In a desolate field, a young man stood on his lonesome, in his hand he wielded a longsword, he wore bright red armor with a golden trim, his hair was shoulder length and it was a bright blonde, his eyes opened to reveal a set of bright blue eyes as blue as the sky. He had a smile on his face, suddenly the sound of thundering footsteps could be heard, mere yards from him was a huge horde of monsters, all different shapes and sizes armed to the teeth. The horde was coming right for him, "So, who'll be my first victim?" with that the lone warrior rushed at the horde of monsters, the sound of battle echoed in the desolate area, the roars of slain monsters could be heard in droves ad the lone warrior proceeded to cut them all down. Soon after many minuets had passed, the lone warrior stood alone amidst the dozens upon dozens of bodies of monsters.
His sword was covered with the blood of monsters, as was his armor, on his face there was a few specks as well the lone warrior look upon his handiwork and smiled, "Seems like you were no challenge at all" the warrior sheathed his sword and started walking through the dozens of chopped up monsters. The warrior arrived in town, all eyes were on him, "Hey that's him" he heard whispered as he walked down the town street "The Crimson Warrior" he heard his nickname whispered, at that he smiled and chuckled to himself as he continued on his way. He finally came to his destination, the Adventures Guild hall, he walked inside and was greeted by silence, whenever he walked into a room this was what happened, all eyes in the guild hall were on him, more likely then that his blood reddened armor.
He chuckled and walked over to the front desk, he was greeted by a young elf girl with long blonde hair and emerald green eyes, her long pointy ears twitched a bit be she spoke, "Yes, what can I do for you?" she spoke in a soft tone, the warrior smiled "I've come to turn in a quest" he held out a poster with writing on it, the elf girl took the poster and inspected it, as she read she nodded "I see" she took out a stamp from a drawer and placed it on top the counter, "Your name?" the warrior smirked "Gawain, The Crimson Knight" the elf girl nodded. "Gawain The Crimson Knight" she repeated his name "I hereby announce that you have cleared 'The Monster Army Quest'" a few shocked gasps could be heard mixed with chatter between others "He cleared that quest!?" gasped a shocked adventurer. "Man, no ones been able to clear that quest, not even a party of four could" said another "Yeah, but he cleared it, and from the looks of it, by himself" came another.
Another adventurer clicked his tounge, "How good is this guy?" Gawain just stood at the front desk hearing each and every word was being said, he smirked that's when the elf girl took the stamp in hand and stamped down on the poster Gawain had handed her. After she lifted it off a huge 'Cleared' was marked across it, she put the stamp away and took the stamped poster in hand, "Now, take this over to the cashier to receive your reward, thank you" Gawain nodded. He took the poster back and walked over to the cashier desk.

It was the middle of the night, in a small city, in a small single bedroom apartment, a light from a computer screen could be seen, the figure of a person could be seen, the clicking of a mouse could be heard, as well as some chuckling. The figure illuminated by the light of the computer screen is revealed to be a young teenage girl with a pair of headphones on her head, she had unkempt long black hair, her brown eyes were glued to the computer screen, she was wearing a white tank top with the straps falling off her shoulders. She had no pants on and her pure white panties could be seen, she shifted her legs to get comfortable, she smiled as her eyes looked over her computer screen "Wow, that reward was bigger then I thought" a few clicks on the mouse could be heard, "Lets see what I got.." the girl clicked the mouse and her eyes went back and forth reading something.
She giggled to herself, "Wow, this is some really good stuff" a good look around the girls room revealed tons and tons of posters of games tacked on her wall, but one in particular was tacked right above where her computer was, it showed a picture of a knight, a mage, a assassin, a rouge, and many other RPG based characters. The title of the game, 'The Elder Tales' was written across the poster in big bold golden letters, the girl looked up at the poster and smiled and looked back down at her computer screen. The very game the poster above advertised was the one she was playing, "There that should do it" she smiled happily, she had just finished configuring her character with the stuff she had just received from a quest she had just finished. She looked over her character and chuckled happily, "Now, Gawain The Crimson Knight, will be unstoppable" on the girls screen showed the image of a young man with shoulder length blonde hair, and bright blue eyes, wearing red armor with a cold trim, wielding a longsword.
"Alright, lets tackle another quest shall we" the girl chuckled she stretched, he tank top rode up and showed her flat stomach, which growled, the girl giggled "Right after I get something to eat" she took off her headphones and placed them on her desk and she walked out her room. She was hit by bright lights which blinded her, "Oh, nii-san must be home" the girl walked down the hallway her arm shielding her eyes from the bright light, she walked into the living room and saw a briefcase on the coffee table. By the door was a pair of men's black dress shoes, on the sofa was a dark grey suit coat and tie, the girl heard a sound in the kitchen and smiled, she walked right into the kitchen where a man with short spikey black hair was busy making what looked like to be a plate off food. He was tall and lean, but through his white collared shirt some muscle could be seen, the girl giggled as she tiptoed towards the man, "Welcome home.." she started the man jolted upon hearing her and began to turn around, but before he could fully face the girl he was grabbed in a tight hug, he could feel the girls breasts press into his back "Kazu-niisan!" the girl giggled.

