"HAAAHHHH!" Neptune shouted in exhaustion as she let the stick dropped on the ground with a thud, before letting her body follow suit. Successfully exterminating the dogoos, leaving her in a messy area, with goo in almost every spot of the ground, Neptune's chest heaved.

"That...That was...awesome...haaaa!" She panted as she stared at the big blue skies as her sweat trickled from her face. Her fight wit the hoard of goo monsters was, least to say, uneventful. Sure, she didn't have any trouble dodging and whacking the goos' but nobody told her they could heal. Well, the pinkish red dogoo with green tentacles caught her off guard. There were two of them out of the twenty dogoos she fought, their ability to heal their fellow goo prolonged the fight. Still, she won't deny that she had a blast.

Her excitement tuning down, she lets a final deep breath before she relaxed her body completely.

It was still surreal how she's somehow in a different world. Just a few hours ago she was going to school and being all boring, but now she's ass kickin' monsters, she was somehow an awesome individual and now she has a different color scheme! Oh how life could be so unpredictable.

"If this'll be my life from now on, I don't think I'll ever want to go home." Neptune said with a smile. She doesn't worry about her mother, because she knows she'll be alright. It might be lonely for her but, her mother's strong.

And boy does she sound selfish.

Neptune breath in the foreign air, and regretted it. She wrinkled her nose when the smell of the dead goos reached her nose, it was intolerable! It smelled of a poor sewer system.

"Yuck! My nose!" Neptune pinched her nose and sat up. She can't believe she didn't notice the smell. Was it because she was too focused on defeating them that her sense of smell didn't function? That sounds outlandish. Or, or was it a passive skill? Lame, but it proved to be useful if it was.

"What the-?" An unfamiliar voice reached Neptune's ears. The purple haired girl turned to the side to that there was someone else besides her. Neptune, still pinching her nose, observed the other girl.

She had long brown hair, and small part of her hair being held up by a green ribbon that looked like leaves in her hair. The unknown girl had green eyes, and the expression she's wearing was shock. Brown hair was wearing a blue trench coat with silver linings, and a black shirt and black short shorts. On her foot wear, she was wearing a over the calf black socks and blue boots, also with silver linings, to finish her appearance.

Purple eyes widened.

No frinkin' way.

There was no denying it. This girl. She's an adventurer.

"Hey, were you the one who killed all these goos?" Unknown adventurer asked, her expression still in surprise. Neptune blinked her daze away, as her brain realized that she was being asked. She nodded. "Uhh, yeah,"

The brown haired girl walked forward and knelt down to examine the monsters, or what's left of them, on the ground. "This amount of goos. There were probably ten, right?"

"Twenty actually."

"Twenty?! The information said there were only ten." Adventurer girl stood up, Neptune still on the ground, silently watching her. "Was there a dogoo that looked like a jelly fish?" The purple haired girl nodded. "Yeah, there were two of them and I nearly got my butt kicked because they kept healing the other dogoos like-"

"Hang on, there were two?" Unknown adventurer asked. Neptune nodded. "And you still managed to defeat all those goos?" Unknown adventurer girl asked in disbelief.

Neptune quirked her eyebrows. "Does that make me amazing or something? I mean it's common knowledge to either kill the healer or the range fighters first before focusing on the normal ones." Adventurer girl looked in disbelief. "And you say your name was?"

"Actually, Unknown Adventurer girl," The brown haired adventurer scrunched her eyebrows at what the purple haired girl called her. "I didn't tell you my name, but that's fine." She pointed at herself with her thumb, with a wide grin. "Names Neptune. And you are?"

Unknown Adventurer girl straightened her posture. "IF."

Neptune blinked. "What like If? IF? Two letters?"

"Yeah, is there a problem?" IF asked while the purple haired girl shook her head. "No, no problem at all..." She have played a lot of videogames before, and now in MMO, if your under leveled and have a guts to challenge a higher leveled player in a battle, then good luck.

"If I may ask,?" Neptune chortled. 'IF just said if.' "What are you doing in the middle of the Virtua Forest?"

"I don't know actually, I just got here." The green eyed girl looked at the girl before her. "You just got here? What, you used a portal?" The purple haired girl pondered at the question. How did she get here? Was there any reincarnation stuff that happened to her? She did die on the other world right? But what if her body on the other world disappeared?

"I don't know. All I know was that I hit my head, opened my eyes and here I am. I'm sorry I can't really explain, but yeah I think I got here through a portal." Neptune said, to which the other girl continued to look at her weirdly.

"Alright, and you say you defeated all this goos? With what exactly?" IF gaze trailed down to the stick Neptune was holding, then saw her pointing at it. "Oh, I used this stick." The brown haired girl looked bewildered.

