On the game forums, videos started to pop up of the events that happened in the Florium Empire. The videos showed a classic parade, people cheering and waving at the performers. Then you would notice a person walking up to the line of soldiers asking a question, next that person would say something that made the soldier look confused. Then BOOM!. The person would explode killing the people around them. Screams and panic spread through the crowd while other explosions went off in different parts of the parade. The Florium military lived up to its name and immediately scrambled to action, trying to take control of the situation. That's when people in masks and cloaks started their slaughter, attacking from the crowds killing residents, players, and soldiers alike. Nobody safe.
The recording went off as the player recording it was killed, next a different video played showing the cratered streets and dead florium soldiers and mysterious attackers on the streets mixed in with the unlucky residents and players that could not find cover in time. The camera turned towards more sounds of explosions, catching the player off guard. In the distance you could see fighting going on down the street at the mayor's palace. Soon the camera turned as if something grabbed the players attention. Coming from the opposite end of the street was a hundred soldiers it looked like. Leading at the front was the Emperor himself! What was emperor Evergreen doing here? He should be in the capital city right? This shocked countless players. Some of the soldiers blocked off the area while the emperor and the rest headed for the palace. The player recording was forced back and the video was shut off.
Next another video from the player before started to play. A large fighter drone flew over the player head and towards the palace gates. The camera zoomed in to show a large crowd. One group was the emperor and his soldiers and the other was the mysterious group that attacked the city. In front of the masked cloaked group was a man..no..a player! Who was holding a women. It was Princess Lucila! Who was said to went missing after being attacked. So that means this mysterious group did it! The drone aimed its gun at the player who seemed to be the leader. Next a soldier near the player recording shouted enemy aircraft, causing the camera to turn on a cruiser heading for the palace then there was an explosion. The camera turned around to see the drone crashing to the ground, burning in a ball of flame and smoke. You could not see the two groups anymore through the drone wreckage, the soldiers threatened the player to leave the area. Next was a series of videos of a cruiser being chased by two fighters throughout the city skies.
The video ended, the world was sent into an uproar. Who was that player and masked group? News stations scrambled inside the game to get more details. It didn't take long for information about the group to appear. A user by the name MeowMeow posted on the games forum.
MeowMeow: so everyone is wondering who these group of people are? I am a merchant in the game, and in my travels I have seen these group of masked men before. A year ago I was approached by this group. I was in the Gracious Empire at the time, so with this it can be said that this organization is in other continents too. Anyway they asked to buy a large order of hydro food, which we all know is used if your going to be in outer obit for a long period of time. They ordered enough food for 50,000 people. It was the biggest sale in my career. Through other merchants I heard of similar transactions. Building material, power cores, weapons, drones, slaves. It was nothing they did not buy. I learned all this months after my transaction, then they disappeared as quickly as they came. Pretty soon l learned they are a cult called New Order. They only recently popped up. But what's strange is that a few days after the meeting, I was approached by an imperial investigation officer. He asked if I made a transaction with any masked men, I answered him honestly for I did not want to get in trouble. Next all he asked was what they brought from me, after I told him he thanked me and gave me a few credits then left. So this means the games government has noticed this group. What's even scarier is that everyone who sold these people anything was approached by some form of government official. Who ever this New Order group is, they are up to something. I do not know if this is a player based group because each sale was done by NPC’s. So this could be a new game event in the works?

Soon the post blew up and became the most shared topic in the world, many comments and ideas was shared with the post but not many people knew much more.
Xiler slowly opened his eyes, he stretched his body as it felt stiff from lying down to long. Xiler headed towards the shower getting ready for school. After a light breakfast Xiler headed down stairs, greeting him was a row of men and bowing. “Morning boos!” they yelled. This did not phase Xiler as he was used to this. Heading towards the door there was a man dressed in a black suit. “Good morning young master.” the man said. “Are you ready for your first day back at school?” In response to the man Xiler just nodded his head and proceed to the car outside.
In the car the man sat in front of Xiler with a smile on his face. Xiler had his hand under his chin looking out the window. “Do I really need to go back to highschool Victor?” Xiler said. Victor shook his. “Why of course young master, your father may have sent you over here to run this branch but he still expects you to get a education.” Xiler frowned after hearing victors words. He could see his father now say. “High School is where men are born! If I did not go to High school then how would I know what the true pleasures of a women was! AHAHAHAHAH!” Xiler subconsciously rubbed his back, remembering his father's habit of patting his back when he laughed.
“By the way young master, it seems another batch of weapons was stolen from one of warehouses last night.” hearing this xilers eyes turned cold. “Do we know who is behind it?” Xiler said. “As of right now..no. but we have a lead.” Victor said reassuringly. Soon the car pulled up in front of the school building. “Have a good day young master.” victor said laughing, knowing Xiler was upset. Xiler got out of the car and sighed. “Let's get this over with.”
I started to walk with the crowds of students heading inside. You could see students meeting up with their friends before the bell rings, laughing and talking about some subject. Soon students had started to move inside for the bell was about to ring. Xiler took a piece of paper out of his pocket. It said for Xiler to head towards the principles office when he arrived, leaving instructions on how to get there. After asking around Xiler found his way to the principal's office and knocked on the door. “Come in.” A voice on the other side said. I opened the door and saw a old man with white hair and a white beard sitting behind a desk. “Ah you must be the new student , come in take a seat.” I shut the door and took a seat. The old man looked at me with a smile on his face. ”Welcome to Shaw Academy young man I am principle Henderson nice to meet you.”He said shaking my hand over the desk. “ As you know we are the top rated school in the country, and only accept the elites of society. So when your father called me, and told me his son will be coming I was all but excited! Now young man I will say this now and only once….I do not like trouble that would ruin the reputation of this school. Do we understand each other? ” The principle gave me a stern look. I nodded my head in understanding so I could hurry up and get out of the room. The old man nodded in satisfaction. “Good. now you will be in class 1A starting to today so hurry along to class.”
I said thank you to the old man and walked out of his office. Finally finding my way to the classroom I knocked on the door and walked in. as I opened the door a fist flew towards my face, and my instincts kicked in. grabbing the hand I used the attackers momentum to twist their arm, while using it to also swing their body to the wall beside me. Pinning the figure to the wall raising their arm behind their back.
That's when a voice behind me shouted. “Nanami that's not luke!” seeing as there was some misunderstanding I let the attacker go. Turns out the attacker was a female student named Nanami, she had long smooth brown hair and a light skin tone. Her eyes was a fierce blue as she stared daggers at me. “What's your problem?!” Nanami said. I looked at her for a second and sucked my teeth. “Tch. I was only trying not to get hit.” suddenly there was a kick coming for the side of my face, but I had already seen it coming. Casually blocking the side if my face with my arm. “Humphf. You got skill.” I said. This seemed to piss Nanami off. The class room was silent as everyone watched are exchange. Nanami seemed like she was about to do something else when the door to the classroom opened. “Ok class take your seats. Nanami whatever you was doing can stop now.” Nanami blew out a puff of air and stomped to her seat leaving me at the front of the class with the teacher. The teacher was a slim man with a buzzcut, he was taller than me reaching 6’8. “Ah you must be the new student! Welcome! My name is Mr.Unima it's nice to meet you.” he said patting my back. The class studied me, I could hear some girls saying I was cute. “Would you please introduce yourself for the class?”
“Sure.” I said. And stood to where the whole class could see me. “My name is Xiler Tazami, it is nice to meet you.”
