I can’t prevent the dust from getting under my beginner’s armor, but it is only slightly uncomfortable. You know, like sandpaper against the skin. I have no words to express my anger and frustration. Some AI has erased my administrator rights and forced me into a player’s position. To make matters worse, my boss Henry has demanded that I start playing the game like anyone else. His idea is to follow Lost’s group and that strange AI with them. All I can do is swallow my rage and bide my time. For now, I will just have to start levelling my character. I walk as fast as I can down into the city, which, thanks to having a character with beginner’s stats, is not very fast. Using the two gold coins I have in my possession, I purchase the lowest quality iron sword and shield. The market in Swordbreak may be completely broken, but the lowest quality items are still affordable to new players. Equipped with my first weapon and shield, I leave the city and walk into the surrounding fields.
