Inside Gabriel Park
It was bright, and hot. Kagami could hear the children laughing, and the sweet calls of their parents. Some of the children were accompanied by their guardians, meaning some of them were also playing L.I.F.E. Online. Speaking of guardians, Eden was currently having fun chasing a red butterfly.
Kagami smiled in amusement as Eden bumped into the butterfly, causing it to fly away. Eden pouted and flew to Kagami. He sat on his shoulders and crossed his arms.
"Having any fun?" Kagami asked as he ruffled Eden's hair using his Pointing Finger (Sky: I forgot)
"I was, but the butterfly flew away" Eden answered, he laid down on Kagami's shoulder and closed his eyes. Kagami stared at the little glowball before he turned to look around his surroundings.
The sounds were still clear, but they were much quieter now. Kagami enjoyed the silence very much, but at the same time, it was uncomfortable. Time seems to pass by, and two teenagers began to talk.
"So you changed your Class?" teen boy asked teen girl, teen girl nodded.
"I got tired of being a Mage, I always get Knock Out first so I changed my class into Fighter" teen girl said.
Kagami raised an eyebrow. Now that he have think about it, it's been 4 days since he became a LIFE player. And yet, he still to play it. Finally deciding what to do, he began to shake Eden gently.
"Eden, wake up" Kagami whispered to the glowball. Eden stirred but eventually woke up "I want to know how to play this L.I.F.E. Online"
With the name of the game, Eden was fully awake. Giving Kagami a thumbs up, he said "L.I.F.E. Online"
And everything went white

Entering L.I.F.E...
Kagami landed clumsily on his feet as he was greeted with the platform, he whirled around and was greeted by the sight of the same view like when the diamond shone. Eden came into his field of vision.
"This is L.I.F.E. Online, this is where your adventures are going to begin" Eden grinned as he tapped Kagami's forehead with his tail "So first, we gotta' find us a server not too crowded" Eden snapped his fingers and a screen with bunch of random names on it "Hm... ah, here we go. Gate of Apollo!"
As Eden clicked the name, they were transported.

Gate of Apollo
Kagami, for the second time, landed perfectly on a bunch of grasses. He looked around and saw a house not too far from him. As he looked closer, he could see a woman coming out from it. Eden knocked on his head to get his attention "Go talk to her"
"Why?" Kagami asked. He was sure he asked Eden if he could teach him to play the game, not talk to girls.
"She's an NPC, she's going to help you start"
"I thought you were going to teach me"
"It's better to follow instructions of the game first"
"If you say so"
Kagami walked towards the woman, as he was close, the woman greeted him "Hello. What is your Username?"
"Username?" Kagami said as he remembered that he had no username, so he made something up "I forgot"
Eden face palmed.
"It's easy, just say 'Character Profile' and it will show you your username" the woman instructed, Kagami was taken back that the woman didn't addressed him like he was stupid to forget his registered name.
"Character Profile" and poofed, a screen appeared. It clearly shows his Username, which was Red Tiger. And some other info that he saw from the beginning. Kagami turned to look at Eden questionably, and the reply he got was a shrug.
"Red Tiger" Kagami finally answered, the woman smiled.
"Then Red Tiger, welcome to LIFE. I am in charge of welcoming and explaining new players into the game. First of all, the game is like in the real world. You can interact with players as you wish, no battling, you can talk to NPCs, but not much will be exchanged. There are games which you can earn prizes from. You may also eat and drink any food and drinks from different shops. You can do side-quest to earn money, to purchase stuff from the shops. Events can be held at special occasions and you can get different kinds of stuff. But, there is a downside. Anytime and anywhere, there will be players requesting you for a battle. This game revolves around battling different players to earn Exp which will get you to a higher level. The higher you get, the more stronger you will be. Each player is selected with Elements and Classes. Depending on which Element you have, you may or may not have the advantage when facing an enemy. Being Knocked Out will not affect anything in your game, just simply have fun."
Kagami was sure that his head was going to explode, there were some parts that he didn't understand. But he didn't want to ask the woman again, she might repeat what she have said. His thoughts were interrupted when the woman pointed at some direction. Kagami followed the finger and jumped when he saw a town.
"I hope that you would enjoy playing the game" the woman said before she entered the house.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" without a word, Kagami grinned and ran to town.

