RPG where reading is power

You are in a world where technology advances every day—magic powers, qi, CHI, prana, and robots, and Eldritchs walk together and mingled. But here, fighting doesn't guarantee power; you have to enter a virtual reality world to fight. Now, in the normal world, knowledge is what defines you every day; the more you read, the more knowledge you have about everything from plants to the universe, the more you are treated like a king here, and if you are old, everyone respects you.

Choose: Race, Type of energy used (mana, QI, etc.), The character's IQ level (maximum of 5, and your other attributes will suffer because of this, such as loss of strength, etc.), gender, Appearance, Alignment Good/Evil, etc., and what player level you will be when you enter the virtual reality capsule (maximum of 5).
