Which is probably a good thing.

Debrief
Ever since 2097, a new word had been added to the World Dictionary in their many different languages and iterations: DMMO-RPG.
DMMO-RPG stood for "Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game", a place where you could immerse yourself into the virtual world neurologically through cerebral connections and the necessary headgear to the internet - provided you could afford it - so that one could meet with many others. In these virtual worlds were near infinite chances, only increasing every year as the technology progressed.
In the 2120s and 30s, one game stood above the rest: YGGDRASIL. Composing of nine worlds and near infinite planets, the game's popularity soared in the area of Japan despite its disposition, only for the game to collapse twelve years after its release. It wasn't until the Developers of the game had escaped the current leaders of that time to make it to America, releasing their second game utilizing similar systems with added content called EDEN.
This game was released in 2144, six years after YGGDRASIL's server shutdown. Now, thirteen years after the release of EDEN, the game will be closing down to make headway for some of the newer games.
Chapter #1: "Nuevo Mundo"
(nothing special, just Spanish for "New World")
Location: Throne Room of Las Noches
Date: Sunday, 29 May, 2157
Time: 12:00:01 AM
POV: third, limited, Jacknyfe, aged 33 years
Jacknyfe opened his eyes to find himself remaining in the room of Las Noches rather than staring up at the gray ceiling it matched in feeling. He sighed briefly before muttering to himself. "I guess the devs took a lazy day - can't blame them, after all the crap thrown at them..."
He was a slumped figure in regal armor, bright red with golden accents down his entire body - forgoing gloves and a helmet that was normally of the full set. The Helmet and Gloves were not required to acquire the set bonus of the [ Crimson Angel Reliquary ]. It was the best he could get in terms of tenth tier gear that would accommodate the two massive wings extruding from his shoulder blades. The appendages were adorned in gold plate so as to accent the white feathers underneath.
He rubbed at his eyes to remove some of his fatigue. He had suddenly felt very tired. He had remained in contact with a majority of the allies that had joined the guild, and found that they were all busy, but were able to shoot off a few emails of farewell. They'd all planned, like many guilds promising online, a sort of convention to allow guilds to return to each other IRL, and he had agreed with them that it would be worth it.
He went through about twenty random classes, starting with a few inhumans before falling to the dull human choices. He finally landed on a Seraphim and founded a guild with five others in a similar situation, forming the guild Los Huecos.
They were all fans of the older animes, the first fifty years in fact. They were all interesting stories before the Anime Revolution as it was called in about 2030 when, in their opinion, the quality of the stories declined in exchange for monetary rewards. The mangas were decent, but the animes worse. They stuck to the first fifty years and Bleach was a prime example of the earlier, better shows.
To be fair, its story was questionable and reprehensible, but the concepts it offered could be smoothed over and used for an even greater story. A majority vote, when the guild was in its fifties in 100 Level Players, was issued and they decided that the Arrancars would be created as the NPCs. They just had to find a suitable location and took to the Antama Desert, which was similar to the Atacama Desert located in Chile IRL, other than the fact that the sand was white and marble trees made themselves at home there.
Other than the occasional daylight which contradicted the original story of Bleach, it was so similar a place to Hueco Mundo that the guild had to fight another for its territory. After three years of constant invasion by the lower players of Los Huecos, the fifth most powerful guild on the server, Kingsland, finally acquiesced in negotiations and ceded the territory to them in exchange for temporary monthly monetary tributes. Los Huecos agreed.
Eventually, they had built the castle Las Noches and created all of the original anime Arrancars, plus original characters, and absolutely refused to create Aizen. Tōsen and Gin were deliberated over in several council sessions, which were far and few between due to IRL scheduling, but it was ultimately decided that they should create them.
Jacknyfe was not in charge of their programming, but understood the meaning behind each piece in them. He was instead in charge of writing their stories into there, but not being fully into RP, didn't see much of a reason. Despite that, he still did so with determination. He added some fabricated stories in them to connect loose ends and to fix some problems. That, and for the Role Players to shut up about raising their Karma levels so that they were above Chaotic Neutral. In the end, due to Jacknyfe's own personal alignments, they were mostly Chaotic Good. All of the DnD players decided it was good enough and nodded in approval.
He then laid his head against the cold, powdery smelling table, closing his eyes as he rested himself on his crossed arms. He was currently too warm for his taste, but the marble felt good. And he meant good. "Am I dreaming?" he wondered. He was fairly certain EDEN didn't have a function like smell. Touch, yes, but not to this extent - whatever it was.
He blinked and scrunched up his eyes. He raised his head and looked forward at his NPCs to find a strange sight.
None of them were sitting like the base NPC AIs were supposed to. They were all sitting as if they were really sentient - as if all of them had been imported directly from the anime itself. He blinked in confusion.
