It wasn't long until everyone finished signing the papers. The liability form was a cynical joke, preventing Anko and the Leaf Village from being held accountable for any deaths. The teams were then distributed scrolls. The scroll Arthur's team received was black. When this was done, each team was ushered toward their designated gate. Arthur's was Gate 30. "Like we discussed," his scarred teammate said, "we'll stay together while I hold the scroll and…" Whatever he was mumbling, Arthur honestly…-

The beatdown was short-lived. From their undisclosed location, Arthur had slain both of them with just one kunai. They were seasoned Genin, but they weren't on his level. And with the element of surprise, defeating them was child's play. After burying their bodies, he used his Crimson Gaze to scan the forest. Team 10 couldn't have gotten too far. Chakra signatures raced across his vision's range as he searched across the landscape. Then, three familiar signatures caught his eye: Ino, Shikamaru,…

The canopy of the forest pressed down on Arthur as he navigated the dense undergrowth. He soon emerged into a clearing until suddenly, a figure emerged within his sensing range. He couldn't help but wonder what this person was doing all the way out here. To understand, he allowed the person to come toward his direction. "Arthur?" William said, appearing through the leaves. "Will… What are you doing out here?" "Actually," William said, scratching the back of his head, "this isn't exactly me.…

The year is 2026, Solvang, California. Sunlight radiated through the windows of the Elysium headquarters. In its cool stillness, rows of metallic pods lined the floor. Elysium is a virtual reality laboratory. Founded by a business magnate named Ursula Von Der Leyen III, they cracked the code on full sensory immersion. Furthermore, they achieved total sensory integration with their "Elysian Enclave" that promised a full-body experience where the virtual felt real. The previous model, the Enclave…

Dr. Kapoor finally entered the room with a smile a little less practiced this time. "It looks like you're all done," she announced. "Then shall we proceed?" The room fell silent as the weight of the moment settled in. Arthur glanced around the group to see everyone's expressions. He saw interest in Alexander's eyes, skepticism from Jada's, and a slight arrogance from Jasper's. Alice herself seemed bored, Campbell was impatient, and William was perhaps enigmatic. Arthur, whose curiosity was piqued…

Arthur blinked against the blinding darkness until everything in his vision turned white. The pod he'd been in moments ago was gone, replaced by an all-white room devoid of any features except a floor beneath his feet. He was sure he wasn't outside, yet he could feel cold air permeating the void. This was it. He was inside an authentic virtual world. While things seemed exciting, he felt a tad weary of things. Something that Dr. Kapoor had said, but he couldn't remember right now, nagged at his…

"Clan-less" seemed like a bleak prospect, offering no special abilities or starting bonuses. And the description of it was downright appalling: zero money, orphan status, and average chakra reserves. Plus, the player wouldn't start out in the Leaf Village. No wonder it was the only option left; it was a slap in the face compared to the advantages the other characters provided. Amidst the bleakness of the cons, there was only one pro: support techniques are easier to learn. Such techniques are…

Arthur jolted awake as the world came into a slow focus. His head pounded, and he tasted dried copper in his mouth. Cold, damp stone pressed against his lower body. A single torch cast long shadows across a cramped cell. He was in prison. Disorientation gave way to a crushing sense of dread. He couldn't tell how long he had been unconscious. He tried to rise, but a surge of panic overtook him as he felt the weight of heavy chains that bound him to the floor. This was bad. Very bad. Every muscle…

With Arthur's senses renewed, he could now hear a muffled conversation from behind the door. It was the guard. "They finally found a buyer for one of the slaves… Two days, that's what they said. Less work for us, eh?" A buyer? If Arthur was this supposed slave, there was only one explanation for things: they were going to sell him to someone random in two days. Rather than panic, he began to think, 'Two days… I have two days left.' The situation was far from ideal, but that amount of time…

Two days later. After his training, Arthur got up without any pain or aches. He had pushed himself to the limit every time, only to cause his body to bounce back right away. He was doing well. Throughout those two days, he had learned how to walk on vertical surfaces and also picked up two basic skills: the transformation jutsu and the high-speed movement technique. The former enabled him to adopt the physical characteristics of another character, animal, or object. Although helpful, its…
