Episode 1: New game New life
••••••
BANG! The shot rang out in the dark of the night, no one could tell where it had came from. A female was towering above all on a telephone pole, her snow white hair was flowing with the strong wind as her stone cold ocean blue eyes we're looking down upon a group of men.
"You who stole the dragon stone, we will give you hell to pay!" One of the five men shouted at her in anger, he was the cause of the loud bang as he tried to shoot her but missed.
"An eye for an eye is what they say right?" She replied in a sharp tone of voice. Each of the men flinched as she glared at each one of them.
One of the men stepped up, "If you come back with us and return what you stole, then we might forgive you."
She sneered a smile, "If you forgive a wolf for eating your chickens then he shall take your sheep."
"This isn't play time! Give us back the dragon stone or face consequences!" another of the men yelled pointing their gun at her.
"You guys really want it back that badly?" She teased and she pretends to drop it.
"Girl, you do not know the consequences if you just drop it so carelessly." the man said slightly afraid
Ignoring them, the girl looked towards the North seeing something come her way. "Well gentle men, It was lovely to meet all of y'all. I must go now, so bye." She leaned off the pole with a giantic Raven catching her from falling.
Each of the men watched as they both took off. "Damn! We should've shot her when we had the chance."
"That wouldn't have worked, even if we tried." The voice of their general leader spoke out, coming out of the shadows.
"Why is that, Sir?"
"Look closely at the bird."
The men all squinted their eyes at the retreating figures. The bird noticed their gaze from far away, and turned it's head towards them, staring at them with its left eye. Then men all gaped as they saw a raging flame in it's eye and soon realization hit them. "Wait a minute... that's the...."
"Yes. It's the divine Phoenix."
"I don't get how a legendary Phoenix has something to do with that girl?" one of the men questioned
"Think about it. Mr.Rodriguez tried to shoot her, but missed? Rodriguez is known for his sharp eye and never misses a target, plus the gun he's holding always locks down on it's target. So how did she miss his bullet?"
"The only way she could have is....! Wait! So you're saying that she..."
"Yes, no doubt. That girl is the one from the legends the one with the Phoenix fate....
and the one who shall rule the heavens."

The Raven landed gracefully near a pond, The girl got off of the Raven and took out the dragon stone she put in her pocket when the men weren't looking.
"Well, it's about that time Raven." She said looking into the birds pitch black eyes, "I'll be right back." She motioned with her left hand and three buttons came up, the top said "Setting", the middle said "Profile" and the last one said "sign out". She clicked the bottom and she disappeared from that world and into reality.
"Ahhh" She sighed in relief as she took of her VR headset "Another game another life." she said and relaxed out on her comfy bed.
She turned her head and looked out the window seeing that it's half past ten. "I guess I'll eat." she said to herself and got up to go down stairs. She was already at the bottom of the stairs when she sighed in loneliness.
'You should be use to this Xiaoling'
She thought to herself shaking any sad feelings she was having. Xiaoling was always alone, since her parents died at a early age, of seven. Luckily by then she actually was more mature than a average kid, she understood what most did not. Xiaoling is now fifteen, she graduated school at the age of fourteen and her grandfather is paying for her house.
Reasons for her grandfather not being there was because he has too many things to deal with at once and he wanted her to not get caught up in the messes he made. Xiaoling began making some ramen noodles that came in a cup, but then heard a commotion coming from her room.
"What the hell...?"
She tipped toed to her bedroom and slightly peeked through the open the door, her eyes widen in shock as she saw the dragon stone on her bedroom floor. A bright light took over the stone, engulfing the entire house. Xiaoling vision went black as she was getting sucked into another world.

Xiaoling woke up half in a river, she sat up with a huge headache. She grabbed her head in pain.
'What the hell happen? My head is pounding.'
Xiaoling looked at her surroundings of the forest and she then realized where she had been transported to. "No. No. No!" She could recognized the ancient trees from anywhere. "This is impossible! I'm inside my game!?"
She raised up her left hand and three buttons popped up. "Oh thank the heavens." She tried to click 'sign out' but a noise popped out instead with a cancel sign over it.
'You've got to be kidding me! I'm stuck in this game!'
Xiaoling let out a sigh as she sat down looked at the smaller river creek. Wait, If I'm inside my game, then am I still the same character? She thought as she clicked her profile and nearly died out of shock. Her name was the same, but her looks we're different and she had no cultivation. She grabbed her now black hair in frustration and her crimson red eyes had fury in them.
'What the hell! Did I actually transfer into this game?! I have to restart at square one again! I was at a Level 12 Rank 13 master! Are you kidding me?! I was basically a god since I was at the limit! Why do I have such bad luck!'
Xiaoling was throwing a mini temper tantrum, stomping all over the ground. She sighed knowing that it was silly to throw a tantrum. "Power isn't everything, Xiaoling. Remember that." She whispered to herself taking a big deep breath in and releasing it.
Xiaoling, now back at her calm state, began to get up and wonder around the giant forest, huge vines we're wrapped around the big ancient trees with leaves so thick they blocked out any sun light and animals scrambling across the forest floor each step Xiaoling took.
"What am I to do now?" She asked herself with a sigh
"Hey."
Xiaoling stopped, hearing a voice. "Whose there?" she asked turing around but saw no one.
"Hey."
'What the...?'
"Behind you."
She turned and looked back, her eyes widen as she looked at the creature. It was a tiny female fairy, she had long golden waves with a braid around the top of her head, forest green eyes with long pointed ears, wearing a off the shoulder sea green dress and a flower crown. The fairy was barefooted standing at three inches tall.
"A fairy?" She asked receiving a nod from the tiny creature
"My name is Isa, I am a nature fairy and also your private fairy. No one but you can see me now, I will also be giving you mission's to go on and will answer any question you want to ask." The fairy said
"Why am I here?" Xiaoling asked with her crimson eyes locking onto the forest green eyes.
Isa looked at her, in confusion. "What are you talking about? It's because you belong here." Isa simply said
Xiaoling was even more confused, "What? No I don't, I belong on Earth."
Isa paused before talking again, "So, you truly do not remember?" She said with a hint of sadness in her eyes
"Remember what?" Xiaoling asked
"Excuse me for my rudeness, Mi'lady." Isa said bowing So it appears the rumors are true
"Mi'lady? What's up with that?" Xiaoling asked "And what do you mean I bel-"
Xiaoling sentence was soon cut off by a loud and ferocious roar, "First mission, kill the level 1 rank 5 beast."
"What?"
"You will be rewarded with points, to help you level up." Isa said
"huh?"
"The beast is currently, 10 meters away. You have 24 hours to complete this task. Kill the beast."
"How do I kill it? I don't even have anything on me?"
Isa stared at her for awhile before replying "5 meters away."
"?!"
'Are you kidding me?!'
Xiaoling was feeling rushed as she picked up a stick.
"Are you going to kill the beast with that?" Isa asked with a deadpan face, pointing at the small stick that Xiaoling held in her hands.
"Shut up."
"Currently 1 meter away."
Hearing the sound of animals scattering across the forest, she braced herself for the beast. She could hear the beast foot steps, as they became closer and closer. She looked up at the beast as it's shadow covered her's. In the next chapter, Beast vs human. Let's see who shall win.
