Prologue: Game Start!

(As it was 10:57 PM on a snowy and cold New Year's Eve of the year 1999, the roads were cluttered with innocent civilians as a group of 18-21 year old college students were walking the opposite direction toward a karaoke bar. As one of the male students stopped, his long-haired, little sister noticed and worried for her brother.)

"Isekawa Horigusa: Hm? Does something trouble you, big brother?"
"Desari Horigusa: Huh? Oh. Nothing at all, little sis. Just deep in thought, I'm alright."
"Isekawa: Well.. Okay. Come on, it's New Years Eve! We should make our New Years Resolution!"
"Desari: Resolution? Well... I uh-"
"Shinohara Maegi: Hey you two!! Come on, they're gonna give away our booth!"
"Isekawa: Coming! Come on, Desari!"

(As the group then enters the mall, they'd enter their reserves karaoke booth as they all chatted, ate together and sung songs before the final countdown of the new year, Desari and Isekawa held hands with the rest of the group as they all said their New Years Resolutions. After the whole group then says their resolutions, the countdown to the new year was upon them all.)

"All: 10.. 9.. 8.. 7.. 6.. 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1..! HA-..."

(Before anyone could yell Happy New Year, Desari opened his eyes and noticed him floating in an abyss of nothingness as he then noticed a green light blinking in front of him saying "Press Start!")

"Desari (Thinking): What.. is going on...? I was with my sister and.. our friends..."
"???: Welcome back, Mid-Ranker."
"Desari (Thinking): Who was that..?! Who's there..?!"
"???: Please, do not feel frightened. I am the Admin of the game, Worldly Conquest."
"Desari (Thinking): Wait.. Worldly Conquest..?! How did this-"
"???: An announcement will be made momentarily. To hear the announcement, please press start to begin the game."

(As Desari then presses play, he then enters the Worldly Conquest game and enters his created human avatar and enters the game, instantaneously spawned to the 1st realm's safe zone. Desari then checks through every main quest, collectable, legendary and rare item he's collected along with his weapons but noticed he had full control of his body instead of playing the game on his consoles.)

"Desari (Out Loud): Hm.. Odd, I can control my actions willingly...? And the other players..."

(He'd look around noticing over hundreds of players joining the servers as he then noticed a mysterious individual appearing on a holographic screen.)

"???: Greetings Worldly Conquest players! Firstly, Happy New Years to all whom celebrates! Unfortunately, there has been an exploit in our system where all Worldly Conquest players has been transported into into the game's system. According to the game developers, there are four ways to escape back to reality. Method one: You can reach level 3,000 and confirm with the Sinner Guilds. Once confirmed, you will be allowed access to leave the game. Method two: Survive the Destroyer Raid and decapitate the Destroyer. The death of the Destroyer, killed by the assailant player will allow the player the decision to return home with or without their party. Method three: Obtain one million player kills but it cannot be players 500 levels below you. Method four: To avoid player verses player combat or difficult raids, you must find the Platinum Globe. Once the player comes in contact with the Platinum Globe, you will have completed the game and be instantly transported out of the game in 30 seconds. However, you are welcome the option to live in Worldly Conquest for time is indiscriminately frozen in the real world."

(As the announcement then glitches out, most players began freaking out as Desari kept a cool composure but was a little freaked out that he was locked inside a game but then uses Realm Warp to transport himself to the 10th Realm known as Gladiator Valley and walks towards the inn he has rented the last time he logged into Worldly Conquest.)

"Innkeeper: Welcome back, Sinner!"
"Desari: Thank you. Wait- Sinner?"
"Innkeeper: Hm? Isn't that your nickname?"
"Desari: Uh... I think so..?"

(Desari then checks his game profile to notice he has an unchosen nickname and a player name. He'd then choose his nickname as the "Silver Steeled Warrior" and named himself in-game as "Yinlong". Desari then retires to his inn room as he then looked out the window to see Gladiator Valley still running the same way it has every since Desari logged out.)

"Desari: ...This is strange. So we're locked inside a game me and my friends, and my sister played together for months. (Narrating): This is Worldly Conquest. The objective of the game was truly to find the Platinum Globe and complete the game. Unfortunately on the final day of the year 1999, time in real life has been completely frozen as approximately one billion humans has now been trapped against their will in this fantasy game. And in order to escape back to the real world, we need to fight to the death or find the Platinum Globe and complete the game."

(After months goes by in Worldly Conquest, Desari returns to the 1st Realm and marks his new home in the commoner fields where he wishes to keep a low profile and help his hometown villagers. With a smile on his face, Desari was actually with consent with living in Worldly Conquest permanently but was worried that he could never see his sister again.)

