1 Blue Flower

In the year of 2021, a VR MMORPG has been released and the game name was UtopiaFantasia. The game was a big hit for the first two years but in the year of 2024, the number players have been decreased because there were many better games and the NPC doesn't have even have an intelligent to think and had been a program by the game developer. Since the developer of the game doesn't want the game to die, the developer created an event that was to seek the blue flower petal that can grant any wish. The event saved the game but eventually, players give up to search for it because it was so hard to find it and some people think it was just a fake event to call back old players back to play the game again. Still, there were many players tried to search this blue flower petal.

It's been two years since Arias still searching for the blue flower petal and many of his friends have already given up on searching for it. Arias still believed that he can find it because he wanted to see NPC has its own will and intelligence. This because Arias has fallen in love with an NPC. It happens when Arias was doing a quest that was to rescue Princess Elna from the evil prince. After completing the quest, Princess Elna give Arias a ring as a token of appreciation

\"Thank you for a hero and I will never forget your bravery when you rescue me from the evil prince and I will talk to my father because I wanted to marry you even thou you just a knight.\" saying that with smiled.

From that moment Arias fell in love and escort Princess Elna to the Lineage Kingdom. As soon he arrives, he waited for Princess Elna to tell her father but nothing happens. At that moment Arias realized that it was all fake, NPC doesn't have any feelings and they all have been programmed. Arias feels hopeless and suddenly a notice appears telling Arias if he wanted to retake the quest. Without hesitation, Arias quickly say yes because he wanted to see Princess Elna smile to him again. After one year's Arias level has reached level 150 because of the consisted online time.

A few months later, Arias began to give up and wanted to quit the game as he realized that this was meaningless. Arias's motivation has risen because he saw the event that will make any wish comes true within the game. He devoted himself to find the blue flower petal just for his love.

Sadly for the past two years, Arias couldn't find the flower. Arias felt hopeless again, he checks all his map to see whether there are other places that he has not been yet. He noticed one area that still hasn't been discovered yet by him. He quickly mounts his horse and went to the place. As Arias arrives there, he sees nothing but a huge boulder in that area. He began to search for it but he never finds it. Arias felt frustrated, he leans back to the huge boulder. Suddenly, he hears a big roar coming from in front of him. He was shocked to see a big bear coming toward him and most likely would attack Arias. Arias attack with sword and magic but nothing seems to damage the bear. As the bear has become near to Arias, the bear suddenly vanished as Arias began to hear something opening up from behind. He turns backward and saw the huge boulder has a hidden door behind it.

\"You have passed the test that been given to you like the previous four-player, enter the door to gain the blue flower petal\" Then the mysterious voice vanished.

After hearing the mysterious voice, Arias enters the hidden door and he found a Spriggan holding the blue flower petal in its arms.

\"Here is your rewards, Please step into the circle to make you wish \" Tell the spriggan to Arias. Arias step on the circle and think about what he should wish, he could wish that Princess Elna to have loved him back and marry him but Arias thought it would be better if all the NPC have its intelligence. \"I wish that all the NPC were like a player.\" Arias made his wish.

After Arias made the wish, the flower disappeared. Arias waited a few minutes but nothing happens. He thinks that the spriggan will come to talk to him but the spriggan just stood there. He feels that he was being deceived by the game developer and he wanted to tell anyone that this event was fake. When he entered the global chat, Arias was disconnected within the game as he only saw a black screen and disconnected text in front of him, he thinks that maybe his internet connection was having a problem. Suddenly he was connected back to the game as he was in the Town of Baroda. He feels weird about how he was teleported here and think maybe this was some kind of bug that happens in the games.

Arias see all the NPC acted differently because the NPC move a lot and interact with other NPC than before. Suddenly a hand was placed in Arias's shoulder. \" Hey, mister! Try out our inn. We have delicious food and the coziest bed in this town with a great price \" says a female NPC to Arias.

Arias seems confused as NPC never tried to promote their inn before and realized that his wish has come true. \" Mister do you listening to me ? \" shouted the female NPC to Arias. \"Sorry, I will give it think first \" as Arias began to walk away. When Arias wanted to tell his friends about the NPC, he noticed that all his friends were offline. He opens up the global chat but there was a notice in his game log telling that he was disconnected from the game. Arias feels panic and tries to log out the game but couldn't log out from the game, every time he clicks the logout button an error message appears in front of him.

Arias realized that maybe he has been transferred to this game, Arias was in the state of panic and tried to check other features of this game still working. All other features work fine but the map has been reset as all the map was blank and just the Town Baroda added to the map. Arias tried to use the fast travel function and the teleporter item but it does not seem to work. Arias was convinced that he has been transferred to this world. He calms himself for a few minutes a began to think. Arias doesn't know what to do but then he remembers why he wishes for this and it is because he wanted Princess Elna to be saved and loved by him. He still remembers that he must go to the Lineage Kingdom to get the quest that will be given by the kings himself. Arias knows that the Lineage Kingdom was located west from the Town Baroda. Arias couldn't use the fast travel function so he thought an alternative that was he must buy a horse in the stable outside Town Baroda. Arias realized that this will be the biggest thrilled in his whole life.
