"Save me" she said lookin' towards the boy. He turned. " You mean me ", He replied with a straight face.

" Help me if i die here i will loose all my loot ", she said in fear of uncertainty. " well... Le' me do you a favor, i guess ". he paused for a little while and started laughing.

" I will loot you when you die hahahahahahaha" his laugh echoed through the Dark forest and he watched that girl die.

In this reality no one is choosen, nor in this game, Tales of traum ( Dream ).

A MMORPG which took the gaming world with a landslide. With there cheap equipments and high possibilities inside game, it showed a promising future in trailers. So does when it came out. I am among them who bought it on release date. There is a great craze for the game and now a days literally everyone plays it. This game became a job soon, cause of its real money cash prize events, people love this game, due to so much use of this game government made a rule to protect people from investing so much time in it. Only 8 hours of gameplay a day, and to the player who are registered as paid members can play it all day, cause they are earning from it.

*school bell rang*

Do you know i still have 6 hours of my gameplay left.

*sigh*I was playing in early morning so i only have 4.

Did you took part in event yesterday.

Yeah i managed to grab a C grade armor.

*with excitement* Can you show me, i only have D ones.

*proudly*Why not

*in mind* Pathetic, just pathetic, feeling all cheered up over a C garde equipment *arrogantly* Newbies..

I hate my classmates so bad that it can be measured and my love for them is not even in a centimeter scale.

" Hey kawasaki what was your rank yesterday." she came running towards those girls. They asked again " How did your yesterday event go kawasaki ". with a pretty voice " Got a A grade armor". girls went crazy when they heard A garde.

I picked my bag and started to move out from class, as school was over.

" Kawasaki you will definitely be a paid member one day "

I was close when they where discussing that, after hearing that, i couldn't help myself but laugh, laugh at the word they said.

They glared at me, as they gonna kill me.

"Laugh as much you want but, I'm gonna make it one day."

She said that with a remarkable confidence , If i heard it from someone else i might laugh , but seeing her eyes, I knew that really meant to her.

After saying that she just took off . those girls scolded me for being such a jerk.

She is beautiful and there is no one who can stand on equal grounds with her. She opens her eyes wide and habitually close her right eye. she is an archer from what i guess.

Currently its been 1 year after game officials release.

...Welcome to Tales of Traum.....

[ Event 97 ]

[ Mist Forest ]

"Legends says Once there was a glorious kingdom, Hidden inside the forest of mist, Non living ever knew how that kingdom looked. People in search of kingdom, never found it and those who found it never returned."

[S Class Event]

[Objective : Find the truth about kingdom in Mist]

[Time : 7 days]

This event seems a bit strange, An S class exploring event. but they didn't mention genre in there. *sigh* which equipments should i equip, fighting or exploring. It will be a hard decision i guess.

Yuki walked away from commission board, and entered Tavern.

Welcome sir Yuki, said the Female Bartender of Tavern.

Lui, I will be out on commission for somedays, inform me if something is wrong, said Yuki.

Yes master.

[ Log out ]*click*

5:00 Am

*yawning* It sure gets morning quick, better head back to sleep.

*School bell rang*

mutter mutter mutter.....

I think we can manage that new event, what do you think Kawasaki.

Guessing from the look of it, i think its an exploring event, and time limit is pretty long, replied Kawaskai.

might be a good chance to get some good stuff, so class we shall roll in then, said Daichi (Unofficial leader of class)

Everyone went in favour very quicky. I think it will be nice if they stick together, after all its just an exploring event. I still can't believe it's an S class event.

Hey Sugawara, you wanna join, it will be a good chance to grind some level. Said Daichi.

He is referring to me, I am Shoyo Sugawara. A handsome guy, towards whom girls don't even look at. They all think i am an Low rank rookie, but leave it they will be never know i am player they dreamed to be.

No, i will pass, I replied.

"He got some nerve rejecting offer of daichi like that" Girls muttering

Okay then you are free to join whenever you like, Said Daichi.

