Tsubasa: "Okay, what do you want?"

Ryujin: "Nothing."

Tsubasa: "Then why did you message me?"

Ryujin: "Just for fun."

Tsubasa: "Okay."

Ryujin thinks for a moment. "What should i do now? Oh, I know—I can play Hearts and Woods Online again." He logs into HADO and runs into Tsubasa.

Tsubasa: "Yo, what are you doing?"

Ryujin: "Ah, nothing, just grinding a bit."

Tsubasa: "Need help?"

Ryujin: "Sure, if you're down to play."

Tsubasa shows Ryujin somethings he hasn't seen yet—a place with level 20 sheep, some mysterious worms, and mean archers. After they play together, Ryujin decides to end their fun at level 15.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Ryujin: "I had so much fun!"

Tsubasa: "Yeah, that was fun. Let's play again sometime."

Ryujin: "For sure! Let me just add you on HADO and YOCORD."

Tsubasa: "Okay."

Tsubasa goes offline after that. Then Takumi comes online.

Takumi (in the server): "Guys, there's going to be an event soon, so you all have to join!"

Ryujin: "What's the event about?"

Takumi: "It's the first anniversary of Hearts and Woods Online!"

Ryujin: "Oh, okay. So there's going to be new stuff?"

Takumi: "I don't know; I hope there will be."

Ryujin: "Takumi, do you want to play HADO?"

Takumi: "Ah, sorry, I'm busy right now. We'll play another time."

Ryujin: "Okay, that's fine."

Ryujin plays alone for a while, reaching level 17. However, the game starts to get too hard for him. Two days later, Takumi announces,

Takumi: "Guys, the anniversary is here!"

Ryujin: "That's good."

Tsubasa: "That's scary, Takumi."

Takumi: "What's scary?"

Ryujin: "It's very funny! He's scared of messages!"

Takumi: "What? LOL."

Tsubasa: "I'm not scared! It just caught me off guard."

Takumi: "Oh, okay. So, do you guys want to join the guild quest today?"

Ryujin and Tsubasa: "Yes!"

Then Yuuto comes out of nowhere, saying, "I'M COMING TOO!"

Takumi: "Okay, join HADO..."
