[color=green]"Lemme see it alreadyy~"[/color] Nyna said, with a /sigh emote, nudging Yasha.
[color=green]"I'll make it my smartphone's background... To remind me of Yggdrasil and all the fun things we done here."[/color] Nyna said, smiling.
[color=red]"Calm down Nyna!! I'll send it to you as soon as the game ends. I don't want to lose this... It's almost time..."[/color] Yasha said, sighing.
[color=red][I]So it's really happening huh? It'll take a while, but I hope Hakawa company's game will have a combat system as good as this one..."[/I][/color] Yasha thought to herself while looking to the big clock, quietly watching as it approached 0. 

[color=f26522]
"Hey... Sorry, but I kinda just Photobombed your pic. I'll move out the way so you guys can have your screenshot properly lol."[/color] A strange voice coming from behind interrupted them.

[color=green]"Waah! Didn't see you there!"[/color] Nyna said as she heard the voice, doing a /lol emote, jumping back.
[color=red]"Don't worry about it! I'll send it to you too if you so desire. The more the merrier, after all, screenshots and sweet memories will be the only things that will remain after Yggdrasil ends, am I right?"[/color] Yasha said, turning to the undead with a smile.
[color=green]"Name's Yasha. The hyperactive bunny over there is Nyna. It's a pleasure to meet you, even though it's already kinda late to say that, isn't it?"[/color] Yasha said to the undead, laughing.
[color=green]"Hey heey~!"[/color] Nyna said, with a /wave emote.
[color=green]"Ooh~ An undead!"[/color] Nyna said, getting closer to him to look at his avatar. Maybe a little too close.
[color=green]"Don't see one of those every day!"[/color] Nyna said, hopping around him, smiling
[color=green]"Welp, I guess it will be even harder now, right? lol"[/color] Nyna said, smiling to the undead.
[color=green]"I hope we can meet each other in another game, maybe play together."[/color] Nyna said to the undead, with a cheerful smile.
[color=red]"Nyna, it's time..."[/color] Yasha said, looking to her and pointing to the clock, which was almost hitting the time for the server to shut down.
[color=green]"I see... We must bid you farewell for now. Shall we end it exactly how we began?"[/color] Nyna said to the undead, before turning to Yasha and kneeling on the ground with only one knee, touching the ground with her right hand extending her left hand with her fist closed, facing upwards.
[color=red]"It would be an appropriate tribute to our fallen brothers, sisters and to this dying world."[/color] Yasha said, copying the gesture that Nyna did, touching her wrist with hers.
[color=red]"A blade that shall hunt the sinners..."[/color] Yasha said, closing her eyes.
[color=green]"Under the guidance of the true goddess of sin..."[/color] Nyna replied, closing her eyes.
[color=blue]"We shall bring punishment to the sinful gods and their followers."[/color] Both of them said together.
[color=red]"Farewell, Sister."[/color] Yasha said, opening her eyes, with a sad smile on her face.
[color=green]"Farewell, Sister."[/color] Nyna answered, her eyes open and with an equally sad smile on her face.

Both of them were expecting their screens to go black, but instead, they heard a strange ringing, as the world appeared to become fuzzy.

[hr][center][h2]New World[/h2][/center][hr]

[center][h1][color=green]Nyna[/color][/h1][/center]

Nyna immediately tried to cover her ears. That ringing was unusually loud, it was strange, almost like she was hearing that in real life. As the ringing continued, she fell on the ground, pressing her hands against her big ears. The pain was almost unbearable. The ringing was pounding against her head, becoming louder and louder.

After a few minutes, having to endure the pain and ringing on her head, she opened her eyes again, the world seemed to slowly focus again, but something was different...
She could feel the green grass under her knees, it wasn't something that Yggdrasil had. The pain and the ringing had stopped, but her hearing was strange... She could hear much more than before, smell much more... Almost like she really had the beastmen's enhanced senses.

[color=green]"W-what is happening here?!"[/color] She asked herself confused as she stood up and gently touched her face.
With her eyes wide open, she touched it again. It had a smooth feeling, exactly like skin, she could even feel her sharp claws gently scratching her cheeks...

