Chapter 1: Logging On
"Finally. That was a pain. Ok I need a name… I know. Something Angelic, but what?" It was his first MMORPG, and it was a popular one. "The World" He wanted It to be perfect. In the mist of his thoughts a phone rang. He quickly fumbled with the receiver before finally answering it.
"Yo?" He said in a formal greeting.
"You on yet?" Came a voice at the other end.
"Yeah, I'm working on it, Acosta." He said to his friend.
"Ok, Edgar I'm almost done too. I'll check on Chels." Acosta announced before hanging up.
Edgar sat there for a second, on the dilemma at hand. "I've got!" He said joyfully typing the name he had though of. "What better name then 'The Azith of the Ark!' "
He moved on to the job classes. He had a name and an Idea. 'I'll go with Blade Master.' He though to himself, as he another clicking a button on the screen. He then moved on to the character model.
He wanted something out of the normal. He started with the hair. "I want simple jet black, just as the night. Eyes like the ocean so blue, and slight facial hair. Skin color? A light tan, maybe, or a whiter shade. This is hard." He scratched his head. "Light it is. Now clothing. Well I'm going with the Knight look, not Highlander. Colors? Black and blue. That'll do." His Character had short hair. He wore black armor with no shoulders. And blue chain mail underneath. He used a basic sword. No Helm and Black leg armor.
Ok Time to login into…'The World'.
Edgar slid on his goggles and dove into 'The World'.

The screen went black for a second the in blue box with white letters appeared "Mac Anu"
He Appeared in the Aqua Capital. He was amazed at how real the graphics look.
He just stood there watching other users running around, and talking.
"Hey! Newbie get out the way. Your HOLDING up traffic!"
Azriel turn to see a Blonde LongArm male. He was wearing loose white shirt with gold around the collar, and gold breast plates. At his wrists were gold bands. He also wore white pants, and sandals. His weapon looked like a gold trident with a spear tip at the opposite end.
Azriel looked up and down awed by the character design.
"You know it's a bad thing to stare at someone. Do you know who I am?"
Azriel shook his head. "Enlighten me." He replied sarcastically
The user stood proudly. "I am Za'Afiel! You should try not to attract attention to yourself like that newbie over there."
Za'Afiel pointed to a character on the bridge in the center of Mac Anu. He was a Heavy Blade with long with hair. He wore red cloth and was bare foot. 'think InuYasha cause I at a loss for words.' "Yeah he's been starring at the female users for close to five minutes now."
It struck Azriel that only one person it could be. As he ran down the stairs of the Chaos Gate and to the Bridge.
Azriel stopped next to the heavy blade. "If it isn't InuAcosta. As easy to find as always, Ya?"
" Edgar?" InuAcosta replied.
"No, it's Santa." Azriel replied sarcastically.
"Oh? Then I want a pony and some blank disks!" InuAcosta replied joking around.
"Here in 'The World' I'm Azriel got it?" Azriel said trying to intimidate InuAcosta.
"You got it Ed-Err I mean Azriel." InuAcosta tried to correct himself.
"Ok now we need is Chels to log in before we play the game."
Then over at the chaos gate a female Twin Blade logged into the delta server.
She was had black hair and a head band. She wore a black tank top with a grey vest over it, and long black pants. Around her waist was a series of straps and chains, and fingerless gloves. Her weapons were simple Amateur Blades. The person was definitely going for the assassin look.
She looked around and spotted Azriel and InuAcosta on the bridge. She took off towards them. She was shouting loudly.
"Acosta! I'm gonna hurt you soo bad!"
The two turned to each other. They both knew who it could be. Chels, for the killing.
InuAcosta then bolted heading to the weapons shop. It didn't take to long until the only thing standing in Chels's way was; there was anti PK rule, or it was frowned highly upon.
Azriel watched on enjoying the antics of his friend, but decided to stop Chels before she went too far.
"Ok Ms. Dante, don't kill the dog, just yet. We need him for our party, do either of you know how to form a party?"
The three of them looked at one another. Then agreed none of them did. So they ask the closest user to them.
She was a Wave Master. She had a similar design to Za'Afiel but she was white and silver, with white hair, and wore a robe over it all. Her weapon was wooden staff that swirled at the top with a shell.
" Well forming parties are easy. First exchange member addresses. Then use the drop down menu and select the party menu. Then select form party. Next put the users you want in you party. If they respond, then there goin' to appear next to your own image at the bottom of the screen. Easy, No? I'll show you."
Soon two other players came running to meet with her. One surprisingly was Za'Afiel and the other was a Wave Master who wore black robes with a white trim. He was holding a staff that looked like a skeleton.
"Let me introduce my friends and, I. He's Za'Afiel. The dark looking one is my game brother Makatiel, and I'm Iofiel. Together were!"
The three all struck a pose as they recited in unison "Fallen Messengers!"
Azriel and his friend thought for a second how silly they all looked.
InuAcosta was the first with a reaction. "That was ummm…Ok. I guess."
Then a vein bulged on Za'Afiel forehead. "What you say?"
InuAcosta dug his pinky into his ear. "That just much, if you ask me."
"Well NO one was asking YOU!" Za'Afiel growled as Iofiel, and Makatiel restrained him.
