Hi!
So this is a side-story that happens in the same world as 3.0 and 3.1 and isn't essential to the story, I wanted something a bit less heavy and dangerous than Kagome and Yuusuke's stories, and somehow this has written itself in the past few days...


Intro

Year 21xx
Tsukiko stretched and stepped into the teleporter.
If there was one thing she really appreciated about the technological progress that had been made in the last few decades, faster travel was it. While the magical world did have portals set between most of the major hubs, the mundane world had placed their own teleporters between nearly all cities around the world. With her duties taking her around the world, it meant far less time spent traveling...
"Welcome to T City, Taishou diàn xià."
Tsukiko answered the greetings, noting that the official must have been part of the magical world – while she was well respected in the mundane world too, only the magical beings called her princess.

It was her first visit to the city, but since her family had been sponsoring the natural park that was opening, she had been asked to represent the House of Moon to the ceremony – and of course, like always when she was on the continent, she could feel that Ryu was already on his way.
The dragon had already enjoyed spending time with her when she'd simply been his treasure – but now that they shared a bond as Sky and guardian, he spent as much time with her as their respective duties allowed.
This was of course true of all of her guardians – the link before Sky and elements was one as profound as a pack-bond after all.
But what she hadn't expected, when entering the city, was for familiar green words to lit her vision...

[New Grimoire entry: Destiny shades

All heroes don't have the same struggle ahead, I'm sure you've noticed.
While the road they travel is never easy, some may have to face more difficulties than others.
Light Destinies are when a heroes has few chance to fail on his path, and the consequences are manageable.
Grey Destinies are for heroes that will have quite a bit of struggle ahead, and whose failure would impact their world in a clearly negative way.
Dark Destinies are when the chances of success of a hero are dim, and the consequences to follow drastic for their world.]

[New life Quest! A New Champion...
Goal: Enter Second Life
Reward: +10 000 XP per goal, +1 item-leveling token upon completion]

Tsukiko eyed the update, an eyebrow raised – clearly Fate had directly hijacked Chaos' System to sent her message this time. With a shrug, she took her phone out. By the time she arrived at the House of Moon mansion in the country, she already had a game-set ready to use waiting for her, the diamond logo of the District-approved electronics on the gear proving it wouldn't short-circuit simply by being in direct contact with her you and reiki.

"Welcome to Second Life!" a cute dark red haired girl announced enthusiastically – then the smile was replaced by surprise "What the..."
"I'm an omega waves case."
"Omega... Oh right! I've been briefed on this!" the girl nodded "Talk about a day! Our first player ever was a girl who wanted to be a guy, and now my first omega case ever!"
The omega wave was the explanation the magical world across the world had chosen since the newest technology had started to play with the mind itself – because illusions could hide real appearances in the real life, but when it came to the mind it was very different.

So Tsukiko stood with long white hair, golden eyes, nine tails waving in her back and all soul mark visible.
The girl was looking rather excited at the idea of working with omega case, and made a plethora of avatars spawn around them, all of them representing the Moon Hime under the traits of some of the numerous races available in the game.
"Can I look younger?"
"Sure, about how old?"
Tsukiko held out a hand.

"Why would you want to change a perfect appearance with a child body?" the other protested immediately
"For fun of course." Tsukiko winked "Plus imagine the frustration of big bad warriors when then get owned by a little girl."
"Oh... Sneaky and cruel, I like that! What name would you like?"
Before letting the ookami go, the girl that was helping her with the character creation reminded her that the game didn't allow re-roll and that the current character creation was permanent.
Finally, the white haired, emerald green eyes, nine-tailed and fox eared child was ready to go.

"So, where do you want to spawn?"
"Mmm... Where did that girl that decided to be a guy go?"
"Er, Prince? Why would you ask?"
"Well, she seems like someone interesting." Tsukiko shrugged
"Alright, who knows, maybe we'll see each other online then, I plan to drop and see her too!" the GM nodded "To Central Continent it is, then!"
