It has been two long weeks since the 12th expansion of the game that somehow managed to literally trap them into the actual game. Resting on one of the large Torii gates was a female in black. This was Shinobu Naoe otherwise known as Kagami a high level player that has been apart of the game for a while. Since being trapped in her healed her of fragile body Shinobu felt two things worry and elation finally she could do things that once limited her but at what cost? Though it seemed her thoughts was not meant to be for long as a large explosion took base in the center of town. Despite being based on Kyoto there was some more "fantastical" elements located around the city such as skyscraper tall Torii gates and a large dragon statue in the center of town.

Two weeks ...

Two weeks of food that looks good but has no flavor, and drink that is just as flavorless. That wouldn't be totally have been terrible if it wasn't for the boredom. The combination of not needing much gold to live, and not being able to die left some people deciding to take up mugging and player killing.

Though that didn't stop some people from still trying to go out and do things just to keep them selves busy. Dante, for the most part found him self just trying to get used to his new reflection and people calling him 'Chiziru'.

The most part, Dante ether hunted PKers down and introduced them to the business end of 'her' sword, or acting as a guard against PKers. Which turned out to be surprisingly effective once word got around about a Fox Tail Samurai decked out in Artifact Gear that reflects damage, and a high counter attack rate. Which tended to keep PKers away from who ever 'she' was keeping an eye on.

'She' was just coming back from guarding a Carpenter out looking for wood for something, when there was some kind of explosion. He was rather chatty while they where out, not that Dante minded. Much like in the game, a 'talkative party' generally makes things better.

After parting ways with the Carpenter, Dante decided to go see what the explosion was about.

Tirpitz, not many new the name itself, but the phantasmal signature attached to it was a legendary one. Ascendant Mage of the Astral Clocktower; That was the real attention grabber that if not everyone had heard of, had heard the legendary exploits of the sorcerer's title. Tirpitz however, liked to lay low. a character that was a female race of ritual while being a male in real life, had come about because he was a hormonal teenager, now this had come to bit him in the ass, because he was what many would call "moe" or a "loli" or even a "trap". It was his decision an he didn't have much of a choice now, but this choice was far better than the alternative he had left for himself back in the real world.

The past two weeks had been rough. the newly found 'She' had taken to renaming herself to avoid being hunted by people who decided it was wise to pick a fight with 'her' now. Changing from Tirpitz to Titania as a more fitting title, she had taken to helping some younglings survive, and as such, was in a much less norticable and less famous Garb as well as having lowered her level to thirty ione to help teach the young ones and keep herself off the radar. Walking on a road inside of Kyoto, or the city that was based upon it, she felt the center of town shake and rumble with an explosion. Rushing in towards the center, she held her wooden staff ready. anyone could read her level and stats:
Titania
lvl 31 Sorcerer.
Magical Craftsman Lvl 90

She seemed to be plunging into danger and while the idea of dieing and coming back was nice, she was still scared shitless of the thought, so it gave a shake to her hand as she was holding the plain wooden staff out, trying to figure out the cause of such an explosion and looking like a shooken up newbie while doing so.

Shinobu was able to quickly make it to the central being a cleric offered quite a bit of leeway not only by the other players but the people of the land as well. With that said she was able to quickly go through the large amount of people as they let her through as a "dedicated" healer one of the unspoken rules since the apocalypse was to let clerics go through certain events so that they can heal the injured quicker. The main reason of concern it seem was a large rock that seemed to have been sent flying from a large distance probably a catapult. She thought to herself she seen something like this before near Akiba before the apocalypse happened it was part of a spawned mob of ogre monsters. Weak mobs for most of the higher level people but for others it was a tough mob to fight ogres was similar to the goblin raids that happened near akiba but Ogres was known to be "clan" based mobs meaning small groups. So if they were able to get to the mob and defeat them it should be able to stop damage before it got worse.

"I am looking for a party im a level 90 cleric looking for escort into the back woods to deal with the ogres who is probably the reason behind this." Kagami exclaimed she hated displaying her level like this since after the apocalypse there was no way to broadcast it to the ones who would really be able to help.

Dante arrived at the source of the explosion to find it was not an explosion at all be a big ass rock some one had sent flying into the town.

"I am looking for a party im a level 90 cleric looking for escort into the back woods to deal with the ogres who is probably the reason behind this." A cleric said a few moments after 'she' arrived at the scene

"Ogres huh, guess that makes sense, this close to a town like this though? Could a sworn the average level for mods around here was much lower." 'she' thought as people mumbled a bit "Wow ... don't all jump up at once or anything ..." Dante snarked internally at the seeming lack of volunteers, before pushing through the crowd. "Chiziru, level 90 Samurai. If you want it, you have my Sword." Dante said once 'she' was sure the Cleric in question could actually see 'her'.

