The brave man who runs a hotel in an RPG

When I realize that I am me, I am already here... Having said that, I am at a loss for "where is this" and "why am I here".

It was pitch black, and I couldn't feel my limbs, as if I was just a consciousness or a soul that was born out of thin air, and hadn't been put into a moving body by the person who created me. Facing this unknown, maybe I should feel scared ?But I didn't, because there was something so conspicuous in front of me that caught my attention.

It was a long input box. Although the shape of pixels was simple, it was not exquisite. The white text next to the input box read "Please enter your character ID". The default original name was Alsis.

When I saw this name, many nostalgic images popped up in my non-existent brain. The images were filled with grotesque monsters, and a mage chanting spells with a stick. The face of the mage was very blurred. But it brought me a familiar breath, and his name was on the verge of coming out of my throat.

"K..."

When I wanted to call out his name, it was like being forced to wake up after a long dream. The memory in the dream faded away like a tide. I racked my brains to go back and forth, but I only vaguely remembered magic. The sporadic scene where the hem of the master's embroidered robe full of gorgeous patterns fluttered in the wind.

——Are these memories from my previous life?

If the name "Alsis" is used, maybe I can recall something when I meet the magician in my dream.

With that in mind, I clicked "OK"...

——Wait, I am obviously just a consciousness without hands and feet, why can I do the behavior of "clicking"?amazing.

Under my operation, the input box was transformed into a message box, and the text appeared in the box: "The instruction has been received, and the personality construction is now... The personality construction is complete, and the character Alsis enters the game."

Half a second later, the message box disappeared, and the black mist that blocked the line of sight was illuminated by white light——

If the previous action of clicking the "OK" button didn't feel real enough, now I can really "see" and "feel" this strange and wonderful world.

My body is very simple, I can't find the torso, and the limbs are like a few square points. I want to touch my face, but unfortunately the current boarding body can't support this behavior, I can't help but feel a little disappointed.

The game screen I see from my eyes can hardly be called sincere (I think my eyes may be just two vertical bars of different shades), the jagged black and white pixels scribbled out the scene in front of me, those pitch-black The lump should be grass, and the thing directly in front of me looks a bit like a treasure chest. The blank circle around the treasure chest is probably to express the concept of "light".

——What will be in the treasure chest?

With doubts, I swayed my cube-like hands and feet comically like a robot and walked over.As soon as my hand touched the surface of the box, the lid of the box bounced off sensitively, and then the treasure box disappeared out of thin air before I could see clearly the structural treasure box in the box, replaced by a sentence that came to mind: "The brave man who was called , the current map has been unfolded for you, now you can turn around and explore the world."

—— Brave?Is that me?This is an rpg game?Why me, I don't want to be summoned at all, and I don't want to defeat the devil to save the world at all.

I don't know why I instinctively resist this identity.

Contrary to my expectations, the guy who created me obviously didn't care about the thoughts of his creations. My vision widened after a moment of blurring. The original single passage was instantly paved under the drive of mysterious power like a folded carpet. The world Evolving from one-dimensional to two-dimensional, influenced by this, I understood the concept of "backward", and also understood "up, down, left, right" and "east, south, north, west".

Exploration... It's such a tiring word, I really don't want to lift a finger if I can... Ah no, I don't have fingers.

With a heavy heart that got into trouble, I turned a corner and walked along the road leading to the north. There was a second treasure chest at the end of the road. I opened this treasure chest as I did last time, and followed it. With the disappearance, I have "hearing" and "smell", maybe there is also "taste".

The sound of wind and birds poured into my body together with the fragrance of flowers and plants, awakening my senses.

——The time when consciousness revives can only be counted as "birth", and at this moment I am truly "alive".

I felt the joy of a new life on the spot, and the feeling of sleepiness came quietly.

Is it because this body was born that it is easy to get sleepy?

"Brave, go and open the next treasure chest!"

A voice in my head urged me.

"Don't worry, the treasure chest won't escape." I muttered back.

As soon as I finished speaking, I was startled. Just now...was it my own voice?

"That's right, it's you—the voice of the brave Alsis, you can already use the chat command."

"..." I really didn't know how to react, so I chose to remain silent.

"Master Brave, please open the next treasure chest."

"No." I declined it.

"...why?" The voice sounded shocked.

"Lack of energy, I need to rest." I said bearing the weight on my eyelids.

"My God, it's just two treasure chests! Could it be that the value set by the Creator is wrong? No, the Creator will not make such a low-level mistake, it must be because you are too lazy." The voice complained.

I was a little powerless: "Don't think that you can speak ill of me because I can't see you."

The other party sensed my displeasure, and immediately changed into a respectful tone: "Master Brave, the world will become richer and more complete as you explore, and you will definitely get more fun from it."

—But I don't need so much fun.

Compared with time-consuming and laborious exploration, lying on the lawn and taking a beautiful afternoon nap is more in line with my outlook on life. Even if there is a chance to awaken the memory of the previous life during the exploration process, I don't want to be driven away like a duck.

Maybe I was a rebellious and unruly problematic teenager in my previous life?

