical rpg games lets you kill monsters to gain experience points, and in return, level up. This way, you can get free stat points to allocate wherever you want. Peter hardly had time to play games back in the real world, but even he knew that the typical games allows you to level up a class. Another thing is feats. What qualifies as a feat? Peter had gottena feat called Fearless due to conquering his demons and dispelling the fear debuff. But what about saving Hohepa? Perhaps the act of bandaging up a bleeding man wasn''t amazing enough? "Wait, don''t move him like that, you''ll open up some more wounds and cause even more damages to his body" Peter warned the giant man. Mikare was going to carry him inside the sack that he was holding, but luckily Peter stopped him before explaining to him that Hohepa''s bones are still broken and fragile, needless movement would be extremely dangerous and could potentially be life threatening. Peter then took the sack, some nearby poles and some strings to create a home-made stretcher. This stretcher is just a lightweight portable hammock with a basic frame made out of ordinary materials, so he had to be careful when carrying the injured rider with this tool. Mikare held one end while he held the other, Mikare led them towards his own household in a slow, steady pace. On the way towards the house, Peter could see many natives around the village, but some of them were avoiding the group. Not only because of a stigma caused by rumours about Hohepa, but also because of Peter. A mysterious white skinned man suddenly strolled into town just before the Nightmare incident. Although they have a few white-skinned inhabitants inside the tribe, including some that had lived with them for countless years, Peter also had a dragon¡¯s tattoo. A dragon is generally a taboo, a mystical creature said tobefellmisfortune and chaos. There were also rumours of dragons flying around and causing havocs across the world. But not all the natives avoided him, some even smiled and nodded in acknowledgement of his existence, some playful kids even waved towards him and started following him in curiosity. Mikare was more opened minded, he says that he had travelled into modern towns in the past, towns that were many times larger than his tribe. He saw that there were many people of different races live in these types of communities together. There were a few discords here and there, but overall, it was generally harmonious. Tattoos are not rare, in fact, the people of the Bellenau tribes had many different types of traditional tattoos on their bodies. These types of traditional tattoos are called, Ta moko. Not only is it extremely painful, but also dangerous. The most skilled tattooist in the region originates from this village, they dip a small blade in black ink, then hammer down the blade into the skin with a mallet to leave permanent marks onto the skin. Mikare says that the traditional tattoos of his tribe would bless him with power, but Peter didn''t believe it one-hundred percent as the tattoos he had seen in this village looked ordinary. They didn''t glow, or show any signs of power, they just looked ordinary, like his own. But perhaps there was something there, so if he wanted to confirm the existence of it''s power, then he would need to test it himself when he had the time and money. Soon, after fifteen minutes of carefully treading across the tribe, they had finally made it towards Mikare''s house. It could only be described as a medium sized wooden hut with a dry muddy rooftop. "Husband is that you? Did you finish the task? Huh?" A tall attractive woman, barefoot and was dressed in a grass bikini with her stomach exposed, heardfootsteps nearing the entrance of the hut. She had a dark spiralled tattoo above her chin and below her lips, her visage was that of high elegance and class. Except that she had reddish eyes, a trait that showed that she had been crying recently, and her hair had a few messy bits which showed that she was stressed out. "This is my wife; Kura, and this is Peter; a healer" Makere introduced the both to each other before stepping inside the hut, the other followed through and they gently placed the injured rider onto one of the bed. "A healer? Wonderful! Oh? Is this Hohepa?" The wife said in confusion as she saw the man who was being laid down in her house. "Yeah, um¡­ is it fine if we could crash here Mrs Tounga?" Hini said meekly as she hid behind Peter, she feared being rejected since she and her father were usually looked at with contempt. "Of