Gelion, Kingdom of Kalvar,

"Ouch! it literally hurt. Why you dropped me off your buddy?" cried Antonio as he landed on the hard ground in the middle of the city of Gelion.

"What?! don't tell me that you didn't even turn off pain meter." teased Luke.

"It isn't funny, Luke," exclaimed Antonio.

"Okay Okay, I am sorry." apologized Luke.

"It's fine. Didn't fall from too far or I would have got hurt much more.

"My My! If it isn't the last Dragon Knight." came a soft voice that interrupted the conversation between Antonio and Luke.

Antonio turned back to see a male of around twenties standing in front of him. He was adorned with an ocean blue full plate armor. A long silver spear was sheathed behind him. His eyes were in a shade of golden which matched with his long blonde hair. His beauty could par with the deities from the mythologies. He was in short a handsome young man.

"You must be Leon if I am right?" asked Antonio

"That indeed I am. My name is Leon Knight and I am the first Dragon Knight. Also, I am one of the few who got the chance to Beta test this game and I am also the Leader of Helgan Leaf, the most influential clan in all of Kalvar" replied Leon.

"That's great. But, if you are going to offer me to join your clan, then, I apologize since I want to create my own clan," said Antonio.

"Oh, I am not here to forcefully get you into my clan. Instead, I would help you in establishing one. What we are going to discuss in this council is much more of importance than clan recruitment." assured Leon.

"Are you guys planning to discuss everything right here then, demolish that hall you made for this council." teased Luke before he went inside the small one-story building that stood behind them.

Antonio and Leon laughed at the comment Luke made and rushed inside the building through the small wooden door. As soon as Antonio entered the building, he was astonished to witness the great hall before him. The walls were adorned with paintings of different creatures and in the middle stood a huge table around which people were sitting on stone chairs. Leon guided Antonio to his seat and went to the top to take his seat beside Luke.

"I, Leon Knight, Welcome all the fellow Dragon Knights to the first council. Today, I and my dearest friend Luke is present before you all to tell you some important news which you should know before traveling through this new world," announced Leon while standing up.

"What you want to tell us which is more important than the quest I was on?" questioned a male Dragon Knight who sat in the corner.

"Good question, Third Dragon Knight. Your life is more important than a Quest. We both got a list of how many times you all have died or slain a player." answered Luke after standing up from his seat.

"As I was saying. There are only ten Dragon Knights in this whole world and this makes us unique and separates us from the normal players. First of all, the people present here could not [LOG OUT] of this game. Secondly, You would die in the real world if you die here." explained Leon.

"How could you tell us that horrible information with such ease?" yelled a female Dragon Knight who was sitting beside Antonio.

"I can because I have accepted this. There is the only way to get out and that is to Survive, also, You have a life force which would tell you how many times you could die and revive," said Leon maintaining his calm composer.

"The life force increases by one whenever you slay a fellow player but, it should be in a duel and also if you kill anyone outside it would decrease your life force by two and the person you killed would have his or her life force activated," explained Luke.

"How would we know the life force we currently own?" questioned Antonio while sitting in his place.

"Well, we have an instrument for this. It is called Life Force Detector. This instrument would let you see your Lifeforce if it is activated. Once, the Life Force is activated, you cannot Log Out of this world. Also, only we all have our life force activated from the very beginning." answered Leon and took out a cylindrical device from his leather pouch which hung loosely at his torso.

Leon signaled all the Dragon Knights to press the small red button on the device and pass the device to the others once done. All of them pressed the red button and passed the device to the person sitting beside them. When Antonio passed the red button, He felt a bit different than before. His head ached and suddenly a robotic voice boomed in his head.

"My head is aching, What you did with this device?" growled Antonio and threw the device back to Leon.

"Calm down, Last Dragon Knight. This device contained eight small worms called Core. It was invented by one of my friends and this Core works like a parasite but it won't harm your body. Also, this parasite is a type of system which is implanted inside you. It takes some time to adjust to your body." assured Leon.

"Okay, I guess, We all trust you." agreed everyone in unison.

After struggling for some time, Antonio and other Dragon Knight's felt as good as new. Leon and Luke took out a few sheets and distributed it to the other Dragon Knights. Antonio carefully read the first line which read, AGREEMENT. He immediately stood up and started to leave.

"Antonio Vanguard, You don't have to worry about this agreement. This is an agreement for the fair use of the system we provided you. This system would keep you alive throughout this World until we together find a way to get out." assured Luke.

"The terms are reasonable. The first rule says You all won't kill any player without any valid reason or we would have to hunt you down. The second rule says we would provide you with new equipment and currency to support yourself. The third rule says, You would always be in alliance with the clan of Helgan Leaf and you are free to do anything." explained Leon

Antonio came back to his seat and read the whole paper carefully before signing it. All the other Dragon Knights also signed after hearing to the words of Leon. A few who didn't want to get into this were also forced to sign as they wanted to live. After this, Leon and Luke gave the Dragon Knights their new equipment which included, A full plate Armor, A weapon and survival kits. They also provide each Dragon Knight with an amount of two thousand Temin.

After everyone left, Antonio secretly got another three thousand Temin since he had earlier mentioned that he would be creating a Clan. Leon also promised him to provide with a few trusted members for the initial stage. But, he also said that Antonio must capture a city on his own which is at war and make it their base.

Antonio left the city of Gelion after bidding his farewell to his new friends. He looked ahead to reach the stronghold of Helgan Leaf which was just a mile away and there he would meet another bunch of friends who would help in establishing his new clan. Antonio already had a name in his mind for his new clan, [Lunar Dynasty].
