chapter 1- Ice Prince
"And Jack is the winner!" The announcer's voice stated in a loud tone that reached throughout the whole arena. A group of red pixels gathered, from no where, above Jacks dead opponent. Upon gathering, it formed a rectangle with bright white words that spelled out 'LOSER'. The same thing happened to jack the color was green and the white words spelled out 'WINNER'. The other players, that filled the stadium to the Tee, cheered loudly, running out to applaud and give their congrats to the famous, Ice Prince.
"Jack that was awesome!" People cried out. Jack smirked as he raised his hand poking the air, looking at his inventory and watching his gold count go up even more so. He flung his hand in an upward motion, dismissing the holographic window and thanking the fans. He rested his staff on his right shoulder, holding it there as his free hand dug deep into the pocket of his hoodie.
"It was nothing guys" He responded cockily. The guys laughed at his optimism and continued to share congrats and thanks.
"Did you hear? He did it again." a player mumbled to his friend as they walked through Vala city.
"Yeah, Yeah" The friend mumbled. "He is cool and all but I kind of want to see him get beat. I mean, its not anything new that he took down another opponent. People are becoming more stupid. Loosing all their gold to beat an unbeatable man." The guy scoffed.
"Well I guess it would be nice for someone to kill him. Man...You know how much gold that would be? How much gold he has from winning all those matches?" The first player said in 'awe' at the thought of possibly winning and collecting all the gold his loser has.
"Don't even think about it. It isn't worth it to try. For anyone to try. He is the only player in the game that has the Ice element. Not even water people could make their element cold enough to freeze and at that point, jack just freezes their water and their water becomes his to control now that it's ice so any water type is foolish to even try" The second player sighed and threw his hands behind his head, looking up at the blue sky. "Not even a fire type...We would need another Ice Master to take him down"
"Elsa! Come on please. It's summer vacation. You don't have to study at all so now you can play that game you promised you'd play with me!" Anna whined as she banged on Elsa's door. Elsa rolled her eyes and stood from her desk and approached the door, opening it and watching Anna's weightless body fall from the opening door, to the floor where she laid out flat. "Ellllsaaaa" She whined.
"Anna. I am not into Virtual reality" Elsa said, kneeling down beside her younger sister. "Besides, I DO have studying if I want to get into the college next year." She patted her sisters head and stood up, turning to walk away but stopped by the girl on the floor. She looked over her shoulder and at the girl lying behind her. "Aaaannaaa" Elsa grumbled. Anna looked up at her sister with a sweet smile and Elsa signed with defeat. "Okay, just for today okay anna?" Elsa said over Anna's cheering. She jumped up and dragged Elsa to her room where two helmets were already waiting for them. Upon entering the room, Elsa crossed her arms over her chest upon seeing the two headgear.
"I was hoping..." Anna smiled, taking one and offering it to her. Elsa smiled to her younger sister and with a shake of her head, she approached her sister and placed it over her head, lying on the bed beside her eager sibling. "Ready?" She asked.
"No" Elsa mumbled. Anna giggled
"ALRIGHT! Link. START!" Anna said.
Elsa's eyes widened but quickly shut as the bright white ray of light seemed to consume her. When she opened her eyes, she was alone in a dark room. She groaned and went to step forward and upon doing so a loud noise engulfed her. She covered her ears as it made a sound that started off quiet but grew louder till the black room changed, she watched as pixels of many colors gathered round her. and when it was complete she was on what seemed to be a Gazebo of some sort. A gazebo in the middle of a large blanket of white snow. She walked around the wooden floor of the Gazebo, looking down at the white railing, she went to touch it but before even setting a finger on it, the whole thing was now decorated with baby blue and white ice. Snow began falling and the sound the came in scared her.
"CONGRATULATIONS!" She jumped and held her chest, looking around for a face to match the voice of a female that was speaking to her. "Upon evaluating your mind, we have placed you as 'ICE MASTER' for your element. " Elsa tilted her head and her eyes widened for just a moment, remember what happened just seconds before the voice was heard. She looked at the railing of the gazebo, that was now covered in ice, and raised her hands, staring at them as the voice continued. "We understand that you logged on with another player that has selected for you to skip the tutorial portion of this game"
"That wasn't very smart Anna" Elsa mumbled.
"You can find me in Vala City if you have any questions. I am the main NPC of this game. To teleport, say the location you wish to go. So in this case, you will go to the starting point. Vala City. Enjoy the game~" and that was it, the voice was gone. Elsa stepped off the gazebo and looked around.
"That's it?" She sighed and looked up, closing her bright blue eyes she took a deep breath in before stating the command. "Vala City" Just then, her body disappeared into a million pixels and collected itself in the middle of Vala City. As they regenerated, Elsa's senses went haywire. What once was silent and peaceful back at the loading point, changed immediately. Loud chatter and distant conversations was heard. The smell of sweet, freshly baked rolls and the feel of a bright sun that warmed her whole body. When she opened her eyes it was as if she was thrown back in the medieval days. There was no cement, stone everything. Everyone wore odd clothing and armor. You can tell who was new and who wasn't. The players that were higher of level, they looked different from everyone else. Their armor and overall equipment was outstandingly presence and their overall presence made her light headed.
"ELSA!" Anna shouted. Elsa looked over her shoulder and gazed at her sister. Her face and overall figure was the same yet slightly different. Her hair was brown and her armor looked in pretty decent shape, her presence wasn't as strong but she could tell that Anna was of a much higher level than most of these other players. "Thats weird..." Anna said as she slowed her pace upon approaching her sister.
"What?"
