Zero scans through the race list. just like the reviews he read online. there are really more than 100 different races to choose from. lucky for him he's been strategizing for weeks now what race he was going for. Zero picked the [Elves] Race and under [Elves] shows the different versions of the race from [High Elves] - [Dark Elves] Zero choose the [Dark Elves] which Racial abilities comes with
Next was designing the look of zero character. he made him short like me 5'5 with a Handsome looking face, athletic body which has a kick ass six pack,
Black tone skin like pure darkness itself, red colored anime looking intense eyes. and pure white long ponytail hair. Zero stared at his character for a good few second...
" Now that's a bad ass right there. yes sirrr!" Zero says with a chuckle as he clicks on next for the next step.
[please input the created character name] The system say Showing a box with a first Name and a optional Last name if you want.
" Duh [Zero]" he types in the name on the box and confirmed it.
[Player Zero confirmed please select a Play style] The system says and shows [Classic] or [Lifestyle].
Zero instantly choose [Classic] [ Congratulations on creating your character!] the system says with a cheerful sound of music.
[ Teleporting Player to The Tutorial Zone!]
As the world around Zero flashed in a bright white light. Seeing the HUD in his vision with Two bars on the left corner of his vision along with my name [Lvl.0 Zero] on the right side of his vision Zero see a Mini map in a circle HUD showing a white arrow in the middle of that map.
("that must be me in the middle of the map".) Zero thinks to himself getting his baring staring at his pitch-black hands and feet.
He looked at himself seeing that he was wearing all-white tunic and light brown slacks.
[Greetings traveler. Looks like you finally arrived here in the world of Euphoria].
the voice startle Zero a little as he jumps back a few feet seeing a glowing white wisp with fairy wings. floating right next to where he was just standing.
[Don't Worry I am not here to Harm you. instead, I will be your Guide and evaluator in this tutorial zone. feel free to ask me any questions you may have at this moment.]
The floating wisp like fairy says with a voice like the system itself but a little more childish.
"Um okay cool...so what do I call you?" Zero ask with a curious look.
[ you may address me as Guide for now.] The Guide says floating around Zero's body
"Okay Guide so what do I do now?" Zero looks around lost in the tutorial zone that feels like a tunnel in a cave.
[Now you must move forward. to make your way out of this tunnel.] Hearing what the Guide said Zero nodded and made his way through the tunnel.
After A few moments of walking Zero comes to the exit of the tunnel as it leads him out into some sort of Empty Arena. The Guide flew towards racks & tables of multiple weapons and armor circling around it a few times than heading towards Zero and stopping a few feet away from his face.
[ Traveler choose any weapon and armor.]
Zero looked towards the racks & tables and saw different types of weapons from two handed great swords to daggers, spears and axes. for the armor. He saw a mixture of Cloth, chain, leather, and plate. looking at how detailed the armor and weapons where He was amazed. Zero tried out everything on the racks to see what was more for him. than He realize and thought.
("it looks like I can wear all the armor here without any restrictions on my character's physique. maybe I could mix up certain armor pieces.") Zero thought to himself as he smiled with a wide grin than wasted an hour just putting on the armor he wanted.
Zero attire was A brown and black colored cloth hood that covered my mouth and nose, dark brown colored Leather chest piece, rusted Iron armored gauntlets, black cloth pants, and Dark brown colored Leather boots. He checked himself out nodding in approval of his gear as he looked towards the weapon racks picking out two daggers and A bow with A quiver of wooden arrows in it.
A flood of notifications pops up in his Vision.

