As tears of happiness appeared in his eyes Zeus jumped up and gave Saria a bone crushing hug only to be thrown away with huge force but that did not stop him for the first time in his life he has own something based on his luck how could he stay silent anymore he was literally dancing and jumping around.Saria coughed loudly for a couple of times to bring Zeus"s attention but he was busy celebrating himself.
Saria shouted out loudly, "ZEUS!!! CALM DOWN AND LISTEN TO ME."
Zeus hearing Saria"s shout calmed down a bit as he spoke, "So does that mean I will be a Deva?"
Saria: "Yes you will but only after reaching Level 11, as upon reaching the said level you will undergo awakening and as such you will gain your racial bonus not before that."
Saria: "As we have already decided your race let us finish with how you look, remember we cannot change more than 20% of your looks."
Zeus nodded as a holographic avatar appeared in front of him, looked exactly like him but with pointed ears and small deer like antlers on his head and his cerulean pupils were a bit serpentine like, he looked at his avatar with squinted eyes as he thought, "Now what should I change."
He changed the hair color to silver and made the antlers turquoise in color as he thought, "It will be difficult to find a helmet with horns like that, oh well, but I think I will keep the rest of my looks just as it is."
Zeus: "Well I hope this much is permissible."
Saria nodded as she spoke, "Yes brave traveler, but I will warn you that this is the form you may take after your awakening before which your ears will be slightly pointed and nothing more. If there is not any more changes to be done shall we move to weapon selections?"
Zeus: "Yes please I do not wish to make any changes, but what is this weapon selection thing?"
Saria: "When I saw the races option you have I understood that you are those blessed beings of your planet, as such you are able to obtain from G.o.ddess of War, Ulene"s personal armory". Saria shed a tear speaking about Ulene and Zeus had the sudden urge to comfort her but he had no wish to be thrown back again.
Saria composed herself as she began speaking, "Unfortunately because of the war most are lost and those that are still present only a few could be used by you at your level."
Zeus: "Well than I would trouble you to escort me to the armory."
Saria nodded as she escorted him to Ulene"s armory, where an awe inspiring statue of Ulene was placed near the entrance, the statue had certain charm on it as it felt that it would move any moment now, the 50 feet tall statue stood with a spear and shield on her hand, "hmmm not bad at all it seemed to have used Greek G.o.ddess Athena as an inspiration."
As he entered he was greeted by less than hundreds different types weapons and many empty racks meant for weapons, but before he could admire with a puff of smoke many of the weapons disappeared.
Zeus asked warily, "Saria, some of those weapons disappeared why?"
Saria spoke with a smile, "The number of weapons are limited as such those that have disappeared have already been chosen by another blessed."
Panic set in Zeus as he quickly scanned the room as he asked Saria, "Is there a way to determine its stats."
Saria, "Just hold a weapon and speak out loudly, "Stats" and all will be revealed."
Zeus raced down as he was greeted by maces, knuckle dusters, wands, staffs, daggers, none of them were his choice of weapons he would have preferred a katana, or a long sword or any sword for the matter but not this until his eyes fell on a sword staff, he picked it up as he screamed out loudly, "STATS!!!"
A blue screen appeared in front of him as the stats appeared to him,
SWORD STAFF
Profession Restriction: None
Tier: Uncommon
Level Requirement: Level 1
Physical Attack: +20
Magic Attack: +20
Durability: 100/100
Zeus spun towards Saria thrusting the weapon towards it as he spoke in a commanding tone, "I want it, and I want it now"
Saria gave a short bow as she spoke, "As you wish, Zeus."
The weapon gave a soft glow as any other copy of it disappeared from armory as it became unavailable to others.
Zeus twirled the staff in his hand, as he studied it, the 4 feet 5 inches long staff can be divided into two parts the sword part a little over 2 feet and the staff part of equal length, the sword end was a straight single edged, with the a metal protrusion supporting the spine which was connected to the guard which had sharpened knife like edged jutting at 90degrees to the sharp edge, the pommel had a small round orb like thing which looked as if it was created from an orange gla.s.s.
