As the game was about to start, all ten of them stood together in a large glowing circle. The arena buzzed with excitement as students grouped up, waiting for the Enchanted Quest to begin.

A voice echoed through the arena, loud and clear. "Welcome, players! The Enchanted Quest is about to begin. Get ready to enter the mystical world!"

Before anyone could say anything, a bright light surrounded them, and within seconds, they found themselves in a completely different place.

The sky was purple, glowing with floating lanterns. Trees had golden leaves, and the ground was soft like a cushion. Small glowing creatures flew around, making soft jingling sounds.

"Whoa... this place is amazing," Taehyung whispered, turning in circles to take everything in.

"It looks so real," Jin added, reaching out to touch one of the glowing leaves.

Yn smiled. "That's the magic of this game. It feels real, but it's all just an illusion. Now, let's focus. Our first task will appear any second now."

Just as she said that, a scroll appeared in front of them, floating mid-air. The words glowed as they read:

Quest One: The Lost Crystal
A powerful crystal has been stolen from the Mystic Tower. Find the hidden clues, solve the puzzle, and return the crystal before time runs out.

"Sounds simple," Jimin said. "We just need to find the clues, right?"

"Not that simple," Sana chuckled. "There will be challenges in the way. Some might be puzzles, but some might be... enemies."

Jungkook smirked. "Enemies? Now it's getting interesting."

"Come on, let's move before other teams get ahead," Sana said, leading the way.

They walked through the glowing forest, searching for clues. The air was filled with a soft humming sound, almost like the trees were singing.

Suddenly, a small fairy appeared in front of them. She had silver wings and sparkling blue eyes.

"Brave travelers," she spoke in a tiny voice. "If you wish to find the crystal, you must first solve my riddle."

She waved her hand, and golden letters appeared in the air:

"I shine in the dark but disappear in the light. I am not fire, but I glow at night. What am I?"

The group stared at the riddle, thinking hard.

"A star?" Jungkook guessed.

"No, stars don't disappear in the light," Tzuyu replied.

"A firefly?" Hobi tried.

"Nope," Tzuyu shook her head. "Think carefully."

Yoongi suddenly smiled. "It's a shadow."

The fairy clapped her hands. "Correct! You may pass."

The golden letters vanished, and a small pathway opened ahead of them.

"Nice one, Yoongi!" Yn cheered as they hurried forward.

But just as they reached the next area, the ground shook. Dark smoke appeared, forming into shadowy figures with glowing red eyes.

Jisoo's words echoed in their heads. "You need to be ready for whatever challenges you might face in the future."

"Looks like we're about to fight," Namjoon said, standing ready.

"Good thing we're here to learn," Jin added, raising his hands as his magic flickered to life.

"Let's do this!" Sana grinned, stepping forward.

And with that, the real battle began.

The shadowy figures moved closer, their red eyes glowing menacingly. The air around them grew colder, and an eerie whisper filled the space.

"Stay together," Namjoon instructed, his voice calm but firm. "We don't know how strong they are."

The first shadow lunged at Taehyung, but he quickly dodged to the side. "Okay, now I know this isn't just a game," he muttered, gripping his wand.

"They're illusions," Sana reminded them. "But they can still hurt us if we're not careful!"

Yn took a step forward, raising her hand. "Let's test their weakness." She summoned a small ball of light and threw it toward one of the shadows. The creature screeched and backed away, its form flickering.

"It worked!" Jimin cheered. "They hate light!"

Jungkook grinned. "Then let's give them a lot of it."

He waved his hands, and a bright golden light shot forward, pushing the shadows back. Hobi and Jin joined him, their magic glowing like tiny suns in their palms.

The creatures hissed and tried to attack, but Jimin and Taehyung blocked them, using their own magic to create barriers.

"They're losing power!" Tzuyu pointed.

Yn saw one last shadow creeping toward Jungkook from behind. Without thinking, she raised her hands and sent a wave of energy at it. The creature let out one last shriek before disappearing into thin air.

Silence fell over the group. The battle was over.

Jungkook turned to Yn, eyes wide. "That was some fast thinking."

Yn smiled. "Well, we make a good team."

Just then, a glowing key appeared in the air.

"Congratulations, travelers! You have completed the first challenge. The next clue awaits."

The key floated toward Jimin, who caught it. The moment his fingers touched it, a golden path appears ahead of them.

Sana clapped her hands. "Alright! One challenge down, who knows how many more to go?"

Namjoon laughed. "Let's just hope they don't get harder."

"Oh, they will," Sana smirked.

As the group stepped onto the golden path, the world around them began to shift. The arena they stood in faded, replaced by a dense, glowing forest. Trees stretched high into the sky, their leaves shimmering in shades of blue and purple. Tiny floating lights danced in the air, guiding their way.

"Whoa..." Jungkook breathed out, turning in circles as he took everything in. "This is unreal."

Yn smiled. "That's the magic of Enchanted Quest. It makes everything feel real."

Jimin held up the glowing key they had found earlier. "So, what do we do next?"

Before anyone could answer, a soft chime rang through the air, and a floating scroll appeared in front of them. It slowly unraveled, revealing their next challenge:

"To move ahead, find the hidden sigil. But beware—illusions lie ahead. Trust your instincts."

"Sigil?" Jin frowned. "What's that?"

"It's like a magical symbol," Yn explained. "It can be carved into something, hidden in a pattern, or even invisible until revealed by the right magic. Sigils hold power."

"So we need to find this symbol to move forward?" Namjoon asked.

Yn nodded. "Exactly. But illusions will try to confuse us, so we can't trust everything we see."

"Great," Yoongi sighed. "A game that messes with our heads."

"It'll be fun!" Sana grinned. "We just have to be smart about it."

"Alright," Yoongi said, looking around. "Let's split up into pairs so we can search faster. But don't go too far from each other."

They quickly paired up:

Yn and Jungkook

Jimin and Yoongi

Taehyung and Jin

Namjoon and Hoseok

Sana and Tzuyu

As they moved deeper into the glowing forest, an eerie feeling settled over them. The air felt heavier, and strange whispers echoed between the trees.

Yn and Jungkook walked side by side, scanning their surroundings carefully.

"Do you think the sigil is carved somewhere?" Jungkook asked, brushing his fingers against a tree trunk.

"Maybe. Or it could be hidden with magic," Yn said, her eyes darting around. Suddenly, she stopped. "Wait... did you hear that?"

Jungkook frowned. "Hear what?"

A shadow flickered between the trees. It moved too fast to be a normal creature.

Yn grabbed Jungkook's arm. "I think we're being watched."

Before he could respond, a figure stepped out from behind a tree.

Yn's heart pounded. "It's an illusion."

The fake Jungkook tilted its head and smirked. "Are you sure about that?"

The challenge had truly begun.
