MineTree appeared in a flash of light.
He studied his surroundings. Even as the creator of the game he didn’t knew much about it. Not because he couldn′t, he didn′t want do. *Where would be the fun if I knew everything since the beginning?*
He didn′t even knew what features the game had. But what he knew was was that the logic the game followed was nearly the same as the RR from LMS. And that Beth build some training halls where one could gain some stats.
So he made his way to the next NPC.
"Hello Sir. My name is MineTree and I would like to know where I can find the training hall."
"Hello. You must be one of those adventures right?" NPC
"That′s correct Sir." MineTree
"Good. My name is Alf and the training hall is a few hundred meters down the street. Oh and could you do me a favor? I need someone to bring this-" Alf pointed at a big wooden box on the ground next to him "- to the tailor who has a shop right next to the training hall. I tried to get it there myself but it takes too long and I need to go to work to ya know. So would you be kind enough to get it there in my place?"
"Sure. And thank you for your help." said MineTree smiling.
"No, no. I need to thank you. And now go. Ashley is no patient woman. Ha what am I talking about? No woman is patient if it has to do with fashion. Hahaha." Alf laughed as he went his way.
MineTree went to the box and lifted it with both hands. *Damn this is heavy!* (Hell it′s a big box full leather. Sure it is heavy. And I called you a genius...)
The tailor was 500 meters away. A distance he would normally walk in a few minutes but with the heavy box it took him half a hour. He even gained a stat at the way.
*Shoot! I totally forgot to check my stats!*
"Statwindow."
(He got so much Int and Wis because he is a genius...)
"Skillwindow"
*Oh nice. But I will be stuck in this from till I′m at least lvl 10... Well whatever I′ve enough to do till I get to that lvl.*
MineTree had a plan how he would start with his char. He would spend one week RLT(real life time) to train his stats at the training hall and the library and after that get some skills like cooking and grind them for one more week RLT. That means he would spend 10 weeks GT(game time) inside his starting city. *But with the higher skill and stat growth rate I need to change my plans. But well. I will stick to the plan I came up with, if it gets to fast I will just learn more weapon skills. For now let′s get this box to the tailor.*
He entered the tailors shop.
"Hello Jung man. How can I help you?" Asked a old lady and came to greet him.
"Hello miss. I′m here to get this box here to a tailor named Ashly. The Hunter Alf send me." said MineTree with a slight bow.
"Oh. Are these the fox pelts which I ordered?"
"I believe so miss. But all I know is that I need to get this here."
"Alright, alright. Thank you for getting it. Here is your money." said Ashly as she gave him 5 silver coins.
"Thank you miss. I will be going then."
"Good bye."
Mine got out of the tailors shop and went to the training hall right next to it. There he saw that some players already found it. Probably people who read LMS too. Flamingo was one of them.
He went there and looked inside.
What he saw was a gigantic hall filled with thousands of scarecrows and the walls where full of wooden weapons. *Wait. The hall aint large enough to have so many scarecrows. Is it magic?*
He went to the only NPC in the hall and asked him "Hello Sir? May I ask how this place is so big on the inside while the outside is much smaller?"
"Oh, hello. Well I have some friends at the magetower who chanted a small spell so I would have a bit more space." Said the Instructor.
"Thank you Sir. I have one more question. Could you tell me where I can find the heaviest one handed weapon here? But it shouldn′t be too heavy for me to lift."
"Sure. Here." said the Instructor and gave him a big sword. Mine could barely hold it. It was perfect.
"Thank you Sir." He said as he turned to face a scarecrow. But he stopped half way and returned to the instructor.
"What′s wrong pup? Did you forget something?" asked he
"Yeah. My manners. My name is MineTree and thank you for letting me train here."
"Hahaha. Well hello MineTree. My name is Gark. There is no need to thank me."
Mine did a small bow and went to the next scarecrow. The training was really hard at first but after he got the next point in strength it got easier. He really did only need an hour to get the point. After a few hours later he even got a skill
Mine trained for a whole week GT and only logged out to get something to eat or some exercises.
After a week the instructor came to him and told him that he finished the basic training.
"Statwindow."
(10 Str = 1 Atk, 1 Vit = 10 HP, 1 Wis = 10 MP, 1 lvl up= 5 stats + 50 HP + 50 MP)
"Congratulations MineTree. You are the first adventurer who made it through the basic Training. I don’t what to know how you made it in one week and I won’t ask but here is your reward." said the instructor as he gave him an Iron sword.
