Someone spoke from within a space enclosed in light.
Following the guide, as soon as he gave his personal information, a red light scanned his body.
Soon after, a character dressed in leather bearing a similar appearance to Hyun-Woo appeared in front of him.
– The state of the appearance shown is scanned from the user. If you wish, you may change your appearance, sex, or race. However be warned, each account is limited to one character. Once the character has been created, you may not alter or delete your character. Please think carefully before deciding.
A limit of one character per account. This was not a rare restriction for a virtual reality game.
Being able to change character appearance in game lessens the sense of physical immersion.
Having always worn glasses he thought his face looked a little strange.
Hyun-Woo contemplated and then adjusted his face structure a little.
He chose the Human race. This was typically a very average choice in most games.
Since he had not selected a profession and did not choose any skills, he would become a human aptitude for all professions.
– Please select your character's name.
"Ark."
It was the name that came to him when he received his unit.
He was using it in a biblical sense. Not because the cocoon round-like appearance reminded him of the Ark, but rather the fact Hyun-Woo's future depended on this Unit. Even if it was tedious, there was no helping it.
– Users of the Human race may choose from four starting locations. Harun, the frontier town of Schudenberg Kingdom, Bristania Kingdom's Changing Lot, and the small Kutran Castle in the Principality of Sinius. No matter which place you select, all the choices were similar. The townspeople are kind to strangers...
"Schudenberg Kingdom's frontier town, Harun."
Schudenberg Kingdom was the closest to the middle of the continent.
– If you would like a more detailed explanation about the New World....
"Skip."
All game have similar introduction such as this.
In the beginning stages actual knowledge about the game doesn't help much.
Above all, experience was the best type of knowledge. After canceling the tutorial, Hyun-Woo was enveloped in a bright light.
At the same time his characters eyes moved and he was absorbed within it.
The novice adventurer, Ark was born.

"What the heck?"
Ark had a bewildered look on his face.
He was surrounded by mountains and mountain villages.
In the village there were around 100 houses surrounded by high barriers.
This must be the beginning town Harun.
However Ark still could not believe his eyes.
'Is this really part of a game?'
He could not believe it. The surrounding mountains. The fences and buildings, even the people who were wandering around...
This was completely different from Computer Graphics. It wasn't something you can see visually.