Alarmed, Ha Yun looked around. She wasn't at the central plaza anymore. In fact, she had never saw that place before. Nyna was standing in a green valley. At north of her, a few miles away, she could see a tall mountain range, with a strange building at it's very top, on the other far end of the valley, she could see smoke, and a few buildings that appeared to be a village of some sorts.

[color=green]"What in the world...?"[/color] Ha Yun said again, extremely confused. Even walking was weird, the sensation of the green grass below her feet, her sharp nails sinking in the earth as she flexed her toes, the warm breeze, gently caressing her skin and passing through her ears...

But Ha Yun's thoughts were interrupted by a sharp pain coming from her stomach, together with an audible growl. Was that... hunger?
At that second, her instincts appeared to be strangely stronger than normal. She started smelling the air without realizing. She needed food.
Running towards the forest that extended from the middle of the valley until the base of the mountain, she could feel the wind on her ears, the strange sensation as she ran with an unusual agility, much faster than Ha Yun could run in real life. It was at that moment that something clicked inside her head.
[color=green][i]I... don't know if this is really happening but... I think I'm not Ha Yun anymore, but Nyna...[/i][/color] she thought to herself, as an unexpected smile appeared on her face.
Other people would be panicked at that fact, but she was in fact happy... She didn't know exactly why, but for her, whom the real word had nothing to offer, nothing that really made her want to go back, it was almost a miracle being there.

[color=green][I]"I can easily get used to this!"[/I][/color] Nyna, said, running and jumping towards the forest wielding her Lunar Edge. It was still kinda weird that her instincts were so strong... but every cell from her new body yelled that she needed to hunt. She could feel that not only her body had changed but... somehow herself was also changing, the way she saw the world, reacted to it...
[color=green][i]"This is... unexpectedly fun... It's strange but... I've never feel so alive!"[/i][/color] she thought to herself, as she felt the smell of wild animals on the forest ahead, letting her instincts guide her. That was one side of being a beastmen that she had never experienced before. It was very different from being a normal human. Her strong iatincts told her exactly what to do, her powerful muscles were strong enough for her to keep up with her prey, or get away from a predator. Her sharp senses allowed her to hear everything around her and smell her prey. But on the other hand... She knew that even if she wanted to ignore her instincts, she could only fight against them for so long... It was one of the downsides of being a beastmen. The other downside she had already experienced a few moments ago, thanks to her enhanced hearing.

Before Nyna could arrive at the forest though, a horrible sound caught her attention. It was coming from the word building at the top of the mountain. Even as far as it was, Nyna still healed that sound very clearly.
Immediately after the sound, a huge explosion followed by a bright scarlet laser appeared, coming from the building. 
Nyna would go there, but she was too hungry to think about anything other than getting something to eat, so she continued running towards the forest, trying to find a small animal, berries or anything she could eat.

[color=red]"Nyna...? What's happening? Are you ok?"[/color] Akane asked as she saw her falling on the ground. Strangely enough, her avatar's face was twisted in a grimace of pain. Even though the clock showed 12:00, she still waited for the black screen. Yggdrasil was supposed to shut down right now... What happened? Did they resolve to postpone it for a few minutes?

But before Yasha could even try to help her, she heard a strange ringing on her head, the world started to spin, becoming fuzzy as she felt incredibly dizzy, it was hard to keep her balance, she had to kneel on the ground, using her hands to keep her from falling. Everything was spinning around her, a maelstrom of sounds and sensations, some which appeared to be too real and vivid to be from Yggdrasil. 

The ringing and the sensations stopped as suddenly as they started, taking the dizziness with them. Yasha's eyes slowly started to focus again, things slowly becoming clear enough for her to actually be able to see. But they were different... The colors seemed to be more vivid, more... real. She could feel the cold and hard rocky ground, the small rocks were so real, even their texture and weight. 
And somehow... It was rather difficult to breath. She had to actually make some effort to breath.

Slowly standing up, Yasha got really surprised when she realized that she had no idea where she was...
All she could see around her were mountains and more mountains, she was at the very top of a mountain range, which surrounded a valley down below. Just over one of those peaks, actually a good distance away from the mountain Yasha was, a strange building could be seen. Looking at the valley below, she could see a forest, and at the very far end of the valley, a small pillar of smoke reached the sky. It was coming from a small village.