Saria: "Is the weapon to your liking."
Zeus nodded as he spoke, "Yes it is, but what is this tier thing mentioned on it."
Saria nodded as she spoke, "Weapons whether it be for warrior, mages, archers or any others, at the end of the day their weapons are categorized in following way.", she produced another parchment as she handed it to Zeus, "This is the list of weapon types and how to identify them."
Zeus unfurled the parchment as he read it,
Weapons, Armors, Rings, Necklaces or any items which are used by wearing them can be separated in to the following tiers. The tier can be identified by appraising them or by their checking their glow of the item, it is as follows:
1) Ordinary(Not an ordinary items are simple everyday items with no stats in them except low durability.)
2) Common Tier
3) Uncommon Tier (White)
4) Rare (Grey)
5) Unique (Black)
6) Lord (Green)
7) King (Blue)
8) Emperor (Purple)
9) Legendary (Orange)
10) Mythical (Silver)
11) Saint (Gold)
12) G.o.d Killer (RED)
Zeus: "Cool, may I keep this parchment."
Saria shrugged as she spoke, "You may but each of them will occupy a single slot from your inventory."
Zeus gawked at her as he spoke, "Excuse me but should it not stack."
Saria: "The current stacking limit is 99 for same type of materials and at the beginning you will only have 20 slots available, but you may increase them as you level up."
Saria: "Well then shall we finish the avatar creation it is time for you to change into it."
Zeus sighed as he nodded as he spoke, "Yes please."
Saria then extended her hand as she chanted, "With the guidance and blessings by G.o.d King Ynor, I the guide of the blessed brave travelers grant pa.s.sage to the one in front of me."
A bright golden glow fell on Zeus making him to close his eyes, as he opened them he found himself standing in a new form and with the clothes he was already wearing his shorts and t-shirt.
Saria on your left hand near the wrist is a black gem imbedded, just raise your left hand and say "Inventory" while looking towards it."
Zeus did as instructed, as a large rectangular box appeared with small boxes he raised his weapon and placed it one of the box, an icon of the weapon appeared on top of the box.
Saria: "You can access your stats page and doing the same way but instead of "Inventory" just say "Stats", unfortunately the command will activate only on Isera, and if you wish to return to Earth just say "Menu", and from there you may return back to Earth."
Zeus nodded at that as Saria kept speaking, "Well I have already explained you everything and you are ready to start your adventure but unfortunately the portal will open exactly after 3 Earth hours so if you have anything to ask you may or if you wish you may return back to Earth if you have an unfinished business."
Zeus: "Well I have some unfinished business as such I will leave for now, so I can just leave using the method you said."
Saria nodded with a kind smile as she spoke, "Yes you may but remember this whatever you have learned is only the basics if you wish to learn more you will have to find out on your own in Isera."
Zeus nodded as he raised his left hand as he spoke, "Menu"
A bunch of options appeared in front of him as he chose the Log Out menu.
The lid of the FEVR opened with a hiss, as he stepped outside it was 3 minutes pa.s.sed 7 o" clock in the evening, he felt as if he woke up from a refreshing sleep.
"Hmm, maybe I should have my dinner early." he left his room as he heard his Grandfather Dominic laughing loudly.
"Evening everyone", he greeted them loudly.
Everyone gave him a small smile as his grandmother Saniyah beckoned him to seat near her as she spoke, "So my cute grandson did you have fun playing the game."
Zeus or as his real name Nathanael spoke with a small pout, "The game has yet to start and I have just finished registering and learning about various things it will start about three hours from now."
Aubrielle, Nathanaels" mother suddenly asked, "What about their claims of full immersion?"
Nathanael, "Well till now I was able to feelings of pain, touch and sounds are there except that I have yet to see anything."
Tristan: "If they have managed to do such a thing may be rest is also true, although a few are already calling them liar."
