[Current Time: 11:40pm]
"Im already awake."
Ayuna exits the Gaming Capsule while rubbing his eyes. He headed straight to the kitchen, searching for something to eat.
He quickly finds an apple in the fridge. After grabbing it, he skillfully peels it with the knife he got beside the sink. He cuts it gently into small pieces before munching on them. Not even 5 minutes later, he was done eating. He throws the apple peels in the trash can before washing his hands along the knife. He got a pitcher of water inside the fridge before drinking directly in it. After satisfying his thirst, he walks to the bathroom to pee and brush his teeth.
=10 Minutes Later=
Ayuna exits his bathroom before heading to his bedroom.
After entering his bedroom, he picks his phone. Tapping his password quickly, he taps the Message App before making a text to Caleb.
{Hey, Honey. The game's about to start. Good luck!}
Caleb's reply arrived quickly.
{Yes. I'm already inside the Gaming Capsule, you should enter too. Take care, I love you.
Ayuna smiled before sending a message.
{I love you, too.
He puts down his phone back in the table beside the Gaming Capsule before entering the Capsule.
"Star Boat, Activate."
[Star Boat Activating...]
[Star Boat Fully Activated.]
"Run the VR Game ILoM."
[Running Infinite Lands Of Mysteries...]
[Do you want to enter Infinite Lands Of Mysteries now?
Yes/No]
"Yes." Ayuna answers quickly.
[Affirmative.]
Blinding light burst inside the Star Boat leaving Ayuna no choice but to close his eyes.
'I really hate that.'
Opening his eyes, Ayuna was once again in the Character Creation Space. A large time can be seen floating infront of him.
[00:03:23]
'3 minutes before the launch of ILoM.' Ayuna thought. He place his hands under his chin as support.
'I will be randomly teleported to a Beginner Village. But I'm sure it will be near the sea or lakes as I'm a merfolk. If it's truly random, some Merfolk and Elf players may be unlucky and teleported to Village near volcanoes or Village in dessert. They will be suppressed by the environment.'
'Anyways, my plan is to quickly level to 10 after getting the first kill in the Wild Boss near every village. It will surely give me a gold coin. Aside from the gold coin, I remembered that you will get a complete treasure map.'
'Maybe, I should also get the Title from Alchemist Association. That's right, I should get that Title.'
As Ayuna continues to brainstorm, the timer continue to advance.
Before Ayuna could notice, the timer turns 00:00:00.
[Adventurer, the Infinite Lands Of Mysteries is now open. Do you want to enter now?]
"Yes." Ayuna softly answer.
As soon as he uttered those words, his consciousness turns blank. A second later, he recovers.
What he sees is a lively village with hundreds of people walking around curiously.
Ayuna immediately opens his Status Screen.

"The same as before." Ayuna whispers softly. Then, he open next his Inventory.
The starting slots of inventory of players is fifty. In Ayuna's inventory, 49 is empty while the last one have a small chest occupying it.
Ayuna taps the occupied slot, bringing the item's information.
[Welcome Gift
Description: A welcome gift the developers gives to all player. This welcome gift contains 1 set of equipment, 1 weapon, and 1 accessory. Don't expect a legendary tier.]
Ayuna skims through the description of the gift before opening it.
[Congratulations, Adventurer Eclipse! You obtain the Silver Tier Set Equipment, Waterfall Set.]
[Congratulations, Adventurer Eclipse! You obtain the Trash Tier Weapon, Rusty Wand.]
[Congratulations, Adventurer Eclipse! You obtain the Bronze Tier Accessory, Fang Ring.]
Ayuna's beautiful eyes opened wide.
'Is my luck always this good? A Silver Tier Set Equipment?'
Ayuna quickly appraised them.

Ayuna was quite amazed by the Set Equipment's attributes but he quickly get over it.
Although, the equipments are Silver Tier, it just barely passed as one. It's evident given that It didn't possess any skills.
Trash, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Epic, Legendary, and Mythical. This are the tiers of weapons, equipments, etc.
Usually, Silver Tier and above have a skill. But it seems this Waterfall set just get to stand in Silver Tier is because of its attributes. It's good though.
He then appraise the Weapon and the Accessory.
