2 Chapter 1

Talor

My phone starts to play Dollhouse which means it's Jada, I answer my cyan blue LG G4, "hello"

"Hey, can you meet me at my house before Martial Art class" she asks.

"Sure," I answer

She hangs up, I walk into my bathroom with sweats, new boxers, and a T-shirt. I turn the water on lukewarm, I step into the tile shower and I start to lather my body with Vanilla sugar soap that always soothes me. I wash my hair with tresemme, I step out of my shower. I pull on a pair of underwear, sweats, and tee shirt on. I look at the second draft of my second book which I named Throne Of Shadows, the first book was a real hit since I get letters a month from people wanting for the second book of the Nightgate series. I walk out my room with my lights turning off, I walk down my spiral stairs that is sometimes a pain going up and down, I put my leather bomber on with my black and blue beanie and I head next door to Jada's house that is styled like homes in her mother's motherland of Italy. I knock on the polished oak door carved with dragons and phoenixes, the ancient beats, the door swings open to reveal Jada's mom, Jasmine, I hug her slim frame and she says in her sweet voice, " salut chérie"

" Bonjour mère, qui est parlé le langage de l'amour" I say in French.

" Ma langue est une langue régulière, Tálor" she replies with a smile.

I walk up the stairs in the far right end of the house, passing many of the pictures of Jada's Ancestor, Jasmine tells us that they were great men before they die. Jada was blow drying her hair in her vogue makeup mirror, she probably just got down showering before I got here, She'll probably put her makeup on, since she doesn't like to be without her makeup. "Jada, put that makeup on quick, we're going to be late for class and I swear I will never get you anymore presents for your birthday. "

"Chill Tálor, I have to be perfect for this day since you're going to be a black belt after you beat Koji's ass" she replies with a laugh.

"Then hurry up and put that makeup on before I drag you out to my car and drive to class without your precious makeup" I say with a evil grin

"You wouldn't dare Tálor because you know that I'll judo flip you on your ass, " Jada replies.

"Fine, just hurry up," I tell my best friend.

I leave Jada's house and I walk to my car which was a Ford Mustang Fastback. Jada hops into the car after a couple minutes, running from the house with her sandals making a flapping sound. When she gets into the Ford, she turns towards me and says "it's our last year in high school before college, woo hoo. I can't wait to go to Iowa State with you and move into a dorm. "

"I know, we can finally forget about these jerks in town" I say with a smirk.

"Talor, let's get smoothies since Class doesn't start until 11:30 and it's 10:30, so we would have a hour before class begins," Marie tells me.

"Fine, Jada" I give in to her badgering

We stop at the best smoothie show, Jada walks into Serenity which is in my opinion the best smoothie place ever. We walk into the black building that had people bustling in there, I hear laughter while I wait for Jada, I look inside to see her ordering, I groan at the slowness, I hear a low, gruff laugh. What is Koji doing here, I hate that asian he always thinks he's cool when he bullies people. "Hey Tálor, still level 5" Koji mocked

"No I'm level 35 thank you and you better back off or the fake king Tavon is going to pay with his blade" I quote Tilia's signature line

"Sorry, but you're not Tilia, You're a wannabe who needs to-" Koji replies.

"At least, my friends don't talk behind my back and at least I'm a candidate for valedictorian" I cut him off

"At least my friends don't pity me" He replies rudely.

Jada comes out and says "Koji, leave my friend alone or your ass is mine"

"Only, if you get down on your knees nd beg," Koji says.

Why that piece of shit, he's so gross. "Ignore the pig" I whisper to Jada's left ear.

Jada smiles at me and knees Koji in his dick and says with a hair flip, "your dick is a millimeter long."

I'm Tálor, there's a 3 parts of me that no one knows and I intend to keep it that way because if anyone found out, it would make Koji, who is football captain, bully me even more, so I tend to avoid him since he still wants believe he's Tilia's descendant, Tilia was my first after my orginal was deleted by the system, but this beta character lost shamefully to Koji, who continually rubs salt into he wound in front of my former guild that crumbled. I couldn't show my face as him after that fight, so I created my current that is level 397 since I played Nightgate for the 10 year beta since Night Corporation gaming gave all top smartest and strongest guys the beta download which includes Palm high school in the LA state. The ones who were chosen came out except King Tilia's player that goes here which was me, he was level 220 when I put his spawn point in Detroit, Michigan. Jada is my best friend here, she's a guild master in Nightgate as a level 378 Arcanist, we connected when we played Nightgate, people on there called us 'The Wild Dragons' which was how she made her guild which was Moon Dragon. Back to the present now, Jada gave me my strawberry and banana milkshake like nothing happened and there's no groaning boy in front of us, so let's pretend with her. "You know me so well, how's your Caramel blast" I say with certainty

"It's good" she replies with a smile.

