2024-10-29 19:42:56All the work related to the hand pump was completed and all that was left was the inauguration ceremony from when It would be officially in use, and it seemed like his quest would also be completed when the announcement is made.
Every player was only allowed to play 15 hours a day in real-time considering that players wouldn't play the game excessively ignoring real life.
There was still a lot of time before his log-out period would end.
Mike had only played for 8 hours in real life which was equivalent to a day in-game, which meant that he still had another 7 hours till he would be forcefully logged out.
"Well then, Shall we go hunting in meantime"
He was oddly excited as it was his first time playing a game in a VR, the last time he remembered playing a game was on PC, so everything felt new and interesting.
Mike was imagining just how it would feel to fight in VR. Of course, he had tried various technologies when he was a great figure but nothing he had seen was anywhere close to Genesis.
He remembered that the notification said that they had to receive a weapon from the training grounds so he was currently on his way there.
It wasn't that far as the Village itself was a small place, Just walking two hundred meters straight from the workshop and 300 meters to the right was the training ground.
The training ground was bustling with players, unlike the Workshop since everyone whether a lifestyle player or a combat-based one, would visit there at least once to receive the weapons.
It had giant gates, and dummies made of hay and covered with a cloth.
Many players were hitting the dummies with various weapons like Sword, spears, bows, etc
Kaiser looked at them for a movement but left shortly as it was too boring, he went towards a man who was standing crossing his hands near the dummies and yelling at the players.
"Hello, I am Mike, Can I receive a weapon"
The man eyed Kaiser, his eyes contained disdain as he scoffed at him but anyway asked him what he want.
"Which one do you want?"
Mike also got frustrated seeing someone scoffing at him without a reason but he held it in as he didn’t want to quarell with an NPC.
"Hmm.....A sword would suffice"
"here"
The man just threw a sword at him and turned around not even giving him a second glance.
Ding!
<You have received basic training Sword>
Mike caught the sword.
The sword handle was made of wood connected by a black iron blade.
The condition was poor which was visible to the eyes as the edges were so dull that they couldn't even cut a dead man's nose.
______________
<Basic Training Sword>
A sword that was used by the soldiers which then donated to the training grounds to help the 'Outsiders'.
effect : attack +1
_____________
Anyway, Mike put it inside his inventory and went away.
He neither had any reason nor any thought of talking to the rude NPC more than needed.
***
On the outskirts of the Village.
Mike looked at the monsters that were being massacred mercilessly by the players.
They were mostly cute animals like rabbits and a weak chicken which were level two and one respectively.
Mike looked at the players who were easily killing those cute animals.
"Tsk! tsk! Killing weaklings is not my style"
Mike who was once a great figure was arrogant to his bones, no matter what his situation now was, his arrogance was the same.
The pride of the strong didn't allow him to look at those weak animals, he crossed the zone where the chicken and rabbits were, reaching the lv.5 wild fox zone.
There were red foxes with a white fur line along their back, they were wandering around through the field.
"Now, It has to be at least that strong!"
Mike said as he smilingly looked at the fox that was roaming in his field of vision and took out his sword.
He ran towards the fox and jumped on it slashing his sword.
The fool still didn't know that the level difference between him who was lv.2 and the fox which was lv.5 was too great.
What's more the idiot even forgot to distribute his free stat points in the status.
and the result...
Slash!
The fox slashed its sharp claws at him who was completely unguarded.
plop.
And that was enough to send him back to beginning point!
<You have died>
The notification greeted the Mike who was hovering in the form of a transparent ghost.
<You have lost a part of your experiance>
<Your level is reduced by one>
<Your level has decreased to lv. 1>
<The resurrection point has not been set! You will be teleported to the nearest temple>
The notification faded as he disappeared from there.
....
Mike appeared at the Sun Temple of the Village with a complete bewildered expression on his face.
<You have died>
<The first death of the day penalty will take effect>
<You will be under 50% reduction of speed for two hours inside the game>
<Caution: you will be logged out of the game and will not be able to log in for 24 hours if you die a second time in a day>
He who thought himself as strong was beaten one-sidedly; what’s more, he died in a single hit!
He thought the game would be like when he played on PC and would do all the work if he just did initiate the attack.
but he was seriously mistaken.!
In Genesis, You have to do everything on your own, be it battle Or anything else. The stats were not the only thing that mattered!
The skill of the player in how he utilizes those stats was more important.
"Fu*k, that's why I hate fighting!"
Mike who now lost his motivation to hunt went towards the workshop and shut himself in.
He was truly a noob to the bone!

Mike who shut himself in the Workshop for more than an hour in-game came out noticing the inauguration is going to start.The first death penalty which decreased his movement speed by 50% for two hours was still in effect.Players were only allowed to play the game for 15 hours a day on which only one death was allowed, and after the first death, the user would be penalized with a huge 50% decrease in movement speed for two hours after the resurrection and if they die a second time, the person wouldn't be able to log in to the game for the next 12 hours in a real-time, which was quite a harsh penalty, since a day in real life would mean three days in Genesis, it would mean restriction for one and half days in-game.Currently, Mike with his measly 3 points in dexterity along with the -50% speed penalty, was slow as a turtle.But even then, during the time he was in the Workshop he was analyzing the different machines there. It didn't give him exp or anything, but it was oddly satisfyi
Genesis: Tale of a Jobless Engineer Chapter 11 - Man behind Genesis
Shigeru Miyamoto was the core of the team of 41 scientists who built the virtual reality system and was the person who led the development of Genesis by establishing the New Era Group.He had many titles: the creator of the virtual reality system, the person who changed the world, the father of Genesis, the wealthiest man in the nation, one of the most influential figures in the world, and many more.His countless titles meant that he received the spotlight every time he attended international events, and his influence transcended the American president, making him the world's envy.Yet in fact, his life wasn't as flashy as discussed in the media. He was the head of Genesis's development team as well as head of the New Era Group, so he slept less than four hours a day on average. Despite all that, was he unhappy? No, it was something he wanted for himself. "When passion becomes a profession, the World will look small to rule", That was what he said in one of his interviews.Shigeru M

‘What happened at that time was something that someone among my the Taylor siblings did.’ As Vincent Taylor confirmed, there is no doubt about it. In such a situation, he has nothing to worry about his siblings as Teressa said that she would take responsibility and make it so that there would be no eyes on him for about a year. Of course, unexpected threats can suddenly emerge somewhere. Just like the downtown incident a while ago. Then, should he move with all these situations in mind? Of course, that’s right. However, being cautious and hiding like a coward are completely different things. ‘Just because you have that in mind, you can’t just sit and crouch down inside the room.’ Anyway, Roger has to grow. The further he goes and the stronger he becomes, the more naturally he will be free from these threats. ‘I can’t help it until then.’ Therefore, the path he chose was to catch more and more people’s eyes. ‘Star disease?
