MMORPG: Genesis

Damage Dealt: 0

John slowly got back up while looking at the rabbit. 

The rabbit was keeping a slight distance between itself and John but also blocking John's access to the herbs. 

"Come on little guy we don't have to do this do we?" John tried to reason with the rabbit who just stared back at him. 

"I only need one and I will be gone." Yet the rabbit did not move. 

John tried moving to the left a little and the rabbit moved with him, always keeping itself between John and the herbs. 

John decided he would try to trick the little guy. 

He slowly started to turn around as if making to leave and when he saw the rabbit relax slightly, he made a dash for the herbs. 

The rabbit was too quick though and thud. 

[Damage taken: 6} 

[Current HP: 88/100] 

John was once again slammed in the chest and ended up on his ass. 

This time, however, the rabbit did not stop there as soon as it landed back on the ground it took aim at the human who was now sitting on the ground and shot at him again. 

Thud 

[Critical Hit]

[Damage taken: 12} 

[Current HP: 76/100] 

This time the impact pushed him down to the ground. 

He took a quick look to the side to see the rabbit crouching ready to take another shot at him and as he saw its muscles tense, he rolled his body to the side. 

[Player Dodged] 

The rabbit missed and landed a couple of meters away from John before spinning around to make another leap. 

John quickly jumped up to his feet and watched the rabbit carefully. 

As it once again leaped towards him John side-stepped and smacked the rabbit away with his hand.

[Damage Dealt: 0] 

"Fuck" John said before a noise from the bush attracted his attention. 

Two more white rabbits appeared which John did a quick check over. 

[Name: White Rabbit (Normal)]

[HP: 100] 

[MP: 20]

[Level: 1] 

[HP: 100] 

[MP: 20] 

[ATP: 6 + 3] 

[END: 5 + 2] 

"Shit" John said before making the only choice he could, he turned on his heel and fled. 

The rabbits chased him for a moment but then stopped and turned back when they got too far from the herbs. 

"What the fuck, I can't even damage a level 1 rabbit without a weapon." 

After a moment he decided to go look elsewhere but he made a mental note of the location just in case. 

He was not so shallow that he would return for revenge when he was stronger, but if he ever needed Briarthorn, he at least knew the location of some even if it was protected by some OP bunnies. 

After searching for a few minutes, he heard a new notification sound he had not heard before and a window appeared before him. 

[Message received from: Genius Silver Scientist] 

[Do you wish to open?] 

[Yes] [No] 

"Yes" John said as he could guess who this message was from, and sure enough. 

[John its Thasinia, you have been in the game for a while now, log out so we can check the MK 0 results and condition.] 

"Well, I guess that's it for now, shame.] John said out loud before saying. 

"Log out" 

[*WARNING*] 

[You are not in a safe zone, logging out from here will take 30 seconds where you will not be able to move your body, any damage received in this time will cancel the log out procedure.] 

[Are you sure you wish to log out here?] 

[Yes] [No] 

"Well, it's a good thing I learnt that early" 

"Yes" John said before feeling his body freeze all over and he was unable to move it even after he tried.

[Log out procedure initiated] 

[Log out in 29 seconds] 

[28 seconds] 

[27 seconds] 

..... 

[2 seconds] 

[1 second] 

[Logging out thank you for playing Genesis.]

As John opened his eyes, he stretched his body before looking around and saw he was still lying on the medical bed while Thasinia was looking at some monitors. 

Tanelia and Alea were no longer in the room. 

"Ugh," John moaned when his body felt stiff. 

Thasinia turned around upon hearing his moan and smiled when she saw he was awake. 

"Welcome back kid, don't worry about the stiffness of your body, you get used to it and it will be fine in a moment." 

John nodded before asking. 

"Where are Queen Tanelia and Alea?" 

"Ho missing them already?" Thasinia said with a teasing smile before continuing. 

"Tanelia had royal duties to attend to and Alea said she was going to do a group call with her friends Sarah and Adria." 

"They wanted to ask Sarah about the 'Perfect Blood of the Immortal Phoenix Pearl' and also Alea wanted to ask about updates regarding the arrest and detainment of the humans in Dawnscape City." 

"I tell you it's got all the race's talking and the Genesis World News is covering it as all the race's want more information not just the human race." 

"Why don't you watch it while I run some tests on the MK 0?" Thasinia said before pointing to a holographic projector. 

"Ok sure but how do I work that thing?" John asked, having never had the chance to use one. 

"Oh, right I forgot you wouldn't know, just go over to it and tell it what channel you want displayed, here give me the MK 0." 

John nodded as he took off the MK 0 and handed it to Thasinia who placed it on a scanner and started doing something on a different holographic projector. 

John walked over the one Thasinia pointed out to him before saying "Genesis World News Channel" 

After which the projector shot a beam of light up into the air which expanded to become a wide screen that showed a presenter sitting behind a desk before sound came through. 

"Repeating our top stories tonight." 

"The human race has been all the talk of Atlantia this night as they first received a huge boon from Blue Ice Queen before Tia made a Racial Punishment Announcement against them."
