Advertisement
He checks the forum to see why the servers are closing. He opens the TRINITY website to open the game forum. He saw many post about the shut down of server and many complains.
TRINITY release a post that says that they don't have a the power to control the game, it's closing of servers were related and manage by the gaming AI MINERVA. And according to her the closing of the server this time was because of the progress the story of the game advance to a new phase, the system would commence an update. The update will need 36 hours to complete.
MINERVA said that there are certain quest that if completed will progress the story of the game to a new phase. And this quest would depend on the choices made by the player. This quest are unique that once failed, it cannot be taken again and will have an affect in game.
After knowing the reason behind the announcement he started checking other post and articles related to the game. There were so many post about the game, some are guides for the newbies, other are just nonsense. He also saw someone buying gold from other and some were buying and selling items and weapons.
He also saw a thread regarding "SunGod". He started reading it to know more about this player. It has some ads recruiting players to join the guild "Gods of War". Some were speculating about the class he change into. There was no concrete information he can find about "SunGod", just many players talking about him. "It's a given, for he is the first to be achieve world announcement" Kira thought to him self.
He browse through the forum and reads what he think is relevant or interesting. In this first week of the game, many things happened. He also notice that among the top guilds, "Gods of War" receive many recruits, so now the all the guilds are racing to achieve the next world announcement to promote their respective guilds.

After he was done browsing, he decided to rest.
====================
Early in the morning, Kira was doing his run. He was wearing a black jogging pants, a red hoodie and his thick glasses. He also didn't forget to bring his wallet for when he go to the grocery after his run.
As he was running, he was looking everywhere as if trying to find something or someone. He was looking for the beautiful lady he saw when he first run. He knows that she doesn't run everyday, all this time he just saw her twice. So now he was looking around hoping to see her today. He know that he couldn't talk to her but just looking at her was enough for Kira.
When he was done with he morning run, he was disappointed cause he didn't get to see her. Feeling down, he started walking towards the super market to buy their food for the next week.
He arrive at his apartment with bags and bags of groceries. "It's a good thing that I've started working out, if not i don't think I can carry all of this." Kira thought to himself. He place all the groceries on the fridge and head to the gym for his training.
He arrives to see Lynch inside and it seems that he will just start training. They both started training their body. They make different stance and maintain it, it was to for flexibility of muscles.
After practicing different stances, they decided to spar. This will help them train their reflexes. At first Lynch was using different forms and having the upper hand. But as time went on kira started getting used to it, the punch and kicks started slowing in front of him. This is the work of his super human reflexes. Now that he trained his body, his eyes can sync with his body properly and reveal the potential of his reflexes.
The longer they spar, Lynch was starting to be pushed back, his punches and kicks didn't connect like moments ago. He became startled because Kira just started training his body for like a month but he can achieve this already. He became excited to see the limit his friend can so he started getting serious.

