(A/N)
My first Runescape story, so take it easy on me. If you want to be in the story, just review and tell me what name you want, what is your favourite attacking style(you can also be a skiller) and what combat level you want to start with. R&R!
I could feel myself shaping into a tall figure, and suddenly, a pair of arms and legs. I felt my eyes flew open, before I could finally breathe. The air wasn't very pleasant. Just then, I felt my tongue forming and I was then gifted with speech. All I could mutter was, "ahhh... ahhh..."
My body hardened, and then I felt better. A bright flash of light followed, blinding me. When I opened my eyes, I was in a small house. The walls were washed in white paint that hadn't dried, and you could smell the uninviting odour of paint in the air. A man in an old leather cap with a goatee was walking over towards me. I backed away. "Who are you?" I said my first words.
"Relax," the man grinned. He had a joker's grin and he did not look like a bad guy. So I did as I was told. "My name is Leon, the Runescape Guide. This is Runescape, my friend. Well, what is your name?" Leon asked, smiling kindly.
"My name is Benjamin," I blurted out, without thinking. The Runescape Guide produced a green book. "Okay, Benjamin, this is Runescape, where there exists three sides, Order, Chaos and Peace. They are constantly at war but everything is peaceful now. It is also a place where you can do many special things. Here, on Tutorial Island, you can learn all about Runescape before you get to the mainland and start your adventure. Let's get started, shall we?" Leon handed me the green book.
"This is your Runescape Book," announced Leon. He turned to a page. "Here hosts the World Map. It acts as a map so you can see where you are," he explained. The World Map took up two pages, and enabled me to see a smaller version of the whole of Runescape from a high view.
Turning to another page, Leon babbled, "here is your Friends List. It contains the names of people you like. From this page, you can also communicate with them through private message." Turning to another page, Leon explained, "this is your Ignore List. It contains the names of people you dislike. While these people are in your Ignore List, they cannot communicate with you by any means."
"And this is your Quest Page," Leon said. "You will learn more about this page later." He turned to another page, containing a barrage of attacking styles and a... combat level. "This is your combat page. I see you noticed your combat level. The combat level can basically be just known as level. Everyone starts out as a Level 3, but as you progress, you'll level up and eventually be stronger. The combat page is also where you can decide how you want to attack. Now, your weapon is basically your fists. So you have three types of styles to attack: Punch, which boosts your Attack; Kick, which boosts your Strength; and Block, which boosts your Defence. You will learn about these on this page..." Leon turned to another page which contained different pictures and the number 1 beside each picture.
The page contained different and interesting pictures. I was amazed by it. "Your Statistics, or Stats page. Here you can see what level are you in different skills. For example, Cooking, Attack, Strength, Thieving, Herblore, Fishing and many more! You can train these skills, you know, like if you want to boost your Cooking level, you can just cook stuff over a fire or over a range."
"This is your spells page, but I am not required to tell you about this. So let's move on."
"This is your Clan Chat page. By joining a clan, you will be part of it. A Clan Chat's motive might have many motives, the main ones being chatting and something called Clan Wars. When you create a Clan Chat, you will officially be owner of that Clan Chat. You decide what name to give your clan, and who gets ranked. Unfortunately, you do not invite others. Others join your clan themselves, but if a troublemaker joins your clan, you can just kick him out and he will be temporarily banned from your clan. I think this is most useful," Leon babbled.
Leon showed me a couple of other things, like the Prayer page. After that, he scribbled some words on the Quest Page. "Learning the Ropes" it read, and below it, was a description. I realized I had just embarked on a quest. Then, Leon handed me a backpack. It looked too small for words.
"Don't underestimate it. It can hold more than it can carry," Leon winked, as he walked me to the door. "Just ahead is another guide, who will teach you the basics of survival. It will be your next step in learning the ropes. Good luck!" Leon waved goodbye as I exited the house. Waving back, I sprinted on ahead, towards my next step to Runescape.
(A/N): I'll be updating quite soon. Do me a favour and review would ya? I thought the first chapter wasn't very good, and there's much room for improvement. Well, cya! Do review, I'll give you a cookie!
