~Ring~ ~Ring~ ~Ring~

An Alarm goes off in a Bedroom as a moan and a smack was heard turning off the alarm.

A few Moments later A Female Voice spoke up.

"Zavier Alexander Williams! if you don't get up!" The Female Voice said with such attitude that the person in the bed instantly jumps out of the bed.

Standing like he was in the army The woman looked at her son who was wearing nothing but his underwear.

Black colored dreaded hair that wasn't tied up but covering his whole face. With his Light brown skin tone like her own...and even showing tone muscles as if he's been working out for years.

even though she knows all he's been doing in his spare time is playing That Game of his. She looked towards the corner of the room and saw A White and Red Stripes VR Pod With Bold Black letters saying, "No Limit".

"Mom! Privacy please!!" Zavier yells out as she looked at her son with a blank face.

"Boy! Ughhhh teenagers I swear! hurry up and get dress you got 5 minutes to get yo ass downstairs or I'm swinging when I come back up." Zavier's mom says rolling her eyes and walking out of the room.

Zavier gulps with fear.

A few moments later...

Zavier walks down the stairs with his School uniform on That was a Dark blue blazer with a golden logo of a Hawk, White dress shirt underneath, Khaki pants, and All White sneakers.

Zavier Dreaded Hair was now tied up Showing a Nice lineup with shaved sides.

"You finally decided to come down Son Good, I made us a big breakfast, you should have..." Zavier's dad says while looking at his watch. His dad was an athletic looking man that wears glasses Almost a black Clark Kent with a Fresh haircut. Wearing a White & red polo shirt and khaki pants along with Black dress shoes.

"You have exactly an hour before the first bell of school rings. eat up we are taking you to school today. before we head out of town for the weekend." Zavier's dad says as he continued eating.

Zavier nodded his head and started eating his plate with pleasure.

"So, it seems like you're doing pretty good in school honey. I got a call yesterday afternoon from one of your teachers. I think his name was Mr. Jefferson?" Zavier's mom says as she drinks a little of her coffee

"Yeah, he is my Social Studies teacher." Zavier says looking curious at his mother.

"He says you are one of the brightest students he ever taught. and wanted to put you in a program for gifted students like you." Zavier's mom said with a smile on her face

"Oh!? And did he tell you what the program does?" Zavier's dad asked looking interested and excited.

"Supposedly the program is called "Gifted" where certain students from different high schools are enrolled in to travel the world and learn about everything the culture, Economy, and history of the places they visit." Zavier's mom says as both her husband and son looked at her With a shocked expression.

Zavier's dad coughs and clears his throat...

"Well, what did you tell him?" Zavier's dads ask as he finishes his plate.

Zavier's mom drinks more of her coffee and than looks towards Zavier.

"I told him we are fine with it. but it's up to Zavier if he wants to enroll, either way we will respect his choice." Zavier's mom says as she stands up from the kitchen table and grabbed all the dishes and walks to the sink as Zavier's dad nods agreeing with what his wife just said.

Zavier thought for a few moments than his father stood up and grabbed the keys off the kitchen counter.

"Well, you can think on that while we head to the school." Zavier's dad says while he opens the door, and Zavier gets up from the kitchen table and walks out first than his parents after him as their apartment door closes.

A few minutes later Zavier Arrived at his school Midtown High. it was a public school not too far from Downtown Atlanta. so, the school was bigger than most high schools with the latest technologies like most private schools.

Right before Zavier could exit the vehicle his father stopped him reaching out putting a comfort hand on his Shoulder.

"Just Remember Son, it's Your choice we will support you no matter what decision you pick. but just consider it and think on it you don't have to rush it." Zavier's dad says with a prideful smile on his face along with his mother who was beaming just as bright.

"Also remember to take that bus home this afternoon young man. and I will call you when I know you should be back at the house. so that phone better pick up!" Zavier mom says the last part with a glare as Zavier nods and laughs nervously.

"Okay! Mom and dad! love you guys!! have a safe trip!" Zavier yells out as he exits the vehicle as his parents yells out an embarrassing farewell as his mom blows kiss at him from the moving vehicle as his dad honk the horn.

