Another day. Another empty, and pointless twenty four hours. Another chance to lose herself in the virtual worlds of video games. That's what Namane Kiluro thought, as she rose from her bed that morning, sleepy still, yawning as she looks out the window of the apartment she rented. The sun was barely up in the sky, the grey clouds telling her it was going to rain. "Great...just what I needed...another day of rain..." She mutters, getting up from her covers and going to her computer, booting it up, letting it get ready while she got dressed and made herself some breakfast.<br/><br/>Namane lived by herself, always looked out for herself, as she always had done, for over eight years now, ever since her mother, father and little brother died when she was thirteen. As she takes a bite of cereal, she remembers how her little brother liked this cereal, and with that thought frowns, and dumps it in the sink, trying to get rid of the upsetting thoughts.<br/><br/>She returns to her room, and sits down at her computer, picking up the headset that sat on the desk, and places it on her head, closing her eyes and feeling herself becoming one with the game, proof of this being the volts of electricity coursing through her body, preventing her from moving an inch. When she re-opens her eyes, she sees she was not at home in front of her comp, but in the middle of no where, this place that resembled nowhere being a sort of dark and depressing ruins, and sitting in front of her looked to be a sort of guide for the game.<br/><br/>"Greetings! To allow you to gain your level and first weapon, I shall need you to log in with your username and password." It said, and Namane blinks. She then sighs, and logs in with her username, Shadow_Heart, putting her password in as well. "Checking online Data-banks... Data found. Weapon of choice: Magic. So you'll be needing this!" The person says, a staff appearing next to her. After a bit of introduction, the person disappears leaving her by herself.<br/><br/>She stands up, as she had been sitting, and looks around. Her clothes had changed, to that of a mage's, a sort of tattered robe with a hood pulled up over her head, a short purple dress, wrappings around her forearms, long thigh-high black stockings, and buckled black shoes. She grips the handle to her staff tightly, and with a careful step, moves forward.<br/><br/>She jumps when she hears a gunshot go off, wondering what was going on. She hurries forward, and looks around, taking in the sight of a few other players, not being able to do much, and when a bullet flies towards her she raises her staff, her arms crossing inf front of her staff, creating a shield of fire in front of her, incinerating the bullet in its path. "I'm a friend!" She calls, keeping the fire up just in case.<br/><br/>Things were moving so fast, and soon there were these creatures in front of them, and without a second thought runs forward, after making the fire shield disappear, so that she was standing next to the other players. "Need some help?" She asks, holding her staff at the ready. Before they could answer, she grins, and instead of Jennifer setting the gunpowder off, she does, by sending a fireball at the barrel, causing it to explode, taking out whatever those creatures were as it exploded.<br/><br/>A voice could be heard, telling them all something, "10/10 one hit kill rank #1. Level Up has been awarded to all of you. those of you with a skill tree are awarded a skill point to spend at your earliest convenience." She looks around, and smiles at the others, before slowly backing away, she felt really weird all of a sudden. "Sorry...about butting in..." She mutters, and waits to see what they would all say or do.<br/><br/>However, before anyone replied, a strange voice suddenly came online as the NPCs all suddenly froze in place. "Greetings Players. By now I am sure you are wondering where you are. Well, as far as you know, you are in a war-zone. This is Cryomythia, and I am the Virus Lord. As a token of my good will, I am going to do some of the work for you." As the voice spoke, the players found themselves transported to what appeared to be empty bunker. The man's voice came online once again "Face2Face 4/4. Level Up and skill point awarded. Wait a minute... what the-" but he was interrupted "Now that you are all together, I have a gift for you, but there's a catch. Only one of you can recieve it, and you won't know what it is until you decide who. Additionally the doors are bolted shut and flame retardant. In precisely an hour I will allow you to leave if you have decided. Every hour after you can't decide, you each lose a life. Understand? Yes? No? Oh, what do I care... It's just an advantage."<br/><br/>At this Namane frowns, wondering just what was going on. Was this normal? She looks around, her hand tight on the staff, as she stood there, silently mulling the events that were happening in her mind. No...this didn't seem too normal... She sighs, and simply waits for something to happen.
