Ch. 1

Raguna POV

How many years has it been? I don't know. But everyone keeps saying that everything started back on my Great-Great grandfather's time. Maybe a bit over two-hundred years? I have no idea. My name is Raguna Strife and I'm part of the 4th generation of this place. "What is this place?" you may ask; well back in my Great-Great grandfather's day it was called the Village of Trampoli. But now, since it's about three times the space it had, everyone calls it Trampoli Metropolis due to the new Sky scrapers and the fact that some Sainte-Coquille family made their company headquarters here.

Anyway everyone says that I look just like my Great-Great grandfather and so I was named after him, but I really think it was my parents putting their names together; my dad's name is Ragna and my mom's name is Luna, I put two and two together and got 22...it makes sense. I am currently 15, almost 16 in fact, in about 4 days and what luck I have that is also the same day school starts…darn it…

"Hey son! Come over here." My father said to me from the living room while he turned the TV off.

"What is it dad? Anything you need me to take care off?" I asked since it's rare for my dad to simply call me out for a simple hi.

"Well, well as sharp as always aren't you? It really isn't much I was just wondering about something." He continued

"Well what is it?" I asked again

"Well your B-day is in exactly four days from right about now, and I remembered that videogame you really like that you said you wanted to get but was released on the 3rd day after your B-day." My father said again

"Where are you going with this dad?" I asked a little curious and excited to where it was going.

"Well I did some research and it turns out that right on the day of your B-day there will be a contest playing that game on a PVP tournament. The winner takes an early special edition of the game signed by everyone who worked on the game and many more goods." My dad once again informed and made another pause.

"And…?" I asked really anxious to hear what he was gonna say.

"Well I talked it over with your mom and after a lot of convincing; she agreed to let you into the tournament. She said "I'll allow it just because is his B-day but he still has to go to school that day"" My father finished his explaining.

"Alright!" I yelled when my dad gave me the punch-line of the topic. "That is so awesome!"

"Well I also did a little research and found out that they are gonna add a new mode on the game, not exactly a new mode in the game but more of a new way to play it, which by the way is going to be the tournament's play-mode." My dad started again "it's going to be a new full dive VR game, the system is called Linker, and it's a helmet or pair of glasses you put on that will send you…"

"They're gonna use Linker?" I interrupted

"Yeah! You've heard of it?" my dad asked a little surprised

"Dad, everyone is talking about it. I'm no exception. Linker is the First system that completely let's people go into the game and they feel everything that happens in the game." I explained

"It seems you already knew about Linker then. Well get more excited, the winner of the tournament doesn't just win the new game but also a Brand new set of Linker with all accessories and you can even Custom order it." My dad finished again.

"T-this…This is unreal. This is too awesome, thanks dad for giving me this chance. It is probably the best present ever…" I said "…next to the gift of life" I added feeling a chill down my spine as my mom glared at me from the kitchen.

"I'm Glad you like the present son, but I don't want you to get hurt ok. If whatever happens in this game really happens to you then it is really dangerous." My mom said this time "Also both of you get ready, lunch is almost ready." My mom added and my dad and I went to the dining table. As we were having dinner my parents started watching the news…

[And now we bring to you the most recent news. An Old set of Ruins name The Green Ruins over 100 years ago have been re-discovered after many natural disasters that blocked the entrance and restrained access to them. At first everyone thought they would make it a Tour area, but the fact that there are few monsters has made it a little too dangerous for that idea. But the place is opened for young people who seek some sort of challenge or exercise. So, get your weapon of choice and go if you wish to have some thrills young people.] The News caster said

'What!? That's it!' I thought to myself

"I can't believe they decided to open that as just some sort of attraction." My father said

"Didn't your grandfather say it was actually more dangerous that people gave the place credit? I can't believe them." My mother added

"Yeah my grandfather said he never made it to the so called Boss Gate. The only person ever to actually make it there and not just once but multiple times was Great Gramps Raguna." Dad said and then realization hit me.

