When Lee Hyun was connected to Royal Road, the first sound that reached his ears was a feminine voice.

He looked around to see who had spoken to him, but there was no one else; a space within the universe. Then he realized that he was in the middle of the activation process of a new account.

"Yes!"

"Weed." Weed, the lowliest of the low in the plant kingdom. To Lee Hyun, it sounded most suitable for him.

"Male!"

"Pass!"

- Select a city and kingdom you want to start.

"The Citadel of Serabourg, Rosenheim Kingdom!"

- Welcome to Royal­-

"Pass!"

Afraid to waste even a second, Lee Hyun skipped the tutorial stage and made quick decisions according to his prearranged plan. Three hundred thousand won monthly bill for the game was a great expense to him.

In Royal Road, there are over a hundred major cities and thousands of towns. A new player begins his adventure in a capital or a major city of comparable size.

Similar to where Weed is starting out.

Flash

With a flash of light, he appeared in the Citadel of Serabourg, Rosenheim.

"This is..."

Weed was swayed by the sight of countless avatars, users and NPCs-Non-Player Characters-alike, that he thought he was lost in the middle of Seoul.

"Where am I? Unbelievable!"

Astonished, Weed couldn't believe his eyes as he looked around. The racket of those haggling and chattering rang in his ears. The view unfolding before his eyes was exactly the same as the real world, with people busy coming and going.

He lowered his eyes to his legs standing on the ground. His senses told him that it felt absolutely solid. Strangers passed him by as he stood still in a daze.
