EPISODE 29: A WEEKEND SPENT IN THE REAL WORLD PART III: XCALIBUR AOP 2!UNION OF THE WORLDS PART II: LEVEL ONE: CAVEMEN!
Keiran and Concordia were in a rocky land that was very windy.
"So what do we do now?" Concordia asked.
"RPGs usually have tutorials and things of the like. We should probably go through ours" Keiran suggested.
"Didn't know you were a gamer" Concordia said.
"Aside from a certain tale about time, this is the only other MMORPG I've played. I tend to play more of offline games" Keiran said.
Keiran accessed his menu and a screen popped up. He checked the tutorials.
"The first level of this game is the Caveman Level. Beginning from the moment this message terminates, your HP is going to gradually begin to diminish but don't worry, if your HP does hit zero, you'll just have to replay this level" the message said and ended.
"That's all?! No clues on how to survive this level?! That's some dumb tutorial. Dad and Mom would never slack off in design!" Concordia complained.
"Actually" Keiran rubbed his head while laughing nervously, "I think this is my Dad's doing" he said.
"What?! Why would he do that?!" Concordia asked.
"Well, his method of training goes more along the Zen style. He tends to guide you with clues but will never directly tell you the solution to your problem" Keiran admitted.
Concordia sighed.
"Well, in every RPG, there are recovery items and things of the like" Concordia said.
"If you think about it deeply, a lot of our clues are actually in the game's backstory" Keiran said.
"What do you mean?" Concordia asked.
"Our ultimate goal is to reconnect the continents. To do this, we must rediscover and develop all the necessary tools from scratch and the first level of the game is ironically entitled 'The Caveman Level'" Keiran said with a laugh.
Concordia had a funny expression on her face.
"Your Dad sure has a sense of humour doesn't he?" she said.
"To sustain our HP, we're going to have to hunt for recovery items periodically. This is the 'Hunting and Gathering' stage" Keiran explained.
"First, we should secure shelter. If weather conditions have been encoded into the game as well, we need shelter from adverse weather conditions. It could also serve as a storage facility for the recovery items we gather" Concordia said.
"Leave that to me" Keiran said as he stretched his hands forward.
A hollowed out rectangular block of earth arose from the ground. Keiran roofed it.
"Voila! We have a house now!" Keiran said as he made the symbol for victory with his hands.
Concordia had an impressed look in her eyes.
"You've got to teach me how to do that!" she said.
Keiran smiled.
"You should be able to do this. After all, you transformed your arrows from wood to steel" he said.
"I can make minor alterations to my sigil's elemental composition as well as alter its form but I'm not very good at raw elemental control" Concordia admitted.
"I see. You're the type that channels their elemental affinities through their sigils" Keiran realized.
Concordia nodded.
