Chapter Text
So this is Pretentious I know, but never did I think my life would be that straight out of a manga.
Hey, My name is Lillith Jaide Nightingale. or It was. now I go by Laeticia Tenshi, ever since the day My family and close friends found ourselves separated in the world of my favorite MMORPG. I was A Vtuber known as OkumaJaide. Now Im a Scholar, Samurai, Ninja, and Dark Knight. at least those are the Soul Crystals I use the most of. I have them all, and I was just getting into the new Expansion Dawn Trail one day with my Free Company, and closest friends, after a day of gaming. Lets start with how it began.
----------------------------------------------
We see a black haired Transwoman, sitting at her Desk, laughing with a group of friends on a popular voice chat software, known as Discord. "Wow Guys, Viper is Super fun. Sucks that we couldn't get to experience it, before they patched it. But whatever. Is Picto any good."
A couple voices mostly masculine give a chorus of affirmations towards the class.
A deeper voiced male responds "Hopefully the story gets more engaging. I mean I know we're not that far into it, yet."
"Yeah, I know what you mean bro, Im only a few quests in though so Here's hoping. did get Viper to Ninety while I was waiting for everyone's schedules to line up. Having a lot of fun, Scholar's already level 92 though, so thats a good thing right?" Spoke our Black haired protagonist.
A deep male voice one sounding fit for radio spoke up next. "I'm just glad we all found time to play together again. But, its about time I go to bed, got work in the morning."
Off to the distance a womans voice spoke out and a voice of a child bantering. before the Voice of our protagonist spoke "Yeah, I gotta put my little one to bed, so Afternoon tomorrow guys?"
A chorus of affirmations rang out before unknown to Lillith at the time a blinding light appeared on all of their screens.
Her World became black and cold, she heard the words that began the story of her game, as the Voice of Hydalen rang out. "Hear... Feel..... Think...."
She opened her eyes and there she saw it. The Mother Crystal. as well as. Two Miqo’te's one holding a child. A male Elezen, a couple of Hyurs one being a highlander, the other being armored hiding the apparent sex,one she can't exactly perceive, well its not a lalafell. and a Heavily Armored Au-Ra, larger in statue. Superimposed on each Image is the Astral vestiges of her friends, her wife, and her three year old. She reached out to hold the hands of her Best Friend, and her wife as the Mother crystal explained what was going on to all of them.
"Children, I have Brought you here, some not expected." Obviously she meant Lillith's Wife and Child, who didn't play Final Fantasy XIV. "To become the saviors of Eorzea. For the Realm is in turmoil. you who are Well versed in events that are coming, have been brought into the world to prevent it from happening, I have granted you all your gear, your Personal Soul Crystals. However, due to accidentally dragging a few more souls than I wished, I can only grant you a Fraction of your power." The ones who Play figure that means they will. be roughly level 60 or 70 to make up for the two new people. This still makes them strong enough to fight all but Garlemald and the Ascians. Lillith can't help but think its a fair Trade to have her family with her on this adventure. Not to mention just because they will all have the power doesn't mean they will be able to use the techniques their characters could pull off. Each one knows being a mid twenties to early thirties gamer they have experience with specific items, and combat styles that could translate to a swiftly acclimating to the classes.
One of the party speaks up. "I assume it would weaken us more, or remove a boon, if you kept us together? will we have a way to find one another?" This one has a Distinctly Masculine voice, and is clearly older than the others who have spoken thus far.
"Fuck that, I trust all of you, and as long as we use our Alias's or Real names we'll meet each other soon enough. Can you make it where we can Acclimate to the soul crystal's and abilities Easier. In our World, I'm a black belt, but in game I'm a healer, would rather not struggle for too long to learn casting." Spoke The now Blond with Red Highlights, and Red bangs. Her Eyes now heterochromatic With the Right a Blood Red, and the left a sapphire blue. This is Laeticia Tenshi, Formerly Okuma Jaide, or Lillith Nightingale.
"Are all of us Supposed to be Heroes now, or one of us?" The Radio Voice Spoke a Dark Skinned Armored Au-Ra, with deep blue hair. Upon his back was a fancy Claymore. The blade looked like in belonged in this Space. With his Astral form seeming to dissipate into him.
"Ryoma, you are the only one of us with the Heart of a fucking Hero. Im too Crude, Lyons is a bit unhinged and the others are more in it for the fucking Adventure." Spoke Laeticia.
The voice of the Mother Crystal interrupted any further discussion or questions. "I have chosen all of you to be my Warriors of light. Though I fear the people shall only see Thou as the one who enforces my will My child. For Thou's placement among the lands, you will not appear together, if you'd like to get ahold of your new powers quickly. All of your Skills, including those of the artisan will take less than a year for thou to truly make thou own. go forth and Save Eorzea from damnation."
