Chapter Two: Part Two - Welcome Newcomers
He opened his eyes and the scenery was different. There was a huge gate and a castle in front of him.
Maripiko
"Was I teleported?"
He stood up, and tried to walk, his body was now moving and his balance was stable.
Maripiko
"This feels weird but not bad"
Maripiko
"I better do the quest"
He looked around and there were a lot of people.
He looked and signs, it says:
"Welcome to Kingdom of Lojo"
Maripiko
"Kingdom of Lojo? So this is where probably I'm going to form my first 6 party"
He walked through the crowd and there was a big line outside the gate.
Maripiko
"What is the line for?"
Civilian
"You're a newcomer, aren't you?"
Maripiko
"Huh? Uh yeah, I'm a newcomer. I'm here for the registration"
Civilian
"You should stand at the end of the line, they will check your identity before entering the kingdom"
Maripiko
"My identity? Do they need to check it?"
Civilian
"Of course, there are spies from other kingdoms, and they might try to attack us"
He noticed that they're an unusual NPC falling in line, but he's wrong it was a player who has the same status screen like him.
Civilian
"I'll be going now"
The player left, and the line was getting smaller.
After a few minutes, he was already at the front of the gate.
Guard
"Identification card"
Maripiko
"Uhm... I'm a newcomer"
The guard led him to a room and there was a woman sitting behind a desk.
Server
"I'll be your guide for the registration process"
Server
"Can you tell me your name?"
Maripiko
"My name is Maripiko"
Server
"Now, I need your age, gender and birthday"
Maripiko
"Should I enter female?”
Maripiko
"I don't see why not"
Maripiko
"I'm 23 years old, and I was born on March 17"
Server
"Alright, I got everything I needed"
Server
"Do you want to change your name, gender and birthday?"
Maripiko
"Hmm... can I change my name? But not that much"
Server
"Sure, you can change it”
Maripiko
"Then, please change my name to Mari"
Server
"Okay, Mari. Do you have any preference for your gender and birthday?"
Maripiko
"Hmm, I don't mind being a girl"
Maripiko
"As for my birthday, I'll make it the same as my real birthday"
Server
"Okay, then let's change it to that!"
Server
"Now, you can proceed to the next step"
Server
"Please, follow me"
Maripiko
"Wow! They got every (equipments), tomes and armor"
She stood up and opened the door, he followed her and there were a lot of people in a hallway.
Server
"These are the other newcomers"
She started to walk, and he followed her.
After walking for a while, they reached a large door, and she opened it.
Server
"This is the final step of the registration"
Server
"Please, follow me inside"
She entered the door and he followed her.
The room was spacious, there were tables and chairs.
Server
"The next step of the registration is your skills and vocation"
------------------------
Choose one:
Flying Kick
Acrobatic
Backflip
Slapstick
Cartwheel
Hand Stand
Sword Dance
Dance of the Dead
Cone Head

Hula-Hoop
Bag of Tricks
-------------------------
He chose acrobatic as his skill.
Server
"You have chosen acrobatic"
Server
"So base on your skills your class was Jester.”
"He was a little surprised by the class that he was assigned to.
Maripiko
"No hell way I would be a Jester!"
Maripiko
"Let me choose again!"
Server
"I'm sorry we can't afford to that, as per our rules said that:"
Server
"1) Adventurers only choose one skill and it will be their permanent skills"
2) Your job doesn't mean it useless but hone it"
Server
"Now for your last registration"
Server
"You need to choose six companions for your journey"
A list of 50 companions was shown, and he was amazed by the variety of classes.
He searched the list and found the ones that he wanted.
Maripiko
"This will be hard. I have to choose carefully"
After a few minutes, he made his decision.
Maripiko
"I have chosen my companions"
Server
"Okay, then we are finished. Please, follow me"
They walked towards a gate, and he was confused.
Maripiko
"Excuse me, where are we going?"
Server
"We are going to the outside of the kingdom"
Server
"Because the final part of the registration is outside"
They walked towards the gate and there was a huge crowd outside.
Maripiko
"Wow, there are a lot of people here"
Server
"Yes, there are many newcomers, and they are all looking for a group"
Maripiko
"So, they are the ones who haven't chosen their group?"
Maripiko
"So this is real?"
Maripiko
"Hmm, how can I acquire my six party?"
Server
"It's easy, just stand on that blue panel and the monitor will give you freedom to choose your members"
Maripiko
"Monitor? Is that the thing on top of the stage?"
Server
"Yes, it is. Now, go up and choose your members"
He ran towards the stage and went up.
There was a big screen above him and there were two buttons.
One is to accept the member and the other one is to reject the member.
He pressed the 'accept' button and a new screen appeared.
---------------------------------------------------
Accepting Member: 0/6
---------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
Please, choose your members.
---------------------------------------------------
Maripiko
"Let's see, I should start with a magician, an archer, a thief, a swordsman and a healer"
He rethinks for a moment for he wants to choose another class and not the generic ones.
Maripiko
"Let's be unique this time! I should choose a summoner, a priest, a knight, a lancer, a druid and a merchant"
He searched the members, and he found the perfect members.
He accepted the 6 members and a window appeared.
---------------------------------------------------
You have accepted 6 members.
---------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
Do you want to proceed? Yes or No
---------------------------------------------------
He pressed 'yes' and another window appeared.
---------------------------------------------------
Do you want to distribute their skills?
---------------------------------------------------
He looked at the skills,, and he was amazed.
He distributed one skill for each class he chooses.
After choosing the skills, he pressed the confirm button.
The screen disappeared and the sound of people chattering echoed through the air.
He looked around, and the crowd was cheering.
Maripiko
"Wow, everyone is happy. It's like a festival"
He got off the stage and the woman approached him.
Server
"Congratulations. You have passed the final part of the registration"
Server
"The next step is to create your group name. The name must be unique and cannot be used by others
Maripiko
"Oh, it's like a guild name"
Server
"Yes, the name of the group will be displayed during the battles and tournaments"
Maripiko
"Okay, I'll think of a good name"
He looked around and tried to think of a name.
Maripiko
"Hmm, a good name. Jorojoro must be the group names hehehehe"
He laughed, and the woman looked at him with confusion.
Server
"Why are you laughing?"
Maripiko
"Nothing, I was just thinking of a name"
Server
"Okay, so what is your group's name?"
Maripiko
"The Jorojoro group"
Maripiko
"Okay, The Jorojoro group is the name of your group"
Server
"Congratulations and good luck"
The woman went back to the stage, and he was alone.
Maripiko
"What should I do now? And doing the quest is pointless, now that i'm broke"
He sat down on a nearby bench and started thinking.
Maripiko
"Hmm, there's nothing else to do. I'll just stay here for a while and wait for the party members I requested"
He rested his back on the bench and closed his eyes.
