In the midst of the sea far from all continent on Earth, there is something big floating, its shape is like an Island but ... Different, people can see things like trees and buildings, but the edge of the island is covered by a glass-like dome. It is one of the hand made island to perfect the technology, particularly artificial intelligent.

In the near future, the Government of the certain nation finally manages to complete the Artificial Intelligent which increase the rivalries from the other to compete. However before the official purpose of the technology was come to publics, the AI from that country was attacked by an unknown virus and destroyed.

Fearing this was the work of neighboring countries because of envy, a representative of the country come to the PBB to complain only to meet with representatives of other countries with the same problem. Surprised by this, they run the secret meetings about the incident and decided to find out what really happened. Then they make ''Athinaia Island'' on the sea, far away from the public and protected by warships patrolling at a safe distance

The Islands at first only inhabited by researchers and some military officers from each country. They constantly have some virus problem and keep doing trial and error. In the span of 1 year, one of the researchers establishes a breakthrough and opened a new path.

He was the one to discover the 'new world' where he was inspired by a novel. Heard it, of course, most researchers scoffed and object it because he is being childish. However, after his AI survived and adapt to new environments, many researchers competed to join in the projects. Then "Anchore" was created, a gauntlet that includes up to half of a man's arm without the hand cover. This device is used to do full dive in the 'new world' to help AI's to fight the virus that somehow takes the form of an imagination monsters.

However, for some unknown reason, a man or woman above 25 are not permitted to dive in for a long time and make researchers hold their heads in frustration because when they in critical time of winning, many veteran was forced out and decrease the combat power. That is when they decided to build an Academy on the island of Althinaia. The first generation of students of this school (50 students) works hard with AI inside and built two Fortress for help on defending, which a few year later transformed into a kingdom. Then the researchers decided to make AI into categories of 'Partners' and 'Soldiers' to help the users to be a leader who they call 'Champione'. And seeing the plan successfully hold the monster the researcher silently cheered.

The next step is to show the virtual 'new world' they call Gracia continent to the real world as one of the entertainment for the public and the new media to watch for recruiting and money donation. This leads to getting some young people who are interested, joining the Academy and leader of companies to donate. However, because a lot of people who want to go to the island of Althinaia, requirements and complicated things that have to be meet made a normal people only able to dream off. Nevertheless, this become a famous place.

In Althinaia Island, with a quarter of their place become School building, they have many buildings that you can find in every city like market, park, even forest, lake, and mountain make the island looked like a heaven. Of course the thrill of fighting the monster are what the young people looking for.

Yes, this isn't an ordinary high school which only study this and that, but school for someone who wants a challenge. It is a 'Gladiator School', some people's comments. However, the device that can create a 'world' which is different from reality that if the user is 'Defeated' in battle, they were still alive but the 'Point' of their decreased. As the they are not really in danger, so peoples who liked to fight start to gather.

Some people think this is just some game because they can choose their own armies and their unique equipment like RPG game with a fantasy theme and their specialty of sword and magic. And with the manifestation of the soldier, it looks like a Strategy game.

Even when the students overcame the monster (virus) with fighting, the researcher and some student who are not fond of fighting also worked to develop the system while researching on the monster body. However, these peaceful way couldn't always run smoothly, the Althinaia and Gracia continent was shocked by the death of lead researcher whose the only one knowing the Gracia continent the most. It forced his first AI which he proud off to take control of the main system.

However, many researchers objected the AI to be the one in charge. Nevertless she are the one with power because her creator wish despite the complaint of all people.

In certain places, a boy with black hair walking in a crowd of people has his head hung down while holding a bag with broken gauntlet with a gloomy expression.

''Haaah... What do I do... What do I do...''

''I really forget that I put my Anchore in my bag... Why did I throw it that hard... Now it's broken, even the uncle in neighbour shop telling me that it's been useless..''

''Tomorrow will be a welcome ceremony in the Academy... Sigh... ''

The boy blow a long sigh and walks without even looking where his feet guiding him to narrow alley that lead him to the bridge.

