“Oh wow! They still made this easy mode for me.”
That didn’t stop him from using the rings. He backed out of
the inventory and equipped the rings right away through the equipment menu.
His weak defensive stats rose up to levels rivaling the other classes. He
wondered if the other classes received the rings as well, but thought there
wouldn’t be a point in that.
“Maybe this character stole these items or something,” he
tried to reason. He checked the manual to read up on the basics before he did
anything else. Even the basics of the manual clocked in at over a hundred
pages. The extra motions players could do in VR added a lot more complexity to
the game. There were now special techniques that the character could perform
if Sam could mimic the right motions. With Sam’s horrid level of bodily
coordination, he counted that as a current impossibility and stuck to the most
basic style of play.
“I can’t read all this. I’ll just have to learn as I go.”
He hurriedly crammed some info about blocking, parrying,
roll dodging, and attacking. He thought he understood the gist of it all, so
he closed his menu. He didn’t want anyone beating him to that bonus, so he did
what any good adventurer would do and put one foot in front of the other.
The clearing provided a clear trail forward. Sam hoped it
was the right direction. There didn’t seem to be much but darkness in the
other direction. The dark forest was spread out around him, obscuring all that
was within as long as he stood in the moon’s light. He wondered if his eyes
would adjust to the dark, like in real life. He needed to be ready for
whatever was inside.
He didn’t recognize this part of the game. Well, he did
sort of recognize it, but he wasn’t supposed to be here so early in the game.
In the original Death Planes game, you started off in a graveyard, so this
wasn’t a remake after all. Maybe it was a sequel then.
The clearing’s path led back into the dark forest, but there
didn’t seem to be nowhere else to go, so Sam proceeded further in.
“Wait! Is my dagger even equipped?”
He didn’t have anything in his hands and he saw nothing at
his sides, not even a scabbard., so he checked his equipment menu and found
nothing equipped to either hand slot.
“Trolls!” he yelled in anger.
He was mad that he didn’t notice it earlier when he was
putting on the rings. He quickly equipped his Dagger to his right hand and the
Deflector shield to his left. A scabbard for the Dagger appeared on his lower
back and his Deflector was always strapped to his left wrist as long as it was
equipped. There was a slot for another weapon or shield on either hand slot,
making for a maximum of two slots to each hand. You couldn’t equip all four
weapons or shields at the same time, but could switch between two of them in
each hand on the fly. He made sure he had all his armor on as well.
After confirming that all his equipment was in its proper
place, he figured he was ready for combat. The only issue he had was that his
tiny Deflector and naturally low defenses made blocking ineffective. Even with
the extra protection from the ring, he’d be in a bad spot if he couldn’t dodge properly.
He also needed to be quick and parry with his Deflector, so he wasn’t totally
defenseless.
“Why did I pick this class? I’m going to get killed so hard
that my friends are going to throw me a funeral in real life,” he said, only
half joking.
He silently laughed at his own absurdity, mostly to calm his
nerves. Then he proceeded forward and heard some footsteps other than his own.
He stopped and hid behind a tree to see if he could find where the sound was
coming from. His eyes were
