[Real World]
At night, in the room of a simple house, a girl was sitting on the edge of her bed remembering something that seemed fun to her. Her pretty face featured a thin smile with a slight red hue adorning her cheeks. The girl laid her body down and she stared at a helmet with the name Cloud Gear on a small table near her bed while recalling something fun again.
"Ah, it feels like guiding the newbie is so much fun huh."
The girl muttered softly, she then looked at the ceiling of her room.
"Yuna is great. I don't think he's a newbie, but a veteran player who may have just created an account at FWO."
The girl recalled how a player with an adult female character named Yuna in some moments, the player recklessly advanced in front of her monster even though she used a bow weapon intended to attack from a distance.
"So, is she really a woman or Fakegirl? The character is so beautiful."
The girl raised her hand up and made a slashing motion with her hand.
"Pretending to be a man is hard. About Riky how she felt when I messed with her when I wasn't her boyfriend."
The girl dropped her hand just like that as a glimpse of a young man's face flashed through her mind.
"I'd better get some sleep, there's no point thinking about that right now."
The girl yawned while covering her mouth with one of her hands.
"Good sleep…"

Avante, Sofya city.]
Yuna was sitting on a bench in Sofya. After he made it out of Sofya's underground labyrinth, he immediately went to the city's garden after asking the NPCs on the road earlier. Yuna fell silent as she stared at the FWO sky with a disappointed face as she recalled what caused her to return even faster to the VR world.
'Rini, why did you do that? What is less than me?'
Yuna sighed in disappointment, she then stood intending to leave however...
"Hey hey, look there's a woman who's upset. Hey, lady, are you heartbroken? If so, how about we treat with our fun game, you'll definitely be entertained, won't you guys?"
"Yes, hehehe."
"Hehe of course."
Yuna sighed looking at the three players in front of her, she then opened the menu and sent a duel invitation to the three players. There are two types of duel in FWO, RvR duel and SvS duel. The RvR Duel or Squad VS Squad is a duel that Yuna is currently using. While SvS duel is the default system of a Game that is none other than One VS One duel.
"Hoho's? You agree to play with us? Hehe's good, though not real but... Ugh!?"
Yuna instantly fired an arrow at the leading player after the player received an invitation for a RvR duel from her.
"Less it! Attack him and strip him of his clothes!"
"okay!"
"Ready!"
Yuna leapt back as the two players charged at her with their weapons of one-handed swords and spears. As Yuna jumped she could freely fire her arrows at the two players.
"Cih, bow users are really troublesome when invited to a duel. (But, judging by the look of his bow he must be a new player. Hehehe, this will be easy.)"
At least that was the mind of the leader of the group of players who was currently in a feud with Yuna, without realizing an awkwardness to the player who was being fought by his two friends.
New players do not mean beginners, what else if the player himself directly invites a duel RvR, and the leader of the group of players was not aware of the irregularity...

[Real World]
Around 11pm Aziz logged out of the FWO feeling upset, it was because when he was pondering suddenly there were 3 players who foolishly wanted to commit crimes against him, or rather on the character of Yuna.
After he defeated them in a RvR duel, he took the rewards of that duel to which he was entitled. When a player duels, there are two types of absolute prizes in the MMORPG VR world, first the agreed upon prize and second the unspecified prize. For those who do not make a deal like the duel that Yuna did earlier, the prize that the winner will get is money in the Game which is the property of the losing player, the right of the winning player is half of the total money that the losing player has. Indeed, this feature is quite detrimental for novice players even though they are already high-leveled, but it is also a warning to all players that dueling has a risk even though it is not death so no player will carelessly accept the challenge of dueling from other players for fear losing their money.
Aziz sat down and took off his Cloud Gear which seemed to have faded from his Cloud Gear writing. Aziz kept the device on a small table beside his bed.
'The first day there was no meaningful information. Tomorrow I'm going to VR Neet to get information from the people there.'
Aziz then lay in his bed and slept to cut time...

[VR Neett]
Aziz sat on one of the seats that was closest to a group of young people chatting. Aziz watched and listened to what was and was talked about by the people in the VR Neet.
