Chapter one:

The message

The boy moved his wounded maple character as fast as he could, occasionally looking over his map to see if his pursuers were still behind him. He took a quick glance at the bottom of the screen to see his character only had 500hp. He looked at his inventory to see that he had used all of his potions and healing items on the battle…no, massacre he had just nearly escaped.

Once the boy thought his character was in the clear, he let him rest in a small house near the town Henesy. The house was only one room with a window holding a portal to some other area. The door also had a portal at its floor. There was a treasure chest on the floor and a bed beside it. It seemed not to be occupied by any other maplers at the time so he sat down.

When the character began to heal, the player began to try to make sense of what had just happened to him. "They slaughtered them…they slaughtered the whole guild!" The boy at the desk repeated to himself. "b-but how is that possible!? How could they hit us? And that brings up the question why for that matter?"

He looked up to the screen in time to see he was not alone in the room anymore. His pursuer had followed him! His hands dashed over the keyboards key's, making his character jump up and dash for the window portal. As he jumped in he began sending out a message by his NX cash mega phone to all maplers in kradia.

While he composed his message he had enough time to glance up to see where he had sent his thief. It was what seemed to be an exact replica of the other room he had just been in except for one fatal detail: other than the portal he had just used to enter this room in, there was no other portal. He was trapped inside this room, with his pursuer just seconds away from entering it.

The boy typed furiously on the keyboard until he had summed up his letter. He then went to the back of the room and waited for his characters untimely demise. Sitting there his hands began to tremble with the adrenaline flowing through him.

The boy looked up at his map to see that the enemy was right at the portals entrance. It seemed to be waiting for something, or some sort of recognition. It then entered the room. It then, walked into the portal and entered.

At once the boy clicked on his message and sent it to all of kradia's inhabitants. He smiled at this and glared at his enemy. "The last laugh is mine suppose," the boy said to himself.

"You're too late, I'm telling everyone about you and all that's happened here…I don't care what you do now that I know I won't lose my character in vain!" The boy typed in for his character to speak. "Now all of kradia will know about you! We may not have been able to destroy you, but someone will! You can be sure of that!"

The message popped up at that instant and the boy smiled. 'There's hope now,' he thought to himself.

Just then a dagger flew through the air and pierced his character, making it jump back into a wall. The blow took all of his health and instead of turning into a ghost, the boy's screen went blank. It was done, he had given hope to those of maplestory and so he was satisfied.

Meanwhile the figure yanked his dagger from the wall and set it aside. It looked up at the message the boy had written. Then, it turned away and walked into the portal.

The message said: DANGER!! Incredibly strong Maplers with ability to harm and or erase other characters!!!