Her phone beeps and plays her ringtone, she pulls her sunset color LG G6 out, she wakes it up and enters her password which was 9954 which is her favorite set of numbers since its the number of times she was on the forums. she looks at her notification and says, "Monica says hey and that I have forms to fill out."

We stopped at the 4th intersection to our dojo, I decide to joke with Jada sinc ei'm dying of boredom, "So, you and Koji."

"No way" Jada eye widens to plates.

I laugh at her beginning to say everything she hates about Koji, we walk across the intersection to our street corner dojo as she breaths and relaxes while making 'OK' signs with hands, we put our shake cups in the corner trash bucket. We enter into the sweaty Dojo, we see Koji, who I have no idea got here so quick. He's sword fighting with his 6 friends, who are only orange belts, I walk to the right sided men locker room, I change into my white gee and tied my blue belt as my mind raced into thought.

If I win, then I can pour salt into Koji's wound, I'm going to enjoy hitting him with my kendo sword, I must beat that asshole to get that sweet satisfaction. I leave the locker room to prepare with my kendo sword in my right hand with my long ebony hair in a ponytail, so it doesn't get in front of my face. Jada was in front of the locker room with her pink and black gee and black belt with her holster that had her sheath glued sword attached to the thin holster. I stepped onto the mat with Koji glaring at me like I was moldy piece of meat with disgust and anger, I wanted to return his glare, but I remember a angered mind doesn't win. I had both hands on my practice sword that sensei gave me, its tip pointing at Koji, I slashed diagonally at Koji ribs, He blocked smugly, he turned and gloated, I knee his back. Big mistake if you don't watch me, I'll find ways to break you mentally. I deliver a smooth handle smash to his temple as I use my right hand, I flip the black haired Asian on to the mat and I bar his arms with my knee on his ribs. He tries to break free, but I palm strike his nose with the hold locked in, my left palm which causes a crack sound in , he screams out as I let go. Sensei takes him to the infirmary, he walks back and gives me my black belt. I'm literally jumping with joy as the black belt enters my vision, I hug Jada, she always believed in me even if she lost most of her friends when she wanted to be friends with the resident gay boy. I hugged her and said "thank you bestie"

"Hey you can repay me by eating my portion of my sister's brownies" she smirks evilly.

She knows that her sister's brownies are like concrete, they broke kid's tooth once, she shrugs as if she knows my though process which she does. I shake my head, "you can lose teeth not me."

"You owe me," Jada pouts.

"Fineeee" I groan at my smiling best friend.

"Class is close since I don't really have a lesson plan," Sensei says.

"Hai Sensei," we answer him.

Jada and I walk out still in our karate uniforms, we catch the one thirty bus. "Hey Tálor" said the bus driver.

"Hey uncle Eliot," I reply.

The bus driver smiles and drives down the street and takes a right down Grass Lane, I smile at Jada and say "thanks for being my friend"

"No problem, Bálor" she replies.

"Stop nicknaming me after Finn Bálor our names are different," I tell Jada.

"hey don't judge me, I'm a WWE holic, I cannot help it he's so hot. I want to marry that beef cake," Jada replies daydreaming.

She was right, he is a Beefcake, we spend the ride, talking about the new update to Night Gate, wht new maps it will bring. The bus stop on our block, we get off with a hug to my uncle. I love my uncle, he's so nice to me. "See ya on Nightgate," Jada says.

"See ya Moon Dragon" I say to Jada.

I walk to my mansion, I look at the door to see a note of lined notebook paper that read

'Dear son,

We went on the music tour early, Jada can come over if you like. Order something with that credit card we gave you.

Love,

Your Mom and Dad'

Great, they promised me that they will not leave until September 21st which was tomorrow. I walk to my room that was a dark red in the dark, so I turn the light on and the light red that had gold lines on the wall. I sit on my bed , I grab the gold visor and I simply say "Nightgate."

I zoom into my game body on a hill overlooking tube Sosa that people zoomed in within the city, I walk down the hill to the city of Sosa's 2nd outer wall as my level displays forever in front of me level 600 ArchBishop. The wall circle the massive city, the gate had two guards, who stopped me. "Only citizens of Sosa allowed," said the left guard, who was a Adonis, his armor clung to every muscle on his torso and lower half of his body.

