(DISCLAIMER: Ok, I suppose I have to have one of these so none of you steal this from under my nose. All monsters and class types are owned by Gravity Inc., and the concept of Data as well as vagrant AI belong to Bandai (the ones who publish the dot.Hack series) as well as CyberConnect2, the developer. Kaos Tatsumaki Knight the Second, and all characters involved in the main plot all belong to me. Now that that's out of the way...)
Hello, and Good Day. This is a fanfic about Ragnarok Online pertaining to the life (and all the misfortunes that go with it) of Kaos Tatsumaki Knight the Second. Before I start, let me give you a glimpse into the world of Future Ragnarok...
-With the exception of those below level 40, the entire set of servers are now full PvP.
-Class skills are now in full effect and usable in towns (i.e.: Thieves can now steal from other players)
-New WoE Maps (Morroc, Juno, Einbroch, Amatsu, and Thanatos).
All of this was possible when Gravity Inc. agreed to work with the creators of dot.Hack, thus making the world of iRO even more immersive.
In the beginning, it was all just a game…but then it became something more, to all who were involved, and even those who weren't. I, of course, am referring to Ragnarok Online, one of the greatest online games in existence. At least…that is what it began as. In the months of the beta, a large number of reports were being sent to Gravity, the company that produced the game, saying that there was a hacker on the loose impersonating God-Poing, the head Game Master. When Gravity investigated, they found out the background information on the person behind the screen: he was a criminal that had recently escaped from the asylum and was now not only terrorizing Ragnarok, but the rest of the internet connected with it as well. As hard as God-Poing and her GM force tried, the imposter GOD-POING was obviously more powerful and was growing more powerful the more he hacked his way into the core system, until he reached the core program "Sirius" and claimed it as his own. Just then, the program started acting on it's own and transformed into a person…his name was Kaos Tatsumaki Knight the First, the older brother of God-Poing. Kaos was just as powerful as GOD-POING, so their battle went on for days without halt. On the 13th day, Kaos started to hack GOD-POING and steal his power for one final assault: the forbidden art of the Chaos Gate, a sealing spell that had different effects depending on the user of it. In this specific case, Kaos sealed GOD-POING in a hack-proof cage with no means of escaping, thereby ending the crisis known as the Beta Incident. In the months that followed, Kaos was regarded a hero, and was made an honorary GM for his skill and bravery. However, as time went on, Kaos grew more and more ominous, for he knew something bad was going to happen. So, under the presence of a malevolent wind and a blood red night, Kaos disappeared without leaving a trace…
Now, it has been almost 3 years since then. The old players have left because of real life issues, and the new players have all forgotten the myth of a legendary hero. All of these young, new, arrogant people are about to get a wakeup call from the last person anyone would expect….
"Where…am I…?"
He awoke to find himself in the midst of several Porings, one of which was licking his face. Quickly jumping up, he walked away from the strange scene with only one thing in mind…get back to Morroc. After all, it WAS his hometown, and he was in the middle of Prontera fields, so he had a long way to go. He tripped over a rock and almost hit the ground, but he lifted a finger and pushed himself up before he did so. His reflexes had caught the attention of the Thieves guild and they had hoped to recruit him, so that was another reason he had to go as quickly as possible in order to prevent any impression of him being unreliable…of course, this was before Kaos had to live up to his first name.
