Chapter 1 Scenario 2

File:Placeholder

One is off-line, a place we are familiar with.

* "Now shall we start?"
* [Verify yourself. Confirming]

The other is on-line. A drift into dream shifts you into virtual reality world!

Lucid Adventure!

The Hardcore Leveling Warrior Party. Enjoying their adventure together, each having their own stories.

One day, they get caught in an unexpected event.

* "Sam Han, you rascal!"
* "Make this magic wear off!!"
* Sam Han: "Finish your will, Father."

Roy Han, Dark's grandfather and producer of Lucid, is in danger!

Despite the joined forces of the Player and Hardcore Leveling Warrior to protect Roy Han, the war tide sharply wanes due to the overwhelming power of The Giga Empire.

Watching this situation, Roy Han makes a final decision.

* Roy Han: "I have no choice."
* Roy: "All users shall be returned except the Dark Party.

* "?!"
* "What?"
* "Where did it all go?"

### Dialogue 1:

* **Dark:** Grandfather!
* **Geon Jae Han:** My Carter. I'm so sorry.
* **Dark:** You don't have to be. Just stay here from now on.
* **Geon Jae:** Now, I really have no power left.
* **Dark:** Now, I will protect you! While you were gone, I've got much stronger.
* **Geon Jae:** We've finally met. But we have to say good bye again.
* **Dark:** This will not be your end, will it?
* **Geon Jae:** You must win the combat tournament. Then you'll be able to meet me for a short period later.
* **Dark:** Later? What do you mean?
* **Geon Jae:** But for now, winning the combat tournament will be too hard at your levels. This is the last gift I can give.
* **Geon Jae:** It'll be hard. But this process will help you guys grow.
* **Dark:** NO!

### Cutscene 2:

* "Nurse!"
* "The VIP now, can barely breathe!"

* "Get ready Now!"
* "Don't hesitate!"

* "Do you want the hospital out of business?"

* Roy: "My grandson."
* Roy: "No, my precious."

### Dialogue 2:

* **Dark:** Ugh...
* **Arin:** Hey, are you awake now?
* **Dark:** No, grandfather! Please don't go!
* **Chi Pong:** I guess you had a nightmare.
* **Dark:** This was a dream? Really?
* **Liddie:** You must have been exhausted. Do you remember what happened yesterday?
* **Dark:** Yesterday? Come to think of it, you all must be...
* **Sora:** What's all this fuss about?
* **Hardcore Leveling Warrior:** My head is killing me.
* **Dark:** Hey. What happened to us yesterday? I can't tell whether I was dreaming or not.
* **HCLW:** Hey kid. Cut the crap. I'm all mixed up because of my splitting headache.
* **Sora:** I had a lot going on, so I'm not sure, but clearly...
* **HCLW:** Oh right. I just had a creepy nightmare.
* **HCLW:** I went back to my top-honor days but was initialized to level 1 again. Even though it wasn't real, it was the worst nightmare ever. Two initializations. Shoot!
* **Sora:** Mr. Hardcore Leveling Warrior. I also have that memory.
* **HCLW:** No way. Two initializations? I wasn't even dead.
* **Dark:** I ALSO have that memory. You have to face reality, Hardcore Leveling Warrior!
* **HCLW:** Then, you mean I really got initialized to l-level 1?
* **HCLW:** Aaaaarggghh! NO! This can't be true!
* **Arin:** What the heck have you guys been talking about? Level? Initialization? Did you play a game from somewhere?
* **Chi Pong:** Have a sip of t-tea and calm down.
* **Sora:** Thank you so much. Mr. Hardcore Leveling Warrior. Let's calm down and take things one at a time.

* **Liddie:** How are you? Are you feeling better?
* **HCLW:** Of course, it's weird that I'm back to the stat and items in my top level days. But still, can you imagine how awful to be given something just to lose it again?
* **Arin:** I don't think they're calming down at all.
* **Chi Pong:** I gave them tea with sedative leaves. Maybe I'm still unqualified for the Maid?
* **Sora:** No. Thanks to you, I've calmed down a bit. The Hardcore Leveling Warrior is steamed because of deja-vu.
* **Dark:** Try to reconnect. It could be a bug.
* **Sora:** That's right. System initialization isn't that easy! If taking him back to the top level days was a mistake, there might be a message from the manager.
* **HCLW:** Then, let's see.

* **HCLW:** I can't believe it. I can't even log out!
* **Dark:** He's right. I can't log out either.
* **Sora:** Come on. It's probably just temporary. There were two big incidents that went away, too.
* **Sora:** After coming here, we battled against [Jwala], the Event Boss. Right after the bout with [The Giga Empire].
* **Sora:** Gosh. Come to think of it, I haven't had a single bite to eat since yesterday. I'm starving.
* **Dark:** Sora, what did you just say? Say it again!
* **Sora:** About the part that I'm starving?
* **Dark:** No. Not that. About [The Giga Empire]!
* **Sora:** Before we came here, we fought to save your grandfather.
* **Dark:** So, that wasn't a dream! Grandfather.
* **Dark:** Wait a sec! I have to teleport right now.
* **HCLW:** It's no use. I've already tried it. It hasn't worked since yesterday. What the heck is going on?
* **Sora:** So, what should we do now?
* **Chi Pong:** Sorry to interrupt. But can you share information with us, too?
* **HCLW:** She seems to have gotten more composed somehow? Yesterday, I think she made a fuss while shooting a bazooka or something.
* **Liddie:** It's a long story, so why don't we go somewhere else?
* **Arin:** Our leader might know a way to solve the problems you all are facing.
* **HCLW:** Commander? We haven't even figured out who you guys are yet. So, who are you guys? NPC? Users?
* **Arin:** We don't exactly grasp your words either. You sound like a game character. Is that your concept?
* **HCLW:** What concept? That's exactly what I want to ask you guys! Why do you all keep pretending not to be game characters when you're NPC?
* **Liddie:** This will never end. So, I'll cut it short. We need the information you have. You do too, don't you?
* **HCLW:** So, are you intending we should exchange information? Deal! But if we smell something fishy, we're out of here. Keep that in mind.
* **Arin:** OK OK. Let's go before it's too late.
