I picked up my fallen hat from the floor.

Predictably, the head that fell with her has already disappeared.

Yes, I shifted my gaze to the interface.

Shaved Bear (level: 1)

HP (health points): 2/100

MP (mana points): --

SHU (mustache scale): 72%

Class: not received.

Training. Outfit trip. -----

I heard that Russian localization is a little weird, but "mustache scale"? What's next, beard growing quests? And the girls for plucking their eyebrows?

Oh well, having reached the starting location to the training field, I already guessed that my mustache does not fall out, but my stamina drops.

But here's the training.

Firstly, being one of the first in this "Zabava-online", I chose a territory without competitors. Fortunately, there are still more than a thousand starting locations, and the game is still in open testing, albeit with a development ceiling. But the starting equipment is the same for each region, so the winter landscape hat was the only one I could use.

Secondly, at what kind of training will a huge bearded kingpin with a halberd come up and demolish his head for training? Where, *censorship*, realism? What 2 health points could remain after such a wound?

Also, why does it hurt so much? I have no idea how it really should be, but I just got burned in the neck area.

So, this muzzle will generally explain something?

- Do you understand? - After thirty seconds of silence, an NPC with the name "Coach Mart" said.

No, but you don't need to repeat.

“You understand,” the bearded man declared without an interrogative intonation and walked back to the stove.

Congratulations! You have completed the task: Training (Bear Region).

Reward: experience (10), coins (5 copper)

If you want to continue the line of the current task, then chat with *Coach Mart*.

If you want to finish the task *training*, then deal *1000* damage to the mannequin with a wooden axe.

The interface has been changed:

Shaved Bear (level: 1)

Experience: 100/200

Money: 5

HP (health points): 2/100

MP (mana points): --

SHU (mustache scale): 75%

Class: not received.

Titles: no.

Current Adventures:

Training (passed stage 1/3) . Outfit trip. -----

Inventory: empty.

Clothes: Hat, T-shirt, shorts, slippers.

And I wondered why there is no scale of experience and skills?

It seems that the interface will grow with new items as you progress through the training.

So, okay. I clicked on the inscription: "input".

The world instantly darkened, and I felt the stale air of a cheap domestic-made virtual immersion camera.

Yes, the name is Anapa. I thought it was a resort, but it stinks of algae and is crowded, like in a barrel. If you fart, the goons will come.

The smell of algae came from the seat cover of some strange black synthetic. Tightness ... yes, there is no point in commenting.

***

I also fell for the most popular trend in the world: games with full immersion. But unlike most, my plans initially were not to have fun, but to earn money.

More precisely, this was prompted by a friend who, due to luck and success in the Korean game, was able to buy an apartment in Moscow.

Vasily Dubov is a star among the professional players of NOVETO-world. A 20-year-old Moscow barbarian plays as a black mute lone berserker.

So I asked him what his secret was. And he chuckled in response:

- Mish, what's the secret? Take "Anapa" and go to any international game that is completely immersive. Go there first as much as possible, and then everything will come by itself. Oldies reap laurels - the rule of these games. Well, donators.

- And why exactly "Anapa"? She has bad reviews.

- Ha, don't read morons. Ventilation there is not a problem, but the response and speed are at the level of Photon-Elite. And what's the difference in price?

- Photon twenty thousand bucks, and "Anapushka" eighty thousand rubles.

- That's the point. I don’t know what Perov is doing with these boxes, but their reliability is like that of a Russian gunsmith. Yes, and convenience.

- It's clear. I'm looking here. The next launch at some Zabava-online.

- Russian? Then what for, Asians and Americans will not climb into it.

- Apparently not. It is worth that the office is in Detroit, and there are a lot of hieroglyphs. But in Russian there are a lot of typos, as if I’m sitting on a Chinese website through a translator.

- Here you go. Take it, try it, if you don't like it, leave it. By the way, how did you pass the session?

- Okay. It seems that in addition to this assessment at my university, they don’t know others.

- Well, throw it to hell, ha ha ha, I can’t imagine you as a teacher.

- I, too. Okay, thanks for the help, I'll go and order Anapa.

Good luck, Mish. Trust me, it will come in handy.

This conversation was three days ago.

I bought the booth even cheaper, the action for the old models of Perov's workshop cut off half the price tag.

And "Anapa" just entered the right range of models.

My copy was produced in the year when I just finished school. Exactly three years ago. Eh, then the cabin was the subject of dreams, and even the cheapest model cost sky-high money. Two million rubles for domestic and about five for foreign.

But then I was absorbed in trying to get anywhere.

After the New Year got into an accident.

For six months I spent first in the hospital and then at home. I did not want to lose a year of my life, and somehow passed the exams. But in the end, it's not as good as it should be.

But he ended up in a branch of the university not far from home. What's nearby? I went out into the yard, two minutes before the hole in the fence, and already there.

I have never been here before, but it turned out to be a university.

Three years for the tower, which obviously will not lead me to a future job.

A little silly, but a crust. Yes, and it did not hurt to earn extra money all this time, we managed to save a little cash.

