I hope you like this chapter too, I think I'm moving the story along, but if it's too slow then please tell me.

Later that day, Haseo and Haku both logged onto "The World" and had the same reaction "What are you doing here! Are you following me!" and then Haku started staring at Haseo "Hey you! What are you staring at…..Did you fall for me or something?" Haku looked away abruptly "No, I didn't. You might want to check your weapons and other equipment because it's now level…1"

"Huh? What level is it!? C'mon spill it"

"O.K. O.K. its level 133 as always." Haku smiled and lied. "God…You're just as enigmatic as Ovan. If you want to lie to me try harder! What is the level of my character, old hag!" Haseo yelled. When Haku heard this, an angry aura appeared as she turned around and said "What did you just say? Did you just call me an old hag? For your information I'm 17 and the level of your PC is 1. I could take you out in one hit." Haseo seemed to shrink back as he saw aura. "H-hey now…Don't be rash, I just mean you should tell me the truth. Wait did you say level 1? That can't be true! How did this happen?"

"O.K., I'll tell you, Tri-edge 'Data Drained' you. I told you this would happen, you didn't believe me and now this is the effect of your moronic actions." Then Haku slinked off to "Raven" to join it.

"Hey Pai, let me in I've come to join this guild!" Haku shouted angrily and impatiently. All the other players who walked by stopped and stared at the weird player who was banging on the door of "Raven" "Oh Blargh it ya old hag! Don't make me wait any longer because I'm in a really foul mood right now!" Then Haku forcefully took out the home key to Raven. "Hmmmm…If I remember correctly, she's in the room called the 'Serpent of Lore'. I guess I'll go there." As she the Serpent of Lore, she heard Yata, Pai, and someone else she didn't know talking. "Kuhn, I need you to follow the player called 'Haku' she wants to join the guild but not to help the new players…she knows about the 'Avatars' and wants to help Haseo." Pai said "I see," Kuhn said to Pai then he turned to Yata and said "Yata, I need you to show me where she is so I can follow her." Then when Yata turned his all-seeing-ball (I didn't know what it was called, so don't get mad at me) to show Kuhn where Haku was. When they saw her in the room right before the Serpent of Lore, Kuhn and Pai looked at each other and said "Isn't that a room that's in our guild?!?"

Kuhn calmly walked out of the Serpent of Lore and said "Hey, what's a pretty girl like you doing in a boring place like this?"

"Hm? What are you talking about? My name is Haku and I'm here to join! Take me to Yata now!" Haku practically yelled. "Oh so you're Haku? My name is Kuhn and I'm here to bring you to Yata." Kuhn smiled. "Huh. I'd rather have the old hag, Pai, take me there than some weirdo flirt like you." Kuhn looked like he'd just been stabbed but he continued to sweet talk her "Oh come now, I'm not as bad as all that. Now come this way so we can talk to Yata so you can join the guild." Haku glared at Kuhn for a second then she sighed and followed him. When they reached the Serpent of Lore Yata and Pai were there waiting and Pai said "What took you so long? You have kept Yata-sama waiting."

"Well the only reason it took me so long to get here was because that guy," she said pointing at Kuhn, "was flirting with me." Then she turned to Yata and said "I believe you know why I want to join the guild but there is something I want to ask you in private without the hag or the flirt listening in."

"I see. Kuhn, Pai your work for me is done for the day, you may leave now."

"But Yata-sama, are you sure about this? What if she tries to PK you?"

"Pai what do you take me for? A Chaotic PK, I'm not so dumb as to PK a CC corp. admin. Besides Yata said leave so shouldn't you be listening to him?" Haku smirked. Pai looked affronted but then she saw the look Yata was giving her and left. Then Yata said "Haku the question you had, does it have something to do with Haseo or Tri-edge?"

"It's about both, who is Tri-edge and what does he want with Haseo?"

"Well I cannot answer your questions."

"Why the hell not?"

"Because the information you are asking about is strictly classified. Now I have a question for you, will you be loyal to me if you join this guild?"

"Yeah, I will, I've got no other choice…"

"Good, welcome to G.U. but I have some work to do so you may leave now." Yata said.

Then Haku logged out to check her e-mail. She had one, from Ovan: "Haku if you wish to help Haseo to gather the other epitaph users, come meet me in Hidden Forbidden Radiation and I shall tell you." Haku decided to log back in and check out what Ovan had to say. When she went to Hidden Forbidden Radiation she saw Ovan and he said "In order to help Haseo you need to do two things: take this bag from me and go back to level one." Haku took the bag, looked inside, and said "Ovan what would I need with a bag of rocks?"

"You shall see. Now, take out the blue one and the triangle shaped and tell me which one you think is Skeith and which one you think is Corbenik."

"I don't see what you're getting at but………I think the triangle shaped one is Skeith and the blue one is Corbenik."

"That's correct."

"That's nice Ovan, but what do they have to do with anything?"

"Are you familiar with the Eight Stages of Morganna?"

"Oh Yeah! I know them, Skeith, Innis, Magus, Fidchell, Gorre, Macha, Tarvos, and Corbenik……Oh I get it now the stones relate to the Avatars and their corresponding Epitaph Users……Wait I know Haseo is Skeith then that means that you're Corbenik?"

"Yes that is correct and now I shall Data Drain you give you 'The Sight'" Ovan said then he transformed into Corbenik but Haku didn't see anything other than Ovan glowing. Then just as her Player Character was about to shut down, after Ovan had Data Drained her, she saw Corbenik. It looked like a humanoid with five leaf-shaped horns on the top of its head and a giant demonic arm. Then everything went black. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