Gate of Apollo, Central Town
The cheerful sounds of music entered his ears, it was beautiful and it was nothing compared to the music back in Fallen Island. Everywhere Kagami looked, he saw different kinds of players. Some were talking, some were eating, and some fighting over their crush.
"It's interesting, this game I mean" Kagami said, he was getting a little tired, so he decided to sit at a nearby bench. "So, how do I begin?"
"Starters, you should find someone around your Level to fight with. In order to get into Level 2, you need to have at least... 350 exp points to level up. Fighting in your level will earn you 10 points, a level higher than you will earn you 20 points, two times equals to 35, three times equals to 50" Eden explained.
"So what should I do if I am not in the middle of a battle yet?"
"You can do whatever you want, you could even meddle with your powers if you like. Play some game while you are at it, I don't care"
"I want to know about you Guardians. Just the simple stuff"
"Not much information about us Guardians. We can eat but we don't need to, we are required to sleep for at least 5 hours, we are not allowed to fight but we can if we have a valid reason to do so, when injured or going to sleep; we go to our Jewel or Gem forms, and if you must know; we do have feelings, that means we can fall in love and stuff"
"Why are you telling me the last part? Are you in love with someone?"
"N-No! Of course not, I mean, he's a prince and I am just a commoner"
..."So you do like someone, and a prince at that"
"Yeah, he's the Prince of my kind. But I'm just a someone, I mean... I'm just his people, a guy, not good at anything, and I am nothing compared to the girls he meets. The're pretty, smart, and you know"
"Does he know you or?"
"I met him by chance when I went to the Crescent Wishful Lake. I thought it was a perfect night to visit it, because it was a full moon that night, and when it's a full moon the lake actually shines. When I visited it, I actually bumped into him! Him, the prince himself, Leon. He tried to help me, but when he touched me, I ran. And I never saw him again" Eden was blushing mad when he stopped before continuing "Things started to get worse after that, he actually sent guards to find the mysterious guy that he met. So I was force to moved out of my home and into the wilderness, a friend of mine sent me a letter a week ago before you found me. She said that he is still looking for me. People actually tried to impersonate me, but Leon has a sharp sense"
"Then, how about this? Other than playing this game, how about I set myself a goal? A goal of helping you get to your Prince Charming back in your kingdom or something"
"Wait, no, I-"
"Then it's decided!"
"But, you have to be at Level 4 to enter Forestria"
"I'll work hard, get stronger, and fight a tons of opponents"
Before Eden could continue, a voice entered the scene "Kagami-kun!?"
Recognizing the voice, Kagami saw Riko waving at him. She was wearing her Seirin Uniform, and in her hand was some kind of Cannon. Riko practically ran up to him "What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing, coach." Kagami replied, Riko smirked and took a seat next to him.
"What do think it looks like, I'm playing the game"
"Oh, so what's your username?"
"Metal Mech, you?"
"Red Tiger, what level are you?"
"Level 3, I take it that this is your first time?"
"Yeah, and I was hoping if you could help me to get started"
"No worries, just let me do something... Player List"
A screen appeared as Riko finished what she have said, she tapped on it and began to scroll down until she clicked on something. Without warning, a sign appeared in front of Kagami.
Metal Mech wishes to battle.
ACCEPT or DENY?
"Click Accept and let's see what you are made of" Riko told him. Kagami nodded and clicked Accept.

Battlefield, Great Ground Canyon
Once Kagami's hand touched the word, they were teleported into some canyon. Kagami watched as different players appear after another.
"This is a battlefield, a basic-type. This is where you and I will fight, players from the server can come and watch us as we fight" Riko said, she turned on some switch and fired a light ball of energy at Kagami's position.
"Waaah!" Kagami quickly reacted and dodged the attack before he was destroyed, but he instantly noticed the burn from his pants. A bar appeared and some red liquid disappeared "What's this?"
"That my friend is your Hp bar, if you run out of that, then your defeated" Eden said, he floated around; completely ignoring Kagami at the moment.
"Well, how can I defeat her then?' Kagami asked as he yet dodged another attack and lose some Hp.
"Use your powers, you're a Manipulator whose element is Matter"
"How!?"
Kagami tripped and fell, his hands came in contact with the ground. His life flashed before his eyes as he saw the another ball of energy coming right at him. Accepting his defeat, he covered himself and waited... and waited... and waited. Slowly, he opened his eyes and saw a huge wall of ground shielding him.
"Wha-What happened?" Kagami stuttered.
"You seemed to have made that" Eden said as he snickered at Riko's reaction. Her mouth hang wide, but she recovered and recharged her Cannon. Seeing this, Eden said "Try to use your powers on her, now!"
Listening to what Eden said, Kagami closed his eyes and wished for the best. Concentrating, he lifted his hands and, opening his eyes, his eyes widen when he saw a floating boulder rock.
"Throw it" Kagami have no idea who screamed but that doesn't matter right now, he threw the boulder at Riko. Crushing her, causing her 1/4 of her Hp points. The boulder cracked into pieces, and in a second. Kagami was hit with a energy ball.
