It was Ace, he was looking for the virtual console for the game, Legends of Aluna.
"Where can we find the virtual reality consoles?" Ace asked one of the storekeeper.
"You can find it there somewhere, just read the signs" Seeing that a mere 16 years old was asking, The store keeper immediately lost interest.
'That's a very bad customer service you got there' Ace shrugged and looked for another storekeeper. Even though he was with Luke, His brother was still a kid so his not that familiar to this shop. The console that his brother owns was bought by his parents.
"Hello, sir? How may I Help you?" A beautiful blonde girl asked Ace. Her eyes was blood red in color and her body shape was nearperfect.
'Never taught that there was a beautiful girl in a place like this' Ace was bewitched by the charm of the girl.
"Hello, Sir? Are you okay?" The girl repeated herself.
"Y-Yes, I just want to know where is the virtual reality consoles located?" Ace snapped back to reality and answered the girls question.
"Let me guide you, sir" Straight away, The storekeeper showed the location of the VR consoles. A row of capsule-like machine entered Ace's vision, it was like a scene in Dr*gon B*ll.
"Do you have any device on mind, Sir?" The girl probed.

After 30 minutes everything had been set.
"Finally, I can play now!" Ace roared as he saw the beautiful device in his room. He immidiately lay down and log in.
"What was the magic word? Uhm, That's right! Link Activate! " colorful bright lights entered Ace view.
"Amazing!! " Seeing this, Ace grew excited he was immediately transfered to a pure white room. He moved his hand like a child.
"I am really in a game!"
A transparent panel with letters appeared in front of him.
"A name, huh? Well, the name was already decided a long time ago." Ace started to type his ingame name which he was very familiar. It was the name he used in climbing the ladder to the top.