Nathanael snorted at that as he spoke, "They are just spreading lies and doing negative publicity."
Domince: "So what have you been doing till now."
An exited Nathanael began telling the about his adventure till then for a good half of an hour, before Ryle asked him seriously, "It is good child but what are you going to do with Aimee and Quinn fellow also your so called friends.", causing other to glare at him.
Nathanael sighed as he pushed his blond hairs back as he spoke while looking towards the ceiling, "I do not know to be true, I loved her with everything and till now a part of me does and everything seems like a bad nightmare to me."
Dominic: "If I were in your shoes I would have slugged him hard."
Nathanael just chuckled at that as he spoke, "Believe me grandpa I wanted to punch him so hard his great grandchild would have felt it but at the end of the day it would have made the situation worse. Even if the others retaliated I am confident in my martial arts skill that I could have trounced every single one of them including my P.E. teacher who cannot even run 50 meters without kneeling over wheezing for fresh air, but at the end of the day I would have charged with a.s.sault on student and teacher, even if the Princ.i.p.al is a fair and just against multiple testimonies he would have charged me guilty and punished me, and I would not be surprised if they painted me as some sort of deviant and then the media would get involved who would then paint me as the Satan himself while showing testimonies of people who never knew me like ever."
Isabella snorted as she spoke, "You are not wrong child but since you are not able to decide I hope you do not mind us taking care of it on behalf of you."
Nathanael gave a deadpanned expression as he spoke, "Grandma like you all have not started something on behalf already."
At that they all cracked a smile as Tristan spoke, "Quinn"s father Cameron Carr had applied for membership for Club "Olympus", which was politely declined."
Dominic: "An anonymous tip has caused sudden raid in Cameron"s office and many charges like tax evasion, worker hara.s.sment and many more will be filled within a couple of days and he will be in jail."
Aubrielle: "Some of your ex-friends including your ex-girlfriend had relatives working on some of our companies in various positions internal investigations resulted in evidence pointing towards severe malpractices on their behalf most will be dishonorably fired earning a black mark in their resume getting a new job will be difficult, and the selected few will getting a vacation in Jail."
Isabella: "The P.E. teacher and the History teacher were the ones creating for the most part well the feds have found incriminating evidence regarding illegal drugs and possessing illegal animals as pet oh and they might have a few hidden cameras which gives them a good view of girls and boys dressing rooms."
Nathanael gawked at them as he raised his hands in a surrendering way as he spoke, "I give up and glad you are my family instead of my enemy."
A few hours and a hearty dinner later Nathanael was back inside his capsule as he found himself staring at Saria who spoke with a smile, "Brave traveler, I wish you luck and pray for you success and please save Isera."
With that a bright light engulfed Nathanael, meanwhile back home with others, Aubriella, "Hurry up beloved I wish to see my baby boy."
Tristan spoke with a smile, "Yes yes I am setting it up love be patient."
He raised his wrist as a holographic display showed various options he grabbed one of them and threw it towards the television which began playing everything from Nathanael"s perspective.
The smell of meat being roasted entered his nose as he felt gentle breeze caressing his face, he found himself standing in a square along with a few others who were as amazed as him, he gasped as he muttered in a low voice, "They did it, they have really created like they had promised I cannot believe it."
A melodious voice came to his voice ears, "Welcome to Renaissance city one of the 10 great cities of the Holy Brivaria Empire, first time starter pack has been deposited in your inventory please open it at your discretion and have fun."
Zeus was shocked at what he saw standing inside such a big city as he looked around he saw like him everyone was confused. "Shouldn"t we be sp.a.w.ning near some started village or something like that? Why are we inside some big city?"
Zeus quickly opened his inventory as he watched others raising their left hands, inside one of his inventory slot was a golden chest with various precious stones on it, the words "Special Chest for Platinum capsule user".
He opened the chest as it gave a chime and dazzling light as its contents were deposited inside his inventory.