Zavier walks up the steps leading to the school with his face turned red with Embarrassment as a few girls' chuckles and points at him as he lowered his head and walked faster into the building.

Entering the school Zavier was Bombarded with the loud noise of talking and gossip.

Walking passes the metal detector and walking up large stairs into a large hallway with trophies & medals in a glass case along with pictures both with color and no color. at the middle of the hall was the logo of a golden Hawk the symbol of midtown high and its mascot.

Zavier kept walking towards the cafeteria where he smells the breakfast food in the air. making his way pass the long line and heading through some double doors. Which took him outside where students can socialize and eat. aside from sitting in the noisy cafeteria.

Zavier spotted familiar figures standing beside a wall, the snack & drink machines. He made his way towards them.

"Yoyoyoyoyo! YO!" A tall over 6 foot in height at least 6"5 dark skin tone guy that could go for a basketball player with his athletic build. A nice line up Fade wearing the school uniform.

This was Quentin aka Grim Lee from "Your Fantasy" The mad scientist himself.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Next to him was Ben aka Gear from "Your Fantasy" he was about 5"11 in height. Small curly afro, light skin tone. Wearing Advance Techno glasses that showed images of different gaming videos.

Next to him was two other guys who doesn't play "Your Fantasy" but hangs with us because of our nerdy passion for video games, Comics, and anime, etc.

Razel and Jordan, Razel aka "prince" his gamertag online and his nickname was a pretty boy "Mr. steal your girl, type of guy" but a nerdy soul for anime. both Razel and Ben are twins. they look just alike if you remove a few tattoos, the glasses, and the swagger you wouldn't tell who which is.

Jordan aka "Driftking23" brown skin tone is about 5'9 in height. Has a toned body with visible muscle showing through the thick uniform. even among us who he fits in with. he's still a little antisocial. but still talk and make joke with us from time to time.

"Yo! so, you and Ben still on that Expedition? I saw you guys still on last night, but you weren't in your lab thought you guys would've been done with that by now." Zavier says while greeting the boys with a few cool looking handshakes and nods.

"Yeah well, we kind of ran into a few bumps in the road if you know what I mean." Quentin says with a wink and smile.

"Bumps, really!? more like potholes and dead ends." Ben says with an annoyed look at Quentin who was laughing nervously.

"I mean it isn't that bad...the three of us is still alive right?" Quentin says while Ben looks at him deadpan.

"Yeah, but all the guys that we hired are dead and can't even reach us for respawning so far away." Ben says with a sigh.

"Look that's not our problem nobody told them to set their respawn back at their home base. we specifically told they ass to set their respawn point at the camp. their hard heads thought it wasn't nothing down there that could kill them since they were all Max level." Quentin said the last part with an annoyed look.

"Or they tried to betray you guys and run off with the gold and resources. it doesn't add up that they didn't set their spawn back at your campsite." Zavier says while rubbing his chin in thought.

"Yeah, that's what Iniko said as well." Quentin says while Zavier eyes widen looking at Quentin with a shock expression.

"Wait! what!? you mean the same Iniko we meet back at Dutch Veil Forest??" Zavier asks with an excited look.

"Oh yeah! meant to tell you that we found him the other day in game. been traveling with him ever since." Quentin says nonchalantly as if he didn't see Zavier's excitement.

"How is he? and what he's been up to for the pass 6 months since the last time we party up??" Zavier ask looking at both Quentin and Ben with curiosity.

"Well, first off he's totally different now like a complete 360 like change. and he's gotten some interesting new skills something that I never seen magicians class players do. Also, he's been stuck ruling over an ancient kingdom full of intelligent monsters with factions and tribes. under the new [Platinum Kingdom] aka Dutch Veil Forest. for the last 6 months" Ben says as Zavier eyes widen with shock.

"Wow...that's just wow...so he's been pretty busy." Zavier says all amazed at the story as both Quentin and Ben nods.

"Very, who would have ever thought there was a whole kingdom under that forest of death" Ben says as he looks towards a familiar figure walking up towards the group.

