《Aratana hajimari (VRMMO)》 Hey, My name is... Mom!" Akira yelled scared as her parents were no where to be found. "where are you!" she whimpered and sat in th darkness as a light appeared and she turned her head confused. She stood up and walked to it and everything went dead silent... then she woke up sweating "Was that a dream!?" she shrieked in her mind. "okay, no more redbull for me." She sighed and got out of bed and looked in the mirror. "Uhg im a mess..." she said looking at her long curly hair which currently had looked like a rats nest, her baggy tanktop that had a symbol of her favorite video game console ''The Nerve Gear'', and her solid black pajama pants. " And this my friends, is what redbull will do to you.." she said turning away from the mirror and looked around scanning the room "ok where did i put it?" she said looking for her bag full of her clothes. She had them in a bag because she hadnt finished unpacking all her clothes from the move from Japan to michigan. After getting dressed she headed down stairs "Not really looking foreward to school..." she sighed setting at the table and scanned her plate as it was the normal eggs, fried ham and toast. She bit into the toast and the bus arrived "Already!" she shrieked and ran out side tripping and face planting into the mud. "OH GOD D-" she stopped as he rmom was staring at her and she got up and the bus opened the doors only to hear a crowd of laughter. This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. She went to wipe the mud off and walked on the bus and sat in the far back away from all socialization and putting headbuds in her ears and turned on the music and she looked out the window. They all reached school and she walked in "what a draggy day but atleast were going to an arcade today" she said and looked at the other buss waiting for kids and she walked over and seen her best friend that plays VRMMO''s with her "Hey Alby". she smiled at him and he waved back hiim being the nerd he is and he continued to his DS and she laughed. She stood beside him and pulled her nerve gear out from her bag and she had broought a spare "Dude guess what." Alby had looked at her confused "wh-" he seen the nerve gear and his eyes widened "Oh my god!" he shrieked. "yeap theres a nerve gear room at the arcade" she smiled and handed him one and showed him the game "FBFO" she said to him "Fantasy Battle Forces Online" The teacher whistled and she stuffed it in her bag "im playing it on the bus" she said getting on and sat with Alby and she pulled out the nerve gears "Ready?" she slid on her nerve gear and turned it on laying back in the seat as Alby nodded and did the same. "Game Start" they both said in sinc Chapter 2 "Game Start" they said in sinc and it started up as they both relaxed and were greeted with a display of classes. It went in the order of Warrior, Mage, Healer, Scout, and Assassin,, starting with the Warrior, you focus mainly on strength and defence and swords, axes, and maces. Then there is the Mage and the Healer, you focus mainly on intelligence and stamina, the stamina used for speed and how long you can hold you spells. Next Scout, also known as a theif used for picking locks pick-pocketing and sneak attacks. Finally Assassins, highly trained in hand to hand combat and maily focuses on Stamina and Health. Akira scanned the classes focusing closely because you were stuck with that class and was not able to change it, she mainly had her eye on Assassin though and she decided to go with that as Alby went with Mage. They both generated in a world and they were given a map that showed the towns and they were currently in New Fost-Worth. "new...Fost-Worth.. ok, so our adventure begins here Alby i hope to see you soon in future contests or battles" Akira smiles at Alby and he smiles back "wish you luck Akira" he says and runs of to the nearest woods. "okay all by myself... first i need to raise my Stamina..." Akria sighs "now I actually need my redbull" she looks up and starts walking and sees a creature and pulled out her starter weapon, A Tribal Dagger, it was small black and it had white leather wrapped around the handle. Akira prepared her self as she walked closer but only to find out it was a rabbit, "Consirta Rabbus". She read the name and it looked at her "Awe....how cute" Akira said letting her guard down and it grew big and grew long fang dagger like teeth and she suddenly felt small. "Help...not cute anymore!" she shrieked and took off running as the thing chased her "Alby whyd you have to leave at that moment!". Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. No, no, no Not today!" she turned around taking a stance and she was ready for battle. As the Rabbit towered her she screamed internally but face the beast anyways and she took a step and gripped the dagger as she lashed at the beast in a forcible manner as it went to move but could enough because bigger thing move faster than slower things, she lashed at it cutting a huge gaping gash in the side of it as when she strike mint colored particles followed the strike as she seen the hp bar hit zero and an item fell from the beast. Akira picked it up and looked at it as it read ''NLO'' but she didnt know what it stood for and Akira opened it and looked at it. "no info....ill just have to risk it" Akira said looking at her item box and clicked use and the game glichted and placed her in a place that looked similar to her riding on the bus but something seemed diffrent. The buwas going at a faster pace then it hit a pothole and started tumbling doiwn the mountain side and she let out a shriek, then...everything went black. Chapter 3 Akira shrieked "whats going on?!". Akria looked around and seen Alby was awake too but noone else was, Alby looked at her "what happened Akira, What did you do?!" Alby panicked. "Nothing i just used an item that said NLO and then i glitched." Alby looked at her like she was stupid "That Was a Never Log Out Item!" he shrieked and slapped his head as everything went black. she woke up in a forest and shivered from the cold as she felt a soft coldness beneth her andd hitting her face and she opened her eyes and looked around and she was greeted with snow and spruce trees "w-where am i?" she said and stood up brushing the snow off her She seen she was in different clothes than the ones she was in in real life. Akira had a black and white robe with a leather cloth tunic and fur boots along with hide like leggings and she looked at the tugging on them "theyre comfortable but a bit baggy.." she felt around to find a dagger on her side in the holder with a few vials and she felt the other side and she felt another daggger but only two vials and she stopped "this cant be...." she said and opened the menu "Where the log out button!" she shrieked and checked the chat and everyone is freaking out "oh my god i did this im so stupid..." Akira muttered and closed it and looked around "i am stuck in here...no way out i have to survive..." she turned around her cloak swaying and she started walking "okay i have to find the next town...." she checked her map and looked at it "Quoldery Elm.... sounds like elfs or trolls....lets hope not" she said and put the map back in her inventory. Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site. She was walking for quite a while and all she seen was snow and trees nothing important. "why is it so far...." she whined and stoped as she heard a man start talking and she hid in a tree as she seen two archers a guy and what appeared to be a dark elf. "stay calm...stay calm...stay calm..." she whispered to her self shaking a bit scared they might find her and she heard a howl and seena wolf coming at them from behind "Watch out!" she shrieked and jumped onto the wolf grabbing her dagger as the wolf came to its senses it growled and pinned her arms down and she wiggled around but couldnt get free then she heard the ma pull his bow back and shoot him in the forehead as it fell dead and breathless.\ she had shakey breath as she looked up at the man he had soft wavy light brown hair and pretty tall and looked strong. He held his hand out to help her up and she got up and smiled and bowed "thank you sir" Akira thanked as the man smiled "please, sir? call me Alec " he smiled "and you are?" Akira smiled and nodded back at him "Akira im an assassin.." she smiled he nods back at her "this is Jec an elf he helps me he is basically my partner in everything" he nods and looks around a bit. she stops and her eyes widened when she thought if he knew if she stopped the log outs and ins "i-i have to go..." she said nervously. He pulled his bow back "not so fast.." he said with a deep voice. Chapter 4 She froze in her track her heart sped up feeling like its going to race out of her chest "Y-Yes?" Akira said nervously as she turned around seeing his bow drawn and she studdered a bit. "Jec search her." he said holding up a bow as Jec walked over to her and patted her down and leaned in and whispered "i wont take anyhing he is a huge Dou-" he was cut of by Alec grumbling "hurry up!" he snapped. He backed up "She has nothin'' boss" he said looking at her and made a shh face. Alec grumbled "Listen here girl you speak about us and we will hunt you down and we will Kill you" He growled walking off and Jec followed but turned around and handed her a scroll looking thing. As he being her she took it as thy walked off into the snowy fog. "ok whats this..." she mumbled still shaken up by what just happened. she opened it and it had diffrent symbols on it she could only read a bit but she could understand any of it. "The heck... it seems to be some kind of spell scroll..." she said rolling it back up and putting it in her inventory. "okay so...those guys.....were...somethin" she shook her head and stumbled up to her feet properly. "ok...ok..focus Akira you will most likely be hunted again.. you cant let that happen who know what they will do" she shivers at the thought and sighed "I need my Red Bull..." she said and slouched. If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. She gripped her dagger for safety and started walking hearing the snow crunch under her feet and she walked and she hummed a little tune nothing too loud just something to entertain her. "i wish alby was here..." she sighed and looked around as night fell and she hear