The Nameless Crown
Chapter 3 - The Small Garden
“Can you explain the rules of this game I'm going to play? Elesis?”
“Of course, that's why I'm here as Guide.”
Elesis smiled as he turned the wheelchair around. So that his body swirled around like in a Ferris wheel.
“Alright then ... First your gender will be the same as your own body, so there is no different Gender like a Player with a male gender but choose a female gender for her Avatar ... things like that will be worn penalty of my own”
“Hmm... that's good.”
Elesis smiled back and he explained the next rule.
“Secondly, Players who have intentionally or accidentally participated in this game will not be able to return to their bodies. That means you will live in this game forever.”
With the look on his face that suddenly turned cold, Ryan was a little shocked by the rules that Elesis explained this time.
“Don't joke, Elesis! Or do you want another bump on your head?”
Ryan had prepared to go back to nudge Elesis' head. It was visible on his right fist that was already firmly clenched and took out a vein. While his face was closed with his lips trembling.
“Tu-wait a minute, Ryan. Of course you can get out if you complete your duties as a Player in this Flaghar Park”
“You mean?”
“Let's explain if you're already in the starting place”
“Alright, then continue”
“Ehmmm .. the third, basically the game system this time is the same as the MMORPG game. You must have understood Ryan?”
Ryan nodded slowly. He understands very well about the MMORPG game system.
“But not just an MMORPG but a DOMMORPG. The Direct Open Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. There will be some additional settings if you meet one of the conditions. One of them is when you are married or entered into a party”
“Me-married!?”
Ryan flinched with such a startling explanation.
“Of course you'll find out after you've committed the loyalty oath. After all, it is not only your consciousness that is carried into this world but your real body is also brought into this world as well. You know what that means, though, if you get married in this world it means that you also marry people in the real world and if you have a child then that child will come out of this world when this game is finished”
“Gulp ...”
Now Ryan has to be extra careful with all that. Because the rules and explanations of this game are so extreme, getting married? The kid? Brmr ... Ryan immediately shivered when he thought about it all, after all he was 16 years old and no more.
“The fourth is in this world violence is absolutely prohibited if it is in a safe zone, city, and also save point. But PK or Player Killer is allowed in this game”
“APA!? Elesis this time I don't like it when you're joking!”
“I'm sorry Ryan, but the Developers who operate the game do include that rule in this game”
“Sial!.. If I knew who they were, you wouldn't hesitate to give this bogem to them.”
Ryan clenched his right hand.
“Then next? Wait a minute there's something you most want to explain to me”
“What is it, Ryan? Anything other than my status is allowed, if you want to apply to me you can. hihi”
“Ha... ha.. ha..
Ryan laughed in a forced and disjointed tone like a jammed exhaust sound.
“Come, Ryan. That was I was just kidding”
“Well forget about it, if I die in this world will my real body also die in the real world?”
“No, your real body freezes into this world system. If you die you will be revived if a day has passed, but if you die often, then one or maybe all of your limbs will be numb, and the worst-case scenario is destroyed”
“This is what I've been worried about and it seems very dangerous once”
“The rest is the same as in most other MMORPG game systems, but in this world all the senses are the same in the real world. Hmmm .. already yes, then once again I welcome you into the world I made –
“Wait a minute.”
Cut Ryan and there's still something stuck in his mind.
“The world you made? It's not the developers who made it, huh?”
“Yap... that's absolutely right, but those developers are also just developing and not creating. This world is made of my desire to make a Fantasy world come true and of course everyone can feel it if they agree to enter into this “world””
“Truly troublesome, then..”.
Ryan also grabbed the hand of Elesis that he had just extended to him.
“I can't wait to see what kind of world you created, Elesis. Although I actually hate to admit it if something like this is something I've always wanted to avoid.”
Elesis was shocked to hear the words from Ryan so suddenly. A wide smile was adorned on her beautiful and cool face. Slowly a light began to illuminate Ryan's gaze.
“About that, whatever I said earlier please keep it a secret huh? You see, I was overweight and broke the rules. tehee”.
“Eh ... not tehee ndasmu. Huhhhhh..all right if it's your first and last request”.
“Ehhhh.. evil, that's not my last request. Maybe we'll see you again, Ryan. But, of course in a different place ... maybe you're bored but I'll say it once again.”
Elesis drew deeply and then he quietly took it out.
“Welcome to Nameless Crown, a world in search of a king without a crown, without meaning and without identity. May you be happy in this Little Garden I created.”
Elesis smiled again and Ryan just closed his eyes to reply. It was at that moment that a light swallowed the two of them.
