The sound of the airship landing made it nearly impossible for Jaune to hear his grampas words, it was hard enough for him to stop himself from throwing up, even after he took the medicine for it.

"Come on Jaune, you don't want to be the last one off do you?" his grandpa says to him before pushing the button on his wheelchair and leeds Jaune off the airship.

The sounds of people talking, along with the various noises of the animals that the people of this kingdom use for everyday life could be heard in the distance.

He had heard stories about the Kingdom of Aincrad, people said that the moment a person sets foot on it they immediately notice how peaceful it feels.

Jaune had to agree with the stories, the hot sun combined with the ocean breeze along with the smell of the various spices made him feel as if the kingdom was welcoming him.

Unlike the other Kingdoms, Aincrad didn't have a place for airships to land, so the airships had to either land just outside of the kingdom and risk being attacked.

Or the passengers would have to walk down a ramp that led to a biding where they could get off, he and his grandpa had chosen the latter.

As they walked into the building and handed the guard their passports, Jaune began to see just how different Aincrad was when compared to Vale.

Everywhere he looked men and women wore knight armor similar to the one that his grandpa had given him, except that the people around him had a crest on them somewhere, that represented one of the ruling houses.

Despite being a new kingdom Aincrad was rich because of its large amount of dust.

While he doesn't know how the people here managed to do it, the main kingdom or the castle is inside the ocean.

And underneath the castle is one of the largest dust mines in the world, from what the players, the people of Aincrad said, Aincrad's shield pushes the ocean around it away, so that they can reach the dust that's in the ocean and not bother anyone else.

How the shield does that, Jaune doesn't know, but what he does know is that it works and it's the reason that the areas near Aincrad started being developed.

Aincrad is between Vale and Mistral s it sells its dust to both kingdoms and it's the reason why he and his grandpa are here, it's up to them o make sure that the deal that his dad made with the players stays the way it is despite everything that's going on.

"Okay you're free to enjoy yourselves." the receptionist says to them before showing them where the door is.

"Wow." Jaune says as he steps outside.

He knows that he is still in Vale but the town or maybe it is the small city that he's standing in is completely different from the Vale that he knows.

Giant creatures pull wagons filled with people, while other giant creatures pull wagons filled with machines or food.

The people around him are dressed completely differently than what he is used to.

The people here are dressed in bikinis or shorts and while he has seen people wear these kinds of things when he goes to the beach he never expected to see so many people casually walking around like this.

The city itself is surrounded by giant rocks, that were put together somehow to make a wall that keeps the city safe from Grimm.

Unlike the other kingdoms, Aincrad doesn't bother to name its cities, instead, it just calls them city A, city B, and city c.

While the mining town is named Temporary Mining Town because one-day Aincrad will have to move when all of the Dust has been mined, so no one gets any idea about living their lives there.

As they walk to their destination Jaune is tempted to buy a lot of the food but he stops himself, he has to follow his grandpa's lead, it was his grandpa who stood up to everyone and said that Jaune would follow him into Aincrad.

His grandpa had argued that it was time that he learned to stand on his own two feet and that meant throwing him into the fires of life without his family's protection.

As they walked to where the teleporter that would take them into the castle or the main kingdom, Jaune began to see the reason for the problems that Aincrad was starting to have with the people of Menagerie.

He could see several Faunus that wore a collar around their necks to signal their low status in the Kingdom and while the collars didn't have a lock on them the Faunus still wore them regardless.

June knew why they chose to wear the collars but he still didn't like seeing them wear them.

Aincrad had a rule that every Faunus regardless of what position they had outside of Aincrad was to show that they were at the bottom.

He didn't know where or when the collars became common, but this was how the Faunus showed that they were at the bottom, however, the Faunus could take the collars off and never wear them again if they had a job for more than a year.

As they passed the various brothels and bars Jaune knew that the player's way of doing things worked as there was a division amongst the Faunus.

He saw it clearly when a woman that had the ears of a rabbit but wore the armor of a knight hit a woman who had spots covering her body because she crossed the street in front of her.

Jaune wanted to say something to the woman, but his grandpa grabbed his hand and silently told him that it wasn't their place to say or do anything about it.

And so Jaune had no choice but to follow his grandpa towards the teleporter that was guarded by several beast men and golems.

Before they stepped onto the teleporter Jaune turned to see what had happened to the two women and found that they had gone their separate ways.

He couldn't help but let out a breath of relief because he feared that the knight faunus might have killed the lower faunus.

Jaune had heard that it wasn't out of the ordinary to see people owning faunus in one of the cities or seeing a Knight faunus own entire families before someone in those families proved themselves to be worthy of gaining their freedom.

The moment that that person was given their freedom, they were allowed to take their families away from the knight that owned them.

As for the knight faunus that owned the person or family of Faunus they were given another family of Faunus or a single faunus depending on what had gained their freedom, so that they didn't lose anything too valuable.

This was the reason why the Kingdom of Aincrad had quickly become the enemy of Menagerie the Kingdom of Faunus.

And yet despite their harsh treatment none of the faunus in the kingdom wanted to leave because they hopped to one day be a knight Faunus\a Player.

Unlike the Humans or the Faunus, the knights could live in the castle, it didn't matter if they were Humans or Faunus as long as they were a player they were given everything that the kingdom had to offer, but they had to prove their loyalty first.

So while the Humans of Aincrad could visit the castle and enjoy its luxuries, the faunus had to make do with what the Humans sold them, until they could prove themselves useful and join the knights.

The world vanished in front of Jaune for a moment and then Jaune felt his breath leave him, now he understood why everyone didn't leave.

He could see the ocean circling the castle, while at the same time, he could see fish and Grimm swimming in it.

there was a green field that didn't seem to end and he could see animals grazing in the distance, he looked u out of instinct and gasped.

While he could see the blue sky, he could also see the people on the other floors.

"Welcome." A woman says t them before she hands them a bag filled with gems.

"The gems will help you with whatever you may experience, just hold a gem and squeeze."

"If you look on the side you can see what the gems are for, and if you are experiencing something that we didn't give you a gem for feel free to tell us so that we can help you before you get worse." the woman says to them before she walks away from them.
