A darkened area begins to lit up as Toki began to awaken. Soon the visions of her bedroom began to fall into place. She yawned as she began to wander over to the computer to play "The World".
"What happened last night?" she said as she sat down in her chair trying to remember what had been going on the night before.The computer screen lighted up with an icon of "The World" floating in the center of it. She placed on her headset and clicked the icon entering the world.
---In the computer game "The World"---Toki appeared in a dungeon that she had stopped in the game last night. Still trying to awaken from her slumber, Toki entered the dungeon for some excitment.Walking deeper into it, she realized that no monsters were there to be seen.
"Whats going on?!",she said as her eyes shifted from side to side, paranoid of what may be there. "Who's there?!", she shouted down the cavern. There was no reply. Toki took a step back as someone approached her from behind as they held their blades across her neck. "what is this?", She asked as she held still to not be cut by the sword.
"The hunt isn't any fun if the prey knows what is happening.", the man's voice said as Toki dropped to the ground without anymore HP.
"That was too easy.", he mumbled as he gave her his member address and walked away.
---Back in the real world---"What the crap happened!?", Toki said. "Oh great. Now i have to start over!"
-In "The World"--- "Huh?" Toki said as she noticed the new member address. "Who's this?", She said as she mailed him.Toki sighed as she walked off and walked over to the nearest chaos gate. "What a creep that guy was!" Toki said as someone came from out of the chaos gate and collided with her. As she laid on the ground, Toki blinked and looked at the younger girl player. "Hey! You've gotta watch where you are going!", Toki snapped at the girl while she awaited her reply.The girl then got up onto her feet and lowered her hand to Toki to help her up. Toki took the younger girl's hand and got upon her feet as well.
"I didn't mean to run into you", the girl said looking down to the ground. "I wanted to get to my first dungeon adventure".Toki then watched the girl nearly have an anxiety attack.
"What are you still waiting around here for? You were in a rush...weren't you?"Toki asked.
"Well you see...I was wondering...will you join my party?" the young girl asked with wide hopful eyes.
Toki looked at her eyes, sighed, and replied with"Sure...I'll go with you. I sure could use some experience points! So, which dungeon was it that you were going to?"
"I was planning on going to Ojinaru." the young girl said.
"Ojinaru is a tough dungeon! Are you up for that? And what's your name anyway?" Toki questioned her raising an eyebrow.
"It is...?". A look of concern quickly sprouted on the girls face face, than quickly disappeared. "Yes, I'm up for it. And the name's Amalia."
Toki then responded while laughing, from Amalia's spunkiness. "I'm Toki." Toki said as she walked over to the chaos gate and waited for Amalia."Ojinaru is this way!" Toki said, shaking her head at Amalia's mistake.
"It is?" Amalia asked as an embarrassed look swiped across her face. "My mistake!" Amalia continued, as she followed behind Toki. 'Oh what it was like to be a newbie...' Toki thought to herself as she smiled.
"Chase!" Toki said as both her and Amalia teleported to the entrance outside of Orijuno.
---Dungeon ofOrijuno--- "Are you still up for it?" Toki asked looking to Amalia.
"uh huh!" Amalia replied excitedly, and began rushing into the dungeon.
"Hey! Wait up! You can't just rush in like that!" Toki yelled as she ran into the dungeon after Amalia.
Amalia giggles as she continues down the hallway with a smile across her face.She slows down her pace as she nears portal and looks at it oddly.She lifts her hand and reaches over to it.A castle guard appears from the portal and Amalia looks up at it in fear as it swings at her with its sword.
"Watch what you doing!"Toki yells as she jumps in front of Amalia and deflects the gaurd's attack with her heavy blade."Don't just stand there... do something!"Toki yells at Amalia.
"Uh..."Amalia looks through her items and pulls out a tarot card."Tarot of the moon!"she says as the guard is frozen in place."Now is our chance."Amalia says as she takes out her twin blades and goes after the monster.Toki smirks at the cleaverness of the newbie.
"Not bad"she mumbles under her breathe as she lunges toward the monster.
---amalia gains a level.Toki gains experiance points---.They wander deeper into the dungeon not seeing anymore monsters.Soon the two approach a door."Do we go in?"Toki questions Amalia.
"Whats beyond there."Amalia raises an eyebrow.
"The boss of this dungeon or if we are lucky just a treasure chest."Toki replies then checks her health seeing it low.Amalia looks at her health and sees she only lost a few hp from when she encountered the castle guard.Amalia looks to the ground, then to Toki and nods.
"Lets go."She says confidently opening the doors.Toki walks to the center of the new room and looks around.
"We got lucky this time."Toki states as she reaches to open the treasure chest.
"so what is it?"Amalia questions Toki.
"Well I have to open it first!"toki snaps at Amalia as she unhooks the lock and lifts the lid.They peer into the chest seeing two studded leather collars.
