Chapter 1:

Sinner's Ball!

World Quest: Escape To Reality


(After renting a clean black and white tuxedo, Desari began walking towards the Grand Meeting Hall of Sinners, Desari was attracting the eye of nearby bystanders, including flustering women as Desari did not wish to attract any attention but also did not want to seem inappropriately dressed up. After a while of a walk, Desari arrives at the Ball and notices a large crowd of Sinner clans and memorable Strays in one meeting hall as Desari does whatever he can to not draw a crown or any attention whatsoever.)

"Yinlong (Narrating): In Worldly Conquest, you can either join a clan or remain a Stray. Being or remaining a Stray means a solo player, one who doesn't wish to join clans. There are individuals who are against clans are just forms as a group, not a clan unless they register. To determine what clan is the most dangerous, there's a star ranking system. The highest you can reach is eight. If there are eight stars, that clan is considered a deadly force but the same applies to a Stray. There are Strays like me previously who were acknowledged by the Counsel of Origin. After my departure from the game, I did not expect the Counsel to remember me."

(As the microphone was tapped, everyone's attention was on one of the counsel members whom was on stage to welcome everyone.)

"Sanyei: (Member of the Counsel Of Origin | Race: ???): Attention everyone, I would like to thank you all for attending this wonderous event. On behalf of the Counsel of Origin, we also will commemorate this night as an important night as we all welcome our allied clans, elders and honored guests as well. And please, help yourself to some entrees, appetizers, drinks, snacks, desserts, to your hearts content as we enjoy this night. To Worldly Conquest!"

(As he raises his glass, everyone including Desari does the same.)

"All: To Worldly Conquest!"

(As everyone was having a great time together, Desari was alone and grabbed a plate to eat but did not mind at as he was approached by a child Goblin.)

"???: Excuse me...? Is this seat taken..?"
"Yinlong: Hm? Not at all."

(The child Goblin then sits two seats away from Desari as he just now realizes the child's race.)

"Yinlong (Narrating): Goblins are known for their fierceness in combat. When in a berserker-like state, they seem to attack their own people unwillingly. What most Goblins lack in specific stats, they make up for with enhanced melee strength."

(A female Goblin then approaches her son as she was concerned for his safety.)

"Goblin Mother: Fiobs! I am incredibly sorry sir, my child just wanders anywhere..!"
"Fiobs: No mom..! I want to stay here, this stranger seems lonely and I just want him to have some company!"
"Yinlong: ...!"
"Vrallas (Fiobs's Mother): As sweet as that is, we've told you about talking to strangers and interacting with them..!"
"Yinlong: Ma'am. You raised a sweet child, please protect him."
"Vrallas: O-Oh... Well, thank you. My child is none of your business but I appreciate it, come on Fiobs!"
"Fiobs: Aww... Mister, I hope to see you again! You seem like a very nice guy!"

(He'd say as Fiobs was being dragged off, Desari gave a smile. One clan was keeping their eye on Desari from a distance as they were talking about him.)

"???: Do you know who he is?"
"???: No, but I'm not going over there to ask who or what he is."
"???: Caution ladies, you don't want to cause him any attraction."

(As the doors bursts open, rap music was being played as one of the most obnoxious clans were arriving at the party, being socially loud while the leader walked in eating boneless spicy flavored wings from another Realm.)

"Lord Wing (Clan Leader | Race: Guardian | Sinner Rating: 8 Stars): Alright everyone! The Heroic Crusaders are here at last! The party can truly begin!!"

(As most of the Strays and Clans attending the party were disgusted at their behavior, Desari avoided them as he never heard of the Heroic Crusaders but continued to eat. Suddenly, his table was flipped by two clan members of the Heroic Crusaders but did not let it bother him as he cleaned up his dropped food and fixes his table.)

"???: Hey. Need any help?"

(Desari then notices a white haired male Angel with a halo on his head helping out Desari and was seated at the same table as him.)

"Yinlong: Thank you."
"Asmedai (Stray | Race: Angel | Sinner Rating: 6 Stars): Ignore the children over there. They are known as the Heroic Crusaders. They claim to be "heroic" when they're really jerks who abuses their powers."
"Yinlong: I see. How long have they been abusive?"
"Asmedai: A few years. They do whatever they want but they torture the B-Types in non-safe zones and make them watch... unbearable things."
"Yinlong: Unbearable things?"
"Asmedai: It's against God's word for me to speak of such activities but they are bound for the lower depths of Hell."
"Yinlong: Hell? If I may, are you an Angel?"
"Asmedai: Yes. Could you not see my halo?"
"Yinlong: I could not. (Narrating): Angels are mythologically powerful protectors from Heaven and are known as the eyes of God. In the game, Angels are exceptionally powerful offensive attackers and has amazing defense if awakened but are more specialized in the Healing stance when in a party. But an Angel Raid is one of the three hardest raids to complete in Worldly Conquest..."