''Huh, where am I??''

He looks around because the unfamiliar location in panic before his eyes locked at the certain place. Blinking his eyes, he thought that his eyes deceived him and just stand there in shock before muttering.

''Huh...Isn't that... An Anchore!?"

The Anchore with a crimson color somehow stuck on the edge of the river, without saying anything he goes down to take a look at it.

''It's really an Anchore! I didn't expect to really find one, it's really a godsend... Ku Ku Ku...''

With a small giggle as he looks around to see someone, but as there are't so he quickly took it and run away...

Not long after that, he arrives in front of shop-like building and opened the doorway.

''Oh, here you are boy.. Where did you go?''

The one that greeting the boy is an old man with a thick beard wearing a blue apron in front of his white shirt and accompanying many people that focused their eyes on LCD television without blinking.

''Ah, sorry uncle Albert... So what is going on??''

''It's just another All of War battle.''

''Huh... Who is the participant?''

''It's-''

''''Wooooohhh...!!!'''' ''That is, crush him 'Roaring Dragon'!'' ''Wait, isn't it unfair that her enemy is just all-Mage soldier?'' ''It's because that 'Thunder Alliance' is too arrogant!!''

Before Albert can say something, some people starting their opinion about that battle. All of War is battle between 5 or more Champione to fight each other with no friend or allies or something like that, but it's seems the Champione that still standing for battle is, The Clan 'Roaring Dragon' with it's beauty leader, female Japanese with blue-aqua samurai armor and white katana in her hand and another 2 in her waist and a bow on her back with her samurai troops versus the Clan 'Thunder Alliance' with their handsome leader, male with blond hair wearing deep blue robe with lightning mark holding deep blue staff and their robed-like troops.

It seems that the man is cornered, but the boy just leaving as though uninterested.

''Hmm. Don't you want to watch it?''

''Ah, I am alright...''

''Huh... What’s with him? Well whatever....''

The boy just answered while averting his eyes and going to up the stair and to the back room. In this room one can see many tools on the desk and table, it looks like a working room. Without hesitation, he began to place the 2 Anchore on the table and wearing thick brown gloves. He should repair his Anchore before the uncle found it and reprimand him.

''Hmm... My Anchore is already dead, but this crimson one is still working. Because Anchore was a registered device I hope this one is not registered yet...''

The Anchore is an identity device for the students who studying in Althinaia Academy and is registered on the wearer, so other people can't mess with another belonging. However, there is some loophole in its system. So the boy planning to combine his broken one and the one he found. He is too concentrated and without he knows the sun already hiding in the horizon.

''Good. It's done... Phew... It's already dinner, I hope this is working...''

The boy tried to activate the device, and it began to shine...

No, the Anchore is still not working at all...

''What... How... But... It's...''

''Boy, it's dinner... Get your ass down here before your food is gone...!!''

''Alright, but please don't eat everything...''

The boy began to shake and mumbling because it's still failed and placing it above the chair after make sure to plug in the power cable to electricity and get down to dining room.

Unknown to the boy the Anchore began to shine red in few second.

In the certain bridge in night that just with the light of the moon, some shadows can be seen here and there, looking like they are trying to find something.

''Hey, are you sure 'that' dropped here?? I can't find anything.''

''Yes, I think 'that' is here... I swear..''

''Ugh... It's because you don't destroy it.''

''What? Is it my fault? Don't you say to just throw it away?!''

''Shut up both of you!! Haaah... Didn't they say that although 'that' is just broken experiment we must not let stupid person take it.''

Somehow between two conversations can be heard a lovely voice that somehow out of place.

''But, we are already searching for almost 3 hours...It's made me angry.''

''Fine. Let's get back. We just have to say that 'that' is gone.''

''Is it really alright?"

"Just shut up...! Let's go.''

In the night sky, 3 shadows gone to the dark side of the night.