"ogres...." Said the girl as she sighed and walked up in her garb to the two who had so far wanted to set out to deal with these things. Her level was still hidden as she didn't see much of a point to trust others yet besides the newbies who certainly needed the help. However, this seemed like a good chance to explore some higher level players and maybe make some friends in the process. Seeing how accepting they were would probably be the first step to getting somewhere with them.

Stepping forwards, she held her staff out. "Level thirty one. Sorcerer, Call me Titania." She said looking around and between the two before her. Would these two take her word on it? She could only let time tell.

"Ah thank you for volunteering" She spoke while yes apparently it was not a one life business like the supposed death game from that one anime. Though she was still a bit disheartened that even after two weeks people still refused to leave the city much if at all. No ones in Kyoto region of the Japanese server really left the city. Which by itself was saddening were they really ready to live their lives like this? "Still thank you for aiding me im afraid due to my class by myself I would be unable to do much of anything. Ah Titania was it? Will you be ok at your level I know ogres are ranging from 75 to 80 for levels and if preapred they can be taken down but are you sure your ready?" Kagami asked her voiced laced with concern even if people dont die she didnt want her whole crusade to be the cause of a forced respawn. "Ah forgive me for my rudeness my Name Shin- I mean Kagami its a pleasure to work with you today." She said as she led them towards the city exit "By the way do any of you need to stock up on any items I got enough healing and mana potions to go around so please tell me if you need any?" She quickly added as they reached the gate.

"No problem." Dante replied. "It's not like we can just ignore the Ogres" 'she' sighed, "Sides, what else is there to do right now?." 'She' asked as they walked a long. "It's been two weeks, no one save a handful of people is willing to leave the city, and the majority of them are PKing people."

'She' shook her head. "Sorry, I'm just frustrated." 'She' said intending to just leave it at that.

"ofcourse i'll be fine. I didn't hit level ninety in my subclass for nothing." Titania said, scratching the back of her robed head with a bit of a smile behidn the mask. At the moment, one of them wanted to do good and protect the town since nobody else seemed to be and the other on seemed to be observant. Close enough for a trustful group, the 'girl' figured.
As they walked, Titania closed her eyes and mentalally sorted the spells she would use in this. "Magic armor..." she said softly as they'd noticed her health bar (which was absurdly and unusually small to begin with) hide behind her mp bar which was uncharacteristically oversized for her level, more akin to something twice her level.

"Very well if you are sure lets go than." Kagami stated as she walked towards the back forest while some cities like Akiba was playing politics with the people of the land Kyoto on the other hand was different. Kyoto both in real life and in game was considered a holy ground if you will meaning that as long as the adventurers respected the city they were willing to let them handle themselves. Kannagi based quests and themes became prevalent in the Kyoto region as there multiple quests and events that happened for them to take advantage of. Still it didnt stop others from benefiting from it due to the high level kannagis often had to hire teams to help them on the quests and raids that occured in the area. Thus while not bustling with life like Akiba Kyoto did have its fair share of people as well. "I hear sounds of combat please lets continue but be prepared for the worst." Kagami added pker's like Chizuru mentioned was the prevalent people around the area and as such they had to move carefully in case they were ambushed. Or in worse case the catapult was manned by a player who specialized in bow weapons which in the unlikely case it happened put them in a much more precarious position.

"If they are PKers, then there's no issue." Dante said and started toward the sounds of combat, and cast Keen Edge, Reflex Boost, Gain Immunity, and Soul Weapon. "Besides, if they PKers, it's best we remove them now, then have to deal with them on the way back."

Dante closed in on the sounds of battle quickly. Three targets, two where low on HP and one was still at full HP. Knowing how PKers work the one with full HP was probably hanging back. Dante lead off with Whirlwind Vacuum Slash, keeping 'her' voice low to keep the PKers from noticing 'her' till it was to late. Only one of the PKers was in range, the one with full HP. 'She' followed that up with Skull Splitter, to close the gap quickly before the Paralysis effect of 'her' opening attack faded.

The Paralysis faded, and the PKer turned to try and parry and counter Dante's follow up attack, only to end up eating a parry/counter from the Fox Tail, followed by a normal strike to the PKers gut, causing the PKer to back take a few steps back, yelling, demanding Dante identify 'herself', 'she' didn't, no words wasted on 'her' target, instead 'she' did a short hop forward, parried a knife thrust, a countered with Seal Throat Stab, leaving him unable speak, and wordlessly telling him to 'shut up' in the process, before finishing him off with Whirlwind Slash, 'her' Soul Weapon, which had been doubling her damage out put the whole time, delivering the final bit of damage.

Titania ran out upon hearing the noise, following the kitsune to the fight. Hearing the noise, she had seriously hoped it wasn't PK'ers. There was so much more that people could be doing. Actually trying to benefit other people or helping rebuild or figure out what was going on. However, her heart sank and the happiness ha disappeared. She knew that the target of the pk would be fine, but with the damage done to the two would be pk'ers, they'd be running off soon. now with their leader dead.