He raised his hand up to access his menu, only it did not respond. He tapped the air twice more in increasing agitation, and he couldn't help but let a little growl out at the fact that the game wasn't responding.
"A bug?" he wondered.
"¿Su Alteza?" a woman's voice greeted him.
To his left appeared to be a young, human woman with golden locks and porcelain skin. She had blue eyes and wore a traditional maid's uniform, and she looked down on him in slight concern.
"Are you ill, ¿mi Alteza?"
"Spanish?" he thought to himself at first before mentally shaking his head. "No, no, no! First of all, that is not! a normal inquiry from EDEN! And B, Spanish? Really? I hated that class! ...at least I have the basics down, and luckily they mostly speak English. Thank God for translate buttons and a majorly English-speaking guild!"
"¿Sí?" he replied much, much more smoothly than he expected himself to. "Good! Good response!" he cheered inwardly.
"¿Es Su Alteza feeling well?" she questioned warily. "You appear fatigued, Mi Gran Rey."
"Great King?" he thought, unable to stop himself from scrunching his brows. "Is...is this from all that hard work writing that down?! No, this must be a dream!" He then mentally shrugged. "May as well play along. Words're already on my tongue anyway..."
"Yo soy," he replied in the affirmative to her question. "Would you mind getting a drink for mi, eh...?" he tilted his head, trying to get a name. To be honest, he doesn't even think they were assigned names other than numbers or something. The roleplayers implemented them using the guild systems rather than making personal NPCs.
"This one's name is Alicia, Mi Gran Rey," she curtsied. "This one is unworthy of Su Alteza's concern."
He waved her off immediately. "No matter," he smiled. "Now, about that drink..."
"I will bring some vino tinto as quickly as possible, Su Alteza," she curtsied once more before leaving the room. He then thought to himself briefly.
"I am this Highness?" he wondered. "I'm given much reverence from the NPCs of Las Noches based on me being one of the players who created them...which means," he realized something and narrowed his eyes. "I hope they don't start worshipping me...I think I set their stories as either Christian or undecided, but I don't want them to decide me to be their deity!"
He was a bit religious, and knew he sinned many times on Earth, but blasphemy certainly wasn't one of them, and he'd especially avoided the sin after joining a church. He may be a bit more loose than others, but he understood the basic ethics enough to know when something was wrong on one or more levels.
"Su Alteza," he was addressed with a smooth voice, and he turned to find Szayel Aporro Granz, originally the Octava Espada in Bleach, to his immediate right in one of the eleven ornate chairs. He, by decision of himself and the role players, was changed to the Octavo Guardián, and El Rey de las Ciencias when made as a NPC of Los Huecos. It was argued how to write his name, but the current one was decided by a majority vote.
The man wore similar colors to his old Espada uniform, but many of the members hadn't seen the Hell Verse movie and thus decided to use the former Espadas in their pre-Deicide Arc states. He wore a white lab coat over a black dress shirt and pants. He did not use the sleeves of the white garment and instead let them whip about dramatically when subject to winds.
He realized that he was sitting on ceremony and shook his head quickly before gesturing for him to begin. "Sorry, go ahead."
He put a hand on his chest, lowered his head and shut his eyes. "I do not deserve an apology from a Supreme Being," and before said being could refute him, he followed the second order. "As for my inquiry, I was going to refer to our orders. You originally gathered us here so that we may witness your departure, yet you remain here with us. What would you have us do?"
Jacknyfe looked at Szayel not with narrowed eyes but curious scrutiny, analyzing their current castle to the extents he knew.
He knew for a fact that the castle was not accurate to the original anime, or manga for that matter. They had built it to the best of their ability not to match but for proper defense to what the game allowed.
The inner city composed of the main palace, the inner sanctum of Las Noches, and it was surrounded by five smaller palaces arranged asymmetrically; they were occupied by the former Espadas from Cero to Cuatro.
Yammy Riyalgo's title was El Rey Enfurecido; he was the Cero Guardián and known as the Final Defense of Las Noches. His Palace was the Palacio de la Rabia (Palace of Rage) and was the closest to the inner sanctum. His job was to either be the last defense of the castle or to be the proverbial nuke on the battlefield as a Level 90 NPC with a dev-granted ability of suddenly jumping to paragon level 45 after maximizing his personal level. The raid passageways that opposing players would have to take would be through this room before any other. It laid past the Palacio de las Riquezas (Palace of the Riches).
