It has been two days since the disappearance of the second eldest son of the Ichiharu family along with others who had been online during the mass disappearance of [Kismet Online].
“Okay Takamoto… I’ve reconfigured your [Gaia sphere], added five more security measures and another thick wall of data just in case you run into trouble so; don’t be surprised if your character ‘lags out’ for a little while…” Takamoto could hear the slight worry in the fourth child’s voice as he began typing away on his computer terminal. It looked old but he knew that it was just his brother’s aesthetic tastes. Anything in his machinery was NEVER old.
“Brother… I am worried on how you were able to procure such… advanced items.” Takamoto took a look around his older brother’s room that was in a word: Unorganized. All the items were top grade circuitry, computer parts and… “Is that a robotic arm?” Takamoto sighed. He didn’t get his brother at all.
“Don’t mind it. That’s a new project I am working on…” Hyakuren faked a cough. “Now back to the business on hand: I think we can find brother still in the game I introduced him to: [Kismet online].” Hyakuren began typing away on his computer and an in-game avatar of his brother came up along with his stats.
Hayato, still with his white hair and mismatched eyes, was wearing the [Jazerant armor] of maroon. He had chosen the [Foxling] subspecies of the [Demi-human] race if the nine fox tails were not a giveaway. “Wait… nine tails? How is that even possible?”
“That is the same question some of the server moderators were thinking of. How did he get nine tails when the game was programmed to allow only NPC to increase their number of tails? He’s not an NPC that’s for sure. Not only that; look at his [Player Information].” Hyakuren pointed towards the player status information on the screen.
Takamoto turned his attention to the lower part of the screen and what he saw almost made his jaw drop.

Why are you making that look? I know those stats are monstrous but don’t you realize that the [Moon] was NEVER an alignment to begin with in-game? ”
“I guess… somehow that does make sense… The moon can only be accessed by people who have done the [Moon Princess] quest and to complete the quest: one needed to be at least level 140 with good equipment.” Takamoto recalled his first time on the [Moon] of [Kismet Online] and shuddered. He had been squashed, decapitated, pierced, melted, poisoned and other deathly encounters with its inhabitants.
“See? And even then we DON’T get aligned with the moon and merely set up trade relations with them. How come he has the alignment with the [Moon]?” Hyakuren faced his computer again and began typing. “Anyway, the point being: Our brother is too awesome.”
Takamoto could not help but agree with his eccentric older brother. “How did you get his information anyway?” Takamoto inquired which only garnered him a pause from his brother before continuing with typing. “You hacked their database didn’t you?” a small nod made Takamoto sigh. Leave it to his older brother to do something reckless.
“Don’t sweat it… Now lie down on the bed and put on your [Gaia Sphere]. I’ll monitor you from this side and if anything happens: I’ll try and help.” Hyakuren mentioned towards the bed.
Takamoto sighed again but nonetheless did as he was told to and lied down on the bed. He put on the [Gaia sphere] which was shaped oddly like the one in S**** **t ****ne. (If you don’t know this then you have probably not watched a lot of mainstream animes). He calmed his breathing and stared at the user interface for 15 seconds before starting. “Mind-on”
Takamoto felt a slight tug on his subconscious but something felt off. Another tug and then something happened. The UI on the visor became began flickering.
“I’m not going to let you!” a rather banshee-like scream filled the room originating from Hyakuren’s computer.
Takamoto then began to feel as if he was burning. He could feel something clawing at his mind, causing him to scream in pain. He could make out his brother standing up and coming over to him in a hurry and saying something but he could not make out any noise other than the repeat of “I won’t let you!”
In a desperate attempt: Takamoto tried to take off his visor but he could not even move his legs much less his arms. He felt something sink into his shoulder and felt himself being pulled over somewhere before blacking out.
In the room where the two were in before: only one person remained and it was Hyakuren, who was shocked to see his younger brother disappear right before him.
===================================================
***Takamoto, ???, ???***
Everything around him was black. He could not see anything past the inky darkness but he could feel himself being moved through the air. As if he was being led somewhere while floating. How was he there? He was in his brother’s room just a moment ago…
It was then Takamoto remembered the stinging sensation on his shoulders. It did not feel like the ‘things’ that pierced his shoulder were hooks but by the sheer number he had detected when the stinging sensation entered his shoulders: it must have been some kind of maw with sharp teeth.
He could not hear anything; he could not see and now: he could not even move. No matter how hard he tried, none of his limbs were moving yet he could still breathe easily. He decided that instead of wasting his energy on worrying over something he could not control; he should stay as calm as possible.

“Extraction of body complete… Time to start avatar assimilation…”
Takamoto could make out a voice; a female voice that oddly sounded like the one that screamed in Hyakuren’s room.
Takamoto then began to feel his senses returning. One by one his senses returned. First was his sense of taste: He could taste the remaining taste of the melon bread he ate before coming to his brother’s. Next were his sense smell and hearing: He could make out the different noises of people chattering, oddly in Japanese, and the smell of different food in the air. Then his sense of touch returned: He could feel the fabric of the clothing he had on. It felt like wool, and on his feet he could feel an alien leather feeling of wearing someone else’s shoes.
Lastly was his sense of sight. When his vision returned: Takamoto knew that he was no longer in his own world. All around him were buildings of oriental origins and people of different [Races]. There was no trace of the room he was in before.
Welcome to the world of Kismetia! We hope you enjoy your stay!

Takamoto closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm his quickly beating heart. He was no longer in his brother’s room. He was now IN the world of [Kismetia] so he did what he always did when it he logged in: Inspect his [Player Menu].

Takamoto blinked. His race has been changed and his alignment has also been altered into [Moon]. Not only that: his stats have been reverted as well as being moved to a different [Server]. He was already feeling that he had stepped on a landmine. Was it the owner of that [Voice] that did this to him? In fact: What did she mean by she will not let them. Let them do what?
Takamoto quickly shook his head. ‘I need to stop thinking about that. I have no idea who she was or why she did this’ but one thing is for sure: He needed to get back to [Aura] and to get back there: he needed to get to level 100 quickly.
So with a goal set in mind: Takamoto quickly brought up his [Map] from his [Player Menu] and memorized the general map of [Eastland Federation] version of [Shinzan Town] before heading towards the main gate.
You need to wait for a week before you can leave the town
But first: He needed to pass time until he could get out of the town.
-End of Prologue-

No matter what I do, no matter how many times I have edit the post: The tables keep getting scrambled! I have tried, for the last 2 hours, to change the position of the information on Hayato but nothing, NOTHING has changed. I have no idea what is going on. Can someone PM me what i am doing wrong here? the help would be VERY appreciated.
