『 Each player's Flavor Text will henceforth be established as their personal Rules to abide. Do be aware that violation of said rules will result in loss of health points. 』 

This was a very
strange
new function.

"What's Flavor Text?"
I'd heard the phrase before.


That's right.
It's that thing that acts
as a description
for items, jobs, and places
in games like these.


"So I have to obey my
Flavor Text
or I'll lose HP?"


That sounded strange, really.
As to be expected from
a dull game,

I guessed.


But what was my Flavor Text?
I never bothered to read it.

"Guess I'll read it now..."

My player name was displayed
above her avatar;
and everything else came after it.

╔═══════════════╗

『LVL』100
『RANK 』Chaos
『JOB』Rulekeeper  
『HUNGER』Full
『STATUS』view

"Well,
it seems like I can click it,
at least."

Putting my her finger on the
'Rulekeeper'
the explanation box
popped right up.

╔═══════════════╗

『RULEKEEPER』

There is
an order
to everything
in the world.

    ╚═══════════════╝    



...uh,
that's it?


"Rather than Flavor Text,
this is just a
cool quote or something."

Really, a let-down.


But is this really all this
'Second Sonata'
thing had to offer?

Does this mean I can't
break the game rules
anymore?

Well, not that I've
ever broken any, anyways.

So basically,
nothing much really
has changed.

Chaa-chang!

『EXTERMINATOR』
is near you!

『Challenge to a PvP?』

YES ⋆               NO


It gave me a fright.

There usually wasn't
that strange chime,

and my phone
didn't usually buzz
for this game.

"Exterminator," I wondered,
"I've never seen this guy around."


I hadn't gotten into any
proper PvPs since I
became a Rulekeeper.

My level was too high
to be worth any at all.


"Huh?"
I noticed something new.

"This is a PvP zone, but..."

My avatar stood in a green clearing,
a field that was a place
plenty of level-grinding players
gathered on a daily basis.

"...there's no one around me?"


There was only me today.

And a little further away,
a gray-cloaked avatar,

by the name EXTERMINATOR.


"How eerie,"
I muttered.


My finger landed on YES,
but then the screen
just went completely

black.



...did the application
just crash?
