Year: 2XXX

World: El

"Why this item...? Why me?"

After continuous attempts of discarding the item, no luck was formed.

The item "Destiny chains" was a linked item which led to several deaths in the real world. Unknown reasons to leads to death but only to know that Destiny chains was in their inventory after checking their dead accounts.

The item has not shown itself for 3 months, putting people at ease. Until that day.

"Mith..." As people of the party started signing in.

"...." I just sat in the middle, like a outcast to all. I couldn't take it all in at once. It was abnormal for everyone to see me in shock like this.

"I need to log off..."

"How? You tried to log out the regular what else is there...?"

"...Attack me."

Everyone in the party all stepped back slowly when I said that.

"B-But if you get attacked by all of us, the system to your NetNav Pro X will overheat, It's too risky."

"JUST DO IT!" at that point I felt a hit from a sword...

I turn to see Koneko has stabbed me... but she was tears..

"Koneko..." I turn towards her to wipe her tears...

"I-I don't want to hurt you Mith...But I don't want you to die either..."

"I know... but I promised you didn't I..? That I would... stay by your side..."

"Mith... Please come back safely.."

I stand up to see everyone in the party readying their weapon to me.

I turn back to Koneko and smiled.

"See you in a bit."

------------SYSTEM OVERRIDED----------------

Location: Mith's room

The room was still dark but there are little sparks flying on the floor. The heavy breathing of a person was filled in the room...

"See...Koneko... I told you I kept my promise..."

Mith, stands there with chains on his wrist, still trying to regain his sense after the system override.

"Time to wake up,Mith..." A distant voice traveling the air...
