New World Online, in short, known as New World, is a famous online MMORPG game. This online game has a special setting, in which the player needs to enter their ID number with nationality and every single detail when register for the game so that each of the players will only have one single account in a lifetime. The reason for this setting is this game is too realistic that when a player died in the game, the game character cannot be revived and retrieved in any way, which mean when your character/avatar died in the game, you will never able log in to the game ever again as your character have died. Also with this setting, there is no banning system in the game, the punishment for players that violate the rules will be either, jailed, confined, or even death sentenced.
Thus with a special setting like that, rumors start to flows among people, which said that when registered the game, you have actually make a contract to put part of the soul in the game, which mean the character in the game is not just your avatar but your counterpart, when you died in the game, that part of you will also die. Some even said that there is a possibility that the real you that played in front of your computer will somehow have chance been transferred and trapped in the game to combined with that part of you in the game to make a complete soul….

(In Sky's house) "So, I wonder how long we have been playing this game?" "I don't know, the only thing I could remember is that quest asking us to play this online game with a huge reward… Can't believe it that will have similar quest like that again, who would even think to pay someone a billion yen in real life for a legendary item in the game…weird." "Aww…my dear Chris-chan do you have to be so serious all the time? Come on! This is an online game! Today's a big event! A legendary dungeon that will only be opened once a three years, and that legendary item can only be found in that dungeon, so it's pretty normal, right? A billion yen." "Nope…" "Ahh..anyway, lets log in the game alright?" "…"
In the New World, you can see two figures in the middle of a deserted area, Sky's game character, Ryu, an armored warrior, and Chris's game character King, a dual blade wielder. Ryu: "Hey! What's the requested legendary item again?" "Uh…a wizard orb I think…" "Ah! Lucky! None of us can use that item right?" "Yes…*look at the clock tower at the city central*Hmm… 5 minutes before the dungeon event started, better get prepared." "Ah yeah! Let's get to the transportation portal then."
Near the transport portal, located in a temple that is isolated from the main town. "So this broken portal is supposed to lead us to the dungeon huh?" " This portal only functional during this legendary event, it looks broken most of the time." "Hell yeah! But King, don't you think it's a bit weird? There are not much people gathered here, usually there will be a big crowd for this kind of event." "Well, come to think of it, this dungeon is extremely dangerous, we almost died the last time we entered it, no one wants to die in the dungeon right? Even more after hearing that kind of rumor." "Ah! Not that again?" Suddenly, the portal glows. "Ha! So it's time huh? Let's go, Chris!" "King, not Chris." "Ah sorry! Bad habit! Let's go!" So they entered that dungeon.
To make the long story short, they reach a chamber with a fire wyvern with an orb on its neck, so they successfully defeated the wyvern and took the orb.…
"So this is the legendary…uh…Merlin's magic orb? What with this stupid naming?" "Don't mind about the naming alright? Let's finish the dungeon and give this to our client alright?" "Alright, alright… You are as serious as ever right King? Just like Chris." "You want me to kill you or what?" "Haha!"…
Sometimes later, Sky's room… "Ah! Finally! I defeated that stupid boss! Hah… That exhausting, I wonder what's bothering Chris? He doesn't behave like himself recently…well, not just him, I guess *suddenly turns gloomy* hmm? Oh! An email… *open up the email*…What's this?!"
The content of the email: "Topic-none Content: Thank you for the orb, I finally gained my freedom, I have banked in the 1 billion, so I'm not in debt with you two anymore right? Like I expected, you two did a perfect job, immortal." "Immortal…how did the person know…cih!* rush to Chris's room only to found out Chris staring blankly to the screen*…Chris…" "So, you got that email too…I see." "Yes…I wonder what could that mean huh?" said Sky while sitting on Chris's bed. "I don't know"…
"Ding~dong.." "Ah! I wonder who will come here at this time?" "I will go open the door.." Chris went downstairs and open the main door…
