Ryko Fujimaru's Story

Ryko blinked, the blackness had turned to white and he had to blink multipule times to get the spots out of his eyes. He looked around and saw that he had landed in Toriyu Forest, one of the many forests in Gamers Universe. He was quite suprised and sat down to contemplate what had happened. He put his head in his hands and tried to think, not noticing what was wrong. what? he thought and lifted his head off his hands. They where boney and he wore a black gown. Holy...!!!! he thought as he fell back I'm my character from Gamers Universe!

Hyuk Ji was sitting legs crossed on a large pillow seat. Beside him were a large set of meal from Burgerkings. His hands swiftly pressing the buttons of the PS3 controller while his mouth was filled with burger pieces and yelling out curses "Die! mother fu--"

Suddenly the lights on the ceiling started to flickered and die. Hyuk Ji, looked up at the lights in panic "No! not power outage!" and the TV screen blanks. "Noooo!!!" Hyuk Ji screamed as if someone he cared about just died. Looking down in sadness, he noticed the PS3 lights was still green and alive. Sound are still coming out of the machine. Hyuk Ji was really confused. He scratched his head and wondered what happened. He squinted his already small eyes and got closer to the TV, grabbed it, and shook it hard.

"live! I beg you! live!!!"

His wish was granted when the TV started to swirled out. Shocked by the incident, Hyuk Ji jumped back in reflex and bumped his back on the wall. His frustration turned into fear as the room started to shake. First, light things was pulled into the black vortex where the TV once stood. Then larger and heavier stuff. Hyuk Ji gripped the door frame to keep him from being pulled but his strength wasn't enough. His gripped loosen and he was launched inside the Black vortex.

First, it was soundless. The view was black. In time, rustling sounds was heard. His view turned from black to red. The rustling has gotten clearer and his view turned white. He noticed it was the sky. He quickly got up and looked around. "my games!" he said, worrying for the safety of his PS3. That was when he noticed that he wasn't in his room. His vision wasn't yet clear. It was blurry but he noticed something else was with him. It looked like skeleton wearing tattered black cloths with a scythe beside it. Hyuk Ji heart beated fast. He wasted no time and ran away as fast as he could towards anywhere as long as it's away.

Suddenly another two flashes and two people showed up Akira?!"Akira...Akira, Wait" he called out to one of his teammates as they fled in fear. "Akira, stop running, its me, Seryu!" He called before Guy came stumbling into them. "Smiley?!" Ryko asked, seriously confused. What the heck is going on here?! he wondered to himself.

While still running, Hyuk Ji looked back toward a voice calling his pet name and notice it was coming out from the skeleton. His vision was already clear and he could make out the skeleton was Ryko's character from the game he was playing earlier on the PS3. He started to stop but wasn't quick enough and ran into a large tree. He stumbled back, in pain, moaning, and fell on the ground. While still laying down, he watched as another character he recognize was one of his friend, Guy's character, Smiley. Hyuk Ji rolled to the left so that he was on his chest. He tried to push himself up and noticed his hands was different. It looked bigger and more muscly. He looked at his cloths and they were different but recognizable. It was his character, Akira's clothing. He turned to look at Ryko and Guy in silent. He said nothing but made a surprised face for a moment before his mouth opened "HOW COOL IS THIS?!" He yelled in excitement. X-D

Ryko smiled, (you couldnt tell), Guy certanly was the jokester of the group. "Yeah, i, myself, can barely swing this thing" he said stunned by the power at his hand. On the computer screen, he would have massive killing spree's with the thing but now he was afraid of hurting himself or the others if he just swung it. "So, do you guys remember where the training ground are?" He asked, he was a bit too stuned for his own good, he couldnt remember his gaming maps.

Ryko followed behind Guy, noticing how the sheep moved away when they got close. Ryko felt a stab of pain when Guy brought that topic up agian, it wasnt one of his fondest memories of playing Gamers Universe. "Hmm" he huffed and smirked back, shaking his head from side to side. He was coming out of his state of shock and remembered the small village. "Oh, what fond memories we had here" he said sarcasticly, remembering how he almost got his head chopped off by Guy when they met.