course, you can, I knew your father since we were young, so I can be considered as your aunt"Kura said, surprising the little girl as she never knew that fact. "Well, actually, it''s more like I knew your father''s brother more, but unfortunately, he passed away" Kura said sadly. "Yeah, it was a shame, his death was really a mystery and it broke many peoples heart" Mikare added. "My father wasn''t the killer, he was with me the whole time" Hini said defensively. "It''s ok Hini, we don''t believe that rumour, only peoplelooking for someone to be blamed, believes that" Mikare said while patting the little girls head, he then looked towards Peter. "Follow me, I can show you my son''s condition, he really is really unwell, and you might want to cover your face" Mikare said in a warning tone. Peter nodded before accepting a face mask made of weaved leaves. Peter followed Mikare, along with Kura while Hini stayed beside her dads¡¯ side. The three of them entered the back room of the hut, it was closed off from the rest of the rooms to isolate the sick boy. Peter was stunned when he first walked in. He noticed the boy tiredly laying on the bed. The boy had rashes all over his skin and he was in a state of extreme fatigue. Peter walked up to the boy in order to examine him more thoroughly. Kura was clenching her husband hands with worry and hope. "Hi kiddo, I''m a healer, and I''m here to help you, so don''t worry, you will be back on your feet¡¯s in no time" Peter said cheerfully. The boy¡¯s eyes went wide with hope, but he could barely show his joy through action as his muscles ache. Peter noticed that the boy''s skin was scaly, rough and dry. If he had the correct medical tools, he would use them, but unfortunately, he had nothing much, so he borrowed their wooden spoon to use as a stick. He used the spoon to open the boys mouth and saw that his gums were swollen and bleeding. "He can barely move at all, I don''t know what¡¯s happening with him. Can you save him, healer?" Kura said with a pleading voice. "I think I have an idea of what the problem is, but first, can you answer a question of mine?" Peter asked both the parents, and they nodded in consent. "Does your son have a loss of appetite?" "Yes, he barely eats his meal, even if I try and force the food into his mouth, he will barely swallow it down, he also loss a lot of weight, he used to be a cute little chubby boy but now..." Kura cried in her husband arms as she saw the sight of her son, he was not the chubby kid that he used to be, he had lost a lot of fat, and was showing signs of anorexia, this caused the mother to be extremely distressed. "I need to something that may be painful for your son, but it will confirm my thoughts on what sickness he has" He said explained slowly towards the parents, at first, they weren''t up for it, but Peter told them that it will not take long and that this test was needed to confirm his diagnosis. So, they reluctantly agreed. "This may be painful, but it won''t last long, I need you to be brave, are you a brave fighter?" Peter said towards boy, the boy weakly smiled while nodding. "Ok, does this feel painful?" Peter light pressed down on the boys¡¯ knees. The boy scrunched his nose, Peter could tell that it was painful for the boy. "I know what we are dealing with" Peter stopped his test and told the parents what they wanted to hear. "Really? Do you know how to save him?" Kura said while Mikare looked in expectancy. "It is called, scurvy" "Scurvy?" Both parents were confused about the term. "He lacked some vital nutrients needed for a human body to function, this is called vitamin C. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and helps maintain the skin, blood vessels, bones and the basic form of the body. It is easy to spot people with Scurvy as they have the same symptoms as your son, red rashes, fatigue, swollen and bleeding gums, loss of weight and appetite and weak muscles, especially in the legs." "And can this, scurvy be cured?" Said Kura. "Yes, he can be cured by eating fruits, such as kiwi fruits, citrus and orange fruits. Any kinds of fruits would do. I can guarantee that he will show signs of recovery after 48 hours once he is fed fruits, and after two weeks, he will make a full recovery, but I don''t recommend over feeding him fruits, just a small amount every few hours would do" "Thank you so much for your help Peter... Husband, hurry up and pay him the money!" Kura angrily shouted at her husband, before he finally gave Peter a small pouch containing 25 copper coins.

