Yo, I'm going to work on 2/1 Princess as well.
So yea, this story will involve a delinquent named Rain who is actually very gentle at heart, who begins playing second life to get a new chance at life. Sadly, he logs in at the same time when Feng Lan does, and she requests to become a male, and begins playing as a female, while the GMs haven't logged in yet either, so the only GM online, Lolidragon, was too busy with Feng Lan for him. Feng Lan's decisions get reflected on Rain, and while Feng Lan becomes a boy named "Prince", Rain is forced to play as a girl named "Princess".
While Prince worked his ass off, Princess will have it pretty easy, as long as she isn't hunting Prince down or trying to beat the living hell out of him.
Prince has a cold image (as the Blood Elf) while in public but clumsy while training with friends, while Princess will act cold when training with friends while acting clumsy in public(which in my mind, is kind of cute in a girl.)
Like Prince, Princess will have a growing item, but it won't really be a weapon. In fact, because of its effect, she'll have to use MORE money on weapons than normal, while Prince used less.
Also, Prince was unprepared when he entered Second Life, but Princess will be fully prepared, having waited for the moment for a long time.
Lastly, Prince was surrounded by friends, while Princess will be alone, being scared by the fanboys and her shyness's combo effect.
Oh, and I need someone's help in choosing a nickname for Princess like how Prince is called the Blood Elf... I'm thinking something like Shy Fury, Shy Blade, Weapon Mistress, Twin Persona, Persona Blessing, Chara Change, etc.
As you probably noticed, Princess is kind of based off of the idea of Shugo Chara and a fusion of Hinata and Tenten from Naruto.
Pairings are: PrinceXPrincess, Feng LanXRain.
By the way, I made it so people can create their skills, because the game IS 99% realism, and the skills take up AT LEAST 1%, while stuff like inventory and that stuff does as well. I say it'd be more real if everyone could work the way they want. Also, in the novel, Lolidragon creates a skill that she uses to swim underground as if it was water… so yeah.
Now watch as Princess hunts down Prince, while Perfect Princess hunts down Princess for stealing the username she wanted.
Oh, and make sure to watch as I laugh at Rain's misfortune.
Rain: I'm based off of you, jackass!
Shut up Rain. You don't even know my REAL name.
Rain: you mean-
*punches Rain into the story*
DISCLAIMER: I do not own ½ Prince nor the characters. However, I DO own Rain. Speaking of which, I'd just like to point out that now that he is in the story, he is officially my bitch, along with everyone else in the story.
2/1 Princess
Ch.1: Log In
"Finally… I got it…" Rain, or as his name is translated in Korean, Bee, laughed as he sat in his room. He was a Korean male who was living alone, as a sort of a delinquent as he is known to many in his neighborhood. Not many know him very well, but that may be because he seems to be always angry. He beat up a few people in his life, but hey, he wasn't complaining… that much. Life wasn't perfect, and neither was he. He was terribly shy, so he always tries to hide it, but ends up acting like a total douche. However, when he is alone, he act the way he does normally, as a slightly feminine boy who liked to read romance novels and sing. Yet, he never got others to see him for his true self, because he was so shy.
But no longer would that problem occur.
Rain was going to move to China so that he could go to a university there, so he had learned Chinese… and thanks to it, he learned of a game that was going to come out, in which players would play with 99% realism, essentially making it somewhat of a second chance life, which ironically, was titled Second Life. So of course, he got the game that was making China go crazy.
This game, Second Life, would live up to its name. Rain would use this game to get a second chance at life, making friends and living the life he wished to have. He would become a Beast so that his face would be hidden, and then he'd become a mage or cleric so he could support others. Wait, no. By becoming a warrior, he would have more of a chance of making friends, since the game would be overpopulated with mages already without him. Either way, it would be great…
Unable to wait any longer, Rain took off his glasses, put on his headset, and dove into bed, so he could begin playing. So, as he slept, his mind went into the game world.
When Rain opened his eyes, he found himself in a world with checkered floors and skies, with a giant chair floating in the air. He looked around, before he checked the time. "Oh… I logged in too early. At this time, no GM would be online…"
It was then that everything went to hell. There was a flash of light, and Rain found himself in another place… the floor was checkered, but the sky was made up of a bunch of codes… However, he then recognized it. The checkered floor seemed to be glass-like, and he could see a girl talking to a GM. He pounded on the floor in hopes that they would hear or see him, but no such luck. It seemed that the floor was not transparent or translucent on the other side. He should have recognized it, since he was currently standing on the ceiling of the room he was in before.