Yasha slowly touched her face, feeling a strange smooth sensation. It was skin. Real skin. That only confirmed what she was thinking. She wasn't on Yggdrasil anymore. Yggdrasil didn't have the technology to emulate those complex sensations such as skin, smell & etc... In fact, she didn't knew of any game in the world that had that type of technology. It was impossible, right? To make something so real, so vivid. 

[color=red]"Ouch!"[/color] she jumped, alarmed, after she pinched herself. Even pain was something there... That couldn't be a game... right?
Just to clarify, she tried to bring up the menu, but it didn't matter how many times she did the gesture, nothing came up. She couldn't see the log off button or anything like that.
[color=red]"This can't be real..."[/color] She said, trying to think rationally about what was happening. But it didn't matter how much she thought, she couldn't reach a 'logical' explanation for that. The only thing she could think, even if it sounded ridiculous, was that she had been transported to another dimension or something like that... Somehow, using her avatar's body.

First things first, walking all the way to the city was not an option... Especially without food, water or anything like that. Walking through the dangerous mountains to try to reach the strange building was equally tiring and dangerous. She had to do something.
It was an idiotic idea, but it didn't hurt to try... Making a gesture with her hands, she tried to see if Yggdrasil's magic worked there. It was crazy, but logic didn't seem to apply to that strange situation.

[color=red]"Hah..."[/color] Yasha chuckled, uncertain if she should feel happy or alarmed when she felt a strange, but extremely good sensation running through her body. It was her mana flowing through her as she casted the spell. It was a very powerful sensation, she almost jumped back, caught by surprise. The spell she had casted was 'Fly', a relatively simple spell to any high level caster.
She could control it very well, as the currents of air swirled around her, levitating her from the ground, speed, height, it was easier than she thought that it would be.
[color=red][I]Magic... I don't know where I am, but here it seems that it's real. I think that I like a world with magic more than the boring, dull world where I used to live..."[/I][/color] Yasha said, almost laughing at how fantastic and unreal her thoughts were, before grabbing her rifle and inspecting it. It was even more beautiful now than on Yggdrasil.

[color=red]"I need to gather information."[/color] She said, stopping the fly magic. Although her mana apparently was as big than it used to be on Yggdrasil, she was hungry, and before making any unnecessary movements, the best thing to do right now was trying to find other people to maybe help her and know exactly where she was. Luckily, she had a spell that would be perfect for that.
Waving her hand again, several magical screens appeared around her, a complex aiming spell, complete with reticule, automatically calculating the distance, wind speed and all information needed to shoot her rifle. But what she was interested right now wasn't that, but the aerial view of her position, shown in a small screen, which she promptly maximized, quickly confirming her position compared to the weird building at the top of the mountains and the village at the far end of the valley down below.

[color=red][i]"Before doing anything else, I want to test one thing..."[/i][/color] Yasha thought to herself, grabbing her rifle, pointing it up, aiming in an arc facing towards the village. The Requiem Aeternam started glowing as her mana passed through it. The aiming spell automatically turned on, displaying the Shell's trajectory, speed, range & all the numbers she could possibly want just as she started to cast the spell. A normal shot would suffice.

[color=red]"Oh... So the macros I set up from Yggdrasil work here as well... Neat."[/color] She said, with a smirk.

Differently from Yggdrasil though, she could feel her mana crystalizing in a thin layer around the 'flare' spell, inside the rifle's barrel, it was so complex, but at the same time so natural, so... instinctive to her. It was beautiful. Casting a spell was almost like hearing a beautiful melody. It was truly an exhilarating experience.

She was almost pulling the trigger when a bright scarlet laser made her cancel it. Using her target acquiring spell, she was able to zoom at the building to see what was happening. Thanks to the laser having exploded the wall, she was able to see what was going on inside.
The laser seemingly came from a weird, ugly looking monster. Apparently there was a group fighting against it.
[color=red][i]"Well... Let's see how this will end...[/i][/color] Yasha said, sitting down and watching them fighting over the magic screen. If things went bad, she could send a small shot there... But that would depend on how they would deal with the situation. For now, the best thing to do was just sit down and watch, as she didn't have neither the energy nor the reason why to fight against that monstrosity.
