Cookie Zero: "The World"
The Delta server, home of Mac Anu, is the beginning area for most players of "The World". The massive multi-player online RPG game known as "The World" is a hit all over the planet. Many people, from many countries, play this game that was developed by CC Corporation. However, this game isn't complete and constantly undergoes change.
Lately, such changes have occurred that are dangerous to the game and it's players. First there was rumor of a Wavemaster who had control of a horrible guardian monster, and then there was the rumor of undefeatable monsters that no one has yet to beat. Such strange events must lead to a breaking point and in turn come at full force.
"The World" is beginning a change that even the CC Corp is afraid of. Still the game itself is selling more and more copies and is well into the millions. Thanks to the OS Altimit, "The World" is given the chance to enter many homes.
In this virtual world, and away from these events are the people who play the game unbeknownst to it's danger. The teenager, Higamaki Sago, is one of them. Of course most people know him as Janx. That is his character's name when playing "The World". He is a Twin Blade class of character with some customization of his own. The character Janx has hair of red, and it's style is basically it sticking up in the front and down in the back. Janx has a dark blue coat with rolled up sleeves, and it's unfastened so the white undershirt shows. They have on a pair of brown gloves, and on each lower arm, multiple brown belts tightly fastened. The pants of this character are a similar blue, but with flames at the side, and bottom of the legs. A basic character design in all.
Here in the Town Square of Mac Anu, Janx walks about. Searching for others to join him in defeating a dungeon. His level was at thirty-three, and he had hopes of bringing it to forty in the near future. It was late on a Saturday night as he traversed the empty square. No one else was on this late/ early. Who else would be on at two anyway?
"This sucks." Janx lamented. "Where are all the players?" Janx said coming over the wooden bridge to the Chaos Gate. "I bet they're on another server, but some are closed right now." Janx said passing the Recorder Shop. "I bet there's someone over in Theta." Janx said enthusiastically as he approached the Chaos Gate. He soon is transferred over to the Theta server, and to the Highland town of Dun Loireag.
"No one here either?" Janx questioned upon seeing the quiet town. He ran all the way across the wooden planks to the Grunty Shop. He peered behind the mountain to spy a Wavemaster. "Perfect. A Wavemaster would sure come in handy." Janx began for the downcast Wavemaster with gray hair.
