All Hail The Online Queen: Game start

Who Is King

"Hello, Queen, welcome back. Where were you anyway?"

Brandon looked at me disapprovingly, crossing his arms staring at me. I looked down and told them what happened.

"...My mom committed suicide, and I was in a small coma for a few days.... sorry...'

Brandon and Ryan just stood there staring at me in shock, wide eyed. Ray ran up behind me and hugged me tightly.

"Jeez, Brandon, so rude. At least let her explain herself before you start judging her. And Queen, I am so sorry for your loss. Would you like  to come sit with me for a bit or just go on your own? Wait, shouldn't you be with your loved ones right now?"

"She was all I had, my dad never showed up and hated her; and my grandparents live in a different country without the money to come over here for her funeral. So I'd rather just play this and get my mind off of everything... if that's okay with you guys..."

I looked up at everyone, waiting for a response. Brandon sighed and turned around, rubbing his temples agitatedly. Ryan just stood there shocked before walking up to me and hugging me tightly patting my head.

" Just take as much time as you need, you're probably really shocked after having all that happen to you."

"I'm okay... I just want to play games and forget about it for now. Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

I looked up at him and smiled really cheekily, then moved away from him. Everyone looked at me confused.

"Did you guys go to the village?"

"Yeah, we went for a while."

"Did you find anything?"

"Yeah, in that shop you said you felt someone watching you, there were traces of someone standing at the window facing the path: but there was no evidence of anyone walking away from there, which is very odd. Now, the question is, where did the person go? They didn't walk away, they didn't die, And they didn't use teleportation magic otherwise their prints would've showed up in a fifteen yards radius from where they were initially standing."

"Where could they have gone?"

"Hmm, how odd... well, lets mostly focus on training and other stuff but still keep an eye out for any clues leading to them. Yeah?"

Brandon, Ryan, and Ray stood there confused, while I was excited and intrigued. I was practically bursting with excitement. Brandon and Ryan looked up at me after I made that suggestion.

"Yeah, that would be the best action to take in this situation."

"Very true. Well then, Queen, I do believe you have some training to begin, if you're feeling up to it that is."

Ryan smirked challengingly down at me, as though he were thinking I would back out of training. I smirked at him and looked at him pridefully, leaning my weight on one of my legs while crossing my arms over my chest.

"Alright, let's begin the training. No excuses from me."

"Alright, but be warned, I'm not holding back just because you're new here. especially after seeing you fight once already."

"Come at me, I'm not holding back either."

Ryan and I grinned at each other as we quickly equipped our weaponry and armor. I, wearing black  lightweight armor with red dragons and pink cherry blossoms carved into it and wielding two thin yet strong rare swords, one purple and black the other blue and black; Ryan, wearing silver lightweight armor that had a giant gold sun carved in the middle and wielding a large silver and bronze sword that seemed to weighing him down a bit.

"Charge!"

Ryan charged towards me, sword pointed straight at my chest. I ducked around him and kick his back forcing him forward, he rolled out of the way as i swung one of my swords towards his throat. He jumped up and went behind me swinging down at my back. I dodged his blade and flipped backwards over him, grabbing his head and knocking him onto his back. I stabbed at his face as he swung at my legs, I jumped over his sword and by doing so missed his head, I did a one hand hand stand on my sword and flipped forward pulling my sword out of the floor. I landed standing over him and swung my blade at his chest and face, stopping at his vital points declaring him as the loser of this round.

We looked at each other and I helped him stand up. I smirked and fist bumped him, he grinned and patted my head. Ryan started to try to play it off sarcastically

"Just so you know, I only lost because I had been fighting Brandon before. Okay?"

"Sure, I'll let you believe that.... until I beat you again next round."

"Oh? Well someone sure seems confident in their skills. I'm not The Greatest Sword master for nothing ya know? You should be more careful around me, you might get hurt."

We stared at each other grinning like mischievous siblings, talking sarcastically. I rolled my eyes at him as he clicked his tongue at me. Then we just started laughing when we saw Brandon staring at us raising his eyebrow like he was looking at a couple immature kids. Brandon started laughing too as Ray began laughing with us. After about two minutes of laughing hysterically I wiped away the tears from laughing and headed out of the room, turning towards everyone else.

"Hey, I'm gonna go walk around in the woods for a little bit. I'll be back."

They nodded at me still laughing,  but at Brandon who tripped and fell flat on his face.  I walked out he back door and started on a small path in the woods. I walked for about half an hour until i saw a small abandoned table in a small clearing, I walked over to the table and sat down resting my head down on my arms. Before I knew it I had started to cry while sitting at the table remembering about what my mom did just a few days ago.

" I told you you weren't okay."

I jumped when I heard the voice of the boy I saw in my dream, I started looking around frantically searching for the owner of the voice.

"Where are you?! Who are you?! Please answer me, please! I just want to know who you are, or at least where you are... who are you?!"

" HAHAHAHAHAHA! COME OUT KING! CAN'T YOU SEE SHE'S LOOKING FOR YOU?! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

I screamed and started running after hearing a loud evil voice screaming and laughing hysterically behind me, I heard footsteps following me until I left the woods, I had begun crying from fear. I burst through the doors of Ryan's house tears still streaming down my face, I shut and locked the doors. Brandon and Ryan came running towards me concerned, and started asking me questions simultaneously.

"What happened?"

"What's wrong?"

"Why are you crying?"

"Why did you scream?"

"I-I I saw it, it tried to attack me..."

"It?"

"I-I don't know...."

I started shaking again and Ryan lead me to the dining area with Brandon and Ray, making me some tea to calm me down, as I told them what happened.

"First off, Who is King?"