howls and froze "Nope nope nope nope nope" she said climbing up a tree and satting on a branch. she layed back on the trunk of the tree hearing the wolves closer and they ran by and she sighed in relief "i might sleep here tonight" she mumbled and layed back closing her eyes slowly falling asleep. "hey! Hey! wake up hurry!" she heard and someone shaking her and she drowzily opened her eyes "wha...." she mumbled seeing a shape not familar and she rubbed her eyes "who are you?". The boy picked her up and started carrying her "Hey put me down!" she shrieked. he laughed "I dont want you getting sick its like -10 degrees out here" he said calmly walking to a nearby cabin. she frowned "But i dont know you how could i trust you..". he frowned and sat her down "simply because of the fact that i just saved your life from freezing to death..." he said and opened the door and let her in. "make yourself at home" Akira heard and looked at his face knowing she seen that face somewhere then she gasped "Oh my god....Alby!". Chapter 5 "alby where have you been i was worried sick and i just got hun-i mean...i just got attacked by a derranged rabbit". Akira said franticly. As Alby laughed making her some soup. "like i said before you need my help squirt." With that Akira grumbled "im 19 its not my fauly you got held back Mr. I Can Drink When Ever I Want" Akira said mockingly. Alby laughed and rolled his eyes. "just sit and rest before you have a heart attack" With that Akira Listened and sat on the leather cot and ate her soup quietly and she looked at the scrub she had on it was now ripped leather Tunic and leggings, Black leather boots, and a cap with gloves. Alby looked at her and sighed "we need to head into town tommarrow to get you out of those and into new clothes." Akira nodded and yawn causing alby to go get a blanket and pillow from the back and give it to her while he controlled the fire for a bit. -Akiras Mind- You know, its funny. how just yesterday Alby and I were arguing over Slices of pizzas at the lunch room at school...Now today we are fighting for survival if we die Everythings over. Alby will be gone, My family, Friends, Me... Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. As Akiras eyes glistened from the fire as she watched it burn she was getting tired and soon closed her eyes and dozed off. Alby blocked the door and went to bed hisself. Not too long after that he Was Fast asleep. ------------- As Time Passed The sun Rose And Ably went into town to get some supplies and clothing and new armor for Akira. Leaving Akira at home alone which didnt bother her one bit. "uhg Alby you cheapskate why did you leave im so lonely..." she said wondering around tossing her feet around and then she sat by the fire. Watching it burn It glistening in her eyes. -Akiras Mind- I know someone is listening i just know it...and if your out there please help... Chapter 6 The door opened with Alby walking in from the outside as normal snowing the Damned blizzard outside. "hey alby" Akira smiled and stood up heating up the soup. "hey Akira i got you something" he said in reply and opened his inventory spawning the items on the Leather Cot. The Items Consisted of a Metal Breast plating, Thick Black and silver Boots. A Thick Leather coat with wool on the hem of the hood, Rogues Leggings which were black and comfy, Leather gloves for the cold and Shoulder plating along with a belt to hold her daggers and potions. -Akiras POV- I smile at the Items "thank you so much alby" i say giving him a hug and go to change since when you equip items it temporarily strips you of your clothing. I come back and warm and cozy. "lets go adventuring" i blurt out causing Alby to laugh. "what? i want to go let me go" i say and Alby sighed. Stainding up and grabbing my hand handing me a potion and a map. "Akira be careful and dont get lost i need you here your the nly person i know and care about honestly" He smiles and I nod "i will ill be back soon" I say and take off outside. I look around outside as the Snow comes down like needles and I close the door. "here we go" i say in excitement "look out work here i come!" i say and take off running through the trees listening to my feet hit the snow and crush. God this is so exciting. After a few hours of exploring i come upon a cave and I obviously go inside. Its dark and creepy but oddly warm inside the cave. "h-hello?" i say weary and grip my daggers and creep around quietly. Suddenly i hear Feint talking and I hide seeing two shadows. I huncker down behind a rock near the entrance of the cave and my eyes widen seeing the two Bandits from Yesterday. i cover my mouth seeing them leave the cave and i wait about 10 minutes and get up going deeper into the cave hoping to find their ''Lair''. Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. I look for a few more minutes and finally find something but it was small...Just a desk a candle and a book with a purple leather cover with white lettering. I pick it up and look at it and put it in my jacket and head to the entrance. I make it out and sigh then i hear the voices and run the other way off the mountain and hope i dont get caught. I hear one yell and sy "footprints!" i get an edrenaline rush and take off running faster than before panting and scared more than i ever was. Hoping they dont catch me. I close my eyes sprinting and Running. I open my eyes back up and see a mint Colored fog around me while i was running. I look around at it and squint then reach out and its like smog but lighter and non-toxic. I think in my head what is this and i just cant get my finger on it. i stop and the fog stops I realise i had already made it off the mountain and far from where the Bandits were I get confused and look at my feet and smile tapping my top of my boots together "this will be useful" Im so Sorry! Hey guys im back from Like 8 months...Im so sorry for that i had no way to make more chapters because i completeky forgot my password and went ahead and reset it and now im doing my best to upload now yet again I am sincerely sorry for everything <3 Chapter 7 -Alyxs POV- I huff and walk the rest of the way holding onto the book in my jacket and look around trying to find my way back. I pull out the map that Alby gave me and i sigh not being able to match the surroundings with the map. So i just put the map back in my bag and keep walking. I hum a small tune while walking making sure the Bandits werent following me. As I pass through the trees i hear a rumble and my heart stops. I keep walking and hear the rumble again and stop not moving at all. As the Rumble gets louder and closer i hop up into the tree hearing the rumble. My heart speeding out of my chest and i see A polar bear. I squint my eyes because the polar bear couldnt possibly make that loud rumble. I hear it again and the Polar bear takes off and i see a Dash Of white and blue under the branch i was in followed by a long tail and the blood of the Polar bear splattered everywhere. I close my mouth and shake in fear as to what it could be and i stay put. trying to find the object that killed the polar bear. I hear A screach almost like a roar up in the sky and i look up and my jaw drops Hot tears falling from my eyes. A-A Dragon....How is this possible no it cant be dragons are only in cave right? right? why is this one out of its cave did it get disturbed? or attacked? My mind flooded with possibilities but i couldnt get my body to move an inch as like i was frozen. i could get ahold of myself and the fear i was stuck in. Then i look down at the blood and Thats what got me moving. I didnt want to end up like the Polar bear. I carefully climb down the tree and scan the area Nothing but snow And Iceburg trees. "fuck where am i alby please...help me" i mutter shaking in fear my weapons werent nearly as strong as what i needed them to be and for gods sake i was only level 5. I shook my head and scanned around i seen smoke in the distance and i huffed taking cover under the tree away from the dragon. This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. I take a deep breath and ran under another one closer to the smoke. One after One After One i went under and made it to a small town which was causing the smoke and i needed to warn them about the dragon. I ran into town and looked for the town hall but found nothing of the sort. Instead i seen a guard and immediately ran towards im "guard Guard...there is a dragon in the sky not far from here about 25 Miles South from here." I pant out of breath. The guard scoffed and laughed "look girly i dont think your head is screwed on streight there hasnt been a dragon in years and im certainly not about to believe that there is one in the sky right now and the information coming from a girl." He said in a mocking tone. I frown and huff "im serious i can do way more stuff that you ever could even if i am a girl. So what girls can be better than guys and i can prove it too. Now you better back down and go check yourself or get this town to safety you hear? im not about to let innocent people die because some ignorant Guard refuses to listen to a girl!" The Guards Jaw Dropped and frowned "alright you win..." he said and grabbed the horn on his belt and blew it Signaling a dragon. the towns people franticly got their belongings and head out away from the town. The Dragons screaching getting closer i decided i better head off to. i look around and take off south trying to find Alby yes i admit i am lost but i could handle it myself there is nothing i can do about it. "okay im going south!" i call out to the guard and everyone heads south and i run off into the foggy blizzard storm. Chapter 8 As I Head south, i breathe out a warm breath making a bit of fog in front of my mouth. Its Quiet... Too quiet. I just shrug it off and act like its normal. i look up at the sky the roars from the dragon getting quieter and quieter. a good thing. "god damnit where is...where is- oh my god...i forgot his name..." i say to myself trying to remember the guys name i came here with the whole reason im here. As i look up i shriek and stop just in time looking down into an abyss from my horse. "what the actual fuck..." i mutter to myself. i stare down to my near death feeling my stomach turn into knots and out of reflex my hand grabs my tunic clenching where my stomach should be.
