It was a nice sunny day, Yazid was in his psychology class. When the lights went out. The whole school was deathly quiet for two whole seconds - then the whole room erupted into chaos. Students panicking. Some crying. Others staring off into the distance.
"Eh?"
Yazid said. As he took his eyes off his paper. Not really paying attention until the noise got to the point where he couldn't even hear himself think. He glanced around the room not really taking in the situation at hand.
"it's probably a power outage. They will get the backup generators running in no time, there's no need to panic."
He mearly stated and then going back to his work. When he heard the students gasp again. Though this time it was out of awe and shock. Yazid being curious took a glance. And saw - Cards?. With stars and amazing art. He picked one that was nearest to him. And he was teleported. To a room. It was empty no one was in here except him - or so he thought.
<Begin tutorial - Objective: Defeat the D ranked monster at the back of the room>
"Tutorial?...as in like a game?"
He asked confused. He pinched himself and then blinked w couple times. The prompt was still there. He had no clue what was going on - one thing was for certain though. Well actually two. 1.) Either this is a dream. Or he's having an hallucination Or 2.) This is real. And life had thrown all physics and logic out the window.
"If this is the tutorial. Don't I get a guide!?"
he asked

The moment Yazid asked about a guide a message screen came up "Guide requested... Retrieving Guide to help new player... Please hold, your Survival is important to us, Guide will be with you shortly". ------------------------ Dee Dee was at her Guild base working on a new water wheel to help pump water into the new community they had growing around the base, with her were her friends and a massive group of Waddle-dee that showed up once the guild got the community upgrade, they just wandered on in and started to make a home for themselves along with some Waddle-doo, almost like they knew where the place was and had been waiting for this moment! And right now they were helping her with the work, BombDee, TreeDee and CaveDee also helping along with Geist, Kramer, Jimmy, Chomps, Gwen, the Guardian, and the Ancient swordsman, while Ton, the sword, and Fawn all relaxed since there wasn't much they could do to help. The work was going great and as they finished attaching the last spoke on the wheel and started to set it on the main axel to lower into the water, as this was all getting ready Dee Dee got a ping from the system and she looked at the text window that popped up, apparently a new person was doing their tutorial and a guide was requested, "Give me a moment.. BombDee you know what needs to be done so I leave it to you okay?" her word bubble popped up and BombDee gave a salute as Dee Dee hit the accept button. ----------------------------- Back with Yazid the message window read "Guide found, Connecting to Waddle-Dee Dee, thank you for using the Guide services!"And with that the message screen changed, it had a very decorated look to it, and standing in the message window was small Animated Waddle-dee, no doubt this was the Waddle-Dee Dee that had been mentioned as the guide. Waddle-Dee Dee gave a little wave as the message appeared in text on the screen "Hello and welcome to your Tutorial, I will be your Guide Waddle-Dee Dee! I hope we can get you through this tutorial and get you out into the world! After the Tutorial you will get some items to help you out in the world, and since you are getting myself you will also receive a Waddle-Dee Dee's Beginners Guide to the system which will cover many other topics that we might not be able to cover during your Tutorial! with this Book you will also get a Coupon for a Free Tomatonator meal at the Food Cart the "Maximum Tomato" when you find it wandering the lands!". The Animated little Avatar gave a nod then blinked a moment before more text appeared on the screen "How may I be of help?"Yazid

Yazid would look at the message window Infront of him and his eyes widened for a few seconds
"I'm... sorry did the universe just put me on hold?"
He asked no one in particular as he sat there for a good minute before the message popped back up. And said that the request was accepted - oh. Finally a guide to help him though whatever the hell is happening at the current moment. He saw a decorated pop up window much like the previous one. But this one had an animated character on it. It waved to him and spoke. Yazid was so confused. He laughed outloud because he thought he was slowly going mad. When he was asked how he could use the guide as assistance. He looked at the pop up and chuckled
"First the universe puts me on hold...and is now asking me if I could use some assistance? Dear God, what was in that lunch?"
He asked himself before speaking to the Pop up
"Yeah, you can tell me what the hell is going on. Starting with tutorial? What tutorial? D rank monster what in the absolute hell. How am I going to kill it exactly? I'm a college student! Not a fighter i haven't fought a day in my life. Well- beside that one time where I got shoved into a trash can. But that's besides the point!"

