《Fishing Priest》


 Ch 1: Game Mode: Online

    I''ve been playing God''s Demand for quite some a long time until the online version came out,Gods'' Demands. It''s an online virtual reality game which allows players to do anything with only their ability as their limit.Mirage company has been releasing teasers after teasers like crazy,making the crowd even more crazier.I am lucky to be the first hundred people who pre-ordered the game.And the game is supposed to be released today,along with the activation of the servers.


    ~Some time later~


    It''s now 1:34 a.m,every mail truck had gone past my house but none stopped to bring my package. Sitting on my couch preparing my weekly vlog to inform my subscriber how my days have been.As usual,I turned on my camera and begin vlogging.


    "Hello folks! It''s Destroyer429Alpha here and..." A sudden knock on the door and I paused the recording. The moment I opened the door,there''s a truck with Mirage''s logo on it in front of my house.


    "Excuse me,are you Mr.Raquez?"(Mirage employee)


    "Yes,I am,is that my package?"(Alex)


    "Yes sir,and sorry for the inconvenience, the package that we have to deliver exceeds our expectations and some of them even get delayed until tomorrow morning."(Mirage employee)


    "At least it''s here,now where do I sign?"(Alex)


    "Here,thank you for purchasing our product, if there is any issues,you may contact our customer service."(Mirage employee)


    A book,A CD case and a smaller CD case were nicely packed inside,leaving no gap to maintain space efficiency. The installation was really easy. While waiting,I read the book.


    After skipping the Terms and Condition because you know you''d also skip it if you were me,I have finally could tell the difference between God''s Demand and Gods'' Demands.Gods'' Demands has a trading system,party system,and warp system.Gods'' Demands has 100% hack-proof system,no lag,world wide connection and extremely realistic graphics,according to the book.


    "Oracle Vision has successfully installed Gods'' Demands."


    Excited,I sat on my bed and put on the Oracle Vision.


    "Welcome to Gods'' Demands,please pick a nickname for your character."


    "Falcron"I replied to the machine.


    "Please choose one of the following races for your character."


    Then a long list of races appeared.


    "Elf."


    "Please choose the subrace."


    As another list came up,I unintentionally said the first one out loud.


    "Marine Elf"


    "Your character''s name and race have been chosen"


    "Noooooooo!" Then my vision blacked out.


    I appeared in a pure white plain room with my character floating in mid air. A big sized window appeared for the appearance setting.


    Long story short, I made a cool looking body with white hair average build and lastly...


    "Left eye color,Purple!"


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Heterochromia iridum


    A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.Costs 1 copper,confirm?

    (What?I still have to pay for aesthetics? Okay Alex calm down,at least it''s only one copper.)

    I was sent to a beach in the middle of who-knows-where


    "Hello..."As expected, no reply came.


    A new player started at level 0,which level up with 1 XP.Provided with essential items,players are randomly scattered around the world.


    Slow calm waves,crystal clear water,cool breeze,and sounds of seagulls,it''s a pretty nice place actually,except for the level 1 Red Crab which is trying to get apiece of me.


    "Inventory!" I screamed.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Leather coat x1


    Leather boots x1


    Leather pants x1


    Tutorial book x1


    Pre-order gift box x1</td></tr></tbody></table>


    I quickly threw the book to the crab.


    <table><tbody><tr><td>The Red Crab has been stunned!


    duration:3 seconds </td></tr></tbody></table>


    I turned my body and kicked it before it could recover.After the third kick,it finally died,leaving a broken shell and a copper coin.Pulled the book from the sand I did,level 3 Spike Crabs I found.


    "Dammiiiit!Why do I have to get a bad start like this?"


    Running with all I got,I finally got them to lose interest in me.Moments later,I found myself sitting down at a bluff.Remembered about the gift box,I pulled it out and opened it.


    A flash of bright golden light shine and the box disintegrated into fading light before revealing 4 baskets,each containing 1kg of corn and a baumist wood framed cobalt chest.

    "Who''s laughing now,Mr.Claetrax Wielder?"(Maybe}


    Meanwhile~~


    Sraka,??? Beach


    I literally just can''t stop fishing the moment I got the fishing rod.Well,fishing is actually my hobby when I am not playing games. Impressively, without any other bait except for corns,I managed to catch 57 common fishes,14 uncommon fishes,3 rare fishes,and a sealed book.


    The game is pretty balanced, by not allowing player to get any basic skill without having a job.The main job is usually filled with battle-oriented jobs while the side job is filled with production-oriented or hobby related jobs.


