Little Authors note from Lea~Chan:
Hi guys, first chapter is finished. I tried to keep it close to the original (except the name of the female main character).
Have fun reading about what I wrote in my summer vacation with another roleplayer (when I should have continue my main story...)

***************************************************

(Mai's pov)

Today was a beautiful day on floor 17.... Ok, maybe it was, because it would never rain on this stage.

Maybe I should introduce myself first:
My name in real life is Mai Sakai, and I am 16 years old....
However, no one knows me here by this name. My Nickname here is "WonderBunny", and some players still know me as the "Raretem girl" from the beta, because of the rare items I find, collect and own.
I am a single player, traveling alone in this world, but that's only because I am pretty shy around strangers.

Hiding my face behind the hood of a brown cloak, I walked along a path, thinking about the rumors I have heard in the last city.

(flashback)(brought to you by Ayano Aishi)

I was sitting in a tavern, drinking a sweet drink, which had a familiar taste, almost like cola. Having my hood still up, I stood quiet, and listened to some random conversation, which were close to the table I was next to.

"...are you serious about it? There is a secret dungeon on this floor?", a male player asked another one in disbelieve, and I started to listen closer, interested about the topic.

Secret dungeons mostly have rare drops and chests.

I began to smile a little, as I heard more details, which seemed important, and then paid the owner of the tavern, before getting ready for heading to the dungeon.

"Finally..." I whispered to myself, seeing the begin of the forest in front of me. Knowing I would need it, I activated my detection skill, which allowed me to track down close players, mobs, and chests.

After some time of walking around, I noticed an angry player. I deactivated my tracking skill, and activated my hiding skill (I hate using two skills at one time), so the person wouldn't notice me.

I sneaked to a tree, hiding behind it, so I could look closer at the for me unknown player. It was a guy, and he was obviously bigger then me. He had long, dark hair, and I wasn't able to see his main weapon.

He must be strong, because he has pretty  good armor.  |  |-･;)

"Where is that stupid dungeon everyone talks about?!", he asked himself, mad, punching a tree. I continued looking at him, until the guy stopped, and then he shouted: "Who is there?! Show yourself, or some blood will pour.". He held his fists in a fighting position, and they were glowing slightly, like my katana would, when I get ready for a fight.

Surprised that he knew I was there, I tried to step back, to get a bit away from the player, but a stupid root had to be there, and I tripped over it.
Not knowing that my hiding skill had deactivated itself, I whispered, scared: "I am h-here... please don't hurt me".

As the boy saw me, he seemed to have  calm down a little, and started to walk to me, holding his hand to me, to help me up.
"Sorry for scaring you, I was just mad, and I didn't want to deal with PKs or mobs.", he told me with a calm smile. He helped me up, and I checked, if my hood was still covering my face.
"I have overheard, t-that you are searching for a certain secret d-dungeon... I could m-maybe help you w-with my skills...", I whispered, and facepalmed in my mind.

He probably thinks I am a noob on level 13 or something. Good job Mai.<(_ _)>

"Sounds like a plan.", he then said, and opened his menu. I then saw his game tag on a party invite from him to me.

TK?... Probably a short form for something. (•_•)?

Suddenly, a guy with a black cloak jumped out of the bushes, surprising me and TK. I quickly accepted the invitation, and then hid behind the boy, which still seems pretty tall.

"...you both want to get to the dungeon, didn't you?", he asked us, and I nodded, looking closer at the guy.

He isn't a NPC... Why did he have to scare me like that?! ('･_･')

He started to walk to a random direction, and we both followed him. It was quiet for a while, until TK asked me: "Why did you choose the nickname WonderBunny?".

I blushed a little, because I didn't expect him to ask me that kind of question.
"...In the real world, m-my friends and I compared each other with animals, and t-they saw me as a bunny f-for some reason. They even c-called me Bunny-chan."

"Bunny-Chan? That's a cute nickname. Seems like it fits you.", he then remarked, and I blushed a little. In that moment I was really glad, that the hood covered parts of my face, so none of the other guys would see my red cheeks.

"Here we are.", the guy told us, and stood in a clearing. There was a big wall, and TK and I looked around for the dungeon entrance. The other male player walked towards the wall, and he held his hand toward an odd looking stone. It lightened up a bit, and an entrance opened right next to him.

"We have some time, until the dungeon closes itself again", he mentioned, and probably opened his menu. I did the same, and then looked through my inventory. I made sure, that TK didn't look at me, because I have heard about a new update, where couples and party members can see each others menus and inventories.

//Yes, the guys, which locked us into this game, still update this game, so it gets easier / more difficult for us. That probably depends on how may people die, before they release the update. Sometimes there are some fun ones, too, like certain training rooms and table games.//

Looking through all the items I had, I noticed, that I should be soon looking for better armor, and for more teleport crystals, since I only have two left.

"Bunny?", TK asked behind me , and in the next second I closed my inventory quickly. "Y-yes?", I asked, and turned around to him. He held some light armor, and then said: "I'd like to give you this. It seemed like you don't have good armor, and since we don't know a lot about what's in there, we should all be protected."

He really wants to give me this? Wow...that would be too much... Maybe I should send him a trade Request ｢(ﾟﾍﾟ)?

I opened my inventory again, and quickly searched for a certain item. It was an amulet, which once belonged to my brother...

I didn't want to think long about it, and send my partner the trading request.

"I-it starts healing you, when you get t-to the orange section, and gets faster, w-when in red.", I just explained, as he accepted it, after he thought about it.

"Do you want to get inside now.", the other player asked us, and I quickly put onto the armor on, and took out my katana. TK went into the dungeon first, like a child, trying to play tag with a butterfly. I looked at the three health bars to the left, and saw our game tags next to them.

So the other player called himself Jay?  ｢(ﾟﾍﾟ)

"Hey girl, are you coming?", the man asked me, and I nodded, turning around to him. He removed his cloak, and now I saw, that he was probably older then TK, who was older then me, and he had short, black hair, and green eyes.

"Y-yes, I am c-comming.", I said, and ran after him into the dungeon...
