Real Kingdom Online: I’m an NPC in a Game?

After seeing a 'Chosen One' save her little village in person when she was young, Videl dreams of becoming a sword mage just like her. She makes it a point to join the 'Chosen Ones' Familia in order to potentially become friends with her. If the 'Chosen One' gives her crest to join her Familia, they would definitely become friends right? However, things don't go as planned as she ends up receiving a crest from some random little girl she saved on her way to Pendragon city to join the 'Chosen ones' Familia. And you can only have one crest at a time. Not only that, something crazy happens that may make it even harder for her to join her idol's Familia. Jenny Baker loves playing the deep dive VR game Real Kingdom Online and is basically the most popular player. So she leaves the more populated area of the game to play by herself. Setting up her Familia in a city called Pendragon City, she enjoys her time playing only with NPCs. However, doing so ends up causing something huge to happen in the real life world. Luna is a Goddess sent by the world of the gods to find out why no-one can leave the world of the gods as she is the only one that can.

Her Familia's Name

It took around five minutes before Chloe and Miiya were able to separate and pull Leala away from poor Luna who didn't have a happy look on her face.

'You said I could trust them….' Luna complained in a defeated manner.

"I apologize, I had no idea she would do that. I knew she liked cute things but I have never seen her react in that way." Tiana said with her forehead resting on her hand as she was sitting.

Chloe and Miiya where on either side of Leala holding her in her seat who was still starring at Luna with stars in her eyes. As for Luna, she was still laying on the table in the position she was in when they managed to pry Leala off of her.

'Can we forget this happened and continue with the meeting? Please?'

"Sure, so, Videl," Tiana then looked at Videl. "You asked about needing a name for your Familia, correct?"

"Um... yea that right. But how do I get one?" Videl asked

"Well, I was able to pick my own name back when I created my character. However, since you already have the crest, I am unsure of how you would name yours, therefore, I believe Luna to have the answer. Either she already has a name for your Familia or she knows how to give it a name." Tiana guessed. "Am I right Luna?"

'The former is correct.' Luna stated as she sat up and got into a more dignified position. 'In fact, it was already confirmed the moment I made Videl my 'Chosen one'. You see, originally the Familia name was supposed to be bestowed by the god or goddess as a means of more easily spreading their influence.'

'Therefore, they usually used their own name as the Familia name. However, during the event seven years ago, the names of the Familia's also changed along with the 'Chosen ones' appearances. Due to this, everyone in the world of the gods lost a lot of power when their influence on the mortal world ceased.'

"I see, so that's another reason they are so desperate to fix the problem…" Tiana pondered.

"What about our Familia name though?" Videl asked impatiently.

'Ok, Lets do this the official way even though you technically have already received it.'

Luna then stood up on the table and walked with a noble demeaner to the spot right in front of Videl. She then placed her hands just above Videl's head as if she was a fortune teller and Videl's head was a crystal ball.

'I, Luna Lovelight of the Lovelight Pantheon, herby entrust the Lovelight name to my chosen, Videl Lovelight!'

For the people that are born and raised in Videl's world, they normally don't have a surname unless they happen to be nobility. One of the many reasons she wanted to join a Familia was to receive a surname, and now that she has, she was so caught up in her excitement she forgot to breath for a few seconds.

"Lo-love L-light… Lovelight! Amazing!" after Videl recovered her breathing she got up and started jumping and dancing shamelessly around the room.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Videl Lovelight." Tiana said with a smile on her face after Videl finally calmed down and returned to her seat.

"em!" Videl responded with an ecstatic nod.

"Now that we have solved one of the requirements for starting your Familia all that is left is for you to go out and find some members." Tiana said bringing the meeting back on topic.

"Wait, but isn't that going to be hard? Isn't everyone in the area who wants to be in a Familia already in your Familia?" Videl asked suddenly feeling she might not be up to the task.

"Don't worry, there are actually many people I had to turn down that asked to join my Familia. There were many reasons and most weren't because they were bad people or anything, so I'm sure there are those out there that would be interested in joining you." Tiana began to explain. "Also, I set a requirement of eighteen years of age to join my Familia after my experiences from before I moved to this city, so even though I wouldn't really recommend it, you can also invite those that are younger as well."

'Don't worry Videl, you will have me with you at all times to help you with whatever problems come up. I can also detect if someone is having bad intentions, so go out here and interact with the people of this city confidently!' Luna said to try and encourage Videl.

"Ok, is there anything else we need to talk about before I go?" Videl was brimming with confidence after hearing what they both had to say.

"Hmmmm, Luna, is it possible for you to share more of your plan to save the world of the gods from their predicament?" Tiana couldn't help but asking the question that had been on her mind for a while.

'Well, as I still haven't been able to figure out what is exactly causing the problem just yet, the current plan is still to investigate and get stronger in preparation for when we do figure it out.' Videl said while shrugging her shoulders.

After Tiana relayed the message to her Familia members and went to the other side of the room to have a private conversation with them, she came back to continue the meeting.

"Me and my Familia members have agreed to help you and will provide you with our full support. Granted, the only thing I can do for the both of you at the moment is spread the word that you are my friend who is a 'Chosen One' looking for members to join her Familia. Hopefully, this will help you get the required members for us to start the Pendragon Kingdom as well as increase your strength."

'Ok, I appreciate the help.' Luna said with a bright smile on her cute face causing Leala to escape her now laxed confinement and charge towards her favorite new toy. Seeing this Luna instantly dissolved her body into small liquid like silver balls and returned to Videl's crest before the crazy dragon girl could catch her.

'We'll be off' Videl said as Leala collapsed onto the table with a depressed look on her face.

"OK, good luck out there." And with that farewell from Tiana, Videl reluctantly left to take a walk around the city.

After arriving at the center of the city that was bustling with people and merchant stalls Videl decided to start asking Luna some questions.

"So, what should we be doing right now exactly?"

'Well, the current plan is to get you to a higher level to improve your strength. According to what Miss Tatsuya said, to level up you need to collect experience, and she said there are three different ways to do this. One: kill monsters or bandits and what not. Two: Add someone to your Familia, which happens to give the most experience of the three. And three: complete a quest.'

'Since we are currently in Pendragon City, the easiest option to do right now would be to invite member to the Familia. So, I would say that while we are out walking around, you should keep your eyes out for anyone that might be beneficial to our Familia.'

"Ok, I'll try!" and with that, the search for Videl's first Familia member was underway.