The guy that was walking up to the group was brown skin tone, Average height & weight, with a baby face that makes aunties and old ladies want to pinch. Buzz cut style hair with advanced glasses on his face. This person was Tony aka "Ryu".

Carrying a plate full of the school's breakfast eating it and speaking to the group with a few nods and hellos.

"So, what you guys were talking about?" Tony asks the group while he eats.

"Well, they were just telling me that they found Iniko, and even started adventuring for a few days now and something about him ruling a kingdom of monsters." Zavier says looking annoyed at both Quentin and Ben.

"You mean that same Iniko we found during my class quest?" Tony looked surprised with the group nodding with conformation.

"Ok cool, that's good glad he's doing fine and all. Wait! ruling a kingdom of monsters!?!? what's going on with that?" Tony asks in confusion as both Quentin and Ben sighs as they tell the story of how they meet up with Iniko again.

"So, let me get this straight. you guys were on that Expedition into that large cavern that opened up under platinum Kingdom. that lead into a hidden ancient kingdom. where there is a whole Faction war going on between monsters to rule this kingdom. Iniko defeated all the faction leaders and made them come together under one king, and now you guys are helping him to find a replacement for he can leave??" Tony says while finishing his breakfast.

"Pretty much." Quentin says with a nod

Zavier looked amazed at the story and shook his head at that as he still couldn't believe it.

"that's awesome! but anyway, know you guys saw that system announcement last night. "Your Fantasy" First big instance Raid!" Tony says out loud with excitement.

"Yeah, but only gold rank Adventurers are allowed to take up the quest. and I doubt there is even one. might be a few silvers but a gold though...pft!" Zavier scoffs as they all looked at him like he's crazy.

"What?" Zavier asked looking back at his friends with confusion.

"Dude you never heard of [Beyond]?" Ben asks looking surprised

"Beyond? who is that?" Zavier asks with curiosity

"He's the number 1 Adventurer class player, and he's gold rank!" Ben says in excitement as Zavier look at all his friends who nodded agreeing with Ben.

"Yeah, he's also a big-time streamer almost as big as Apollo. but he leans on the more casual and PVE ((AN: PVE =Player versus Environment)) side of things and doesn't like to PVP."((AN: PVP=Player versus Player)) Ben says pushing up his glasses with confidence at knowing something that Zavier didn't.

"Wow, well that's just great. might check him out one day." Zavier says with a bit of curiosity in his voice.

"Yeah, supposedly the max number of people that can participate is 350 my guild is going to send a few of our core raid team and veterans to help clear it." Tony says with disappointment in his voice

"Why you sound so down Tony? are you not going? you are a part of paragon's core raiding team to right?" Quentin asks

"Yeah, but me and Apollo promised a few promising new members of the guild a run through the [Labyrinth]. so, we got our hands full and won't be able to participate in the raid." Tony says with a sigh.

"I mean you guys cleared that dungeon what a hundred times now. surely just Apollo could just blitz right through it and you guys could make it in time than." Zavier says trying to cheer Tony up

"Yeah, about that. we could but at the same time the new Recruits won't learn anything or get any experience like that and plus the raid-" Before Tony could finish that sentence the bell rings interrupting him.

"Well time to get this day started. see you guys at lunch." Ben says as we all parted ways and headed to our homeroom class.

A few hours later as the day went by. the bell ring for the students to go to lunch......

"Zavier! a minute of your time please." Zavier's teacher Mr. Jefferson says towards him before he left the class heading to lunch.

Mr. Jefferson was average height and weight White skin tone man. with Advance glass on his face with brown colored hair. With a 5-o clock shadow beard. wearing a White and black square pattern dress shirt, Black tie, with black dress pants and shoes.

"Yes, Mr. Jefferson?" Zavier ask looking at his social studies teacher.

"I notice you was pretty out of it today in class. is it about the thing I talked about with your mom?" Mr. Jefferson ask as Zavier nodded his head agreeing.

"Think I came to a conclusion.... but I'm not so sure yet though." Zavier says with a troubled look on his face as Mr. Jefferson look at the teen with a prideful smile.