Standing infront of them, Titania now blocked off their only escape route. A series of events then occured, one which would probably be forever burned into the minds of those poor Pk'ers. They saw their last chance to escape alive before them, two high level players, well, relatively high to the little 31 before them. The first thing those with a keen eye would notice was a minor changing of the garb on the player. Mask was still there and so was the large robes draped over the player, but the gloves had changed as well as the foot wear as well as the way the robes draped over the under clothing.

The second thing was the level cap being released, however, this happened as both of them charged the sorcerer so they failed to take note, their panic and the charge leading them to miss the change. The two of them unleashed both of their most powerful attacks, one a fury of blows and the other a single decisive hit. Standing behind her, they both smiled, figuing they could get out of this scott free. that was when the sorcerer began to laugh. "Those were attacks?" she asked, turning to stare at them. In her hand was no longer her staff, but a wand. It began to glow as she spoke, staring at them, her MP/health bar seemed to have the most minor of scratches, which suddenly ticked back. The two of them stared in disbeleif at this.

"wait what?" asked one of them, staring and obviously afraid now.

"You see, you two are idiots for pk'ing and idiots at pvp. Look over the facts; my numbers, are bigger than your's. funny thing really, you get to a high enough level and you're basically untouchable. My wounds heal, faster than you can make them. You could try to pk me all day, and not make progress farther than that. I'm sure it'd be rousing to watch you two feebly attempt to damage me, i'd probably get a kick out of it too." she said and raised the wand, the tip a blood red as she took aim. "However, i promise you two that you will never Pk again. Lest you wish to enjoy me killing you much slower and much more painfully." Titania said as she cast the wand. "Astral Cannon." said the female, a ten second stream of death erupting from the wand, a unique spell that none of them had seen before, even more eerily in a blood red instead of the astral white/purple in a meter and a half across beam. It evaporated the two players, the rocks behind them and left a line of trees missing a rounded chunk or fallen out to about thirty meters.

Spinning the wand, the female slid it down into her bag and returned to look at the rest of the group. "Shall we go slay some ogres now?" the cheery voice asked, happy once more and seemingly cleared of the fog that had cluttered around her.

"In every world, once you die your gone. Yet this is not the case in this world no matter how many times you die you will be respawned do you understand DAVE" Kagami said a large smile spreading on her face as her hair covered her eyes. Some pkers though that since everyone else was to good the best bet would be the cleric. "So DAVE Will you please DIE for me?" She continued her smile only spreading as the would be assassin started to get unnerved and the knife he was going to hold to her through started to shake. Turning around she lifted her staff the smile still spread across her face. With a kick to the chest and swipe towards the stunned pks chest she slammed the staff on the head. Than as if on que arrows upon arrows made of light rained down on him. "No no no no you cant die yet DAVE I havent had my fun yet" She said as she healed him. "You know the best part of being a cleric DAVE? you see the best part of being a cleric Is I can hurt you till near death than heal you and continue the process over and over again till you lose my fancy"

"This this isnt right your a cleric what kind of cleric and can do this?" The pk Kagami named dave yelled as he fell on his behind and started to crawl backwards till his back hit a tree.

"You want to know DAVE? let me tell you I learned how to do all of this thanks to Menu-Sama."

"Ah fuck" the pk muttered as he noticed his escape was blocked by a tree.

"Now lets end this you bore me" Kagami said her face lost its smile and stared straight at him. "Diabolic Emission" She muttered as a large sphere of black energy floated above before slamming down upon him leaving a small crater where he once was. Turning around to face the party she casually tossed a empty potion bottle to the side as it shattered into pieces.

"Was that really necessary?" 'She' asked as Kagami came out of the brush, and sheathed her sword.

"Chiziru" 'She' replied. "and you'll have to ask our cleric about joining up. I don't have a problem with it though." Dante added, and waited for the others to decide. Notably ignoring the drops from 'her' kill as she approached the Guardian.

"Wow, that cleric has some minor mental issues... not gunna stick... well... not even sure how lesbians work to be truthful as i never gave it too much thought... Oh well. Not going to stick my dick in that anytime soon." said the mage from behind her mask. the voice was certainly debatable to male or female, but the stat sheet identified the person as a female.

"I think any of us could have dealt with all those people easily, but It's been a while since i got angry so i figured i might as well vent the very few frustrations i have." Titania added to the group somewhat discussion going on. "Anyways, i think this would be majorly beneficial. Call me Titania by the way." she added as the lot of them all received invites to join 'her' party now. "having the benefits of a party would make things much much easier."

"sorry about that was really out of char I dont know what happened sorry." Kagami apologized either way she lead them forward with their new tag a long it was bound to be a bit easier. Accepting the party request that appeared before her. A hour or two later they walked into the encampent that was roughly put together with various pillaged items more than likely but as Kagami figured in the distance she saw a large pile of rocks and a large catapult sitting in the distance.
