Prologue
-•-—•—-•--•-—•—-•-

In the kingdom of Wizoria, there only exist witches and warlocks. It is divided into four lands.

1: Skitteria or the Land of the Transfiguration Masters
2: Muffiera or the Land of the Spell Masters
3: Miffleira or the Land of the Potion Masters
4: Spottums or the Land of the Dark Mages with the forbidden magic of absorbing magic.

The three lands - Skitteria, Muffiera and Miffleira - are under pact. Each member can freely enter their lands, interact with one another, and learn each other's lands specialty magic.

The three have always been together in a fight against the Spottums who were greedy enough to stole a gem which held the power of restoring the balance of magic and life within Wizoria.

In the game, the target is to get the gem and be crowned the new King/Queen.

*You just died. Transporting now to Central Town of Muffiera*

"What the hell? This is like the 9th time already!"

He angrily and furiously typed on his keyboard as he sees his avatar on stand by mode.

Recharging Time Left:

300 seconds

He needed to wait for another 5 minutes, and yet he was so close to defeating that mage!

A private message from rainbowneko

>rainbowneko: Hello. I saw you just died again. Wanna team up in a party?

He was shocked to see someone sent him this message. He never really wanted to team up in a party in this MMORPG. It was not because he didn't need to. No, he was not that good. Definitely, there were a lot of players out there that were way better than him that he should benefit from. Like some might think, it was a good idea to team up with them. However in this kind of RPG game, higher level players usually have an edge against the lower level players; and Max knew that very well.

When teaming up, you also needed to consider both the class of the player, and their playing schedule. It sucks to wait for the other player to go online. Hence, all of his previous teams never lasted for another day before it was dissolved. To think that this was like the 9th party invitation he already received.

He checked the player's stat.

Player Name: rainbowneko
Player Stats: Level 89
Class: Miffleira
Familiar: Twin-tailed lynx

'Oh. A Miffleira! And, that is a rare familiar this player got. Almost the same as mine.' He thought.

Player Name: kuromushi
Player Stats: Level 88
Class: Muffiera
Familiar: Twin-headed panther

>kuromushi: Hey. Lol! I am up for it. How's the splitting of Boss bonus item drop?

>rainbowneko: I don't need the item. You could get that. I only needed the common item drops of the familiars.

>kuromushi: Oh. Cool. I still have 150 seconds left to recharge.

>rainbowneko: Sure. I will just go to the item shop. I'll be back.

>System: rainbowneko invited you to a party

>System: You accepted rainbowneko's invitation.

He pushed himself away from the computer screen. His eyes hurt. It was 10:46 pm, and to make it worse it was Monday.

He then heard loud footsteps coming ever so closer to his door.

'Sh*t!' He thought to himself. He quickly shut his laptop, and leaped into his Queen-sized bed.

"Maxi? You still awake?" He didn't answer. And, to be honest he didn't really know how to. After a bit, the footsteps started again, getting further and further away, meaning she was gone.

Max's mother thought of this stupid nickname for him: Maxi. He hated it. Nevertheless, his mother always used it. Even in public. This is also the reason Max loved disobeying his mother and staying away from her as much as possible. Some son he is.

After laying down with his eyes closed, he finally found sleep.

-•-—•—-•-

The deafening sound of his alarm clock was what woke him up.

Tuesday. Already. The little devil beside him was telling him to get up. He was still tired from staying up so late. But, he had to get up. Because today was another day of hell (his words for school).

Once Max had done everything he needed to, he looked at his messages on the MMORPG he was playing last night.

Private message with rainbowneko

>rainbowneko: Hey? Were did you go?
>rainbowneko: You still there?
>rainbowneko: Alright... Night!

"F*ck!" Max whispered to himself. He would have to delete these later to make room on his laptop for school. But, right now he had to get to school.

When Max was about 5 minutes from school, he saw him. His perfect hair blowing with the wind. No, he didn't like him. He hated him, despised him. Every inch of his living soul that he wished would just curl up and die! Everything about him!

His name was Reiss.

Reiss was Max's arch enemy, and could possibly be the worst person on the planet (according to Max). Reiss had once upon a time played this video game with Max that he later never touched again, because he apparently 'totally smashed him'. Then, he went and bragged about it to everyone. If he had to admit it, Reiss only beat him by the tiniest bit. He only won because he was letting him win (once again, according to Max).

Reiss was what made this hell hole Max called school even worse. He was like the Satan that overlooked the dreaded place. Making it worse, his dad was the headmaster.

Somewhere deep inside himself, Max could already tell today was going to be a long day.

:: Authors Note — Mitsu ::

Hello readers! This is me, Mistu. If you've read the version on my profile, and memorised it pretty well, then you've realised I've done a little bit of tweaking here and there. That's simply me sprinkling my magical kitty dust all over the place.

Anyway, I and Mushi do hope you continue reading further. Thank you for at least reading the prologue!
