CHAPTER ONE
James and Jessie. Brother and sister. Identical twins, but opposite personalities. James, the boy, prefers the colour green, while his sister prefers the colour red. Jessie, the girl, likes fantasy books and movies whereas her brother prefers books and movies from the science fiction genre. James the builder, the pacifist, Jessie the leader, the fighter. But for once they found something they could both enjoy. A new VRMMORPG had been released. It was a fully open universe with equal levels of magic and technology. They were on the way to the store when disaster struck. While crossing at a crosswalk, a car came speeding through the red light killing them. They were hit so hard, that when the first responders arrived their bodies were so mangled together they seemed like one person.
They were in a blank white space “Hmm. This is a first… You reincarnated as one soul, but are two separate souls. What to do with you then… I can't really make you into two separate beings again, it's too late to interfere with that part. But, I could… Yes, that would work. How would you two feel if I could prevent your souls from permanently becoming a single one?” asked a feminine voice. “I personally would like to be my own person” replied Jessie. Her brother nodded in agreement. And suddenly the space disappeared-
CHAPTER TWO
-And a small grey room appeared. The walls look to be made of stone, and in the center of the room is a green gem marbled with a red gem. In front of Jessie and James' eyes are Stat screens, and a pop-up. Like from an RPG.

“Hey, Jess. You seeing a status screen?” James calls out. “Yeah, what's up with that?” Jessie replies. “I don't know,” James says. James tries to shrug but finds he can't. “I can't move!” he cries out. “Me neither,” says Jessie nonchalantly. Jessie could see where this was going, she had read stories that seemed similar to this situation before. “It seems as if we are dungeon cores. Or a dungeon core. Means we got no body. It also means we should have some form of companion, who gives us a tutorial. Where is it tho…” she ends with a murmur, mentally searching the room. “You don't get a companion” the voice from earlier says, “You are relying on Jessie's knowledge of this subject. However, I may choose to help every so often.” “Not cool magic lady, not cool,” Jessie says, trying to recall what they should do first, “Hey magic lady! Can you give us some quests at the very least?” The voice sighs, “I guess” and a pop-up appears for both of the siblings.
