Avis was tired and sweaty. She lay down on the floor, but suddenly got up. Aiiieeee, she forgot to start recording.

" Sei, I'll be going now!" She shouted.

" Okay, but remember rto come back, I'm technically your official blacksmith now. Put that info into your 'menu' as you players call it. "

Avis ren out the door and evetually found her way back to the main square. She sat down on a bench and noticed that there were less player than before. She ignored the thought and opened her menu. She tapped on the settings and then the record button. When she dismissed her menu, a small pyamid hovered above her head. She looked at it and said " Hello everybody, this is Nightowl. Currently, I'm playing the new VMMORPG called Aetheria online. I haven't really made much progress. All I did was try it out and take up one quest. It seems fun and I'm sure you'll enjoy seeing what's inside. If I don't speak much, please forgove me. It may be because other players or citizens are watching me. "

Avis looked around her and saw that all the other players were staring at her and whispering loudly.

" Is that Nightowl? "

" What's she doing in a game like this?"

A little girl ran up to her and said " Would you like to join my party? I'll send you an invite."

Avis  considered it and eventually said " Sure. " Her menu popped up amd it said

Would you like to join a party.

Request by Liane

yes. no.

Avis took a quick glance and pressed yes. The other people started whispering again and they rushed towards her. Her menu popped up and due to the large amount of requests, Avis activated her burster and summoned in latge blobs of water over everyone's heads. It dropped and everyone, including herself got soaked. While the people were worrying over their wet armour, Avis tried to activate her wings. She imagined it flapping up and down and suddenly, she rose to the sky. There was a soft buzz, but she felt nothing except her backbones moving. She smiled and zipped up to the island directly above her.

When she was flying over the treetops, she felt great, but she felt her backbones stop moving. Her wings disappeared and she fell onto one of the branches of a tree. Luckily the branch was huge.

Uhhh, everything hurts now, but when she checked her hp bar at the corner of her line of sight, she noticed that she didn't take any damage.

When she got up, her menu popped up stating that she had a new message.

I'm on the tree where you are standing. Just run into the trunk. It seems like it will hurt, but trust me, The main illusion burster has done a good job with it.

Avis was about to dash into the tree, but suddenly, she got second thoughts. Well, I guess it's wotprth a try. She ran into the giant trunk, but she didn't hit it. Instead, she went through it. Inside, was a giant kitchen. Liane was cooking something that smelled so good. She looked behind her and saw Avis or Nightowl standing by the wall.

" Hello, welcome to the Lionheart base." Liane annonced " Let's get you out of that petty excuse of an armour."
