The Beginning

Jihoon and his team arrived in what looked like an abandon house. Opening the house, it was the opposite of what it looked like outside. It was well furnished and everything was working.

"Woahhh." Jihoon said as he examined the inside of the house.

"This is where we will be staying until the game fully overlaps with our world." Taeil explained, getting nods from everyone.

They went individually in their own ways, Woonggi and Lein shared a room, as well as Somi and Alex. While Jihoon was walking towards a room, he turned his back and saw Taeil leaving the house.

Jihoon entered the room with two beds, bathroom and a window.

"This is much better than my previous house." Jihoon though, putting down his bag near his bed. He laid there and stared at the ceiling, with everything happening, he slowly forgot about what his life was before finding The Loop without even realizing it.

Lost in thought, Taeil entered the room and Jihoon wasn't even bothered by his presence. "He's thinking like me." Taeil thought because he always have that face whenever his thinking very deeply.

"How are you Jihoon?" Taeil asked as he sat next to Jihoon. Snapping back into reality, Jihoon finally realized that Taeil has arrived.

"Uh yeah! I think I'm doing good?" Jihoon was doubtful with his answer. Taeil thought for a second about what he was going to say.

"The Ancestors of the real world saw a vision once. The world they are living will overlap with a different world, and something magical would happen, but that's what they thought." Taeil started explaining about the history of The Loop.

"As time evolved, and the society changed. There is something that will change one way or another. That's where the Ancestors thought wrong about something magical would happen."

"As society advanced, people have advanced as well. Not just for the best, but for the worst as well. They became more violent, more hurtful and less pure."

"Bad intentions are part of a person, which balanced out the Good intentions. But sometimes, the bad intentions outweigh the other. And that's how the magic our Ancestors thought of has faded away."

"And now in our realty, our loop, it will get destroyed because of those bad intentions. It's a metaphor on how we always looks on the bright side, there will always be something bad that is bound to happen sooner or later." Taeil sighed.

"But what if we keep looking on the bright side?" Jihoon commented. Taeil looked at him.

"Wouldn't that help something? If we always look on the bright side, could we prevent this from happening?" Jihoon was certain with his idea.

"But we couldn't always play blind, could we?" Taeil was skeptical with Jihoon's idea. He understand where he's coming from, but that's something not everyone could do, even Taeil admits he couldn't always look on the bright side.

Jihoon sighed, understanding what Taeil was saying. The two of them have different views of this topic, but strangely, there's something deep inside them that they want to say but they couldn't.

"Dinner's ready!" Somi shouted from outside.

"Let's eat." Taeil stood up as he exited the room, Jihoon followed them and went to the dining area to eat.

The six of them had fun eating, they were talking about random things. After finishing eating, Alex and Lein eturn to their rooms while Woonggi and Somi were washing the dishes.

Taeil went outside the house to breath some fresh air. The scenery was stunning as the stars and the moon illuminated the whole field. The cold breeze made Taeil shiver a little.

"Do you have something in mind?" A voice spoke at the back of Taeil. He nodded his head.

"When The Loop was created, our grandparents decided to create a Trio of the strongest players. And that's how the Legendary three began... They dedicated their lives to create a maxed out character." Jihoon was listening to Taeil.

"When they passed away, our parents, our uncle and aunts, they were given the accounts and continued their legacy. But during their time, it was when we found out about how our two worlds will overlap with each other."

"We made hypothesis about whether this will be good or bad, but we always got the bad one. We decided to prepare for this overlapping and, we actually got it right. I hope nothing bad is going to-" Taeil couldn't even finish his sentence when he saw something walking from the distance.

"What the heck is that." Jihoon was terrified, his fingers trembling when he saw something walking towards them.

"Tell the others Jihoon! RUN!" Jihoon was frantically running back to the house. Afraid of what he saw, he was still trembling.

"EVERYONE! Something is coming, and it isn't very great!" He yelled. The doors opened wide and they were now prepared. They ran outside of the house to see not one, not five, but more than a dozen of creatures.

"What are those." Alex was disgusted because of what she saw.

"Those are the Monsters we have terminated while playing the game. For some reason, they merged with each other and they now look like something that shouldn't exist." Taeil explained.

"Let's get this over with." Lein was annoyed after seeing those creatures.

"I guess this is your training?" Woonggi joked. They chuckled a little and immediately went back to being serious.

"Let's fight them shall we." Somi was excited for the battle since she hasn't fought with any creatures for months.

All of them dashed through the monsters and easily slicing them in half. Using their different abilities, they used this to their advantages. In a matter of minutes, all of the creatures were easily beaten.

"Well that was easy." Alex made a sigh of relief.

"Uhh... Guys." Jihoon's voice cracked. Everyone turned around to see the creatures body morphing into a giant one.

"I spoke to soon!" Alex shouted while running away from the creature.

"How can we beat that? Do you know what that is?!" Lein was concerned on how they will beat the giant creature.

"I think I might know what that is." A familiar voice spoke from behind the trees.
