[attr="class","orvisreescroll"] Orvis blinked slowly at the stranger, staring in bewilderment at the language he used. Was it Korean? Orvis scratched his head, he never knew how to speak another language, so why could he understand what this person was saying to him? Narrowing his eyes, he looked down at Grumble and the dog, both of which seemed to be quite intrigued by one another. "Y- You're speaking Korean right now?" Orvis held out a half pointed finger at the gentlemen, though kept his hands close to his chest. "I- I understand what you're saying..."[break][break]
At this point, he could hear the frustrated gurgle from his monster, something it did whenever they were about to snap. Panicked, Orvis dropped to his knees and swiftly scooped Grumble up in his arms. Despite being somewhat 'slime-like' in appearance, the monster was dry and whole, feeling more scaly than anything else. The sudden swoop from its owner had taken Grumble by surprise, enough to keep him dazed and docile for the time being. "Sorry, Grumble is a bit temperamental, I don't want it to hurt your dog." [break][break] "It must be so dangerous for pets in this world!" Orvis frowned, "What happens to the pets whose owners don't come back from the tutorial?" Eyes trailed down, a sadness deep within them. It was an awful thought, but at least he was still alive. He just hoped his family were okay too. "B- But if you're okay with it, can we form a party? The usual ride home by train is about an hour... I don't know how long that will take by foot. I'm sorry... I'm just really scared, and I haven't seen anyone else with a pet since the awakening."[break][break] Orvis lowered Grumble, this time putting himself between the little slime and the sapsali so that there wouldn't be any accidental nips. "My name is Orvis, nice to meet you!"

[attr="class","orvisreescroll"] "Fuck, fuck, fuck." Orvis groaned, his phone not working the way it used to. It was restricted, heavily, only able to access limited chat functions and basic information on the world. For some reason, an avatar of Earth-chan would occasionally pop up, offering unsolicited prompts on what to do. "I just want to find my dog, family and friends. In that order."[break][break] When the tutorial phase happened, Orvis was abruptly warped from his house right before he was about to give his dog a treat. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out the little bone he was going to give. Grumble nudged his ankle, and Orvis shook his head. "No, not for you. Sorry." [break][break] Annoyed, Grumble rudely spun around and started to hop away. They had just left the outer zone of London, facing down Liverpool Street Station and along the abandoned and overgrown train tracks. It had only been a day, but nature had already reclaimed a lot, especially beyond the safe zone. It looked like a lot of people had come here too, hoping that they could get trains back home or something. But there were no vehicles, and if there were, they didn't work. It looked like people were already forming parties, ready to head out and follow the train tracks in hopes they could return home. Orvis was thankful that his home was only an hours train ride from here, but he had no idea how long that translated into walking distance. [break][break] Already standing around for a while, like a lost passenger waiting for a gate announcement to be revealed, Orvis would timidly approach a stranger who had a pet dog by their side. Orvis' way of thinking was that someone might feel compassion and try to help, maybe party up with him. A lot of people narrowed their eyes at Grumble, weary of the monster's presence. "U- Um, excuse me." Orvis shyly looked to the ground, "I- I'm heading north, to Colchester. Are you by any chance headed that way? I'm trying to find my family you see... And my dog - he was left at home alone and has been there for a day without food now."

[attr="class","orvisreescroll"] "I haven't thought about it too much. I heard in the forums that certain parts of the world have vanished entirely or turned into completely different climates..." Orvis shrugged, "I hope that as long as we avoid those parts, we'll be safe." He looked out into the sea, watching the waves glisten. It made him wonder about the ocean, if that had been altered too... So far, it seemed to be one of the few things that remained unchanging. It was always peaceful when looking at it from the shore. [break][break] "I had never been to America before this all happened!" Orvis started hopping from foot to foot, balancing on a thin line that was etched into the sand from the lapping waves. He held his arms out to keep him balanced, "It's amazing here. I wish I could have seen what it was like before everything happened - I heard a lot of North America is just... Barren, now." [break][break] Grumble hopped over, attempting to take a sip from the salty ocean before spitting it back out. Making frustrated gurgling sounds, the grumpy slime wobbled its way back to Orvis, its tongue lapping up his ankle to remove the saltiness from it. "Wh- Do you mind?"

