I like them big, do you?

Chapter 2: Faynom World

"I expected more stuff for the first immersive game world," Reylin commented while looking at the VR Helmet on the desk.

His butler, Sebastian, bowed and said, "I was also shocked about it, young master. Those helmets are cheap, and most can afford them. You also don\'t need any internet connection as the company promised worldwide experience. I don\'t know how it works exactly, but the technology must\'ve advanced this far!"

"World-wide... Hah! I bet I will meet a lot of old friends then." Reylin snickered.

Sebastian nodded, knowing that throughout his life, Reylin made a lot of enemies and allies. Unfortunately for him, his country had more enemies. In the past, many wealthy brats wanted to get closer to him just because their parents told them to.

Reylin was already in his rebellious mode, and he threatened everyone with sparkles.

As he grew older, the sparkles changed into bombs that shattered many valuable things such as phones, new brand clothes, and... houses.

Reylin put the VR helmet on and relaxed on the bed.

He peeked at the clock, and when the right time approached, his eyes closed, and the helmet wholly covered his face! It looked like no air could sneak its way toward his nostrils!

The VR Helmet was designed in such a way, but Reylin\'s life wasn\'t in danger, "It would be funny if the company killed everyone in such a way."

"Please, don\'t joke in such a way, young master." Sebastian sweated, and he needed to wipe off his forehead.

Soon, Reylin felt the unknown pressure sucking him in!

His mind flew toward the fantasy world, leaving his body behind. On the VR Helmet, the green dot appeared!

Sebastian nodded and confirmed everything was okay with the young master, then left for the coffee... "It\'s the young master\'s time to play the game... If so, does that mean it\'s my time to finally relax?"

Sebastian was around thirty years old, but he already had a lot of white hair.

One could only wonder why...

[Please, input your nickname.]

[Rey Flame Lin.]

[Nickname is available.]

"Smart."

[Please, custom your appearance.]

"Unnecessary."

Reylin slapped this message away, then the important skill set appeared before his eyes. In this game, Reylin obviously wanted to wield the flames and be creative with those. He picked the mage class.

[Mage Class has been chosen.]

[By interacting with the world and leveling up your class, you will be able to evolve your class further.]

"Yep."

A little important information spread before Reylin\'s eyes then.

The information was about the HP and MP system, the world and its exploration, and other things that would be best explained initially. It also told Reylin a little about the tutorial.

The tutorial would throw him randomly to the Faynom World. Reylin would face the level one monsters and probably other players in that random location should they show some interest in PK.

Without further ado, Reylin stepped into the new world!

[Welcome to the Faynom World, Rey Flame Lin.]

Splash!

Reylin landed in a pond. He was roughly thrown into another world, and his clothes soaked a little of the water. His clothes were simple, with a cotton shirt and leather pants. His boots were simply uncomfortable, and the water didn\'t help him with that feeling.

His eyes rose to scrutinize his background, "Sewage? I am actually here?" The first game impression was astonishing despite the location.

It was too real-life feeling, and even the water\'s coldness felt genuine. Everything was just like real life, so Reylin didn\'t complain.

He stood up and took out the short staff from his inventory.

As a mage, Reylin couldn\'t have imagined a different weapon. However, in his case, he wanted to feel the flames with his own hands. That weapon was at most a temporary one, and Reylin would do thorough research for his ambition.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

"A cute slime indeed. An opponent every new player wouldn\'t be so scared about," Reylin chuckled while looking at the slime.

A jelly creature was round and transparent, with much trash lodged within its body. From branches to some wrappers, the slime had absorbed a lot of stuff! It jumped and splashed water around, then its round eyes locked on Reylin.

[Dirty Slime Lv. 1 HP: 50/50 MP:10/10]

[Grade: Common.]

"Fireball," Reylin uttered the name of the skill.

Mages could pick elements they wanted to play with, and Reylin had chosen his favorite. However, the skill didn\'t activate itself! Instead, Reylin\'s staff taunted the dirty slime, and its round body jumped toward him!

Reylin\'s eyes narrowed, "Don\'t tell me I have to click skill on the skill list first?" He thought out loud, then slapped the slime away!

[-1 HP!]

Reylin clicked his tongue and clicked on the skill. The game system sucked a little of his mana, and Reylin felt an unfamiliar feeling going across his body.

It was like his staff drew out that feeling and channeled it to its tip.

The staff lit up with the flames, and a fireball swept through the sewage, going for the slime.

BANG!

"Ohhh... Satisfying, satisfying!" Reylin exclaimed with excitement.

He liked the appearance and the sound of his flames! Reylin felt really good after shooting that fireball, but it was far from perfect.

The first problem was that it was too small!

"I like them big," His fireworks and bombs always created a flashy scene!

The second problem was that Reylin couldn\'t chant the skill. He believed the game wouldn\'t suppress him like that in the future, but why would he wait? Reylin wanted to use his flames with the utmost freedom, just like how his life was on Earth!

He peeked at the damage his fireball had done, and he clicked his tongue for the second time, "Immersive VR World has its own rules."

Immediately after he said it, Reylin kicked forward and surprised the slime with his brave charge! He thrust his staff toward the flame, and its jelly body absorbed the tip inside! With his weapon in, Reylin focused and remembered the feeling from before.

[You have used The Fireball Skill.]

[-40 HP!]

[You have killed Dirty Slime Lv.1]

[Your understanding of The Fireball Skill has increased.]

[The Fireball Skill\'s rank has increased.]

[The Fireball Skill(A)(E)]

It was an active skill and its rank upgraded to E.

That upgrade increased damage by a few % more, so even if others had the same level, Reylin\'s fireball would come out at the top!

He smiled widely, "I\'ve chosen flames. And you have chosen me. Let\'s roll." Reylin whistled, took the potions from the slime to his inventory, and went on the hunt!

On this hunt, he leveled up two times and met the first player in the game.

It was a lady with the same class and element.

Reylin whistled louder, "Hi there, woman. You have the pleasure of being my first opponent. If you impress me, I will let you play as a fire mage."

"Huh? What\'s up with such a declaration? Are you high already?" The lady asked.

Reylin burst out laughing, "Haha! Well, I want to see how far this game has gone. If I smash my fireball on your face, will I peel your skin? I really want to see how far realism is set up in this game. So far, I am more than amazed."

At once, Reylin let out a fireball from his staff. He was too fast for the lady, and she didn\'t expect him to be this good already. Furthermore, she made a newbie mistake which was not checking Reylin\'s level.

He leveled up faster, and he basically was the king of this domain now.

The fireball flew at fast speed, and it landed on the lady\'s face head-on!

"Ahhhhh!" She screamed, but that was mainly due to the surprise.

The game had lowered pain sensors automatically, and all she felt was prickling. However, the flames in her eyes scared her witless, and she dropped onto her knees.

Those flames dispersed a few breaths later, and the lady noticed her face in the water\'s reflection...

Reylin whistled, "Beautiful realism."

The lady couldn\'t recognize her face!

"I will kill you!" She howled in response!

"Hmm. Since I like to blow things up, I have a prepared line for the ladies. And that is, I will blow up your ass, sexy."

"Die, you scoundrel!"