Giving up on getting their attention, Rain began to listen in on their conversation. The girl asked to see herself as a beast and as a human, and an ox-type beast version of her and a copy of her in game-like armor appeared in front of her.
To Rain's surprise, an ox-type beast version and a copy of himself appeared next to him as well. The human version was pretty much the same, although he wore game-like armor. As for the beast version, it held a giant double-sided axe, and acted like he did in public… like a total jackass. Rain flinched, but luckily for him, they disappeared when the girl's copies did.
Strangely, the girl began to nag the GM into making her as a male character for some reason. After yelling at the GM, who the girl apparently thought was just an NPC; a male version of herself appeared in front of her, although the copy had white hair and red eyes where the girl had black for both. Again, a female version of Rain appeared in front of him as well, apparently also being unseen by the people below.
This character had long black hair going down to her waist, yellow eyes, with black and white armor on her body. Not to mention that her chest was pretty big as well. All in all, she was very beautiful; making Rain blush at the sight of her.
Suddenly, the girl downstairs requested to see her avatar as an elf. To Rain's shock and disgust, the avatar became an elf, sure, but he was NUDE. The copy was making strange poses as if to say "Bitch, I'm fabulous"; feathers falling around him as if to try and prove his point. However, something embarrassed him so much… the avatar looked like Rain, only with black hair and pointy ears.
Rain sighed and looked over to the side, where he saw his female avatar in the same situation. Quickly he covered his eyes so he wouldn't see her naked body. Although Rain did like women, he was too shy, not to mention that he doesn't want to be labeled as a pervert. Keeping his eyes covered, he continued to listen to the conversation taking place down below. The GM began to force her favorite ideas on the girl's avatar, after clothes appeared on him. So, he turned to his own avatar, which had opposites of everything that the GM was listing. All in all, his character pretty much looked the same, seeing as how the girl's avatar wasn't changed much from the default either.
Just then, he heard something that horrified him. The GM had made the girl's avatar be named "Prince"… of course, Rain checked above his own avatar's head, and sure enough, she was named "Princess".
Rain fell to his knees and cried out in anger, as he and his avatar Princess began to fuse. He glared at the girl and her avatar Prince, as he cried out in hate and disgust at the girl for ruining his second chance at life. "I SWEAR, PRINCE, THAT I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND DESTROY YOU!"
The moment Rain got up from the ground; he was in the Newbie Village, in the Central Continent. He was also now a SHE, for he was not "Princess". Princess scowled, once again mentally promising to kill Prince. (1)
However, she knew no way of tracking down Prince for now, so she decided that she would make the best of her new life, and try to become the strongest she could before she found out where Prince was. She rushed out of the village, noticing many men stare at her in lust. Princess frowned in disgust, but she ignored it so she could get training. She allowed her delinquent instincts take over as she reached the first Slime she saw, and gave it an uppercut, before coming down with an axe kick. Quickly she destroyed the thing, keep attacking the thing's eyes since she knew no other possible weak point that could be on the jelly-like monster.
Flesh Eating Slime has been defeated! Earned 25 EXP. A knife. A Pouch.
The game's systems spoke. Princess got annoyed by the tone of the sound, but she picked up the knife and pouch anyway, ignoring the sound form then on. She put her pouch at her side, and held her dagger in a reverse grip.
"System!" she yelled out, as her profile menu appeared. What she saw for her stats were the following.
Username: Princess

Princess nodded at this, and went to Options. She went to the Timer option, and set it so that she would log off when it became 8:50 AM, before she turned off the menu. Having been over with that, Princess rushed at a different Slime and slashed its eyes, before slashing its body multiple times. Again, the system's sound was heard.
*Ding!*
Princess learned a new ability: Swiftness!
Noticing another knife pop out from one of the Slimes she killed, Princess picked it up in her left hand, holding it in a reverse grip like the other one. Then, using both blades, she began to decimate the Slimes the way she used to when she played as Lass on Grand Chase as she continued to level up.
Princess became level 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7…
*Ding!*
Princess learned a new ability: Weapon Mistress!
Soon enough, she was level 10. Right away, once she got to the level she had to be to get a job, Princess headed to the Mage's Guild, since she overheard that the girl from before would become a Warrior. A warrior's weakness is magic, after all… However, once she got there, she looked for the entrance only to find around a hundred people in a line to get in.
First being unable to make a personal avatar while second was being turned into a girl. This was the third crisis of the day. Strike three, you're out.
