"All right, all mechanical relationship setups are over! Finally, the game begins. Come on, don't get excited."

The old man sat in front of the monitor with a full grin deepening his wrinkles.

The monitor in front of you displays pre-tested personal data in 3D. The old man started setting it up quickly, laughing at a cloak of pants as if it were his own figure.

"Age first. I knew I had to be young."

Slide the age-setting knob to the age of 18 and the personal data on the monitor will be younger and younger as well. Because it's a virtual reality because of it, I set it at the age of my most energetic college year.

"Next, make your feet a little longer and taller for that matter, and your body shape is slightly more detailed muscular..."

Adjust as you remember when you were young, when you were 175cm tall and weighed 89kg. It's a bit of a de-complex of the past.

There is a lot of solitude about what it is, but this can also be said to be a characteristic of those whose solitude is long.

"My face is, well, I guess I'll make it symmetrical left and right enough to eliminate distortion"

Personal data, which on the monitor was an old man, now looked like a skinny good young man.

Of course, I'm not a handsome person because I was a former, but I'm satisfied that in old age it's about above or below the inside.

"Yeah, that sounds good"

Although he is far from his current age, the old man is satisfied with his ideal image. The race remains the default human race and has not changed the color of hair or skin.

In this game, the character's appearance can be changed quite boldly.

It is also possible to have a completely different aesthetic shape, and for example, if the Beast race is a race, various kinds of beast ears can be chosen, such as dogs and cats, and the degree of beast can be changed only from ear to tail to fluff.

In addition, if you are a fairy, you can play with a variety of fine variations, such as elves, dwarves, demons, vampires, and so on.

The old man also tried to play with the appearance of his human race, which he could, as a dwarf or muffled, but in the end the race did not change as a human race for the reason that it would be most calm.

Of course, this game can change his gender, but he seems to regret trying it out with curiosity.

It was decided that there was no immediate memory of feminization.

"It was disgusting while I was. Let's go next."

Finish setting the appearance model and then move on to Skill Settings.

There are four types of skills: Talent Skill System, Correction Skill System, Gift Skill System, and Competency Skill System, which are acquired in the form of spending 15 points awarded at the beginning of the game.

"I knew it was a lot"

That's just selling a free-flowing growth system, with a lot of selectable skills. Besides, only part of what appears on this list.

Derivative skills, integration skills, and hidden skills exist that can be acquired when certain conditions are met, such as raising the skill level or possessing multiple required skills.

For example, when the swordsmanship level reaches 10 after continuing to use the two-handed sword, the swordsmanship LV10 automatically acquires a new derivative skill called two-handed swordsmanship LV0. That adds bonuses and benefits to battling with a two-handed sword, which allows for more original play.

There are only 15P points awarded, but depending on your skills, you may acquire new skills by repeating actions that may allow you to acquire that skill in the game.

Even if you don't have swordsmanship skills, you can acquire swordsmanship skills by repeating some kind of action, such as swinging a sword. Of course, mastery conditions and probabilities are not publicly available, so it is not certain.

Just enjoying those discoveries is one of the attractions of this game.

"Come on, that's a talent skill first"

Talent skills are also highly mastered, and you can only select up to one. But whatever talent skills you choose, you can simultaneously acquire more than P consumed skills, so it's a good value for money in points. There are fewer points that can be used for other skills due to the large number of points required, but it is recommended for beginners to choose one.

This is an important part of the game style decision in the choice here, so the man confirms in a temper.

"Uh-huh, I'm worried, but I guess it's martial arts talent."

Even when I was younger, I was never good at exercising, but when I got older, my body stopped moving as much as I thought it would. Because it is a virtual reality, it is the idea of a man to want to move his body thoughtfully.

Specialized talent would be better if the weapons I want to use were determined, but I've never had weapons in real life, so I want to try all kinds of things. Besides, I liked the sentence that it works for the movement in general, which is described in The Talent of Wu. The fact that you seem to feel better about your motor nerves somehow is also a major reason the old man decided.

For the elderly, it's the first thing they can enjoy, and they don't want efficiency or the strongest. In fact, mastering talented skills and the strongest is not necessarily equals. It's up to each person to take what's strongest, but it all depends on the skill combination and growth.

In the end, I was convinced in old age, so I choose the talent of martial arts. Then, as a simultaneous mastery, some correction skills were also developed.

