Welcome Back Crimson!
——————
Logging in to see the beautiful world of Astariel is always my favorite part about the game. People don't always take the time to appreciate how much work they put into this game.
On my screen a character wearing full knight armor is standing tall with a giant sword in his hands.
Click. Click.
[Equipment]
• Haru's Heavy Armor set [Legendary]
• Lilly's Great sword [Legendary]

Honestly I forgot I had any legendary things equipped but that does come with grinding the game. This game has only been out for about a week now... I really have been busy.
My sleep schedule is definitely not good in the slightest. I've probably only slept about 10 hours total over the last few days... energy drinks keep me going.
It is probably best for me to select where I want to load into today. Keeping myself high on the leaderboards is the goal I've had since the game came out.
Most players know of me by now because of PVP. I'm not the kindest player by any means but it doesn't really matter when you complete everything else.
[Area Selection]
• Outskirts of Mito
• The Moonlight Forest
Click. Click.
Outskirts of Mito Selected! Loading....
The screen shifts to a nice beautiful grassy plain area with a decent amount of land to cover. A forest is in the distance but that is also the direction of the Mito Kingdom itself.
Hours begin to pass by as I continue to grind like usual. Killing players, doing dungeon raids, and eventually focusing on my level ups.
[Crimson] [Level 199]
One level off from finally hitting 200... I have to play a bit more.
The room starts to go dark around me as I try to focus on the screen. Before I know it... My head hits the desk and everything disappears around me.
I hope everything saves since I won't have the opportunity to do it myself. This timing couldn't be any worse.... Damn, I really didn't expect it to hit now.
Not like anyone can kill me in the village I'm in anyway.
Chirp. Chirp.
I jolt up as I hear the sound of a bird chirping around me, something I didn't often hear outside my window. As my eyes open I begin to notice that everything around me is completely different.
I'm sitting on a grassy hill with a bright blue sky above me, the sun is shining down on me as well.
I take a second to wipe my eyes but nothing seems to go away.
"This is definitely quite the dream," I say while looking around.
"Dream? Mister are you okay?" A man asks from behind me.
Immediately I turn my head to see a man riding a horse with some weird clothing on, almost like something you'd see in a fantasy world.
Makes sense that I'd be dreaming about a world like this since I was playing a game that takes place in a similar setting. That is the most logical conclusion here.
I don't really see any other excuse for why I'd be seeing any of this.
People have dreams like that all the time, I'm sure of it! That's exactly what is going on right now. I'll probably wake up in a couple of hours and this will be something I remember while I play.
"I'm fine, but where am I?" I question with some curiosity.
"You are on the outskirts of the Mito Kingdom. It is quite shocking to see someone out here right now." He responds with a look of shock on his face.
"Hahahaha," I can't help but laugh as I slowly stand up.
I really am dreaming about the game now, this is perfect.
"You really are strange kid. The clothes should've said it but I still talked with you," He says with disappointment in his voice.
I look down at my clothes and realize I'm wearing the exact outfit from before I fell asleep. A pair of black sweatpants, a hoodie, and some roughed up sneakers.
"Sorry... Why is it shocking?" I ask with concern in my voice now.
"Heroes are being summoned to help the king," He answers.
Maybe it won't be so bad after all. I've read a lot of manga about these exact situations so this could be perfect!!!
I probably have some sort of awesome power that I'll get to use to save the kingdom. Probably related to a demon lord or something as well, that's the usual with these things.
"That explains why I'm here!" I shout with enthusiasm.
"You should hurry along then. Other summoned heroes are probably there waiting," he replies with a serious tone.
If this is real... It'll be the perfect opportunity to experience an amazing world full of magic, awesome fights, and even a heroes story! Something that I have always dreamt of having at some point or another.
This will also be in my favor if it is a lot like the game since I know a lot of different things that could help me.
So with that I begin to follow the man back to the kingdom of Mito, taking in the beautiful sights around me. Everything feels so real.
The air I breathe, the steps I take, the wind passing me by, it is all amazing.
After what feels like an hour of walking we finally arrive at the gates of the kingdom. It is huge... The gates alone are massive with guards at the entrance.
Many different races of people seem to be walking on the other side of the gates as well.
How much cooler can this place get?!?! I didn't expect to see any of this, especially not in a dream of all places. I mean... It will be awesome if this is real.
"I've never seen you before, what can I do for you?" A guard asks with one hand on the hilt of his sword.
"I believe I have been summoned," I answer nervously.