After their training Kira were sprawled in the floor, panting and sweating.
"Fuck you, why do you have to get serious? It hurts you know." Kira shouted to his friend.
"Haha, you have yourself to blame. If you didn't improve this quickly I would have go easy on you." Lynch just laugh. But inside he was excited, he didn't expect his friend to improve this quickly, if he train more, maybe he can beat him.
"By the way, since you don't have plan for today, come with me, were going somewhere to play." Lynch said amusingly.
"Where would we go?" Kira answered.
"Remember last night i receive a call? It was from my mother, she called to me say that i should i visit home. She also said that I should bring you too." Lynch said.
"Why? What's the occasion? And beside, why would your mother invite me?" Kira asked.
"Come on, don't brood yourself here in this apartment. You have to come out every now and then. ." Lynch said as to convince his friend.
"Yes, I know that, but why would your mother invite me? I think I better not go." Kira said to his friend resolutely.
"It's just this one, you know. Come on,go home with me, my mother even invited you. You do know it's rude to reject my mother, remember the last time we didn't do what she asked us?" Lynch said as he shiver remembering that memory he locked up.
======================
12 years ago, when kira was only five.
Lynch always invited him to his house, they always play there. It was a big mansion that almost look like a castle. There are many rooms inside the house, and outside there was a big garden that can be used when there was a gathering, they also have a olympic size swimming pool.
They were running inside the house and playing with each other, when Lynch's mother told them to play outside. But they didn't listen and just continue to run around until Lynch broke something while he was running.
They heard a scream from inside the house, it was too scary for them, then they saw the furious look of Lynch's mother, she was coming at them like she's going to eat them. It was like a nightmare for both of them. Kira couldn't even sleep that day.
Since then whenever he saw Lynch's mother he was scared witless, and whenever she tells them something they always do it immediately and without question.
========================
Kira shiver when that memory resurfaced on his mind. "F*ck you, don't bring your mother in this. For all I know, your mother didn't even invite me there." Kira shouted to his friend shitless.
"It's true, but even if it's not, would you gamble your life in this?" Lynch laugh at his friend.
"F*ck, your a real friend you know." he said sarcastically. "Fine, I'll go but don't expect me to interact much often if there are other people there." he also added.
"Okay okay, no problem. We'll have a good time there, but first we need to make you presentable." Lynch said as he look his friend up and down.
Looking at his friends expression he felt like not going anymore with this upcoming party but thinking of his friends mother he steeled himself to go. "I don't need to be overly presentable there, right." he said.
"You'll need it, I don't know if my mother invited someone else or it's just us." Lynch said as he smiled.
I just hope that there wouldn't be something wrong with this invitation, he thought to himself.

Saga of the Jewels VOLUME ONE COMPLETE
Prefer to listen to rather than read Saga of the Jewels? I'm also releasing it as a free audibook serial podcast on iTunes here! Epic YA JRPG-influenced GameLit progression ensemble-cast steampunk romance fantasy! When Ryn’s hometown is destroyed, will he be able to gather together the twelve Primeval Jewels in order to defeat the evil Emperor and save the world of Mid? A fan novelization of an amazing Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist, that currently releases at least one chapter a month. Epic in that this will be very long. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint!” (-Kandaj) YA in that this should be enjoyable to~13-year-olds and upwards. Some gore, some swearing, some sex, but nothing more than PG-13. JRPG-influenced / GameLit in that it uses lots of JRPG tropes, particularly from Final Fantasy. I’ve read a lot of fan Final Fantasy novelisations and you can basically think of this as a fan novelisation of its own Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist as a game... Progression in that the characters level up over time (though not with visible litrpg stat boxes). They grow in ability through training and experience, gain new skills, individually and as a party (think Chrono Trigger) and spend time discussing and stratgeising about how to defeat their opponents. Main protagonist from book three would definitely be able to defeat himself from book one! Ensemble-cast because we've got quite the roster of misfits here. The first volume is all from the main protagonist's POV, but it starts dancing between his and different POVs thereafter. Steampunk in that we’ve also got airships, steam trains, pistols and ambiguous ‘amber bars’ that function a bit like artificial lights… Romance in that there is lots of shipping here, a few love triangles, and you may be kept guessing as to who will actually end up together... Fantasy in that we’re in a vaguely pre-modern setting. We’ve got swords, magic, dragons, dungeons, monsters, all that good stuff. * "This story captures that Final Fantasy quality perfectly. Kiddy but also grim. The characters are great... Severely underrated and needs more favorites/follows. I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold." -Gilgamesh9999 "Starting at the end and jumping backwards is not a writing style seen every day. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but you've executed a fairly crazy idea very skillfully so far. Overall, a strong start to what could be a very strong story." -RandomFF.netUser "You definitely have my interest piqued. It'll be interesting to see where the story goes... It definitely has an 'old school Final Fantasy' type feel to it, which I appreciate...Good job! I am glad you are going into more details about the story you laid out in the prologue...of course the big burning question is 'You know they lose in the the first chapter, so how will they end up winning?' That of course, is the story you're writing...so we'll see how it goes! #Following." -KyleQuicksilver (quotes are from reviews on other sites) * If you enjoy it, don’t forget to boost Saga of the Jewels on topwebfiction.com!