[HP Correction LV3] … The higher the positive correction LV to the initial value and growth rate of HP, the greater the effect (max LV5)

[STR Correction LV3] … The higher the positive correction LV to the initial value and growth rate of STR, the greater the effect (max LV5)

[VIT correction LV2] … The higher the positive correction LV to the initial value and growth rate of VIT, the greater the effect (max LV5)

[DEX Correction LV2] … The higher the positive correction LV to the initial value and growth rate of DEX, the greater the effect (max LV5)

[AGI Correction LV2] … The higher the positive correction LV to the initial value and growth rate of AGI, the greater the effect (max LV5)

[Physical operation correction] … Smooth and efficient physical operation with assistive functions The stronger the specific image, the more effective the operation is possible

When the status rises, the ability and assist function according to that item will be enhanced, and realistically unlikely actions such as running 100m in 13 seconds with full body metal armor (full plate armor) will also be possible.

Sometimes, however, only 5P points remain, and the old man decided that no further level up of the status correction system was necessary.

Also, I was glad that [physical ability correction] remained exactly the same image that would improve motor nerves, but I decided to check that [magic manipulation correction] in this system is also an important skill.

[Magic Operation Correction]... Smooth and Efficient Magic Operation with Assisted Functions The stronger the specific image, the more effective the operation is possible

"Yeah, this is mandatory."

Even in the martial arts system, he wanted to try magic because he was a fantasy. If you're not a motor tone madman, you're not a magical tone madman. There's no ex or child. Even magic is a mysterious technique, so the old man thinks it's imperative for him to be less adaptable than the young.

If 3P out of the remaining 5P is also used, but there is no choice, this [Magic Operation Correction] is also selected.

"There are only two points left. I don't know how to use it."

The old man sums up his thoughts looking at the remaining gift and ability skills.

Gift skills basically always activate that effect and have no skill level. I feel that there are two kinds of ability skills: technical skills like [swordsmanship] and [fire magic], and personal ability skills like [appraisal] and [sign detection]. And it is common that both levels can be raised to 10, but I feel that technical skills like [swordsmanship] are easier to level and acquire.

However, technical skills such as swordsmanship can be remembered as special moves such as flying a shockwave from a weapon by increasing the level. The same goes for romantic fun, but given the fight, I just want to keep at least one weapon and magic skill in my possession.

After worrying about the troubles, the skills the old man chose...

[Talent of Wu] 10P... positive correction for talent growth, success, mastery, etc. related to martial arts and exercise in general, but slightly inferior to specialized talent

Concurrent mastery skills

[HP Correction LV3]... the higher the positive correction LV to the initial value and growth rate of HP, the greater the effect

[STR Correction LV3]... the higher the positive correction LV to the initial value and growth rate of STR, the greater the effect

[VIT correction LV2]... the higher the positive correction LV to the initial value and growth rate of VIT, the greater the effect

[DEX Correction LV2]... The higher the positive correction LV to the initial value and growth rate of DEX, the greater the effect

[AGI Correction LV2] … The higher the positive correction LV to the initial value and growth rate of AGI, the greater the effect

[Physical operation correction] … Smooth and efficient physical operation with assistive functions The stronger the specific image, the more effective the operation is possible

[Magic Operation Correction] 3P... Smooth and Efficient Magic Operation with Assisted Functions The stronger the specific image, the more effective the operation is possible

[HEALTH] 1P... Fully recovers in a certain amount of time even if the condition becomes abnormal, which is less likely to cause illness and easily heal the injury.

[Appraisal LV1] 1P… The effect of being able to know the target information depends on the LV

Eventually, the old man chose [health] and [appraisal] for his last skill.

When I was in college, I had an unscrupulous diet and was diagnosed with diabetes, and since I was recently hospitalized for nearly a year with a major illness, [health] could not be removed, even if it was a gaming ability.

And the last point bothered me, but I settled into [appraisal] thinking about skills that were difficult to acquire later but seemed convenient.

I remember things worse with age, so I thought it would be useful when I forgot the names of people and things.

Also, the old man positively thought that combat skills would be easy to remember with the effect of "Talent of Martial Arts," and that magic skills would give him the pleasure of remembering them in the game.

"Okay, it's over. But it took a long time."

More than an hour had already passed since the old man started setting up the game.

"Heh heh, but that's fun. I knew it was a good one."

But old men don't have tired colors. What's there is just satisfaction with what's coming true.

"All right! When I get to rehydrate and toilet, I'm finally logged in! Don't get excited."

The old man's first VR game is just around the corner. The old man's smile, narrowing his eyes and speaking with pleasure, was not entrusted as if he were a boy.