[attr="class","orvisreescroll"] Kicking up his feet, Orvis lay on bed with his old dog by his side. He had been scrolling through his phone for 20 minutes now, mindlessly absorbing tiktok after tiktok as the small mutt drooled on his leg. Orvis lifted his phone, looking down to see the small patch, "Eh." He shrugged, not having the energy to do anything about it right now. It was starting to creep into the evening, and he had seen another notification of the meteor that would be crossing Earth in a couple of weeks. Orvis had already arranged to go back home and watch it with family and friends, a once in a lifetime experience. [break][break]
'HIIIII!! Do u guys wanna play a game? My mic is still broken but I can still hear u if u wanna call :)'[break][break]
Send. The overly joyous message in contrast to the slob Orvis was right now was almost comical, but quite sad. He hadn't spoken to Fox and Jemma in a while, and wondered how the two were doing. They were in different cities most of the time, so seeing them in person was difficult, but at least they could still play video games. [break][break]
Orvis had already swung his legs round and reached over to turn his PC on, not daring to actually get up off the bed to do such a task - lest he disturb the deep slumber of the noble dog of his.

[attr="class","orvisreescroll"] Orvis immediately started blushing upon being asked where the eggs come from, he already had to have a very awkward conversation with a friend from home about the whole process. "U- Uh, it's not weird I promise!" He held up a hand in defense, suddenly flustered and chuckling nervously. "I- I just select the target and hopefully acquire their essence to make an egg. But it doesn't work all the time though." If anything, it was actually a very low chance that he could make an egg like this, only a 10% chance, which felt very unfair considering this was his only means of defending himself. Thankfully, since the tutorial, he was given a club to help him fight. But it felt weird not clutching onto his egg, he hoped that it might make the next monster like him more. [break][break] "Oh, essence?" He shrugged, "If I load enough essence into an egg, it can influence what hatches out of it. I thought I might be able to load some of your dolphin's, but I guess it doesn't work on class-related creatures. Shame, really." Orvis held the egg up once more, "But at least I have a four star essence already loaded! I wander if it will make it rarer..."[break][break] Orvis continued down the beach, and had already taken his shoes off to feel the sand between his toes, "It's so grounding, isn't it? To feel the sand and waves. Makes the world feel real still, especially around these parts."

[attr="class","orvisreescroll"] Upon hearing Elisande's sweet words, Grumble would open its mouth wide as if it was yawning, but let out a pleased(?) gurgling sound. Orvis had never seen it do that before, and raised an eyebrow at the strange noise. Rolling his eyes at this strange display of affection, Orvis would scoop the egg out of his bag and zip it back up, now holding the large object in his arms. He gave it a light tap, a menu screen appearing an inch away from its shell. [break][break] "Here, look!" Orvis held it out, showing Ellie the different options:[break][break] 🥚 [main★ egg] 1/1[break] HATCH TIME: 7/10 [break] ESSENCE LOADED: 25%[break] ESSENCE TRACKER: [4★ beast rabbit 25%][break][break] "I think it's almost there!" Orvis swiped the screen away, clutching it close again. This time, he wouldn't use the egg as a blunt weapon, lest the monster turn out like moody Grumble again. "I think the hatch time completes the more stuff I do with it, and the essence it loads influences what comes out of it."[break][break] Orvis scratched his chin, strolling along the beach with the party, "I've never thought about finding a monster egg, usually I can just make them. But the chances of that are quite low... We could definitely try and find some more though!"[break][break] Looking at the star dolphin, he wondered if it would work from someone else's summon as well. Curious, Orvis pouted slightly and held out the egg, trying to activate the ability. A red pop-up screen appeared in front of him. [break][break] INVALID TARGET [break][break] "Damn..." [break]

An angry slime that never really wanted to help out, and was more interested in just fighting things and biting Orvis ankles every now and then. "Your dolphin is so cool!" Orvis glanced down at Grumble, who was now glaring at its owner with a disapproving look. "Y- You're cool too, Grumble..."[break][break] "Grum!"[break][break] Orvis took a slight step away from Grumble, knowing its tendency to randomly headbutt him when something got on his nerves. "Some places got lucky I guess." Orvis shrugged, his expression glum, "England, not so much."[break][break] But he didn't want to dwell on that right now.[break][break] "S- Sorry, this is Grumble. I hatched him from an egg."Orvis put his rucksack on the ground, unzipping it slightly and revealing another large egg inside, a similar size to a watermelon. "Similar to this one!"[break][break] Grumble wiggled up over to the egg, nudging it slightly. It was the only time the slime would be gentle, is when the egg was potentially in danger or seeing when it was about to hatch. "I'm guessing the dolphin is to do with your class? My one is Monster Rancher. Cool, right?!" Orvis hopped up, his face lit up and hands balled up into excited little fists.