Peter was suddenly swamped with many texted boxes, he didn''t understand much as first, so he decided to look at it later. He did feel something change inside his body, a boost of confidence, an attribute that boost his mindset and mental fortitude, it was noticeable to himself because he knew his own body best. Kura was going to fish out some more coins, but Peter stopped her. "This payment alone is enough I don''t want to take anything more from you since you have been so kind in letting Hohepa and Hini stay for a while. Also, your son hasn''t been cured of his illness yet and it makes me feel uneasy just by accepting anymore payment" "If you say so, but if you are lying about my son..." Kura said while smiling faintly into Peters eyes. He shivered coldly as he stared into her eyes, imagining what she might to do him if the prescription fails. "I''ll go buy some fruits, although they are expensive right now, we should buy enough to cure our boy" Mikare said while rushing out immediately, he ran to get his money pouch before disappearing outside the house. He was too anxious to wait any longer than necessary. The two of them left the little boy alone to rest before moving back towards the main room. They sat down for brunch as Kura had already cooked food for her husband, but she decided to let the man who claims to be a healer have it. Peters stomach was already grumbling and couldn''t wait to dig in. The meal smelt fresh, it was a traditional meal called boil up, a meal with a broth soup and boil meat, the meat was medium well done and could melt right off the bones, there were also some potatoes and fried bread on the side. "I find it weird that since coming into this tribe, many people are still healthy but then, how did your son fall to scurvy?" "Well... We didn''t know the problem, but there is a reason why he hadn''t had any fruits. The reason why our son didn''t have any fruits in the last few months was because our tribes fruit trees had been destroyed, the trees and plant of the farm had died out, it was like the life of the farm had been sapped dry. Furthermore, thiscaused the prices of fruits from outside of the tribe to rise. I''m guessing that the reason why most of the adults hadn''t suffered from scurvy is because of a traditional fruit based wine that nearly all adults drink every few days" "That seems, reasonable, may I ask, how many other people are suffering from scurvy?" Peter wanted to know this becausehe really wantedto play the healer card again, this way he can finish multiple quests in just a short time so that he can stack up more E Meter points. "Yes, at first, we thought that it was contagious, so everyone hid the sick kids inside a closed off room, we then gather every night to find solutions, but nothing works, even begging the Healer of Pain for help didn''t work. So, beside us, there should be around less than 50 people suffering with this disease" "Well then, what are we waiting for? Let''s go help out the others" Peter said urgently as he didn''t want to wait any longer or else the gold mine before him might be snatched by another player. Fifty patients would give him at least two days¡¯ worth of E Meter points, this will let him relax for a brief moment since his situation wouldn''t be urgent anymore. After checking up on Hohepa and seeing that his body is safe from critical conditions, he then had the dirty makeshift bandages, his shirt, replaced by a proper sterileclean cloth. He then told Hini to look after her dad and the sick boy while they leave. Hini nodded seriously before she stood guard near the entrance door. Kura and Peter then moved from house to house to accept and complete all the scurvy quests available. With his +1-confidence stat, he was able to smoothly explain and diagnose many of the patients quickly. It was before of this extra stat that made him look more trusting as he possessed the confidence of a real healer. This had drastically cut down the time needed to finish each individual quest. After his eleventh patients, the next one had a different sickness, it was a cold. Luckily a cold is a common ailment back on Earth and he was able to easily explain and solve the sickness of this patient.

He then moved onto his next few patients who all had scurvy and easily completed the quests. He was now moving onto his 23rd patient but found an anomaly. Just before Kura could explain to the parents of their sick kid that Peter was here to help. The parents thanked them both for coming to them, but they said that they already had a healer come in to diagnose their son. Peter double-checked with the parents to find out what sort of diagnosis the healer had given them, and he found that it was similar to his own. The two of them went to the other patients to find out that another healer had gotten to them first. This made Peter depressed since he had only gotten 23, including Kura''s son, out of the 50 potential quests. Which meant that he had only gotten less than one day worth of E Meter points. But the good thing was that he had collected a total of 267 bronze coins due to his good deeds. He found that had travelled around for a total of four hours, so he now had a total of 66 E Meter points. The sky was growing a little dark and since that there were no more free patients left, the two of them walked back to the hut. Soon after entering the hut, they found another person inside, kneeling next to Hohepa. "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?" Kura said fiercely in a chilling tone. Her killing aura brought the rooms temperature down to a few degrees. "Wait, she is a healer like Peter, she wanted to check up on your son, but I told him that he had already been diagnosed, so she went to check on my father" Hini came out to explain and defend the mysterious newcomer. "So, you''re the other