Chapter 0: Zero to One

## Script

*Chapter 0*
*Zero to One*
*Scene - A common city street*
*Player stands in front of a shop called "Azria" with his two friends, Bay and Chad, and their golden retriever, Wesley*
**Player**: ("Azria")
**Player**: (An ordinary board game bar that only hosts one session per day.)
**Player**: (It suddenly became the hottest place in town and has a waiting list of 2 months.)
**Player**: (But Bay doesn't have to wait.)
**Bay**: Excited? I'm bringing someone new today.
**Player**: (This is Bay and it's his 23rd session he's planned this year.)
**Chad**: Here it is. Are pets allowed?
**Player**: (This is Chad, and Wesley, their pet.)
**Wesley**: \*pants\* Arf!
**Bay**: Sure! We're going to spend the entire day here. Let's go in.
*Scene - Inside Azria*
*Bay and Chad sit on couches surrounding a coffee table that has a simple board game and a deck of cards*
*Andrew, the owner of the bar, sits across from Chad*
**Player**: (We're the earliest, as expected.)
**Player**: (Maybe the newbies are still busy with their makeup.)
**Player**: (What a downer!)
**Player**: (But at least the owner is really nice and handsome.)
**Player**: (He joined us in the first few rounds.)
**Player**: (Emm... I think I know why this place became so popular.)
**Player**: (After a few rounds, we got to talking to the owner.)
**Player**: Don't you have anything more exciting, Andrew?
**Andrew, the Owner**: Sure, but it's not for everyone.
**Player**: (He took out a box.)
*Andrew clears off the previous games and places a mysterious black box on the table*
*The box is covered with strange blue lines and has a blue diamond in the center of the lid*
**Andrew, the Owner**: Only those with "Double Helios" can open this box.
**Player**: What the hell is this "Double Helios"? Don't think you can fool me with your... chest.
**Player**: But...
**Player**: Something strange about this box.
*Player touches the box*
*The blue diamond sinks in and turns a golden color as the lid of the box opens like a flower*
**Player**: Oh! I opened it!
*Inside the box is strange cube sitting next to the now golden diamond*
**Andrew, the Owner**: (Whispers) Ah, another one...
**Andrew, the Owner**: Pick up the dice if you want to play.
**Andrew, the Owner**: But prepare yourself. This is a very, very realistic game...
*Player touches the strange dice*
*Suddenly, the golden diamond emits a bliding light that transforms into a swirling portal*
**Player**: Ah! What the heck!?
**Player**: Wait! Don't! It's pullin' me in! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
*Scene - Inside a steam room*
*From Player's point of view, he can see five muscular men and a muscular humaniod dog hang out in the steam room*
**Player**: ............
**Player**: Where... am I?
**Player**: Did I just get kidnapped?!
**Player**: Have these people been kidnapped, too?
**Player**: Well, at least I got company here...
**???**: Hey! Stop drooling!
*Player's view turns to see a strange, flying creature*
**Player**: Hey! Is that a flying... steamed bun?
**Bun-like Creature**: Everything is proceeding just as Lord Az predicted.
**Player**: Lord... Az?
**Bun-like Creature**: He said that the one who manifests in this world is going to love it here.
**Player**: What is this place? How did I get here?
*Player looks down but doesn't see his body*
**Player**: Whoa! What's up with my body?!
**Bun-like Creature**: Souls can't just float about all disembodied-like. You need an Avatar!
**Player**: Huh? I'm going to enter... another body?
*The bun-like creature guides Player outside of the steam room*
*Scene - Outside a Japanese-style bath house*
*Player selects an Avatar to inhabit*
**Bun-like Creature**: This should do the trick.
**Bun-like Creature**: Say, you stretch arms and legs first to adapt yourself to the new Avatar!
**Bun-like Creature**: Walk over to me first.
*Player walks over*
**Bun-like Creature**: You surely get the hang of the Avatar. Just as expected, only a Double Helios can arrive here.
**Player**: Double Helios?
**Bun-like Creature**: Let's try Gydar? It's an ability to perceive Gyees!
**Player**: Gyee?
*Various handsome men start appearing around Player*
**Priapus**: It's so comfortable to enjoy the human world hot spring once in a while.
**Chang**: Going to a hot spring, it's my favorite thing!
**Sig**: Taking a bath after forging, can't be better!
**Musso**: It'll be great if there is some red on the snowland.
**Rand**: Sweating in the Steam Room, it feels blissful!
**Yang**: (Sniff) I smell the odor of Mundanes.
**Bun-like Creature**: Are these the collections of Lord Az?
**Bun-like Creature**: Spar with them with your Avatar!
**Player**: Are we going to battle?
**Bun-like Creature**: Yeah. Luxium is where danger lurks. Gotta be strong enough to travel around!
**Player**: I... I wanna go back...
**Bun-like Creature**: Fear not! I'll be guiding you!
*A battle starts*
*Player, Sig, Priapus and Chang face off against Rand, Musso and Yang*
**Yang**: No one can catch up with me.
**Musso**: White snow, and red blood.
**Rand**: Haha! Look out!
**Sig**: I'll draw their fire!
**Chang**: Don't worry! I will keep you safe!
**Priapus**: God's will is delivered by me!
*Player and his team win*
**Bun-like Creature**: Ah, Avatar fits well!
**Bun-like Creature**: You won't lose your spirits and souls for now!
**Player**: Send me back!
**Bun-like Creature**: All right! Let's head back!
**Bun-like Creature**: The Gyees of Luxium await your coming!
**Player**: Wait, I thought we were going back to Earth?
*The bun-like creature flies towards Player and gets absorbed into the dice*
*Player then also gets absorbed into the dice*
**Player**: Hey aghhhhhh!
*Continue to Chapter 1*