"I'm King Tyr you fools" I yell in my King Tyr voice.

They shake as they recall legends about me which is sad that people shake at knowing my name, I laugh and ask them, "do you want to be my next legend"

I used my right hand to draw Oathbreaker, Scimitar of Pride from my Bag of Heavenly Gods, the bag glowed as the blade appeared out of the gold silk bag, I immediately shot my right hand out to my right side at their necks and slashed with the speed like meteors through the starless, dusk sky. I'm sick of people looking down on me, I may look small and weak, but I'm a deadly reaper when I want to be I went through the gate to the market street that was extra crowded today. I saw Koji telling another group how he as King Tilia beat the evil hacker, who used Tilia's character to control everyone.

"Koji, stop lying about being me" I say to Koji bursting his bubble.

"Sorry bud, but I'm Tilia," Koji replies, "You're just a novice probably hacked your way to the top"

"I'll take you on with neophyte gear" I tell him with a straight look.

"Okay, bring it you novice" Koji smiles.

I used my basic katana, Storm, Blade of the 4 Winds, I slashed with a leap at his side, but he sidestepped with a grab of my blade just as I predicted. I twisted my body in my leap for a side kick that made Koji gasp, but he didn't let the blade go. Koji elbowed my rib while I was doing my side kick, knocking me down, causing a sharp gasp of air to exit my lungs through my mouth. Koji hit felt like being hit with a sledgehammer, but Koji didn't stop with one hit. Koji raises his blade upward the black jagged blade with red gem stream down the main blade while the 2 other jagged blades were black with no accessories that could control the user if they were weak minded. The blade comes down on my shoulder with a crunch signaling that it went through my shoulder bone pinning it like a voodoo doll against the brick that the blade also went through. Shit, why does this hurt so much, I feel tears brim my vision while a few slip out, I wanted to cry since it stabbed through my shoulder blade, but I can't or i'll be called weak. But I shouldn't have felt the pain since the pain absorption function eliminates any pain you may feel from the action. I need to get his weight of me, I kick his right knee with my left leg that makes him fall on his back dazed, I pulled the blade by its small jagged blade up causing me to feel more tears grow at my brim as he snatches the blade from my tepid, bloody hands, I bring Storm in one fluid movement to my neck and I cut my neck to activate Storm's ability that causes crimson marks to appear on me, the ability, increase every one of my stats increased 2 fold. I will kill anyone, who ever makes me feel that pain again. I raise Storm for a diagonal slash to Koji, who quickly blocks sloppily, I kick his gut after he sloppily blocked, Koji kicks my foot at the same time to try to force me back, but I use the force to flip myself backwards, then I use a speed talisman from my bag to boost my speed 2 fold again. I leap at Koji like a bullet, slashing in every direction wildly when I was in punching distance, I realize that Koji isn't blocking his hip, so I target his hib, but I keep slashing wildly until I found a opening his defense, I sneak a stab into my combo at his hip and I pull my sword from his hip that was glistening in blood which makes him kneel and hold the wound, so the blood would slow down. I leap up and spin down with a downward slash to his head. Koji's eyes turned blank white as his blade drops to the ground with a loud 'clang', his body glows as a familiar white beam of light shoots at my bag with dots traveling through it, then I blast his sword with a Holy Blast which cleanses it and makes the sword turn snow white. I wiped my mouth and said "Ruela"

My body is soon envelop in a warm, tingling feeling that closed my cuts, heals my injuries from the fight. I feel more powerful, I reach into my bag to retrieve the blade of King Tyr — Betrayal, Soul of Conquered Worlds— the custom made handle was made for my hand to rule, its also the system's gift for deleting my first character. "I'm the king of Sosa, the king of elements, I'm King Tyr, you will respect me," I shout.

I walk away from the body of Koji, peopel part my way, but I'm too focused on the swarming questions in my head like Why did he disperse into data and why did I get his gold, equipment, and items. My head achs with a unbearable pain that send me more into a flurry of questions that only the GM knew, so I opened my menu with a clap and spreading my hands out for a small menu to it. The contact Gm button was gone, this is so weird. I teleport to Jada which for some reason takes me longer than usual, I am ported onto her couch as I said, "hey, Sun dragon"

"Hi Moon Dragon" she replies.

She reads and signs some papers, but out of nowhere, she leaps on me, saying, "can you please join our guild Tálor"

"No, if i wanted a guild I would start my own, then combine with yours" I said.

