After school had ended for the day, Michelle immediately ran back to her dorm room, where she would be able to enjoy her time in Deep Ground in peace. Normally, Michelle wouldn't be so energetic about it, but there was the incredible news about the Black King of the Ebony Strykers recruiting. Such a thing was unheard of, and Michelle wanted to check it out. If she wasn't already in a guild, Michelle would have applied herself. Nonetheless, she wanted to see the Black King herself. Making her way through the halls and into her room, Michelle flopped into bed and readied herself to dive into the game. A moment of peace and quiet came and went, then the message came up:
[h1]Welcome, [color=ed1c24]Static Flash[/color][/h1]
Michelle opened her eyes. She was now in Deep Ground, in a neutral city. She remembered meeting some friends and then saying their farewells as they all logged off. Well, the past was the past; now it was the time to think about the present. She opened the interface and opened up a map, then ran off along a path, her passive Shukuchi skill making her much faster than most Players her level, if not all of them. 

Michelle kept running along the path, following the map to the best of her ability. After Michelle turned a corner, she nearly bumped into someone, but was able to just move out of the way to avoid a collision. Michelle decided that it would be best to move the map into a corner of her perspective, rather than have it block her view like that. After doing so, though, she noticed another person on her interface, unfortunately in Michelle's path. "Incoming!" Michelle yelled as she tried to skid to a halt, even going so far as to take out her naginata and plunge the button of her weapon into the ground.
