Kira notice that it was really dark where his at, only the light from the moon is what lighting his surrounding. He checks the time and astonished because it was almost midnight.
He knows that he started training around 8 at night, but now it was 12 midnight. He just train for almost 4 hours.
When he notices that he checks his surrounding and saw that the bar don't have any lights on, he knows that his the only one awake here now so he decided to log out of the game.
When he exit the capsule he saw that Lynch was still playing. He didn't disturb his friend and walks to his bedroom. He wash himself first before he sleep. He choose to sleep than playing the game all night because he thinks that it was more comfortable sleeping on his bed that on his capsule.
=============
Kira wakes up early in the morning. He wash his face and decided to run outside. He wear a black sweat pants a black hoodie and a new sneakers that he saw on his closet.
He exit the appartment and started running outside. He feels the breeze that pass his cheecks as he run and started reminiscing of his past. He always like to be alone, specially when his mother died. He always hang on top of roof tops just to feel the breeze. He thinks that it was his mother caressing his face and assuring him that she's always there.

As he was running we was awoken from his thoughts when he smell something so fragrant. When he look, it was from a woman that just pass by him.
The woman look so young and seem to be just older than him kira thought. She has long elegant blacklong hair that's been ponytail. She has a small round face, sharp eyes and thin lips. She has a slender body proportionate for her. She looks beautiful but there is a cold aura surrounding her. Like a she's a princess that you can only look at but not talked to. But all this just add to her beauty.
Kira didn't know who she was and he didn't have the guts to talk to her. So he just mind his own thing and didn't pay attention to her anymore. He ran for a few more laps before deciding to go home.
On his way back, he stop by a convient store near his appartment to buy some bread cause he didn't want to cook when he gets home. As he was heading back he saw that beautiful girl again and she enters the TOWER. Kira was amaze by the coincidence at play, he was just thinking where she could live and now he know where.
He enters the entrance of the building and saw the woman enters the elevator. As he was walking the towards the elevator he was only looking at the number displayed on the elevator. He didn't change his sight and focus on it, even if the next elevator open for him. He only just enter the elevator when he saw the number stop at 76.
On his way to his appartment he was just thinking about the woman, he couldn't avert his mind from thinking of her, he was star struck by her beauty. He was mesmerize by her demeanor.
When he enter his appartment he heads up toward the gym to start training. When he arrive he saw Lynch training there.
"Hey, where have you been? I've been looking for you? How's your first day playing the game?" Lynch ask him when his friend saw him enters the gym.

"It's great. I was amaze by all the expirience I had. I did not think that playing this game will be this amazing, it surpassed my expectaions." Kira answered.
"Right? This game was so amazing. This isn't like the predecessor MRO, they made many changes about the concept for the game."
Kira and Lynch talk about their experience and some of their discovery about the game while training. Kira learn from Lynch that he can head to the library to make some research about the continent his in. It can also help him understand the geography of the region and many different things about the game.
As they were finishing their training Lynch spoke "Oh right, i forgot to ask. What your level at now?" Lynch asked Kira.
"Me? I'm still level zero" answered Kira nonchalantly.
"What? Why are you still level zero?" his friend ask him confusely.
"Well you know that I've been unlucky about the quests so far right. I've been close to this man that owns a bar and he teaches me how to wield a sword." Kira answer honestly.
"You should go level up, cause if you're planning to beat the other top player you have to level up fast. You know that in this game level is important. If you are so far behind you will have a hard time catching up."
Kira know that his friend was right, of he ever want to surpass the others he needed to use everything he has for his advantage. "Okay I'll keep that in mind."
After their daily training, it was 9 in the morning and Kira took a bath. He decided to enter the game after his routine.

Though his disposition is kind and gentle, Charlie is a boxer, and his world only reminds Stella of elements of her past she would like to forget.

At some point in your day, in your routine, in your life, you will matter to someone. That is a special kind of power, do be careful with it.