[nospaces] [attr="class","landbor2"] [attr="class","landimgbg2"] [attr="class","landimage2"] [attr="class","landbod2"] Orvis and Grumble waited anxiously in return, Orvis' unable to pry his eyes from the edge of the spear, how close the tip was to his poor creature. Grumble, however, had the same furious expression on his face, his eyes seemingly staring at the other man rather than the weapon. But the spear was lowered, and what was once a weapon become a crux for support. Something was wrong with this person, they were also injured, though it wasn't as visible. It was only now that Orvis realised he had small arrows stuck in him still, one in his shoulder and one in his back. The pain had faded, but he could feel them. [break][break] "It's fine. I- It's just part of my class. You got one too, I assume?" Orvis was trying to make conversation, direct away from violence and show he meant to harm. But by the way this poor man was suffering, there were other things to attend to. "Here, let me h-"[break][break] Bam! [break] Orvis felt a hard force hit the underneath of his chin, making his head fly back. Grumble leapt out of his arms, purposely headbutting him as it landed on the sand and started making strange growling sounds at Orvis. A weird emoji appeared above its head, a mixture of scribbles and exclamation marks. "Why are you so angry?!" Orvis shouted, holding out a hand to try and calm it down. But it just huffed, and turned around to stop facing him. [break][break] "I swear, if every egg I hatch is like this... I'm going to go insane." Orvis looked over at the stranger, "I'm Orvis, by the way. I'm from the UK. Do you know where we are? I don't remember seeing palm trees or sand this fine in Britain."[googlefont=Poppins] [googlefont=Nunito] [newclass=".landbor2"] width: 450px; height: 100%; padding: 20px; text-align: justify; line-height: 20px; font-family: 'Nunito-Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: auto; overflow: auto; background-image:URL(https://images2.imgbox.com/b3/f4/0gF1p8K1_o.png); background-size: 100%;[/newclass] [newclass=".landbod2"] width: 370px; height: 400px; padding: 20px; text-align: justify; line-height: 20px; font-family: 'Nunito-Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #fff; margin: 20px; overflow: auto;[/newclass] [newclass=".landtag2] font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif; font-size: 9px; color: #fff; line-height: 10px; padding: 9px; float: right; margin: 20px; border:solid 1px #7fd8fe; [/newclass] [newclass=".landimage2] width:100px; height: 100px; margin: auto; border-radius: 100%; [/newclass] [newclass=".landimgbg2] width: 100px; height: 100px; border-radius: 100%; margin: auto; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #0c364c; border-left: 2px solid #7fd8fe; border-bottom: 2px solid #7fd8fe; [/newclass] [newclass=".landbod2 b"] color: #65adc8; [/newclass] [newclass=".landbod2 i"] color: #7fd8fe; [/newclass] [newclass=".landbod2::-webkit-scrollbar"] width:3px;[/newclass] [newclass=".landbod2::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb"] background:#7fd8fe;border:0px[/newclass]

After a while of adjusting to the new world, Orvis decided to revisit the first place he was transported to after finishing his tutorial. He had never been to the US before then, and now that transport between places was basically instantaneous, he was itching to return. To explore further along the beach, past the threshold of what is considered a [safe zone] and see what lies beyond LA. [break][break] Orvis had returned to the same beach, the same location opposite the abandoned lifeguard post. Once he arrived here, he just started walking along the shore, letting the water wash across his bare feet as his newly acquired monster 'Grumble' hopped beside him. There was some disdain towards Orvis from the creature, as it retained memories of when Orvis used the egg as a bludgeoning weapon. Orvis felt bad, but even when Grumble was still an egg, he saved Orvis. [break][break] It didn't take long for the duo to pass through an invisible barrier, the air rippled across a 2-Dimensional world before settling again, as if he stepped through water. Immediately, he saw the girl and the starry dolphin accompanying her. "Oh, hi!" Orvis waved quickly, finding it easier to greet people he comes across, it felt like coming across others was rare these days now. Especially anywhere outside a Safe Zone. [break][break] Orvis looked down at Grumble, who was already sticking its tongue out at the dolphin creature. "My name's Orvis! I was curious what was outside the immediate safe zone of LA. Although as you can probably tell from my accent, I'm not from around here haha."

