Hey guys! I think it is time for another chapter of Thorn's Legacy. The team and I have been talking about ideas for the chapter and we have the basic plot and points for the chapter, I just have to turn it into a chapter for the story haha. I have the best and the worst job of the team but it's my story so I guess it is my fault. School starts in 15 days so we will see if I can update as often as I have been. Please please please review and comment on the story! I don't write it for nothing! To those who have reviewed, thanks a lot; you're the best! Well I guess that's all I have to say for now. I hope you guys enjoy the chapter so here it is!

Ch. 4

(This time in London, England)

I don't know what all the fuss was about. The daft arseholes at BBC News has been parading and shouting about how the new VRMMORPG, Gun Gale Online, is an ace in the hole. What is so great about that game anyways? It's only available in America and Japan. Can I just say that the United Kingdom basically formed the United States so I feel we, as Britons, should be able to play the game as well! But no! Bloody yankee cheapskates and their policies! Why was I watching the news again? I hate news and everything about it.

"Fucking wankers…"

I muttered as I turned the Tv off. Let me just talk about myself for a minute before I do anything else. My friends say I'm self-centered; in my own way anyways. Well….Not that self-centered but I sometimes act like a bitch haha. Anyway, My name is Erin Renshaw. I'm kind of short for my age. I'm like 5'2 or 5'3, and it pisses me off that most of the other students in my Freshman class are a lot taller than me. Although, for what I lack in height, I make up for in physical and mental ability. I am the top of my class because I'm just bloody great! I also play on the Horseback-riding and Tennis team. Not to brag or anything, but we're the best.

"Gun Gale Online is the best game we have ever played! In America! Hahahaha,too bad it isn't available in England! These sorry chaps wish they had it but they don't and you know what? They should just check their computers for more updates of new games they can't play yet!"

I glared at the Tv and turned it off again.

"I thought I fucking turned you off!"

I screamed.

"Erin! Watch your bloody fucking mouth!"

Dad yelled from the other room. He probably went to the pub with the guys and came back bladdered. He always did that but he was pretty tame while drunk. ANYWAYS, more about me. I have chocolate-colored hair that flows down to my shoulders in the beautiful style of curve. My eyes are a light brown, like my hair, but lighten even more when the light shines upon them. *Sigh*….To be honest, I think about my looks way too much because I'm self-conscious. But who isn't!? Coming out of my introductory thoughts, I flipped open my laptop and checked my Facebook. I spent about half my life at school and the other half online. I was usually on social media or playing games. I really fancied MMORPGs though. That is why I hate having to hear about this VRMMORPG business. Yes, I tried to order the damn game from America, but for some God-awful reason, the game IS DESIGNED to be American or Japanese! What the hell does that mean you ask!? Well when you get the game, it immediately asks for your game account on the Amusphere. Doesn't sound so bad right? Well I put my British account in and it blocked me before saying,

Account is not permitted by game or it's moderators. Please retry again at a better time.

So then I checked online about it and it told me that the game only accepts American and Japanese accounts! Don't ask me why...Maybe the game makers just don't think Europe is ready for it. Pshh…..F-ing mental!

"Blimey! You have 10 unread e-mails!"

My email screamed at me in it's monotone Queen Elizabeth-like voice. I rolled my eyes as I looked at them. I've been so busy that I haven't been able to check it at all in the last couple of weeks. Spam….Spam….Spam….Invitation for Beta testing…..Whoa hold on! I went back to the invitation and read over it.

Bloody hell! I think I just found something actually interesting mates!

(Nearly 293 miles away in Paris, France)

'Damn mothers and their nagging', I thought as I popped a chocolate into my mouth. 'It's not my fault I inherited dad's chocolate addiction.' As I carried on with my thoughts, I pulled up an e-mail reply I'd received.

To: Charles Aucoin

We would love to have you join our team. We have already received word from two people; a guy named Arkady, from Russia, and a girl named Erin, from England. Both of whom I'm sure you'll meet very soon. I will send you the data for the game via USB.

Thorn Royer

My violet eyes, the eyes that ended with me being swarmed by girls almost everywhere I went, which led to my reclusive habit and got me involved in MMOs, flashed at the mention of a guy named Arkady from Russia.

'Could it... heh not likely. There are too many people in Russia for it to be the guy who stole all that ore I'd collected in WoW(World of Warcraft).', I thought as I shook my head, making my long blond hair fall in my face.' Yeah, but if I ever get my hands on that guy, I'm gonna sprain my wrist from wringing his neck. I spent hours grinding to get those ore. Oh well, it's a chance to make friends, and meet new people.', I thought as I finished my chocolate. Being the polite and generous guy I was, I decided to accept the offer. I brushed a hand through my golden blonde hair before clicking the "reply" button. I have a feeling this will be fun!

