Jayne kept her eyes fixed on the screen as thoughts of skills, potions and fat bouncy mushrooms filled her mind. She was a brave magician of level 14 in Maplestory and she was doing a quest on Bruce's research where she had to hunt 10 mushroom spores and 40 mushroom caps. An ice and lightning magician hopped up and summoned lightning on those poor innocent mushrooms. The drops fell neatly in a row for the magician to pick. The magician did a F3 face and slid off.
Jayne was an average girl of 14 where Maplestory was her second life. Maplestory was and is still a popular game among the young and old alike. It seemed like a normal day where the sky of Heneseys shone with an azure blue with dreamy clouds. The recently-addicted-to-Maplestory Jayne was sitting as usual in front of the computer, frantically slamming the keys.
Suddenly, Jayne's computer restarted. This was unusual as Jayne's computer was brand new and never encountered any problems. Jayne wondered if she'd downloaded any viruses through MSN or emails. If she did, she couldn't recall any.
When the computer finally showed the desktop screen, Jayne saw the horror. The desktop was completely blank except for a picture of a moving Grim Reaper. It wore a dark purple cloak. Its face was completely shadowed by its hood. It slowly raised the long, horrible scythe, and as quick as lightning, swung it down. Jayne felt a sudden emptiness as her soul was being sucked out bit by bit. Her eyelids drooped with each passing second. In exactly a minute, Jayne was completely unconscious.
Jayne's mind awoke before her eyes did. She felt different. She smelt the fresh dewdrops of grass and her hand felt the strangest sensation of soil. There was something on her head, like a hat or a headband; she also knew that she was wearing a sleeveless top and a long skirt.
Hazily, Jayne's eyes opened. The sudden brightness made her close them again almost immediately. She supported herself with her hands and strained to push herself up. It felt good to be on her own two feet again. She looked down at herself and at once knew what she was wearing. It was the costume of her maple character, purple arianne. On her head was a raggedy pointed hat with a dirty ribbon around it. She was holding a hardwood wand with a yellow tip. She wore a pair of yellow basic boots and work gloves. From the corner of her eye, she saw an orange mushroom was lumbering towards her. In a flash, two swipes of fury appeared. The mushroom bounced back with shock, then lumbered back with a significant look of fury on its face. Jayne jumped on top of two haystacks and started anxiously blowing strikes on it. It finally died, leaving a bronze coin and an orange mushroom cap.
Jayne suddenly realized where she was. She was in Maplestory! Somehow the scythe of the Grim Reaper had sent her into the depths of Maple. She wondered how she would survive, how she would ever get back home. As she thought, her shoulders went lower. Then, she brightened up. She had just defeated a monster, which was all about she had to do. Jayne, eyes lit with strength and determination, decided to carve out her own destiny in Maplestory, and hopefully find a way home one day.
