Ugh, I had a lot of issues with this chapter. I couldn't figure out how to make her less bitchy. Keep it in mind that this is the mage girl, Sherry Potter. I may have cried tears of frustration here.

Day 1
Dear Diary,
Oh god, why am I doing this? After waking up from the cryogenic sleep and discovering the Shop, I met with my younger twin sister, Lisa. We set up our characters with Sis being a Gunner and me being a Mage. Since we edited our characters, we only had 1 Skill and Spell each. Others who didn’t edit their characters, like the infamous Evil Ginger on the forums, got two Skills and one Spell. My Skill was Mana Manipulation, which allowed me to create my own Spells, if I concentrated hard enough. My Spell was a simple fire Spell, Embers Bloom. It cast little fire flowers that exploded into sparks. My sister had Analyze, which we thought was like an Appraisal Skill, but all it did was show weaknesses and things to watch out for. Her Spell was Target which pinpointed an enemy she selected, allowing her to follow them until she got rid of the Spell. Pretty cool, actually. We had spawned into a village far away from the Coliseum, along with what looked like 12 other people. Yes, Sis managed to be with me, making it easier on us. So 14 people in total with only 5 being girls. The first to move was a chubby red headed bearded man over 25. He walked over to the store and came out with a Pickaxe. So he was a Miner. I was a Harvester, hoping to become a Potionmaster or Alchemist or something. Sis chose Fisher so she could become a Pirate. Some other guys followed his actions and left to go get their stuff. Sis and I went to buy stuff using our leftover irl money. We bought some good armor and tools. Afterwards, we logged out to check the forums and Evil Ginger had posted something about checking any bank accounts you used to have. Me and Sis had a joint account for college, and so we had $461,580,045,923.84! Wow! We bought teleporters so we could see each other again and went on a shopping spree. We saved $400 billion and split it so we had 2 years already situated! This might not be so bad after all! We decided to head to the Coliseum but as we were discussing the fare and time to travel, the red headed man walked up to the post board which we were standing at. He asked if we could help him out with a Quest to defeat caterpillars. Sis was queasy around bugs, but he said we could split the materials. He was actually really nice but dirty. I guess he didn’t clean after going mining. If I had to describe him, he didn’t care about his image. He had a better pickaxe than before and better armor, although not as good as ours. We agreed and told him our names to which he busted out laughing like he had never heard puns before. What? We liked the name Sherry, since it was our middle names. But get this, he said he was Evil Ginger! Of course he had red hair, but I doubted it was him. Sis doubted him, too. But we teamed up and defeated the caterpillars. I may have started a little mess, but it wasn’t that bad…it ended alright since Sis used her Analyze Skill to fix it. I was upset that the guy gave her a look like he was impressed. Pssh, I’m the smart one. She just has a special Skill…After we split up, Sis and I looked for a transport system to take us when we got told that animals were disturbing the roads. Looks like the trouble we had caused needed to be fixed. We logged off and decided to request ‘Evil Ginger’s’ help…But it was him ohmigosh I treated him so bad and I thought! Argh! Everyone knows Evil Ginger was probably the most helpful guy on the forums! He would speak about any issue he thought of, including his little conspiracies. All the threads he made helped many people out. Ugh, I was so nervous when we had to meet him again, partly because it was my fault for the fire, and the other was the way I treated him. But when we saw him, he acted as if there was no problem. Although he was a little impatient and pretty much decimated the animals with his new hammer, which made him look really cool. He was just swinging the hammer, but every time an animal was hit, it was instantly killed! A head shot, or he crushed the heart in one go. Not even Sis with her abilities could do the same! After clearing the animals out, we arrived at the village as the sun was beginning to touch the horizon. We discovered that a demonic boar had attacked the village so we spread up to look for clues. I asked some of the moms about monsters and demons, but the women were really upset. I couldn’t gather why. One lady even said to watch over the man who was in our party and make sure he didn’t fall to the demons. Weird. Evil already had almost all of what I heard so I felt that I didn’t do much. Sis had even logged out to find the weaknesses of boars irl. Sis is becoming annoying. It’s just a game, no need to be so proactive. We found the boar in the location of the caterpillars just as the darkness began to cover the sky. Evil said he could take it himself so we wouldn’t get hurt. He even mentioned something about it being his fault. Is that how he saw it? Because it was his Quest? But I was the one who burned the forest. He looked really cool and dashing fighting the boar like some sort of knight, but he got distracted and was knocked into a tree. I began casting my spell to get the boar’s attention and Sis pulled out her bigger gun. But just as we were about to hit it, Evil had pulled out his pickaxe and stabbed it in the heart! Afterwards, we each got a new Spell! I got Burning Trails and Sis got Fire Shot. I wish he would come with us to the Coliseum. He was pretty cool. After we went back to the village, we celebrated. Sis and I got new armor from the boar and even upgraded our staff and pistol using the tusks of the boar. We wanted to join in, but a drunken Evil said we weren’t old enough. Poo. Even though he isn’t perfect looking, he is manly. I bet he could easily get a girlfriend. Not me, but maybe some older lady. I like him more as an older brother type. There’s no way I’m going live the rest of my life with such a guy. I like pretty boys. But Sis was always looking at him, though. Maybe she likes him? He is too old as well. Probably like, twenty years older.
