The Death Game
"The new invention, the Nerve Gear, is currently available through the official sites of…" Click.
"Hey, what's so great about this Nerve Gear? Every TV channels are all about it." Rukia asked. After the Quincy war, she was assigned to keep an eye on Ichigo. Even though the task was simple enough, it needed someone who was strong enough because of his new power. "Well, they say it make the virtual reality feels like the real world." He replied. "Though I don't agree."
"You played it? The game they are advertising?" Rukia half-asked, half-shrieked. He jumped a bit. "Well, I was a beta-tester. I saw an event and entered it, and it was random drawing. Some say I was lucky, but it wasn't that good." Ichigo said.
"How does it cost? I want to play it! Do you know where I can buy the set?" Rukia asked. He just shrugged. "If you want to play it that badly, you can just use mine. I'll not play the real game, and I got the real game program as something like a thank-you gift. It's still unopened one."
"That's not what I want." Rukia said with a serious expression. Ichigo looked at her, not realizing what she meant.
"I want you to explain how to play the game to me, Ichigo.""Huh? it's not like you can get the game easily. If you get a set somehow, I'll help you." He said, wanting to end the conversation.
"Fine."
"I got one!"
Ichigo stared at her. Tomorrow was the day of opening, and she got it-on time. It was just a comment to make her give up on playing the game, but she somehow did it.
"H-how did you get it? I thought it was all sold out."
"Well, I found out someone who got this as a gift-and she sell this on online. I bought it. Simple as that." Ichigo almost laughed at her prideful voice, but she ignored it. "Remember your promise?"
"Yeah, yeah, I remember. It's hard to explain everything today, so I'll give you just two tips now. It's not much and you should remember it tomorrow." "Ryokai!" Ichigo chuckled at this one comment.
"First, name your avatar's name different than your name. Some people can find everything-in this world- about you just by your name, so be careful."
"But, than how do I name my name?" Rukia interrupted. Ichigo shrugged. "I don't know maybe something like Hikari(1)? You know, your name Rukia(ルキア) have similar sound as Lucia(ルチア), the saint of light. I think it's a good one." She thought about it. It was not a bad name. "The second one is?" She asked. He chuckled. "well, It's my avatar's name. It's Mamoru(2). It's not hard to remember, huh?"
"Uh-huh. So, real lecture begin tomorrow, right? AT the game."
"Yeah, I'll definitely lead your way."
Hikari means light.
Mamoru means to protect.