An aftermarket car, some gadget, or your own VR booth? There was no choice in front of me at the moment when I was left at home alone, and the last exam was passed.

If before I could only cheer for a friend, now I will experience everything myself.

Of course. At first I tried to go to the world Vasya played in. But the pay was high even during the trial period. For a week I ran around the city and completed tasks. Well thought out, cool, but only three levels in seven real days and more than a month of virtual ones. And the tops are above the seven hundredth level and are growing rapidly.

That's when I realized for sure that the advice was given to me by my faithful classmate Vasya.

In the meantime, I sat and ate pasta with ketchup.

There are two months of vacation ahead. The firm where I worked as a courier for documentation closed for the summer. I didn't want to look for a new one.

So you need to save. You can ask your parents to help, but only as a last resort.

Let them sit quietly in the country. Or where they are right now.

***

I see you have something to ask. You did not understand? - the coach turned to me with a cranberry name in honor of the ruler of the USSR and grabbed the halberd.

“Understood, I understood everything,” the character did not restore a single unit of health during the time offline. Mart lowered his weapon to the floor. – I wanted to ask if I can continue training?

- Here. Good mood. Otherwise, a fool would just go to put out anger on an innocent scarecrow. Get up, we're going to fight the bear! - the bearded man jumped up, grabbed some kind of horn and went out into the yard.

When I walked here, the area was deserted.

And now there were bears around. Lots of bears.

Small, realistic sizes and even some driving ones, differing in size from a passenger car to a mining truck.

The world seemed to have changed.

It seems that I chose a caricature of Russia location.

I followed the coach and found myself in front of the opponent.

Little Killer Bear (?? level)

“Here, kill him,” said Coach Mart, and handed me the spear.

"I can't," I answered the truth. I have no chance with 2 health points against a creature whose indicators consist of questions.

You have passed the second test. Intelligence or kindness, either of these paths is correct. Raise your hand to this kid, you would have failed!

Pulls a little nonsense. But on the general background of the game, at least some logic.

Congratulations! You have completed the task: Training (Bear Region).

Reward: experience (10), coins (5 copper)

If you want to continue the line of the current task, then chat with *Coach Mart*.

If you want to finish the task *training*, then deal *1000* damage to the mannequin with a wooden axe.

Congratulations! You got a new level!

But until the completion of the task *Getting a class*, access to characteristics and skills is closed.

Yeah.

I looked up from the interface, Coach Mart was already striding towards his hut.

“Wait, I want to continue training!”

“In vain,” the bearded man answered and pierced me with a horn.

I woke up in the middle of a brownstone building. Temple?

Checked the status:

No hat, no money.

*censorship*.

And the task is not completed.

I hate thieves!

I ran out, looked around, remembered the building, which turned out to be the church of an unknown god, and ran towards the house of this reptile! Okay, killed, but to steal a hat and money? Bitch!

Brr, it's cold without a hat. It was warm in slippers, shorts and a T-shirt with a hat. The developer should be released in the winter cold. Smart guy, damn it.

Creature.

How cold. I started playing not to temper myself!

I broke into the house of trainer Mart and asked:

- Why?

– I don’t know what you mean, but you want to continue training?

“Yes, but give me back mine…” this time the halberd flew in, preventing me from finishing.

While I was dissolving, I noticed a hat with a column of coins on his table.

Su…

Out of rage, I quit the game.

*Censorship*, this is complete *censorship*, but they are just fucking!

Yes, you need to calm down. Maybe it's just part of the quest?

I squeezed into the booth and pulled on my helmet.

But instead of continuing, I saw an informational entry:

Attention! You died twice within an hour.

Access to the profile will be blocked for 3 hours of real time.

We wish you health and good mood.

Fun online.

Bitch... okay, I'll go to bed earlier.

***

However, sleep was not possible.

I tossed and turned, and opened the window, and closed it. And the condo turned on.

No way.

Okay, at least I'll spend my time usefully reading the game forum. It's too early for walkthroughs, but user comments may be useful.

Plump Bunny (Hare region, level 7)

The people, the developers are some kind of degenerates.

You can't choose a nickname until you get a class. And during training, all kinds of states were demonstrated on me: sleep, poisoning, paralysis, blessing, excitement.

And everything is like in reality!

Muddy Elk (Moose Region, Level 1)

How do you level up? I still couldn't find a coach!

Help!

Polar Mole (Blind region, 8th level)

I found it easily. Think, his name is coach Napoleon! First I got hurt, then I beat the scarecrow and got a baton, now I'm doing an inventory task.

Easy game. I hope there will be original classes here.

By the way, the coaches report that we are “chosen by immortality”, this is precisely the essence of the training. How formulaic!

It's funny that when choosing a region, there are Mole, Blind and Underground regions in which I could get the nickname that I got. Are there any more replays?

Cunning Elephant (Trunk Region, Level 3)

*censorship*, shove this game up your ass!

Muddy Elk (Moose Region, Level 1)

Elephant, what happened?

Cunning Elephant (Trunk Region, Level 3)

I was harassed by an NPC in the city. I am aware that the game is 18+, but not to the same extent! I am a decent family man!

Polar Mole (Blind region, 8th level)