At first, the guild had wondered whether the riches or themselves were more important, and declared it was both, leaving the two most powerful Arrancar in the most important palaces. Ulquiorra Cifer's title was El Rey Murciélago; he was the Cuatro Guardián and known as the Vault Guard of Las Noches. His occupation in the guild was the dungeonmaster of the Palace, where players can chose to press on to thieve away the money and other god level artifacts or to continue on and disband the entire guild. He was level 90 in that regard in his fully sealed form, and was much like Riyalgo in his specially granted release ability, which jumped him up to paragon level 15 after maximizing his personal level, and then his game equivalent to a "Segunda Etapa' was basically just paragon level 75 with specialized abilities. His Palace was surprisingly the furthest from the inner sanctum, and was off to the right if you were in the center facing outwards towards the Palace of Rage.
Tier Harribel's title was La Reina del Tiburon; she was the Tercera Guardián and known as the Personal Guard of Alteza. Her job was to be Jacknyfe's personal guard and was maximized at level 100, and paragon level 10 in her base sealed form. When released, she was capable of being within paragon level 80 to 90 depending on the algorithm he had set her for. Her Palace was the Palacio Endeudado (Indebted Palace) and was thirdmost from the inner sanctum in both distance and raid pathway. She had a secret passage that was prohibited to foreign players unless the guild was conquered or disbanded.
Barragan Luisenbarn's title was El Rey de los Generales; he was the Segundo Guardián and known as the Chief Forces Commander. He was the leader of the popup homunculi in the entire guildhouse, having been reduced to level 75 in exchange for the OP ability [ Respira ]. When originally looking over the requirements to make these NPCs as close to the anime as possible, the devs had to make exceptions in order to grant signature attacks. His palace was the Palacio del Comandante (Commander's Palace) and was second from the entrance to the inner city.
The shared titles of Coyote Starrk and Lilynette Gingerback was Los Monarcas Lobo; they were the Primero Guardiánes and known as the First Defenses of Las Noches. They were meant to either defend the inner city or be attack dogs. When outside of the inner city, their paragon levels were lowered from 90 to 80, lowering ten after the intermediate city and another set outside of the walls. Their Palace was the El Palacio Solitario (The Lonely Palace) and was the entrance into the inner city from the intermediate city.
The walls were shorter than the palaces and especially the inner sanctum itself, but were still incredibly tall. The intermediate city was split into four districts. But he was beginning to digress.
"I want the First, Second, Fourth, and Final Palaces on high alert," he began, turning towards Coyote Starrk and Lilynette Gingerback who perked up at his eyes. She was in the older man's lap. "Primero will have to remain awake for this."
"Yeah, yeah, I got it, Alteza Jacknyfe," the man waved him off boredly, and Jacknyfe raised a brow in curiosity. Especially when Lilynette decided to elbow the man into the stomach with enough strength for him to yelp and startle.
"Pay His Highness with respect, ¡Coyote!" she chastised him, slapping up back and forth in the face over and over again. He didn't protest in words, but in babbled expletive vowels.
"Gingerback," Jacknyfe said, catching her unawares and her face became red with embarrassment, eyes widened.
She immediately stood and bowed to him, "I am sorry, ¡Su Alteza!"
Jacknyfe immediately began to wave her off, leaning forward in concern. "Do-don't worry!" he stuttered. "It's completely fine! Just, please, do not harm him to the point of breaking him. We need him."
She nodded vigorously and bowed low. "Of course, Heika!"
He raised his brow again. "They can speak Japanese, too? Then again, Carapace was a bit of a Jap-nut, too."
She eventually lifted herself and returned to her seat when he turned to Barragan Luisenbarn. "Segundo, I need all Arrancar on duty to be on high alert as well. I'm leaving it up to you to position them correctly - and do not let your Death Aspect get you in over your head." He pointed at him now. "I want you and Aaroniero in constant contact when forces are deployed."
Both men that he had addressed stood at their own slow paces and bowed to him. "Sí, ¡Su Alteza!" they replied.
Aaroniero continued, "I am honored that His Highness has referred to me by my first name."
Aaroniero's voice was known for its constant switches between a male and female voice, but this had been undoubtedly a male behind the large, white helmet that he wore. The devs were generous in granting lore-friendly abilities exclusive to Los Huecos, so the guild used a normal purity dyed Arthurian helmet in lieu of asking them to design the anime's original mask. The remainder of his armor was mixed between Greek and Norse mythological deities, representing his greed for any hodgepodge of items, regardless of appearance. Barragan was a magic caster with little to no prowess in melee combat and someone who specialized in mage only items, but Aaroniero was more of a Melee Illusionist, who preferred to use illusion and transformation sequences thanks to his additional racial abilities.
Jacknyfe then realized that Aaroniero had spoken his gratitude of the name usage in comparison to the other Guardians. In reality, Jacknyfe just had a great difficulty pronouncing his last name, which had been Arruruerie. He was fairly certain that if he tried, it would come out Arrurrie, with him over pronouncing the rolled Rs and the vowels.
