The tutorial wasn't anything special, Kytel didn't know what he expected but at least he didn't have to wonder what could've been. Menus and screens were easy enough to use, and actually intuitive to navigate through. The line of not-so-helpful help messages eventually guided him to his first task, although he was disappointed to learn it was a simple kill quest, technically he was suppose to pick up some boar hides but really it was a kill quest in nature. A quick glance at his map showed the location of the open field, then started his short trek onwards. 

A field wasn't much to look at, nor were the boars really; what really caught his attention were the variety of players seeking their own batch of hides. Everyone appeared to be the same, all wearing nigh identical basic armor sets, although slight changes in color scheme helped to set them apart. Now what really separated one from the next were their weapons, he saw a healthy number of different arms, some wielded the ever popular swords, some had maces, others used spears, and a few lugged around hefty greatswords, much like his own. As much time he could spend just watching people go about their questing, Kytel had to get started himself.

He found an isolated boar, far enough from it's friends that he was confident in not pulling more than just the one, combat didn't handle like any other game so he wanted to take it easy at first. Kytel thought about how he wanted to open up, even if this was the lowest of mobs he still found himself strategizing as if he were about to get into a real fight, VR games really did have this impressive sense of realism. Kytel pull his weapon from over his head, it was light enough to hold with single handed, but swinging a two-handed sword with one hand was a stupid idea. He held out his free hand, he had some magic to use and he wanted to figure out how it worked, thankfully the tutorial was actually useful for teaching how spells worked. He took a deep breath then shouted.

[i]"Uv!"[/i]

A cyclone of magical runes swarmed all around him before quickly landing on a single one, which he assumed represented "Uv" then all other words disappeared. From his hand burst forth a sizable ball of blue energy, seemed it had a decent drain on his MP meaning he wouldn't be using this spell too much, at least from the start. The energy ball smashed into the boar, it squealed with what sounded like a combination of annoyance of pain, obviously it didn't like that. The beast started to charge Kytel, in response he gripped his sword with both hands, ready to slash out soon as the thing entered his weapon's reach. When he thought the boar was close enough he swung from the side, but soon realized he struck too early; the blade swished through empty air. With no way to stop the boar it collided with him, he stumbled back and the boar was now behind him ready to attack again.

He took some damage, but not a lot, looked like he just lost an inch of health, this was probably his defense aura taking effect, neat. This time Kytel knew what he did wrong, it was a case of misjudging his sword's length. He gathered his strength for a sword skill, another technique successfully taught by the tutorial, then stepped forward as the boar attempted to run him down again. Kytel leaned into a trust, probably not what you're meant to do with such a weapon such as his, but it felt natural. This time he landed a hit, sword skill and all, then the mob prominently exploded into fragments; it was already injured from his magical attack, and a greatsword had decent base damage to begin with. 

One boar down, Kytel accepted his loot that being a single hide. That was seriously fun, maybe grinding out a few more hides would be pretty tolerable after all.
