Overlord: The Path of Sin

Yggdrasil - 2

"Link start," he said aloud.

A weird sensation trickled down his body, and he felt himself detach from reality for a moment before emerging in a clear blue interface. It displayed an interface consisting of multiple windows with various games and applications ready to be opened.

He used his hand to swipe through the interface, and the game Yggdrasil finally came into view.

Glowing golden letters were suspended in front of him within a window, seemingly inviting him to immerse himself in the vast world that awaited.

With a simple finger gesture, he tapped on the game, and soon he found himself floating in a white space with a translucent golden interface hovering before his eyes.

[Welcome to Yggdrasil]

These golden letters greeted him, followed by:

[Tutorial Available]

[Do you want to go through tutorial]

[Yes/No]

Lucian glanced at the options and pressed "Yes." Swiftly going through the tutorial, he absorbed the information about character creation and other stuff.

The process took him a total of 20 minutes, but it was a worthwhile investment as the game mechanics were undeniably interesting.

While Lucian was aware that Yggdrasil offered extensive character customization that left players astonished, now that he dived into the game himself, he understood its true greatness. This game was undoubtedly a hidden gem he had been missing out on.

As he mentally absorbed the character customization guide, he searched for any potential loopholes he could exploit. The game's mechanics were detailed, with each element being complex and intricately tied to a backstory. At this point, he was only familiar with the most fundamental aspects of the game.

Lucian looked at the new interface hovering before him:

[Enter the game]

[Yes/No]

He selected 'Yes' once again, and felt himself shifting through space, arriving in a huge hall filled to the brim with numerous humanoid silhouettes of various individuals, all resembling each other.

His eyes drifted to all the corners of his vision.

In the top left corner of his vision, he noticed a screen displaying his character's name, which was empty. Any further details such as race or class were also devoid of any further details since he hadn't made those choices yet. The top right corner of his view displayed the time, which read 10:45 in the morning.

In the bottom left corner, another interface caught his attention, featuring options such as menu, chat, Call GM, and log out. On the bottom right corner, a mini-map was displayed, currently white and devoid of any markings or information.

In the center of his vision was a small rectangular window displaying the name of the place:

[Place : Character Creation Room].

He was indeed in the Character Creation Room

Lucian looked at each corner and observed people appearing, disappearing, and reappearing as they finished customizing their characters.

His attention then turned to the window floating at the center of his vision.

[Character Customization]

[Choose an In-Game Name]

[Warning! The name will be visible to other players and on the ranking board]