He ignored them until they sat and continued with his orders. "Cuarto, in addition to your orders to maintain a high alert status, I want an inventory check completed." The man wordlessly nodded in answer and Jacknyfe found the easily accepted order with appreciation. "Quinto, you will send your Fracción outside of Las Noches to secure our surroundings. All contact with intelligent life forms must be initially approached with peaceful intention unless they are hostile. Bring all hostiles to the prisons unconscious and as unharmed as possible."
"It'll be done," he nodded with a hint of irritation in his voice. He'll have to sate the little mantis to keep him loyal if there was a chance of rebellion. Jacknyfe narrowed his eyes a little but continued.
"Sexto, your forces are to remain undeployed from under the Segundo. You are going to include the secondary reserve forces with your own as the new Beta forces."
All the primary reserve forces were ranked in Greek titles, starting with Alpha, Beta - who had been destroyed in a player raid and hadn't been replaced since due to massive losses - Delta, Epsilon, Theta, Sigma, and Omega.
Alpha was the culmination of commanders of each of the other groups: Delta, who specialized in offense; Epsilon, who specialized in communications; Theta, who specialized in defense, Sigma, who specialized in black operations; and Omega, who specialized in all areas. Beta was the original spearhead group used for raids and were sometimes utilized as Guardians in high value areas in Las Noches that the specialized Guardians couldn't defend when in their highest order of defense.
The reserve forces are a hodgepodge group of original characters under the direction of the second former Tercera Espada: Nelliel tu Odelschwanck, otherwise known as La Reina de la Vacilación (The Hesitation Queen).
Grimmjow nodded, accepting the order with an ease Jacknyfe thought wasn't entirely possible. Then again, he'd written Grimmjow's developed behavior, along with the other Arrancar, through the final arcs of the manga with some fabricated realities to fully develop them - it might be coming along rather well.
"Septimo," he saw Zommari opened his eyes to gaze upon his High King, "you will gather your magician forces and obey the orders of the Segundo, with movement of yourself excluded as you will remain in your Tower to continue facilitating Gates - that being said, movement outside of the castle is prohibited."
Zommari Lareaux was the Gatekeeper - quite literally in terms of the transportation technique [ Gate ]. He was the head of the Tower of Webs, and he was known to harbor arachnid and insectoid Arrancar as his Fracciones.
The Gatekeeper nodded quietly and returned to shutting his eyes, simultaneously silently meditating and listening to the meeting.
The Towers were the equivalent to the Palaces from the inner city to the intermediate city districts. There was the Tower of Pestilence, which Aaroniero occupied. The Tower of Creation, which Grimmjow ironically used for wartimes, as he had a primary home in his district. The Power Tower, jokingly titled so for the rather quirky science division leader Szayel.
"Tercero," he turned towards his personal creation who turned to look at him in respect, "you will gather all of the Guardiánes and their top Fracciones in an hour and bring them to your Arena. That is where the Quinto's Fracción will relay the information gathered." She nodded.
"All of you, rise!" he shouted, and they obeyed the order quickly, standing at attention. Very unlike some of them with their prides, but he chalked it up to the meticulous settings and lore poured into them. "Carry out your orders with full intention to promote Las Noches!"
"¡Sí, Su Alteza!" they shouted in unison before quickly vacating the room as fast as their walking speed allowed them. Nnoitra was able to move ahead with ease with his long legs.
Soon, after a moment of exhaustion and slumping in his chair, Alicia had finally arrived with his desired beverage. It was a small, empty glass cup and a red wine bottle. He ignored the cup, took the bottle, thanked her, and left the room with an activation of the [ Ring of Los Huecos ], which was a guild building granted item that, upon creation of a guild building to complement the guild itself, allowed them to teleport freely in any given area that belongs to them. He fully intended to hand one to Szayel for reproduction of the item, given they have the materials.
He sighed as he walked ahead into the Coliseo del Endeudado (Colosseum of the Indebted) inside of the thirdmost palace, which belonged to the Tercera and her band of Tres Bestias. He stepped into the center of the arena, a bright sky above him that had been created by a player named Stonekill. It was a beautiful representation of an eternally daylit sky.
It was quiet and eerie, and the sand beneath him wasn't extremely hot, meaning that the creator of this palace, that being Melanhed, wasn't kidding when he said that he wanted the floor to be cooled because if this was a real situation, the sun would scorch the ground. "How ironic that it would finally be the case, eh, ya melon head?" he thought to himself with a smile in nostalgia. He then shook his head and lifted his voice.
"Hello?!" he began, stepping a few more times before coming to a final halt. "Are the Tres Bestias here?!"