"Thank you Sir. But would it be possible for me to stay here and train some more?"
"Sure. But you won’t gain more strength. So why would you?"
"I want to learn how to fight with other weapons to. I would like to learn how to fight with two swords, a two-handed one and two two-handed ones."
"Oh. You are one interesting pup. Sure go ahead."
"Thank you Sir."
______________
For the next three weeks Mine trained his swordsmanship with two katanas, a two-handed sword and two two-handed swords. He even gained some stats while training with two two-handed swords. His Character now looks like this:
"Good. Now let′s work on my Int and Wis. I still have enough bread to go for 3 weeks. After that I′ll need to get some money. But first the library."
The library was right next to the castle. A beautiful building. It looked like some antic Roman building with many gravures of fights and wars and some other things Mine couldn′t describe.
He entered the building and went to the counter where an old man who looked kinda like Dumbledore with his long white hair and beard and his half-moon glasses.
"Hello young one. How can I help you?" asked he.
"Hello Sir. I would like to study the history of this city and world." said Mine with a polite bow.
"My, my. Sure go ahead boy."
"Thank you Sir."
Mine spend the whole next week in the library and gained 25 Int and Wis.
He also learned the Identification skill which will be pretty useful.
*Alright. Got some good stats. Now all that is left are some skills.* thought Mine while went out of the library.
His first stop was a restaurant a hundred meters away.
“Morning mam. My name is MineTree and I am in search of some work. Would you know a kitchen where I could gain the cooking skill and some money?” asked Mine with a small bow. (Boy… you bow way too much…)
“Oh my. What a cute little boy you are!-“ (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA something every teen wants to hear xD) “-I′m sure you would be perfect for my kitchen. Just come here tomorrow morning at 7am and I will tell you what you′ll do.” Said the chef smiling wide.
“Thank you miss…?”
“Oh. Where are my manners? My name is Julia Rosewealth but cutie can call my Julia.” She said with a sheepish grin.
“Thanks Miss Julia. Then I will be here at 7 in the morning.” Mine said bowing again….
*Alright. Now I need the repair skill, the tailoring skill and the blacksmithing skill. And once I′m out of the city I will get the mining skill and the first aid skill. But for now let′s stick to the cooking and tailoring. For that I could go to Ashly.*
So Mine went to the tailor shop next to the training hall.
“Miss Ashley? Are you here?” Mine asked, wondering why the shop is so empty.
“…”
*Why is no one here?*
#BOOOOOM!# (Explosion)
“What the f*** was that?!?! That came from the training hall!” Mine ran out of the shop and right into the training hall.
Once inside he couldn’t stop his jaw from falling.
Ashley, the instructor and a small but bulky man lied on the floor. There was the smell of burned hair.
“What happened?” Asked Mine with a raised voice.
“*cough* *cough* Oh MineTree. What a *cough* surprise to see you here. *cough* *cough* *COUGH!* As you can see there was a failed experiment with some enchanted weapon.” Said the instructor.
“Wha- no forget it. Are you alright?” asked Mine
“Well. We are still alive so yeah.” Said Ashley with a small cough.
“Ok. I wont ask more questions. I′ll try to forget what happened…. Ehm. Miss Ashley?”
“Yes sweety?”
“I came here to ask you if you could teach me the art of tailoring.”
“Sure. Come tomorrow evening to my shop. Let′s say at 6pm?”
“Sure thank you!” said Mine (again) with a small bow. “Now I only need a place to spleep.”
“With that I can help you.” Said the instructor. “You can use the backroom of the training hall.”
“Thank you Sir.” Mine. Bow… (That′s the last bow we are gonna see for a while…)
Mine got into the room and sat on the small bed at the end of it.
*Alright. No let′s try the magic stuff. First I need to find the Mana in my body.*
Mine concentrated all his strength in his hand and tried to get more and more strength. He focused so much on his hand and strength that he didn’t even see all the notifications he got.
Slowly a small white ball formed above his hand.
He tried to expand the ball but nothing happened.
#Ding!#
“…”
...
“Wow. That′s what I call an overpowered skill. The other user can be happy that I won’t participate in the aim of the game. Oh yeah. About the aim… Should I tell them what it′s gonna be or wait till they get the requirements and find it out them self. Nah. I′m gonna wait. Now let′s get the skill to level 10 since it levels up so fast. Starting tomorrow I won’t have enough time but I will try to get some elements to.”

Hope you like it.
And yeah. The MC will get pretty OP but I think I will make a PoV from a second person who wont be that strong just to get a balance.
