Создатели Судьбы / The Creators of Destiny: Глава 3

Chapter 3

Knock, knock, knock. Check the fixings, and hang the virt sensor on the wall. Last one. Ugh.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 05:35

My friend brought the system in early, woke me up, and, after quickly begging for a mug of coffee - it's my weakness, I like good coffee, I always have at least five varieties in the cupboard - he left to spend the money he had received. And I, still not fully awake, began to set up the sensors.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 05:37

Virtual reality has not yet been created. There is no such thing as a real-life experience.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 05:37

There is a sensor system that can be installed in a room. If the system is powerful and expensive, you can cover a hall like a school gym with it. If it's like the one I have now, then the room should be smaller, up to thirty squares. Eight sensors, four pucks in the corners of the room, four elongated cylinders like daylight lamps hung on the walls at head level, a three-by-three mat spread on the floor, and the edges pressed down. Plus a helmet that connects wirelessly to the computer. You don't need a helmet, you can do it with ordinary glasses, but my friend's helmet was an advanced one, the kind that captures the emotion and draws a face in any game. And I'm too lazy to create a character. So I'll be looking at the world through the visor of a paladin helmet that's not removable by vow. Plus the sound system in it is much better than the ones in the glasses.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 05:39

Two thin bracelets on each arm, two on each leg, plus a wide belt - all this allows you to direct the actions of your character with high precision. And there's a microphone built into the helmet for saying something pretentious, which a paladin is supposed to do. A little to the side is a treadmill, again connected to the Virt. Toward noon they bring a set from the game store - a sword, a shield, and a gauntlet. The treadmill gives you five percent more experience and a bonus to your physical skills.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 05:45

I didn't figure out the bonuses yesterday - the system was more complicated than I thought it would be.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 05:45

Each connected device not only reduced the experience multiplier on the level but also allowed you to pump secondary parameters. Treadmill - running speed and vitality. Virt - a combat skill. Sword and shield boosted vitality and power, tablet boosted wisdom, and if I bought a bow, I'd get an accuracy boost. It's a shame that a bow for a paladin isn't specialized, and it would take a long time to increase accuracy. The manipulator, which I was going to score a few spells on, was developing wisdom - not a necessary parameter for a paladin, but a necessary parameter for mages. So I sat for another hour, graphing and calculating the benefits of certain bonuses.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 05:48

And when I finished, I suddenly started giggling.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 05:48

I never logged into the game, I did not even finish watching a single gameplay video, which was millions, I would not be able to distinguish the look of a warrior from the same paladin, but I already knew exactly how I would pump my character.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 05:53

Theorist, damn! A mail boxer!

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 05:53

A courier from the store arrived in time for lunch. The sword turned out to be a half-meter stick made of plastic in a thick foam case, and the shield was a strange construction like a wristband. It weighed no less than one kilogram. Quite a lot. The manipulator I ordered was a glove, which allowed me to do gestures (I immediately thought of hanging something on the "goat"), as well as to perform gestures after I downloaded the necessary drivers and installed it into the virtual system.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 05:55

I guess I'd look like a complete idiot in all this gaming gear. Virt bracelets, belt, sword and shield in hand, a gauntlet on my right, and helmet on my head. Beautiful man!

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 05:57

All right, Vova, there's no need to delay. You've already made up your mind, don't pretend to be dissatisfied with anything. You're already shaking, aren't you?

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 05:57

"Comp, the launch of Creators of Destiny!" voice interface, the delight of lazy people who don't want to get up from the couch to switch music.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 05:58

A screensaver flashed on the wall monitor.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 05:58

Welcome to the world of Creators of Destiny!

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:00

Your account is not linked to your ID. Would you like to link it?

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:01

I summoned the projection of the keyboard.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:01

Yes.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:01

Voice, tablet, electronic signature?

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:01

Voice,

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:01

Microphone check in progress, please repeat "Account linking" out loud.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:02

"Account Linking."

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:03

The device is functioning normally. Please state your name.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:03

"Vladimir Polushkin."

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:04

Your name is Vladimir Polushkin. Link your account?

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:05

Yes.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:06

Dear Vladimir Polushkin, the account is activated. You can start the game. You can change the linking at the hundredth or multiple of the hundredth level.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:06

A character has not been created. Would you like to create a character?

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:07

Yes

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:07

You can choose from ready-made classes or create your own character. Warning - player-created classes have additional experience requirements

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:08

A choice of the available ones. Paladin archetype.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:08

Twenty-two kinds of archetypal paladins, according to the number of deities of the "Creator" world. Searching, searching... here.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:08

Paladin of Amala the Healer.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:09

Your choice is the paladin of Amala the Healer. This is a warrior-priest capable of both fighting and helping those who suffer.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:29

Warning, this class has higher requirements both in experience per level and in role-playing and is not recommended for novice players.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:30

Attention, the choice of race has been canceled. The available race is human.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:30

Attention, the choice of starting location is canceled, the character will appear in one of the temples of Amala

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:31

Ouch, I'm afraid, I'm afraid. I'm scared.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:31

I agree.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:31

Name a character.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:32

Uh... um... okay. Well, let's go with Vlad.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 06:32

The selected nickname is Vlad. Attention, your nickname will be known only to those to whom you tell it

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 08:52

This is a concept I already knew. The "COD" was atypical in this matter. It was impossible to find out the name of a character unless he revealed it to the interlocutor himself. The name I called would only be known by Amala herself when addressing me (in theory she could do this, but in practice, the gods very rarely addressed the players, it was believed that someone from the management of the development team played for these NPCs). Knowing the name of the player, it was possible to recognize him in the crowd, otherwise, he would be recognized only by his appearance. The name in the "COD" and its knowledge gave a lot.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 08:57

A character is created.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 08:57

Vlad.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 08:57

Class: Paladin of Amala the Healer, level 1.

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 08:58

Life - 10

Camrad_RIP 26.08.22 в 09:06

Mana - 5