A blinding light engulfed the two of them and once Ryan realized he found Elesis sitting relaxed while leaning his back against a large tree trunk.
Ryan finally woke up. When he was fully aware, he realized that he was in a mountainous area that was not too high. It would be more appropriate to call it the foothills.
With a gust of wind that is quite stagnant, floating in the air and becomes an instrument for the shady grass to dance. Shake to and fro where the wind will caress them.
The weather is quite sunny with not too many clouds in the sky. An ocean-wide blue ocean, surging across space. The scenery is quite ordinary for Ryan who always sees it in his hometown.
As a child he often spent his time playing in the mountains with his childhood friends who were out of nowhere now. Ryan looked at Elesis, apparently still wanting to feel the wind passing through his neck and behind his ears.
His hair was fluttering backwards, so softly, and now Ryan could see Elesis completely clearly. Her hair is gray white with two wide eyes that are bluish purple, fused with dark black.
His right hand was combing his hair, strands by strands so slowly passed by his five fingers. Once aware Elesis also directly down from under the shade of the tree and then glide closer to Ryan who is under it.
Not far away, just that their distance is different. Elesis is at the top of the mountain while Ryan is in the middle of the mountain. He finally arrived beside Ryan who has been looking at the sky and the surrounding area.
“How beautiful isn't it?”
Ryan was immediately stopped when he heard Elesis's subtle voice. And his head now turned to look at the face of a beautiful girl who called herself Elesis.
“Perhaps, this is hardly much different from where I used to live. When as a child I always saw scenes like this, maybe even more soothing.”
Elesis smiled when he heard Ryan's response.
“Now we are in a mountain west on the first floor. Oh... are you still curious about this game system? If it's still there, I'll be happy to answer it.”
Ryan again took a sleeping position, he slept on the mountain slope with a slope of 40 degrees. His left hand he used as a shade umbrella from the faint sunlight while his right hand he placed on his stomach.
“About Skill and also how many floors are there for me to finish this "world"?”
“About that, each Player has a unique skill of each. That skill they get in an easy” way
“Easy?”
“Un ... expertise is obtained based on psychological conditions and the nature they show everyday. Can be in the form of passion, laziness, no matter or others. that expertise can also be used if it has completed some of the conditions that the Player gave to himself”
“Means?”
“Hmm... For example if I am in normal circumstances I will definitely eat, but the terms are reversed so that if I am hungry I have to hold it for a few days until the limit of the terms is determined by myself”
“Wew... apparently terrible as well, is reversed apparently.”.
Elesis nodded slowly.
“There could be about two conditions needed and you, Ryan. You have completed one of its requirements”
“Quickly once”
“Because the first condition is that you enter into ‘world’ ini”
“Haaaa .. deserve it.”
Ryan wakes up and aligns his body with Elesis. Elesis was a little surprised because it was so sudden. Ryan lowered his head and then lifted him back up. His right arm he raised upwards while opening his palm.
After that he squeezed it as if he would have grasped something most precious.
“It looks like it's not as easy as I imagined, then for the floor?”
“Stands from 55 floors, to reach the next floor you must defeat the boss first”
“Hmmm... same as I expected”
“Eitt.. wait a minute, in one floor there is one boss and two pillars that must first be destroyed or defeated, if all that you have managed to do, Ryan. Then automatically the next floor will open”
“Ughh ... really troublesome, then for his Dungeon?”
But Ryan tickled the side of Elesis' stomach to make him laugh because of amused.
“Hahahaha ... R-Ryan .. hahaha, please hen-stop. Tingly tofu”
“Never before you take out the contents of your brain, Elesis.”
Elesis tried to hold him back with all his might but unfortunately he could not hold it any longer.
“All right, I give up.. hahahaha, so please stop”.
“Thanks for the understanding, Ele-sis.”
Ryan's face seemed very satisfied because it managed to make Elesis give up. But Elesis was a little upset about it, his face now looked like an angry little boy. But when looking at the face of Ryan who was staring at the sky with a smile.
His heart was touched and he did not realize despite the time he spent with Ryan for a while, but it made him feel a warm feeling. Both of his hands were clenched and he approached them with his chest.
He could feel his heartbeat even though he was now inside a virtual world. I don't know why he's so comfortable around Ryan. He decided to tell him all the information he knew about the game.
“Alright I will explain everything I know with one condition”
“What is it?”
“Please live.”
At first Ryan did not believe Elesis' words. But when he saw his face that looked very serious, he could see a sense of sadness in both beautiful Elesis eyeballs.
