Updated character sheet. Take a look for those interested.
This time, a little interlude to see how's life in the real world for the US citizens in a hundred year or so. It's quite nice, I would say. After that, we'll return to our usual much-preferred DMMORPG, YGGDRASIL. The update is pretty simple this time, just warming up before I get to the dungeon. You'll get to meet interesting people and mobs, after all! Gotta keep the suspence up. If it works, that is.
Also answering a question. I got asked why do I put so many images in my updates? Its a habit, I got from my years of GMing RPs. Finding image references of the environment, characters and all that and it helps players/readers to better visualize the scene and get a better idea as to what the character looks like and what face they're currently making.
You wake up early as usual. You take a tissue soaked with water and clean yourself thoroughly. You could shower or bath certainly but the amount of money you'll have to pay at the end of the month is almost exorbitant and you'll be bankrupt and in debt. You certainly don't want that. Water is the most precious resource on Earth. You take your respiratory mask before leaving your room and out of the apartment building you live in. As you take a look at the street. It's as much of a depressing sight as always, its fucking filthy like a dump. The only interesting thing that seems to be happening is someone who is getting arrested by the heavily armed policemen.
You only look for a few seconds before moving on to do your early morning run. Not your problem. You have better things to do than being curious and get yourself in problems. You always take the time to run, early in the morning. It helps keep you healthy even in this city that seems to try its hardest to kill you indirectly. Yeah, you smoke but it doesn't really harm you that much if you can buy a dose of healing nanites to heal any internal damage done to your body. It isn't quite cheap but you buy them irregularly so it's not that much of a problem. You run around the city for an hour or so before entering a special resting area with breathable air where you can take off your mask. Taking out a few of your nutrition bars, you eat them ravenously. Time to get to work.
As you arrive at the supermall you work in. You're still impressed by how fancy and clean all of this look compared to the outside. You could see more than a few what looked like moderately rich people in dresses, suits, and other such costly clothing that's probably five times your pay annually. Most people would misunderstand but you have nothing against rich people, most of these people probably worked for it to get such living standards, it didn't simply pop out of nowhere. Some may have not and they're the people you despise the most, mainly. You avoid wandering too much as you go directly to the staff area. In the changing room, you arrived earlier than usual it seems. The people working in the night didn't end their shift, yet. So you simply settle down outside in the hallway take out a smoke and enjoy it thoroughly while grinning to yourself as shower thoughts start going through your mind out of boredness. Its unauthorized to smoke in breathable areas, especially in the mall. Not only is there a chance for something to catch fire but you're 'polluting' the air apparently. Well, you aren't quite denying that but the air cleaners in the mall are so powerful it doesn't really matter all that much in the end.
Your short internal existential introspection is interrupted by one of your colleagues. A guy with dead eyes, that seems like the calm dude just going through his life without any ambition or interest. He is just living for the sake of nothing and working tirelessly for nothing but to survive. You kind of both despise and admire this guy.
"Hey, Karen. You came up early. As usual. You know, it's not authorized to smoke here?" You just wave a hand as he salutes you, although when he comments on you smoking you just send a look his way and he easily shuts up about it, like every day, what a boring routine. He never told the manager, and he's the only one finishing his shift this early as to see you finish up your smoke so it was never really a problem.
"Are the others finishing up, too?" you ask and when you receive a nod in confirmation, you simply return to the women's changing room. Now, where was your locker and with it your cashier staff uniform? The changing room was so big, really big. Even after months working here as a full-time employee, you still don't get used to it. For fuck's sake, it's more labyrinthic than a fucking purposefully made labyrinthic dungeon! Fortunately enough, your locker is not that far so you found it in just a few minutes, although enough time for the others night employees to enter and start changing. Ah, damn it. You wanted to be a bit early today! Well, you are but just by a few minutes which is irrelevant. Your locker neighbor speaks up.
"Ya! Karen. So it's your turn like, ya know, this time. Hey, like I and thuh other girls are plannin' to go out for late-night partyin'. Do you wanna to join? You just look always gloomy and with that delinquent attitude of yours I know you're better than that, fer shure though! Oh, wow! Anyway, like wanna to join in?" Can you even speak properly? Seriously. You just send her one of those looks as you start undressing yourself to put your staff uniform. A party? Who's hosting that kind of things anyway? What kind of party? the drug-dealing parties? Or the fancy ones with fancy people? The former is a no and the later is a maybe. You'll just definitely look out of place, though. How did they get invited to a party anyway?... Oh. You're reluctant but your ultimate decision is a...
[] Yes.
(Note: Taking, 'Yes' will extend the Interlude for an update and after that we'll return to YGGDRASIL. 'Yes' option could make you meet a few interesting people or not, depends.)
[] No.
[] Wait a minute...