(Back to Japan/Thorn's POV)

This was great! We now had a British and French member on the team! I can't even believe it! We now have a team of seven….Well….Maybe eight now. You know that girl, Sinon, Kazuto was talking about? Well he said that she wanted to help us after he told her what we were doing. I met her once at Agil's bar. She was nothing like I thought she was going to be. Kazuto said that she was this great bad-ass sniper! In reality though, she was the average japanese girl. She had blackish-brown hair that was tied with ribbons on the side of her face. I remarked that it was kind of cute and Sugu elbowed me in the stomach. Anyway back to her looks, She had bright dark eyes that were hidden behind rimmed glasses. She looked perfectly innocent to me. However, if she wanted to help us out with the game then bring her on.

"I kind of feel bad for Arkady. He is all alone in development working on the game while we are in ALfheim just spending time together. You know what! I'm going to get that Russian a girlfriend!"

Sugu yelled as she brushed her long blond hair. She had taken the flower pin out of it and it flowed freely onto the bed. The both of us finally saved up and bought a house in a nice winter area. Sugu and I loved the cold weather so it was perfect!

"I don't know Sugu. I don't think he needs your help. The Russians are very good at getting what they want; with women, that is."

I said laughing. She giggled and laid her head on my shoulder as I sat down next to her. I put my hand in hers and rubbed it slowly. Her hand was warm compared to mine; probably from the cold weather outside.

"Is there something on your mind?"

She suddenly asked me after a moment of silence between us. My eyes widened before I nodded slightly. In fact, there was something I wanted to ask her. In ALfheim Online, there is a marriage system that lets you marry a player you love. It's kind of cheesy, I know, but I love her a lot! Of course, it wasn't a real proposal but I was nervous anyway.

"S-Sugu…"

I stuttered as I looked her in the eyes. She gave me a weird look which strangely made me feel better. Her look told me not to be nervous about anything so I went by her non-verbal advice.

"Will you marry me?"

I asked out loud. She blinked and opened her mouth to say something but I interrupted her.

"In the game, I mean!"

"Hehe...I know Thorn! Gah, you're so cute sometimes. Yes. I will marry you in the game."

She told me happily. I sighed in relief before she continued talking to me. She held her hand out and gave me a serious gaze.

"Where's my fucking ring?

"Huh?"

"Where. Is. My. Fucking. Ring."

I gulped and mentally kicked myself for not thinking of getting her a ring. How could I forget!? That was the most important part of a wedding proposal! A game wedding proposal at that! She continued to stare at me and I could tell that she was slowly reaching for her sword that was on the bed. I had to think of something! Dudes help me out! No! Love! The power of love defeats all!

"I love you!"

I screamed as I smashed my lips to hers and brought us both on the bed quickly. Her golden hair sprawled out over the bedspread as I continued to kiss her passionately. She couldn't help but lay her hand on my back and enjoy the ride. I think she was just kidding anyways, but that didn't stop me from making out with her. I mean, she was my wife now! Hypothetically, at least. I pulled back for air to see her face completely red and her mouth gasping for air.

"You okay?"

I asked her with a grin. She just nodded her head and licked her lips. I swear, I would've taken her right then if it weren't for a knock at the door. I groaned and reluctantly got up to answer it. Sugu sat up in a panic and tried to act like everything was normal as I opened the door to find Kazuto standing there.

"Heyyo! Whoa. What's going on here?"

He asked with a smirk. I rolled my eyes and held my head up proudly.

"We're married now. In the game I mean."

"It's about time! And anyways, I wanted you guys to introduce Sinon to Arkady. I'm not good at all with introductions so I need you two to do it for me. You can call me lazy, a bastard, whatever you want, but I'm not doing it."

He said as he waved at us. I looked at Sugu before looking back at her cousin walking away from us.

"Wait a minute! Where is she now!?"

(Arkady's POV)

"Okay….What is your sole purpose in life Mrs….Angela Merkel?"

I asked the famous leader I had just created. Thorn and I had this cool idea where actual world leaders from history could interact with you and give you missions. In addition to the newly-made countries we have made so far, I have made about five famous leaders.

"Killing the Jews and grooming my mustache."

The fake Merkel responded. I sighed and wrote some stuff on my tablet.

"You need some work on your social you're the wrong leader..."

"Kill all who are not nazis! Kill all who are not nazis!"

She yelled in a robotic-sounding voice. I swiped down with my right hand to bring up the menu and looked for the "shut down" option.

