Mythran's Master Of All

Lucy didn't care much for the feeling of transition into the virtual world, but hoped she would get used to it after a while. Ren has been doing it for months now, and he hasn't complained about it once. Lucy woke up in her bedroll, but when she'd gone to 'sleep', it was in the back of the cart and not on the ground. Lucy panicked a little until she saw Ren sitting beside her.

Ren noticed Lucy wake up and put away the shield. “Good Morning... or, afternoon I guess.” Ren said and looked overhead. Ren had finally found out that there actually was a bright ball of light in the sky. It wasn't blinding to the eye like the real sun, though. “How did everthing go?”

“Oh, you know how it is. I spent most of the day just waiting for the transfer to go through.” Lucy said and sighed. Lucy looked around and noticed they were just outside the city walls. “Where's Aimus?” Lucy asked. “...and why aren't we inside the city?”

Ren smiled. “Well... your body would change once we went into a safe zone. You'd be like a phantom and nothing could touch you.” Ren smiled. “Actually, I think it would be pretty neat to see if the game would just phase you right out of the cart and let you hang right in the middle of the road.”

Lucy looked shocked. “What are you talking about? Phase? What's that?”

It was Ren's turn to sigh. “Sorry, I forgot that you're not too experienced with gaming. You may have seen me do some things, but that doesn't mean you'd know what it meant.”

Ren went on to explain how in safe zones, the player would become insubstantial so they couldn't be hurt. Ren kept talking and gave Lucy a brief overview of the game and how some things worked.

“Oh! That reminds me. I haven't done this before... but I read how to do it.” Ren said. “System: Form Party.” Ren got a popup.
