The Beginning
Tutorial
ic no pk level 1 - 5 new players
"Welcome to Aeon. Evolution. Online."
You entered the training grounds, where a peaceful realm welcomed you. The space was filled with an abundance of life, were Non Playable Characters and fellow newbies alike wandered the spacious plains. You turned to the voice who welcomed you, and found your eyes locked on what appeared to be a young child or a youthful fairy. She floated with her feet just barely touching the ground and smiled happily once the two of you made eye contact. "You're new, right? My name is Eunha! I'm going to teach you everything there is to know about AEO!" Her round eyes blinked, and she lowered her head in a sheepish manner, puffing out her cheeks. "Well... almost everything.... Anyways! Are you ready?"
1 "Ready!"
You could feel never-ending determination light furious fire in your eyes, you were ready. There'd been a burning bubble stirring in your chest since you could remember, but this swirling feeling couldn't be explained by anything. You wonder, if in her round, seemingly innocent eyes -if she knew what it was. Her cheerful voice broke your thoughts, and suddenly she'd moved closer to you. "But first! You should know how to protect yourself! Take up arms and choose your weapon!"

"You've chosen wisely~ Keep in mind that you'll be able to change your class later on at level 10, but for now you're free to test out your sources to see what fits best. Now, let's see how good you can do! Do you see that Baby Rat-Mutant over there? That's a Rattish. Kill that!" She pointed, gesturing to the single monster which had wandered from its mob.
[ Random encounters with monsters happen through Dice roll, which also provides points for players to use for leveling up, ranking up, and in game currency and item purchases. Please roll the dice below to receive points for this mission. ]
1 "Please help me!"
The sprite awaited your return, and smiled proudly as you returned to her unscathed. She held out her palm and closed her eyes to chant a soft spoke, foreign tongue. Light swelled at your chest, restoring any weariness and ailments that may have plagued you from your battle. "Now let me show you about quests. You may travel around different parts of the land, from the wilds to towns and posts. There will be people who may need your help. In some cases GMs or higher level players may have quests to hand out for players." Her words faded as she thought carefully on any opportunity that may present itself. She looked you over in uncertainty, and while you had proved your strength before, she wasn't so sure if you could handle it task. "How about this! I challenge you to fight 5 more Rattish, and when you're finished, come see me!"

In Rooms, Quest indications will be listed in the layout, and will look as following.

1 "Going forward..."
A wall-mirror shaped portal opened up beside her, and she bowed at the waist just before promptly gesturing towards it. "I think you're ready to move forward. Are you ready? Nervous? Scared?" She asked eye, her eyes almost peircing into yours behind its usual child-like innocence. The end was nearing, and there was a sadness of departure left in the way that she watched you. Fondness, even. As if she knew you well before you arrived here. Still, she didn't say anything and simply waited for your confirmation.
2 "Wait..."
There was hesitation in your movement, and in the end, she nodded in understanding and allowed you to stay without complaint. It was clear that you weren't clear on a few of the lessons, or simply wanted to stay behind and adventure around the space.
[ Feel free to solo role play here for points. In some areas, you can play around with others using the environment or roll dice to kill monsters for point grinding. Keep in mind that for every 10 points will equal 1 level up. ]
