They will start in Lvl 1 until they reach Lvl 99 or max. There will be a quest. "Defeat the Bugged Ones" The Quest to destroy the bug and go back on reality. Amane thinks that this quest is very easy but he's wrong. They need to defeat the Gate keepers and other monster to enter the Place. they will fight a NPC (A Little Girl (Mage) and A Guy (Assassin and Warrior)]
Entering the game: They would be asked what their class(Paladin, Hunter, Assassin, Mage, Blademaster) and race would be(Angel, demon, human, elf) and gender(male, female)). Your appearance on the game would be depending on your physical attributes in reality. The main characters would be nine people. The story would go on about how they would be meeting(except for the Virtual Building). They would later on be only one party striving hard to live inspite of the bug. PS: they'd go on a quest together and one would die and wouldn't respawn
They'll have this "spirit guardian" who'll watch over them in the game. The color of the spirit(whisp-like creature) is the same as the color of the wristbands they have.(Shizukana: black, Amane: red, etc.) This "spirit guardian" is the one who'll orient them at the start of the game. Spirit guardians have different forms/appearances. (Shizukana's spirit guardian is like a princely warrior named "Laxel", Hyoukyou's a little, strong demon named " Xaxotheole-fanalath", and Akira's a beastchild who claims itself as the "child of the wind" but have no name). After quite some time of playing the game, they'd notice that they're the only ones who have spirit guardians. They'd also find out that players'll only have those spirit guardians one they defeated a certain high-leveled monster— which they haven't encountered yet.
