VRMMO Brink

First quest

After roaming around for a while I finally arrived in front of the building with stacks of coins as their logo. Opening the door which semblance doesn't really give off fantasy-esque feels. My hope of there would be a floating person with wings or something like flying wingless pets has been crushed. At least the lobby structure is pretty neat with most of it made of wood and the floor is shiny like a bald head person in the middle of a scorching desert.

Looking around, a middle-aged man comes to me with a smile on his face he's a bald man with an offside belly. Based on my experience the man should be on the level of the manager or equal or maybe higher in the way he exudes on.

The man asks me what I'm looking for and said my purpose in opening a registered vault. Following the man, he led me to a room with a table and chairs made of wood with a silver lamp post on the wall. It is a simple room with no decoration except for the lamp.

"I forgot to introduce myself it seems, haha, when you were old you start to be forgetful, anyway I'm Hodwart a manager here. So you said before that you want to access a vault, yes? To access a vault you only need to enter the ID and the password after that I will give you the item inside the vault."

A panel with ID and password shows up after inputting the ID and password fatso sends me. Hodwart smile and told me to wait for him while he goes get the item. A few minutes after that Hodwart come in with a book and said "this is the card inside the vault Mr. Vain. you can take your time I'll be tending the other customers and you can leave the card on the table after you were done." then left.

Picking up the card I see a picture of books, a weapon, and armors plus a stack of vials with red liquid inside. The card itself has a wavy gold frame at its sides and black colored at back with gold coins as the logo. That bastard didn't tell me how I can access the items inside. It's hard being a newbie I need to learn everything again. Sigh. maybe saying openly will make the item come out. I don't know, I guess I need to call him again.

Walking outside the building I felt my noob-i-ness is becoming my biggest problem here. Opening the menu I select the other option and choose the forum. Lots of sections appear and searching for tutorials and tips as the tag. I navigate around the sea of thread to search for my immediate problems and the one that catches my attention was about a warrior that finish his training on the training center and received a skill and art because his final rating is 7.8.

So my target should be finishing the training, allocating my attributes, and hunting monsters. The training center is not that far away from the bank if I go straight I probably need only a 15-ish minute because of browsing the forum it took me 2 hours to get here.

The training center gate has this statue of a man carved out of a tree, a living tree with leaves as its hair, not ordinary leaves but a spiky one. The statue probably reaches tens plus meter with his arms crossing and the life-like eye looking down on people that want to pass the gate gives the passenger an imposing feeling. Passing the gate I saw humongous open fields with dummies, people shouting, hitting dummies, small statues made of stones, etc.

From the thread, I found they said I need to report to a 3-meter tall human to get a trainee profession and no matter from which side you are standing on you would know where he is from his lion-like roar. Speak of the devil I heard a roar from the center where people swinging their sword.

"Mister I want to get stronger so that I may take control of my life." without greeting I talk to the big guy with the naked upper body. Showing my determination. I don't even know myself why I said that but his muscular body with his 8 packs and scarred chest trembling slightly. With him over-shadowed me I somehow can see him smile at me. It looks innocent but brutal at the same time.

"I've been here more than eighty years and it's the first time I heard that since I left my tribe in the north. I'm Ax Frostborne. What is your name lad?"