"What are these?"Amalia questions picking up one of them from the chest.
"They are clothing items for your avatar to wear,"she says as she picks up her's,"and these are rare clothing items too."she says smiling.
"These are rare?...What's so special about them?"she says with boredom in her voice.
"Because they are hard to find around the game."Toki says with slight irritation in her voice."Now let's go."she orders Amalia as she begins to exit Orijuno.Toki sighs Awaiting amalia to join her 'What is wrong with newbies today?'she thinks to herself as she hears a scream come from the room she was just in.She takes out her heavy blade and runs in the room."shes gone"toki says aloud searching for 've happened...to her"she says with fear in her voice.She looks around the room one more time not seeing amalia."...weird"she says as she exits the dungeon."I think I'm gonna log off."toki thinks aloud checking to see if anyone was there.She sighs when she does not see anyone and logs out.
---In the real world---Before Riley shut off the computer she noticed a new email.
Sender:anomynous,Subject:Welcome.It read as follows: Ah,I see you recieved my member adress.Well if you wish to know who I am you must wait.Be patcient i will come in contact with you once again.
"What is with this guy?"Riley thinks aloud as she shuts off the computer.
---In "The World"---A werewolf player-character enters the world in the center of Tofu Plaza."Ah it's good to be back."she says as she sees all of the people around."Too many people are here."larka says as she backs away into one of the alleys.She transforms into her wolf form and goes out the other side hoping to not attract much attention.
"hey, when did they program dogs into the world?"Pedro says as he spots Larka emerge from the alley.He runs over to he and knells down petting her."You are a cute dog you know that?"He says as he picks her up.Larka growls and bites into Pedro's arm in order to get free.Pedro drops Larka upon feeling her fangs digging into him and Larka runs off.He looks down at the marks in his arm."Nice meet you too.",he says wincing in pain after touching the wound.Pedro goes into the nearest shop and buys three potions in order to heal himself.He uses one of them to get back to full health then walks around the plaza to see if anything new is happening.
virus core of "The World"Amalia lies there motionless unaware of what had happened to her'Where am i...?What happened?'she thinks as her eyes open and she sees the darkened area."How do I get out of here?"she thinks aloud, but sees no way out.Amalia try to use her orcana to try and make it back to the rest of "The World", but it is of no use.
gracey appears before her giving off her own natural light and lit up the area."Who are you?"Amalia questions her.
"I am gracey."she reples as she sends Amalia back to the rest of "The World".
---Tofu Plaza---A slight scream is heard and gets louder by the moment.Pedro looks up to see what all of the noise is and the next thing he knows he has broken the fall of Amalia.
"Gracey...?"She says aloud as she looks down at Pedro who is dazed."I did it again."she says with slight worry in her voice.Amalia leans over to see if Pedro is alright.Pedro blinks a few times before he is aware of what is going on.He groans as he sits up and looks at Amalia.
"Where did you come from?"he asks Amalia.
"I dont really know where I came from."she says with her face slightly turning pink.
"What do you mean you don't know?"he questions trying to understand what she is talking about.
"I...was...I was in a place that doesn't exist."she says slightly confused herself.
"o...k...so who are you?...or do you not know that either"He asks her as he continues on his way around the plaza.
"Amalia's the name."she says smiling and following after him.
"I'm Pedro... nice to meet ya Amalia."he says with a smirk.
"I'm sorry about-"she says being cut off by him.
"It's fine, don't worry about it."he says looking up at the event board.
"What are you looking at?"she asks looking up at it as well.
"The event board...there should be a new side quest today."He says as the message shows up on it.
Sender:Megumi, Sebject: Christmas Event.In the spirit of Christmas we have a new side quest.Placed around the city of Tofu are mistletoes...get the jest? Well if not it's event!

"lets get started!"amalia says cheery as can be.
"but wait...we need a third person for our party."Pedro states looking to see if anyone was still without a party.
"oh i know just the person!"amalia says as she begins to write an email.
---in the real world---Riley makes her way over to the computer seeing her email icon active.She opens it seeing amalia's request for her to join them.
"alright"she thinks aloud as she enters the world
---"The World" Tofu Plaza---Toki looks around spotting amalia and pedro.
"Amalia!"she shouts as she rushes over to them.
"Yay we have a third member to our party now"Amalia says.
"so whats the event?"toki questions them.
"we need to collect the Mistletoe around the plaza...and we have to start right away we are already behind!"pedro says grabbing onto the girls arms and using a speed charm.
"hey! let go it will be quicker if we go in different directions!"toki says pulling free her arm and running in the opposite direction.
"She's right."Amalia says getting lose but ends up running into the river.Pedro and toki continue on with the event.Once the event was over the three met up back in the center of the plaza.Pedro laughs when he saw Amalia soaking wet.