"You mean to tell me, you defeated all twenty of those goos you mentioned, with a stick." Neptune nodded triumphantly. "That's right."

"Right, uh, okay, and you defeated all twenty goos including two of those healing type, with a stick."

"Yeap." Just as Neptune said that, the two of them heard a low but loud 'OOoooOO' by the distance, the ground shaking at the sound. "...What was that?"

IF knelt down, pulled out an small empty bottle and filled it with the goo on the ground. "A giant goo."

"A giant goo?! You mean there's a big version of those dogoos?"

"Yup, a type that can't be defeated by a stick...and dogoos?" IF asked in confusion, whilst the purple eyed character nodded. "Yeah, dog and goo...Because they look like dogs?" The brown haired girl stared at her for a moment. "Oh, come on, you can't possibly not tell me that monster is not a combination of a blob and a dog."

"Whatever, let's just get out of here." IF then placed the bottle inside her coat and started dashing away. Neptune watched her go, and soon followed suit. "IF, you can't possibly missed that dog face it has."


A couple of minutes of just running out of the Virtua Forest, IF and Neptune had finally reached the end at around noon and was now standing in front of the gigantic gates. The purple haired girl panted, slumping on the ground as she tried to catch her breath.

Sure she could do all those stunts she did back in the forest and all, but running around in a full thirty minutes in full speed was not her idea of a work out. "You can't be serious, we just ran for a few minutes." IF, who in some unfair world, didn't break a sweat and was now looking at Neptune in pity. "You...you...can't b..blame me." Neptune said in between pants. "I just finished clearing up some mobs and the next thing I knew, I'm running at full speed. Not my idea of relaxation."

"Well, in case you didn't know, those mobs you cleared was supposed to be my quest."

"See? I cleared them up for you, at least give me some credit."

She just got in this world, so that had probably added in her fatigue. Plus, in her previous world, she was already fatigued due to lack of sleep. IF procured a water bottle from her pocket and handed it to the exhausted purple haired girl. "Here."

Neptune wiped her sweat with her hand, as she stared at the bottle dubiously. "That isn't the goo, is it? Cause I had just considered you my friend, so that would totally suck."

The adventurer huffed. "Of course not, who do you think I am?" As soon as she spoke those words, the purple eyed girl swiped the bottle out of her hand and gulped it's content.

As Neptune drank the liquid, she instantly felt refreshed. It felt like she had regained her stamina, and it most definitely felt like she could go and exterminate more monsters. Just what was in that drink?

"Whoa, what is this? I feel a lot better." Neptune stood and did a few hops. Her head does not hurt anymore. "It's healing grass, a level one healing potion." IF said as she took the empty bottle back. At the word 'potion,' The purple haired girl grinned widely. "I can't believe it. I really am in another world."

The brown haired girl looked at the other girl suspiciously, but decided to shake it off. "Anyways, I have to take this goo back to the guild, and since you did finished my quest, I'll give you the reward credits."

"Huh?"

"The credits you asked for? I thought you wanted the money?" IF asked in confusion. "Your money's called credits? Seriously?" Neptune crossed her arms."Huh, oh well, you'll seriously do that?"

"Of course, I don't take rewards to quest I didn't finish." IF stated before walking towards the gate with the purple haired girl in her trail. Neptune immediately noticed two guards at each side of the entrance. They were clad in heavy looking armor and are holding spears on their right and a rectangular shield on their left.

"Halt! State your business." Left guard stated. IF casually walked towards him and showed them her pass. "Adventurer, I'm here to report a quest. And this girl right beside me is someone new, so she still doesn't have a pass."

"What's your name stranger." Right guard pointed his spear on her, to which Neptune brought her hands up. "Whoa, there soldier, what are you doing?" The brown haired girl said as she stands in between them.

"The Lady's orders ma'am, the citizens of Leanbox are still on edge from the raid a few days ago." IF nodded understanding. "Well, I assure you she isn't one of them, so lower the weapon and ask the girl politely." The guard remained his ground, but eventually lowered the spear. "State your name, stranger." The purple eyed girl sighed in relief, what strict guards.

"N-Neptune, sir!" Neptune blurted out, and saw the guard on the left scribbled something on the paper he pulled out. "Will you be staying for the night here, ma'am? Your pass would take a few hours to get ready."

"Uhh," She looked at IF who nodded. "Yeah, I'll spend a night here." The guards nodded. "Very well, open the gates!" He shouted. Neptune watched in awe as the guard on the left cranked open the gates, and what awaits on the other side left her in extreme awe.

It almost looked like a fairy tail. Purple eyes looked to her surroundings in amazement. Every corner, there were stalls. Not a stall that you could find in her previous world but full blown MMOesque stalls. There were weapon vendors, clothes, potions, etc. Neptune could feel excitement building up inside of her. She can't believe it. A few hours in this strange world, and she could already feel herself thanking the miracle that brought her here.

