A bright light enveloped Ace's body.
"Whoah! This is cool," he murmured as the sensation washed over him.
When the light dissipated, Ace found himself in a bustling, unfamiliar place. The Town of Beginnings was a sprawling market square, thronged with people of all sizes and appearances. Everyone was active: shopping, strolling, or crowding around busy vendor stalls.
"There are so many people here. What kind of place is this?" Ace wondered aloud.
"Oh, so this is the newbie zone," Ace processed the information quickly. "By the way, who are you, speaking inside my mind?" Despite the useful data the voice was providing, Ace was curious about the source.
"Okay, I got it." Ace immediately grasped the AI's function. "My first question: after I reach Level 5, what happens?"
"How does this ranking system work?" Ace threw out his next question. He was eager to learn all the competitive details of the game.
"So it's almost the same as the game I used to play," Ace mused, already planning his competitive strategy. "What are the ranks in this game?"
** Unranked: Located in the Town of Beginnings.
Bronze: Located in The Bronze River Town.
Silver: Located in Silverus Town.
Gold: Located in Golden Road Town.
Platinum: Located in the City of Platinum Hearts.
Diamond: Located in the Diamond Soul City.
Queen: The second highest, located in the Majestic Queen City.
Imperial King: The highest rank, located in the King's Capital City.
Each rank, except Unranked, is further divided into divisions, from 1-Star to 5-Stars.>**
"Based on that explanation, the Town of Beginnings isn't the only accessible place. This is amazing!" Every detail Ace learned only fueled his excitement. "It's not only a MOBA, but also an MMORPG!"
"So, what's the next thing I need to know?"
"Status!" Ace repeated. A transparent, rectangular panel containing various data appeared floating before him.
ID:RiverdeerLv:1 Exp: 0/50Battle Points:1000Crystal:0Heroes:0Achievements:NoneRunic Page:>Physical, >Magical, >Durable, >Ninja, >Support, >Farm
Ace carefully memorized every detail. The Runic Page system was particularly familiar yet needed thorough study, as it would significantly affect his performance and the power of his heroes.
"Okay, Ms. AI, what's next?"
