Hours passed and soon enough the sun started rising once more on the town of Forks, though it could'nt be seen anywhere in the sky, almost always covered in the dark clouds that seemed to be ready to start a downpour almost at any moment, the thick fog of the morning rolling through the town and the forests around it. Whilst the chirping of the forest birds could already be heard as they woke up whilst the nocturnal animals went back to sleep.
The smell of the forest permeated the entire town and its surrounding areas, drops of morning dew falling from grass and tree leafs.
It was inside this town that in a small apartment, Alan Walker woke up slowly, groggily as he released a large yawn.
Rising up from his bed, still in his clothes from yesterday, he felt his body hurting all over from having slept in an uncomfortable position.
Looking around, all he could see was a blur of shapes, confusing going through his mind at first as he didnt realise where he was and what was happening but that was only for a moment before his mind cleared itself and he realised the actual reason as to what was happening.
'Right, I almost completely forgot that happened yesterday.' Alan thought before releasing a sigh as he slowly rose up completely and stood on his feet by the edge of the bed, having to do so carefully, he had afterall noticed that without his glasses, the combination of agility and perception made it much harder to not simply slip and fall down onto his face at any moment in time.
'But at the same time, with all the times that i slipped yesterday before I got these glasses from them… I should have alteast fallen once, but I didn't… I somehow got lucky and managed to gather my feet at the last moment. Is that an influence of the Luck stat?' Alan thought to himself as he released another sigh, his shoulders slumping for a moment before he shook his head and turned his gaze towards the bed, at the side of which he had placed his glasses yesterday.
Taking the prescription glasses into his hands and swiftly placing them over his nose, he heard a sound that seemed to come from inside his own mind.
*Ding*
[ User has Equipped Item : Prescription Glasses ]
[ Status Effect ]
[ Perception +2 ]
As soon as the notification rang in his head, he felt his vision significantly cleared, the details finally coming into his view.
'Thank god that this actually works, If it hadn't I'd be stuck without ever even knowing what I was doing.' Alan thought to himself. It was at that moment as those thoughts were passing through his mind that something else changed, a change that took him by complete surprise.
*Ding*
[ System Tutorial Day has been completed ]
[ Opening up Basic System Funcitons ]
[ System Dungeon has been opened ]
[ System Shop has been opened ]
Alan's eyes widened as he gazed at the holographic screens that appeared before him, floating in the air, his eys quickly looking over what was written on them and then further widening in pure shock.
'Tutorial day? Further options? Dungeons? Shop?' Alan thought as his mind quickly whirled into action, intaking the information quickly and working to form theories about what they were.
'Dungeon… this really is like my Life has turned into a Video game, does that mean that I will go into them and have to fight Monsters?' Alan thought as he quickly pressed the X button at the edges of the System panels, dismissing them from his view.
'Dungeon?' Alan thought in his mind and lo and behold, a new system panel appeared before him.
[ System Dungeon's ]
[ Dummy Dungeon ] [ Level 0 ]
[ ???? Dungeon ] [ Level 5 ]
[ ???? Dungeon ] [ Level 50 ]
[ ???? Dungeon ] [ Level 100 ]
….
Looking at the system panel that almost seemed to go on for forever, Alan felt both relieved and at the same time felt like the world had hit him with another never ending problem. Something that seemed to be happening a lot since yesterday.
'Alright, so the first Dungeon, is a Dummy dungeon… It'll likely be the way that i gain experience points? The further dungeons cannot even be viewed and I can't even see their names, likely until I get to the required Level. The only question now is whether I head in instantly or wait and somehow prepare? But how can I prepare for something that I dont even know… I have absolutely no clues on what could possibly be inside there, It says Dummy dungeon but… considering this is entirely supernatural, it's a damn real life Video Game system afterall…. Fuck. Fine, let's just check the System shop first and then I can have an anxiety attack about this after.' Alan thought before releasing what he felt was his hundredth sigh of the day, even though he had only woken up a few minutes ago.
'System Shop' Alan thought and instantly, the System Dungeon Holographic panel disappeared and was replaced by another one.
[ System Shop ] [ Level 1 ]
[ Equipment ]
[ Items ]
[ Potions ]
The holographic screen was rather simple, it showed the title, the level aswell as three sub categories inside of it.
'Level one, clearly its something that can be leveled up. Alright, let's just check each category one at a time' Alan thought as he lifted his hand and clicked on the first sub-category with his finger.
[ Equipments ]
[ Basic Wooden Baseball Bat ] [ Level 1 ] [ 5 Bronze Coins ]
[ Basic Leather Helmet ] [ Level 1 ] [ 5 Bronze Coins ]
[ Basic Leather Chestplate ] [ Level 1 ] [ 5 Bronze Coins ]
[ Basic Leather Leggings ] [ Level 1 ] [ 5 Bronze Coins ]
[ Basic Leather Boots ] [ Level 1 ] [ 5 Bronze Coins ]
There were only five options that were available in the store, each of them was level one and cost five bronze coins.
'Leather gear and a wooden baseball bat? Thats self explanatory but bronze coins? What are those? Its the currency but the question is how do I gain it? Likely a reward for completing a dungeon?' Alan thought as his eyes moved to the other categories in the system shop.
