Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Chapter 85: Hepatia Village

Ibro felt weird. That tone of speech made him suspected that he and everyone else's adventure here in the game was monitored deeply by those who control the game.

Ibro didn't have time to reply or think as he was immediately teleported from his place. When he reached his destination, he found himself in wide plains again.

This time there was no road at all. He was standing on the side of a big hill. He looked around him to find this place was filled with many trees with different types and shapes. He heard the distant weak sound of running water.

That was on the other side of this hill. He marched to the top of the hill while he asked Dronil:

'Can you scout this area?'

'I have already done that. This place is an area of connection between a very big river and a huge ocean. The river had many tributaries that branched everywhere.

I won't be surprised if you find later that this river is actually a big tribute to a bigger river. 3 kilometers to the south, there is a big forest that is filled with wild animals and a lot of big trees.

5 kilometers to the east there are three big mountains that are connected together by smaller mountains. My scout can reach this distance only.'

Ibro had already reached the top of the hill so he could see that natural scene that made him feel touched with its beauty. This place was really beautiful and peaceful. The place where he appeared was at the south of this ocean. On the bottom of this hill, Ibro found that river.

It was a really big river that kept curving right and left till it ended in that ocean. Although it wasn't the sky but it was a good start to reach the sky.

Ibro recalled Sefiera's advice, so he moved fast towards that river. There was nearly 2 kilometer between him and that river. The river when it neared the ocean, it was divided into four smaller branches that kept twisting and interacting later to for two bigger branches.

These two branches then ended in the ocean creating a wide wedge-shaped area that was very fertile. If he wanted to build his village, then it would be in the center of this wedged area.

Although he had no way to cross this river branches but he had Dronil and his tough teleportation ability. Although it was a very rough ability but it was the best solution here.

When he reached the river he was moved directly by Dronil. He kept crossing the river in this way till he reached that wedged shape area. When he entered that wide fertile area, he felt it was bigger than what he imagined.

Its surface was over 20 kilometers in size. That was enough to build a village here. He didn't know how would his village grow to be, but in the future, he could worry about such matters.

He was now a newbie in this area so he needed to take his steps one at a time. He went to the center of this wedged island. When he reached there he took a final look around that place to confirm it.

He then took a deep breath and then he opened his Inventory. His Inventory wasn't like his previous Inventory at Rioneed game. It was like a giant warehouse with a free area that reached nearly 100 *100 meters.

He found that stele easily as it was 2*1 meters. Its glistering diamond shape made it easy for Ibro to find. He took it out from his Inventory by grasping it with his hands.

He put it on the ground immediately as it was a lot heavier than he guessed. He didn't hesitate and used his sword to inflict a wound on his hand's skin.

He then stained that stele with his bloodied hand. Suddenly that stele floated on the air by an invisible force. It started to glow with a strange red color.

Ibro felt his blood with staining this stele by pure redness. That process lasted for nearly five minutes then it descended vertically to be inserted deep in the ground causing massive shock in the earth.

Suddenly that mixed red-diamond color extended from that stele as a focal point to cover all the ground around it. Ibro estimated the distance covered with his stele's color.

It was around 5 kilometer in radius. It took nearly the shape of a perfect circle. After that, the earth shook again and suddenly some places around Ibro began to change in a visible rate to the eye.

In less than five minutes, seven buildings were created like they grew from the bottom of the earth. Ibro looked at these marvelous transformations with admiration and pride.

This was the moment of the birth of his village. Once these buildings stopped emerging from under the earth, and when everything settled down. A loud bang was heard in the high skies accompanied by melodious tones.

"World Announcement: congratulation to player Ibro building the first village ever in the game. As a reward, he will have five chances to draw five persons with Personal Attitude 'PA' at least A grade.

The village will have its production stats increased by 100% for one month period. Its protection period will be elongated from one week to 2 weeks.

Village will have 100% increases in villager's daily procreation 'VDP' for one month. Procreated villagers will have higher AP rate during this period."

"System: Congratulation for Player Ibro to successfully establish his village. Please name the village."

Ibro stopped at this question and didn't know how to respond. He didn't think of this small important issue.

He wanted to choose a name that carried a deep meaning to him. Would he choose Pnro? She was his master and she was the one who opened his eyes over the wider universe for the first time.

Should he choose Oya? She was his GF. Would he choose his country's name? or should he choose the name of Rioneed? Every name of these four carried a deep meaning for him.

But he didn't feel this was the right choice. Suddenly he remembered a name that held a significant meaning to him. He smiled and felt comfortable with this name. He said with confidence:

"I choose the name of my village to be Hypatia."

"Are you sure you want the name Hypatia? Once you choose the name you wouldn't be able to change it."

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Congratulation to player Ibro to succeed in building his Hepatia village.

Your village stele grade is a mythic grade. As a result, seven basic buildings were added to your village. These buildings were chosen either randomly or the pre-set buildings in every village. To know more info please display the village properties panel."

Ibro watched the disappearance of this small window from his sight. After that, the stele was inserted deeper in the ground till only its tip was visible on the ground by half a meter.

Ibro looked around him and then said loudly:

"Display the village propertied panel."
