VR Combat System
The six teenagers spent a few months in Aranea blissfully. (In every world, one month is 28 days). They took on mini jobs, got nice meals, had nice baths, had nice sleep... It was heaven to them.
Loki was finishing of his water as his screen flashed.

[770/1000 Xp]
Loki was now at Level 7, and had unlocked a new skill, 'Telekinesis'. This meant that he could move objects with his mind, as long as they weren't to big or heavy. Loki's health was 35/35, Stamina was 12/12, Agility was 11/11, Strength was 12/12, and Speed was 11/11. Loki had been training himself with the VR combat, Daphne and Terrence helping out. He was much stronger now, and his friends (Saltavore and Nishan had admitted that he thought of them as friends one night when they was drunk) were all happy. Loki always felt like he was forgetting something, but every time he tried to remember what it was, he got a headache and the memory would slip out of his grasp again.
"Loki?" Daphne walked up to him. "You okay?"
"Yeah," Loki rubbed his head. "I think so. I just keep feeling like I'm forgetting something."
"I know what you mean," Daphne sighed. "It's like I know there is this thing I'm forgetting, but I can never remember what that memory is. The twins and my cousins had said the same thing." She nudged Loki. "Come on. Let's go do some training."
He and Daphne walked down to the underground gym.
"Come on," Daphne picked up one of the VR combat machines. "No slacking off now! Let's get to work!"
Loki picked up one of the VR headsets and put them on. Once he turned on the game, he was transported to a world of virtual reality.
{Hello, UltimateSystem. Would you like to start the game?}
"Yes please," Loki said. "I would like to battle with WarriorQueen0811."
His surrounding changed into an arena, and Daphne was standing there as well.
"You know you should start playing with other players, right?" Daphne teased as she geared up.
"Yeah, but I want to be able to beat you before I battle anyone else," Loki said. "Are we fighting with weapons or fist today?"
"Let's go with fist today," Daphne grinned. "You need to polish up on your skills."
{Ready? 3... 2... 1... Begin!}
Daphne quickly ran at Loki, Loki barely jumping aside. Daphne threw a quick punch, Loki ducking under her arm and sweeping his leg under her, knocking her off balance. Using Daphne's moment of unbalance to his advantage, he grabbed her arm and flipped her over his shoulder.
"Oof," Daphne grunted as her back hit the ground. "I'm so glad that whatever happens in this VR combat doesn't affect our actual state in real life."
"Are you going to surrender or not?" Loki pushed her harder against the virtual floor.
"Ugh," Daphne groaned. "Fine, fine, I surrender, but don't think this is going to happen often."
Loki smiled, letting her go, just as his screen flashed.

"Daphne!" Loki said in surprise. "I just got an extra 20 Xp by defeating you!"
"Really?" Daphne looked intrigued. "Do you think you can add Xp by defeating other opponents in this VR combat game?"
"I don't know, but I'm going to try it!" Loki jumped excitedly. "Imagine if I knew could have added my Xp like that. This is a game changer!"
"What are you waiting for?" Daphne pushed him lightly. "Go fight with some random people! I'll join you in spectating mode!"
"I would like to go for Random Battles with anyone who is Level 1."
{Random Battle being assigned: Player found}
{UltimateSystem will be going up against Pro_Gamer}
Loki was brought to another arena. Pro_Gamer wasn't there, so he decided to do a quick change.
"I would like to change my style, please."
{Closet has been opened}
Loki quickly chose a black outfit with a mask so that Pro_Gamer wouldn't see what he really looked like in reality.
Just as he finished, another girl materialized in the arena.
"Hello," she said. "Are you UltimateSystem? I am going to use a weapon. What about you?"
"Yes, I'm UltimateSystem," Loki answered. "I'm going to use an Ability."
The girl decided on a sword, and Loki selected the Telekinesis Ability.
In the VR system, if you wanted to fight with an Ability, you could choose any Ability that is known to exist in the world. This is so that you could practice your own Abilities, or like people with the Ability Copycat, could practice all sorts of Abilities. You could also level up the Abilities. When you defeat someone, you add Xp (only for the VR system).
{Ready? 3... 2... 1... Begin!}
The girl charged with the sword, but Loki quickly dodged her, using his Telekinesis Ability to rip the sword out of her hand and point it at her neck.
"You lose," Loki wasn't even winded.
"Nice one," The girl grinned. "You aren't half bad. Accept my friend request?"
{Pro_Gamer has sent you a friend request}
"Accept," Loki said.
{Pro_Gamer is now your friend.}
The girl waved. "I hope to fight you again someday, UltimateSystem." She disappeared from the Arena as Loki looked at his screen hopefully.

"Yes!" Loki pumped his fist in the air. "I get 20 Xp every time I defeat someone!"
"That's great!" Loki startled as he realized that Daphne was at the side stands. "Now you have a fast way to level up!"
"Geez, don't scare the hell out of me," Loki grumbled.
"You should go fight more people!" Daphne bounced up and down. "Not only will you get better in your Ability and combat, you'll also gain Xp!"
"Get better in Ability and combat," Loki hummed. "I feel like I remember somewhere where we used to get better in those things."
Daphne shrugged. "We'll think about that later. Right now, let's get your level to go up."
As Loki went around to up his level, he noticed that a few of the players were from Earth.
'Where is Earth again?' He thought to himself. He shook his head. "I'm going to forget about it and just level up for now.' With absolutely no memory of where he once came from, he started a new battle with a grin on his face.
