There is so much to this game, nearly every human on Earth had to get it, you can even gain currency through it if you know how. It was titled "A True Evolution in Gaming," and "A Game Like No Other," to put it simply, this game, is like a whole other world.

Let's get on to the story.

Was a normal spring day in the world of Axion, the birds were chirping, the slimes were bouncing, and the army of adventurers made way for of the most fearsome dungeon challenges of all. In this world, there are weak ones then there are strong ones, there is a balance, however in this reoccurring event, the scales are always weighing most toward the danger ahead, for this danger may be silly, but the matter is, this child looking being is no laughing matter.

In a old cathedral, that sits atop a peaceful flower covering hill, holds a dungeon like no other, really can't call it a dungeon as it is more a boss arena. Within the aged building, a great amount of treasure lay ready for the taking, however there is just one obstacle, and his name is Hinokami. He is small beastkin fellow and truly looks to be a average five year old kid with fiery red locks, but don't his looks fool you, even with his long fox ears, and three long puffy tails that match his height of just three feet, this boy is really a no aging twenty-one year old male with magical power that is believed to rival or even top the most powerful royal archmage. Though even for his age, he is quite childish in personality, and his love for treasure has no bounds as well has his hunger for a challenge.

Its about every two weeks is when adventurers come to the cathedral in attempt to defeat this being, and every two weeks the adventurers fail to match Hinokami's fiery power. But this fight however, may end up ending in quite a surprise for the little beastkin.

"Halt!" Calls out a armored soldier riding a horse in front of the almost hundreds of adventurers, they now stood just outside the lair of the "Sun Wielder," a name the guilds have given to Hinokami for his immense power in fiery magic. The man looked at the squads of men and women ready to fight, then he spoke, "I will not lie, this battle will be intense. Many of you may not make it..." The man drones on with his speech. While in a barely lit apartment bedroom, a male at a computer desk stared at his monitor waiting for what he wants, a challenge. "Seriously dude? I'm here and ready but you just keep talking. Should I just obliterate him? Would save everyone the time... I suppose it can't be helped, people like him are so annoying." The male said talking to himself before making a simply click of his mouse, which makes his monitor light up in a fiery red and orange. In front of the entire army of adventurers, the man who was talking now screams in agony as he is engulfed in what is a swirling vortex of fire casted by Hinokami who now stands in the doorway of his lair. He talked which sounds like a child due to voice settings, "That guy was so annoying, if all of you are ready, just come on in, ofcourse, if you are brave enough." He says then disappears into his lair where he hopes at least half of the adventurers will come to challenge him.

As the little beastkin made his way back to his massive treasure pile where he hops up and stands upon a jewel encrusted gold throne chair, sounds of many footsteps echo in through the cathedral and lair. One by one, adventurers pour into the lair, weapons and or magic ready, as they were gonna give the sun wielder the challenge he wanted. Hinokami smiled as he watch these men and woman charge with weapons of all sorts: swords of all sizes and styles, spears and polearms, hammers of different materials, gauntlets sharp or blunt, daggers of different lengths, some of these weapons contain magical enchantments. However in the end, these weapons were of no use against the fiery being as he swings his arm out, casting and sending a wave of fire at the challengers, taking down the very front of the crowd. Many died but those who remained were immediately attended to by healers. "Healers huh, about time I be challenged properly." Says the boy like being as he starts to give them more of his power, granted he did hold back.

Outside the lair, there were two novice adventurers and a adept, each very much concerned that they shouldn't go in, but being it is a guild registered quest, they can't retreat other wise they be punished as per say of the guild rules, and being they are completely new players, they will no doubt be kicked from the guild and be forced to go back to the adventurers association with shame. A female voice softly spoke. "W-what should we do? We can't leave a-and there's no way we can b-beat that magic user." A male replied. "Well we can't just sit here, at least we can go in a die like the others, that way the only penalty will be losing all our coin but we stay in the guild." Another male, but deeper voice. "True, but if we go in there, we gotta at least try to fight. Letting ourselves die is unheroic." The female and the other male nod. The deeper voice male speaks again. "Luviosa, what is the strongest summon you have at your level?" The female known as Luviosa, who is a summoner mage, spoke. "O-oh umm... th-that would be my vine golem, th-though he would be useless against the s-sun wielder's fire magic." "Good enough, and Z34L (Zeal) you should use your rogue ability shadow step to try to get as close to him as possible." The deep voice male says to the other who is known as Z34L who nods then spoke. "But what about you Takkar, what are you gonna do?" The deep voice male known as Takkar who carries a shield as big as him, replies. "I'll be keeping his focus, all on me."