"oh.. Daichi is so cool, even while talking to jerk he is well mannered ". Girls muttered.

huh...*in mind* *arrogantly* Go ahead and might as well die in there, stupid peoples.

I never really blend in with class, There never saw me as a classmate, nor do i did. Its better for a guy like me to stay alone rather then on team. These codependency which they call team, doesn't help anyone, much likely it slows down the best to match the limit of others.

[ START GAME ]*click*

[City - Central]

There was a huge crowd rumbling, as every one wanted to participate in this event. Even the rank 10 players are there. Most of the people are excited and laughing, 'cause only few know how S rate rewards look. In the crowd of many there is group of Yuki's school too, infact you can't call it group they are like a whole guild standing there.

There are quite a lot of people's here, are all of these live in central.

Master Yuki, Should we close Tavern, Lui asked.

Why is there anything the matter?, Yuki asked.

Sir we are out of supplies, every little buff is sold, said Lui.

People are really going for this event don't they, said Yuki.

Yes master, Said Lui.

Do you want to be part of this event to, Asked Yuki. I like to, but.

Leave that 'But' for another day Lui.

Lets have a something interesting.

[Teleport crystal ]*Activate*

[Forest of Mist]

"Legends says Once there was a glorious kingdom, Hidden inside the forest of mist, Non living ever knew how that Kingdom looked. People in search of Kingdom, never found it and those who found it never returned."

Oh.. They sure made a good intro here, Lui said. Yeah, but why didn't they give any genre. I think they might have forgotten. Lui replied. Might be the case, but they are huge developing community, they can't mistake it, since we don't have clue always be on your guards.

Okay master.

They walked deep and Mist became thicker, nothing seemed clear 10 m ahead of vision.

I think this mist is the reason why it is S class, Said Lui.

I don't think so.

People like me who have Concentration as passive can easily see through this thick mist, nothing seems right here. there is no trace of anything, not even low level mobs. This is like a boss fight.

"People in search of kingdom, never found it and those who found it NEVER RETURNED"

Yuki and Lui continued walking through thick mist, day after day, every little moment was spent on walking.

"Two walked on endless road of mist,in search of place that even existed or not, Just like myth those who returned never found that and those who did never returned"

Hey Daichi how long we goin' to keep walking. May be a little longer then we excepted, its been 5 days already and still no sign of it beign here, replied daichi.

Number of people on quest decreased drastically, said kawasaki.

yeah may be we should quit.

No we will make it to end, replied Daichi.

"A party which started as guild was left with few"

[Day 6 ]

As they went forward Mist started to clear up, Yuki and Lui found themselves in rather peculiar spot, it was a big field nearly empty. On front there was a temple, forward to that someone was standing.

Following minute, Daichi also reached with his group. they both saw each other, daichi kept on moving with his team.

Master, they are going ahead, said Lui. Let them I don't think they can manage that, replied Yuki. But Master, intrupting Lui. Didn't i said leave but for another day.

Party moved closer to temple, temple started to seem big, so does the someone standing next to. A monster over 45meter high stood in front of them, His roar made the ground shake.

It can't be happening, Daichi said in fear. There is no time to rest, we should attack, said Kawasaki.

[ Monster: Legend of Mist ]

[ Type : Fire ]

[Hp : 5000000000]

Kawasaki went on attacking, Daichi was dead nearly a second after fight started, the party was half just in a minute.

Master shall we, asked lui.

Why not.

On that cold and foggy night, a hero approached near Kawasaki, was that guy a actual hero or a delusion.

A nearly half a century meter high monster, kept on burning the grounds. He grabed and threw some player, they went down from fall damage. But his magic damage was unparallel to any other other monster i ever seen.

[ Kawasaki ]

[ HP: 254/5000]

I might be dead soon, my loot will vanish soon. wish that i could take it back.

A light was seen on forest around one kilometer away, a pretty vibrant green light, beautiful yet vigorous.

I think its end for me.

