Author’s Corner okay don’t know if everyone saw in the previous chapters or not but after talking with the others I decided to change the name of a few stats. The main reason is because it sounds more Sci-fi like instead of fantasy like. The stats I changed are as followed…

  Strength -> Physical Proficiency

  Vitality -> Resilience

  Intelligence -> Mentality

  Wisdom -> Willpower

  Further information of which stat does what is shown in the chapter. This is the last tutorial chapter before the game starts so enjoy!

  Okay this is what I understood from the AI: She′s still the AI from my capsule that runs the starting processes.. But it seems as if installing The Nebula caused a massive increase in information that needs to be processed making her processing ability grow so she can help process all the information from the game and pass it to me so I can see the world and space properly.

  When I asked why it was only this game where something like this happened her answer was

  The idea of having this trolling hag with me really pissed me off. Still she appeared in front of me when the tutorial was over.

  She looked like a woman in her early twenties, she wore a white plug suit and had pitch black hair and a model’s figure with a C-D sized chest.

  I left before she could do anything else to me and took a nice cold bath to wash off the sweat from the training and to cool my head down.

  Since the tutorial was done I could visit each of them as much as I want. I will probably return to body adjustment and try my best to cap all my physical stats and then focus on training my craft skills. I just had to tolerate that AI and it would be fine.

  …

  I’m totally going to go mad with that AI.

  I jumped onto the couch and cover my head when I had fallen in.

  After a bit I heard my dad.

  “Huh? Noah what’s up?” He asked.

  “Dad… did your capsule AI gain sentience as well?” I asked.

  “Oh! So yours got it too?! Well her explanation did say all the Capsule AI’s would need to improve in order to handle the Nebula.” He said.

  “What is she like?” I asked.

  “Hmm… looks like a well endowed secretary with a gentle personality to match.” He said.

  My face hits the pillow in front of me as I slump down.

  “What’s to problem? How is yours?” he asked.

  “Early twenties, first time she appeared she was in a plugsuit… a completely childish brat!” I tell him.

  Then I explained what she did.

  I got really pissed when he started laughing while holding his sides.

  “Ah, well it probably compliments your own personality.” He says.

  “So trolling me is considered a compliment?” I asked annoyed.

  “Well she can only do that during the tutorials anyway. The main game AI which is Virtual Work’s personal AI will keep them from doing anything drastic. They will need our permission and so on to do things.” He explains as he falls onto the couch and turns the TV on.

  “She′s still damn annoying!” I said.

  “Hehe! Haven’t seen you like this since middle school.” Dad says making me jump off the couch and running out of the room.

  Since I wanted to cool off I leave the house and go for a jog in the park.

  The scenery was rather nice but it was then that I remember I didn’t eat so I returned home at 2 pm and found a plate made for me and a note from dad saying he was in game training.

  I sigh and eat the food before returning to the game.

  She said appearing as she was before in the large room we were in.

  “Before that can you tell me what each stat represents. I need to know what their effect on my in game body is.” I asked blankly.

  “Show me my status including skills.” I tell her.

  ”So regeneration is willpower/100. Seems good enough for my race but I rather like how much Psi I have at the moment. Still, if I was any race that would be 660 and elves would have 1,210 psi. That is more than 3 times my own capacity which clearly shows the specialization of each race.” I thought.

  (A.N. Fun random fact! If you divide elves capacity by the dwarfs psi capacity atm you will get Pi = 3.14.)

  “Sure…” I say.

  “So I can keep increasing my mentality and willpower beyond what I have?” I asked.

  “You could have told me that sooner, you know!”

  “Tsk!... Can other races do the same?” I asked.

  It was rather surprising to hear that elves could be bad with a form of Psi but when she explained it like that it made sense. Dwarves have the fewest exits where psi can leak out so that means they can reinforce their bodies to a greater degree when compared to elves.

  “Since its like this let’s go to the 2.5 G training. Also teach me how to reinforce my body with Psi so I can handle it.” I said, a bit excited to be able to walk on such a high gravity planet.

  This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  The room flashed and I find myself in my armor feeling the weight of my body increase as the g force increases.

  I nodded upon hearing her explanation. Still I reread the steps to gain a better understanding.

  Then I got started. I pulled the Psi inside my brain and made it flow down my spine. I hadn’t noticed until now but the psi moves through the nerves in my body.