Would you like to shut down Unit #3: Angela Merkel?

The computer asked me. I pressed the "yes" option and the man disappeared into thin air. In addition to the leaders and countries, Kazuto has completed the transportation system; which is perfect and very realistic in my opinion. I'm very impressed by the amount of time he took to develop it. I'm not even kidding; he built locomotives, cars, planes, railroad tracks, atv's, motorcycles, scooters, mopeds, and other stuff like that all in a week! He's not very good at testing it though. He tried testing the planes but he just crashed as soon as he took off haha. Nothing like working in a quiet peaceful forest, surrounded by innocent animals of nature, when a huge explosion erupts right behind you. The others worked on the countries and so far we have the United States, Russia, Japan, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, and China developed; on a smaller scale of course. We still have ways to go, but we have really gotten a lot done in my opinion. And to be honest, I love the group. Thorn is the coolest guy to hang out and make ideas with, Kazuto is smarter than fucking Bill Gates, Leafa has the most beautiful designs and an awesome personality, and Asuna feeds me the best food. Too bad it's virtual food though. I'm sure it tastes like Heaven in real life!

"Ummm…..Hello?"

I looked up from thinking about my new friends to see, a girl I hadn't seen yet, in front of me. I have seen a lot of beautiful women, but this one seemed different. She seemed like she had her own personal look that could only work for her. Her pretty hair was a light-bluish color that was tied on both sides of her face. Her eyes kept me staring at them for a second because they were the bluest I had ever seen. They sparkled as they looked into my own eyes. Looking down, I saw that her body was very fit. She wore a nicely made scarf that wrapped around her fine neck and complimented her outfit. Lower, the outfit she was wearing looked tight and stuck to her body like a puzzle piece to another. I practically fainted when I saw that her outfit exposed her slim cream-colored tummy. It all ended with a pair of combat boots and I got to tell you. I actually felt my cheeks heat up slightly; not to the point to where she would notice though.

"ты самый красивый человек я когда-либо видел. Индиго синий глаз обуви на шахте в искры. Я думаю, что мое сердце действительно развевались, как я смотрю на вас прямо сейчас. Если я не был так здорово об этом, я бы краснея, потому что ваша красота нереально... Я думаю, что я нахожусь в влюбленности с вами уже…(You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen. Your indigo-blue eyes shine on mine in sparkles. I think my heart is actually fluttering as I'm looking at you right now. If I wasn't so cool about it, I would be blushing because your beauty is unreal...I think I'm in love with you already…)"

I said to her in the most romantic russian voice I could come up with. She tilted her head in confusion when I was done and all she asked was.

"Huh?"

I just laughed and shook my head.

"Nothing. So what's up?"

I asked her. She put her hands behind her back and her face reddened. Gosh, so adorable!

"I….Well….A friend of mine told me to meet someone named Arkady….Thought he would be here as well but apparently not….Are you Ar-"

"да, I'm Arkady. Arkady Yakushev. Nice to meet you."

I said as I shook her soft delicate hand. She blushed even more as she twirled the blue bang of hair on the right side of her round face.

"I'm Asada Shino, but I prefer Sinon."

She told me with a shy smile. I grinned and showed her what I was doing so she would warm up to me more.

"Well Sinon, This is what I am currently working on."

She scanned the tablet with interest before her eyes lit up and she had an idea.

"That sounds great! Good idea!"

I told her as I wrote down her idea of making a new weapon. It was a sniper rifle. I totally knew this girl was bad-ass from the start! I talked to her for a couple of minutes before she suddenly stopped and giggled.

"What?"

I asked her while smiling.

"Nothing, it's just that I have always loved a good Russian accent. It sounds so…..Awesome!"

She yelled with enthusiasm. Oh yeah, I think we'll get along great. However, I was fully unaware that a certain couple was watching us from the bushes not far off.

"Oh they're so getting together."

Sugu whispered to Thorn as they continued to watch Sinon and I laugh with each other…

And that is the end of the chapter! Yes, I am sorry there are so many POV changes in the chapter but there was no other way to introduce the new british oc and the french oc. All made by the team haha. They will get in the story next! I hope you like them! I'm just going to say that the french oc is a teen but he is actually quite nice and polite while the british oc is tsundere haha. we will see how that goes. And Sinon is in the story now! Yeah, we skipped to where Kazuto finished GGO and now Sinon is in the group. I know ALfheim Online doesn't have a marriage system but in my system it does. If you have any questions as to why something is something in the story, just PM me. Please review and comment the story because we care about your feedback! Ideas are always welcome! Finally, thanks so much for giving your time to read this and we will see you next time!