Monster raised his hand to slam ground.

Fill the arrow in my bow with relentless power, taking the vengeance of fallen and annihilating the one who should, The power of God to kill who should be,

*screaming* God Killllleeeeerrrrrrr.....

Lui shot an arrow with tremendous power, her Ace God Killer towards that monster.

Arrow collided with monster Making his disbalance, it had great power but not enough to kill it.

[ Monster HP: 3550000000 ]

Woww.... that power, it must be some ranker. I might be able to survive.

Lui rushed to Kawasaki. Are you okay , asked lui. she picked her up. " that monster won't go down that easily, said Kawasaki. Oh don't worry about that, he will take care of it, said lui Confidently. you are hurt badly as well, asked Kawasaki. Its just the cost of my Ace, said lui.

[ Lui Tamer ]

[ HP: 2400/12000]

You sure stand longer then i excepted, well i might end you soon. The event is about to end soon. Might be bad if i didn't get treasure.

Yuki summoned his sword, and charged towards monster.

Young men holding a one hand sword with two hands, fast enough that we could only hear his sword sounds. He melted the monster hp in seconds without taking any hit.

Monster roared, unleashing his ace. A bright orange flamed roared as he did. Power enough to burn entire map.

Noo... he might die, screamed Kawasaki.

Master...., screamed Lui.

Nullify...

said Yuki, *Laughing out loud* you really thought this would kill me, you stupid mob.

Yuki flew in air. Why don't you give me your arm, said Yuki.

Yuki pierced his blade in his arm and dragged it down cutting his right arm.

Yuki started laughing loud.

You little piece of...., Yuki saw that arm was falling on the place where lui was standing. he rushed to save them, but he was neither able to save them nor him self from disaster.

[ Lui is dead, respawing to central ]

[ Yuki Ai ]

[ HP - 452/5000]

Yuki crawled up, " It sure costed a lot more then i excepted, huh *Smiling* Trying to save other, will nither save me nor others".

Yuki stood straight again, I should take some of my heals. There is still 2 minute before he can use his ace again. 2 minute would be sufficient i guess.

"Save me" she said lookin' towards Yuki. He turned. " You mean me ", He replied with a straight face.

" Help me if i die here i will loose all my loot ", she said in fear of uncertainty. " well... Le' me do you a favor, i guess ". he paused for a little while and started laughing.

" I will loot you when you die hahahahahahaha" Yuki's laugh echoed through the Dark forest and he watched that girl die.

Damn that girl wasted 10 seconds,

Yuki charged again, dealing considredable damage, went on striking and striking. but the monsters cooldown reset before it was finished.

Monster charged his flames towards, Yuki didn't stood this time, he knew its only one blow left. He charged towards the mob as well.

Nullify....

Yuki chopped the monster head out and landed on ground.

Huh, sure was a good fight, might as well look for treasure.

Yuki ran inside temple. He reached to a chamber with a chest, he slowly walked towards chest. when he reached there, a holographic girl figure fade in.

Congratulations, you made it this far, she said. yeah, and you must be stage master i guess, Yuki asked. Yes, you made it to end and only final doorway remains, she said. Yuki stood quite. Tell me did you see kingdom of mist, she asked. No i didn't, Yuki replied. So, do you know where it is. Yeah, Yuki replied.

Where, she said.

Inside that monster, Yuki replied.

Good, then tell me how do you know, She asked.

From that quest menu,"who returned never found it, and who found it never returned" cause the person who found it must be eaten and the one who returned never actually met that monster.

You are correct, She said. He was once a noble man, who went intense in war between 42, to make his country win he seeked help from science and black magic, at end he became strong but lose his mind in process. He started to destroy his own country that he once loved, All the Mages of country combined together and trapped him in this forest with mist surrounding him. He has eaten people enough to be in one kingdom. That why the legends says "Once there was kingdom in Mist".

Once, said Yuki.

You defeated it, didn't you. that why he no longer exists.

she disappeared after saying that.