"Yesterday was really dizzying huh, luckily it could teleport otherwise what would have happened to us in that illusion forest."
"Stuck in there is really scary because our character won't disappear even if we log out."
"I won't go to that place again."
Aziz let out a slight sigh as he did not hear anyone talking about the incident of the slain player nor talk about Hidden Mission having the conditions to complete it was very awkward for a mission in need big squad. Aziz stood up and walked over to the group of young people.
"Hi, it looks like you guys are out of a bit of trouble huh."
Hearing the voice of someone talking made them turn their head and see a young man walking towards them.
"You who?"
Aziz stopped when he was close to their seat.
"My name is Aziz, can I join you?"
"certainly please. I'm Leon and they're my friends, she's Lucy, she's Bambang, Siska and she's Zahra." Leon said to let Aziz as well as introduce his friends.
"Greetings."
"Greetings know you too."
Aziz smiled slightly in response to their friendly-sounding response to him. Aziz sat in an empty seat there.
"Are you also playing FWO, Aziz?" Ask Leon.
"I'm playing but for now I'm just playing around."
"Whizzing?" Lucy asked confusedly.
"Yes, I'm just walking around there."
"Why just go for a walk, why not just play like a player in general?" Ask Bambang wonder.
"I have a job related to death in the game, I have to be careful because it's quite dangerous even though it can't be ascertained one hundred percent truth."
"The death case? Hm... In the FWO there has indeed been such a death but the information is covered by the parties who know it, it will be difficult to find information about the incident now." Leon is serious.
"Yes, you're right about that." Aziz said, he also took out his smartphone.
"Can we be friends? I really need information about the incident and doing it alone is really very difficult to get information, outside or in the game." Aziz.
"Of course we can be friends, and again I'm also investigating the case at the request of the victim's family." Said Leon.
"Isn't that a coincidence? We can work together to uncover this case." Aziz.
"I'm not using Simcard, but Smartwifi." Aziz.
Smartwifi is a modern internet network that has a function like wifi in general but this Smartwifi is installed on devices such as smartphones as a replacement for the old Simcard because this Smartwifi will connect anyone and anywhere with an internet connection the stable only uses code that has been adjusted by its users and once set will not be replaced again. To use Smartwifi smartphone one must install the Smartdial application in lieu of the built-in dial application of their smartphone because someone using Smartwifi needs some sort of scan QR code to display the Smartwifi address they want to contact.
"Then show me your code." Leon said while opening the Smartdial application on his smartphone.
Aziz also opens Smartdial and goes into the My Profile menu, Aziz then presses the letter A with a unique font. When Aziz pressed the letter A a QR code appeared, Aziz then showed the code to Leon who immediately scanned Leon with his smartphone. On the smartphone Leon appears the letter A on the smartphone Aziz earlier and also listed the name Aziz Azlords above the letter A.
"You can call me if you get any information about that, Leon. Right now I have to go back and log in to continue my search." Aziz said as he stood up from his seat.
"All right, but can we meet in the game later? I think we need to make contact there too." Said Leon.
"Sure, but the account I currently use is not my main account. Her character's name is Yuna, you can come up to me if you see her." Aziz.
"Yuna's? Female character?" Ask Leon.
"Yes, for the anticipation of getting caught by someone because my main account will be immediately known to that person. Yeah, I'll be there, see you." Aziz walked away from Leon and his friends while waving his hands without looking back.
"Do you think he can be trusted, Leon?" Tanya Bambang is serious.
"Azlords, I've heard of a title like that in FWO, and that title with Legendary has never gotten it." Leon said while remembering Aziz's last name.
"Azlords? What are you talking about Leon?" Zahra asked confusedly.
"Yes right, why are you saying that?" Ask Siska.
"Aziz's last name was Azlords and I'm sure it wasn't his surname, it must have been there because of the Smartwifi system." Said Leon.
"What does this have to do with what I asked you?" Ask Bambang sweatdrop.
"If my assumptions are not wrong, Smartwifi gives the last names Azlords and Azladys to users who are professional players of VR Games. I don't know for sure what the Smartwifi system looks like, but..." Leon's words came to a halt as Bambang shouted.