[nospaces] [attr="class","landbor2"] [attr="class","landimgbg2"] [attr="class","landimage2"] [attr="class","landbod2"] "Oh?" Orvis blinked a few times, the corner of his mouth finally curving into a slight smile. "Hi."[break][break] The slime remained still, staring at him with furrowed brows and a cute rumble coming from it. Orvis cocked his head to one side like a dog, confused by the monster. [break][break] |[break] | [break] |[break] NAME YOUR NEW MONSTER?[break][break]
"I think I'll call you... Grumble!"[break][break] At that point, Orvis and Grumble turned to face the incoming player, another individual who looked a little less rough than Orvis but more well-kept and slightly older. Cognitive functions felt incredibly slow at the moment, like a bran fog clouded over Orvis' basic thinking. It took a hot minute to process what was happening, and finally he understood how the situation looked.[break][break] "W- Wait! Hold up!" He shouted, instinctively scooping up the angry slime and trying to hold it against his chest. It was a little difficult, but he realised it was more solid than he realised, scaly in places too. "It's mine! It's mine!"[break][break] Orvis hoped he was quick enough, and he could already feel the surprise of Grumble as it wriggled around in his arms.

[nospaces] [attr="class","landbor2"] [attr="class","landimgbg2"] [attr="class","landimage2"] [attr="class","landbod2"] A swarm of pixels began to build up on the beach of LA. It was late afternoon, and the sun was just starting to set, but there was still a gorgeous glow over the area. The sea was calming, and was the first thing that Orvis could hear. The distinctive sound of lapping waves, though strangely, he couldn't see anything. In fact, he couldn't feel anything either, or smell. The pixels began to clump together, slowly forming some semblance of a humanoid, it was now that he could see through a tinted shade of blue, code flooding his vision before-[break][break] pop! [break][break] A satisfying sound, as the code and pixels fully formed and dispersed in a colourful pop and sizzle, leaving behind an injured Orvis fresh from his tutorial. A tutorial that took place across the sea, in the UK. He spawned on the beach on his knees, his hair scruffy and one eye bruised. There was nobody else around, it was peaceful. In his lap was an egg the size of a melon, a strange colour of murky brown. It was the only familiar thing to him. In a daze, and still in shock from all the death he witnessed, he slowly looked down at it. [break][break] |[break] | [break] |[break] HATCHING REQUIREMENTS MET...[break][break] LOADING▐▐▐[break] ESSENCE: 100%[break][break] HATCH TIME: FINISHED[break] ▐▐▐▐▯[break] COMPLETE![break] It wiggled slightly, rolling out of his weak grip and across the sand. It shook around, and the loading bar on the side reached 100%. In a brief flash of light, the egg broke away and revealed a small, plump looking creature, like one of those slimes from classic RPGs. But this one seemed gruff, with an underbite and a furious look on its face. [break][break] [break][break] It looked around confused, sniffing the sand. It was no larger than a small cat, and eventually looked up at Orvis. An emoji appeared floating above its head for a few seconds the moment it locked eyes with him.

