How to train your dragon: black and blue.

Chapter 1: Hiccup.

Black and blue. Two colours which match almost perfectly. Of course there is time when they don't but that is the same with almost anything, however right now the darkest black of the night fury and the lightest blue of the Deadly Nadder matched. They flew in a beautiful dance of power and grace. Flying high into the sky almost kissing the sun above, only to fall down to the ocean below. Weaving left and right between pillars of rock and the cave of cliffs. They played games of cat and mouse one leading the other only to switch and repeat. They rider laughed in pure joy, free from their life, free from they rules, free from their lose. Yet in a few hours it would end and they would return to normal life because after all it was only a game.

/5 years earlier./

He sat looking at his phone waiting for the moments to tick by for his Oculus NU to come activate. The year was 2025, life was more or less the sames as it had been in the last decade not matched had changed. Cars still drove on wheels and people controlled them, people still attacked each other with only a few outliers asking for peace and life simply carried on. Yet there was one change, a develop that would change not just the gaming world but the living one and it all started with a man called Kazuto Hiraga. He reacted the Oculus NU or to be more accurate he created 2 versions of them, you see the NU was a virtual reality device. Not one like you had in the past where you put a eye mask on and used remote to move, no it was something different, it took your mind and put it in a shared dream state plugging you into a world shared by other and felt real, because it was. At least in your mind. The NU worked by putting you in a coma and connecting your mind to a serve, of course to a lot people this seemed unsafe and crazy but after many tests and lawsuits it was finally ready.

There were of course risks with the NU, things could go wrong as such 2 versions were created, a safe option and a slightly risky one. The risky version had to house in arcade like buildings and monitored by staff. The user would have to pay 50p for use of the device and select their choice of game with of right now there was only one being released. The user would then be taken to a chair and strapped down. Wires would be put of their body to both monitor their well being, feed their body and let the system connect to them. Then the user or now player would be allowed to use the NU until 9pm when the Arcade closed. As such if some one arrived at 9am they could play for 12 hours straight without having to worry about food or break, however if someone did this they would be put on a 24 hour ban by law so they could take a break, this was to stop unhealthy addiction and possible death from multrion.

The safer option was the favourable choice of the 2 come into pairs of 2 and meant be to played in the pairs the second NU device was pod like chamber in which the user laid in side as circuits in the uncomfortable foam bedding worked their magic and did the same as the arcade version, putting the user into a coma/ dream like state the pod however came with a forced timer (FT) every 3 hours so the user could eat and hydrate, the NU blocked they from access for 30 minutes so these things could happen. Secondly it was connect to the emergency services so that if the NU detected any physical or mental issues someone would be send instantly. Finally it was a personal device which meant there was no limit of usage time other than the FT, however this device cost fair more. It cost £350,000 to be exact meaning only a small number of people would have access to this version...Hiccup was one of those people.

Henry 'Hiccup' Haddock, son of Stoick Haddock CEO of Oculus games, owned a Personal NU and now he was waiting the last few moments before he would have access to the game coming with the device, the game his father helped create. Riders, Riders was a MMORPG game set in a the Viking era in land known as the archipelago (Arch). The land was made of lots of islands both big and small, homing all manners of Bandits, Thieves and Dragons. The player played as a Dragon rider and was tasked with leveling questing and becoming as strong as possible. Just like any other MMORPG. To say people were excited was a understatement. OK that's not true there was a lot of people who hated the idea of the both Riders and the NU but there was enough people who longed to escape that the NU was able to come to being. Enough people that allowed the NU to now light up in a purple neon glow letting Henry know the device to was ready. Enough people to allow the NU to give those who wanted it a new life.

/Game world./

Having laid down within the pod and suffering a few moments of claustrophobia. Henry found him standing a black room. He looked around and saw nothing. He began to panic but then there was a flash followed by a message . Welcome to the world of the NU and welcome to riders. Before we begin fill required below. Henry did so as fast as he could.

After finishing the message vanished only to be replace with a new message. Thank you Hiccup for joining Riders in few moments you will enter the archipelago… enjoy.

Then there was a blinding flash of white, when it cleared Hiccup was in a town square, where people, most likely NPC, moved round him doing their work. It was incredible, it felt so real...it was real. People worked, talked and did thing they would do IRL. the only difference was that he saw standing in a viking town with wooden buildings paved floor and not a car in sight, there was of course Dragons, lot of small one running around like pests annoying the locals but making Hiccup chuckle.

