I sat there, waiting for the Blademaster that said they were going to meet me here. I knew no one was actually going to meet me, People always said they would, but never did. I was used to it. After three years of being stuck in The World and no one even giving you a passing glance, you would get used to it, too. Although I got the occasional glance and annoyance about how I was able to edit my character with ears and a tail, and which event I got my wings from, but never more then that.

Typical humans, Only concerned about themselves...

I finally stood up from where I was sitting against the wall and started to walk away when I heard someone yelling from nearby. I turned to see the blademaster from earlier running tword me. I gave a shocked look, surprised that he would keep his word and come to meet me, and stared at him. His character was edited to be about five foot ten with short, messed up red hair, Bright yellow eyes, his sword at his side, and had gotten red feathery wings from a rare event.

"S..Sorry I'm late..." the boy gasped, out of breath running from were the portal had dropped him off. "My mom made me clean the house and I couldn't get on 'till now..."

"It's ok..." I said, my voice empty, "Why did you ask me to meet you here, and...who are you. Anyway?"

He looked at me and hit himself in the head with his palm, "Oh, jeez, how stupid! I didn't even introduce myself, did I? Sorry! My screen name is Aku Tomonori, But my friends all call me Tomo, and I asked you here to train with me! I saw you were at a high level, so I figured it would be nice if two high leveled players could get together and train... That's ok, right? I actually got this character from my older brother when he decided he didn't want to play anymore, so I'm actually still new at this..."

I stared at him, shocked. Was he... trying to befriend me? No, of course not...could he?

I shook it off and looked up. "Sure, why not?" I said, thinking, 'It's not like I have anything better to do...' I sighed and slung my lance over my shoulder. "So, are we going straight to the dungeon, or are we going to train on the field for a little bit?

He just looked at me with a confused look. Damn. He really is a newbie... I rolled my eyes and sighed, "Great, a n00b.."

He looked at me with a furrowed brow and said, "Hey, I may be new, but I know that wasn't a complement!"

I just looked at him like he was crazy and said, "NO, really? I thought it was! I'm sorry, next time I'll be nicer, I promise. Now are we going to go or not?"

Idiot, he's your first possible friend and you insult him. Don't call me an idiot. Your me, I can call you an idiot all I want! Shut up. Don't you tell me to shut up! You're me, right? I can tell you to shut up all I want!

I shook off my inner monologue and walked off into the direction of the dungeon.

"Hey!" Tomonori shouted, running after me.

After a couple minutes, We arrived at the dungeon.

"Wait..."he started, "This is a forest based field, right? Then isn't it supposed to be a temple type dungeon?"

"Yup."

"But... This is a body type dungeon..."

"Damn, this is your first virus infected area too? You really are a n00b, aren't you?"

I turned away from him and walked into the dungeon. I could hear him mumble behind me, 'Well, you're a nice one, aren't you?' as he followed me in. Tchh, if he thinks I couldn't hear him, then he really needs to learn more about The World. We entered the first room of the dungeon, and what I saw stopped me cold in my tracks...