Waddle-Dee Dee looked at the man as he seemed confused and he asked a series of questions, and Waddle-Dee Dee waited patiently for him to finish asking his questions, clearly not minding how many were being asked, but once he finished the text started to pop up on the message screen, this was of course instead of Waddle-Dee Dee talking, as it only talked in text. but it got the information across at least. "You are currently in a tutorial to help you get ready for how the world has become after the flash, many have gone through their tutorials and learned to make use of the powers they have gained through the system! these powers will be instrumental in insuring your survival in the world as it is now. The world can be likened to that of a game world, but please understand unlike a game you only have one life, so you must be careful and you must understand your power and how to utilize it, That is the purpose of the tutorial to help you get the hang of your powers, however please realize that you must still be careful even here, while the monsters and challenges you face here will be weaker then ones you will find in the real world, they can still kill you if you are not careful!" The Animated Avatar took out a little note book and looked through it as the text appeared. "As for the Rank D monster, Missions, dungeons, Stats and Monsters are given Ranks to inform people of how strong they are, the lowest is F rank, then E, D, C, B, A, A+, S, S+ and finally SS being the currently known highest! as such you are fighting a monster that is somewhere in the lower mid rang in terms of strength, what this means is that at least one of it's stats are of D rank, monsters can still be fairly weak even if they are of a certain rank, the rank basically translates to the highest rank stat they are likely to have, how affective this is in an actual combat entirely relies on the abilities of the monster and what stats and how many are of that rank" Waddle-Dee Dee's text continued to inform him. "Now as for how you will kill it, you should have access to a class, likely you were given a choice before you called me, however without looking at the system interface you won't really know what that class is, now some people use an intermediary to access their System menu be it a phone, a book, a sigil on their hand, these are great visual aids to help you get the hang of it, but these are not really needed as you likely can tell by the fact that a message window has popped up in mid air! So you can just call out or think the words "System Menu" and it should open a system menu for you, don't worry when it's open it's actually invisible to everyone else and no one can see it unless you enable the option to do so on the system menu options page! But even then it's only temporary, likely to make sure you don't forget it's on"Waddle-Dee Dee continued on "For now try opening your menu and then navigating to the "Status" page to see your current stats, your class, and your abilities! Don't worry the monster won't appear till your ready, your tutorial seems to be rather kind in that regard, though it's also rather tough since you have to fight a Rank D monster at level 1, but don't worry it shouldn't be insurmountable proper and tactical use of your abilities will be the key to victory here!" Waddle-Dee Dee gave a little cheer and waved a flag to encourage them. Yazid

He was blinking rapidly trying to grasp - fully grasp the situation at hand.
A game? What game? Why has the world adopted quite literal rpg elements all of a sudden?
Was he current train of thought. No matter - this is reality now and he'll have to accept it. Better now then later.
[Open stats]
He said. To no one in particular. Just then a HUD like menu appeared Infront of his face showing stats and his class. Followed by an inventory and currently equipped Items
[Player information]
<Name: Yazid> <Level: 1> Stats: SPD: 10 MAGI: 10 WIL: 10 LUCK: 1 PWR: 10
<CLASS> - afterlifelike -
Passive: you and your allies gain a +10% in WIL.
He looked at waddle-Dee somewhat confused. But it is what it is Yazid thought. As he looked at waddle-Dee and smiled. And made his way to the back of the room. As he looked at the monster. And Yazid. Took a step back. Trying to conceal his footsteps and control his breathing.

"Now before engaging in combat you should read what your abilities do, that way you can know what your capable of! after looking at the Tutorial you have, it's a simple one on one combat tutorial, and it looks like the monster is on a timer to give you time, I suggest you use this time to go over your abilities and understand them as much as possible!" Waddle-Dee Dee said through text on the message screen the Avatar was on. Though looking over the monster for a moment made the small Avatar nod "I think you can likely handle this, but be careful all your stats are F rank so use of your abilities will be key to winning! but don't worry it's a Tutorial monster it will be slightly weaker then a normal D rank monster, likely only 1 stat in the D rank! but still be very careful got it?" the Waddle-dee Text popped up the window staying to the side to not obstruct Yazid's sight Yazid

"Hmm?..Oh, right. My class...Hmm never really thought about reading it. But then again all of this is sooo new"
he said as he made the pop up appear again. This time showing this class and it's abilities smd cooldown time. And what each one can do and how he can use them to his advantage in this new and strange world. That he found himself living in. It's gonna take some time to get used to. But he'll get use it it. He is after all adaptive.
After reading his class and takes into consideration. The effects and cooldown time's. He closed the menu. And looks around. Noticing nothing has changed. And it was still him and well this digital little helper.
"Okay. Thanks waddle-Dee. I appreciate the help"
He said as he looked around. And walks to the back. As he waits and observed.

