The Heretic Chef: Exaworld Online

NieR

Rein's head felt a little dizzy after getting into the game then he tried to open his eyes,

"Where is this?" Rein was surprised to find himself floating in a white room.

Rein looked around, but found nothing but white. He also noticed that his body was now wearing a white shirt and long black pants, he slightly frowned because the clothes he was wearing were very thin and shabby.

Then came a very soft and feminine voice heard in his mind.

『 Welcome to Exaworld Online. 』

『 Scan on retina and blood vessels proves that you are an unregistered user. Do you want to create a new account? 』

Rein was shocked when he heard that, he immediately looked around but found nothing but a white and empty room.

"Yes!"

『 Players can only create one character and players are not allowed to change the name. 』

『 If the player deletes a character then he will have to wait for 30 days to create a new character. 』

『 Please select your character name. 』

"NieR!"

Nier is the opposite of Rein's name, because he used to have trouble making a good In Game Name (IGN), he became upset and he set his IGN by reversing his real name only.

『 Character name has been set as 'NieR'. There are already 2,273,122 players using this name. Are you sure you will continue to use it? 』

"A lot of it..."

Rein frowned, who would have thought that his IGN was so marketable, but he could still accept it. Naturally, out of billions of players one of them uses the same name.

"Stay use!"

『 Your race has been determined as a human being, if you want to change races it can only be done in the game. 』

『 You can change your appearance as much as 10% of the original. 』

A hologram board appears in front of Rein with a variety of buttons and a Rein image in the center.

Rein knows that this feature is only available once in the game so he has to wear it as much as possible. In the game players cannot change their appearance as they want, if they want to change it then they must delete the account and wait for 1 full month.

Rein instantly changed her hair to silver white and changed her eyes to a bright red color.

"Hehehe.., don't I look very handsome?" Rein reflected on the hologram board and then pressed the 'completed' button'.

『 Your account has been activated. Your stats, race, and profession will be determined as long as you play Exaworld. 』

『 Welcome to Exaworld Online and have fun! 』

The white room around Rein turned into a very bright light, the light was blinding his eyes and suddenly Rein felt his body drift to a place unknown.

The floating feeling was suddenly replaced by the feeling of being standing up, Rein immediately tried to open his eyes.

"...What's this!?" Rein looked around in surprise, what he saw was as real as what he saw in his daily life.

Now that Rein was at the edge of a road big enough, he had no idea where this was and here were many people walking around carrying their waist swords.

"Where is this!?"

"is this in the real world?"

'Crazy.. if this is indeed in the game, no wonder they are all crazy about even mentioning this game as a second world.'

Rein looked around and saw that there were many people bargaining in a tavern, some were chatting and laughing together, and some were even showing off and pitting their weapons.

Rein lifted his head and looked at the vast blue sky, before long he found a map that was in the lower right corner of his view.

"So this is in the city of Pafun, Kingdom of Karade. If my memory is not wrong, this kingdom should be inhabited by many newbies..."

Then Rein looked to the upper left of his gaze and found a red bar, it was none other than Hit Point (HP) or arguably as the life of the player because if HP dropped to the number 0 the player would instantly die.

Below the HP bar is a light blue bar, it is a Mana Point (MP) bar. MP is needed by players if they want to use a skill because every skill will definitely use Mana Point.

"Hmm... How do I open the status and inventory window? if it's not wrong..."

"Status!"

『 Status

Name: NieR

Level :0

Class : -

Title: -

HP 300

MP 300

STR : 10

AGI 10

INT :10

Points stat: 0. 』

Rein forgets that his name in this world is Nier, so from today onwards Rein's nickname in the game is Nier.

After seeing his status for quite a while Nier stretched his body with the intention to test his fitness level in this world.

"Hey hey look at that rookie, she reminds me of the first day I played." A man pointed at Nier while patting the shoulder of the friend who was next to him.

"From his clothes he is a beginner, surely this is the first time he plays a Virtual-Reality type game."

"But does it have to do that on the road?" they both saw Nier stretching in the middle of the road and the movement made her the center of attention.

"Dam... I better get out of here." Nier could not help his embarrassment and he walked over to see the city. After more than 30 minutes of walking Nier was more amazed by this game, not only very realistic but also very beautiful.

"It seems like it's time I level up and pick a job."

Mmorpg games should be about adventure, he can not wait to see what kind of monster he will be challenged let alone he also wants to try new powers that have been honed for 7 full months.

Nier decided to go to the adventurer Guild place to receive some quests, he walked over while looking at the always busy market.

Adventurers Guild is a place that players use to receive and also offer various requests. The difficulty level of the Quest itself is divided into several parts, starting from,

F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS.

Quest F is the lowest while SSS is the highest level Quest that is said to be impossible to complete, there are some rumors circulating that SSS level Quest can change the game world itself.

Arriving there Nier was amazed by the luxurious room and he saw many people checking the Quest board, Nier did not care about it and walked straight to the receptionist.

"Is there anything I can help the adventurer master?" The blonde girl who was pretty cute welcomed Nier.

"Enn... Is there a quest I can do?"

Nier asked curiously as this was the first time he had spoken directly to an NPC.

NPC is Non Player Character which means that NPC is not human, he is controlled by super computer developed by Exaworld company, he can talk and think like a human.

But Exaworld seemed to be very good at this, he saw no difference at all if the Girl in front of him was an NPC.

"Well Adventurers, this is a quest we can give at your level." The girl gave some sheets of paper to Nier.

Nier looked at all the papers the girl had given him and sighed softly. The paper was none other than a Quest, but Nier was slightly disappointed that this paper only contained with an F rank Quest.

Nier looked back at the girl who was still waiting for him to choose, "Can I take a higher ranked Quest?"

"No"

Nier scratched his head, the girl in front of him was so cold. He took one of the papers and gave it to the girl.

"I think I'm gonna pick this one."

『 QUEST

Food Ingredient Needs

Rank: F

Finished remarks: Wild Boar Meat (0/10)

Prize: 100 experience points and 15 bronze coins. 』

The blonde girl nodded and stuffed the paper Nier had chosen into the brown box.

"Observe the heart of adventurers, may your mission be successful."

Nier nodded then continued on his way to the hunting grounds.

* * *

Nier had walked in the forest for 15 minutes he had set foot in this forest, but he still had not seen the Wild Boar.

However, with such a green atmosphere and refreshing aroma, Nier found this quite pleasant. After a few minutes of walking he finally saw a Wild Boar.

"Inventory!"

Nier saw that there was only 1 short sword and some food in his Inventory just like what Rudi said back then, Nier took the sword and looked at its status.

『 Short Sword's

Rating: Normal

ATK :+3

Durability :30. 』

Nier swung his new weapon with a technique he used often, he smiled with satisfaction because the sword felt very fitting in his hand. Then Nier looked at the Wild Boar.

Nier grinned while stroking his sword.

"It's time to see the results of my training all along. Let's Party!"
