*A/N: Vainglory. An awesome mobile MOBA game that hasn't been getting that much attention. So I'm going to give the game some attention. If you ever encounter me in that game in Co op mode(I mostly play this mode.) look for the name ThePhantomDante. That's me. So let's this start this story of my first Vainglory fanfic with perhaps something dark?*

"This just in. Players of Vainglory have been disappearing due to a unusual light on their mobile devices. The creators don't know what may have caused it and are currently looking through the matter and is advising all players to uninstall the game until they finish looking through the matter."

If only they knew...that we are not what we seem...that this "game"...is showing us who we are...our true origins...

Chapter 1

(Dante's pov)

You've heard of Vainglory, right? You probably haven't cause it was in the Google play store not too long ago and I'm surprisingly addicted to it since it's a breath of fresh air for me when I was playing League of Legends all day. So...there was this new update in Vainglory that made a huge boon to the game. That update was pretty cool. They added epic chests, some improvements on items and heroes, they added more of those special neutral minions(I don't know it's name. All I know it's some tree looking minion.)support badges(which I think it tells you that you are helping the developers on the game.) whenever you pay money for ice and added a beta of a new mode called Blitz. But there is a dark side to this update...what the developers didn't tell you...that any player who updates their game...gets warped in the Vainglory universe for life. So that's what happened...I was warped in the Vainglory universe like around 4 in the morning and when I woke up...I find myself in the woods. Yeah...the woods.

The first thing I checked was myself if there was any changes and sure enough...there was some changes that I was not expecting me. I have fox ears, a fox tail and a black hakama with sandals on...oh and for some reason I have a katana and a dagger on my waist. Immediately I start to panic a bit when I start to realize what I am. For some reason, the developers thought it was a good idea to made me become someone from the house of Kamuha. I didn't ask for this...I never wanted for this happen. And to add insult to injury, my age downgraded INTO 17 YEAR OLDS!

Yeah! I'm not joking! I'm 17 years old! WHY, GAME?! WHY!?...ahem. moving on. As I was walking through the woods, I was already feeling a sense of dread...like if someone was watching me...but I kept moving forward as I try to find some safety. ...If only it were that easy...

"Where are you going, little kit?" Said an echo of whispers.

I look around in fear wondering who said that...but no one was here. So I kept going...but I hear the same voice...

"You cannot run from me any longer, little kit..." The whispers said this time menacing.

I start to walk a little faster as my heart starts beating a bit faster...the whispers got a little louder.

"I will take you back...where you belong...and you will never escape from our grasp again." The whispers said with almost a bit of anger.

That gave me to hint to haul ass out of there. I ran and ran as the voice started to laugh evily.

"You can't escape me...you belong to the house of Kamuha, Kirāfantomu." The voice cackled.

So my suspicions were right on the money...why the game would that to me...is beyond me. And why did it call me Kirāfantomu? So much things on my mind right now I never got the chance to stop as I ran for my dear life. As I rush out the woods, I start panting and gasping for fresh air as I felt the cold breeze on my skin...like a fool...I slowly turn behind me...and I see a set of red eyes peering through the darkness...whatever it was...it followed me...and it is after me. Was it some sort of agent of the Kamuha after me? Or was it something worse? Whatever it is...it's after me and it's waiting for the opportunity to catch me.

Deciding not to linger any longer, I rushed to the nearest village for safety. I managed to get a room to sleep for the night at an inn with some gold I had in my pocket but I was starting to get restless...and scared for two hours straight fearing that whatever was in the woods would follow me. I never thought the Kamuha were that scary or better yet an enemy that I should be weary about.

The next morning...

I woke up extremely tired due to my paranoia and fear from last night as I was eating breakfast stew while the woman who owned the inn looked at me rather worried.

"You okay, sir? You look like you saw a ghost." She said with a concern tone.

"Yeah...just...tired."

"I don't believe it. Something got you spooked and I want to know what." She crosses her arms rather unimpressed.

Should I tell her?...ah fuck it...

"Okay...you're right. Something did...spooked me. I was heading to this village when I saw glowing red piercing through the darkness. I was lucky I was agile to get out of there."

"Did you get a good look at it?"

"No. It was dark out. It's red eyes is what I only saw." I sighed.

"Blimey...I heard stories of dangerous creatures that show up at night but I never thought they could be real...don't your parents ever told not wander off in the woods at night?" She said rather shocked.

My fox ears lowered that as I showed my look of sorrow when she said that. She took the hint and sighs.

"Sorry. I shouldn't have said that."

"It's okay. I don't know my parents. wish I knew them." I scratched my head a bit.

"Ah...so you're an orphan then?" She asks.

"Yes." I nod.

Hmm...then again...do I even a family in this universe? And if so...what happened to them? Were they killed off only for me to possibly to join the ranks of the Kamuha? ...hmm...that's something I really want to know...

The rest of the morning was quiet and peaceful...just how I wanted. As I finished eating breakfast, I decided to rest a little longer to recover my energy more so I didn't pass out on the ground if I start to travel out.

I wonder...are my friends here too? If so...I hope they are okay.