Yazid notices the zombie round the corner. And be stands there as he tilts his head and looks at the zombie.
"Would ya look at that. We got zombie before GTA6. No Matter although, I should get rid of this thing before it becomes a problem. He said as he opened his stats to look at his statsheet and classes
[OPEN MENU]
He called out into the air. As a blue system window popped up as he swipe through his stats and his class abilities. He nods his head satisfied
"Alright, we can work with this. All I need to do is put on a costume right. Well should be easy enough"
He snaps and turns into a synthetic vampire. As he looks at himself and whistles.
"I sure could get used to this. It is quite an improvement."
he said as he dashed to the zombie and slashed with synthetic claws. Hoping it hits

The Zombie looked at the man as he turned the corner, then it opened it's mouth and a breathless moan escaped it as it started forward towards him, it was slow, that was to be expected, as it shambled as the man looked over his menu a second time, and as he lunged at the creature it staggered from the hit, but didn't seem to take to much damage, It stayed on it's feet only barely and then lifted both it's arms and slammed them down broken fingernails first towards Yazid in an attempt to stab him. Zombie Uses: Brains, attacks at F rank(5) Speed, if hits deals F rank (10 damage), Zombie was hit by F Rank (10 Damage) defense broken, no VIT damage Taken--------------------------- Dee Dee watched through the message window... well not really watched, she got info on the enemy, and on the person in the tutorial, and a little map display that showed where things were, almost like playing a Table top game on a Virtual Tabletop, and it seemed the stats of the enemy were heavily towards VIT, DEF was good but it was slow and had little MAGI and WIL, so a physical enemy but it was also clear that Yazid didn't have a good enough attack to beat it, at least with the current attack he used, it wasn't strong enough to break through it's DEF, granted the same was true for the Zombie. ---------------------------- Where Yazid was the Message window let out a loud PING to get his attention as Waddle-Dee Dee was Waving a little alert flag "Warning your claw attack is not strong enough to break through the Zombies Defense! However your vampire form allows you to make a second attack with a bit, it might be disgusting but by doing this you can break through the Defense of the Zombie and deal real damage to it and then follow up with a claw strike for even more damage! Remember your life is on the line here some discomfort or disgust is a small price to pay for continuing to survive in a fight to the death!" the message read as Waddle-Dee Dee tried to get across how important this fight was.

Yazid would look at the zombie as it slammed it's hand down. With all the grotesque limbs. He was staring at the zombie when the message window appeared. And Dee Dee was waving her red flag. He read the message and a look of disgust flashes across his face.
Ew, you want me to bite into that disgusting zombie... I'll pass"
But when he read the message further he sighed. Dee Dee was right. Discomfort and disgust is but a small price to pay. Ugh Yazid can't believe he's gonna do this. He dashed up towards the zombie and bit it. His face would tighten as he coughed as he followed up with a slash. And the zombie lunged at him. And Yazid barely got around. And then Yazid slashed again. Awaiting for a response from Dee Dee

The Zombie staggered from the bite as it's defense was broken, and then stumbled back when it was slashed, but it was still standing, not being fast enough to dodge... or even having the mental capacity to even consider that, it simply took the attacks, though it was tough it looked as if one more attack combo would end the creature, though that did mean having to bite it again, but the Zombie moved over to Yazid and once more tried to stab him with it's cracked and damaged nails. ----------------------- Waddle-Dee Dee watched the fight going on and the message box pinged again "You have dealt good damage, remember to actually deal damage you need to break an enemies defense! this is where things like your abilities come in handy, as you normally wouldn't have enough damage to do that at all without the ability granted to you by your class!, However there are other ways... for instance once you leave the tutorial you can buy a weapon from the shop! I highly recommend this as having a weapon can be helpful! But for now best to focus on winning the fight... It looks like the Zombie is on it's last leg so another combo should finish it off!" The Message box read as the Little Waddle-Dee Dee Was doing a little cheer dance and waving around Pom-Poms to Encourage Yazid. Yazid