I was named after my Great-Great Grandfather and I had a surprising quick learning ability for any type of weapon or activity, some even called me a genius. Also I manage to befriend a Silver Wolf, which is said to be one of the most ferocious monsters that although aren't very strong they always attack in groups and are very fast.

"Father, Mother, Would you please allow me to go there?" I asked them

"What are you crazy?!" My mother yelled terrified.

"Please, this would work for me as both a learning experience and also as training for the upcoming tournament." I countered

"You are not going! It was hard enough for me to let you go to the tournament." My mom yelled back

"I can take Kin with me. She'd help me." I said referring to my Silver Wolf.

"Raguna!" My father said seriously. He never called me by my name unless he meant Business. "Do you really want to go?" he asked again and I nodded yes "Then go. If you want to do something, then just do it. I'm not saying you can start doing drugs or anything like that, but if you want to take up on some activity or go somewhere then just go and don't even ask." My father said again and then stood up and walked out of the room. "Meet me in the back yard in ten minutes." He finished and left the room. My mother and I stayed silent then she started crying and a smile crawled onto her face.

"Go honey. Follow what your heart tells you to do and also what your mind thinks you should." My mother said and made a serene expression I had never seen on her face.

"Yes." I said and walked out of the house.

I walked to the backyard and started looking around looking for my dad, whom I couldn't find anywhere.

"Um…dad?" I asked a little loud.

"In here." My dad replied from inside the toolshed.

I walked into the tool shed and still didn't see my father. "Dad?" I asked again

"Just walk in here." He replied and then when I walked into the toolshed the door closed, the light turned on and I saw where my dad was. Underground. He was inside a secret compartment on the shed.

"What is this place?" I asked in awe

"We call this the Raguna Room." My dad said

"Sounds Original…" I said sarcastically and my dad slapped me on the back of the head.

"You will have respect of this place..." My father started in a serious tone "…this room was secretly built by your great-great grandfather or so has been told in our family. In here you will find some things that might help you on what you want and some that might prove a theory my father had when you were born."

"Gramps? Can I hear about it?"

"My father said, from point one that you were born, that you were Great Gramps' reincarnation. Everyone thought he was going crazy so he never talked to anyone about it again…at least, not openly. He only told a few people about his theory, one of them was me." My dad started "he explained to me how your great-great gramps was personality wise and the fact that he could pick up on anything as quickly as just a matter of seconds. That no matter what it was he did, it was like second nature to him. Weather it was farming or searching through dungeons, fishing or cooking. He could do anything." My dad finished

"And why do you all think I'm his reincarnation?" I asked

"Son. How would you hold that?" my father asked pointing at weird looking long sword.

"Well, is not how would I hold it but more what would I do with it?" I said and picked it up and split the long sword into two thinner and much lighter swords.

"How did you know it was a double blade? And also how to split it apart?" my dad asked a bit surprised but happy

"I…I didn't." I replied

"Also if I said, attack that monster, what's happens to the monster?" My dad asked

"Well I know they won't die they'll go to this place called the First Forest." I replied

"Do you know what the First Forest is?" my dad asked me again

"Well…yeah" I replied

"Did anyone ever told you about it?" my dad asked again

"No…"

"That is all knowledge that comes directly to you through an invisible connection to the pass…with your great-great grandfather." My dad said and smiled in my direction. "Do you know why you are named Raguna?" my father asked

"I was told that it was for my amazing similarities with great-great gramps but is it really true?" I asked shocked

"It is true son. Now go…conquer the green ruins just like your ancestor did. And take that sword, may it be the proof of your connection to great gramps Raguna." My dad said to me with a big smile on his face and the same serene expression my mother had.

I stood quiet for a second and then "Yes!" I yelled and ran out of the shed. "Come on Kin!" I said as I ran pass my Silver Wolf and the both of us went to the Green Ruins.

"Did you tell him everything?" Luna asked her husband

"There's no need. Just like dad said he is the one, he knows already." Ragna said and the two went into their house.
