Chapter Text
It's the dead of night, the only ones awake at this time are students finishing up assignments due in a couple of hours for their next class, people heading home from graveyard shifts at work, extroverts having the time of their lives and, of course, gamers. Kazuyo Megumi was a part of the later. She situated herself at her desk to play the new PC game that came out recently, HQuest!!. Your typical fantasy-adventure RPG that was viewed as an indie game with many comments raving about how immersive the game was despite it not being a VR game. Within a few clicks, the game is loaded. The screen goes black and white letters appear one-by-one on the screen as if they are being typed.
ARE YOU READY?
[YES] [NO]
Megumi doesn't think twice when she moved the cursor over the 'yes' option. Once again the white letters appear as though they're being typed.
ARE YOU SURE? YOU WILL BE THROWN INTO A WORLD FULL OF ADVENTURE, OLD SPELLS, AND WICKED KINGS.

[YES] [NO]
Megumi adjusted her legs onto her chair, “I’d prefer that over reality any day.”
She mumbled as she clicked 'yes' once again. She watched as the screen flashed to the title screen.

Megumi had found it slightly amusing that all of them had horns with the exception of the knight.
WELCOME TO HQUE
“Eh? What happened?” Megumi questioned as she stared at the title that froze midway. She turned away from the computer screen to check the gaming tower and got off of her chair. The screen went black once again. However, ripples started to come from the center of the screen, a hand soon appearing and coming out of the screen. She was still relatively confused, her tower was still working, she went to place her hand on the desk in front of her keyboard but completely missed. "Fuck!" She cursed, knowing that her balance and reaction time is bad and she won't be able to stop herself from falling on her computer. She watched as her room became a blur but quickly become dark. "What?" Megumi looked around as she continued to fall backwards. She noticed a figure above her in a red cloak, appearing to be floating. Before Megumi blacked out she heard a faint voice,
“Well that just made my job easier.”
