Akira was silent in the car journey home, and when she did get home she went straight to her bedroom. She noticed the Game Over screen was still on. She clicked it off and the log-in page appeared. Her curiosity got the better of her here, she clicked the register button.

A soothing female voice could be heard through the headset speaker. "Please select a gender for you character." It said. Akira clicked the female button.

"Please select a class."

"Class…? What's that?" She whispered to herself. I want something to represent me… at first she clicked the Long Arm button. A picture of a current Long Arm player appeared on the screen as an example. "Stupid." Was Akira's first reaction.

Twin Blade - … "Geeky"

Heavy Axeman - "… … Okay…weird"

Blade Master - "What kinda stupid excuse for a weapon is that… it looks like a stick…" she said out loud, not realizing that her parents had both gone to bed.

Wave Master – "They heal! What! No way!"

Heavy Bade. The picture appeared just as it had done for all the other character options. "Now that's my kinda character." She said to herself, amazed at how impressive the character looked.

"Character appearance. Eyes."

The screen filled with hundreds if pairs of eyes, all staring at Akira. "Okay… that's not creepy…" she said she began to scroll through all the option she had. Those ones She thought to herself clicking a pair of red ones that seemed to stand out to her more than the others. The screen changed and hairstyles appeared. Long hair, short hair all different colours. Akira wanted something that looked like her hair, long and white, she clicked that but with the red eyes she had picked it reminded her of how she looked in the mirror of the hospital. In the corner of her eye she spotted a short white hair style with little bits of pink to add some colour. She clicked it. "Perfect." She mumbled. "It really suits her. I like it"

Next the computer asked her to chose her clothes. There were lots of different clothes; skirts, shorts, dresses, none of which were particularly appealing to Akira. She wanted here character to wear trousers. She noticed two designs at the very end of the options; they had a metal breast-plate and trousers that had thorns around the sides. "wow." She said clicking it. !I must have the best characters in the entire game." A smile lit Akira's face.

The next part of the character design was a colour scheme. Akira whined. "My character is perfect already…" Looking at her again she noticed one little tiny problem that could easily be fixed. "But then again… the colours could probably be a tiny bit darker…! She clicked the colour contrast button; she dimmed the red in the breast plate and the colours of the roses on the trousers. "Now that is perfect."

Akira had completely created hr character, everything about her character showed power, determination and strength but most of all Akira felt a connection with this character already. "Now all you need is a name." She said she looked around her room, she could hear the ticking if the clock, it was 2:30am, she had been working on this character or a few hours at least. She typed BLACKROSE she clicked the finished button. The computers voice came from the headset again. "Welcome to 'The World'. Character – BlackRose."

"I don't know what I have to do, but I will save Kazuhiro. Whatever dangers we go through. We're a team now BlackRose."
