Story
League of Legends-- a massive multiplayer online game that thousands of people spend their free time playing. These summoners, or so the players are called, spend many hours trying to defeat each other using their favorite champions on the battlefield called Summoner's Rift.
After playing a couple of games with your friends as you blatantly complained about the "broken" champions or blaming the jungler for not helping enough, you tell your friends that you were going to hit the hay. You bid farewell and promise to play with them again tomorrow. You wanted to get enough Influence Points to buy the new champion that was coming out later that week, after all. You turn off the computer, brush your teeth, and tuck yourself into bed.
The next morning, you feel a little ill. Your torso feels like it's been disconnected from your limbs, and your head aches like someone had kicked it a thousand times over. You go through your day nevertheless; you go to school or work, struggling to keep up with the pace of society.
Little did you know was that you weren't yourself. An unnatural phenomenon has occurred, and those who play League of Legends have been the powers of the champion that they main. Some may find out sooner than others and some may not find out until it's too late. The point is, their lives will never be the same again...
Plot
This isn't the story of being stuck in your favorite online game like you've seen in anime-- it's moreso the fact that your favorite online game is stuck in the real world. With your new-found powers, you choose whether to become a recluse in fear of being found out or you go out and begin to make a name for yourself. Maybe you just choose to ignore them and struggle to hide them. Whatever the case, you slowly begin to realize that something is after you. Is it the government that wants to experiment on you? Is it another of your kind? Nobody knows. What you do know, however, is that you're knee-deep in the most complicated problem of your life.
To top it all off, you suddenly get this letter in the mail...:
Setting
The story begins in Darkwell City, a rather large metropolis off the west coast of the United States of America. While the exact location of the city isn't really known, one can tell that it is located somewhere in Oregon.
Prana and True Forms
As we know, there are various forms of "energy" in the world of League of Legends-- some don't use this so called "energy" at all. Whether it is something called mana or flow, they are the basis of using abilities in the game. These so called "energies" do not exist in the real world; they are replaced by something called prana. Prana makes up the life-force of these people who have the powers of their main champions. It draws on their very being as they cast spells or switch between their regular forms and "true forms", as they are called. If a person does not have enough prana, they are not able to use their abilities and are reverted back into their regular forms. One may die if they have extremely low enough amounts of prana.
It's not like a gifted person is going to walk around the city with extra pairs of appendages or with a ghostly air around them. This is where true forms come into play. With a sufficient amount of prana, a gifted person may choose to transform into a form that appears (somewhat) more like the champion they commonly play. This includes abilities to shift into beasts (like Nidalee and Shyvana and Aurelion Sol), make clones of themselves (like Leblanc and Zed), and control other creatures (like Elise and her spiders). True forms do not impact traits like size or weight, so you don't have to worry about your character suddenly becoming short like a yordle or extremely heavy-weight like Gragas.
Powers used in the character's regular form has only a fraction of the strength of the powers used in their true form. Sometimes, it is even impossible to use powers in regular forms.