Ooc: why isn't anyone else posting? X/ X3

The sheep where suddenly kicking out and Ryko was suprised by this he raised his scythe in warning when another suddeno flash lite the area. No one appeared beside them and Ryko wondered why there was another flash. The distraction caused him to forget he was fightingand he was suddenly kicked in the leg. "Hey!" He exclaimed, turningto the sheep. He heard growles in the distance but didnt care. sounds like their far away.

OOC: its great, nice intro Dante

Ryko nodded and ran over to Guy, shifting his scythe into position. The first few moments where a stare down then suddenly one of the wolfs lunged and Ryko swung the scythe up to meet it. Metal sliced into meat and bone in a sickening squelch and blood spattered the grass. it's certainly more gorey when you're actually fighting the things he thought while he flung the wolf off and two more came rushing at him.i think im getting the hang of ... with a crunch, the wolf bit his boney leg and it started cracking. Pain finally made it through the shock and Ryko yelled out. He brought his scythe down on it but it bit harder and the other one grabbed hold of his arm. Now i remember why i hated canines in this game he thought It's just a lot worse now thn it was before

When Dante inches backward, the wolves inch forward. He gets so far back that his back bumps into a tree. Then he hears nearby rustling in the bushes. 'More wolves?' He thought to his self as some other guys came through the bushes. One gave a smart remark on how he was just a normal mage and that he should travel with a melee fighter, which was funny because he looked more like a fighter than a mage. Then it hits him, he can fight back. Dante draws the sword on his back as the other guys begin to help him.

One wolf jumps towards him aiming for his throat. With a quick jab of his sword, Dante stabs into the back of the wolf's throat. There was a slight gagging, and now the wold is motionless. He quickly tried to pry the wolf of the sword before another tried to attack him. He eventually gives up and it and stares down another wolf that is inching towards him. He glanced down at his glove, then at the wolf, and back. "I hope this works!" He yells pulling his hand back.

Magic manifested into the gem and as Dante shot his hand out, the wolf jumped on him, devouring his entire hand... Until the energy was released into the wolf and blew him up from the inside. Blood splattered everywhere as Dante held his now mangled hand and fell on his butt. First there was pain, then his hand was numb. He scooted back to the tree to rest.

Ryko had his chance, he took his fist and rammed it into the beast, knocking it off and causing it to yelp. He slashed the wolf with his scythe and a spray of red shot up and into the grass. The area now looked like a murder scene and Ryko was pretty sure that the game never showed this much gore, mabye its because we're actually in it and not just watching it happen. "Thanks Guy for helping me, you okay?" he asked, looking his freind from head to toe. He turned to look at Dante. "Hey, you all right?" he called to the huddled figure bleeding, man, i'm kind of glad i don't bleed he thought while looking at the blood and bodies strewn around. The wolfs started to dissapear and left items behind but Ryko would care about that later, he had two bloodied companions that needed healing.


Items:
3 vials of HP
1 Dagger
4 vials of MP

OOC:...............Hmmm. Ya know? * me. Okay, i'm going to add stuff to our characters profiles. Sorry.

OOC: We all know each other correct?

"Thanks mom" Atticus exclaimed as he bolted towards his room, "About time, iv'e been wanting to play for a while" he pulls up his chair and adjusts his headphones. "Lets do this". It seem'd as though everything was normal, but it wasn't, when Atticus clicked the Log In button his room started shaking, it felt like the ground beneath him was tearing apart. Uh... He quickly stood and ran for the door, when suddenly he fell.

Head spinning Atticus tried to sit up, everything was dark with white spots. He tilted his head upwards only to worsen his vision he quicklly put his hands over his eyes and regained his vision. He placed one hand on the ground and noticed that it was grass, I'm outside? He was utterly confused. He had sheathed swords on both his sides. He looked at his hands only to see that he had gloves on, he took one off and noticed that his skin was pale. He took a look around, and pulled out his sword. After 5 seconds of looking at it he knew where he was, he was inside his game. He was Nightlock.

Off in the distance he heard, he saw blood splattering in the air and he dashed forward. He ran and noticed 3 people, above their heads he could see cursors and names, Senryu Dark and Smiley. Atticus approached carefully, he noticed that they were injured, "Uh hey" he said catiously wondering if its the same people he met while playing the game.

