.HACK//THE WORLD R:2
NEWFOUND LIFE
--.hack REWLZ!! I'm trying my best, Kaitosan!! hope you enjoy this story:)
I'm still developing my writing skills; I know, I know, it is funny, but hey! not everyone is good at writing stories like this so please...NO FLAMES!! thanks.--
Our story is of a fifteen-year-old boy, his name is Lan Glek. He's been playing "THE WORLD" for years; a decade to be precise. His home is Tokyo, Japan, he rooms with a 'sweet sixteen' female whose name is only to be said by the 'chosen ones' as she says...a REAL prep all has changed since the crash of "THE WORLD" seven years ago. Lan thinks it will be the same but when his roommate plays for the first time it is as if she's played before...
/FILE OPEN... WELCOME TO THE WORLD/
I remember the first time I booted "THE WORLD R:2" I was phased to the once OLD peaceful-looking, greek-like world of Delta server, Mac Anu. Now it has been transformed into an industrial land. I raised my level of my Adept Rogue, Reaper. Now, forty-nine levels later I enter the arena in lamda server, 'The Warring City, Luminus Cloth' I quickly rose the charts. I defeated the number one team, team AKATSUKI with pain because of their leader, Alkaide. WHAT A BITCH!! I then challenged the emperor, Endrance. How I beat him, I'll never know. Now, to keep my title and preserve my fans I must face the infamous PKK, 'THE TERROR of DEATH' Haseo...
An audience of two-hundred thousand spectators; men, women, and beasts alike watch; cheering, screaming, and hollaring; R-E-A-P-E-R!!
R-E-A-P-E-R!! this adept rogue who has only completed one of a few 'JOB EXTENSION' event quests dares to challenge me? alone? he MUST be a fool, I saw his fight with Endrance. It took his whole team, Silabus; a blade brandier and Atoli; a wave master, and his own special avatar, 'SKEITH' to defeat Endrance and appear before me. Now I stand on this large, steel gray, circular platform which has a flame red, pulsating barrier field covering the circumfrance of the ring. In front of me stands a tall figure dressed in a black clad of shirt and pants with a long black cape and spiky blond hair and green eyes with two red arrow-arch-like symbols pertruding from under his eyes to his cheeks. Shows his "i'm going to beat you and become emperor" expresson on.
"So, Haseo," I began to speak politely, "Shall we commence?" throwing my arms behind my back and pulling out my weapons of choice, two long, chainsaw-like crimson red twin-blades; which I dubbed 'LA MAGRA'
"Is that all you've got to say, Reaper? Shall we commence?" he began with intolerance in his fiery voice.
"How's about YOU apologize to me for her loss!!" he harshly quelled
"ME? you say? why me? I thought Atoli fell because of AIDA and him, TRI-EDGE. No?" I retorted rhetorically, just standing there; straight up staring at him with a smile; which reared itself, a hint of 'fun'
Now pissed off, Haseo pulls out his twin-blades, 'Jack hammers' and ferociously screams before charging me,
"DON'T YOU EVER SPEAK OF HIM AGAIN!! AHHHHH!!"
THAT was before I was denied exit from "THE WORLD" I was unable to log out...
---before the incident---
"Come on, Lan!! we're going to be late if you don't hurry your sorry ass up!!"
"Yeah, yeah. I'm hurrying up as fast as I can, Ro." I shouted back running toward this figure who wore a long red kimono-like outfit; who also has brown eyes and dyed blue hair. his idol is Crim laughs
"Well we have five minutes before our last class starts. You know, Mrs. Himiko's class." he slyly and jokingly reminded me smiling his "the ladies can't get enough of me" expression on his face
---after Mrs. Himiko's class; room 111---
"Finally!!" I exclaimed releasing a long sigh of relief,
"No more classes for the week. Now for some more of "THE WORLD" wonder who's on today." I sit down in my black leather office chair in front of my computer which was up against the north-east wall of my green and blue wallpapered walls of my room next to a window which gave me acess to overlook the play yard of the campus. On my desk lay "THE WORLD R:2 instruction booklet, a light, tons of notebooks, ten different school subject books, my keyboard, and my FMD(game visor) and its controller. I quickly double-click the desktop picture of "THE WORLD R:2" (it booted pretty fast) typed in my screen name and password and I was logged in. I checked the BBS first thing, (as usual) and saw there was a new thread added to the rumors forum. I opened up the forum, scrolled down and opened the new thread which read,
SUBJECT: RE: MORE HACKERS SIGHTED? WHERE? BY: THRASHER-BLADEZ 2020-AC
YOU SAW MORE HACKERS? AT DELTA, HARMFUL MILITARY BERSERKER?!! REALLY? WHO WAS IT THIS TIME? THAT HELBA CHAR?
