Chapter 2 - Restart

*3rd POV*

After the news hit Akira stayed on his room for three weeks and made his family annouce his death as would be expected after his game death. He barely got out of his room but instead of wollowing in self pity Akira was drafting working on a new Charcter design and Plan to find out what happended to him actually. He worked tirelessly day and night. On his 22nd day of working his sister entered his room.

"Akira I told your friend your still alive. His here to see you." She said as she looked at Akira who was looking at wall that looked like those walls detectives have when solving cases. Akira slowly turned to his sister.

"Yuki. Yuki. Yuki. I need to work in total silence inorder to be productive." Akira said.

"I'm letting Zein-sama in whether you like or not." She said as she left. Akira shrugged and put a slice of toast in his mouth as he went back to the wall which had reports of past crashes of the game.

"This doesn't add up. In all the instances of crashing no players were killed as a consequence. Unless!" Akira quickly went to his computer and looked up an article on the consequences of crashes on players. He saw one of the short-term effects was skill nullification. His eyes widened as dozens of ideas came into his head.

"Hey Akira." Dai entered the room. Akria turned to Dai while laughing.

"What's so funny Akira?" Dai asked confused. After that question Akira instantly went serious.

"I believe someone made an attempt to murder me. Well they succeeded so I have reason to believe someone killed me."

Dai's eyes widened as he looked at Akira.

"What the fuck! Are you sure! Wait shouldn't you share this is information with the authorities." Akira smirked as soon as Dai stopped talking.

"No no no. I'll find whoever did this and kill them with my own power. This is a vendetta I take upon myself." Dai looked at Akira as he got up and walked out of the room.

"Hey Dai. You'll find your way out and I'll see you later." Akira said that to Dai and walked down the hall as he approached his uncle's office. He knocked as his uncle said "Come in." Akira entered and sat down .

"Akira you ok?"

"Oh I could never be better uncle. I have reason to believe the death of Ultimate Ninja wasn't just a glitch due to the game crashing. I believe someone killed me."

"What?! You have the clan's support in the endeavour of following this lead!"

"No. I want to do this on my own. I will hunt down these guys and kill them myself."

Akira and his uncle shook hand and Akira returned back to his room and opened his design book as he looked at a page of his Ultimate Ninja design. Akira chuckled as tears fell on the page. He then drew a huge X on the page and flipped to the next page. To a samurai design. The design was a samurai wearing a white samurai gi sporting two wooden swords seethed around his waist. The samurai had a white blindfolded around both his eyes. The name of the design was "Blind Ronin." Akira smiled as he saw this design and he took the game and logged in.

He felt the usual electric shock as his conciousness merged with the system and he was at the Charcter creation screen.

"Commence Charcter Creation." Akira said

'Race?' The system asked

"Human."

'Entered. There are 4 classes of humans. Would you desire an in depth analysis of each class?'

"Guess it's been a while since I've heard about these. Yes."

'The 5 classes are:

1. Nordics: A class of human originally from the northern islands of Nordica. Due to the devastatingly low temperatures this class human have evolved intense thermal resistance and thier harsh climate has forced them to develop incredible defensive and offensive power. But due to to thier climate containing a low magic density in the area they have a low affinity for magic but they have a inherit power to be born with the ice affinity.

2. Akūn: A class of humans from the great continent Ninyo a.k.a the Continent of Death. This continent's atmosphere is so dense with magic those who don't have advanced magic creation are rendered unconcious within 20 minutes of being on the continent so the Akūn are blessed with a great affinity to magic. Thier bodies have evolved to contain the magic in thier bodies making all of them at the age of 8 muscular. The women of the class don't get as large as the men. They also have a huge affinity for the earth affinity. The Akūn are more in touch with nature than all other humans. They don't encourage technology or the use of technology.

3. Shínō: The Shínō hail from the continent of Kiyokushi. Their climate is as forgiving as most around the world not being as harsh as Ninyo or the Nordica islands. The Shìno posses a affinity for fire and earth. They developed using these affinities to develop the metal affinity. This is their huge trump card. This class of human are very traditional and follow thier tradition to the letter. They have a very war based tradition (similar to Japan). They never run, quit nor faulter. They are born strategic geniuses. Thus their win percentage is 98%.

4. Trèkèrs: This class of human hail from the small island of Britania. They over history spread over the world. Thus they can be split into 3 sub-classes. Thier Ninyo class, Shiro class and Southern class. Thier Ninyo class has evolved to live on Ninyo. They have an affinity for fire and magic. Thier Shiro class is has evolved to live on Shiro which is the sky islands. Thus they have an affinity for air. Their Southern class has evolved to live in the southern islands meaning they posses an affinity for a dark form of fire known as Dark Flame. The Trèkèrs originally have an affinity for mind control and are born with a lot of charisma which gave the old nickname to thier island, crook's land.'

"I choose the Shínō class."

'Entered. Please insert name.'

"Hmmm. Blind Ronin."

'Choose class.'

"What are the classes again?"

'There are seven classes:

1. Assassin (a.k.a Thief) class

2. Swordsman class

3. Necromancer class

4. Buster (a.k.a Strength) class

5. Advanced (a.k.a tech) class

6. Sage class.

7. Tank.'

"I choose swordsman class."

'Class entered. Charcter Design required?'

"Time to cook."

Akira worked hard on the design. His Charcter was complete with pale skin and long black hair with one long hair going down his hair. He sports a white samurai gi with a blue decoration drawing of Dragons. The lad would wear a white blindfold. The lad would have two wooden blades seethed on his waist. The lad would wear sandals with white short white socks. The whole design would emmit respect.

"This turned out nice. Design submitted."

'Design entered. Welcome Blind Ronin to Maximum Overdrive.'

The screen would go black. After a little white the voice of the world would speak.

"SELECT SPAWN!" The voice would speak with the voices of a thousand men.

"A forest in the Astero Continent."

The voice would go silent and the screen would remain black. After a little while Akira would feel a breeze hitting his skin. He would feel grass on his feet and the scent of the forest would embrace his nose. Akira thought to himself.

(What the heck! Why can't I see!). He began panicking as he took a few sets back until he hit a tree with his back. He then sat down against the tree remembering he his blind.

"Oh yea. I'm blind. Shit this is how this feels. Dammit." Akira took a deep breath as he smelled the enchanting aroma of the forest and he was instantly invigorated.

"Heck yea! Time to start my journey to the top!!"
