More or less, I own NOT the Dot.Hack project. I'd have already made thousands off the idea, if not millions, but I could never have pulled it off quite as well as the original owners and producers of the Dot.Hack project. All new characters and situations are mine, but characters such as Tsukasa, Kite, et al, belong to Bandai.

Clicky clicky. Someone's mouse gets put into action. Her headset lays next to her, her controller sitting inside of it. She checks her mail with those two clicks. In it, a single message. CC Corp's only real information in a long, long time. She opened it and read.

Sender: CC Corp., Subject: Wavemaster with a Sword Event
Dear all Wavemaster players,
CC Corp. is sponsoring a new event for the Autumn season. The "Wavemaster with a Sword" event will commence on September 21 and end when the event has been completed by a Wavemaster player or when Autumn changes to Winter on December 21, whichever comes first.
The event will be held for all Wavemaster players on Lambda server: Orphen, Herald, Holy Ground. To participate, all you need do is show up at the dungeon's entrance and give the CC Corp. representative your name. You will be given thirty minutes in a special 10 level dungeon to complete the task. Once you have reached the Gott statue, you will recieve the rare event item, "Wavemaster's Sword", a Golden Grunty, and a Silver Grunty.
The conditions are as thus:
Only one player may enter the event, and the player's character MUST be of the Wavemaster class.
Characters MUST complete all 10 levels of the dungeon. There is a Gott statue in every level of the dungeon that will contain helpful items for use only in the dungeon. You do not need to claim these items to move to the next level of the dungeon.
You do NOT have to open every magic portal NOR defeat every monster in the dungeon. However, normal dungeon rules apply. If you do not open the magic portal of the room and defeat the monster(s) within, you cannot proceed.
You may take one other non-Wavemaster player into the dungeon with you, but the extra character will be stripped of all items. This character also will not be attacked until the Wavemaster has been defeated.
Fairy Orbs and their equivelents are prohibited.
The prize, "Wavemaster's Sword" is a special event item that allows the Wavemaster who wins it to use any weapon from any class so long as the Wavemaster keeps this sword in his or her inventory. It does not count if the item is stored at Elf's Haven. However, this sword does take up 5 inventory spaces of 40.
Good luck!
CC Corp.

The woman smiled for a moment while she logged into "The World", the only real online game of any value. She put on her headset and grabbed her controller and prepared to enter the contest.
*--**--**--**--**--*
There was a moment of disorientation while the character "Theina" logged in and looked around. Carmina Gadelic certainly was a beautiful place, but she wondered why they never designed it to change from night to day. She stared for a few seconds at the Chaos Gate, then realized what she was doing and moved on.
In one hand, she held a staff. In the other, she held a bag of gold, ready to be spent on items, mostly "Blood" and "Bane" items and healing potions. And she wondered which of her fellows she would call to witness the event. Would it be the intelligent Heavy Axeman, "Logos"? Or perhaps the silver-haired Blademaster, "General Tso". Then again, she could bring along the nimble-footed Twin Blade "Grant".
She stopped for a second. "Monsters won't attack my partner until I'm downed first. But they come in itemless anyway. Well, I could let Grant go ahead of me in the dungeon and tell me what awaits. I could give him a few recovery items so he can heal me while I fight since he can't fight. Besides, he's quick, so he can block monsters while I'm battling. Hopefully there aren't any magic-resistant monsters. I'll be so screwed if there are. Wait... Twin Blade weapons... I can carry everything I'll ever need inside and then just give them to him when we get in." She was planning it all, how to "cheat" the system legally.
While thinking, Theina walked into another Wavemaster, also preparing for the momentous occassion. "Watch it!" the other Wavemaster yelled. Theina bowed deeply several times while voicing her immense apologies. When the other Wavemaster had left Theina stared around. Carmina Gadelica was full of Wavemasters. There were lines at the magic and item shops. She expected every Wavemaster in the game would eventually be there. And she knew that she had gotten the message a little later than everyone else since she'd been away on a business trip.
"Damn," was her quick and simple reply to it all. Theina, dressed in her greens and grays, headed off to the Chaos Gate to warp to one of the other two root towns open to the public. She approached the gate and accessed. Delta Server, she decided. Mac Anu, Son of a Goddess was going to be her targeted destination.
Unfortunately, Mac Anu was also crawling with Wavemasters. She expected Dun Loireag to be the same. She sighed and dropped into line behind the players heading to Elf's Haven.
*--**--**--**--**--*
By the day's end, Theina had gone nowhere, but she had gotten a few newbies to pay a bit higher price for her ordinary higher leveled weapons and armor than the actual shops would pay, plus she got a few elixers and potions she could use in the dungeon. Overall, the day wasn't a complete waste.
The desktop of Theina looked unsightly. It was dressed in the standard orange "ALTIMIT" features. She despised it, but she just didn't feel it necessary to change it to the alternate red or blue versions of the same design. She quickly checked her mail and found nothing new. She opened the new mail feature and typed up a message to her Twin Blade playing friend, Grant, asking for assistance.
