"

The introduction of Summerset.

"
The breath of a new type of air. Light of different type of sun. The chance to change the future. The life of an amateur was at the brink. Hero walked through the gates of Summerset to enter it. And it was the most glorious thing Hero had ever seen. There were lots of wood made houses with slanted roofs, all of which decorated with a few windows on it. There were small creatures running and playing. Large creature doing their own work. There were although the way to summerset was filled with trees, not much prevailed here. But it was lively enough to call a hub.

"First things first." Said Hero to himself and searched for the closest inn. He found the inn which was quite close. There wasn't much decoration there except a large board hanging by chains with the words "INN" on it. Hero made his way into the inn and saw a whole lot of things. From baby dragons sitting on the laps of wizards to busty bartenders. From singing skeletons to dancing giant rats.

Hero headed straight for the inn keeper who he was able to find very easily because he could see her name above her head. He walked up to her and spoke.
 
"Hello there, I am looking to set up my home town in this lovely town. For it reeks of adventure, gold and glory." Said Hero, He looked directly at the face of the woman. She was very busty and her skin was wrinkled. She took a few seconds to look at him and said "Alright alright, here you go.". Suddenly everything paused and a warning block appeared in front of him. It had the words "Are you sure you want to set this place as your home town." Bellow it was two options, one was "Yes" the other was "No". Hero pressed yes and suddenly everyone started doing what they were.

"There you go, now you need anything else?" Asked the inn keeper. "No, not at the moment." Said Hero and left the inn. 

Hero had no idea what to do. He stood in the middle of the city not knowing time of day. What does he do, where does he go, who does he talk to. He didn't have the slightest clue. He kept walking around the town looking for any sort of trouble. But he couldn't find one. But this did give him time to enjoy the graphics. everything was very beautiful. From the green grass to the blue sky to old man pooping inside a hole he dug, what? where else does he poop, he's poor.

After a while of doing noting particular Hero came across a bulletin board. He was very glad now. But he was a little confused why there was only one request on it. But he looked at it and started reading it. On it was written "My name is T.G, and I'm here to help you. If anyone need assistance in finding what is what and where is where I'm the guy you come to. I'll be next to the grand oak tree." Although Hero was disappointed, he now knew where to go. He didn't wait much longer. He took out the map and headed for the grand tree.

Once he reached there the only person he saw was the person he directed himself to. Hero walked over to him and said " Are you T.G?"
"Why yes, I am Tutorial Guy." Hero gave a condescending look and continued. "I need a help around the town, I need to know where to go next to become a hero."
 
"Of coarse I can tell you that. But first you have to sit through my other eight hundred tutorials" Said the T.G. "Oh crap." Replied Hero. And then had to keep clicking next for the next minute until he found one tutorial he wanted to see. 

"Now, let show you the people that live here." Said T.G. Now Hero listened closely. "That right there is Anglia." Said T.G. He was then interrupted by Hero. "Can I romance her?" Asked Hero. "She was two children." Said T.G in a confused voice. "Is that a yes or a no?" After that followed the opinion that Hero had of all the people that T.G showed him. "Too tall, too short, too ugly, she's a dwarf, that's a guy, not that I have a problem with that."
 
After that there wasn't much information that kept Hero interested. But soon T.G did speak about continuing the plot. It turned out Hero needed to be level three to start doing quests.

"How do I get to level three with out doing quests?" Asked Hero. "There's a training field. You can head there." Replied T.G. Hero didn't wait any longer. He ran towards the training field after looking it up. He got there quite quickly since he had gotten the running shoes after his tutorial.

Hero got there to his surprise He assumed there would someone there to train him on basic attacks. But there wasn't anyone. The only thing he could see was a training dummy. And he saw a sign that brought him to despair.
"Attacking the dummy helps increase your exp."
 
"Oh my god, Grinding." Said Hero.

It took him three full minutes to level up. He just kept hitting the dummy with his sword. When he leveled up he upgraded his charisma, strength, and lock picking. 

Now he was ready to go on his quest. Hero Took his time to get to the bulletin board. He stopped by the black smith to get a new sword. He got to meet the black smith who was a nice man but mostly only interested in sales. "You wanna buy, then buy, you wanna chat then meet me at the pub later. I'm not too keen on taking breaks during work." Said the black smith. Hero did as the black smith said and just bought a sword that was a little stronger than previous one.

As soon as he got to the board he saw a few quests there. He looked at one of them which read "Come to the Poppy Woods, There's no way that there's some there to ambush you.".

Hero accepted this quest and ran forth to the Poppy woods. He couldn't wait to test out his new sword.

As soon as he got there, He felt chill go down his spine, adrenaline through his veins. And then he suddenly felt an attack from behind him. Hero flew and hit a tree and his HP decreased from 200 to 100. He got up and saw a man standing there with one dagger on each hand.

"A hidden attack from a rouge causes a lot of damage." Said the man. Hero got up on his feet and unsheathed his new long sword.
"My name is 'Rival'. I am an outlaw that will one day destroy Summerset. And if anyone gets in my way, I destroy them." Said the Man. His long black hair was now moving with the force of the wind.
"Alright Rival, I'm gonna kick your butt." Said Hero. Now both of them ran at each other. While they were running Rival threw a few small knives at hero. Hero dodged a few and parried some. As they got closer Hero lifted his sword above him for a strong swing. As the sword came down Rival used his dragger as a shield and blocked it. But that wasn't enough. Hero was stronger and so he was able to overcome the defense and gave a very visible cut to Rival. They both took a step back and waited for the other to move.
 
Rival looked at Hero and said "A hidden attack from a rouge causes a lot of damage.". Without any time to react Hero felt the same attack he felt a few moments ago but it was the combination of two different people. Hero now lay on the ground helpless and with zero HP.
"Meet my party members 'Henchmen #1' and 'Henchmen #2'." Said Rival. Hero soon after woke up on a bed.
