A/N: Greetings fellow fans, my name is king of ancient scholars. Though I have written fanfiction before, this will be my first one for this account. This will be an AU Fairy-Tail fanfic, which I will try to update regularly, but my school schedule is kind of crazy, so I will update whenever I can. Okay, in my opinion there aren't enough characters to make a good summary, so let me lay down the plot of this story. Natsu Domen and all other people around the world become addicted to this new multi-online player game called Magic Unbound. In this game you can create a character that looks exactly like you, and become a wizard of any type of magic you choose. As a wizard you can join a guild and meet other players and go on missions and adventures with them. Natsu gets very lucky when he creates his avatar, and becomes one of only a handful of people that becomes a special type of wizard, a Dragon Slayer. Through the game Natsu meets new friends and new rivals, in a quest to finish the game by becoming the most powerful wizard of all. However, this game is more than what it appears to be.
Here are some ground rules to remember when reading this-
Before anyone says anything this is not like Sword Art Online, even though that is one of my favorite animes.
This follows a completely different premise than the Fairy-Tail anime and manga.
Nobody knows anybody officially in the game, and by that I mean face-to-face.
The stories that each one of the characters has about their lives shown in the manga and anime are made-up by the game.
If I do decide to add pairings I'm going to add drama in the mix, such as love triangles and all that mess.
Okay now that all that's out of the way, pleas enjoy the show!
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy-Tail, I am not that creative.
Chapter One: Logging on
A boy was alone in his room, sitting at his computer. The boy in question had tan skin, onyx-colored eyes, and salmon-colored hair; he wore a red T-shirt and gray sweatpants. This boy's name was Natsu Domen, a seventeen year old resident of small apartment structure in the Shibuya district of Tokyo. He lived by himself and mostly kept quiet when it came to others, and one of his favorite things to do was to surf the internet. Right now he was talking in a chatroom with several other people; he mindlessly stared at the computer screen, wondering what he should type, he looked over the comments made so far.
Ghostguest: I'm so excited for the big unveiling of Magic Unbound tonight.
Terratrip: Yeah me too, and I heard that there's a special prize that's going to be given out to seven lucky people who sign up within the first five minutes.
Ghostguest: Oh yeah I heard about that too, I think it's just a rumor that was spread by the beta testers though, what do you think Dragneel?
Natsu continued to stare at the screen, unsure of what to type. The discussion in the chatroom was about one of the biggest and most anticipated MORPG's in the world, Magic Unbound, release to the public. Natsu then sighed and then smiled, as he began typing his response.
Dragneel: I don't know if the rumor's true or not, either way I'm still going to sign up within five minutes of release just for the sake of playing.
Terratrip: I hear that Dragneel, but wouldn't it be cool if the rumor were true, what do you think the prize would be.
Ghostguest: It's probably an exclusive type of magic or something.
Dragneel: But I thought the magic index of the game was supposed to be limitless.
Terratrip: That's actually not true; I heard that the creators didn't put any dark magic in the game.
Dragneel: Dark magic?
Ghost guest: You know its magic that involves things like raising the dead and immortality, and stuff like that.
Dragneel: Weird.
Terratrip: So speaking of magic, what magic are the two of you going to get?
Ghostguest: Not sure yet, maybe light magic or something.
Terratrip: Cool, I think I might get some kind of animal magic, what about you Dragneel?
Dragneel: Fire magic, hands down.
Ghostguest: Of course that's what it would be for you, you pyro.
Dragneel: I'm not a pyro, I just like fire, somehow to me it seems kind of beautiful; and then there's the fact that you can easily torch any of your enemies.
Terratrip: LOL.
Ghostguest: Hey let's make a pact, if anyone of the three of us finds each other, let's join forces in the game.
Dragneel: Sounds good to me.
Terratrip: I'm in too, well I'm signing off now guys 'cause I want to take a shower and get something to eat before the endless hours of gaming; later Ghostguest, seeyah next time Dragneel ;).
Terratrip has signed off.
