So... I have already written 12 more chapters for this because of my endless boredom... I will upload a chapter everyday.
From now on the story will be from Zitas or the Dictator of Lifes PoV (That means when somewhere stands 'I' then it will either be her or him)
Crimson Dust: Another?
It's only a week until the grand battle and I train with Kaikishoku. I either spar with him or we hunt monsters. My Level rose really quick thanks to his help and I learned a lot of new spells. I might add that Sorcerers and Magicians are different, Sorcerers can heal but are weaker to sword-fighters than Magicians are, the Job-requirements are also thoughter. I have spells that I can fire from a short distance and from a long distance, Kaikishoku helped me so I can fight against sword-fighters with my staff. Did I tell you that he became a lot stronger with his actual sword?
I often converse with him and 3 o'clock through the PM system and it feels great to be able to talk with someone for once even if those persons are NPCs. I don't have any companions that are players and that's okay because I don't get along well with other humans.

The arena opens and I walk in. It will be one battle were everyone battles everyone. The person that's left wins for himself/ for his team. The prize is a part of land in the north of the Shadow continent. I have no need for that but I want to give that guy from earlier a lesson. The announcer opens the battle and all people start to fight. I cast a bit of magic to increase my speed in case I get attacked. I intent to wait until there are 100 players left and then I will cast a huge spell that eleminates them, should there be people left then I will still have enough energy to beat them.
I evade the few idiots that try to harm me and wait as the number of fighters goes down. They finally drop to 100 and I run to the middle of the battle arena. I let my spell loose that I casted and every player in the stadium dies. My attack lets thousand of needles fall down with great impact around me, they fall down till 40 meters away from me which covers most of the arena. My spell dies down and a priest and sword-fighter still hold themselves on their feet somehow... scratch that, the sword-fighter collapsed and vanished.
The priest raises his hand scared „I-I... yield..."
The announcer looks startled „Ah! Yes, of course! ...And the winner is the Player Dust!" The crowd starts to cheer and I look at them, not understanding their excitement.

/So that's the part of land that I won?/ I just arrived at the location of my price together with the two NPCs. ...Since we are already talking about it, that asshole who stepped on 3 o'clock was the first to be eleminated in the arena, I did nothing. I met him in the village after that though and beat him up for good.
Back to the present, we are currently standing before a huge wall with nothing inside. I have no problem with this, I only need stones which lie scattered on the ground. I use my magic and built a castle out of it but there is still room for a huge town. I order Kaikishoku to search for a place with lots of stones near here but he returns short after that since there is a quarry behind the walls.
I use my fire and water magic to break the stones apart and make several houses. Use them for shops, inns and the like. I make a park and several other attractions with them. I cast spells that let flowers and other plants grow inside the city and use wood and other materials to craft many things. I'm finished at the end of the day but my magic is completly drained as a result.
3 o'clock rests on my lap and Kaikishoku insturcts the NPCs for now. The NPCs will stay here till a certain time, I guess I will have them help me set up traps to protect the city and crystal. I fall asleep in the Second Life world and awake in real life.

School starts today, normally the arena-battles in Second Life would still rage on but Shadow continent is an expection. I get up, dress myself, put on my scarf and go to school. Lan and her brother are in my class and I hear Lan ask her friend to ask the professor something.
It seems that he's from a popular team of the central continents. I write onto my notepad: 'What is this Odd Squad'? and show the note to my neighbor and he gasps.
„How can't you know that?! Do you even play Second Life?!" He shouts and the whole class looks at me.
/Did he have to shout?/ I write: 'I do play Second Life' and show him.
„Which continent are you on?" he wonders and I write 'Shadow'.
„Shadow? The arena-battles ended there already, I heard a girl with no team won there, a sorcerer if I'm not mistaken" he tells and I nod.
„Well, back to the topic. Odd Squad is a team with an elf as knight, he's really strong and handsome! The team members are all weird and our teacher is one of them! Erm... that wasn't meant as an insult, teacher..." he apologizes to the teacher at the last part but the professor dismisses it.
The teacher looks at him „Do you know the name of the person who won on the Shadow continent? It's always interesting to know such things"
My neighbor looks lost and I write 'Dust' onto my notepad.
He mutters his thanks „Corpse says that the players name is 'Dust'!"

/What a bother.../ I sit up and help the NPCs set up traps. I get bored after a while and decide to train, thus leaving the command to Kaikishoku.
/Dead already...?/ The monsters here are rather lame, I beat them all with ease. I hear a twig break behind me and turn around to defend myself when I see that there's a person facing me.
„I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!" She bows before me and I shake my head „Is it really okay?" she wonder with tears in her eyes and I nod.
I ask for her name through my notepad but she answeres „I'm an NPC without a name" she smiles but I don't like that.
I ask/ write if she is part of some quest and she nods. I get her to tell me the contents of the quest and I accomplish it at the end of the day. I fall onto the earth, tired to no ends. I instruct her to go to Kaikishoku and log out. I named her 'Flower' since she has long and straight yellow hair. And thus I got another NPC companion.
This raised some alert inside me since they seem to be self-aware which should not be. I have nothing against that, it's only that it's really weird and that's why I decided to hack into Second Life. Well, easier said than done. I succesfully hacked into it but found nothing, so I decided to look deeper but I got repelled by something. /You want to play? ...Fine./ I manage to get deeper but once I rest my fingers I get pushed back to the start. Deeming it impossible after 5 hours passed, I leave a message that I delete a minute later. If whoever it was stayed on alert for other tries of me, should get what it means. My message:
3D19:67ShadowNorthRedforestDust

„I understand" I leans back „In three days at 20:07 on the Shadow continent, in the North in Redforest... But what does Dust mean?"
