DJ was sitting in his chair, waiting for the Maplestory servers to come back on. A new character was going to be released, so a huge patch was coming. "THAT ALSO MEANS 12 HOURS OF FREAKING MAINTENANCE!", DJ thought as he was thinking about the new character. The waiting was killing him, mentally mostly. When a new character comes out, of course he wants to play it. The patch came with many changes, including one for his favorite class: the Battle Mage. The revamp was hitting this patch. "WHY NEXON EUROPE?! WHY ARE WE AT LEAST 6 MONTHS BEHIND ON GMS?!", DJ thought.
He was scrolling through his YouTube feed, which most of the stuff in it was about video games, and suddenly a notification popped up. "Ah, adware! What the heck?! I haven't even downloaded stuff from shady sites! Let's just click this aw-. Wait, what is this? This isn't adware. This looks like a chatroom.", DJ thought as he looked at the notification.
Unknown: Hey, you seem interested in video games.
DJ: What? How do you know?
Unknown: Let's just say, I know everything about you… DJ.
DJ: How do you know my name?
Unknown: That's not important. What is important is the deal I want to propose to you.
DJ: Deal? Not interested.
Unknown: Oh, I know that you'll be interested in what I am going to propose to you.
DJ: …
Unknown: No resistance, eh? Heh, so predictable. Curiosity kills the cat. Anyways, I have a very interesting proposition for you. I can transport you to Maple World, so you can leave the life you always had and live the one you've always wanted. You'll be randomly be selected for one of the classes. There is one catch, if you do take this deal, you'll either have to defeat the Black Mage or die trying. If you do defeat the Black Mage, you'll be transported back to this world.
DJ: And what if I make friends in that world?
Unknown: There will be many allies you will meet, but only some will also come from this world. Oh, and they will not be able to tell you if they come from this world. You'll most likely not remember this world for as long as you are in the other one. By the way, don't worry about the people of this world who you care about. 1 year in the Maple World is the equivalent of 1 minute in this world. So, unless you either die or take way too long, nobody will notice you were gone.
DJ: Well, that's convenient. This way I don't have to skip school and explain myself when I've beaten the Black Mage.
Unknown: IF you defeat the Black Mage, since this will be the equivalent of the Reboot server on GMS.
DJ: Alright, a bit more challenge. I like it!
Unknown: ONE MORE THING! Every person from this world will remember something from the explanation, but it could be anything.
DJ: Heh, that can come in handy.
Unknown: Hehehe, you don't know how many people will take this opportunity, so what you might get is: "There is a catch" without knowing what the catch is.
DJ: So it might not be usable information. Keeps it interesting, I guess.
Unknown: So I only got one more thing to ask: will you go to the Maple World?
DJ read that last sentence and as he was finished, another pop-up came on the screen:
Will you go to the Maple World?
*[Yes] [No]
DJ smirked as he thought: "Well the good option is already highlighted!". He pressed the ENTER key on his keyboard and everything went black.
Hi guys! As a few may know, I had a previous small fanfic on here also about Maplestory. I deleted it, since I wasn't happy with how it turned out and that I felt the need to change things every so often. I'm giving it another go, but I'm honestly not sure about a lot of things. First off, I don't know what class to make DJ. Battle Mage would be the obvious one, as it is his favorite one, but there are a lot of classes that would fit DJ. I also kind of know how the other people who DJ is going to meet are going to look like and what classes they are, but that still makes it hard to decide for DJ. Anyways, hope you enjoyed. I'll try to post the first real chapter somewhere this week, but no promises.
