(A/N)
This is my sixth official story and my first Runescape story. Please support me with reviews. Thank you! And if you flame me, I wanna know the reason. End of Author's Note.
"What a great day!" I said happily as I looked up at the sky covered with white flossy clouds. The sun seemed to be smiling at me. I had an urge to sing 'Mr. Sun' but I didn't.
I am Ben Bellamy who was just starting out on my Runescape journey. I lived in a small shack in the mountains and had just turned 15 this year. Every year, newly-turned 15 year olds must go to the land of Runescape by a big ship enough to hold 50 people and start their Runescape journey.
I sighed as I lay on a bench on the ship and enjoyed the sunset.
We reached our destination in an hour. Excited teenagers rushed out of the ship, excited to start their journey. I went to a house where the Runescape Tutorial lived.
"Hello. Are you new?" the bald man, supposedly the Runescape Tutorial smiled at me.
"Yep. They call me Ben Bellamy around here. But you can just call me BB for short."
"Alrighty then. The folks here call me Johnny. I am the well-known Runescape Tutorial."
I snorted at the 'well-known' word and then shrugged, "so, what do I have to do?"
"Well, as you're new, my purpose here is to teach you to talk to NPCs like me." smiled Johnny.
Well-known indeed, he's just one of those random Runescape Tutorials, I thought, before replying, "okay."
"Since you have learnt how to talk, I suggest you go and see Bryanna. She normally hangs out at the garden near my house and teach starting adventurers to cook, chop down a tree, and light a fire. Just walk forward a few centimeters and you will be at Bryanna's immediately." Johnny said.
I nodded, opened the door, and walked out hastily.
I walked for quite a bit. Trust that old man to say centimeters. He must have been mistaken. I've walked almost a few meters now, I thought. Then I spotted a woman with long brown hair and a red dress.
"Hello. You must be Bryanna." I put on my best neat smile.
"Yes I am. And you would be a new adventurer? What would your name be?" Bryanna gave me a warm smile.
"Ben Bellamy. They call me BB around here." I introduced myself.
"Okay then. Now as Johnny had tell you, I am the tutorial for cutting trees, lighting fires, and cooking. Now, try cutting that tree over there." Bryanna pointed to a tall tree. It looked very weak.
"How do I cut it?" I asked curiously.
"You will need this." Bryanna handed me an axe. "Now you just go over there and chop down the tree with the axe."
I nodded, muttering a word of "okay" and went over to cut the tree. I attacked it like it was a monster and then finally the tree came down. I got the logs and went back to Bryanna.
"I've chopped down the tree. Where do I put this logs?" I asked.
"Here is your new item. You will need it for carrying things." Bryanna handed me an old-fashioned bagpack. I hung it over my shoulder and stuffed my logs into it.
"Now, with your logs, you have to light a fire." Bryanna instructed me, and handed me a tinderbox. "You can light your logs with a tinderbox. Now, go there where those starting adventurers are lighting fires and light your own."
"Okay." I nodded and went forward.
I began making my fire. "Hi, how do you do? I'm Azazan Sasuke, but people just call me Sasuke. I'm from Japan." an adventurer who had just finished lighting his fire smiled at me.
"Hello. I'm Ben Bellamy, BB for short. So you're from Japan? I'm from Mountainvile." I grinned as I succeeded in lighting my fire.
I went to talk to Bryanna. "I've succeeded in lighting a fire!" I cheered.
"Very good, BB. I can see it burning heartily over there. Now, with a fire, you can cook." Bryanna pointed to a small river. "You can fish for shrimps there. Here is a fishing net." Bryanna handed me a strong net.
I went over to the river and waited patiently for shrimps.
"Hey, don't you have to do the tutorial too?" I asked Sasuke, who was standing a few feet behind me.
"Nah. Completed this stage. I just hang out here more often so I can increase my fishing level, firemaking level, and woodcutting level." Sasuke grinned. "In here, there are more trees than anywhere in the world! Except Lumbridge…"
"Lumbridge?" I asked curiously as I held up the shrimp I had just caught.
"It is the town you go to when you've complete everything on Tutorial Island." Sasuke told me.
I nodded and went over to Bryanna. "Here. How do I cook this?" I asked her, passing her the shrimp.
"Well, you cook it in a fire." Bryanna pointed to the fire I had lit.
"Okay then." I was feeling hungry, and this was just the right time to cook up some stuff. I put my shrimp into the fire, careful not to scald my hand.
Oops! I had burnt the shrimp.
"Don't worry about that. It happens to first-time cookers every time." Sasuke laughed.
"So what do I do now?" I asked.
"Fish for another shrimp and cook it." Sasuke shrugged.
I caught a shrimp within a minute and cooked it. When it was cooked, I snatched it from the fire. I wasn't letting it get burnt again.
I walked over to Bryanna and showed her my cooked shrimp. She applauded me. "You've done well, BB. Now you must visit the Quest Tutor who lives in a house not far from here. Go through that gate and follow the path until you see the Quest Tutor's house. I hope I see you again, BB. Bye!" Bryanna waved and continued talking with starting adventurers to teach them the basics of woodcutting.
I shrugged and went over to the gate. Sasuke followed.
"I thought you wanted to stay back." I said.
"I figured I had to strike out there. I can't stay there fishing for the rest of my life. And now, there's a friend to chat with, it adds to the pleasure." Sasuke grinned and went up the path.
I shot him a boring look and walked forward. We spotted a house soon after.
"That must be where the Quest Tutor lives." Sasuke whispered.
We stepped in and a man with white hair and a black suit greeted us.
"Hello. My name is Len. I am here to teach you about quests. I suppose you have meet Bryanna?" Len asked.
We nodded and I muttered, "yeah."
"Okay then. What's your name?"
"I'm Azazan Sasuke, but just call me Sasuke." Sasuke grinned.
"Ben Bellamy here, BB for short." I shook hands with Len.
"Well, here is your Quest Journal."
"What do we need that for?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"A Quest Journal records all the quests in Runescape. Those coloured in red are those you have not done, those coloured in yellow means you are doing the quest but you haven't complete it, those coloured in green means you have completed the quest." Len finished in a single breath.
We nodded absentmindedly and took a look at our Quest Journals. All were coloured in red.
"Well, since now you know about quests, you should take a look at that cave underneath my house where you will find your next tutor." Len pointed to a opened trapdoor.
We muttered a word of thanks and jumped down to meet our next tutor…..