"That Helba char?" I thought to myself in shock
"She's back? when? how? weird." I know it is just a rumor, but what if this thread was true? would I be surprised or scared? I saved that thought in the back of my mind for now and read on,
YEAH, I SAW HER TOO!! ONLY I SAW HER AT DELTA, JOURNEYFUL CHILLS FORTRESS AND SHE WAS LIKE... A ZOMBIE MAN, I SWEAR. I WALKED RIGHT PAST HER SLOWLY SCARED, AND SHE DIDN'T LIKE ATTACK ME OR SAY A WORD OR EVEN MOVE AN INCH. I SAID HI, AND SHE JUST STOOD THERE, LIKE SHE WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE... OR SOMETHING. SUDDENLY I TURN AROUND AND SEE A GLOWING, PULSING, FLOATING BLUE ORB WHICH TRANSFORMED INTO A CHAR WITH BLUE FIRE AROUND HIM, HE HELD TWO FLICK BLADES(AS I CALL THEM) AND STARTED TO WALK TOWARD ME, I SCREAMED "TRI-EDGE?!" THEN I GATED OUT. THAT WAS ALMOST A PK FOR ME. THAT'S ALL FOR NOW, I'LL POST MORE WHEN I FIND OUT MORE INFO. ALSO, PERTAINING TO THE THREAD BY MACHA1224, CHECK OUT DELTA, FORBIDDEN HOLLARING GIRL. PEOPLE SAY THEY'VE SEEN TRI-EDGE TALKING TO THAT GIRL IN WHITE THERE.
"Tr-Edge?! girl in white?! AURA!! I'd better check it out. Wonder if my team is on." I think before entering delta server, Holy City Mac Anu.
Upon arriving, I stand there; dumbstruck and wide-eyed still from what I read on the forums. (Yes. I love reading the rumors more than any other forum; mostly) characters of all kinds run back and forth, talk, trade, buy, sell, save, and gate to fields or other servers.
"I need to get my team assembled." I tell myself before sending a short mail to both my friends; SYN and EYE. In seconds I get a reply from both of them.
"SURE!! on my way!"
next thing I notice are two golden rings which appear in front of me and two figures emerge.
"This had better be good, REAPER." the left figure spoke with urgency
"Hey there, EYE," I answered looking at this fox-like beast char, level fifty; who wears a demon armor outfit(a very rare item set) who has three long, red lines diagonally dragging from his left eye to his right cheek and wields a large heavy blade; 'THE PUNISHER'(another rare item)
Then I look to my right and greet this female human char; who is a steam gunner, level fifty; who wears a yellow tank top, very short, tight red under garment with a purple sash around her waist and has ear-length black, straight hair, blue eyes, and a red circle on her right cheek(Japan's flag) with knee-high leather, snake-skin boots on and wields, 'MATRIMONY' steam gun
"Hi there, SYN. Nice look and new gun? cool." I happily and flirtingly greet
"Hiya!! REAPER. Where're we going?" she asks politly
"Um...Oh yeah!! have you guys read the rumors forum lately?" I ask before telling them anything else
"Yes." they both answer in unison
"Good. First, we're going to, DELTA- HARMFUL MILITARY BERSERKER. To see if any hackers were sighted there lately-" I was cut off by EYE who laughed loudly and clapping. Everybody around us stopped doing what they were and just stared in all ways possible, confused, mad, scared, laughing, smiling.
"You're still after Helba, aren't you, REAPER? that's why we're going there first isn't it? still trying to find out why she did what she did right?"
"Why do you, of everyone here, think that as your first guess? hmmm, EYE, why?" I rhetorically question with anguish and my eyes glaring into his
"Because, REAPER, after what happened that day, all you whined about was Helba this and Helba that and also, don't forget, REAPER, I MUST find and question Helba."
"Okay, okay!! I understand your point, EYE, really, I do. Now, can we please get going before it gets any later?" I blurt trying and hoping to change the subject before those memories come back to haunt me...again.
"Then lets go, guys!!" SYN speaks breaking the dead, lifeless silence
"Right." I answered and together EYE, SYN, and me all warp to the area of which I typed, DELTA- HARMFUL MILITARY BERSEKER. To look for the hacker that was supposedly sighter there, HELBA.
