Now, this is my very first story on this site, so please be nice with the reviews. I'll accept any constructive critisism, because it might make a difference to the story. Enjoy!!

And also, I don't own RuneScape, and i won't say this in any other chapter, so let us get that straight first.

THE ADVENTURE THROUGH RUNESCAPE

Chapter 1: Welcome to RuneScape!!

There was a brilliant flash of white light. I opened my eyes, and, after looking at my surroundings, realised I was in a small house. The house was a bit empty. There was some stairs behind a locked door with a window in it, and there were potted plants and wooden chairs scattered right through the room. There were several different people in this house. There were 4 boys and 1 girl altogether. The girl was looking out the window with a far-away expression on her face. 3 boys were examining the house curiously, having no clue whatsoever where they were. Another boy was talking to a man with an olive-green suit, olive-green cape, and a brown goatee. The man was bald, and had a large rucksack on his back. I came to the decision to talk to this strange man.

In the end the man handed a small olive-green book the same colour as his clothes to the boy, who then left the house with a confident look in his eyes. Then, immediately, the girl sat up, and went up to the green man, who began talking to her. I sighed in frustration and impatience, and sat down on a nearby wooden chair. I looked at a nearby mirror and saw what I looked like for the very first time.

I had smooth, black hair, and rosy cheeks. I wore a plain, grubby, blue shirt, with white sleeves. I had blue trousers, which matched with my shirt. And I wore brown, simple shoes. I was shocked at myself. How come I’d never looked at myself thoroughly before? It felt as if I’d just been born, and I knew how to talk, and move, and do everything else a man should know how to do. But, I had no idea where I was, or how I got here. All I knew was that I would progress far more if I asked advice. And that man with the olive-green clothing looked like the perfect person to ask advice to.

The man handed the girl the exact same book he handed the boy earlier, and she left the house nervously. I was about to walk up to the man, when there was a flash of blinding white light, and another girl in simple green overalls appeared. The man just smiled warmly at her. I went up to him, but before I got the chance to say anything, he talked first.

“Welcome to RuneScape!!” he boomed heartily to me. “I am the RuneScape guide, and I’m here to give you a head start and explain about this land. And who might you be?”

“My name is Mainiac97,” I replied, without thinking.

(author's note: Mainiac97 is, in actual fact, my real username in RuneScape. Private message me if you want to meet me!)

“Ah right, it’s nice to meet you. Well, anyway, RuneScape is a very big place, and dangerous too (the wilderness, for example) and before you can set foot in it, you’ve got to learn the basics of RuneScape on this island, Tutorial Island. You’ll learn everything you can about RuneScape here-from cooking to killing, fishing to fire making, all the stuff you’ll need to survive in RuneScape will be taught to you right on this very island.

“Now, I’m about to give you a few things you can’t live without in RuneScape.” The RuneScape guide then handed me a large bag. “That bag can carry much more then you think it can carry. Another thing you’ll need would be this.” He then showed me the olive-green book. “That book is magical-it changes all the time. The pages in it include your friends list, and your ignore list, which are lists of people you like, and don’t like. If you like someone, and put him or her on your friends list, it will display their names, and allows you to chat with them privately. If the person is on you ignore list, they cannot communicate with you at all. Also, there is a list of what is in your bag, and what is in your bank (you’ll find out about the bank later on the island). It has a list of what you are wearing, and your combat level, the most important level of all your levels. And another thing would be your stat list. It is a list of your different stats at that moment. Stats are like different levels, for example, my fishing level is 34, or my crafting level is 26. If you look at the page regularly, it may make more sense to you. And the rest of pages are blank, for you to fill in. Remember, when you die, it’ll be the only thing that you keep, apart from 3 items, and your bag.” He then stopped, and handed me the book. I put it in a small pouch in the front of the bag.

“Now, go out that door, and follow the path to your next guide. She will teach you how to survive out in the world of RuneScape. Good luck, traveller.” He then said, and went off to start talking to another person. I sighed, feeling a lot more reassured. I knew now that I was in a place called RuneScape. All the information I needed had been given to me. I went out the house. I looked around, and marvelled at the beauty of it all. There was the grass, waving in the wind, the butterflies, flying past me, and the ocean nearby, moving in rhythm to the wind. I happily followed the path, ready for what lay at the other end.
