Chapter 105 Exploring VR World
[Ding!]
[Do you want to make your ID public or keep it private?]
Rain without hesitation chose to 'keep it private.'
Even though there was no chance that someone would recognize him in his current appearance however Rain didn't want to take a chance.
In the end, you can only alter your appearance by up to 35%.
You can't alter your gender either. Otherwise many people would roam around with different genders.
At the moment, Rain found himself amidst a dense and thriving forest, with no sign of any human presence.
"Let's go to the new city." Rain decided.
He swiftly activated his shadow walk ability and accelerated towards the destination at maximum velocity.
As he made his way through the forest, he felt a gentle breeze brushing past his face, creating a refreshing sensation.
Despite encountering various obstacles on the way, Rain was able to swiftly dodge and maneuver through them with ease as this was not his first experience of running through the forest. He had spent the last two months venturing through various terrains.
Therefore, navigating through the forest was like a walk in the park for him.
Excitement surged through his veins as he exclaimed, "This feels cool!".
After a brief moment, City's infrastructure came into his sight. With his Hawkeye skill, it was easy to locate it.
He increased his speed more.
As Rain approached the city, he noticed a large gate standing at the entrance. The gate was adorned with intricate designs and symbols, and guards stood on either side, inspecting those who wished to enter. As Rain drew closer, the guards noticed him and raised their weapons, ready to defend the city from any potential threats.
Rain held up his hands in a gesture of peace, signaling to the guards that he meant no harm. He approached them slowly, his eyes fixed on their weapons. After a tense moment, one of the guards lowered his weapon and asked, "What's your business in the city?"
"I am an adventurer," replied Rain. "I seek to explore and learn about this great city."
The guard eyed him skeptically for a moment before nodding and stepping aside, allowing Rain to enter.
'They were just NPC. If I had behaved rudely I would have been banned for 1 day from this virtual reality.' Rain knew this beforehand as he read some guides and watched gameplay before entering.
As Rain walked further into the city, he couldn't help but be amazed by what he saw. The city was a mixture of science fiction and magic, with towering skyscrapers that shimmered with advanced technology, and cobblestone streets lined with shops selling potions and enchanted trinkets. Everywhere he looked, there were incredible sights and sounds, from flying cars whizzing past to magical creatures weaving their way through the crowds.
Rain's senses were overwhelmed by the vibrant colors, the sparkling lights, and the constant hum of activity
As he made his way deeper into the city, Rain noticed that the people around him were a mix of races and species. Some were human, while others had pointed ears, wings, or tails. They all seemed to coexist peacefully, interacting with each other in a friendly and welcoming manner.
'Although there are other races in this world, I wonder if they might be here. These people might the ones who like to cosplay.' Rain thought.
While creating a character, it is not possible to change its gender. However, players have the option to add additional features such as tails, wings, and other body modifications to their characters during the creation process.
This allows players to customize their characters to their liking and create unique avatars that reflect their personalities and preferences.
Rain paid no attention to the people around him and headed straight towards the Municipal Corporation building. The building's interior was majestic, but Rain paid it no heed as he made his way toward a beautiful lady standing nearby.
"How can I help you sir?" That beautiful lady asked. However Rain walked past her and stood before one man, he wore the same colored uniform as that beautiful lady.
"How can I help you sir?" The man asked with a smile.
"I want to apply for residency in this city." Rain said in a deep voice.
After entering the city, Rain changed his voice through the system interface. Now there was a very low chance that someone would recognize him.
"From your appearance, I guess you are new to this city, right?" The man said politely.
Rain just nodded.
"Then let me explain the process to become a resident of the city. We offer two kinds of residency: First Temporary, and Second Permanent.
In temporary residency, you won't get any perks, you have to pay corresponding charges per day. It's around 10-20 Gold I guess. It variates in different scenarios.
While in permanent residency, you can get some perks like using the city's facilities at only 10% of the cost. However, you have to buy a house in the city to become a permanent resident." After explaining the man paused for a bit,
"So which one will you choose?" He asked.
"Permanent residency," Rain said without hesitation.
He knew that in long term, being a permanent resident will be useful. The perks he wanted will only come with permanent residency and temporary residency would be expensive in long term.
"Thanks, sir. Your fee is 1 platinum coin." The man said with a smile like a platinum coin was just a meager amount of money.
The man might not know how much value platinum coin has, as he was just NPC. However, the onlookers who were there knew.
Rain had already connected his bank account long ago with the Mythosia world. In a few moments, he paid the payment.
[Payment Successful.]
"Payment Successful. Now you are a permanent resident of Twilight city. Your block number is S-10945. Here is your house's key."
The man handed Rain a card made of platinum. You just have to swipe this card to open the door.
Just like that, Rain left the building.
But onlookers felt that a new bigshot has entered the virtual world.
After coming out, Rain stared at the card for a few moments and stored it in the inventory given by the system.
Soon he thought of accessing the key and he disappeared into the air.
The people who thought of the following Rain were left bewildered.
"He disappeared?"
"Did he just use the house key?"
"He surely is a big shot. Even knows how to use house key."
While these people were chatting, on the other hand, Rain appeared in his new house.
"Being a permanent resident is sure handful. I didn't have to walk till here." Rain murmured. He started scanning his virtual house. It was almost the same as his house on the island.
"Shall we start now?" Rain chuckled. He sat on the sofa and started fiddling with the system surface.
There are many good things in the virtual world, Mythosia.
In the virtual world, people have the opportunity to gather and socialize with others. As time moves at a 10 times faster pace compared to reality, visitors can relax and enjoy their time in this virtual reality.
The one day in reality equals to 10 days of virtual world Mythosia.
However, it is advisable not to spend extended periods in the virtual world, as it can have adverse effects on the brain. It is recommended to limit your stay to one week in real-time.
Furthermore, the virtual world is equipped with advanced technology that can monitor visitors' health and well-being.
If the AI system detects that a visitor requires nutrition, it will automatically inject nutrients into the capsule to meet their needs.
This ensures that visitors can enjoy their stay in the virtual world without any adverse effects on their physical health.
"System. Enter combat space." Upon uttering those words, Rain's surroundings underwent a sudden transformation and he found himself in an arena-like venue that resembled the Roman Colosseum. Despite the grandeur of the setting, the seats surrounding the arena were all empty, devoid of any spectators.
[Do you want to PvP or PvE?]
"PvP."
[Do you like to fight real-time opponents or fight with opponents recorded in data?]
"Recorded in data."
[Please enter the data of your opponent.]
When this tab appeared, Rain started filling details.
Rank: Advanced C rank, on verge of becoming B rank
Weapon: longsword
Skills: Swordsmanship (Advanced), Footwork (Advanced) *press for more details*
[Do you want to create a character's appearance?]
"Sure."
In a few moments, A dark blue-haired handsome boy with black eyes but a tint of silver hue within them was standing before Rain.
[Please name the character.]
"Ken."
Saying this, Rain smirked.