Falling to her knees, Princess began to sniff while looking at the ground. "What am I supposed to do now? First that whole crisis and now this… this is just perfect. This is officially the worst day ever…"
Just then, a voice spoke up, giving her hope. "Hey, miss? If you want, you can budge in front of me…"
Princess looked up, and saw one of the men in the line smiling at her while blushing. Just then, another man, who was further up the line, spoke up too. "No! You should budge in front of me! I'm closer to the end!"
"I'm even further up ahead!"
"It's fine for you to budge in front of me!"
Princess, shocked at this, smiled softly with a blush of embarrassment on her face, making the men's blushes become an even deeper crimson. "Th-thank you… thank you all."
*Ding!*
Princess learned a new ability: Shyness!
'What the fuck?' Princess thought at what she just heard, but she didn't show any emotion caused by it. With the male player's help, Princess quickly reached the guild master, who was an old woman. "Excuse me, but I'd like to become a mage."
"Oh you do, huh?" The NPC questioned, before thinking for a bit. She then grinned, and spoke. "Alright, why not. I'll make you a mage."
"…what? Aren't I supposed to do some quest?" she asked in surprise.
"Are you kidding? The line for this place is huge, and I don't want to keep a young lady from using her time effectively. Not to mention that I don't want to stay here giving people the Mage class the whole day. Just never tell anyone to come here and you'll be fine." The old woman laughed, as Princess joined in by giggling. She thanked the old woman as her class changed to mage, and she left the guild with a smile on her face. Taking in a deep breath of air, she closed her eyes.
'Maybe playing like this won't be as bad as I thought…' Princess thought, before calling up her System page, where she moved to herskill screen. Having turned off the announcement sound, she didn't hear what skills she just got for becoming a mage, nor did she hear what weapon was given to her as the freebie that players got when they changed characters. Then, she looked through the screen that showed up in front of her face. She had to choose her main element and her secondary element from a large list of possibilities. Of course, still feeling that immense hate for Prince, she went for a strong offensive element, Fire. Now that she had her primary element, she had to choose her secondary element… being a mage, a naturally slow class, she chose Wind as a way to make her be able to escape from tight situations. Now what was left was making the spells that would fit for her… When working with skills, players were not just given skills, but rather recommendations. Players were allowed to invent their own spells, but that was quite difficult to do. Still, it was worth it.
Now that she had her elements chosen, she had to have a magic weapon like a wand or a staff to use her spells. Any job could use any weapon and any amount of weapons as long as they fit in the player's hands, but their skills would only work when used with weapons that matched their class. In her case, mages could not move while chanting a spell… So, without further ado, she looked in her pouch, and took out… a gem.
It was a pure white gem, with some kind of runes glowing on it.
Confused at what she got, Princess looked at the strange weapon's stats, only to be surprised by what she found.
Creator's Blessing
Weapon Level: 1
Weapon Type: Special
+10 Magic Attack
+10 Weapon Attack
Special Effect: When equipped, it will dissolve into the user's body until unequipped by going to the item screen. While equipped, the player will be able to use any skill no matter what weapon they have, including this item, and will be allowed to do so even while moving. However, unlike other weapons, there is no way to upgrade this item unless it is a growing item and it reaches the maximum level.
Princess gasped. This gem was a goldmine! It not only allowed the use of magic spells with any weapon, but it dissolved right into her body so nobody could steal it if she dropped it, and she would still have both hands free while she had it equipped, and she could move while doing so, removing one of the greatest weaknesses of mages. To make it all even greater, it was a GROWING ITEM, making it so it would level up and grow stronger along with her. Immediately she equipped it, and the gem seemed to just slide into her hand, although Princess had no idea how it wasn't poking out at the back of her hand. How she got such a blessing, she had no idea, but she guessed it was the game's way of apologizing to her for the trouble she went through. Smiling, Princess bought a lot of potions with the money she got from training before she moved towards an open field at the Wolves' Riverbanks.
Once she got there, she quickly began to experiment with creating a spell. Since she had to grow strong, fast, she decided to get a AOE spell, or an Area Of Effect spell first, so she got to work. Having already had the spell in her mind from playing various videogames in the past, she soon got the spell.
*Ding!*
Princess learned a new ability: Ifrit's Fury!
Hoping to see how strong the spell would be, Princess went into her Status Screen, and saw her stats as well as the spells she knew so far. Quickly she used up the 33 stat points she had saved up so far, before she moved on to her skills. First she saw the two abilities she got from training before she saw the three spells she got for choosing her elements, and then she gasped in joy at seeing her creation, her invention, her pride and joy.