As you put on your staff uniform, you get going to your assigned seat and do your work. Your colleagues said you had a charming smile if you don't show your menacing teeth and keep it simple. So you do so through the whole day with only noon as a break of an hour or so for light nutritional snacks. Your work goes well, as you keep a professional behavior, the staff uniform you are currently wearing covering your tattoos. You're pretty sure, these well-off people would have been almost immediately turned off by them and you'll get then fired because of that. What a depressing but kind of amusing thought. A few guys tried to hit on you, as usual, some were good, others were not but ultimately it didn't matter. You were not interested, you kept the professional behavior and most of them seemed to catch on and move on. Good day of work. For a Monday, it is going quite nicely.

Terran, you're a little heavy on the commas. You can hold back on them a bit more. "Some may have not, and they're the people, you despise the most, mainly" and "Fortunately, enough, your" are a couple of examples. You can replace some of the commas with periods, or just remove them all together. Some of your periods are a bit weirdly placed as well.

I got more than a few comments about that, actually. I'm bad at commas, mostly because when I put them, I'm thinking with the French language in mind, not English which is possibly what makes me do that. I'll take a look at the update once more, read it and remove any unnecessary commas.
EDIT: And done. Hopefully, it's better now and much lighter and easier to read for you guys. Sorry about that. I'll try to pay more attention to it and not letting my mother tongue interfere in my writing.

Do you want a beta? Because I can help out if need be. Or you could get Grammarly, that's free and helps with punctuation.I got more than a few comments about that, actually.

I do have Grammarly and I currently use it for all of my updates and no it doesn't help all that much with punctuation. Although, I would be more than happy to have you as a beta for the quest. I will contact you in PMs to further discuss it, later on.

Sure. Sounds good to me. And sorry to hear Grammarly doesn't help as much as you need it to.

You didn't go to that party in the end. Not your thing, you aren't quite shy or reserved but social gatherings are not the kind of place you like to be. You're always sidelined or hit on. You don't like to be sidelined, it just leaves you itching to talk to someone or do something, and getting hit on is just the usual, although it becomes more frequent in parties which is a down point of it. So, yeah, your answer was a resounding 'No'. Your colleague at work just shrugged and walked away.
You return back home after work and settle in. You don't waste any time beyond eating a light snack. You're a bit excited, as you log in just right in time. The agreed one that is but you don't find anyone. You certainly didn't expect anyone to actually be punctual. Those fuckers. You have nothing to do for now, beyond just sitting on the hard stone that is the floor of this massive cave. What part of this is a Tomb, really? It looks more like an underground world than a Tomb. Anyway, this is a great time to take out that training book. Perhaps you could finish a chapter before your friends come back online. You only know them for a few hours and you're already considering them friends...
You do finish a chapter and it was in fact, absolutely boring. The book didn't contain anything to actually read, your character was just stuck in an animation where it looked like it was reading the book, turning the pages and studying them. Fortunately, interrupting the animation doesn't make you lose your progress. That's the only good thing you can see about boring yourself to death like this, apart from getting a stat raise. You certainly need an 'Iron-Will' to sit through this book. Heh.

You didn't have to wait for more than a few minutes before you got a notification that Yasu-bud just went online. Awesome, you were tired of waiting. The only reason you didn't go on your own was that of Yasu-bud's warning last night. Yasu-bud appeared in front of you in a flash of light and a fancy ring of fire around him. Huh, now he had a different armor on than last time, he really looks like a Paladin, instead of a dark chaos corrupted one in pitch black armor. Where did he get such cool special effects? Probably by buying it in the Premium Shop. Show-off.
"Hey, Yasu-kun! What's with the new fancy armor? What's that bird on your shoulder?" you ask him. The bird seems a bit similar.
"Ah. StormDoom-san. Did you connect to YGGDRASIL early? You shouldn't have. We hardly keep our promises about the agreed time. If we say 7 PM, expect us to only come at 8 or 8:30. As for my armor? The one I had last night was expendable and not that strong. As we're going to a slightly more dangerous area, I took my main armor as a Paladin; its made out of Mithril and enchanted at that. This? It is Haru, a Firebird Mascot you can buy in the cash shop, it just follows you around. As a cool nice effect, each time you spawn it makes this ring of fire that surrounds you." A Firebird Mascot? Ha! You got one too! Perhaps, you could activate it too. Your unofficial leader position is threatened and this may tip the balance to your side. You'll catch up soon enough, in levels!
"We can go and try to explore the edge of the new area now if you want while we are waiting for the others. My current level and equipment are good enough that I can handle anything that'll come at us in the area. Unless there is a higher-level player running around picking off newbies, but I doubt that. There isn't much they'll gain from doing that both EXP-wise and drop-wise. What do you think? I'm fine with either waiting or going now." He's obviously acknowledging your leadership status if he looks at you like that for your next course of actions. You're taking off well, it seems. The choice is in your hands.
What do you do?
[] Let's start exploring! Yasu-bud seems like someone you can rely on.
[] Nah, wait for the others. You feel safer if you're a party of four instead of two.
[](Optional) Activate the Firebird Mascot.

Before anyone asks. You'll get to know more about the items you got from the Gacha soon enough in either the next update or the one after. No, I totally didn't forget about that vote. What are you talking about?