Azriel, and Ms. Dante thought it would be a good idea to leave gracefully. They Dragged InuAcosta, to the chaos gate.
"Now to get goin'." Azriel said approaching the chaos gate, but was stopped by Ms. Dante.
"You mind if we go back to the weapons shop. I forgot to get the Assassin's blades."
Azriel thought for second. "Let's scatter, be back in five minutes."
InuAcosta went back to the bridge were a group of people had gathered around as a gondola with Lady Subaru and Silver Knight was pasting by.
They regrouped at the chaos Gate. Azriel approached the gate. He selected the random warp. The random keywords were "Delta: Bursting, Passed Over, Aqua Field."
The three were warped to the field. It was a grassy plain with minimal magic portals. This is where they'll learn the battle mechanics. They approached a portal.
A goblin appeared. A small creature that was no taller than there knee cap. It was a gray and had a single dagger.
InuAcosta swung at it with his Zero katana, but the goblin side stepped his attack. Ms. Dante and Azriel decided to each take a portal each and on the last they'll all attack.
Acosta had hit the goblin once, and its HP was fading fast. He himself had taken a hit or two, but he finally diced the goblin for the victory. Then a blue treasure chest appeared.
"Sweet my first win, and sweeter treasure." InuAcosta proceeded to open the blue chest, but once he opened it, there was an explosion that did critical damage to his HP. "DAMN!" He shouted going through his inventory for a health potion. "Why no one tell me it was rigged?"
Azriel and Ms. Dante look at one another for a second before laughing at InuAcosta's mishap.
"What you think fortune wire is for? Not to make you cash." Ms. Dante taunted. "Anyway the next one's mine."
Ms. Dante approached the next portal with her claws held high. She took the standard Twin Blade stance and waited for the monster to materialize.
Another goblin appeared but before it could fully appear Ms. Dante unleashed a skill. "Saber Dance!" She started to slash the goblin as if performing a graceful dance, and by the end the goblin was dead. Ms. Dante continued to dance in victory.
" Ten points for the Twin Blade, and one for Heavy Blade. Ya gotta admit she studied the guide book." Azriel said to make InuAcosta feel like the real newbie he was. "Well I'm up to bat. Better check my skills before starting this battle." He paused for a second. "Great I can raise earth element of an area…"
InuAcosta proceeded to check his own skills. "I got, Hayabusa, and Ap Ganz."
Azriel decided to approach the portal. The goblin appeared, and Azriel ran. The goblin chased after, and caught up quick, so Azriel ran around in a circle.
His team was on the floor laughing. They loved Azriel running form the goblin. It was as if he was scared of the tiny thing.
Azriel ran till he was behind a large object coming out the ground. He smiled a cocky smile, as he used a speed charm. He shot from his hiding place a round to have the goblin pinned against the wall. He raised his sword up and started to attack. After a few slashes the goblin had fell.
"InuAcosta? How ya like my little strategy?" He boasted raising his sword in victory.
InuAcosta scratched his head, as he swung his Zero Katana over his right shoulder. " So what. You and Ms. Dante over there know more about the game then I. I'm a quick study and I'll prove it. Tell me get the last portal!"
Azriel and Ms. Dante looked at one another and nodded.
"Sure you'll handle the next monster." Dante said sarcastically, as she nudged InuAcosta in the ribs.
Azriel still feeling the effects of Ap Do was running laps around his friends. "Go right ahead. "Just remember not to open the blue chests."
InuAcosta stepped toward the portal, but was stopped by a user.
"Hey! I wouldn't do that if I was you."
He turned around to see a Heavy Axe, emerging from the dungeon followed by Za'Afiel and his party.
The Heavy Axe was in gold and black armor no helm. He had blonde hair, black eyes, and was smaller in body then the ones seen around Mac Anu. His axe was a basic level one Golden axe.
Acosta looked confused "why not?" He said getting aggravated.
The Heavy Axe shook his head. "Cause this place has been infected. Luckily no has gotten hurt, so step away."
Acosta look at the Heavy Ax skeptically. "So what's infected?"
The Heavy Axe shook his head, and let out a heavy sigh. "I guess we'll do this the hard way." He clapped his hands together. He pointed at InuAcosta and shout. "Suvi Lei!"
InuAcosta Turned Yellow and couldn't move! Then he proceeded to paralyzed Azriel, Dante, Za'Afiel, Makatiel, and Iofiel. Afterwards the area screen began to shake, and then the area data became exposed. All the 0's and 1's.
The Heavy Axe looked around. "Oh…shit. It's begging."
He looked at his captives and smile. "I guess I'll lock you all here for awhile."
There was the sound of keys on a keyboard clicking and a small noise rang.
He then walked over to the to the portal and out pop a goblin with strange figures in its name and its HP came up as "G&b1#n and #1$-n"
Now as that time six user of "The World" Went into a coma. There parents each heard a loud thump coming from there son, or daughter's room, and as they walked in they saw there child lay on the floor next to there computer wearing the goggles of the popular game "The World". There parents call for the paramedics. There had each slipped into a coma. It was the weirdest thing. When they were given the news there child might not wake up…nothing could explain there reaction.
"It was the beginning of the end, of those six users. We will enjoy our little game." A voice said from with in "The World"