IF walked inside, but stopped when she noticed Neptune wasn't following her. "Neptune." She called out, breaking the other girl's dazed state. "Oh, yeah, coming!"

...

"So what did happen a few days back? Something about a raid?" Neptune asked the girl beside her as they continued to walk towards the guild hall. IF looked at her companion before turning her gaze back to the front. "Leanbox is a rich country. Besides from it's strong in magical aspects, Leanbox is also rich for it's gems, most specifically Green Heart."

"Green heart?"

The brown haired girl nodded. "It's what this country's prized item is and couldn't even be sold to a normal merchant. It's so valuable that it is said that it could only be sold to a merchant in the shadows, but no one had actually encountered them before so they're myth as of now." Neptune nodded. "So the raiders were after this so called 'Green Heart?'"

IF made a turn to the left, the purple haired girl following suit. "Yes, but fortunately the ruler of the nation, Lady Vert, had them taken care of." Neptune looked at IF who have a smile on her face. "Ohohoho, seems like someone's got a crush." The adventurer whipped her head to the side to look at her companion, her face tinted with red hue." "What are you talking about, of course I don't. I just admire her that's all!"

"Yeah, of course, silly me. Of course you just 'admire' her. Don't worry even if you swing that way you're always be my friend." Neptune barked a laugh as IF winced, this Neptune chick seriously is a piece of work.

"Ughh, you're incorrigible. We're here."

Neptune focused her gaze in front of her, and excitement, once again, started to build up inside of her. The building was old, but it still held it's ground. It's mostly made of rich dark mahogany wood, with poles on each side. Golden lining adorned the infrastructure, and hints of green were added to the color. Two giant battle axes in a crossed position were hanging just by the entrance, as series of adventurers come in go.

"Oh, my- It's a guild hall." Neptune whispered, her eyes beaming in amazement as she stared at the building. IF took the lead and pushed the door open. "Well? Are you coming or not?"

The purple haired girl snapped out of her daze and eagerly followed the veteran. The smell alcohol instantly reached her nose, making her reek. Looking at her surroundings, she noted that the room was dimly lit, the source of light coming from the melting candle by the bartender table and rows of candle light hanged on each side of the room. Empty tables and only a few adventurers could be seen occupying the space, and Neptune have to admit, now that she's actually inside, she could feel a homey feeling.

"I thought this was a guild hall." Neptune asked the girl in front of her, who stayed silent as she continued to walk towards the counter. There, by the counter table, was another girl with peach colored hair. She wore clothes that showed off her assets but not much that she looked like...like...

"Iffy!" The unknown woman called out in happiness as soon as her sights on the girl in blue coat, ran to where IF was standing and hugged her. "Whoa there, it's nice to see you too Compa. Is pops around?" 'Compa' shook her head. "He went out for some booze, as usual, so I'm taking over." Her gaze fell on Neptune.

"Oh, and you are?" The purple haired girl fixed her posture and place her right hand on her hip and pointed at herself. "The protagonist."IF sighed in disbelief. "This idiot right here is Neptune." Neptune looked at IF in shock as she placed a and on her shoulder. "Iffy, you weren't supposed to tell her that." She said with a smirk.

The brown haired girl groaned at the nickname, as she shields her face with her hands. "Compa, what have you done. " Compa giggled at their actions and turned her attention fully on Neptune. "Nice to meet you, Nep-nep!"

Purple eyes beamed, then turned to IF for explanation. "Nep-nep?"

"It's a thing she does to everyone she meets. Don't worry about it." Neptune then turned back to Compa. "Ohhh, right, how cute! I'm Nep-nep!"

"Horray! So what can I do for you two?" The 'guild master' asked, while IF pulled out a bottle and a paper out of her coat. "Collecting the rewards about the extermination of the goo-"

"Dogoos." Neptune inquired.

"Right, sure, whatever, extermination of the dogoos." Compa took the paper and looked through the information. "Oh, right, hang on just a minute." The 'guild master' bent down the table as Neptune and IF waited. Compa then stood up straight, now with a small pouch in her hand, while her left took the bottle on the table.

"1,000 credits for completing the quest and 500 credits more for obtaining the objective." Compa said with a smile as she hands IF the pouch, who then passed it to Neptune. "Compa, there were twenty dogoos spotted on the field today." Peach colored eyes widened. "Twenty? But the complaint only stated ten." The green eyed girl nodded, she opened her mouth to say something but Neptune beat her to it.