Ghostguest: Heh, heh, heh, dude did you see that she winked at you, somebody likes you.
Dragneel: Knock it off.
Ghostguest: Hey maybe you should get to know Terratrip better; she seems like a nice girl.
Dragneel: I don't think I'm ready for a relationship, I mean one of the reasons I get on here is because I'm not good at socializing with others, I mean I've only known you two a couple of months.
Ghostguest: Well hey if we meet each other in Magic Unbound, it'll be like we're hanging out for real, since our avatars are programmed to look just like how we do in real life, and then maybe you can cuddle up with Terratrip or something.
Dragneel: I told you to knock it off.
Ghostguest: Alright seriously, see you later man.
Dragneel: You too dude.
Ghostguest and Dragneel have signed off.
Natsu looked up from his computer and smiled, "Those two are great; I really wish I could meet them in real life though," he said to himself. Then Natsu pulled up the Magic Unbound page, and saw the timer on the front, "Only one more hour," he said noting the time until he could play. Natsu then heard his stomach grumble, "I guess I should get something to eat now, and something with caffeine too, it's going to be a long night, good thing today's Friday." Natsu got up from his computer and went to his kitchen to fix something for dinner.
When the waiting was finally done, and the hour had passed, it was now 8:00. Having eaten and gotten some soda, Natsu got back online and saw that the timer was officially done. The timer clock was then replaced with a button that said, Sign Up; with light-speed he raced through all the personal information stuff, and selected a username and password for himself. He then made his way to the avatar creation process; he read the instructions on how it worked, and then following said instructions he turned on his webcam and put it into picture mode. He took a single picture of himself and sent it to the website; a few seconds later his avatar, which looked exactly like him appeared.
Natsu then brought his avatar to the clothes section and picked out the clothes that he would wear. Natsu chose a black sleeveless vest with gold trimmings, which he had open to show off his abs; he also chose a pair of white baggy pants, black sandals, and a plaid scarf, which was different shades of green. He then picked out his character's name; the instruction said that he could keep his first name but had to choose a completely different last name. Natsu thought about it until it came to him, he then typed into the box, Natsu Dragneel.
The next phase was where you chose your avatar's type of magic, but when Natsu got to that page a little window popped up. It read: Congratulations! You are one of the seven lucky people who have been given a special magic, a magic that allows characters to slay dragons, Dragon Slaying magic. You may choose which of the seven types you would like as your Dragon Slaying magic. Natsu gasped, "The rumor was true! I'm one of the lucky seven, and the special magic has to do with dragons, awesome!" Natsu then looked over the choices for magic; they were, fire, iron, sky, lightning, poison, white, and shadow. Natsu immediately chose fire, and he was brought to the next page.
The next page gave the character their own story. Natsu looked over the instruction and saw that the game automatically creates a story for the character based on their appearance and magic; Natsu looked down at his story.
Natsu Dragneel:
Was found and raised when he was a little boy by the great Fire Dragon, Igneel. Igneel taught him things about the world and how to use Fire Dragon Slaying magic. Natsu thought of Igneel as his father and was very happy with him, until one day seven years ago when Igneel disappeared, leaving Natsu alone in the world.
Natsu looked over the story, "Man I had a sad life," then he frowned, "Kind of like the life I have now." Then Natsu smiled, "Oh well, that ends today, no more sadness from here on out for either of us." Then Natsu looked down at the rest of the page, and found some important print at the bottom, next to a yes or no box; he read this carefully.
While playing Magic Unbound, the story made for you is your life, no discussing the outside world, this will be punishable by expulsion from the game! If you wish to proceed knowing this click yes, if not click no.
"That's a strange rule, but I want to play," said Natsu as he clicked yes. Then another window popped up on the screen. It read: Enjoy the game. Then all of a sudden a red light came out of the webcam, Natsu stared at the red light until he felt dizzy. Then before he knew it, the world had gone white.
A/N: Okay the prologue is out of the way, next chapter will hopefully be up soon, until then please read and review, see you next time.
