The Beginning of The New Era
Walking in the 9th floor is a man. The man is doning a raven coat and a crown made of gold and other jewels that shines brightly. There is a dangerous and dreadful aura emitting from the man giving him a terrifying vibe when you see. The man is non other than Clay Boare or his in game avatar Diabolus. He walks gloomingly as if the extravagant surroundings can't possibly make him happy.

"Thirty minutes left huh..." I muttered to no one in particular.
I walked and walked until I got to the meeting room of our guild. The Council is what they called it. A guard stands menacingly at the entrance of the door.
[Moon Demon (Mythical) ]
[Level 70]
[Property of The Pandemonium guild]
A panel pop up when I looked at it. This guard is one of the many guards stationed at our guild and this is only a fodder, meaning our guild has much more stronger than this. We have this stronger guards because we always go out and grind or just play not because we want to look cool...
Well, it's also a part of it.
Anyways, I opened the door and what greets me is my other guildmates. Our guild has 16 members but from what I see only 5 of us are here.
"Hey guys..." I greeted them gloomily.
"Hey..."
"Sup..."
"Your late man."
They greeted back gloomily too. All of us know this is not a time to be happy because this game that we poured our life into will be gone... forever.
"Hey look let's not get sad about it alright? How about we go to the throne room and wait for the countdown to end?" I said trying to lift the mood. They all nodded but it doesn't seem to erase the sad feelings we feel.
We activated our rings to directly go to the throne room. When we got to, what greeted us is a huge room.
It's not just a room because of the majestic design and the dark, sinister vibe it produce. At the end, there is a throne that is gloriously placed. This room can fit 100 people with no problem whatsoever, this is where we, The Pandemonium stands when other players raid our base.
We walk until we got to the throne and look at the timer.
[Time remaining:]
[11:22:43]
"11 minutes..." All of us look at each other and can see the sadness in our eyes.
"Guys, I'll miss you when the game ends." I said while feeling my voice crack. This is where our second life is at! This is where we escape when life doesn't go in our way!
We look at the timer ticking down while saying and doing nothing. Soon ten minutes passed.

One minute and the game will shutdown...
I looked at the world chat to see if there are players and got surprised in what I saw. There are players! They are... celebrating?
"Oh right, because it's the game anniversary... I won't be surprised when there are fireworks outside in the real world." I thought.
[00:54:21]
"Hey guys, do you think we'll meet again?" I asked while staring at the numbers ticking down.
[00:42:12]
"Yeah we will... I don't know, i heard a rumor that there is Nexus Fantasy 2 coming out so maybe we can meet there." A grotesque man said.
[00:12:36]
Twelve seconds...
[00:10:21]
[00:06:45]
[00:05:12]
[00:04:51]
I closed my eyes.
Three...
Two...
One...
*CRANK*
'Huh? What's that sound?' I opened my eyes and saw that we are still in the game.
"Hey, what happened?" A man with two horn growing in his head asked.
"I don't know maybe something come up?"
"Hey what the hell are they playing pranks on us?!"
"Calm down! Maybe they postponed it." I asked as my guildmates seemed agitated.
I tried to open the panel and got horrified when I saw that there are no log out button.
"Guys, c-check if you have a log out button." I asked them while stammering.
