It was really hard for Maribel to focus in class today. Her mind was too busy, daydreaming about the new game that she had just got. She stared at the clock as the teacher continued to lecture about... What class was she even in again? Oh, it doesn't matter. It was the last class of the day and there was only a few minutes left before freedom.
After the teacher had given them their homework assignment for the night, the bell rang, officially letting them loose for the day. She quickly packed all of her stuff into her bag, and said goodbye to all of her friends. Normally, she would stay back and socialize, but not this time. She raced back home, not even taking a short break to catch her breath. When she got home, she greeted her grandmother with a kiss on the cheek then ran upstairs to her room. She still had a few hours, but she needed to finish all of her homework if she wanted to play to her heart's content tonight. If she did not maintain her grades this semester, her parents would personally fly back from Brazil or wherever they were, just to lecture her and give her the grounding of a lifetime.
First she had to do math, which was simple enough. She only had to do a few problems from the book. Next she would have to write her history essay. Lastly she would do her chemistry lab write up. She still had to read a book, but she figured she could do that tomorrow morning during breakfast and lunch.
One homework montage later, Maribel somehow managed to finish her homework with half an hour to spare. She used this extra time to take a short 5-minute shower and eat dinner.
At 4:59, it was finally time. Maribel got herself comfortable on her bed and put on her VR helmet. She took a deep breath before starting the system. As soon as it was 5:00, the game began to start. She found herself at the character creation page and began to make her character. She had to make herself cute and pink hair if it was optional was a must. Once she was satisfied, she finished her character and filled out the rest of her user information.
Arriving at last at the beautiful Town of Beginnings, she decided to accept the tutorial quest; it was there for a reason right? Mari_Hime zipped through all the basic menu stuffs and what not. Eventually, she got the chance to do some fighting. It was kind of annoying that it was an item drop collecting quest though.
"This is going to take a while..." she sighed.
The fighting mechanism was not too hard to figure out and she found that she didn't really need the pop up tutorials that much. The dagger was not as long compared to a sword, but Mari liked the light weight of it. It was actually more challenging finding a boar that was not already being slaughtered by some other player.
An hour or so of boar hunting later, Mari_Hime finally finished the quest. When collecting the reward, she suddenly remembered that she was supposed to add her friend Angel! They had been talking about playing ARE since the announcement for it came out. She sent a friend request to
Distrugerea_Inger, knowing that her friend always used that name for all the games she plays, along with a PM.