  When it reached my chest I make the psi exit the nerves and enter my muscles. It flowed out naturally and was much easier than controlling it outside of my body. The Psi was slowly absorbed into my muscles and I felt my strength slowly rising in that area.

  Slowly it filled up the chest and as it filled up the flow down to the muscles below it and to my back muscles.

  It was like water that slowly flowed down and filled my muscles.

  I waited for a while letting the psi flow but when it reached my foot it began to leak so I blocked the Psi to my foot. From there it was like a dam and spaces that were left empty started to fill up.

  As it reached the top of my shoulders it flooded into my arms but again I blocked before it reached my hand and soon it filled them up.

  The time it took to this was about 20 minutes.

  “Finally done.”

  “I understand the first skill but why haven’t I gotten exterior Psi Manipulation?!” I asked nearly shouting.

  What she said does make sense. Dwarves only levitate items so getting a Psi skill like this is already an achievement..

  “Fine, slowly raise the g force in the room.” I tell her.

  I immediately feel the G force rise.

  She tells me.

  I nod and start jogging and even though it was heavy I could move as if I was in the 1.5 G before.

  After 2 minutes of jogging the G force rose again and started to push me down more.

  This one lasted 10 minutes at my request and I gained a point in resilience.

  Then 2.3 G came and I started to feel the weight so I asked for an hour under this G force.

  The results were 3 agility and 4 Resilience. I was already starting to sweat after this but with a wave of her hand the AI made the fatigue vanish. VR surely is convenient. Sadly that also meant she pushed 2.4 G and made me kneel.

  The basic armor changed into a high gravity armor and began to support me more.

  I calm down and thinking what I could do I try to fill more Psi into my muscles but they were filled so it just meant 30 strength wasn’t enough for 2.5 G.

  “I probably… can’t reach 2.5 G in the Tutorial… Leave it on this setting.” I tell her.

  I push myself up and start walking. Can’t really run so I just walk but that was like walking with 60 kilos of lead on each limb.

  Pushing myself until sweat flowed in tiny streams from my forehead I walked for nearly 2 hours before I finally collapsed.

  “Yeah…” I mutter.

  I feel the pressure on my shoulders lessen but I was still to exhausted but with a swipe of her hand that was gone and I was forced to sit up.

  “Just shut up. Anyway besides crafting I think using guns also relies on dexterity right?” I asked.

  Damn it!

  “Damn I feel tired of this. my current stats are already good for a dwarf stating character. I’m going to rest now.”

  “I’ll do that another day.” I say as I log out.

  The pain in the ass finally out of the way I take a bath and jump into bed even though it’s not even 6 pm yet.

  From that day forward, I only go into the tutorial to train my skills though that results in me capping dexterity after manually building scrap guns.

  Now during the month I trained all my skills as much as possible and this was the result with my stats as well.

  Now, as you can tell my HP rose with Resilience. Mentality rose more because I trained my inner Psi control and some of my outer control trying to make machines by purely using Psi.

  Building weapons from scrap and programming them wasn’t easy but since it’s in the early levels it leveled up fast. Of course any training with gun building or machine building resulted in Mechanic skill to gain exp.

  Weapon maintenance is the strangest skill. It’s kind of similar to weapon repair but still it’s not the same. Weapon maintenance is a skill that helps me check a functioning weapon, repairing it before serious damage appears as well as maintaining the quality of the item. Long story short, to train the skill i have to take care of working guns to make sure they are functioning correctly which also counts as Weapon repair. It makes it easier to spot a fault is how I would describe this skill.

  Well anyway, that annoying AI has developed a bit more personality. It seems that she developed two modes I have taken to calling “Serious mode” and “Troll mode”

  You can guess what each mode has but let me explain. In serious mode she takes a sort of teacher to student approach and will actively and properly teach me when I need something with whatever information she has.

  In troll mode… she fucks with me so much that when I was making weapons I actually tried shooting her, only to have her freeze the laser shot and casually move out of the way or slowing the laser beams down and bending back like the matrix just to spite me.

  I couldn’t wait for the tutorials to be done with so that I would only need to hear her stupid comments and nothing else.

  Anyways the month is finally over and tomorrow the game officially goes live. I leave the stupid AI and head to bed early because tomorrow at 8 am is the release time and I will not be satisfied with anything besides being first on the station.