"Because that's... What does that have to do with my question?!" Everyone in VR Neet turned to look at the source of the scream and Bambang's friends were sweatdrop as Leon did not listen and instead ignored the young man's question.
"Sometimes he's also pretty annoying, or hard to understand." Siska Sweatdrop.

[Fantasy World Online's
Avante, Sofya City.]
Yuna walked around the park last night and she met a group of players. Yuna approached them.
"What are you guys doing?"
All the players who were there turned their heads when someone asked.
"We found the location of Hidden Mission but our level is not enough at the moment." Said one of the players there.
'Hidden Mission? It looks like HM here is still a small level but the one called Hidden Mission must be a pretty good reward. Let me see the terms first.'
"May I see the terms?" Ask Yuna.
"certain. This Hidden Mission requires players of level 50 and above, but players of smaller levels can enter if led by players of level 50 and above." Said another player.
Yuna walked over and touched a small portal surrounded by players in the bushes. The moment Yuna touched it a notification window appeared and informed the requirements to enter the portal to where Hidden Mission was located.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=<<\=>>\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
Hidden Mission: Save the Princess
Reward: Elfin Bow
Requirements: Level 50 or higher.
(Under-level players can participate if led by players of level 50 or higher)
The warning!
Your level is too low to enter this mission location, create a squad with a level 50 leader if you want to enter it.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=<<\=>>\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
'Hm... HM I can still get in. I need a player who meets the requirements to enter.'
Yuna pulled back her hand and looked at all the players who were there.
'I guess they haven't met the requirements either.'
When Yuna was busy with her thoughts several players came near to where she was, those players had the appearance of a dashing knight with golden armor cladding their bodies and do not forget their weapons that had a similar color to the armor they wore.
"By your side, our losers will pass."
Thoughtful Yuna had to turn her gaze towards the four players with similar but not the same appearance who were walking towards her or perhaps towards the small portal that was the path to the Hidden location The mission found by the players around him.
"What do you want? This Hidden Mission is only for small-leveled players!"
"True, you guys who already have good equipment don't need to come here!"
"Did? There's no rule against us coming here, you better leave before we force you to duel with us."
All the players who were there except Yuna took a step back to avoid the coercive duel that might have a very bad impact on them.
A coercive duel is a condition in which a certain player is forced to press a agree button by the challenger or his co-challenger by moving the hand of the challenged player to press the agree button after the challenger sends an invitation dueling. This forced duel has been a terror for small-level players since Red Player named Reaper did it in front of many players in the city of Galvan on the Halvangard continent when there was a small-level player straying there because of the use of teleportation crystal. Since then small-level players have sometimes been exposed to these coercive duels and the effects of those duels have made small-leveled players unable to develop as they should because they have lost their money partly to serve a prize for the winner.
Yuna who was silent from earlier finally stepped closer to the four golden armoured players.
"I thought you guys were knights, but it turns out you're just a bunch of junk that forgot to recycle." Yuna said flatly.
"What did you say?! How dare you insult us! You know who we are?!"
"I don't know and don't want to know." Said Yuna replying to the angry words of the player who had the name Lores.
"You!" Lores sends a dueling invitation to Yuna and her three other friends to walk up to Yuna and force Yuna to press the agree button.
All the players who were there were shocked when they saw the roughness of the three players who had just arrived it forced Yuna who they thought was a woman to have a forced duel with the player named Lores.
'Hah~ sucks. I'll make them regret.' Yuna's inner being Aziz.
"Heh, now your money will be mine." Said Lores grinning.
"Sorry, look at my level now and look at my weapon." Yuna said.
Hearing Yuna's words made Lores look at Yuna's new level 35 and Yuna's weapon which was just a new player's base bow.
"Are you aware? Aren't you ashamed of forcing new players to duel?" Yuna said while holding her basic bow.
For a moment Lores was silent until she laughed.
"Hahaha, embarrassed? If I lose a new duel I'll be embarrassed, if it's just forcing the player to duel I should be ashamed it's not me it's Hahaha!"
Yuna was silent but Aziz grinned.
'Good, I will make him understand the difference in his abilities with me.'
"That's it? Then let's just start the duel."
Seriate...