"Nice!" Zero exclaimed in joy as all three weapon mastery skills gave him 3 new active skills each with the help of the adventurer class that gave one nice looking passive skill.
"Wait What!?" Zero shows a shocked look on his face as he kept reading the skill.
("this skill is insanely op wonder if this is a bug or something.")
Zero look towards the Guide.
"Hey Guide! is this skill supposed to be like this?" Zero says pointing at his screen where the description of fast learner is showing.
[ Yes, all adventures start off with this skill.]
The Guide says while floating in front of zero.
("Hmmmm.. interesting I wonder why none of the reviews or beta testers online mentioned this. tsk! greedy bastards probably wanted to hide it for themselves...but maybe they haven't realized it as well possibly mistaken it for a EXP boost. Because everyone knows tutorials in most RPG's usually be the "typical" boring do this and that and everybody always speed through them without checking for important clues like this skill description for example. if those that was patient enough like me and took their time they would benefit off this boon of a skill. but maybe that could work but I will have come back to that later.") Zero thought to himself about something.
"These weapons should do fine. I'm all ready for what's next." Zero says towards
"Okay guide what's next? am I to fight something?" Zero looks around the arena seeing that it is still empty.
[Now we shall start Your reaction and agility test.] An obstacle course spawn in front zero full of moving objects and platforms.
[You may begin when you are ready.] The Guide says while zipping around the course.
"Oh boy! Now this looks fun." Zero say while looking at the course with a smirk and started stretching.
He dashed for the course as he jumped from platform to platform with ease as the first moving object that look like a pillar of spikes tries to close line him sliding under it with ease.
getting back on my feet still moving doing a flip over the next moving object. landing on his feet with a roll than dashing for the next platform jumping. A few projectiles launch from a wall heading straight for him in the air. Make my whole-body spin in the air dodging the projectiles. landing on the next platform with a roll.
Zero made another dash seeing a balance beam connected to the next platform. started walking on the beams at a pretty fast pace while balancing myself well like an acrobatic. hearing a loud whistle going past his ears. A Spear was thrown at him missing by a few inches. Looking to see where it was coming from. On both sides of Zero are three training Dummies on the platforms. With spears in their hands throwing them at him.
"Shit!" Zero say as he speeds up his pace on the balance beam. Zero closed his eyes and start focusing on the surroundings around him while walking at a steady pace on the beam preparing his Daggers. right when a spear is about to hit Zero, he slashes at it breaking it apart along with doing a whirl on the balance beam and dodging the next one as he kept going with the same motions getting to the next platform in only a few moments.
Zero see a stand with a red button on it in the middle of the platform putting his hand on it the course ended. A bunch of Notifications pops up in his vision.

[Congratulations you Have broken A New world record for time!]

Zero stared at all the notifications with an open mouth of shock as he closed it back shut after shaking my head.
"Well, I am pretty good huh?" Zero says laughing to himself he notices the guide was floating in front of him froze like it was lagging or something weird.
"Um Guide. You Okay there?" Zero say staring at the wisp like fairy creature who started back moving around in motion like something pressed play on it.
[Yes, I am fine. Congratulations on Breaking the record on this course Player Zero.]
The guide says sounding like an emotionless 5-year-old.
"Um. Thanks." Zero smiled awkwardly at it.
" So, what's next Guide?" Zero say looking excited for the next course.
[ Do you Wish to continue or restart this course again?] The guide says while floating around me.
"Wait we can restart courses??" Zero say with a shocked look.
[ That is correct rather you pass or fail the course. it does not affect you going forward to the next one.]
"Wow...that changes everything than" Zero say with a smirk holding off on continuing Zero checked his stats and skills for his character.

Zero guess because of the
("if just running that course for the first time gave me that much of a boost in agility and wisdom wonder how much or what skills and stats would go up for running the course multiple times.") Zero thought to himself.
Zero than grinned at the guide.
" Yo guide! is there a time limit here for the tutorial zone?" Zero asked the guide who was just floating there.
[No. there is no time limit, to ensure all players can continue at their own pace.]
with this confirms Zero's ideas as he rubs his hands together and laugh.
" Time to Grind baby!" Zero yells out with excitement.
Three hours passed by and he finally got the notifications he been looking forward to.

One walks up to the middle of the Arena The Guide floats above its head.
[Beginning the next Course Live Combat.]