(As the Heroic Crusaders were once again being jerks, Lord Wing then grabs the microphone pole on stage, swings it as if it was a kendo stick and throws it towards Asmedai's halo which landed a direct hit and smashes the halo into bits as the crusaders were then cheering and whooping for their leader. As Desari then had enough, he'd storm up to the crusaders.)

"Yinlong: You! I believe you owe an Angel an apology."
"Wing Lord: ...?"

(Wing Lord then hops down and looks down on Desari as he did not blink at Wing Lord who was taller than him at 6'3.)

"Wing Lord: Looking a little short there, kid... How about you get the fuck out of my party or we'll kick you out?"

(As Desari was then surrounded by the Heroic Crusaders, he still kept his ground but was aware of the consequences if he began to fight.)

"Yinlong: I'll leave on my own terms, I was invited."
"Wing Lord: Invited huh? Then I'll just bust your face open, pathetic little shrimp!"

(Before a punch could be thrown a red and blue armored wearing Animatronic like character grips Wing Lord's arm with a tight grip and in a threatening tone yet a gentle voice, the Animatronic says:)

"???: You seem to have a death wish attacking people at THIS PARTY AND ACTING LIKE YOU ARE THE BEST! This is an event where Clans and Strays get together to interact and ease themselves from their ongoing battles. NOW, YOU ARE NOT THE BEST NOR WILL YOU EVER BE! If I see you try to hurt another person, I'll bury you twelve feet deep and six feet deeper... BECAUSE MY BLADE WILL BE STICKING OUT OF YOUR CHEST! DO. I. MAKE. MYSELF.. CLEAR...?!"

(Wing Lord then scoffs after a few seconds of silence as the Heroic Crusaders was now ruined of their buzz as the Clans and Strays finally spoke freely and enjoyably now that the Crusaders were gone. Desari then goes back to Asmedai and noticed his halo was reconstructed.)

"Yinlong: I see your halo has reconstructed."
"Asmedai: If I focus my Angelic energy on a part of me that was destroyed, I can exponentially speed up the healing process. Most Angels do excel in self-healing."
"???: Hey! Are you two alright?"
"Yinlong: Yes. I appreciate you stopping him."
"Optimus Primus (Stray | Race: 3rd GEN Animatronic | Sinner Rating: 7 Stars): Hey no problem. This is a gathering event, not some kind of battle arena. You however had guts going against an 8 star like him and the Heroic Crusaders."
"Yinlong: I believed I could handle them. But I did not wish to fight and ruin this tuxedo, I am renting it after all."
"Primus: You're not like most Humans, they'd freak out at the sight of an Animatronic or a strong individual like them or this Angel here."
"Asmedai: Hello."
"???: Primus. Who are these two? Future clients?"
"Primus: Ah right, meet my right hand of the group, II Fupol Moros."
"II Fupol Moros (Stray | Race: Beast | Sinner Rating: 7 Stars): If you two are ever on the verge of death, cower in fear and I will be staring you down as your life flashes before your eyes."
"Yinlong: I believe that won't be happening."
"Fupol: Hm.. We'll see... Yinlong, I mean.. Sinner."
"Yinlong: What was that?"

(As most Strays overheard the name, most turned around to the tuxedo wearing Desari but had their doubts as three Strays were interested in the name.)

"Fupol: Oh nothing."
"Yinlong: Hm. Well, I had my fun here. I never got your name actually-"

(He'd turn around to notice the Angel disappeared as Desari then got to know Fupol and Primus then begins to return the tuxedo before returning to the 1st Realm in the Commoner Fields. As Desari felt the presence that he was being followed, he'd stop where he was walking then goes down a well-lit alley inconspicuously but suddenly vanishes as he then appears at the front of the formalwear store and returns the tuxedo. After so, he'd then return to the Commoner Fields in the 1st realm with a smile ready for the villagers.)

"Murabu (B-Type | Race: Human | Child Villager): Yinlong's back!!!"

(As most of the children were running out of their houses to see the return of Yinlong, he'd hug each and every one of them as he could as the adults were just as happy to see him, including the village chief.)

"Village Chief: Welcome home, Yinlong..! How was the party...?"
"Yinlong: I'm not much of a city guy. I prefer the quiet life in the village I love and the village that took me in."
"Village Chief: Please, let us host a celebration for your safe return!"
"Yinlong: I can't say no to the village's cooking, I'm down!"

(As they all cheered, Yinlong and the villagers interacted with one another, played games, socialized and did as much as they could together until it was time to eat. Meanwhile in the 77th Realm of Worldly Conquest known as the Zero Gravity Sphere, the ruler of the realm was informed of Sinner's return to the game and how he has changed under a new persona and lives with the commoners.)

"Dakakos (Stray | Race: Beast | Sinner Rating: 6 Stars): So my former captain is finally back online? And he's under a new persona now, hiding from his past? That fool couldn't defeat all of us and now we run our own operations in our own way. If we even do cross paths again, the outcome will be the same. He'll die, again... and again... and again. Let's play a game, Sinner... It's called, Chess. Except, only the King battles the weaklings to the strongest of the bunch."