"You...look the exact same as you do in real life. That isn't suppose to happen." Anna thought to herself upon staring at me. I looked down at my hands and overall figure and shrugged.
"A glitch?" I mumbled. Anna shrugged and hugged her sister
"I don't know but you're finally going to see how awesome this game is!" Anna said, taking her sisters hand. "We need to get you some stuff" She stepped back from Elsa and made pointless gestured in front of her, at nothing.
"Anna, why are you-" Before Elsa could finish, a screen popped up before her. She raised her hand towards the 'YES' button and taped it. A larger holographic screen appeared before her with a bunch of stuff filling the whole thing. "What is all this?" She looked down at the pile of cartoon pixelated like gold pieces in the corner right next to the button 'ACCEPT'
"Hit accept" Anna said.
"300k!" Elsa shouted, stepping back. "Are you insane?!" Anna laughed and clicked a few buttons on her side and then a second screen popped up, showing Elsa all of Anna's inventory, including the 2mil stashed in there. The same screen disappeared and Anna nodded to Elsa who still looked suspicious.
"Ill explain everything later, come on now" Anna said. Elsa sighed and hit 'ACCEPT '. The sound of coins falling into a metal bowl was heard only to her as she watched her gold count go up 300k.
"You're insane. How did you get so much?" Elsa asked.
"I told you i'll tell you later, come on" Anna took Elsa's hand and closed her eyes. "Boro Grounds, level 1" When they opened their eyes, they were suddenly in a large meadow with nothing but grass and flowers and a numerous amounts of tiny boar looking creatures with a health bar above their heads "Alright. Put all that stuff on, your armor will change color according to your element."
"we could've done it in the trade, there was a button that said 'EQUIP ALL'"
"Sometimes it isn't best to show your element right away to others, cause your new, depending on your element, it could get you killed and all your gold will be lost." Anna said.
"Why on the element?"
"Because...Fire players are known for causing trouble...of course" Anna mumbled. "That rumor wasn't even a mistake. The fire players made it so. It was like, intended. It's sick. They kill people just for fun, without even playing the game at all. They just go around killing everything. Everyone else tends to stay away or assassinate them" Anna closed her eyes as Elsa was equipped all her armor. Anna opened her eyes and they widened as she watched the grey armor turn baby blue and white. A different, unique design, forming according to Elsa's personality and style. "AH! You're water that's am-"She paused at the finished touch of Elsa's armor. A snowflake crest in the middle of her breast plate.
"Better than I expected" Elsa said, looking down at her new attire. Anna froze and spoke quietly.
"You're an Ice Master..." She whispered. Elsa looked up at her sister and at her tone and posture. She frowned nervously.
"Anna whats the matter?" Elsa whispered. Anna shook her head
"Nothing! Let's level you up!" She shouted. Elsa nodded and turned to a boar and with one swipe it died and she glowed blue
"LEVEL 2" a voice said over the innercom. Anna cursed to herself.
I forgot how fast Ice Masters level! No...why Ice? How could this even be? She's already going to draw attention with her white hair...If anyone finds out there's another Ice Master she's going to be bombarded with questions and offers and all that crap.
She paused her thoughts
Jack...Ah crap!
Anna nodded
"Okay. Here is what we are going to do. We aren't going to tell ANYONE or show anyone you have ice powers. Take all your armor off, put on your start up clothes." Anna said as she went through her friends list eagerly. Elsa nodded and removed her armor and put back on her regular clothing items. She took Elsa's. "Pushio kingdom" Elsa shut her eyes and when she opened them, they were in a new place. She wanted to look and explore but her sister anxiety is what got her attention even more so.
"Anna, what is the matter, why the fuss?" Elsa said.
"Shh" Anna demanded as she dragged her sister throughout the whispering town. "People are already starting to stare..." Anna mumbled. Elsa noticed it too and hung her head shyly. Upon arriving to a tiny shop, Anna dragged Elsa in and shut the door, followed by a lock.
"Hello~" an old man mumbled happily.
"Old man Yamo. I need to change my sisters element" Anna said eagerly. Yamo nodded and reached from under the counter and pulled out a dark wooden box. Upon opening it, they saw all the different engraved crests but Ice wasn't there. Elsa shook her head and turned to Anna.
"Why isn't Ice an option?" Elsa asked. Anna ignored her.
"Perfect. Pick which one" ANna said. Elsa stepped back.
"Anna, answer me" Elsa said. Anna growled and turned to the man.
"She will have air."
"No i wont, Anna answer my question. Whats going on?" The man and anna seemed to be ignoring her.
"60 Billion gold pieces" The man said with an innocent smile. That number caught Anna's and Elsa's attention. Anna slammed her hands on the counter in disbelief.
"WHY SO MUCH?" Anna asked.
"Changing your element is a serious thing. It is carefully picked for you by the head gear. It analyses your brain and going off that it decides which element suits you most. For the more angered and troubled souls, they get fire. For the carefree, happy souls, they get Earth, or Nature like you Anna" The old man closed the box and put it away after obviously noticing the girls didn't have that much gold.
"We will be back" Anna said, snatching Elsa's hand and dragging her out of the shop.
"Have a good day~" He laughed innocently. Anna growled as she paced through the middle of the shopping center where they were, in circles she paced and fought with herself as Elsa attempted to get more answers.
"Anna" She mumbled.
There's only one way to get that much gold in one sitting...
"Anna!" Elsa called.
Is it even possible?
"ANNA!" Just as Elsa screamed, the ground under them, the shop they just exited, and the nearby fountain all froze, covered with ice. The towns people blinked in disbelief and the noisy town was silent.
"Crap..." Anna mumbled.