She pouts as a message from Ryan, who was a close companion in Twin Foxes of mine came to my screen is weird, he never messages me unless something happened, I look at the color of the envelope notification which is red which means the message is urgent. I open the message to read "Tálor, please help me the sextuplets are gone and I can't find them. I'm at The Empress at the western part of Sosa. Please hurry."

"Jada, it's Ryan. I'll see you at 6 remember movie night," I reminded her.

"Okay go help Ryan," Jada smiles.

I go to Ryan's profile to see the teleport button is gone, what is up with this game today. I turn back to Jada and ask, "the teleport button is gone, so can I use one of your AeroCycle"

"Bring it back in one piece," she said

"Yes Ma'am, but that only happened once," I answer with a salute and my heels clicking together

I walk to her door, but before I leave, I throw a small, Burnt Umber brown drawstring bag with 20 Inti and said "that's for showing me the ropes."

"Tálor, You're my only true friend, who didn't use me for fame and fortune" She says.

"Take it Mars" I reply.

"You thank me for being my friend, but I should thank you for being my friends since I was so close to overdosing" She whispers so softly, I barely heard it.

"Jada, we both are good friends not just me" I reply.

I walk through the door that was held with one of my hands, I speed walk down the dark golden colored Nacolt stairs that gleamed like they just been polished. I turn right at the bottom to see the familiar amber brown door, I open it to see Jada's fastest Aerocycle—The Rage MK 12—the fastest cycle in the game ever, they were ban, but they still sell them on the black market. I hopp onto the cycle that gleam crimson red with lightning purple streaks on the sides, I throttle the cycle and zoom out of the garage with a loud VROOM, I love the vehicles in this game even though they cost mana. I drive up the secret forest garage road, I speed the bike up to 804 Kilometers, the wind blows around my cloak, I zoom past the entrance that has many types of flowers, but had my favorite flower— Dragon Bur—the flower was on tree with Iris blue petals, the flower tree reminds me of a weeping willow with its hanging flowers in the same matter as the weeping willow. Once I left the gate, I speed up even more as I expertly swerve around players. I soon see 'The Empress tea shop', I park in front of the teal building, decorated with crimson stripes. I walk into the building with a purpose. I look in the corner to see Ryan drinking a brown, foamy liquid that I recognize as hot Gajan, I sit down on the chair across from him. ¨Hey Ryan" I greeted.

¨Hey Tálor" he replies.

"Where were the last place you saw them," I ask.

"The shopping district," Ryan answers.

"Yep, they're held by EXP Raiders, most likely," I tell him knowingly.

"But there are hundreds of EXP potion sellers," Ryan says

"Do you still have a tracker on them," I ask

"Yeah, but its displaying two locations," Ryan sighs.

Trackers should track the person unless there is a signal blocker which cost 90 Chronus which is King's salary, I swipe my middle and pointer finger to the right as 5 buttons appeared

I guess my Stats are alright, I go to my inventory equipping my black scaly cloak around my pure white Deira threaded robe that is highly recommended for a Archbishop, I look at Ryan and tel him, "the only Archbishop says that we investigate the two points that trackers tracked your six siblings at"

He puts a copper like Novae coins, we walk to my bike that is still is in the same place I left it. I hop onto the bike as I realize the major Exp arena might have them. I get on the bike as Ryan slides his large framed self behind me as I race off on the Aerocycle dodging every person and other drivers as I pull up to the major Arena's door in seconds. I cloak my cycle and knock on the door five times for a pair of red eyes looked at me and said "password"

"Avok Horora Hax" I say fluently in Halfling as my staff glows blue with the words.

He opens the door to see a dimly lit hall that I walk cautiously into as I take each step, I hear faint screaming. I approach the main arena's door. I open the door to see a lot of people watching white haired six kids go against 6 adults that I recognize as the 6 guardians that I loathe. I see a dove on one of the white haired kid's cheek, why does that look familiar, I try to remember who had a dove on his cheek, then I remember that Leone has a Dove on his cheek. I draw my rapier, Devourer, Cunning Of Hellish Torment from my Fortuitous Fiery Bag, but before I could a White flash blinded everyone, I was the first to recover since this isn't my first experience with flash spells. I looked at Ryan to see my ex close friend and my crush, David Valentine. shit, I didn't know he played, oh fuck me. I immediately take out my change mask and change my face into my game face for Tyr as I look at the battle ahead of me. This game will make my secrets resurface, why is this happening to me, I can't let my feelings cloud my purpose to be the greatest player in the world and collect all the elemental stones, so I can open the system's sphere that it gave all players, this is bad feelings are bad especially love.