With a shake of his head Hiccup opened his menu with a slick of his hand, something the game manual he had read a few days prior told him to do. On his character menu he saw look of his character. Unfortunately it was a carbon copy of his real look. His person NU took a scan of him and loaded it in game adding to the realism, however he wasn't wearing his clothes anymore he was now wearing a green cloth top and trousers 0.25 armour each yak hide coat. 0.5 armour. It wasn't much but it was something and then in his inventory he saw it, a dragon egg. Hiccup clicked on the sub text of the egg, Your dragon egg, to hatch it reach level 10. That sounded easy enough so Hiccup moved on and looked at his stats strength 2, perception 6 Educance 3 charisma 1 intelligence 7 luck 5. Hiccup groaned, his stats match him pretty well he was strong but he could make sense of a situation he could take many hits and bruised easily nor was he very good at talking to people but he had photographic memory meaning he could remember anything he saw but what did surprise him was his luck, he was known for being pretty unluck so the 5 luck was odd. He decide to ignore it now and look at his journal, he saw he only had one simple quest. Go look for the blacksmith for work. It was simple expually as the forge was right in front of him.

Walking up to the shop Hiccup cleared his throat to get the attention of the big bulky viking man. Once the bang stopped Hiccup got a good look at the smith, bold other than the ponytail moustache on his face. The smith was also missing a arm and leg. His leg replaced by a peg one and his missing hand was a hammer. The smith now standing front of Hiccup looked grumpy as all hello and Hiccup was only slightly terrified. That was until the smith smiled bright and spoke. "How you doing laddy, how can i help ya.?"

"Ima, I'm a looking for work have you got anything." Hiccup asked simply

"Of course i do lad, got some terrible terrors cause issues round the border town, take one of these weapons go bash them."

Hiccup nodded and was ready to look at the 3 weapons before him...none of which he could use.. Axe. strength required: 6. DPS: 2.3 range: close Bow. strength required 4. Dps: 2.5 range : long. Longsword. Strength required: 3 Dps 2.4 Range: close. "Um have you got anything lighter?"

"Nope sorry, can't help you there, you can always go punch the terrors but i wouldn't advise it it only tends to anger them." The smith said with a smile on his face from a distance memory.

Hiccup was pissed, he couldn't play, there was a huge roadblock just because of his stats. But then an idea came to his head, he like to make thing hell his room was filled with little projects designs. As such the smith before him gave him an idea. "Is there a chance you can train me I need work and if i can't hunt i might as try to be helpful in other ways."

The smith was taken back by the request but after a few moments he responded, "Have you even done work in a forge."

Hiccup shook his head. "No but if you show me once, put me out the way i'm sure i can at least help."

The smith nodded. "Aye lad, but i only showing once, if you don't get it right first time you got to find something else."

Hiccup gave a simple nodded, the smith took him to the back and showed him how to sharpen and axe, which Hiccup could barely hold, the smith showed Hiccup the technique once before disappearing, he gave hiccup 5 minutes to sharpen the axes edge and hiccup did so exactly as he was shown. As soon as the axe was sharpened a message popped. Congratulation you unlocked the town skill: sharpening 1; sharpen a blade slightly.

With a raised eyebrow Hiccup clicked on the town skills sub text to see what it was about. Tired of hunting bandits and rogue dragons, or just looking for an edge town skill give 10+ exp for completion of skill and plus 100+ exp for skill unlock and increase.

The message brought a smile and there was more good news. The smith like Hiccups work, "Nice work lad, not the best i've seen but its your first...tell you what keep practicing and i might just make you my apprentice, for now for every 10 blades you sharpen i'll give u 5 bronze. OK."

Hiccup nodded. "OK,"

Quest unlocked (skill); road to blacksmith: successful sharpen 500 blades and earn rank apprentice. Reward: Blacksmith rank; apprentice.

Quest unlocked(continues) Sharpen blades. Reward: 5 bronze per 10 blades.

Hiccup closed the journal goal in mind he looked to the smith before him, figuring he was going to be around for awhile he might as introduce himself. "My names Hiccup by the way."

"Pleasure to meet you Hiccup the names Gobber."

A/N how was that then. I enjoyed writing that anyway let me know what you thought in a review and follow and favourite if you like and i will see you in the next one.