Yazid saw the zombie rushing up to him his face changed from the confidant one he had only moments ago and it was replaced with fear and dread knowing he hadn't been in any real fights He was always the kid or avoided fights at all costs only fighting if he was provoked. Yazid would read the message that the icon that is DeeDee showed him. He frowned and looked at the side of his hands knowing that he didn't have a weapon nor has he ever used one. and what's this about a shop? there's in game shops around here like with actual NPC's or other player's that run the shops no matter he should get back to the fight he can check all this out later. As the zombie rushed toward him he rolled to the left his reaction time not as fast as the zombie's movement and as a result he got nicked barely hit but nicked leaving a scratch
he looked at his player sheet and he was still in his vamp form which worked perfectly for him since he could dash right up to his opponent and get a good left hook followed by a bite. spitting the rotten ill flavored flesh out of his mouth. He made a face of pure disgust. Looked at DeeDee and made a face
"fuck" he winced
He looked at the helper and frowned he heard about what happened to this bit or scratched by the undead
"Uh DeeDee Do I have to be concerned about this scratch or no
"Do I have to keep biting this nasty creature's or is there some other way I can do this? Because honestly, I don't think I can keep doing this"
He said as he doubled over to retch the spoiled contents

the punch staggered the zombie and the bite seemed to deal enough damage to the creature and if groaned as it fell backwards defeated as it lay there clearly no longer a threat.
---------------------
Waddle-dee dee waved a little victory flag at his success, though after a moment the text popped up "nope you don't have to worry about it other then making sure you wash it and bandage it somehow, if it was going to cause an affect like that you would see a Debuff or status affect notification appear on your Status screen, but as you can see you are fine, the wound itself could still get infected like normal though so clean it and bandage it with whatever you have on hand for the time being" she then looked to the zombie that was defeated.
"As for biting it more it seems you won the fight! so there is no need!" at that moment a small little fan fair played from a second pop-up window that showed the words TUTORIAL COMPLETE!! joining world in 30 seconds
Waddle-dee Dee nodded and gave a little salute "Congrats on finishing your tutorial, don't worry the world isn't at rock bottom at the moment people have gotten out of their tutorials before you and there are some civilization areas in the safe zones, points can be gathered by doing missions given by others or by the system, and those points can be used to buy things like food water and other things, however food bought from the system shop many have said tastes lesser then food cooked with ingredients, many assume this is meant as incentive by the system to get people to work to make things more livable. There are guilds and there are parties you can join to help you survive, but be careful the monsters out in the world can be very strong at times, pace yourself and be careful, remember you only have one life, guard it well but sometimes you have to face discomfort or disgust to survive!"
The Waddle-dee dee avatar then took out a book "But don't worry you are not going in totally blind! You will be gaining a 'Waddle-Dee Dee's Beginners guide to the system'! it will be added to your inventory and you can take it out and read it at any time, it covers all the information we have just gone over, as well as more detail on other things not yet covered, and it auto updates with new information, it includes field guides on finding food and what is and isn't edible, and also has a bestiary in the back so you know of common enemies and tactics with dealing with them! use it and learn from it! in the back is also a coupon for a free Tomatonator meal at the Maximum Tomato Food cart whenever you happen upon it in the world as it is a wandering food cart! you can find it with the Tomato Marker on your minimap if it's open, otherwise it likely isn't in your area or it's not ready for business at the moment, now take good care of yourself!" the Waddle-dee waved to the young man as the aforementioned Item was added to his inventor as well as his beginners items

Yazid would smile. knowing that he got through the tutorial but deep down he was worried, Worried because if he struggled in the tutorial the easiest part in any game ever then how would he fend for himself out in the open world. Sure DeeDee said that it hasn't gone to hell yet but when things like this arise Humanities true colors tend to show. Bandits, Thieves, Murderess all of humanities dark desires and natures show themselves. Hopefully he can find himself a nice guild to call home and friends that he can relay on. If such friends exist in a world like this. He looks at the book as it is put into his inventory. He'll have to read this over later when he finds himself a safe spot or a safe zone. as for the shops and food vendors he'll have to get currency to go to either of them places. well after he uses his free coupon of course. He looks at the DeeDee icon and smiles.
"Welp, It was fun and terrifying extremally fucking terrifying but I hope we do meet again. see ya later friend"
He said as he waits for the system to teleport him into the vast open world that awaits him. So he can begin his journey. This dream come true to him. This perfect hellscape of a world.