Ryan strengthened his resolve inwardly, nodding. Then a wide smile was seen from Elesis' face that looked calm and also made his heart become impervious.
“Of course.”
Elesis was happy when he heard Ryan's sincere reply.
“Then it was about Dungeon, huh?”
“Iya, so?”
“For the Dungeon itself, the location of the place is in special areas. For example, in volcanoes, deadly valleys, mysterious swamps or in rainbow lakes that really cannot be reached alone. Inside the Dungeon was a precious treasure based on three levels of.”
Elesis enthusiastically explained about the dungeon while Ryan looked at it with a serious look and sometimes made Elesis nervous, but he continued his explanation before the farewell time came.
“The first one is Rare in this level all the statuses will be at different levels. The second is Unique combination between Normal and Rare. And lastly is Ancient at this level all status will be improved drastically and get at least three to four additional abillity”
“Hmmm... seems pretty decent too, is there any more?”
“Two weapons with the lowest level can be obtained by defeating the floor boss. As for the last two, Legend and Phantasm were obtained from the Secret Dungeon”
“Is the treasure always a weapon?”
“Hmmm... actually depends on the level of luck, it could be Equipment or Costume.”
But there's still one question that really stuck Ryan's mind. Will the house be safe? He also worried that the Samurai might claw at his sofa and mattress if hungry.
“About my home is it safe? What about my pet?”
“About it they have all been taken care of by the company ‘kami’”
“My feelings don't seem to taste good”
“I guarantee 100% deh”
“But if anything gets scuffed I'm holding the answer, yes.”
Ryan giggled to himself while Elesis' face became stiff and a little shocked. When he saw his face laughing, he made the girl think it was just a joke.
“Basic, your joke was unpleasant know.”
Elesis crossed both hands while avoiding Ryan's gaze.
“If life was already cruel especially because of the compulsion that requires me to be in this ‘world’, if I was still in the real world maybe I would be more crazy than this .. hahaha”
“Hmmm .. next time don't be like that again yes, Ryan,” said Elesis while bringing his sweet face closer to the front of Ryan's face.
He saw the innocence that appeared on Ryan's face and over time he was ashamed of himself so that he moved away while covering his face.
“Elesis?”
“What?”
“Am I the only one getting information like this? Meaning direct explanation from you”
“Actually I was just a hologram sent to every Player, all the Players who follow this come from all over the world. If I accumulate all the players that follow this game, maybe about 20 million players who are in this "world", Ryan”
“HEHHH!?. I did not expect it to be this much, but if you were a hologram why did I touch you and your real body where?”
“I told you earlier there were some additional reports and this is one of them. You can touch the hologram but can't kill or exterminate it”
“Sophisticated amet”
“Hehehehe .. of course.”
Elesis' body began to fade like a bunch of ants that were entering the nest. As well as issuing a whisper that is similar to rustling leaves.
“It seems I have to go first—“
“About the name, was the Avatar setting time I did not see the name bar? So what's the name of this Avatar?” cut Ryan fast.
“Same as your real name, but only the first name only. Then hopefully we meet again, Ryan”.
“Ehh..”.
Elesis instantly disappeared and his body made of holograms ran aground in the wind.
“Then now what should I do? Ah ... I have to see my status first, but how?”
Ryan began looking for ways such as focusing himself to bring up a panel of captions. But it did not work, he tried various ways until finally thought to touch the wind.
With the touch of the index finger and middle finger with the male. A panel suddenly appeared, it seemed transparent and could only be seen by itself.
It is white with blue cyan stripes. There are several options, namely the first option of status, the second is Equipment, the third is Quest, the fourth is Map and the fifth at once the last is log out.
Ryan tried to touch the Log Out option but a red cross and a lock padlock suddenly appeared. It seems that it can not be at all and then he immediately drag the map on the right side of his view.
An open scroll is now displayed at Ryan's right-hand viewpoint. Right on the top end. Then he touched on the status option slowly .. whuss.
“Hmmm..”

"Many as well."
Upon seeing the status of his own, suddenly a light appeared on his screen flickering right in the bottom corner of his right. Shaped like a post box, Ryan touched it once quietly. A bubble pops up and a message appears in front of Ryan.
In the form of a panel with the same subject, None, the message is ...
[Welcome to the Small Garden, you—para Player is free to explore this Little Garden as much as possible. But remember the time you spend here is only Fana, because your body has been frozen into this game system, then greetings of peace]
Ryan could only sigh when he read the message.
“What's a Small Garden?”
