Chapter 1: Another life<br /><br />As soon as I woke up, I hurried to check my auction, to see if it had reached its required amount. When I saw it a smile had crept up my face, while not as high as Weed’s, the price was still more than enough for the equipment for Royal Road.<br />“this must be the best day of my life” I yelled in delight, hurriedly I withdrew the money from the bank, and ordered Royal Road, it would take approximately 3 weeks for the equipment to arrive, so I decided to do get some real life experience with some martial arts, as I thought combat would be easier if I already knew some techniques, so for 1 week I did some taekwondo, 1 week of fencing, and the final week I used on learning to smith.<br />Finally the day came, when some guys came with Royal Road, I couldn’t hide my excitement as I literally jumped with joy, the delivery guys must’ve thought I was crazy, but I didn’t care, I’ve waited for this for a long time now, and no one is allowed to ruin my excitement or joy for that matter.<br />As soon as it was set up, I gave the delivery men a bonus, and jumped into the pod. It took a while for the magical words to appear.<br /><br /><br /><br />Would you like to connect to Royal Road?<br />Yes/No<br /><br />As if there ever were any doubts, I shouted “YES” at the top of my lungs and everything went dark.<br />“Hello” said a mechanical female voice, “I see this is the first time you’ve logged in. Let’s proceed with the character creation”<br />“First, what is your name?”<br />“Dante”<br />“Which race do you want to play as?”<br />My innermost desire would be to play as an elf, but then I would be secluded from the majority of the players that chose human, so I went with that “Human”<br />“Any changes to your appearance?”<br />“None”<br />“Which kingdom would you like to start in?”<br />“Doesn’t matter”<br />“Your character is now complete, have fun in Royal Road”<br />Right when she finished saying that, I woke up in the middle of the town square. Since this was the first time I had ever played a VRMMORPG, I felt a little uncomfortable, so I started running and jumping on the spot to test out this new body. After a while I got a little more comfortable, so I started exploring the town, but since I didn’t exactly know where I was, I asked a NPC guard<br />“Excuse me, but do you know where I am”<br />“Of course I do, you are in Rosenheim city”<br />“Thanks a lot”<br />All of a sudden I had this urge to hit something, but I couldn’t go out the city before 4 weeks have passed, so I asked the guard where I could hit something.<br />“The training center, would be a good place to start”<br />Alright, let’s go to the training center<br />“Sorry to bother you again, but where is the training center”<br />“Right down this road to the right, after that at the second intersection turn left, when you reach a tavern turn right down an alley behind it, and it should be in sight”<br />“Ok, thanks again”<br />“Hmm, that was some directions, don’t think I remember them all, it was right, left, and right down an alley behind the tavern and it should be there, but I don’t see it anywhere, all I see is some slums, did I take a wrong turn somewhere”<p class="cjA2MTgxOWY4ZDUxMzRkMTZhYTI1MTAzMjg1Y2I0MjMx">Stolen story; please report.</p>*bump*<br />“Ah, sorry, I was lost in thought”<br />“No, no, it was my mistake” he said before walking away<br />“Well, that was weird”<br />“Hey mister, you should really chase that guy from before” said a little kid<br />“Why?”<br />“Well obviously because he stole your wallet” answered some middle-aged guy<br />“He WHAT, oh, he is so dead, quick kid tell me which way he went, I’m gonna kill that bastard”<br />“He went that way, he was walking slowly so you might be able to catch him if you run” answered the kid and pointed east.<br />“Alright, he won’t get away from me, thanks kid” I said as I rushed after the bastard<br />“Come back here, you son of a *****” I yelled after the guy was in sight<br />As if my yell was a signal the perpetrator ran at top speed while yelling “Hehe, Catch me if you can, but I warn you, I run 100m in 10 seconds flat”<br />“That’s obviously a lie you bastard, if you are still in my sight, and the distance haven’t lengthened, but shortened instead, you run slower than me, which only makes this a matter of time before I catch you”<br />“Ugh, this bastard” said the culprit under his breath,<br />After a couple of minutes of running, I caught the bastard.