So this happened, I regret nothing! Nexon owns maplestory and them sweet sweet ikemens, please don't sue me.
Being born as a reincarnated baby to a rich business tycoon of a father and a hyper beautiful supermodel of a mom really did have its perks sometimes. The negligence that came with it however could be swept under the carpet and forgotten about easily.
They really did try their best to be loving and doting parents but work always came first for them, family was never as important in their eyes.
If she had to say, she might even fit right in with the snobby rich brats of Ouran Academy. But here she was, living in the glitz and glamour of a certain otherworldly Seoul. Hey, at least she wasn't in Overwatch Seoul, though it would have been fun watching blow up enemies in her mecha.
Growing up in the same district as a certain psychic-powered super hero Kinesis really helped to seal the deal that she wasn't exactly in Kansas anymore. Or it might also have been the fact that she was offered a chance to enrol in Shinsoo International School by her parents, being taught by the White Mage would certainly have been quite the experience.
She became casual acquaintances with the two other children, inviting both to her lavish birthday parties and sometimes getting their other friend Jay as a tag along.
Deciding to enrol at the School for the Gifted in Seoul, Korea, and aiming to coast along, keeping her head low during her school years. Pretending to be a ditzy, carefree airheaded blond put you out of target for potential bullies, as being born attractive slapped quite the bright neon target on your head.
Watching Yuna, the student president drag Kinesis along the classrooms by the ear as he complained loudly about it on a daily basis was entertainment enough.
But she knew what her end goal in this life was. To be able to meet with the suave and ever charming Phantom, even if just for a moment. And she knew just what she had to do in order to accomplish her self-imposed mission.
Throwing herself headfirst into drama and acting classes, she aimed to become one of Korea's leading actresses. A young starlet legend quickly emerged as she juggled her grades and furthering her career.
When news of a large sinkhole appearing in the bustling streets of Seoul and Kinesis stopped regularly attending classes alongside student president Yuna, she braced herself for the best night of her life.
Getting that open invite to Dr Lim's museum exhibition was easily obtained. So she threw her fanciest mink fur shawl across her shoulders and adjusting her sparkling red cocktail dress slightly, scanning the crowded room for general activity.
And then finally the real star of the show appeared, she could hardly hold back a squeal, instead opting to sip at her flute of champagne. She had stationed herself near the door in hopes of catching a glimpse of the elusive playboy and now here he was in flesh and blood.
"Oh I heard the Dr Lim was going to showcase some new exhibit here at this museum! What an honour to be able to witness this!" She tittered lightly, sipping some more of her champagne.
Decked out in an expensive looking tuxedo, royal blue scarf tossed casually around his shoulders and pinned to the breast pocket was a couple of feathers, she could understand why Aria managed to get her heart stolen by this particular individual. His amethyst eyes met hers and she couldn't help but blurt out, "Hey could I get your number? Or even just a selfie?"
His head tilted slightly in confusion. "Selfie? What's that?"
She whipped out her phone instantly, swiping open the camera function and pointed at their faces currently being shown on screen.
He nodded his head in bemusement, and his smile could've melted butter, as she gestured to look at the camera on her phone before tapping the screen again to make this moment an eternal one.
Then he was off again, chatting politely with the other attendees. After a while, he disappeared into the other section of the museum and she started to explore too.
Meeting a journalist for M Journal, they exchanged pleasantries and she even took a photo of her, "Wow! I heard you were quite an awesome actress, it's a pleasure to be able to meet you in person!" She smiled and dipped her head in embarrassment, waving off her praises.
Then, Dr Lim went up the stage to give a short speech about the new material he had discovered, flashing images of various ancient artefacts before the final slide showed the mysterious substance that had been found due to the sinkhole.
There were audible gasps at how amazing these discoveries were before everyone burst into applause as Dr Lim nervously smiled and bowed before stepping off the stage.
Now for Act 2 of this little phase, watching Phantom slyly disappear into the drinks room, she trailed slowly behind him, probably startling him when she shouted, "Hey handsome! Where are you going?"
Pretending she definitely did not see his bright head of blond hair just peeking out from under the cocktail bar, biting back a grin and stifled laughs, her stiletto heels clacked onwards back into the other room.
All according to Keikaku. Which meant plan in Japanese. She was a meme lover at heart you know.
Going by the plot line, the blackout should happen... Right... About... Now!
The museum and its precious exhibits were enveloped in darkness surrounded by confused screams and glass shattering.
Amidst the confusion and chaos, she spotted two figures slinking stealthily past security to unlock the door to where the Transcendence Stone was located.
Now for Phase 3. Jogging quickly before the security doors closed again, she tugged Dr Lim along with her, putting a finger to her lips as the emergency lights kicked in to stop his startled yelps.
"Hi again handsome!" She winked saucily, waving her fingers carelessly as the now trio got caught in the act.
Getting twin crossbows pointed right at her face was an experience she would gladly never have to encounter again as she smiled before letting out an ear-piercing screech, Dr Lim following suit, examining loudly about terrorists trying to steal a precious exhibit. She could hear the two males arguing with the other very attractive blonde about how weapons were completely unnecessary.
Now picking up the pace, she dashed out the museum with the throngs of visitors, wide-eyed as bolts of light, arrows, and cards were strewn out of the newly opened museum. Magic was a sight to behold.
"I heard you were the one responsible for reporting this terrorist threat? Could you please provide your eye witness account?" The police and journalists clamoured for her attention as she did her best to give a shaken and frightened look.
"Yes! It was horrible! I was threatened by some madwoman who attended the exhibition!" Clutching the blanket thrown around her shoulders for comfort, adrenaline wearing off already, she spotted the giant Abraxas jetting off in the sky.
So. Totally. Worth. It.
Phantom couldn't help but wonder if that woman who had pestered him before knew more than she let on. The suspicious twinkle in her eye was highly disturbing.
But that was in the past, and it was time to face Damien before everything was consumed by Chaos and all worlds were overwhelmed.
So the Black Mage has been defeated, level cap's been increased again and I'm considering if its worth selling my kidney to buy some level 200 equips for a game.
I hope you enjoyed this crazy fic, it was pretty fun to throw an OC into an existing minor character.
Let me know your thoughts if there's anything to be improved. Peace out!