    Here''s my status now:

    When you "die",you will be transported to our exclusive feature,"The Home" instead of you being logged out,since you''re dead in reality.You can still watch TV,read books,and other things in The Home.


    Since you are dead,we made you into an NPC adventurer and also most of the terms and conditions don''t apply to you anymore.

    A shiver crawled up my spine which turned into laughter.


    (Do they even know that the only reason why I still want to live is to play games,watch anime,film,and TV,and reading novels and comics.I don''t care about my body,I mean I''ve been only eating pizza and french fries for years.Now I can do all that without needing to clean my room or do my business or eat or even sleep.I can play 24/7!)


    And with that,I fainted from the teleportation


    ============================================================================


    Clank!Clank!Clank!


    A horde of heavily armored knights ran through the halls.


    "Subdue the intruder!Prepare for any counter attacks!"(???)


    A voice rang through the halls starting from the white bearded dwarf that seems to be their general.


    "Kyaa...!"(???)


    A maid was pushed away by one of the knights.


    BAAAMM!


    A door was brutally breached,it crashed to the other side of the wall.


    ============================================================================


    Cabila Palace,Throne Room


    "My king,I have successfully captured the intruder."(Dwarf General)


    "Great work,Rocker.But it is thanks to me that he is captured."(???)


    "Let me go!Hey you! Yes you freaking king!Tell them to release me!I did nothing wrong!"(Falcron)


    "How dare you talk like that to the king of.."(Rocker)


    "Shut up you old dwarf!I''m talking to the Great King of Bullshit!"(Falcron)


    "Release him,I feel no threat from him."(King)


    "No threat?My king,this insolent bastard has done lesse majeste to you!"(Rocker)


    "Sure he''s bad-mouthed,but he''s mostly harmless."(King)


    "Can anyone tell me WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!"(Falcron)

 Sorry orz!

We both have exam week last month so we can''t really write anything.For those who are waiting,we are very sorry for not telling you guys.We''ll probably finish the next chapter next week.

 Ch 3: I used to be a fisherman like you....

    Herlgard,Zebulon Town


    "I''m very sorry, but this weapon is irreparable even with my advanced skill" (Blacksmith)


    "Seriously?!" (Maybe)


    "Too bad, I guess I''m winning the bet after all, Chris." (Invalid)


    "Why you little! I''m going to beat the shit out of you if you do it one more time!" (Maybe)


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    Cabila Palace, Throne Room


    "Your Majesty, are you sure about letting that young man freely roaming around this palace after his insolence to you?" (Rocker)


    "Don''t worry, Rastinoir has done something to prevent further insolence." (King)


    "Yes, I''ve put a tracking spell on him and I''ve prepared some other things." (Rastinoir)


    "So where is he now, Rastinoir?" (King)


    "He''s still in the guest room." (Rastinoir)


    "Guard!" (King)


    "Yes, Your Majesty." (Guard A)


    "Tell that young man to come to the dinner table." (King)


    "Yes, Your Majesty." (Guard A)


    ~~~~~~~~


    Cabila Palace, Guest Room


    <table><tbody><tr><td>Because of continuous training, you got +1 INT!</td></tr></tbody></table>


    "The tutorial book is done!" (Falcron)


    *knock knock*


    "The king has summoned you to the dinner table, sir." (Guard A)


    I stood up to open the door when suddenly...


    *crack*


    "Aghhh!" (Falcron)


    My back hurts, a lot.


    Then a guard kicked down the door.


    "Are you okay,sir?" (Guard A)


    "Scan the room, check for any threats!" (Guard B)


    " I''m okay, I just have been not moving for a long time so now my back hurts. Rather than that, can anyone bring my fishing rod for over there?"(Falcron)


    "Y-yes, sir. But why do you have a fishing rod,sir?" (Guard A)


    "I like fishing." (Falcron)


    -A few hours ago-


    "You breached the magic barrier of our best arch mage, that''s what happened." (King)


    The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    "I was teleported here, I didn''t come here of my own accord." (Falcron)


    "Are you speaking the truth?" (King)


    "Yes." (Falcron)


    "Very well, how about you rest first? Could you escort him to the guest room,Daren?" (King)


    " Yes, Your Majesty. "(Daren)


    -Now back to normal time-


    I''m eating some bread while walking to the dining room.