100% Magic Damage per flame
10% Magic Damage per second while burned
800 MP
Princess smiled upon seeing the details of the spell she learned, though she didn't like how much MP the spell required for each casting, it was an AOE spell, so she knew it was worth it. All she had to do was recharge her MP every time she uses it, at least until she reaches a higher level. Seeing as how the spell would only level up if she used it frequently, she got to work. Grinning, Princess took out her knives and yelled out. "Ifrit's Fury!"
The sky turned red, as fire rained down from the sky, setting fire on the ground in the area as well as the wolves. Princess rushed forward and slashed wolves as they panicked due to the fire falling from the sky and/or burning them. Many died from the attacks from Princess, while even more died due to the flame.
Her level rose to level 11 by the time the spell ended, but she realized that she had to move on to another training area. Wolves were far too easy to kill already, and would not give that much exp when she got stronger. So, she decided to leave the training grounds once she reached somewhere around level 15. She went around, gathering everything that was scattered around the area, such as wolf fangs or wolf pelts, along with a few equipment and gold. Once she finished, she moved to another clearing, before she used the same combo again. To be honest, she couldn't have done it without using potions to regain her MP had she not leveled up, filling her HP and MP to the max.
*Ding!*
Ifrit's Fury leveled up to level 2, now deals 120% damage per flame, 12% damage per second while burned.
The process repeated itself a few times, Princess obtaining various items and weapons along the way. Leveling up got harder every time she leveled up, but it was worth it. To tell the truth, her AOE spell sometimes lured out an enraged Bear that got hit by the flames on accident, or was surprised by the sky turning red and fire raining from the sky. That was pretty lucky for Princess, since they gave very good experience points and loot.
Once she reached level 20, she began to head back to the city. Why hadn't she headed back once she became level 15? It was because she realized the presence of the Bears and the Wolf King boss mobs. So, she stayed and fought a bit longer.
However, the moment she stepped into the city, she froze. Heading towards the Warrior's Guild was Prince, although he was wearing a mask. Princess would never have noticed him had she not have been there when the character was made, and the fact that the character Prince looked almost exactly same as her real life persona, Rain. Gritting her teeth, Princess rushed towards the one who forced her to become a female, and was about to slash the one that still wasn't aware of her presence, had a message not appeared in front of her face.
System notice: Timer has rung. You will now be logged off.
"NO!" Princess screamed as she was forced to log off. Prince, having heard the quickly fading screams of protest, turned around and frowned, before he continued into the Warrior's Guild. Little did he know that he too would soon have to log off as well.
As Rain woke up, taking the game system off his head, he slammed his fist on the bed, frowning. "I was THIS CLOSE to killing that bastard/bitch! Now I don't have the time to log back in and search for the bastard/bitch! DAMMIT!"
After a few minutes, Rain finally cooled down and got ready for the day, before taking out his old Xbox 1080(3). He got out his games from the Assassin's Creed and Fable series, before going to look for his manga and manhwa. Once he found the ones like Naruto, Bleach, Mahou Sensei Negima, Yureka, and etcetera, he began to eat his breakfast while reading said manga. He would get some ideas to use from these… and he already knew a few he wanted to use…
To be continued…
So yea, there we go. That's the first chapter, and here are some things that you may want to know.
(1) While online, Rain will be known as Princess, but when online, he will be known as Rain. Same thing for Prince, who will be known as Xiao Lan.
(2) In the translation by PR, it would mean that either everything that happened to Prince took around 4 hours, from taking two hours of arguing with the GM as the character was being made, running from fangirls, asking for advice from an annoying NPC, getting to level 10, buying some crap from an annoying NPC, getting the necessary stuff required to become a warrior as well as getting to level 11 and waiting for the NPC at the Warrior's guild to quit yapping so he could get a job. I think it should be Prince waking up at morning. So I'll have him wake up at 9 AM.
(3) in the novel, Feng Xiao Lan, also known as Prince, uses her brother's PS13 to play a Street Fighter game. Since Playstations come out faster than Xbox, and PS3, the 3rd generation of the Playstation console, came out close to the time that the Xbox 360, the second console of the series came out, I made it so it would be Xbox 1080.
That's it for the explanations.
Anyway, as I was saying way up there somewhere, I need your opinion on what to call Princess, as they call Prince "Blood Elf". Some examples:
Shy Fury
Shy Blade
Weapon Mistress
Twin Persona
Persona Blessing
Chara Change
So yea, please review, subscribe, and whatnot. Also, please give me ideas for the names. Adios!
