ARCANA ONLINE


Chapter 1:A new world

A year has passed since the arrest of Sugou Noboyuki and the Alfheim Online disaster.

With the release of the world seed, countless Virtual MMORPGs have been created and among those games, the one that is currently the most popular among gamers is none other than 'Arcana Online'. Taking place in a world filled with magic, players must create clans and work together to defeat powerful monsters that roam the world of Arcana.

"Guess what's for lunch today Kirito.."

Kirito smelled the fragrant, yet familiar aroma coming from the kitchen. Soon after that, Asuna emerged from the kitchen with a plate of two delicious sandwiches.

"S-s-sandwich-san! I missed you so much!" Kirito exclaimed in delight.

"Hey! Don't just ignore me!"

Asuna face turned bright red but when her eyes met those of Kirito's, her frown dissapeared and they both burst into laughter. Life was cheerful and with each other around, they both needed nothing else.

An hour later...

"Crap! Asuna, hurry up or we are gonna be late for the meeting!"

"Be patient will you? I will be there once i download the map file!"

Kirito layed on his bed, staring at the nervegear beside him. All of a sudden, memories of SAO(Sword Art Online) and ALO(Alfheim Online) flashed through his mind. Kirito held the nervegear infront of him, and after a slight moment of hesitation, he put on the device and turned on the power.

"Link, start!"

"That's right. Virtual MMORPGs also have their own good points, right, Kayaba?"

The same old loading screen greeted Kirito. He then touched the imaginary button on the upper right of the menu, and soon, he was transported into an alternate dimension that was completely dark in colour. Lightning striked the ground around him and a gigantic, Wolf-like creature was battling an archmage right in front of his eyes.

The beast swiped its large menacing claws at the archmage, but the attack was deflected with a magical spell casted by him. All of a sudden, thousands of lights shone from all directions and the battle scene faded out to a huge Logo:'Arcana Online'.

"An intro scene? Well this is something new." Kirito was slightly mesmerized.

"Now proceeding to character creation. Please remain calm and keep your senses relaxed." said the system voice.

"Calibration complete. Character created. Would you like to use the name 'Kirito'?"

"Yes please." Kirito replied.

"Welcome to Arcana Online!" the computer voice echoed in Kirito's ears while he was being transported into the game.

All of a sudden, the ground caved in and a narrow, infinite spiral was formed. Kirito was then sucked into the spiral.

"Whooooooaa!"

Kirito landed on the ground with a loud "thud". He then opened his eyes and they immediately widened due to the majestic sight that was in front of him. Huge, gigantic purple trees, massive mountains and collosal clouds patrolling the sky. This was the perfect fictional fantasy world.

"Kirito! Hurry up!"

Kirito turned his head to where the voice was coming from and saw Asuna and Lyfa waving to him in the distance. He instintively started running towards them.A gust of strong, yet gentle wind blew past his face, making his black coat sway. This feeling, the wind, the trees, the magenta sunset, everything felt magical, and he loved it. With a wide smile on his face, Kirito ran towards the horizon where Asuna and Lyfa were waiting for him.

"So this is Arcana Online!"