[nospaces] [attr="class","landbor2"] [attr="class","landimgbg2"] [attr="class","landimage2"] [attr="class","landbod2"] Orvis didn't hesitate, his feet instantly started running and taking him in the direction of the golden rabbit. It darted about frantically, the larger enemy enraged and thrashing about violently. Rubble began to fall from above, chunks of wall being torn apart and more of the exhibition being smashed to pieces. Not wanting to worry about anything else, all he did was run. With the egg held tight in his arms, he had tunnel vision with a gold light at the end. [break][break] It wasn't getting away, not this time. They had wasted enough of their energy, and nobody could last much longer. Even with the divine intervention happening behind him, the depictions of angels and heavenly light restoring the life of their allies, all that mattered was a way out of here. Health was restored somewhat, party members on the bring of death now stabilised.[break][break] Yelping out in pain as small arrows were fired through the air and piercing his arms, Orvis kept his momentum and ignored the gecko archers that hurt him. To think he felt this much pain already, while others were continuing even with missing limbs... [break] "I..." He drew in closer, cornering the golden creature, "Will..."[break][break] Slowly stepping forwards, the rabbit beat its little feet against the ground, jumping off the walls and random information desks. Orvis slowly put his egg down somewhere safe, allowing him to have both free hands.[break][break] "Catch you!" Leaping forwards, the monster rancher pulled out an arrow from his arm, outstretching his hands and feeling a fuzzy pelt in his palm. Quickly, he gripped on tight to the rabbit as it made frantic screeching sounds, nipping his finger. With the other arrow, he plunged it into the rabbit and pinned it to the floor. With a chokehold around it's throat, he lifted it up into the air in celebration. The golden glow now fading. [break][break] |[break] |[break] |[break] TUTORIAL REQUIREMENTS MET. TUTORIAL COMPLETED IN 5 HOURS. ENDING TUTORIAL. [break][break] DISTRIBUTING REWARDS.[break] TELEPORTING PLAYERS TO A RANDOM SAFE ZONE. [break][break] Sighing heavily, Orvis threw the rabbit to one side and scoped up the egg again, ensuring it was safe. The monsters and their weapons began to dissipate in chunks of computer code and red pixels, even some of the dead players began to vanish in chunks of blocky tech, leaving behind strange human-shaped craters in their wake. A small notification popped up, a small picture of a treasure chest with a shining aura. "Cecelia! We did it!"[break][break] When Orvis started running towards her to make sure she was okay, he would vanish into streams of coding before meeting her.[break][break] | | TUTORIAL ZONE RESETTING [googlefont=Poppins] [googlefont=Nunito] [newclass=".landbor2"] width: 450px; height: 100%; padding: 20px; text-align: justify; line-height: 20px; font-family: 'Nunito-Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: auto; overflow: auto; background-image:URL(https://images2.imgbox.com/b3/f4/0gF1p8K1_o.png); background-size: 100%;[/newclass] [newclass=".landbod2"] width: 370px; height: 400px; padding: 20px; text-align: justify; line-height: 20px; font-family: 'Nunito-Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #fff; margin: 20px; overflow: auto;[/newclass] [newclass=".landtag2] font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif; font-size: 9px; color: #fff; line-height: 10px; padding: 9px; float: right; margin: 20px; border:solid 1px #7fd8fe; [/newclass] [newclass=".landimage2] width:100px; height: 100px; margin: auto; border-radius: 100%; [/newclass] [newclass=".landimgbg2] width: 100px; height: 100px; border-radius: 100%; margin: auto; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #0c364c; border-left: 2px solid #7fd8fe; border-bottom: 2px solid #7fd8fe; [/newclass] [newclass=".landbod2 b"] color: #65adc8; [/newclass] [newclass=".landbod2 i"] color: #7fd8fe; [/newclass] [newclass=".landbod2::-webkit-scrollbar"] width:3px;[/newclass] [newclass=".landbod2::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb"] background:#7fd8fe;border:0px[/newclass]

[nospaces] [attr="class","landbor2"] [attr="class","landimgbg2"] [attr="class","landimage2"] [attr="class","landbod2"] "W- What..." Orvis stumbled backwards, almost tripping up over the other group of people around him. The other players that selflessly yet stupidly decided to charge forwards were being ripped to shreds, treated like nothing more than bits of food for the rabbit beast to snack on. It made short work of them all, turning them into human kebabs, human-corn on the cobs... How did something so small and golden turn into such a beast. And to think, they still had a good chunk of time left to complete this tutorial. How was any of this fair?![break][break] Without even activating the ability himself, he saw the notification for EGG SNATCHER appear in front of him, the beast once again shimmering with code before it morphed into... An egg? It wasn't absorbed this time, but how could it, when the current egg was at full essence capacity. The beast didn't seem to notice as the code gathered behind it, converging to a point 15 feet in the air as it loaded into an egg. After a brief moment, it vanished and a notification popped up on his menu. [break][break] [basic egg] added to your [egg storage]! [break][break] At this time, while the rabbit was chowing down on players, Cecelia would attempt to heal the wounds of people around Orvis on the ground. But it didn't amount to much, limbs were missing, organs spilling, bones broken... It was another failed attempt at trying to do some good. But that's when they realised, together in unison, "This rabbit isn't gold!" [break][break] As if on queue, the familiar golden aura would start to shine from the opposite end of the room, back into the geology exhibit where they were chased from. Fucking finally, there was hope at completing this yet. "The rabbit! It was a trap, the real one is in the geology centre!"
