Chapter 4: sBarbarian” Fei (1/2)
Chapter 4: “Barbarian” Fei
“Why am I here? What happened?”
The recent events left confused Fei even more. The only thing he knew for sure was that he had magically appeared in this Diablo-esque world after that mysteriously cold voice read off some familiar loading screen lingo. Looking around, Fei saw that he had become a “Barbarian”, which Fei recognized was one of the game characters.
The rusty hand axe appeared in his right hand and a battered, junk-like buckler in his left. It didn’t take long for Fei to subconsciously understand his status in the game.
The next second, a high tech like screen popped up in front of him out of nowhere, just like those in Iron Man’s mansion.

……
“These are my attributes in the game?”
Fei saw his name on the top of the screen. “What the heck! I just became the king and now I’m in a game world? And a barbarian? NO! At least let me be classier like a wizard or a crusader.”
At this moment, an armored man in blue rushed over.
“Greetings, stranger. I’m not surprised to see your kind here. Many adventurers have traveled this way since the recent troubles began. No doubt you’ve heard about the tragedy that befell the town of Tristram. Some say that Diablo, the Lord of Terror, walks the world again……”
The man just went on and on with his dialogue. Fei’s jaw dropped.
As one of the original fans of Diablo, Fei could immediately see that this man was Warriv, a NPC (Non-playable character) from the【Rogue Encampment]by the way he dressed and his dialogue lines. Every time a new player spawns, this dude will run to the player with a big golden question mark over his head.
Fei observed him while listening to his lines.
Neither his movement nor his facial expression felt like an NPC. If Fei didn’t recognize this man, he would have thought that Warriv was a real person. Even the heat that he exhaled while speaking turned into a white fog in this cold air. Fei even felt the moist sensation from it.
“I’m not sure if the NPCs in this world have any intelligence?”
After Warriv finished his long speech, Fei purposely asked a few questions.
“Hey, what’s your mother’s maiden name? What street did you grown up on?”
However, Warriv didn’t bother answering him. He just walked away after he finished.
He still left Fei clueless.
After thinking for a while, Fei decided to go find another person – Priestess Akara.
From his gaming memory, if he remembered correctly, the first ever quest in Diablo’s first map 【Rogue Encampment]was from her, a high priestess from the sisterhood of the “Sightless Eye”. On top of that, she was also the leader of the 【Rogue Encampment]so Fei had to find her if he wants to know what was going on.
The streets were quiet and lifeless.