The man went rigged and turned his head, his brown eyes focusing onto the girl "Airi, how many times have I told you not to do that?" the girl giggled "I can't help myself!" the man sighed, his name was Kazu Yoshimi, and the girl hugging him really tightly was him little sister Airi Yoshimi, "Airi, can you let me go, I want to eat if you don't mind" a disappointed groan came from Airi, "Alright" Kazu felt the pressure on his back vanish as Airi left him go. With that he fully turned around but, when he saw how Airi was dressed his face went red, "Airi! How many times have I told you about dressing like that!" Airi gave a confused look,"What's wrong with what I have on?" Kazu blushed he could see bits of his younger sister that he shouldn't be seeing. "Well, for one thing it's indecent" Airi gave a pouting face, "But, I like dressing like this" Kazu grumbled "That's not the point here" he mumbled Airi tilted her head, "What was that?" Kazu gasped and went into a fluster "No..nothing" he took a deep breath to settle himself down, "Anyway, I want you to start dressing decently from now on" Airi pouted.
Kazu gave a serious look, Airi stopped pouting, "Alright, I'll try" she said with a sad look in her eyes Kazu felt bad, he put his hand on Airi head and rubbed back and forth "Thanks Airi, that makes nii-san happy" the sad look in Airi's eyes turned to happiness and she smiled and giggled at that moment both siblings stomach growled, they looked at each other and laughed "Guess your hungry too?" Airi nodded "Well, shall we eat together?" a huge bright smile showed on Airi's face. She nodded vigorously, in mere seconds both sibling were sitting at the kitchen table, both scarfing down food, in between a few bites Kazu resumed talking with Airi, "So, let me guess, you were up gaming weren't you?" Airi nodded as she swallowed a spoonful of food, Kazu sighed "Have you been playing ever since I left this morning?" Airi nodded as she readied another spoonful of food, Kazu groaned "Didn't I tell you to cut back on the gaming?" Airi swallowed her food and gave a sad look and nodded.
Kazu saw the sad look in Airi's eyes, he sighed, he was always weak to her sad eyes, "Look, I'm just looking out for your health okay?" Airi gave a nod, she understood where her brother was coming from, "Okay, I'll try to cut down my time playing" Kazu smiled "That's a good girl" he went back to eating. After the two finished eating, and the dishes were washed, the two sibling sat on the sofa in the living room "So, what did Gawain The Crimson Knight do today?" a smile came to Airi's face, "Today he slew a whole army of monsters by himself!" Airi started to wave her arms like she was swinging a sword "Wow, that's really amazing, taking out a whole army by himself" Airi nodded and giggled. A few minuets went by as Airi gave a detailed summary of how Gawain slew the whole army of monsters, giving him the whole play by play, "That's really amazing, Gawain's really strong isn't he?" Airi giggled at her brother compliment with that he yawned, "Well, as much as I'd like to hear more" he yawned once more. "I kind of, want to get some sleep" Airi had a dejected look on her face, Kazu chuckled "Don't worry, I listen to the rest tomorrow morning" Airi smiled and nodded Kazu smiled back a rose off the sofa.
"Goodnight Kazu-niisan" Kazu smiled "G'night Airi" and he started walking off but he suddenly stopped "Airi?" he called, Airi looked at her older brother "What?" Kazu scratched his face a bit nervous, "What is it nii-san?" Kazu took in a breath, "Do, you think.." he paused "Do, you think it's time you go back to school?" Airi's eyes went wide, she looked down at the ground and shook her head. Kazu sighed, "I see" he looked at Airi sitting on the sofa, looking down at the hardwood floor in a dejected manner, "She must still be troubled about what happened" he mumbled to himself, "Sorry, g'night, make sure you get to bed" Airi gave a nod, he then walked off to his room. Airi sat on the sofa for a while longer, "How could Kazu-nii ask me about going back.." Airi hugged herself and started to tremble remembering what had happened at school, she started to pant hard, this always happened when she remembered it and there was only one thing she could do, with that she got up from the sofa and quickly headed to her room.
She closed the door behind her, she took shallow breaths and her body was shaking like a leaf, she eyed her computer screen and the 'The Elder Tales' poster right above it, she smiled a bit, she walked over to her computer desk and sat down, she put her headphones back on top her head, her hand rested on top the mouse, slowly Airi started to stop shaking, and her breathing seemed to go back to normal. This game, was the only thing that calmed her down when she got like this, she took one deep breathe and re-immersed herself into the game, yet at that moment, Airi had no idea that she was going to become more in twined with 'The Elder Tales' then she already was.[Ch.1 END]
