The Early Online Dream

Episode 3 of Anggelia Church

The appearance of the city of Duran is similar to the appearance of a 17th-century city on the European continent but in a version that is more pleasant to the eye. The population in Duran is estimated to reach 3 million people with the average of them being Merchants and Forges.

The city of Duran is basically divided by 5 regions North, South, West, East and Central. Like a region in general, the central area in the middle of the city is the government area of Duran city is also an area for most of the elite people or nobles of Duran live.

The city of Duran is led by a democratically elected governor through a general election. Elections are held every 10 years and the 2 people who have the most votes will be the Governor and Deputy Governor who will be appointed directly by the King of the region in this case because Duran is part of the Philotas, King Philotas, appointed the new Governor and Deputy Governor.

Lara is now in the southern part of Duran and has marked the nearest church as well as one of the largest in Duran. On her way, Lara discovers that there are many soldiers on guard and patrol wearing clothes like a crusader during the crusade. Lara thought for the soldiers to walk in the middle of the city with a considerable amount of it indicates that something is happening in Duran.

Lara could not guess what was happening but she became a little wary.Some of the soldiers observed her but after a while they took their eyes off her and did their job back. Lara did not go directly to her destination she checked out some shops that she found interesting to visit.

Lara continued to move from store to store, although in the end she was still expelled by her merchants because of her appearance that disturbed the customers who came, even though she was still evicted by the merchants, even so it is not kapok and continues to move from one store to another type of store.

After several hours of touring Lara finally arrived at the place she had marked before. The large church that was in front of him now looked extremely majestic, luxurious and artistic. The appearance of the Church is very striking from other buildings, not only its size makes it very striking but its appearance in general is very different from other buildings around it.

A very graceful statue of a woman looking up at the sky with her hands raised caught Lara's attention . he had seen it on the internet and recognized it as a statue of the woman as a statue of the Lunar Goddess which is one of the offerings for the people of Duran.

Lara entered the church unlike in the Dojo she was well received by the church guard paladins and nuns who worked in the church. Everyone smiled at him and gave him a blessing for safety. In Lara's heart she kind of dislikes their fake smile, but even though lara doesn't like it she can still accept it, at least they're better than the merchant and dojo guards she's met before.

Seeing the Reverend standing alone not far from her unceremoniously Lara immediately approached him revealing his intentions, but out of fear of being immediately rejected Lara preferred the right words to start the conversation.

‘’Pak Reverend can I apply to become a Student church?’’ Lara did not immediately say she chose to become a paladin because basically before she became a paladin she had to become a Student first as stated in the official website Dream Online.

This type of work is the most basic type of work in the Dream before a player chooses their first job. the type of work there is a lot depending on what purpose they want to be after as an example if someone wants to become a paladin he must first become a student or if someone wants to become a warior then he is you have to be a beginner first.

Hearing Lara speaking to be a Student in the church, the Pastor became mute then looked around and replied to Lara's request.

‘’What I want to destroy this church go ..go...we do not accept you’’ said the Reverend and signaled to the Paladin who was on guard to expel Lara by force.

Of course since it was the Reverend's order, the paladins on guard directly surrounded Lara some stood in front of the Priestess to protect her, they then placed their hands on the hilt of a mace or sword at their respective waists.

‘’Haha.. well.. I understand Pastor I will be leaving soon.light but not light’’lara says that phrase to say that they are hypocrites in front of all Jamaats who come

‘’Devil don't talk carelessly!! ’’shouts the Reverend along with that the guarding Paladins directly surround lara and point their weapons at lara because lara's body is higher they are forced to look up and lift their swords upwards pointing to lara's face

‘’Pak Reverend then please forgive this demon, please, he would retreat and leave peacefully’’ Lara immediately retreated and heard that the Priestess was shocked then she became embarrassed as many of the worshippers saw her and some even whispered bad things about her. Seeing Lara go out the Reverend turned around to go inside the back room with a feeling of anger.

Lara came out feeling a little disappointed but she was prepared to be rejected and decided not to give up Lara tried to go to various places to take her basic Job but wherever she went she was always in the raw rejectedraw and several times he was even put to gun by the guards.After touring almost the entire southern city of Duran he finally gave up looking for a place to accept him.

Lara was tired after a day without the results of her drink was exhausted, her inventory only contained 1 copper, 5 dark bread and 1 empty container of water.

Lara sat on a wooden chair and looked at the bridge with many people going back and forth on it. Because he was tired he finally closed his eyes, from the front someone walked up to him and then sat right next to him.

Lara opened her eyes she saw a Priestess beside her who then spoke to her.

‘’Beautiful day’’ said invite lara to talk

‘’Sial?. what happened?’’ The pastor became interested and asked

‘’I came to the dojo and their guards kicked me out, I wanted to learn to be a Knight in Miltia but they also kicked me out even almost killed me I came to all the churches to become a Paladin but those damn Priestesses kept driving me away.

''Here I am now exhausted, thirsty and hungry’’ continued lara told her sad story to the Reverend.

‘’Why did the Reverend reject you?’’ ask the priest to see Lara

‘’What else besides my appearance that is below his standard’’ said a short lara and felt that the Reverend was a bit stupid.

‘’Haha..he's just a stupid Pastor, I've actually been following you’’

‘’I know’’ said Lara who made the Priest surprised and spoke

‘’Interesting..your senses are sharp enough you are not like an ordinary’’ praise the Reverend and a little surprised.

‘’aku was orphaned and with a face like this how do I live?’’ lara said in a mocking tone and lied a little.

‘’I understand... if you want to be a paladin you can come with me’’, the Reverend told Lara.

‘’are you serious?’’ Lara felt that there was something the Priest had hidden and with a single glance knew that there was something the Priestess was hiding that was now looking at her.

‘’I understand it seems like my intention is not sincere I will tell you the truth when we get to church ’’ said the Reverend as he walked to a place and lara followed behind

He watched around and the movement of the Pastor walking in front of him led him to a place that he said was Lara church looking at the pastor's back which was quite wide but certainly not as wide as Lara's back with a body like a giant.

When walking following Pastor Lara did not forget to observe the surrounding and now he has been in the poor corner village in the southern city of Duran.

This poor village area is not visible from the outside, achieving it is quite difficult if lara does not try he will not remember where he has walked.

Lara felt that this area was deliberately covered by the city government by building tall buildings in front of her and dizzying little roads and alleys.

As in the Poor area in general around seen a lot of garbage piling up on the other side many of its citizens who seem busy looking for something from the pile.

Lara could clearly see many residents around the residents who were stricken with skin diseases that lara said was a contagious disease.

Finding this is a lot like looking at his own world, according to him what is displayed in this game is a clear picture of the state of his world actually.

When the pastor stopped and stopped he kept his distance from him and still could not believe him 100%. The pastor looked somewhere and because there was no danger to see where the Pastor was looking

‘’This is Angelia’’ church said the Reverend

Lara does not know too much about the Gods in the game, she just knows her name and a little information in it. Lara knew Anggelia was one of the goddesses other than Lunar but that was the only information Lara knew now for other information lara did not know at all.
