The Blood Dome™

(I managed to delete everything I had previously written for this chapter AND THEN I DELETED THE LAST PART BECAUSE I CLICKED PUBLISH BEFORE UPDATE AND DIDNT KNOW HONEYFEED NEEDED YOU TO DO THAT!!!! I DUMBO!!I also decided to just go a new direction with it too so who knows, maybe for the best. anywho I needed you to know about my hardships before we began, thank you for your time. me -> ;-;)

"Hidetaka Miyazaki!!" I sat up like a gunshot gone off, that nightmare typa rise to action.

I blinked a few times and tried to acclimate to my surroundings and the lighting, or in both cases, more the lack of it.

There was nothing but large grey stone tiles forming the ground of what seemed to be like 20 residential blocks wide of just... floor, though what was above was far more striking.
A dome swirling in red & black with no opacity dawned the entire space, giving a dark red tint to the space that dimly lit the flooring, less effectively closer to the middle.

"What the... is this limbo or somethin?" I scratched my head where it was supposedly on the ground a few moments ago.

I got up once I had fully come to and looked around more intently to try and find any sort of possible destination or landmark, luckily for me I got what I looked for.

In the far far distance to god knows what direction there was a giant cathedral made out of something like limestone with a clock at the height of it's center, although it seemed incredibly far away, and it was where I began to head towards in hopes of some developments other then being stuck in limbo.

as I began my long trek through the swirling abyss i'll be calling the 'blood dome™' I realize it's going to be a long trek so I start going over what I assumed got me here.

"That swing at the end had to do like 60hp plus... what the hell..." well, thinking about it, I think that was alot of the result of that strength stat judging by how much damage all his swings were doing, though that could have been the club, where did he even get that?

"ahhhh~" I exhale all my un-answerable worries and decide the next best course of action is to reach into my satchel and pull out that book I was reading before the big bad pig reigned on my parade.
"Oh nice, I didn't lose anything." I said as I was ruffling through my things and noticed my knife was still sitting in there under my collection of hardcover info packs. I count my one blessing and grab the thing I was looking for and pull it out.

Wait... Didn't I have a bow? eh, you lose stuff in pvp, it was a beginner item anyway.

"Statistics..." I mouthed probably with a slightly sour scowl on my face from the last time I read this book, however the info in here was essential for fixing my win-loss ratio in the future.

I cracked'er open!

Yadda yadda points yadda yadda strength and I was back to where I left off.

Dexterity-

...

"Uaaagh! I wanna log off already...." My frustrated mindblock frustrated me into sitting back down on the ground.... frustratedly.
"And wheres my bow!" I threw my hands to the sky and fall back to the ground... just like how I started in this depressing dome...

"Siiiiigh~"

How would I even log off? I look back in my satchel to see the titles of the other books to see if I could satisfy my curiosity.

Reading them one by one before I lay them out in front of me 
"Statistics, Classes & skills, U.I usage & manipulation, Basic living calculations: An elaboration on statistics? And finally basics of combat calculations: An elaboration on statistics..."

Well i'm too upset to read the one on statistics or combat I think... But if I do open U.I I might log out when I figure out how...

I look around one more time, this time focusing on the fact i'm in a game.
I also recalled playing that shitty card games for 2 weeks grinding out a deck to use on the tournament and how awful it was to endure, the shitty flash animations, the awful pay-to-win mechanics, the almost dead state it was in, the absence only outweighed by the toxicity of the community. God I will never play another card game, not even go-fish or poker! Not black-jack, Yu-gi-oh, Magic, NOT EVEN POKEMON!

Alright fine, I'll play it through at least until that event or whatever for the server launch.
The sunken cost fallacy might've had me by the throat, but there's a reason it's so prevalent, it sucks to make an effort and get nothing from it.

Alright, guess I gotta suck it up.

I put all but one book away and got back on my feet, and once more, I cracked'er open!

I chose "U.I usage & manipulation."

I figured it was best to change gears from the other stuff for now.

This one had a contents page.

Establishing opening sequence - pg1-1

Navigation - pg2-6

Customization - pg 7-18

Short-cuts/hotkeys - pg 19-20

"Wow, customizations seems long."
And I began reading "Establishing opening sequence."

"The U.I can be summoned in any of the following ways.
"A voice command, A physical motion, a noise or thought. You will need to set a way to open your U.I for every category before it's usable. to do so you can simply say:"
I said it aloud as I read it "I wish to establish my U.I's opening sequence."

A white square popped up in front of me and inside were some blocks of text in grey. Seemingly covering the different U.I opening options.

I think about tapping on the "voice command" button before the box gets slightly bigger and darker before the white box changes everything that was inside of it, now reading.

"To set up a voice command for menu U.I usage, tap the button below and say your command aloud, you will be asked to re-say it to be safe."

"Huh, cool." It was already sunk in at this point but I really wasn't in Canzas anymore.

I tap the grey circle with a grey ring circling it further and it went a darker grey and the ring lost a 4th of it's length and started spinning around the circle as if it was loading.

I waited for a bit.

"Oh, it could be recording."

"Do you want to set 'Oh, it could be recording.' as your U.I voice command?" My first time hearing this robotic monotone voice and somehow I feel like it's mocking me.

....

"No, cancel..."

and the circle went back to a stationary light grey.

I decided to think on it for a second, if it was a voice command people would hear me use it after all , and I wasn't sure if you could set multiple or if they were changeable.

I tapped it again and clearly said "Profile open!" 

"Do you want to set 'Profile Open!' as your U.I voice command?"

"Yes." 

"Excellent, please repeat your U.I voice command."

"Profile open." I did it, this time with less enthusiasm, verification always sucks the magic away of the set ups I swear
thankfully it still went through.

"Welcome to Archova!" and then a tall white rectangle showed up from my eye level down to my naval area with a long list of options. at the top of which stated my info with like 4 lines of worth of empty space under it.

"Woah..." Can't help but be shocked and a little lost, but since I had time to kill before I made it to my destination so I decided to begin going over the navigation part of the booklet and keep on trekin.
