On a December morning, Hitori, who was standing on a bridge, took a glance at the babbling river below.
Standing near the iron railings, Hitori stared at a black, eleven inches wand that had a thick bottom and a pointed, slim end.
Then, Hitori turned around. "Thanks." he lifted his arm and threw his wand over the bridge with all of his strength.
His hood slid down, revealing his dark black hair. His bangs, that were covering his eyes, bounced; revealing his deep blue eyes.
Hitori's wand made an arc and reached its peak before it fell into the river, then drowned away.
Hitori stood there, staring at the horizon. He then walked down the bridge.
Hitori was surrounded by different shops, Tokyo's people, and a few houses on his way down the street.
He finally reached his destination after a few minutes of a slow walk. He took a deep breath and entered the city Vr-cade.
"Welco." He looked at his side, a morning fairy welcod him by bowing her tiny little head. Hitori nodded, he walked to the counter.
The lady at the counter welcod Hitori with a smile. "Welco, Hitori-san," she bowed her head, "the ga: Monogatari, I guess?"
Hitori pulled out his card and gave her a nod. "Please." She accepted his card and asked:
"For six hours, I presu?" Hitori stared at the beautiful smile for a while. She knew Hitori would ask for the regular six hours because that was the duration of his school hours.
Hitori replied, "No, make it four for today." His unusual reply stunned the woman.
A slight frown appeared on her face and the smile faded. "Oh… sure."
The lady started checking out Hitori's ga card. "Skipping school for only four hours today, sir?" she asked in a teasing tone.
The lady lifted her eyes to look at Hitori while doing her work, but Hitori looked beyond her.
He lowered his eyes and fixed on her, without saying anything. She smiled once again and processed Hitori's order.
"That will be six-hundred yen, Hitori-san." She stretched out her hand to hand Hitori his card back.
Hitori took out six hundred yen. "I do not know what you are talking about," he turned halfway after he paid his charge and grabbed his card, "I never skip the school."
Hitori turned around, took a glance at his card to check the console station's number that was marked on his card, and walked up to the console station allotted to him.
The counter lady's mouth dropped open, she was left stunned by the young man's reply. Still, her smile made its way back to her face. 'Hitori-san…' she shook her head.
Hitori sat on his chair and inserted his gaming card into a magic circle slot that had appeared on the console station.
While Hitori made himself comfortable in his seat, a magic circle appeared above his head, then a faint magic circle ford above Hitori's head.
When the logging process was done and the ga's nu screen appeared, a ssage flashed on the magic screen.
[Inbox 100 ssages]
His eye twitched. He opened his inbox with more than a hundred ssages even when it had not been even a single day since he last logged in and checked his inbox.
He started going through the ssages, most of them were: 'I will kill you!' or, 'fuck you, you little cheater!' or, 'he is a beta tester! I am sure of it!' or, 'damn you! Give my loot back!' or, 'You dared to kill , hand my equipnt back.' You shitty fucker, I want my items back imdiately or else I will kill you in your own house.'
Yes, most of them were death threats. Almost more than half of the ssages were filled with death threats.
Hitori had won the items legally in fair and square battles. You can not bla him for being better than them at gaming.
He let out a deep sigh. He ignored all of the ssages and searched for a specific soone's ssage.
He swiped up and swiped till his eyes fell on a ssage by 'Daichi the Assassin' he moved his hands quickly to the screen and opened the chat.
"Yo, my friend, ping when you are online," the ssage read, "let us finish the remaining quests!"
Hitori had to log out early yesterday because the new quest, yesterday, would have taken more than an hour to complete, but he had no more than thirty minutes, so he had decided to stop for the day.
Hitori opened the keyboard and it appeared on the table's corner. He typed his ssage. "I am back, let us go." he waited for his friend's reply.
Daichi the Assassin was online so Hitori did not have to wait for more than a minute. "Ah, I was waiting for you, Ryu!"
"I will et you in my room." Hitori texted.
"Sure."
Hitori closed the chat window, leaned back into his chair, closed his eyes, and clicked on the 'log-in' option.
'Monogatari: The Kingdom's Myth' ga's logo appeared in Hitori's mind.
The logo represented the ga's na written in bold Kanji letters with castles and soldiers in the background.
The ga loaded, and soon, he was transmigrated to the ga.
