"What do these stats do?" He pondered and pondered, but alas, without a guide or someone to teach him, he was clueless. "From what the creators of this game said, there will be no guides or manuals, leaving us, the players, to learn about this game for ourselves..."

"There should be a leveling system in these types of games, but where is the experience bar? What is my level? This feels more like reality than playing a game." Yuan opened and closed his hands into a fist.

Bang!

Suddenly, he punched a nearby tree.

"Ah! It really hurts! Does it hurt because this game is sending pain signals to my brain, making it believe that I am actually hitting a real tree? That's... scary no matter how I think about it."

What if he got stabbed by a sword? What would that feel like? He didn't want to think about it.

"Umm... excuse me, the brother over there..." A sweet voice suddenly resounded behind Yuan, making him turn his head.

"Huh?"

Standing right behind him was a cute little girl in red robes who looked to be around 10 years old, hugging a red ball in one arm and a book in the other.

'How did she get so close behind me without making a single sound? I didn't even notice her presence! And what is such a young girl doing here, in the middle of nowhere? Perhaps there is a city nearby?' Yuan became curious.

"Are you an NPC or a Player?" He asked her, who tilted her head sideways with a puzzled expression.

"NPC? Player? Xiao Hua is Xiao Hua," replied the little girl.

"So your name is Xiao Hua, huh. My name is Yuan."

"How did Brother Yuan manage to get in here?" She suddenly asked him with a curious gaze, almost like it is her first time seeing another person in her life.

"Get in here? We are outside, aren't we?"

She shook her head and said, "We are inside my family's garden."

"Huh? Garden?" Yuan looked stupefied at her answer. "This forest is your garden...?"

She nodded.

If this place that looks like a forest is her family's garden, then how big was the house itself? He couldn't imagine it. While it sounded unbelievable, it also explained why such a small girl like her would appear here.

"Sorry for intruding, but I was teleported here by some old man against my will..." He tried to explain without sounding too crazy. "I'll leave immediately, so can you tell me the way?"

But out of his expectations, the little girl shook her head. "Brother Yuan, since you are already here, why don't you play with Xiao Hua?"

"You want me to play with you?" He did not expect such a request from her.
