Kincaid spent the whole school day, in various classes, staring out the window, half listening to the teacher drone on about this or that, their voices eventually settling into the wa-wa-wha of a Peanuts cartoon. Outwardly, he looked bored, but inwardly, he was exited about the new VRMMO that he was now a proud owner of. Aincrad: Remastered Edition. After what felt like an eternity, the school bell rang it's nostalgic chime for dismissal. Kincaid quickly packed and was the first out the door. His home was within bicycling distance, so he grabbed his bicycle and flew down the sidewalk.

	When he got home, his family wasn't home yet. He put his bike away and hurried upstairs. he turned the lights on in his room and booted up his computer. As it was booting up, he got the clunky-looking helmet out and plugged it in. The computer started up and he quickly checked the time. 4:59 PM. [i]Perfect.[/i] He took off his glasses, put the helmet on and laid on his back on his bed. He spent the last minute starring at the ceiling and the built-in clock. It hit 5:00. Kincaid blazed through the start-up sequence. The avatar creation took some time, as he made certain that he liked the look, and the equipment. Soon, he was ready. He thought 'OKAY' and Araris appeared in Aincrad. The game immediately introduced him to the Town of Beginnings and offered a tutorial. He took it, as it offered prizes for completion, usual he would skip the tutorial, preferring to figure it out on his own. Araris looked around, taking in the graphics. It was amazing. There were many others logging in, and wandering around following their own tutorials. Not one to socialize, Araris immediately headed out to the surrounding fields for some combat.