<br />“Now, you can hand over my stuff, or you’ll be beaten to death”<br />“Fine, here’s your stuff back, you only have 10 loaves of bread, and a canteen anyway”<br />“Thank you kindly, now get out of my sight, before I mess your face up”<br />Obviously frightened the man ran like the devil was after him.<br />“Yeah, you better run, and don’t let me catch you again”<br />Suddenly I heard a loud sound, and all went black.<br />“Ugh, where am I, it’s all dark and damp, like some kind of dungeon” I was in a dark and empty room, with only a single ray of moonlight coming out of a window blocked with metal bars, a sudden pain from the back of my head, showed that someone had hit me, and then brought me somewhere I don’t know.<br />“So you’re finally awake, eh”<br />“Who’s there?” I yelled out in surprise. An old man’s voice came from the corner of the room, and he approached the moonlight, so I could see his face, contrary to his voice, he was a young man, with a face so handsome that you would like to kill him, so you have one less love rival in the world.<br />“Allow me to introduce myself; I’m just a lowly player who got locked up in here due to a misunderstanding, my name is Virgil, and as you thought this is a dungeon, the royal dungeons to be exact, you probably committed a crime and were caught by the patrols”<br />“But I didn’t commit any crimes, I chased a guy who stole my stuff, and I took it back from him”<br />“Wait, this guy, was he around 176cm tall, had short brown hair, and a dirty face”<br />“Yes, how did you know?”<br />“Because he also stole my stuff”<br />“Wait, wait, wait. Let me get this straight we are both locked up for taking back our items from this guy that stole it from us”<br />“Seems like it”<br />“That’s ridiculous”<br />“Yes it is”<br />“Ugh, this is not how I imagined my new life in RR at all.”

Currently on Hiatus). Possibly a bad idea.<br /><br />Drafted Update Plans (hopefully):<br />A2: To follow Nanowrimo format. 50k words in 5 chapters in 1 month. Aims to write approximately 1,667 words a day.<br />A3: To follow Nanowrimo format. 50k words in 5 chapters in 1 month. Aims to write approximately 1,667 words a day.<br />To be done over January-February, latest March 2014.<br />A4-6: The Main Arc begins? To be spanned over 3 Arcs. Hopefully finished by then. No set deadline as of yet.<br /><br />Other updates:<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">11/05/13</span>: Really, feel free to leave any constructive comments or opinions regarding what I have written. I need criticism to improve the quality of my work. I can do all the editing in the world and I will still miss out something important. There are several aspects that self-reflection will miss that an opinion by an external party can cover. I will do my best to take it in if it makes sense and if it is not blatant flaming.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">28/05/13</span>: I wondered if I had overextended when I started writing the fan fiction in at least 4.5k words per chapter. While it still easily takes me 3 days to write and edit a chapter, I find myself writing larger word counts (Chapter 10 was nearly 7k!!) each time. Perhaps it's something to consider when I'm slowly writing out the revamp; to divide portions into more easily read content. <br /><br />Also, it would be perhaps a bit easier on me if I'm not writing a thesis each time I write out a chapter, so I can easily release more content within a short period of time, and I'll have time to actually do something else (Studying for important end-year exams; perform my current job properly; brainstorm ideas; and my good friend RandomLeech would have a easier time editing my work.). I'll give it a shot.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">02/06/13</span>: About 3 more chapters before I can call it a volume!! I think I can afford to cut down the number of chapters per volume, but I digress. What do you think? Should my chapters have smaller word counts from here? Or should I keep doing what I have been doing?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">23/07/13:</span> Hiatus occurring in earnest. I'm still working on chapters, but I'm feeling really exhausted lately. Also, I'll include a page of contents here for easier reading. (Next/Previous Chapter links per chapter might be included, but I'm pretty lazy). And it's not easy to that kind of formatting with just my blasted mobile =3=<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">31/07/13:</span> Exam preparations have finally reached the last 3 months. This is where I shall disappear, for a period of time. See you after 27/11/2013!!