healer?" Peter said towards the woman checking on the injured rider. He couldn''t help but be stunned at her exposed long smooth legs. She was currently bending over and checking the Hohepas injuries thoroughly. The other healer was extremely calm, she didn''t even flinch at the shout of Kura, even the killing intent that scared both Peter and Hini didn''t faze this girl. ''Hmmmmhm'' The female healer just mumbled in consent before finishing up her inspection. Once she turned around, her long black hair waved softly like silk as her stunning face came into view. Peters jaw dropped as he saw the beauty in front of him, even Kura was stunned and felt that her beauty paled compared to this mysterious healer. This woman looked to Asian, in her mid-twenties, and had sharp eyebrows that complements her dark eyes. The eyes were as beautiful and sparkling as the vast galaxy of the universe. Her skin looked smoothed and free of flaws. Her small tiny nose looked exceptionally cute, her lips were the shade of cherry pink and looked too sweat to taste. Peter had never been captured by any type of beauty in his lifetime, all he wanted was to maintain his own company and realised his ancestors dreams. Marrying that despicable women was a business decision, one that will elevate his company to a new level, but who knew that this woman would be crafty and plot a coup behind his back. "You must be the other healer, I''m glad to meet someone else like me in this world, my name is Clare" She said straightforwardly while holding out her hands. "Peter" He smiled brightly while bringing his hand to meet her, but he felt quite sad when he saw her maintain a neutral flat expression. "Well, since you are here, I can leave Hohepa into your hands" "Wait, ah, what can I say, um, I''m not actually a doctor, I just have some knowledge about a few illness, and I don''t have the skillset to completely make Hohepa recover, so since you are here, can you help him please? He did save my life beforehand" Peter said while briefly remembering Hohepa''s shout. This shout had caused him to break out of his daze and jump out harm¡¯s way. If this didn''t happen, Peter would had been crushed under the foot of that horse and not only would he feel unimaginable pain, if he died then and there, he would had lost 40% of his current E Meter Points and be respawned back to his personal platform in space. "Oh, Well I should had known... Who would think that you are a real doctor?" She lightly insulted Peter while checking him out, her eyes briefly lingered onto his muscular abs before she turned away quickly.She agreed to help Hohepa after Hini''s constant pleading, this pleading had triggered a quest for Clare, so she soon started her work. Peter didn''t know why, but when the beautiful woman teased him, and when he saw her looking at his body, he felt a fire burning in his heart while his face showed an obvious blush. Peter really wanted to see her smile but didn''t want to try too hard as to make her feel uncomfortable. So, he skipped all forms of small talks and flirting techniques that were running in his mind, he eventually leaned towards a more serious approach due to the solemn nature of the woman before him. Any kind of distraction will unfazed her, she has the deposition of a war medic, someone who treads a dangerous path just to help out her fellow soldiers, this is what Peter had guessed. Soon Mikare came back with a large batch of fruits. Kura then explained Clare¡¯s presences to her husband and he was happy to have another guest inside his home, especially another healer. Mikare and Kura then went to their sons to feed him and stay with him. Hini was tired and went to sleep on a spare bed, this made it easier for Peter to talk to Clare. "It has been six hours since this world has been available to the public, do you understand much about of power system?" He said curiously. "Not really, I don''t really play games that much" "What about Feats?" "Oh, I have a Feat... It''s Doctor lvl 1, this Feat gives me, + 1 confidence and + 1 humane stats" "What? I have one called Medical Practitioner, which only gives me + 1 confidence, and one called Fearless, which gives me + 1 fear resistance" Peter was stunned when Clare had a different medical title when they both did the same thing. She got her title after finishing her first quest, diagnosing one of the scurvy patients. He had found out that she completed her quest before him. After talking back and forth with their own experiences. They theorisedthat a feat can only exist once. Since Clare finished first, she got the Feat of Doctor, and Peter finished next, he got the Feat of Medical Practitioner, which is lesser than a doctor. Although this was just a theory and wasn''t proven to be true yet,Peterfelt some sense of urgency due to this thought. What if all the top combat feats were to be taken already? Then he can only hope to gain a lesser one... And what if you die? Would you lose all your feats that you had collected so far? There were still too many unknown factors in this game, he was just going to have to play it through to find out more. He then confirmed that he can switch between primary and reserve Feats instantly, and that only one Feat can be effective at a time. He would have to try and find Feats of different types so that he can properly design a pathway for himself. Perhaps an offensive, defensive and movement type, so that he can switch in between battles smoothly. ''Perhapsthisquest can give me the opportunity to get a top feat''Peter thought about the first quest he had received, The only E rank quest he had recieved. He had to figure out how the horse had transformed into a nightmare, perhaps he would find a true culprit in the end. His brilliant mind flashed, and he thought of everything that may be related to the incident.
