"Huh?" I asked myself looking where i was. Which was basically darkness because there was nothing. "Did i die?" Memories of what happened before this came back to me.

I was laying in my room playing videogames. My parents came in and started talking about how my grades were dropping. They scolded me by saying i was lazy and if i kept this up, i wouldnt go anywhere in life. In a fit of rage, i said some pretty nasty things to them and ran out the door. After running for a while, i walked back, feeling guilty. They were my parents and they were just worried about me. Unfortunately, when i got back, our house was on fire. I ran towards the house blindly, trying to save them. The firemen tried to stop me, but i evaded them na ran inside. I see or breath in there, so it was a matter of time before i blacked out, but not before seeing a large pillar of flamin wood going straight towards my face.

"So i died. And this is probably hell." I sighed. "Its not like i didnt deserve this, but i was hoping hell wasnt a freaking void!"

Before i could continue talking myself like a lunatic, a bright light filled my vision. On instinct, i covered my eyes. When the light died down, i was to look at what caused it. In front of me was a screen saying 'Choose your New Life'.

"What the hell?" I said. "What is this?"

As i looked closer to the screen, there was something else on screen. Categories. Books,Videogames, TV Shows, Anime, Comics, Movies and much more. Me, being the gaming fan boy that i am, touched the Gaming category. The other categories disappeared and a list appeared before me. I gave it a quick spin and noticed some familiar names like Final Fantasy or Pokemon since they had the most amount of names.

"Hmm?" I scratched my chin in thought. "So apparently i can choose a new world for me to reincarnate in. But which one? Well there was this recente game i bought that i just finished and it would be nice to be in that world." I said as i passed through the list as i arrived where i wanted.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

I pressed it and the screen disappeared.

Then the whole void was filled with light, blinding me.

My eyes opened slowly as they adjusted to the light of the room.

"Was it a dream?" I thought while taking my surroudings. I was in a room, but definitely not mine. The halls and the floor were made out of wood opposed to the normal type of walls you see nowadays. I was laying in a bed without my shirt on. Before i could look around any further, the door to the room opened and an elderly woman entered.

"Oh thank god you are awake!" She said smiling. She had a protective aura around her, like i could tell her everything.

"How did i get here?" I asked.

"We found you passed out in the beach right outside the village. You were wet so we assumed the waves brought you here."

"Oh. Thank you for helping me." I nodded to her.

"Oh dont thank me. Thank Rex for finding you." She said.

I froze. Rex. I thought. "If its alright with you miss, can i talk to this Rex fella? I would like to thank him in person."

The woman nodded "Of course, dear. But call me Corrine." With that she left.

Corrine. Another familiar name. Did i really get transported into the world of Xenoblade? I thought. Not long after that, the door opened and Corrine came back along with a small child, no older than 12 years old. At first, it didnt seem like him, but that hair and those golden eyes cant lie.

In front of me was none other than Rex.

Rex smiled at me. "THank god you are awake. I was so scared when i found you in the beach." He said, sighing in relief.

"Well thank you Rex, i honestly dont know how i got there, but thank you for saving a total stranger." I thanked him.

"Well, i cant possibly leave someone when they need help!" Rex pouted at me.

Me and Corrine chuckled. Even at that age, he is still kind. I got up and streched my limbs, a few popping sounds being heard.

"By the way, what is your name? Mine is Rex, as you know." Rex asked me while he put hsi hand out.~

I took his hand shook it. "My name is Raiden." I said.

A few years have passed since i got in this world. I stayed at Fonsett for the first year trying to figure out what to do with my life. The plot only started 5 years later, so i could relax a little bit as well. I thought on what to do: should i join one of the armies, like Uraya or Mor Adain? I couldnt because i could potentially be away from the plot itself or i could die at the hands of Torna if i get a big reputation. Im not crazy enough to fight Jin with a pistol! I wasnt going to settle down in a Titan because thats not what i came here for. Then i realized something. With my knowledge of the game, i could save people that died in the game like Vandham or Haze. But for that to happen, i needed to be as close to the plot as possible. Which meant one thing.

I had to become the Aegis Driver.

Now dont get me wrong, Rex is a great protagonist, but i dont want him to get mixed up in this mess. The game might goa bit different now that im here, so i dont know if he might die.

So, for the remainder of my stay in Fonsett, i learned the basics on how to become a salvager. The type of gear, how the the Cloud Sea works. Like i said. The basics.

I was pretty sad to leave Rex and the others. That kid can make the cutest pouts and puppy eyes. I can see why he got such an harém. So i made him a promise that we will meet again. That made him happy again as he watched me leave the village. I decided that i should try and learn what i can about salvaging besides the basics before actually trying and finding Pyra. Luckily, a ship of salvagers was at the docks so i just took a ride and learned what i could. After 2 years, i was able to become a salvager on my own. And now…

"Fucking finally…" I said. "Alrest is HUGE! I think i only covered like 20% in these two years!" I yelled. I spent the last two years searching for the ship and finally i found it.

I was in a Titan ship that i bought for myself. I needed a place to stay and a moving house is always nice. It wasnt anything fancy. Just a hut that i can sleep in and an anchor for when i salvage something big.

Now you may be wondering how im going to get to the ship if it took a team of salvagers to get it to the surface. Its simple really. I remembered how they did it, using some cylinders to make them float. By grabbing one of them and after a few attempts (and almost getting my head blown off a few times…), i was able to create this.

It was a small tube that was the size of my two hands, but the real trick was when it was placed. It expanded and created a small and really tight hole that you could crawl through. The entrace is the hard to enter since it needs to be almost closed or it will flood, but if you put your whole body in there, you are safe to go. The other end has a small lighter that makes circle around the area it contacts with and closes it with a special formula that instantly turns solid after contact with the cloud underwater, which i found out is not water but rather a mass of clouds that makes it look like water.

"It took me a while, but i finally got here. Better get my salvager suit." I started to puto n my suit, which was like Rex, only dark red. The helmet made it hard to breath, but you had na oxygen tank for a reason.

"Theres only thing left to say before i jump…" i said as i started running towards the edge of the ship. "LEEEEEEROY JENKINS!" Was the last words i said before diving into the cloud sea.

It took a few minutes in order to reach the ship. Going by memory, i placed the tube where i believe is where Pyra is sleeping. After i got some distance, i pressed a button on the side of my suit and the tube expanded. I went to one of the ends and started slowing entering. First my arms, then my upper body and then my lower body until i was completely in it. I started crawling through the tube until i came out the other side.

I landed with a thud on the ground looking where i entered. The small entrance suddendly disappeared, but was quickly filled with a grey are, covering the hole.

After checking to see if it was sturdy enough because you can never bee too careful, i walked towards the entrance of the room.

I saw a familiar red sword. "This is your first time meeting me, but i have seen you so many times…" I looked at the pillar in the middle of the room and at the person sleeping inside.

"…Pyra."
