A day after the chaos, 7.30 a.m.
The sun peeked into the window of Scythe's rented room, lighting up his hair like a fiery halo. The sunlight bathed his skin as he lay on his side. Scythe tried to close his eyes, what had happened yesterday was something he did not wanted to deal with today. Thoughts was biting at his brain, forbidding Scythe to go back to sleep again. Scythe let out a big yawn while trying to find his phone to check if there were any messages he might had missed. After a quick moment, he finally realized that he was in a virtual world now which is a world where phone did not exist.
Scythe puts on his armor and places his small blade into the scabbard on the waistband. Scythe decided that today he will try to find out more useful information about this virtual world he was trapped in. Scythe left his room and the room key in his inventory automatically disappeared as it means the time for the use of the room was up. The atmosphere in the inn was no different from yesterday night as the dining area was still filled with NPCs and players. Scythe found an empty table and pulled out a chair to sit on it, after that he did a sweeping motion using his finger to bring out the user interface so he could check on the skills available to learn.
Weapon & armor forging, gathering, tracking, negotiations, lockpicking etc... There were tons of skills listed inside the box in the user interface, some of them were even appeared as questions mark("?????"). This world was more complicated than what Scythe had in his mind. While he was reading the list, he sometimes heard other players from the other table talking to each other, which let Scythe to have a chance to gain some good information about this world. "I heard that a lot of beta testers were being contempt by the other players because most of the beta testers do not share information with the other.", after a short while he heard another conversation coming from the opposite table. "Hey, you should complete the quest <<Secret Medicine of the Forest>> as it will gives you a good stat weapon!".
Scythe could just sit here and gathers all the infomation he needed to know more about Aincrad. But to fight only on paper was not enough as action speaks louder than words. Scythe went straight to the Field of Crossroads, hoping that he would be able to level up a few times so he could complete the quest easily.
