Chapter 14: Tutorial rewards
"Now where's this place?"
Just like his Metabody creation space, he was now in a darkplace that did not have any up or down, forward or backward.
It was a complete blank space, and he was once again floating.
"Muu?"
The only difference here was the slime that he was still holding.
"Do you know what's going on, Az?"
"Muu?"
It seemed like the slime had no idea what was going on either.
[Ding.]
Well, the system was thankfully here to answer his questions.
[Sir Elio has completed their tutorial.]
[Tutorial rewards for all the achievements and evaluated actions will now be distributed.]
"So, this is the reward space? Wasn't the reward merely a tutorial exclusive reward box? Or is there something more?"
He was confused for a moment, but then he just shook his head.
Things did not make that much sense in games anyway.
"It would have been nicer if things were a little brighter."
[Ding!]
-Ooooooooooong!
As soon as he said that, lights suddenly appeared all across him out of thin air, and he was momentarily blinded by all the lights.
"The hell?"
First, things were too dark, and after he asked for them to be brighter, they became too bright.
"Can't you make them a little dimmer? This is too much. Just keep three of the lights and remove the rest."
[Ding!]
-Oooooooooooooong!
It seemed like the system made random places for this unique reward distribution.
He didn't know why this was happening, but he did not mind it.
It was unique, and he liked it.

"..."
He was stunned.
And speechless as well.
For a moment, he thought he was seeing things wrongly so he called out his status window as he tightened his grip around the cool blob in his arms.

============
"It's true…"
He looked at the new status window and thought about his time in that tutorial space for a moment.
He knew that place surely existed somewhere in this world, and there should also be a way to get to that place.
"We shouldn't leave the rest of them alone for long, right?"
"Muu? Muuu. Muu!"
The slime, Az, was happy to hear that. It also wanted to meet the rest of its friends again.
"We will search for it with Alex's help then."
"Muu?"
He had not told the little creature about his partner since he wanted them to meet first directly.
And now that he had received the rewards for his tutorial as well, he was ready to move on to his starter town.
"Haaa…"
The rewards were quite surprising to him.
One simple tutorial, three rare achievements, two common achievements, one title, and a special companion. This tutorial surely gave him a lot more than what common players usually get.
[Final tutorial evaluation has been graded.]
[You have received: Grade <S> evaluation.]
[Tutorial reward box of Grade <S> will be added to your inventory.]
"I'm in the top 1% of the luckiest people to receive this grade, it seems."
He still did not compare to the second ranked player in the unified rankings who became a <Dragonslayer> in his tutorial and received an abnormal <EX> tutorial evaluation grade.
That person was considered the Luckiest player of this game, as well as one of the luckiest in the world.
[Otherworlder privileges will now be unlocked.]
He had received all his rewards now, so his vision faded once again and along with some system noises, he experienced space-time transportation once again.
[Feature: Friendzone, will be activated.]
[Feature: Forum, will be activated.]
[Feature: Otherworld market, will be activated.]
His transportation this time was not that difficult. In fact, it was pretty smooth and finished in the blink of an eye.
"How are you doing~."
"Hey! Did you see that program yesterday!"
"I heard the Terror of the hunting ground is still around. Is that true?"
"The PKs are increasing these days… and so are the prices of good food items."
"I've heard there's a new seller in town? A friend of mine working with the knight order saw the captain placing a big order and being awfully polite with them."
Every starter town or major city of this world had a certain plaza where the people who traveled through the system's Space-time passages ended up in.
Be it the players who revive after dying, players using transportation scrolls and items, players using the big city's services, or the players starting their journey after the tutorial… all of them ended up in the main plazas of these towns and cities.
"Moongold town…"
There were famous starting towns that players selected and there were less popular ones based on their positions and resources.
Moongold town was one of the towns that was not too popular nor was it one of the least popular ones.
There were some good things about this town, and some things that players did not like.
If one had to say from a player perspective, this was a pretty average town.
"This is fabulous."
But from the perspective of a player visiting it for the first time, this place was nothing less than a pretty paradise…
