Jacobs
say that made my head whip towards him with a hopeful expression,
which was cast down quickly as he finished. “However, you have
to pay a fee to do so, and can’t log back in for a few days.”
    “ Seriously,
man?” I groaned with my head held low. “If I had the
money, sure, I’d be all over that. But I’m here to earn
the cash, and by the time I get enough money to be able to afford
that, I’d probably be too familiar with this guy. Don’t
suppose it’s possible to roll up an alt?” There was still
that last flicker of hope in my voice, looking for a way to have a
more interesting race.
    Jacobs
simply smirked and shook his head. “One character per account,
one account per customer. If I were you, I’d suggest looking
into gene therapy once you get higher level. Not sure if this game
has it or not, but with how advanced the setting is, and the number
of races I’d be surprised if they didn’t. If they go like
other sci-fi VR’s, then gene therapy should be a valid means to
evolve.”
    I
nodded my head, resigning myself to this fate. Like he said, gene
therapy was a pretty common thing in most sci-fi games, especially
for humans. Was a way to get additional traits and powers from alien
races. Of course, the more you alter yourself, the less human you
become. And the less human you become, the less effect future
therapies had unless they were custom designed, and those are
expensive. “So, what magics did you learn in the tutorial?”
    “ Hmm?
I got gravity magic. Seemed like a good mix between planet usage and
space. Though I wish I had gotten something with a heal in it now.
I’ve only got two other friends that chose to play elf, and
they both went for the high variant.”
    Once
more, I looked at him with a bit of hope. “I think my magic
should get a heal eventually. But did the net community only get one
magic? I was able to choose two when I got to that part.” He
nodded his head in answer. “Huh. Well, maybe we can share? I
mean, it’s not like those basic spells took ages to learn,
right?”
    He
thought about it, but shook his head. “Not sure that’d
work. Devron said that training was accelerated in the tutorial, so
it may have just been easier for us to pick them up. Just imagine if
a bunch of people all got together and learned all of the basic
spells, then shared them like that? Would make a small group of
really versatile casters. There are probably other factors involved
with being able to teach skills.”
    By
this time, we were finally coming up on the destination, a large
collection of trees that had twisted together to form a spiraling
tower overlooking the forest. Well, they sure know how to make an
impression.
    Once
we got inside, we were separated into various groups based on the
types of magic we had learned. Since we were getting split up, Jacobs
and I decided to add each other to our friends lists. To my surprise,
I found that I already had two names on the list, and decided that I
would contact them later. Unless there was some glitch that made it
so random people appeared on the friends list, that should mean that
those two are my immediate family, my parents.
    Anyways,
back to the tower, I was in a group of people that had been brought
up to the third floor. My group was focused on elemental magic, such
as my wind. I’m not really sure if Nature Magic qualifies as an
element, but it was the first relevant group that was called for me.
Our teacher this time was, of course, another elf. This one wore red
robes, and his gnarled staff gripped a ruby at its tip, as if it was
naturally grown with the gem in place.
    “ Alright,
now all of you should be here for roughly the same purpose. You’re
all Travelers that have just entered our world, and the gods have
blessed you with the very basics of magic. However, it is up to us to
educate you on your future paths.” The man spoke slowly, as if
talking to a group of children.
    “ There
are three types of casting in this
