((Hello Readers ; u ;

This is the start of the second Arc of my story. Another Prologue, I guess you could say, to get you familiar with the next game.

Akemi's Real Life stats from the first prologue remain the same.

So, technically the next chapter will introduce the new villain... sorry about that. ; u ;

Anyway, please look forward to Level 14 of Ryuuko: Fallen Blade, my friends!

I promise I'll get it up when I can find the time... ; u ;''' ahaha.))

We Bring You to The Next Era of VMMORPG:

This is Rise of the Autumn Moon; The VMMORPG that had no beta testers from outside of the company that made it. In many ways, this is a good thing… no player knows more than any other on opening day. But, that also comes with disadvantages as a gamer. However, the reviews given by those who purchased the demo of the game were astounding and very high. The game sold off the shelves the day of release: January 18th of 2025. The game is compatible with any of the VR Consoles, but many players who purchased the system decided to buy the AmuSphere along with it, since many of the players seemed to be afraid of the Nerve Gear after the Ryuuko Incident.

The game itself is almost like a world map, with 7 connected continents and a variety of special islands meant for players who have gotten through their first 30 levels. Guilds can be formed, shops can be made, and many activities can be done. Rise of the Autumn Moon does, however, require that the player be 16 years or older. The game is rated with age restrictions, and certain features can only be unlocked during certain times of year.

The 7 continents are connected by bridges called "Grand Arcs" of the various classes of the game. Those classes are listed below. There is one Grand Arc that is impossible to cross until a player makes it to Level 30. That is the bridge that leads to the Harbor of the Sea Dragon, and is the gateway to the islands of the game.

Once your character's class is selected, you are given 3 Beginner Status Tasks to do. Once completed, please report to the Great Hall of First City to receive your certification. Are you prepared to enter? Good.

"We welcome you to The Country of Fallen Leaves."

Rise of the Autumn Moon Character Classifications:

- Artisan: This class is for those who specifically want to become merchants in the game. Artisans range from food-vendors on the streets to the highest class weapon makers. Many are not combat-ready, however that is not to say they are unable to learn the skills. Artisans can obtain their shop 2 weeks after obtaining their classification.

- Healer: The Healer class is mainly comprised of monks and priestesses. There are some players who may choose to learn a healing technique or two, despite its difficulty. The class is split fairly evenly between combat-types and non-combat types. Their certification is granted once completing an additional quest for the Nobleman of First City.

- Hunter: Hunters are a villainized class of players, but not all Hunters are out for human targets. Many are collectors for Artisans or are out to look for special items of the game without getting caught up in any combat that may occur… Though, almost all are combat-ready. They are also known as "Bounty Collectors".

- Multi-Weapon Wielder: A combat-class that requires a balanced player to maintain the status. If the player should pay too much attention to one particular weapon, then their skill with that other weapon could drop drastically. This class isn't very common because of the difficulty, and many will change jobs, so as to avoid the penalty of losing the skills they obtain.

- Nobility: The only class that is completely non-combat in the game, and also very rare as a class. They, alongside the computer-generated players of the game, maintain the order of the country they are stationed in. Unfortunately, many are villainized, just as the Hunter class is due to their "powerful status". The Nobility Class has the "right" to make a player take on any mission within their level of power. This class also enjoys to travel, and must do so to keep ties to the other countries. They hire the other players as escorts, and it is difficult to say no to the Nobility class due to the huge amounts of money they pay compared to normal jobs.

- Power Fighter: Another combat-class, the members of this group fight hand to hand or with bladeless-weapons. As the name suggests, they rely on their strength and skill to get them through the game. Their abilities once at higher levels include being able to obtain super-skills, something that only 3 other classes can do.

- Stealth Fighter: This class of player is half combat-ready, and half not. Though they are listed as fighters, they do not necessarily have to fight. Many are brought into teams as a way to escape a too-dangerous situation. Most players would not try and become of this class, but their skills are unmatched when it comes to their super-skills that can be obtained later in the game.

- Summoner: The closest thing to a "magic-user" in this game, the Summoners are also called "Tamers" or "Beast Masters". This class of players is listed as a technical combat-class, but like the stealth fighter, it is not necessarily true. Techniques of summoning range from talismans to staffs, and their super-skills are truly something worthy of being called one of the game's most sought-after skills. This class must complete 2 additional quests before obtaining their true classification from the Temple of Mana, outside of First City.

- Sword Wielder: The final combat-class of the game, this is what the reviews have called "A new class of Samurai for the modern gamer." This class also has one of the largest varieties of skills to learn, as well as being one of the harder classifications to obtain. Players who obtain this class are given their first weapon as a gift from the First City's Nobleman, an avid collector of swords.

Rise of the Autumn Moon User: Akemi

Appearance (In-Game): Black, silky hair that comes to her lower-back, bangs parted to cover part of her left eye. Lavender eyes, fair skin, and maintaining a well-endowed figure while not being too show-offish. Wears a black kimono-like outfit with dark red trim, designed with chrysanthemums and some linear patterns that resemble smoke or clouds in a way. Sleeve on the right side is worn off-shoulder, exposing bandages wrapped over what looks like a fox-face tattoo.
