"Dom, you have visitors!" My mom called from downstairs.
"Coming!" I said as I rushed down the stairs, expecting my friends. I was right.
"Hey Dom!" They both said.
"You guys ready for the best thing ever in the history of gaming?"
"You bet!" said Kellan.
"This will be great!" said Etteine (pronounced a-t-n)
"Boys, head upstairs and I'll start dinner" replied my mom.
"Okay mom..."
-A few minutes later-
"Link start!" All three of us shouted. A few minutes later, I was met with the character creation area. Selecting a body somewhat like mine, I entered Dominic as my name. Earlier that month, after first winning the game in a random lottery while on vacation to Japan, we had agreed to use our real life names as our character names for simplicity. After I was fully in the game, I ran to our preassigned meeting spot, a particularly good shop for gear and items. I knew someone who was away opening day but was a beta tester, and so we knew some good spots for stuff.
"Hey guys. So... what were we going to do again for our skills? I'm going for Knife Throw, Short-sword, and Light Armor"
"I'm gonna be the tank. So, Shield, Heavy Armor, and Axe." replied Kellan.
"Well, I kinda want to be a craftsman, so I'll do Forge, Pick-axe, and Medium Armor." said Etteine.
"Alright then, lets get our gear and head out!"
-A few hours later-
"Guys, its about time we head back. We need to find a room for the night and log off." I said.
"Aww..." said Kellan.
"Guys, we got the entire weekend, and we can log back on after dinner."
"Ok then..." said Etteine.
As we start walking back to town, we hear the town alert bell go off.
"What does that mean again?" said Etteine.
"It means there is a major alert! Come on!" I replied.
Then, we teleported to the bell.
