PROLOGUE

"Tutorial Island"

Those were the first two words I actually read on the RuneScape game screen. After I finished designing my persona, I followed instructions. Cutting wood, making fires, catching fish, all those things were part of the itinerary here. Not being able to chat with anyone, I just moved along and laughed at all the funny usernames and how they chose to dress themselves.

A few minutes later, after I finished killing a bunch of rats with my newly acquired Bow and Arrows, I meekly climbed a ladder to the surface world to conquer.. Err.. I mean, COMPLETE my mission on Tutorial Island. This learning about friends and using magic. (Why you had to learn about friends, who knows.) So I did what I was told, and I finally came to a point where a mage asked me if I would care to go to the mainland so I could start my adventure. I gladly accepted, and after some cheesy music, I found myself in a densely populated area.

The first words I heard from other people were "omfg great another n00b."

Well, what I really want to let you know that I heard that I was in the town that starts it all - Lumbridge.

With a full inventory and a nice pose, I walked about the town to start my adventure.

Name? Metroman72. Mission? Conquer.. Err.. COMPLETE the quests and gain rewards, and get the highest level possible.

My mission had begun. But before I did anything "heroic," I had to conquer the "n00b" status.