    " Welcome, young man. Oh,and what is your name?"(King)


    "My name is Falcron, so what''s this about?" (Falcron)


    " We''ve been discussing about your teleportation. Please,sit down."(King)


    (What should I say?I can''t say that the system teleported me.)


    " So what did you find,Your Majesty? "(Falcron)


    "Now you''re being polite. Anyway we found that there is traces of holy magic which means you may be teleported by a god." (Rastinoir)


    "Which may mean that you may be sent by that god to be our hero. Now, let''s eat first" (King)


    After that a pile of food is put on the table and we began eating.There are some steaks,a big bowl of tomato soup,salad,seafood,hard boiled eggs, and a pitcher of fruit juice.


    ~~~~~~~


    Cabila Palace, Throne Room


    "So we''re here to give you some basic hero equipments,Falcron." (King)


    <table><tbody><tr><td>You got:


    -steel chest plate


    -steel gauntlets


    -steel greaves


    -steel boots


    -steel circlet


    -red steel short sword</td></tr></tbody></table>


    I equipped all the items immediately.


    "Now you look like an actual hero." (Rocker)


    "Also,I might as well introduce my daughter, Princess Sharina." (King)


    "Nice to meet you,hero." (Sharina)


    "By the way,what is your job,Falcron?" (Rastinoir)


    "I''m a fisherman before this." (Falcron)


    "You''re a what?!" (Rocker&Rastinoir)

 Ch 4: .....until I became a priest

    Sorry for the lateness of this chapter.I think this is the last day of our deadline.OK,so we just finished our graduation exam so that''s why this is so late.Still waiting for the results though. Anyway,here''s the chapter!


    ==============================================================


    "Why did the gods choose you as one of the heroes of the kingdom, especially  THIS kingdom?" (Rastinoir)


    "I don''t know, ask them yourself, if you can that is. This fish tastes good, where does it come from?" (Falcron)


    "Mareey River, southern land of this kingdom. Anyway father, why a fisherman?."(Sharina)


    "No need to be so harsh about it, Sharina. He is a special case when a hero is given to a kingdom without  a restriction on what job should he has. Whether this is the gods'' mistake or blessing, I am truly amazed"(King)


    "Then how are we going to improve his capabilities?" (Sharina)


    "If I''m allowed to give out any suggestion, it would be best if we escort him


    to the Grand Cathedral" (Rastinoir)


    (The Cathedral? If they want to give me a job shouldn''t it be the Guild Hall or something?)


    Driven by curiosity on what will they do to me, I asked them.


    "Why the Grand Cathedral?" (Falcron)


    "Seems our hero right here has gained some control over his words" (Rastinoir)


    "The gods usually give us job at the Grand Cathedral after you turned four years old.How did you get your job anyway?"(Rastinoir)


    "I fished a lot so the gods just granted me with the fisherman job."(Falcron)


    "How come?Only [Traveler] can be granted job from the gods but you''re not one,are you?"(Rastinoir)


    "No,I don''t think so.(At least not anymore.)"(Falcron)


    ~~Later~~


    Grand Cathedral, Mogarim Empire


    On the way, I just noticed that Leivon''atrum loos more like a long white stass with a bubble-like orb on top when it is unused, since it keeps its tri-pointed hook, neon blue string and cristalized reel hidden.


    "Here we are, at the Grand Cathedral then, Falcron, get in and take the test!" (Rocker)


    The Grand Cathedral is not actually an overstatement, the stained glass adorned the white hall which give it a luxurious view.


    A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    "Hello your highness,what brings you to the Grand Cathedral today?" (???)


    "The gods has granted our empire a hero,Archbishop Vernon.We wish for the gods to grant the hero with a proper job." (King)


    "Why would your highness wish for that? Haven''t the gods granted the hero with the proper job?" (Vernon)


    "That''s the problem,the gods only gifted our hero with a side job.His main job is not determined yet." (King)


    "Very well then, Hero, step to the white orb in front of the altar." (Vernon)


    I walked to the orb.As soon as I touch it,the orb started shining and after a few seconds,the light died out.

    [Y][N] </td></tr></tbody></table>


    I chose no.


    "Why did you reject the job granted by the gods?!?!"(King)


    "I don''t want that job."(Falcron)


    After I said that,the locked book inside my inventory came out by itself and started shining and floating in mid-air

    "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!"(Falcron)


    ============================================================================


    OK,so I tried to fix that table but it doesn''t want to cooperate.I literally copied the first table but it still doesn''t work so this time it''s not my fault.Actually ,could anyone tell the admins about this?
