Walking to the brimming Beginner's Village street.
Many can see Players who only wear ragged clothes like real beggars.
Arthur who been walking to the street saw a Player tried to negotiate with the Npc yet failed. He begun to observe the Players and saw many of them already Level 2 that day. Looking to those Laborers... Players, he could not help but to laugh.
Arthur acted like an normal Npc not bothering the others, some scanned him and saw a disappointing faces
Npc: Timothy Star
Level: 3
Status : Normal
Occupation :Commoner
Looking to his level, they already know the Npc is a weakling. No one bothered to greet him and did not even mind their attitudes yet for those Npc that saw the disrespect toward their King, they secretly lower their favorability without noticing it.
Entering to a dark alley way, the Npc actors greeted him as he continue went to a secret door-way heading to the underground place.
Seeing the thieves and assassins Npc having fun downstairs, he smiled and greeted them as they greeted them back. The Npc knows that their Majesty's identity needed to be hidden and treating him as equals like friends.
Going into the lounge room, he saw numerous Npc resting and even having fun while eating or talking to each other.
"Greetings Sir Timothy!" many waved their hands to him as he get some food like a newly made food called pop-corn. This new food brought joy to many ages.
"This Pop-corn is truly delicious!" One of the Npc Chef actors heard the Players talking about Pop-corn which made his curiosity grew. He learned that how pop-corns work and experimented it and worlds. He now create the Pop-corn and share it to others.
After he finish eating, he went outside "Should I give a secret quest?" Being bored just to observe the Players, he planned an role for him to play.
Fire_Lord who is earning plenty copper coins in few hours, he is now capable to buy a common shirt and short for 30 copper coins. He even question why did they have no weapons suddenly he saw an Npc which have no title and only displayed commoner.
Fire_Lord only saw an occupations as a commoner, every Npc he met have a occupation such as Blacksmith, noble, beggar or even a farmer. He went closer and wanted to talk to him but suddenly Npc named Timothy stare at him.
Timothy (Arthur) smiled as an Player wanted to communicate with him "Hello there my friend, are you lost?" Fire_Lord spoke to Timothy, seeing this, a role play been quickly thought as he act the role of being a lost person "Oh, yes I got suddenly lost, can you help me find my way back?" Timothy showed a screen displaying the quest of helping him.
Quest: Help Timothy
Reward: ?
Seeing the quest made Fire_Lord surprise and let out a smile "Off course!" Activating the quest, he asked Timothy.
"Do you remember anything that can help you find your way back? Asking the Npc Timothy.
"Uhmm, I don't know but will you follow me just in case?" the Npc answered.
"Sure!" Following Timothy, they went to the farm area, going to the market district, Timothy gave him another quest.
Chain Quest: Buy a meal for Timothy
Reward: Favorability +4
Excited, Fire_Lord bought a meal worth 10 copper coins and rewarded by +4 points.
Following Timothy, it has been a few minutes and could not help to be confused. He saw a dark alley way filled with beggars, not knowing what to do, he stare to the Npc Timothy but only to saw a sad face when staring to those beggars.
Suddenly a stream of information come to him and remembered some quests are mysterious.
He went to the beggars and gave them food to eat. The beggars thanked him and even kneeling to the ground. Embarrass and just tried to help them, he felt happy.
On the other hand, Tim tried to hold his laugh for seeing a noble who name count Kristof's performance of begging. Born in rich family yet acting like a beggar and even its emotions went over the top.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Snot and tears filled the beggar who is Count Kristof. The other beggar actors could not help to be shock by the sudden deep acting he made. They knew Kristof is a friendly man and helped the people developing the village yet he always have elegant posture and demeanor and even having a hard time to act a true beggar in the past.
Seeing his acting, the others gave a thumbs up and continue to act.
"Count Kristof... You really surprise me" he silently spoke as he observe Fire_Lord' s actions.
"It's okay, it's okay" he tried to calm him down and also scan his information.
Npc: Christopher
Level: 10
Status: Gratitude, praise, thankful
Occupation: Beggar
Seeing the level of the beggar, his eyes widen. ' how does a level five Npc is a beggar?' he saw earlier a blacksmith who is only 4 and even a guard only reach 6
But suddenly remebered all of this been planned by the Npc Timothy, his curiosity grew even more.
"Lets go" Timothy told him as they moved on the streets.
Venturing the street of Beginner's village, they arrive to a quiet spot. Stopping, Timothy asked with a serious face.
"Do you know why there are many beggars across this village?" he questioned Fire_Lord who is taken back.
Not knowing the answer, he randomly said "Is it corrupted nobles?" Knowing that every fantasy games, there are corrupted nobles who gave higher pays and extorting the poor. He saw the game website that the game called Overkust but he didn't saw any videos except a picture of a lively town. There is nothing displayed except it is a game that mysteriously appeared and got attract by many gamers.
But he was surprised to get the wrong answer and afraid that he failed yet he heard Timothy words.
"Wrong my child, it is not the cause of politics or corrupt nobles" this words impact to Fire_Lord to the brim. He never thought Npc can interact and even understand what the Players said and not just following the plot like in many games.
"Do you know what Fairy Tale Beasts are?" another question suddenly appeared whihc made him nervous.
"Are those fairy tales like fairies, mermaids?" afraid that his answers are wrong, Timothy nodded at him.
"Correct, they are like fairies and mermaids, can you explain more?" another answer again!
"Are they creatures who help humans?" His critical thinking stop.
"No!" hearing this, he bitterly sighed 'Sigh did I failed the quest' understanding when a quest failed, the Npc will be mad or lost hope to the Players and either start gain or the other.
"Fairy Tale Beasts are monster who only think humans as food, they made flesh into clothes, bones into decorations and even steal children for them to torture!" Timothy's eye were red and he felt the anger inside the Npc as he keep him talking.
After the crying, Timothy quickly went back to normal which one can tell that they are truly Npc with commands.
"Here is a wooden sword, you can hunt animals near the forest, I wish you Good luck " Timothy casually left, the Npc actors who are inside their houses saw what Timothy do and went silence.
Fire_Lord who also got silent and just become happy as he receive the reward.
Taking out the wooden sword and saw the notification.
"You are the first one to unlock the Main story line. Reward: 50 experience points." He was happy and finally forget the awkward Npc.
