 Surrounded by white light, I found myself in a plaza with a fountain.

 The cobblestone pavement, the smell of the stones on my soles, the plaza full of players. I could distinguish many voices in the vicinity if I turned my attention to them. I was awestruck by a virtual reality world that was far better than any game I had ever played before.

 The player's choice of races, beastmen, elves, dwarves and humans, came and went, or stopped like me to look around and show themselves to each other. Maximum height, maximum width, minimum height, glamorous, no bumps. Gorgeous hair color!

 If you look beyond the people, you can see dark brown columns and white stucco houses around the square, and the ground floor of the building facing this square seems to be a store. The buildings facing the square seem to have shops on the ground floor. The landscape looks like somewhere in Europe, and it looks like a theme park based on the same motif. The impression of being too neat and tidy may make you think so.

 I thought it was okay for it to be beautiful, and as I took my first step, a log window appeared in front of me, and at the same time, I asked myself if I wanted to start the tutorial. A rather flat female voice said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

 Just to be clear, the flatness is the inflection of the voice, not the chest armor. No figure!

 The hustle and bustle of the surrounding area has disappeared. It seems that the field has been turned into a field for quests, and the same scenery that was filled with people just a few minutes ago has turned into a quiet plaza with only a few N!

 A flashing light appears in the window and insists that you touch here. I simply touched the glowing word "map," and a map window appeared in addition to the menu. The window can be easily imagined as a transparent phone or tablet floating in the air. The size and location of the window can be changed as desired. You can also set the window to open automatically when there is an announcement.

 The Adventurers' Guild was a large building facing the square.

 Although the heightened visibility and the length of the compass make me feel a little uncomfortable, I head toward the guild with a buoyant feeling. I rub the hem of my robe from time to time, but I don't seem to mind the stains and frayed edges.

 When I pass through the open door, I feel a little dim inside, perhaps because I am accustomed to the light outside. There is a reception counter in front of the entrance and another counter on the left as seen from the entrance, and the sign hanging from the ceiling reads <>.

There is no door, just an open space with a wall dividing one third of the room from the back. Inside the guild, there are dark brown floors, wooden floorboards, a staircase, and white plaster walls - the sturdy-looking counters and bulletin boards are a slightly lighter dark brown than the floors, but only the counter tops are two-tone dark brown, almost black.

 The top of the bulletin board says "Rank E". The harmless-looking man next to him is probably looking at rank F, which is one rank lower. The requests are apparently not so different from those in the previous games. Satisfied after reading a few pages, I head for the counter.

 All the people at the counter are women, and their hair color is more subdued than that of the player. One of the three reception desks was occupied by a short red-haired N!

 Is it because he is a N! He was leaning against the counter, facing the woman at the reception desk. It is hard to tell because he was bent over a little, but he seemed to be over the height limit that a player can set. On his back, he is carrying a large, thick sword, which seems to be more than twice the size of the player's sword seen in the plaza, suggesting the strength of his muscles.

 A normal R!G would talk to N!C without hesitation and get information from him, but in this world, which is almost like a real one, it would be unwise to talk to someone who is in the middle of a reception procedure and interrupt him from his work. On the other hand, I don't want to approach a person who is drinking and talking loudly in the daytime next to me.

 The guy in front of the board looks a bit timid and seems to be easy to talk to, but frankly speaking, I want to avoid him. I did not know where this feeling came from at first, but I realized it while I was looking at the request form. The unreliability of the man does not seem to be that of an adventurer. He may be a novice adventurer, but there is a hint of trouble. Maybe he is an assassin who hunts beginners.

 Likewise, there is an anxious looking girl who is wandering around aimlessly, but this one seems to be a troublesome problem (heroine) as promised in the game. I usually just let it go by, yes.

 Galahad, Galahad is the name of the famous "Unsullied Knight" in the Arthurian legends and the Holy Grail legends. The names of the knights in the Arthurian legends are familiar to us because they are often used for characters in games and novels. In fact, the man at the counter reminded me of a red-haired warrior of the same name in a certain game, because he looked more like a warrior adventurer than a knight.

 When our eyes met, he looked fearless and powerful with his large body, but now, with his smile, he looked friendly. You see, since my great-grandmother told me not to show my teeth when smiling when I was a child, I have always smiled with my mouth closed, but a smile with white teeth looks carefree! I wonder when did men in particular start getting better at white tooth glitter.
