As her attacker raised the jagged edge of the blade, Lynda raised her hand weakly to block the attack, knowing full well that she was finished.Â<br/><br/>And then it happened. She was back in the city square again, left to wonder why she did not receive the death screen.Â<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>Kyle let loose a cheer as he collected his spear and the victory screen appeared on his screen. He levelled up to twelve and pressed the okay button on the notification screen.Â<br/><br/>It was as though they had switched location in the blink of an eye. It took Kyle several seconds to realise that he<span style="font-style: italic">was</span>indeed moved against his will back to the city square. He was not the only one by the looks of it, many others were standing looking bewildered by their surroundings, others looked as though they were a tier or two above the others.Â<br/><br/>The sun now gave off a scarlet light, painting everything in a red light. He noted that his party was still close by. What was going on? The clouds swirled in a lazy spiral above.

The answer is true and now I pursue another goal, another question: How well can they fit into the rules of this world I gave them? How would they live in it? But I am aware that none would stay in this world for me to observe anything. Some of you may have already noticed that the log out function is disabled. There is no mistake, it was meant to be disabled. Before we go on any further, I must inform you all that death here would trigger an alert in the system and would kill the you in the real world. Many have tried removing the Nervegear helmets in attempt to log out by force.</span>"<br/><br/>He stretched out an arm causing various windows of news snippets to appear. "<span style="font-style: italic">Some did not listen. Fifty dead. It's your choice to believe it. But there is a way to log out. Seven bosses of the realm must be defeated. With every defeat, an object would begin to solidify. This object is known as the Holy Grail upon physical contact with it, you are allowed one wish, one absolute command. That is all.</span>" The avatar vanished, leaving them all bewildered.Â
