? years ago.
A thirty-seven-year-old man with short black hair, dark green eyes, muscular body. wearing brown pants, a brown s.h.i.+rt, sword sheathed on the right side of his waist and s.h.i.+eld sheathed on his back, stood with a letter in hand, reading it, aloud, "Dear player, Darin. You amongst other lucky few players have been selected to live in [Ultimate World Online]. We have sent you a gift, you can find it in your inventory. Death Penalty: -1 Level and resurrection in the home town. Please enjoy your life in [Ultimate World Online]."
Letting out a chuckle out of his mouth, Darin thought, 'You really never know what life will bring you next, do you.'
Tearing the sheet of paper into many pieces, Darin threw them all into the air and the pieces got swept away by the wind, flying far into the distance.
From the opened menu, Darin tapped on the box in his inventory. It appeared in his right hand and he pulled the string. The box disappeared from his hand and notification messages started flas.h.i.+ng.

Reading the letter, Nyan raised the corners of his lips, forming a broad smiling expression on his face. "Yes! Yes! Yes! What a dream come true!" he shouted out and threw his hands into the air, throwing away the letter and starting to laugh maniacally.
A few minutes pa.s.sed and Nyan stopped laughing, he lowered his left arm to the side of his body and extended his left arm and swiped his fingers down, and the menu opened. From the menu, he opened his inventory and tapped on the box. It appeared in his right hand and he pulled the string. The box disappeared from his hand and notification messages started flas.h.i.+ng.

Present day.
"Stay!" Shouting out a command that was mean for Ryan, Liya dashed towards the two goblins.
"*Woof!*" Ryan barked and sat down on his b.u.t.tocks.
The two goblins and Liya came in melee range of one another, and the two goblins struck at Liya with their b.l.o.o.d.y fingers.
Sidestepping to the right, Liya dodged the two attacks and slashed horizontally with the stave in her right hand, slas.h.i.+ng both goblins with one attack,

'Ryan got 20 attribute points? That's really good.' Turning her head back, Liya said, "Well done, Ryan. Now come here."
"*Woof!*" Ryan walked up to Liya and she bent down and looted the two goblin corpses and from looting them she got 20 copper coins. 'Time to put my scavenging profession to the test.'
Looking down at the goblin, Liya knew what she could take from its corpse and how to do it. She squatted down and plunged her right hand into the goblin's chest, and some blood seeped out of the place from where her hand went in. And the deeper she pushed, the more blood seeped out.
Grabbing the hold of what she wanted, Liya in one swift motion pulled out her hand, and even more blood seeped out of the gaping hole in the goblin's chest. In her right hand was a small crystal, and this crystal disappeared and a notification message flashed.

Repeating the same to the other goblin, Liya stood up and glancing her right eye at Ryan, she said, "Wait." She raised and extended her right arm and swiped her fingers down and the menu opened. She opened her character.

'Now to see what item is that goblin core.' Liya closed Ryan's character and opened her inventory, and moved her eyes to the two goblins cores she had.