"Elder Male Villager: Yinlong! Could you help me with the rooftops here?! I'm not as young as I used to be..!"
"Yinlong: I'm on my way, Mr. Shen!"

(As Desari then helps out one of his elderly neighbors, he'd finish up the rooftop for him and his healthy, peppy family.)

"Yinlong (Narrating): In Worldly Conquest, you can also play as a NPC known as B-Types. B-Types are welcome to have powers and such but as a NPC, you cannot go on quests, but you can open businesses, live as a normal civilian, become a guide or do whatever does not break the laws of the game. Actually, there are 11 counted races in Worldly Conquest: Human, Goblin, Wizard, Buddha, Angel, Guardian, Animatronic, Water Folk, Beast, Succubus and Vampire. Out of all eleven of these race classes, the most popular chosen within the system is the Animatronic for its technological offense and powerful defense, making them perfect for crowd control and raids. Second is the Buddha for their spiritual energy and powerful offense. The weakest of the bunch is a human, precisely I chose to be one... Humans are looked down on as the lowest rated players of the game, basically making them lower than mere commoner villagers. Its a lifestyle I'd rather live rather than.. trust anyone again."

(Desari remembers his past teammates as he was killed by his own team in front of his eyes but was then irritated that he could not remember who his teammates were after his three day suspension from in-game involvement. As he then finished the rooftop, he'd then say goodbye to Mr. Shen and his family as he then continued to help around the village. Meanwhile, a powerful clan of Vampires and Succubus's one of the major cities was passing by as they all noticed the slums but felt the presence of a strong civilian among them.)

"???: Stop here."

(As the carriage halts, most civilians were worried on who wandered into their village, they'd notice the leader of the clan walking inside the village and walks towards the source of power whom was gardening flowers for the village chief as the leader then approaches Desari.)

"???: Excuse me, may I have a moment of your time?"
"Yinlong: ...? Hm?"
"Aleister Gol' Vladimir (Clan Leader | Race: Vampire | Sinner Rating: 6 Stars): Salutations, fine gentlemen. My name is Aleister Gol' Vladimir and I would like to ask you a question if I may."
"Yinlong: Which is...? (Narrating): Vampires are originally known in stories as creatures who can transform others, drink blood and is weak to sunlight. But in this game, Vampires can do much more for they're much stronger and deadlier than one Guardian."
"Aleister: Are you sir formally known as "Sinner"? One of the previous top clan leaders before your clan betrayed you?"
"Yinlong (Out Loud): ...Who wants to know...?"
"Aleister: I am the clan leader of the Eclipse Legion. With me are a clan of Vampires and Succubus's, allied together through this perilous journey of survival."
"Yinlong: Look. Just cut to the chase, okay? I dropped that name."
"Aleister: My my, you're just as straightforward as they say. Very well, I am here on behalf of the Counsel Of Origin. I have been searching for you, it's been a few months and a year ever since you've logged back on."
"Yinlong: ...What does the counsel want with me?"
"Aleister: You were invited."
"Yinlong: ...?"
"Aleister: I cannot say anymore, all I was told is to bring this invitation to you."

(As Desari then takes the invitation, Aleister bid farewell and returned to the carriage with his clan as it then continued its path down the road as Desari then opens the letter without a care, reading what it says.)

"Letter: Mr. Sinner, it is a pleasure to write this letter to you. It is our pleasure to announce that you have been invited to the Worldly Quest 682th Annual Ball. We expect high starred players such as yourself to attend such an event, even if you do not have a clan, we will still declare you as an honored guest!"

(Desari then sighs as he placed the letter back in the envelope and was irritated.)

"Village Chief: Y-Yinlong...? What's the issue...?"
"Yinlong: I'm sorry chief, I need to visit the Grand Realm for a while. I'm invited to a party but I will return as soon as I can."
"Village Chief: Well, be careful on your journey.. You're too young to dying! Everyone in this village respects you!"

(He'd look at the worried children as Yinlong goes to pat their heads then say goodbye for now.)

"Yinlong: I promise. I'll return, don't worry at all."

(As he waved goodbye, he'd then Realm Warp to the Grand Realm and noticed the crowded atmosphere of wealthy B-Types, Sinners, Clans and Strays with high star rankings.)

"Yinlong: Alright... Let's go see what this party is about."

(A notification then pops in front of Desari, revealing it was a side quest. As he then accepted, the title screen would then say "Game Start!")