However, in order to enable the "sleep" action command, let me first agree to its request.

"Great, then, Mr. Brave, please go back. There is already a branch road leading to the new treasure chest. I wish you a happy adventure."

The sound disappeared.

Following the guidance of the voice, I opened the third treasure chest at the end of the branch road. The thing in this treasure chest is a sword.

The sword was automatically attached to my right hand, and the voice sounded again: "Master Brave, it seems that you have won the warrior profession. It is really a nostalgic traditional attribute."

I swung my weapon a few times, a little silly.

The voice chattered and explained: "The sword can kill monsters, and it can also cut the weeds that block the way. Of course, chopping firewood is not impossible..."

"Are you the guide for this game?" I interrupted it.

"Yes, I am honored to be your novice guide instead of those low-level text boxes. My AI is very powerful."

Thinking of the blurred-faced magician in my distant memory, I asked, "Am I the only brave man?"

"There is more than one hero in this game, but you are the only protagonist. On the way to defeat the devil, you will gather many excellent friends around you..." It couldn't stop talking again.

"Okay, too many spoilers will spoil the fun." I had to interrupt it for the second time to keep my ears clean.

——And subconsciously, I really dislike the word "devil the devil".

"Hey, is Mr. Brave willing to know a few basic attributes of you?" The voice was not discouraged, and asked with some dog legs.

"You said."

With my permission, it introduced smoothly: "Master Brave's name is Arcis, his occupation is warrior, his age is 18, his level is 1, his exp is 0, his money is 0, and his inventory is empty."

"Stop, I won't give you a salary increase, so please speak in a normal voice." Its voice became more and more doggy, and I couldn't help but state my true thoughts because I felt so awkward.

"Uh... yes."

Hearing that it finally returned to its normal tone, I became a little interested in it: "Speaking of which, what's your name?"

"The guide doesn't have a name, does the brave man want to name me?"

I thought about it for half a second, and the interest disappeared with the wind: "Forget it, it's too troublesome to name it, so you can call it the guide."

Ignoring the disappointment of the guide, I used the sword to clear the obstacles in the road ahead and came to a single-plank bridge. The single-plank bridge connected the land under my feet and the opposite island. Of course, there was a fourth treasure chest in the center of the bridge. I opened it with ease. , with the disappearance of the treasure chest, two slimes flashed on the opposite island.

After all, it's an rpg, so it's strange that there are no monsters. Nowadays, many rpgs will throw a few junior monsters for the players to practice before the game officially starts. It seems that this game is also the same.

"Come on, Master Brave! Use your sword to kill those evil monsters and defend the peace of the mainland!"

The facilitator amuses himself with high spirits, but I am indifferent.

"Master Brave?" The guide raised his voice in surprise when he found me standing still, "Why don't you... kill monsters? Killing monsters can give you experience points, which is a good thing for you. "

I rolled my eyes - I really wanted to if my body allowed it - fighting in this sleepy state?Do not make jokes.

As if I didn't hear the panicked voice of the guide, I bypassed the little guys wandering aimlessly, and stepped straight into a forest.

The next three treasure chests to be opened are bgm, save point and 16-color game screen. The slightly exciting background music reminds me of the army marching under the imperial city. Unfortunately, I am eager for sleep and I am not inspired by this bgm Show no fighting spirit.

The save point is a luminous magic circle. When I pass by it, it can trigger an save behavior. I am not happy about it but silently gave a bad review. If I have to go back here to save every time in this way, I don’t think so. I know how troublesome it is, if it doesn't evolve to be archived at any time in the future, I will definitely ask the guide to complain to the creator of this world.

Among the three treasure boxes, I am most satisfied with the 16-color display screen. Under its rendering, the world I see is one step closer to vividness. The dark green of the trees and the green of the grass are intertwined, and the two together embrace the sky blue. The stream looks so refreshing.

Will opening the treasure chest reduce my stamina, I feel more sleepy.

I casually asked, "Guide, where can I sleep?"

The guide replied: "Master Brave, it's not time to sleep yet, please continue exploring."

Knew you'd get this answer.

I followed the road resignedly, and soon found a new treasure chest. After opening this treasure chest, I was forced to read a long and stinky story, saying that this continent was originally very peaceful, who knows how many centuries Later, the sealed devil came out to make a fuss and turned the world upside down. My duty as a brave man is to kill him and restore peace to the mainland.

Thanks to this cliché game background, my sleepiness index has increased by ten percent.

I continued to move forward. The next treasure chest was 256 colors. The surrounding scenery was even more beautiful. It is not an exaggeration to say that the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. I was healed by the beauty and my spirit was lifted.

I looked around for a while, and there were no more roads on the map, so I asked the guide for help: "Where are we going next?"

"Master Brave, please kill those two slimes, and the passage to the next map will be opened for you."

For some reason, I heard a drop of sweat and three black lines in the voice of the guide.

I looked back at the slime on the opposite bank who was moving his obese body ignorantly, and sighed in my heart, little guys, I didn't mean to bully the little ones, I also wanted to let you live (to rest).

I raised my sword and reluctantly walked towards the slimes.