"I'm fine" he said to Guy, pulling out a potion and drank it. It's interesting how liquids stay inside me he noted. "We're alright Atticus" he added, feeling the pain fade away. "That's a good question and so far, we don't have an answer, but i can tell you, i hope none of the Raiders come" he told Atticus. "Have you guys noticed that so far our whole group has been dropping in one by one?" he asked them.



OOC: The raiders are a group who like to kill and steal things from other people. They got us once before...

Ryko followed after Guy. "Umm, actually, Atticus, there are two more people who haven't shown up yet" he said "there's Alexander and (Gladis's character name here)". Ryko wished he hadn't told the group to login today, he had thought it would be cooler to do it on holloween and it certainly was, but in a way that scared all of them. How will we get back?. They soon entered the small town of Lilliare and they where greeted by NCP's of all sorts. "Get your swords here!""We have any potion you could need""Want special wares?" the NCP's would call. And i thought it was annoying when i was playing on the computer!

OOC: I need everyone to go to the Intorduction page and look at the character skele. I changed some things and need you to edit your characters.
AND i need a name for our group...(every group signs a waver in the game and they have a group name EX: The Raiders)

Hyuk Ji was busy admiring himself that he didn't notice that Smiley and Ryko had left him. He looked around, seeing he was alone. "did I got left behind?" he thought out loud.

Some time passed but Hyuk Ji still didn't manage to find his friends. He wondered alone in a strange world in his avatar body. While searching, he tried to think how he came to be in the game world. He thought about the black vortex that sucked him in and the sudden darkness. It hurt his head thinking but can't seem to thought of any logical answers. He closed his eyes and placed his head on his hands, feeling frustrated. Suddenly something crashed in front of him, shaking the ground. Hyuk Ji opened his eyes and saw it was a giant white wolf with wings, roaring in his face. The creature was the boss that he and his friends were fighting before Hyuk Ji was sucked into the black vortex.

The winged white wolf started to lunge itself at Hyuk Ji. Surprised, Hyuk Ji rolled to the left, dodging the white winged white wolf's attack. Hyuk Ji quickly got up and ran to get some distance between him and the beast. He remembered that the bosses life was almost depleted and it would only take a few powerful spell to knock it dead.

How do I cast spells? Hyuk Ji tried to think

The winged white wolf didn't chase after Hyuk Ji but seemed to be collecting light in it's mouth.

"shit!" Hyuk Ji yelled while spreading his legs, preparing to dodge the coming attack from the beast.

The beast shot white ray from it's mouth aiming at Hyuk Ji. At the last minute, Hyuk Ji jumped left and managed to dodge the rays. Hyuk Ji rolled a few times on the ground and panted while laying on his back, looking at the beast. The beast was standing still, recovering from the big attack that it just made. Worried that the beast would lunge a second time at him, Hyuk Ji quickly got up.

I hope this works he thought as he tries to do the movement that he remembers his character does while casting a spell in the game. He spread put his legs together, his right arm forward and his left arm to his sides and slightly lifted up. He imagined a giant fire ball and fire started to appear hovering in mid air in front of him while a blue glowing sigil appeared on the ground under him. The fire started to grow and become a sphere with fire moving swiftly inside of it. He flicked both his arms forward then back while screaming "Fire ball!" The fire ball was hurled at the beast and combust as it made contact. The beast roared in pain, and fell on the ground as it burned. It rolled around for a while before stopping, motionless.

Hyuk Ji panted as he knelled on one knee. I can't believed that worked.

Sweat filled Hyuk Ji's face and body. He was breathing fast and heavy, tired. The dead creature started to disappear, leaving somethings behind. Hyuk Ji hopped to it while singing "item~ item~ item~". He examined the items and recognize on of it is a rare material. He stood and held the giant white pelt and thought now where do I put this item?

After a while, Hyuk Ji tried to remember the game map and traveled to the nearest town while using the white pelt as a cape. The city was noisy with merchants promoting their wares and services. He looked around and noticed avatars he recognized. He quickly dashed in front of the group.

"You left me alone in a strange land!" He said furiously while looking at Smiley and Ryko.

It saddens Hyuk Ji that Guy seemed to felt no guilt for leaving him behind to survive on his own but he decided to let it pass. He took a deep breath to relax and spoke.

"Was everybody sucked into the game or is it just me?"

