"… Yes, let's all get together."
The room trembles as the eternity is broken. The walls crumble, revealing the huge chamber underground. Thousands of priests and paladins, petrified in time are praying in circles around the saintess. They slowly open their eyes, ready to resume, and end the war.
The girl, the saintess stands up, looking at them all in the eyes.
"Our target is the void creature only. Banish it."
The Sage of Life and Death steps out from the underground for the first time in 700 years. Linked to her soul are millions of undeads, ready to act on her command.
"Purge every single demon on this continent!"
Aruk step out from the labyrinth. The city is quiet as every goblin has been evacuated to other cites nearby, leaving only the 57 residents of the inner city. They each hold weapons dark as obsidian and enveloped in a malevolent aura.
"Shoot down those shitty lizards!"

"Sister! Sister, Look! The continent is going crazy right now!"
Alni is watching the ongoing streams early in the morning. All across the continent of Orin, Demons and Undeads are battling to the death. A war involving the entire world happened overnight and the world was set ablaze.
They watch the opening animation for the event.
The Holy Kingdom waged war with the Divine Kingdom and an army of living and dead is marching through the border. The army is led by a deathly pale elf, the [Sage of Life and Death], and opposing them is an equally large army of demons and corrupted creatures.
Above the Holy Kingdom, a huge monster descended in the form of a giant eye wrapped in a black socket that also allows it to blink. The black flesh splits into countless tentacles and freely morphs into deadly maws, tearing away at the demons falling from the red crack behind.
At the same time, the Grand Cathedral of the Holy City collapsed, revealing priests and knights far underground, radiating divine light. At the center is a girl giving off a profound sense of melancholy, [Saintess Arianna] staring solemnly at the descending monster.
Lastly, a scene where giant lizards taking to the skies is shown. They are black dragons. Standing beyond their seemingly unstoppable advance are dozens of Goblins less than their number, led by the four [Goblin Lords]. In their hands are black weapons emanating violent curses, promising eternal suffering.
After breakfast, the sisters quickly enter the game.

==========
Race: Fay
Description: The race that represented the extinct Spirit Race. Any of the Spirit Race can evolve into a Fay, and that includes the Goblins who descended from the Fay, considered as half-spirits.
They have tremendous affinity with nature and wields mana like their own body. The mana consumptions of spells are reduced to the minimum and so does the casting time. That does not, however, increase the destructiveness of their magic.
This form is a gift from Mother Earth to her children who wishes to leave her cradle and walk their own path. The Fay are the children of the world.

"There is so much to take in… I'm confused."
"We just have to fight like crazy! Let go to the worst battlefield!"
They chose the main quest of warring against the Divine Kingdom which is taken over by demons.

[You Received A Message From The Gods]
[To Every Warrior… We Bless You With The Fortune Of War]
"… I got left behind."
Like all other players, she received a great boost in power and became a High Elf. She has the power of an ancient hero, yet, compared to the players Monster Race that gets to evolve into mythical creatures, it's pretty lacklustre.
Just before Aruk turned into a big slime, Aruk brought April back to the Celestial Court that's now in the form of a tower holding down the abyss gate.
There is a good reason of pulling the gate above the continent. For one, most demons would fall to their death while the rest are within range of the magic realm. The numerous enchantments here were made for external invasions so anything down the continent is not within range.
But that has nothing to do with April.
She came back here because she wanted to move away from the battle. She noticed it before, but the Fels are indistinguishable from the players. No, in this world, the Fels are more real than the players, and that what makes her distressed.
It means that her 'friends' can die forever.
She is an artist, she sings in real life too, an amateur singer. There is no real goal or expectations, she sings for the sake of expressing herself because of how easily emotional she becomes. She wants to sing about what she sees, hears and feels to share her experience, to know that she is not alone.
She is a selfish singer. She avoids any contracts and sings solely for herself, turning her own experience into songs. She sings when she wants, and will not sing when she feels dull, not letting other people affect herself. She rarely looks back to the songs she already made, always looking for new encounters with nature and culture.
Because of that, she avoided anything sad or painful.
"I hate this feeling, when everything is uncertain and I'm forced to stop moving to reflect…"
Perhaps she places more importance on this world than she thought, it is difficult to just brush off the events and move on.
"It's all that goblins fault…"
He made her realise the beauty of this world, and thus how fragile it is. The battlefield forced into her the meaning of sacrifice, and it's necessity.
She does not want to see it, that's why she left the battlefield and declined to join the event. Yet, she cannot stop thinking about the 'friends' she made in this world.
"The event is a Requiem… what a weird choice of word…"
She stands up from her slouched position.
"… How do I sing one."
