A/N: I've scaled up the size of the world so that it takes longer for adventurers to get from place to place. I just thought that an adventure lasting only a few hours would be a pretty boring high fantasy story. I've also taken some creative liberties with the spells and other abilities, but hey, its still RO. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own any rights to RO, but I call dibs on my original characters.

Ragnarok Resurrection
Prologue:
After Armageddon
A long time ago there was a war know as Ragnarok. Nobody remembers how it started, but humans, demons, and gods fought against each other in a maelstrom of blood, metal and magic. After the war a truce was signed and a barrier was created to separate the world of mortals and the worlds of the holy and the damned.
Over the next thousand years, in the mortal land of Midgard, the war was eventually forgotten. The more the memories of the war faded, the more humans pursued mastery of more powerful magic and unknowingly weakened the barrier between them and their ancient adversaries .
This pursuit of power marked the beginning of one of Midgard's greatest legends.

In a dusty, poorly lit room at the top of a tremendous tower there was a man in black robes looming over an iron coffin. He extended a hand with long, pale fingers and swept the dust from it. As he did so, the sound of footsteps echoed from behind the door on the other end of the room.
"I know you're here, Loli," the cloaked figure stated in a voice that sounded like a howling wind, "You may enter."
The door opened and a young girl with curly, blonde hair and a purple pair of overalls entered. She was followed by a cloud of bats and a black cat sat on top of her head. "Sire," she addressed the cloaked man, "We have located it in Niflheim. All is being made ready for you."
"Excellent!" the cloaked man cheered without turning to look at Loli, "Prepare my airship for travel."
The girl tilted her head and asked, "Sire, are you sure you want to do all this? After all, the orcs and kobolds are openly preparing to stop you and if the humans find out..."
"Humanity is never going to find out!" the cloaked man barked at her, "Even if they did it wouldn't matter. Not even the gods could stop me now."

Far away, in the walled city of Prontera, black clouds could be seen gathering on the horizon as a masked man approached the gate. The two guards on either side of the gate stepped in front of him and extended a hand to motion him to stop. "It's getting late, sir," one of the guards stated, "We'll need to see your papers before you enter the city."
Nodding, the masked man pulled a folded envelope out from behind him and handed it to the sentries. After opening it and skimming its contents briefly the guard handed the papers back and moved out of the traveler's way. "Everything appears to be in order," the guard stated, to which the masked man replied, "No. If everything were in order than they wouldn't have sent for me."
-_-
Who is this mysterious, cloaked man and what about the man in the mask?
What's in the coffin?
Since when does Loli Ruri do something besides kill every player in her path?
All will be revealed later, but we aren't that far yet.
The story will continue with the next chapter, entitled:
The White Knight.
See you there.
A/N: Yes, it was a very short chapter. I am holding its larger successors hostage. If you want to see them alive and well, you will submit a review. Constructive criticism is more than welcome. You already went through the trouble of reading my work so you might as well tell me what you think.
