1 The Final Soldiers

Usada stepped into the tall dark building. The building, which was the place where all hunter wanna-be's apply to get their hunter license was marked with a distinctive gold X on the exterior of the building. At the front desk, Usada who dressed in a white blouse with fluffy bunny ears and two dices at the side of her head asked the assistant at the front desk for an application form.

The assistant, who in her early 20's looked up from a clipboard that, had the name of all the applicants. She dished out a fresh form for Usada to fill up. Usada borrowed a pen from the assistant, and then Usada filled up the form.

Just as Usada was halfway through the form, a young chap dressed in purple came in, and went to another assistant, asking for a form. Usada noticed that the chap was carrying an extremely big sword, in fact, the sword might just be taller than Usada herself. For no reason, the chap turned to face Usada, it might be because he sensed her looking at him.

Usada finished filling up the form, and passed it, with a ten-dollar note to the assistant. The assistant asked," Is your name Usada?"

Usada replied," Yes, is anything wrong?"

The lady told Usada," Nope, just a routine check. Ok! Everything has been done, I am Lily, and might be your examiner. Remember me OK?" Usada nodded her head. Lily continued," Your HUNTER card now has 0 points in it. When you step into the Virtual Reality Machine, the VRM will need you to scan your card into a slot at the left of the entrance. In the VRM, you will be playing an RPG called Time Pandora. Where you can gain points by doing certain activities and lose points in others. The choices of player type you can choose are Merchant, Assassin, or Townsman. Which one would you like to be?"

Usada thought for a moment and then said," Townsman is my choice."

Lily nodded her head and handed the card to Usada, and said," You will need to top up your card once every ten hours, and each subsequent payment will be reduced by fifty cents, with a minimum of five dollars. Points gained in the game can be treaded in for many different items. If you have enough points, you might even trade points for an infinity time card. According to a rumor, if you get a certain amount of points, can become a God in the game! I've been playing this game for so many years but until now, I've never even gotten to see the Gods yet."

Usada walked towards the VRM when the chap in purple walked towards it too. He smiled and asked Usada if she was new to the game. Usada nodded her head slowly. The chap smiled and said with a large grin," Well, I'm Cloud. You might want to follow what I do. What did you choose as your job?"

Usada told him," Townsman."

Cloud said," Well, that's not one of the most exciting jobs, but t hat way you don't need to fear having your valuables robbed of getting killed by other clans in the game." Cloud said and slid his card in a slot on the wall of the entrance to the VRM. Next, he said," Just slide your card down this slot when the light turns red. I'll meet you at the other side of the VRM." With that , Cloud stepped into the VRM, into the darkness.

The light above the door turned red. Usada followed cloud's instructions and slid her card down the slot. The door of the VRM opened and Usada stepped into the night.

When Usada called out for Cloud, she received a loud hissing sound. Cloud pulled at her blouse, motioning for her to stay low. He whispered to her," We are near Dnivog's camp. Dnivog is a powerful knight that ruled a large piece of land. She kills all people that stand in her way of ruling the world , and now that we are so near her camp, she might mistake us as spies and kill us. In fact no one has ever survived her once she ordered her men to kill the person."

Cloud turned his head to face to see Usada sitting in a sexy pose. He moved towards her and pushed her onto her back. Next he sat on her, preventing her from moving. He drew his hands towards the girl's breast. Usada tried to get him off her but to no avail. She closed her eyes in despair, as she was helpless. Then, suddenly, Cloud's weight got off her. She opened her eyes to see Cloud holding a large black spider.

Cloud spoke," Sorry about that, there was a poisonous spider on your breast pocket, if I were to tell you, you would not have been able to catch it, in fact, it might even have killed you if I had no noticed it."

Usada heaved a sigh of relief," Thank you."

Cloud then said," You have to be pretty careful around here." Cloud popped the struggling spider into his mouth. He mowed his jaws up and down, resulting in a crunch with every two seconds. Next he swallowed the spider, and said with a grin," Spiders from Renorw are delicious, though deadly."
