NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 6: Tutorial Mission: Realm Selection
[Player is now entering tutorial mission.
Players gathering... total number of players: 10.
World selection: in progress]
Alex notices a few other people floating next to him in a vast, dark space of nothingness. He can barely make out the figures, but there's something else that draws his attention—a wheel spinning in the distance, with many familiar and some unknown worlds listed.
His eyes narrow, trying to focus. "Hmm... what is that? Dragon Ball? OH, GOD, PLEASE NO!!!"
The wheel spins again, and Alex's panic subsides just slightly. "If I end up in the Dragon Ball world, with monsters, dinosaurs, and planet-destroying aliens everywhere, I might as well kill myself and kiss my soul goodbye."
He watches the wheel spin through several more worlds, some of which he recognizes and even likes:
Hunter x Hunter
Spin.
Naruto
Spin.
Stargate
Spin.
Fifty Shades of Grey
Alex nearly chokes. "What the fuck?! I nearly forgot there are worlds like that too. God, I hope I never end up in a shit world like this... although... it might be fun to kill every single last terrible character in that place."
Spin.
Birdie Wing – Golf Girls' Story
"What the hell... Am I supposed to crossdress and play death golf? These selections are so weird. I swear, if I keep cursing and stressing out, I'm going to get wrinkles. I need to calm the fuck down. Everything's going to be fine... this is the tutorial, it'll probably be some comedy anime or romance movie."
Spin.
Mass Effect.
"Motherf…" Alex gulps. "Spin again! Do it!"
Spin.
Starship Troopers.
Alex's vision blurs, and he feels faint.
Spin.
One Piece.
"I like One Piece. Oda's a genius, but hell no, there's no way this world gets chosen for a tutorial."
[World selected: One Piece.
Tutorial mission: One Piece (Fragment)]
"WHAT THE FUCK?!"
[Player count: 10
World: One Piece (Fragment)]
Mission Details:
This is a limited world fragment of the One Piece universe. Progress will not be saved, and this is a self-contained mission with a limited scope of exploration.
Location: A small island in the East Blue
Size: Less than 100 km² (less than 40 square miles)
Population: 186
Timeline: Two years before Luffy leaves Foosha Village
Setting:
The Island of Navalia lies in the East Blue, and is known for its quality wood and fur exports. A peaceful village sits at the center of the island, with a tiny harbor on its eastern sandy beach. The rest of the island is surrounded by cliffs. Most of the villagers work in hunting wildlife for fur and meat or cutting down trees for shipbuilding.
However, Baroque Works is rapidly expanding its influence, focusing on the East Blue—where pirate bounties are low and Marine presence is sparse. Navalia offers valuable resources (furs and wood) and potential recruits (strong workers fit for recruitment as "Millions"). With no Marine base nearby, the island is vulnerable to takeover, and it's unlikely the Marines would hear about it in time. The village elder, refusing to give in, has hired mercenaries to defend the island.
Your Role:
You are one of the hired mercenaries.
Mission:
Help defend the village on Navalia for five days.
To increase your mission rating:
Ensure the villagers survive.
Gather supplies.
Hunt wildlife for fur and meat.
Defend the village against attackers from Baroque Works (Millions – common enemies, Billions – rare and strong enemies, and potential officer/field agents – bosses).
Clear Condition:
Achieve at least a D- rating.
Rewards:
Depends on your rank.
Failure Condition:
Receive a rating of E+ or lower.
Punishment:
Permanent soul destruction.
Hint:
If the village is completely destroyed, all players will automatically receive an F rating. If the village survives for the duration of the mission, all players will receive at least a D- rating.
Player Setting:
Forced peace – PvP actions are strictly forbidden and will result in immediate expulsion and soul destruction.
Explanation of Mission Rewards:
Normal missions offer the following rewards and punishments.
This tutorial mission has stricter requirements, demanding at least an E+ rating to survive, offering the same rewards as normal missions though.