"That's what IF said, but I defeated one dogoo and after that twenty more came." Compa turned her attention to Neptune. "You were the one who defeated the 'dogoos'?" The purple haired girl nodded. "Yeah, it was tough since there were two of those healing type dogoos."

Compa watched Neptune silently, then turned to IF who only shrugged. "I see, well, uhm, I know I'm not suppose to do this, but here's 500 more credits for clearing all twenty of those monsters." The 'guild master' gave Neptune a small pouch who only beamed in excitement. "Whoa, seriously? Aww, thanks."

Compa smiled at her. "It's no problem." She then noticed the clothes Neptune was wearing. They were full of grime, and small rips here and there. "Nep-nep, would you like me to tend your clothing?"

"Huh?" The purple eyed girl then looked at her clothes and saw the state it was in. "Oh, that would be nice and I need a shower after all those running my good friend Iffy here had us do." IF shook her head in exhaustion. "Now that you pointed it out, Compa is there any rooms available?" The 'guild master' nodded. "Yup, two of our customers checked out so there are two rooms available as we speak. Would you like me to check you in?"

"Yes, that would be nice. Thank you." The brown haired girl pulled out one hundred credits. "Neptune, pay up. Doesn't mean Compa knows us she'd let you slide." Neptune nodded and mirrored IF. "Geez, I know that. Here you go." She placed the money on the table to which Compa collected and gave them their keys.

"Here are your keys, dinner starts at dusk so there are plenty of time to clean up. Breakfast starts at dawn, and if you need anything you could ask me anything." She smiled, while the other two girl took the keys. IF turned to Neptune. "If you're gonna stay down here, I'm gonna go ahead and wash up."

"Sure, go ahead." The brown haired girl nodded before walking away to her room. Neptune and Compa watched her go. "I think I'll also go, but a minute. How do you become an adventurer?"

She isn't going to live in this whole new world not being one. "Oh, you just need to register. Why, do you want to be one? I could register you if you'd like." Puple eyes beamed. "Yes, yes that would be super! But do you think I could do it after dinner? I really need to get out of this clothes."

"Sure thing, I'll have the device ready so you should also get ready." Neptune nodded and went to her own room.


After finally getting out of her sweaty clothes and changed into fresh new clothes, courtesy of Compa, Neptune proceeded to the mess hall and was immediately approached by Compa, who then took her damaged clothes and tend to them. Dinner was great, mainly consisting of meat and mashed potatoes with crab soup on the side, Neptune had realized at that time that she hadn't eaten anything ever since she was transferred in the new world. IF, on the other hand, didn't show up for dinner leaving Neptune to eat all by herself, with the company of Compa, who she learned was actually a nurse in training, only helping the tavern once in a while whenever her grandad wasn't around.

Compa's grandpa showed up a few minutes Neptune started eating, and was stinking drunk, causing Compa to help him to his room. After dinner, Neptune was ready. Ready to be an adventurer, ready to level up and face foes here and there. The temporary 'guild master' assisted her to where the device was, guiding Neptune's hand on top of the device, and it immediately did it's work. A faint light erupted from the device, causing the purple haired character to squint her eyes. But it immediately fades, as it then coughed out a small paper, almost the size if a calling card. Compa encouraged her to take it, which she excitedly did, then noticed that the paper was a warm.

The purple eyed girl then smiled as she reads the content of her 'Guild card' and decided to call it a day. Bidding Compa goodnight, she went straight to her room to ogle at her paper.

Neptune laid down the bed staring at the small paper in her hand in pure enlightenment. She's finally a seasoned adventurer! Oh, boy, now things are getting way, way more interesting. Purple eyes scanned the paper once again.

Neptune (Rookie)

Lvl. 3

Class: ?

Race: ?

Skills: Quick evade lvl 1(passive), Quick step lvl 1 (passive)

AG:9 STR:12 INT:9 DEX:15

Neptune nodded to herself. She could understand that this was a status of a beginner, and with fifteen as the highest. All skills she has are all passive, but that would definitely change sooner or later.

Her purple eyes then traced back to the race with an unknown description. Why was it unknown? Wasn't she supposed to be dubbed as human since she is one? Very odd, does that mean she doesn't belong to a race she thought she was? Was the device broken?

Neptune rubbed her tired eyes as fatigue hit her with full force. Opting to finally take a rest, she placed her 'guild card' to the table beside her. She closed her eyes, tomorrow she'll head straight to the weapon smith and purchased a real weapon. And hopefully get some grinding done. A lot of grinding.


Just wanted to say that the Neptune in this story isn't like the Neptune on the original, so she's a slight OOC.

The world isn't Gamindustry but Alsgard with the Gamindustry country Leanbox, Lowee and Lastation on the mix, though I'll probably add villages to make it more interesting.

Some forest or dungeons would be original but majority would probably be taken from the game.