"It's all right Zavier. this is a big decision and a life changing opportunity for a young man like yourself. I will give you in till Monday so that means you have the whole weekend to think on it." Mr. Jefferson says as Zavier nodded as the teacher dismissed him and Zavier heads to lunch.

walking into the cafeteria Zavier went and stood in line for his lunch. Being next up in getting his plate served Zavier heard a commotion. turning to see what was going on. Zavier saw the jocks of the football team enter the lunch line cutting pass the other students as they groan and complained.

One of the students stood in the way. but was quickly pushed aside by the bigger jock in front leading the group.

"Hey! there's a line for a reason asshole!" The student who was pushed says out loud towards the jocks.

"Oh yeah? the fuck you going to do about it loser?" says the jock in the lead towering over the angry student as the student anger change to fear and back further away from the jocks holding his hands up in surrender.

The jock Scoffs with a "That's what I thought" look as the other jocks snickers and laughs at the cowering student. Zavier looked at the lunch ladies seeing their reaction towards the obviously bullying as they nervously looked away and start serving the jocks lunch.

Zavier recognized one of the jocks. it was his childhood friend Maverick Wilson A freshman like himself but with his insanely early growth spur he is just as athletic and tall as the other jocks being the only freshman among the upper-class men hanging with the jocks.

Maverick eyed Zavier but didn't even say or even wave towards him as he looked away talking back to the other jocks. Maverick had tan color skin tone with bright hazel eyes black smooth hair and a face that almost any chick couldn't resist.

Zavier was leaving the lunch line He looked at a few people who was gawking and some drooling looking at a beautiful senior who even Zavier had a little crush on. She was of Asian ethnicity with black long hair that went past her shoulders. Even with the school uniform on you can tell that she was well toned with all the right curves.

This girl was name Mei Yoon aka Known as the famous streamer "Silver Viper, The ice Queen". She walked towards a group of other pretty female seniors as they were happy to see her, but Mei showed no compassion for some reason. Zavier always thought that she didn't really fit in with those type of girls, but he just shrugged and continue walking.

Arriving outside by the usual table him and his friends sat at. He nodded and greeted everyone at the table as he started to eat his lunch along with everyone else as they talked about different anime shows and video games. After finishing his lunch Zavier burps with a satisfied look.

"So, Zavier did you get a chance to look up beyond?" Ben asks with excitement as Zavier nodded

"Yeah, I actually did. everything you said was true. I couldn't believe there was someone more perfectionist than Legend and Gamebreaker. that guy doesn't play around when it comes to earning achievement's." Zavier says with the shake of his head.

"So, what you guys got planned for the weekend?" Zavier asked

"Well hopefully me and Quentin will be done with this Expedition this weekend. Kind of tired looking at Them old ancient Ruins now." Ben says with a sigh

"You guys already know what I got planned for the weekend. but Zero- I-I mean Zavier you were there when the king ordered the announcement for this Raid. can you tell us more about it?" Tony asked as everyone looked at Zavier with anticipation as he sighs and told the group what happened last night.

"Wow! if the Royal family was even nervous. this Dark Djinn guy must be pretty powerful." Quentin says as the group nods with agreement.

"I heard of Djinns before but only from another game I played" Jordan spoke up as everyone listened for him to continue

"In most fantasy stories the Djinn Race are usual powerful demigods of raw magic that can basically do anything. even grant wishes." Jordan says as they all awe at Jordan's insights on this mysterious race

"So, they are like genies?" Ben asks

"Something like that. there's no difference between the two names." Jordan says as the group was shocked by that.

"Well, I see why they was nervous. if it's an evil genie. then there is no telling what kind of power it can throw at the world once it's free." Tony says as the others agreed as the bell ring for lunch to be over.

The group dismissed and walked off to their separate classes as the day flew by and school was over in a blink of an eye.

Zavier headed to the bus stop catching the bus home finally making it home he let himself in. as his watch rings showing his mom's name and face on it.

After talking to his parents and washing up for the day. Zavier arrived in front of his VR Pod.

"Time to see what adventures awaits us now." Zavier says as he steps into the VR Pod and Logs into "Your Fantasy".