OOC: Hmm... Okay! So vote for your favorite:
1) Grinders
2) Midnight Guardians
3) Vanguard Knight's
4) Silver Rebels
5) Dusk Slayers
6) Toy Soldiers
OH! BTW: Everyone has their characters in! We can begin the moment they join and find us!

Ryko sighed, so far everyone was showing up. It was getting dark, "We should find somewhere to stay for the night, even if we're not going to sleep" he said to the group. He didn't remember if Lilliare had any good inns and wanted to find a map. When they played the game, there was always a map in the upper left hand corner but they didn't have that conveinience at the moment.

While everybody was worried about a place to sleep, Raiders, and figuring out how to control their bodies, Hyuk Ji was worrying how to get back. He looked at everyone hoping someone would suggest to find a way to get back home but no one did. He decided to speak up.

"We really should find a way to get back to the real world" He said with a firm tone "Aren't you guys a little bit worried?" He questioned and continued "This is all very mysterious and confusing..."

While speaking out, Hyuk Ji felt his throat drying. He was getting thirsty but it wasn't thirst for water. He was suddenly silent and started to stare at Dante's neck. Hyuk Ji started to walk to Dante in a trance. The trance broke off as Hyuk Ji shook his head and look at Dante in panic.

"I think I'm thirsty for blood" He said to Dante as he took out a blood filled vial from his pouch with his trembling hand. He pulled the cork with his teeth and drank it quickly, spilling some blood on his chin and on the newly acquired giant winged white wolf pelt.

Ryko nodded to Guy and Dante, it was a great idea. Hyuk Ji had asked how they would get back, and Ryko didnt have aan answer. Hyuk Ji stiffened and, in a trance like state, started walking towaards Guy. Ryko emediatly saw the signs and was about to stop him when he snapped out and drank a vial of blood. Ryko couldnt help but be discusted, the smell and look of blood was enough for him, but to drink it was going over the line.

He stepped into position, scythe angled slightly so the shaft was behind his back and the knife was curved out in front, passing over his feet. When he played the game at home, people.would comment on how his character looked like the grimreaper and most people saw him fighting and ran, scared that Ryko waas going to come for them.

"You kill me, when I come back, you are so dead!" Guy said half serious to and answered Hyuk Ji's recent question "I have no idea how to get home, and frankly. I like it here"

"I agree with Guy, I like it here... its fun being a powerful being" Atticus said and smiled

Hyuk Ji finished his blood filled vial and wiped his mouth and chin with his shirt's sleeve, staining it with red blood then turned to look at the group, a little disappointed.

"Hm.. I've never had human blood before... surprisingly, it tastes good" Hyuk Ji shrugged.

Hyuk Ji watched as Guy, Ryko, Dante, and Atticus walked into the darkness. Thanks to Hyuk Ji vampire abilities, he could see in the dark like it was day. From where he was standing, it seemed that the four had found another player control character.They bullied the poor guy before murdering him and gathering fallen loot. Hyuk Ji just shook his head, ashamed of what his friends were doing.

Hyuk Ji walked to up to the group just in time to hear Dante's angry rattle and telling the group to leave the items for the person to reclaim it.

"if you guys leave the items, it will just disappear in time" explained Hyuk Ji. He lifted his hand forward and imagined fire. Bright fire appeared hovering on his palm, lighting up the area, to able his friend to see better . "How about I revive him with one of my Life Essence?"

(Life Essence is a revival item)

"Well I guess it doesn't matter now. The body is gone, so I guess the player has already appear in his checkpoint" Hyuk Ji stopped for a while and thinked "Let's just get away from here. If I were him, I would call my higher level friends and get back at my murderers"

Hyuk Ji followed Guy. He didn't want to get slain for something he did not commit. While walking, he thought of something.

"Guys" he called "There is a server maintenance every week right?" He questioned with a worried voice, hoping to get an answer "what do you think will happen to us when that happens?"

Hyuk Ji's thoughts filled with gore. He imagined

He and the rest of the team was in somewhere dark but their body can be seen clearly, spotlight shining down on them. Their limbs suddenly being torn and shredded by unseen forces. Blood everywhere and then they disappear, reprogrammed.

He thought of his parents. Would they miss him if he was dead? He thought 'I'm only 16! I don't wanna die yet!' he clenched his hands. He silently try to think of how to get back to the real world.