The battle rages on inside the cathedral lair, many pillars of swirling fire fill the room as fireballs shot into the crowd of adventurers. Hinokami yawned as blasted away different races, classes, and even ranks. "Is this all, still cant believe it, I was holding back, though I still am, but you all are still pretty pathetic." He says still casting fire magic without a problem. "Fuck yo-AHHHHH!!!" Says a adventurer at Hinokami's feet who immediately got incinerated. Soon the fighting died down to nothing, bodies of adventurers disappear into pixel all awhile the hall like room that is the lair, smokes with scorch marks everywhere. And the Sun Wielder sighed as he was displeased with the challenge, though he admits, it was better than all the others. His ears twitch has three sets of footsteps fill the hall, three adventurers had entered the lair, Takkar and Z34L taking lead as Luviosa hid behind them. "Just the three of you? And your all low rank, you sure you wanna do this?" Hinokami asks as he tilt his head at them as he reads they're info through a pop-up stats screen. But even with what he asks, they still walked toward him somewhat determined.

"Well at least I hope you three put up a good fight. Tell you want, I'll just use fire magic through kicks, give ya a chance." He says with a generous tone as he jumps down to the floor, there his feet catch fire as he then starts hopping up and down one foot at a time along with his hands behind his back, as if he was playing around a bit. True being a magic user makes him not so physically strong, however he countered that by being a natural born fighting beastkin, making his physical attacks able to do damage.

Takkar held his shield with both his hands and readied himself to defend Luviosa, he was a tank, but not any ordinary one, adept players can make a advance into a better class from the basic one, so this large shield wielder is a Shieldman, this class has great fortification and endurance, making them perfect for front line defense, while Z34L and Luviosa are just simple basic classes: Rogue and Mage. As Takkar readied himself, Z34L draws his twin curved daggers, the rogue class has good speed and agility, however they are quite weak in any range attacks as well as have very average endurance. Watching the two, the mage Luviosa focuses and does a chant before a vine golem is summoned to they're aid, summoners are one of many basic magic classes to choose from, however compared to the conjurer and necromancer advance classes, summoners are required to make pacts with the summon by finding, interacting, in some cases fighting, then magically bond with the creature.

Hinokami continued to hop up and down playful some as he waits for them to attack, he definitely plans to hold back a bit for them being how big a gap that is between they're power levels. Really if he was gonna put it in a way of a simple viewer, the three would be like level 1 slimes with little to no attack power that is about to fight a level 50 demon that can obliterate a whole city. The scale of the match is so unbalanced, it is passed breaking point and has already fallen apart. But even with the chances of victory being as clear as day, the three were prepared to fight Hinokami.

"Well, I guess I can just toy with them some and then- wait what the hell?" The male user who controls the fiery little kitsune blinks as a chat window appears on his screen. 'Congratulations. You are selected for a special reward. Enjoy~.' "What the hell is this? Reward? Axion never give rewards." He talked to himself trying to figure it out until his screen lit up with blinding white light making him cover his eyes. Before the eyes of the three players, Hinokami suddenly disappeared. Taking on a high defensive position, the three feared the kitsune was to attack them at high speed. However nothing happened which made them highly confused. "Umm- where did he go?" Luviosa asked concerned while Z34L steps away from the three into the open, attempting to see if there is a trap or a ambush. Seeing nothing, the three lowered they're guard. "Did he log out? Or his system crashed?" Takkar thought aloud. "Who cares. WE'RE RICH!!!" Z34L joyfully says as he heads toward the mountain of gold and treasure. "Don't you dare touch a single piece of gold." "But why? The dude disappeared mid battle." "We didn't earn it. Be dishonorable to take what is not ours. Lets go." Takkar says as he began walking to the exit with Luviosa. Z34L groans as he follows too. "Where the fuck did you go Sun Wielder."

Meanwhile, in another world.

- Hinokami's POV -

I groan as I open my eyes, looking at a bright blue cloudy sky. The chirping of birds fill my ears that twitch in place. The air felt fresh as it entered my body. I layed there quietly until a jolt of realization hits me, making me sit up eyes wide. "What the hell happened?!?! Where am I?! Wait wait, calm down. Lets think a- wait a minute... I was about to battle some Adventurers... WHAT IS TO HAPPEN TO MY TREASURE!?!?!?" I cried to myself in pain.
