Hey everyone, Aura.Bro here. This is my first fanfic and hope you enjoy it. Have fun and tell me what you think.
"--- and as such, I eagerly await for all your wonderful future, as your teacher for these long years, I hope that ---"
'Come on, come on! Ring already you stupid bell! Teach would put me to sleep in this case!'
"You are now all graduates from being highschoolers, but this is not the end! In fact this is just the beginning! Some of you chose to get a job, some go to colleges and universities, some not yet undecided but either way you all---" the old wrinkled face of the teacher that seemed lost on his speech was cut short as the bells soon tolled.
*Bell Chime*
"Alright! Finally!" A man, just fresh out of high school jumped from his seat and dashed straight from his seat to the door in a matter of seconds, completely ignoring the callings of his now former teacher.
"Crow! No running in the hallway!" His voice did not even reach the person named crow as he was already out from earshot.
----------------------------------------
"Now, where was this so called game company again, hmmm..." Crow looked at the pamphlet in his hand as he walked... No, wandered around aimlessly.
"Come on miss, it won't take long. We're just getting some tea, some food. You know, the norm and stuff." Though faint, Crow was able to hear it. Wondering what was going on, he decided to have a little peek at the commotion that others decided to ignore.
"I already told you, no thanks. I'm in a hurry and you're taking up my time, so if possible, would you please move?" Though the girl asked him to move, she forcefully shoved the thug to the side causing him to stumble and get angry.
"Why you, I was asking nicely for your sake but if that's how you want it!" He raised his fist and was ready to strike the girl when he felt a sudden pull on his arm.
"You shouldn't try to hit a girl. It's just not right."
"Huh?!" The man was seething with anger, not taking a second, he swung his open arm to the wannabe hero. The hero was Crow. He didn't even dodge and took it head on.
"You done now? It's my turn right?" Without missing his chance, he quickly swerved to the side and swung his arm, his target? The thug's chin. In one strike, the thug was down.
"Humph, weak punk. By the way miss, are you okay?" He decided to change his attention to the harassed woman but the looks she was giving him was a bit... Different than what he expected.
The normal expression should be happy, and thanking him for helping but the expressions he's receing was nothing like that.
"I hope you're not expecting any reward. I'm in a hurry so I have no time for this."
'One, a thank you would be good enough, two, what's with the attitude?!' Of course this protest was all in crow's head.
"Well, of course not, but if possible, would you know where this place is?" Deciding to be polite, he showed the pamphlet to her and her expression suddenly changed! For a small fraction of a second anyways.
"You're also a tester?" Ignoring her oh so obvious demeaning voice, Crow simply nodded.
"Follow me then. I suppose with you, thugs like this one won't hassle me on the way."
Other people were looking at the downed thug as a police officer was nearing their location. Someone probably called the PD hotline.
Not wanting any more trouble, they hurriedly escaped the crime scene.

"Finally here! Thanks for your help... Huh?" As soon as they got to their specified location, she suddenly vanished. He thinks they'll probably meet again so he didn't mind.
A few minutes of waiting and a man soon called the others attention. He started with introductions and simple stuff. Crow didn't listen to these parts.
"---Since the sudden boom of VRMMO, games have become the highlight of not just our countries... But the countries of the whole world! But lately, even though the experience of VRMMO games are realistic, the contents themselves are quite repetitive. It's just like a graphics update that made the game prettier, but no more. We made a game that has been released a month ago, 'Unchained Destinies'. This game, takes everything to a whole new level. Where as normal games where you just kill and kill and kill to level up, ours has a real world system!"
The crowd that was gathered murmured to one another as the speaker continued his speech.
"All your questions can only be answered by yourselves. Now as to why I gathered you all here. We are searching for game moderators, game staff to be exact and thought, what better way than to get the players themselves! With that out of the way, those that are now playing the game will you please raise your hands."
More than half of the people raised their hands.
"We will require you to surrender your G.E.A.R. we will of course give new ones in exchange, this is to ensure that all testers will have a fair chance against one another. And for those without G.E.A.R.s raise your hands so we can hand you your own."
The process was quite slow but it didn't matter to Crow, for him, this was going to be his first time experience with Virtual games and he will run straight home and play it.
"Also, before I dismiss you, I just want to announce that this, is a competition. Only ten will be chosen as the moderators. Don't worry though, you will all be paid for the duration of your testing. Every month, we will give you approximately 150,000 won. But don't think its that easy, we will check your characters from time to time to check who's going to be chosen so without further ado... Have fun."
With his last words, everyone who filed their respective information and has gotten their game console ran straight home, Crow included.
----------------------------------------
"Some people say games like these are like those games I used to play, job systems and all that. This is so going to be fun!" He connected it to the Internet and after double checking that everything was fine, he laid down and started the game.
