Intended Level: Safe Area

the player is gated into a small, wide pathway outside a large building.After passing through two giant bronze doors decorated with relief images of the eight Phases, the player comes into a large mansion type area. though it doesn't seem to be where a rich person would live. it seems to be an average person's home. very warm, a fireplace in a few rooms. carpet throughout the house. in the large livingroom is a christmas tree with presents underneath it. it is said that each player who takes a present from beneath the tree is given a unique item all their own, and then that present's wrapping paper and box regenerate back beneath the tree. this mansion has a dining room which is always filled with a feast fit for fifty kings, and not to mention the abundance of interesting things to find. though no monsters can be found here, and pking is not allowed, this is a very enjoyable area.

Shuko has gated in.

He sits among a chair and waits for Sho to come. Patiently, he hums Jingle Bells to himself.

Sho gated in.

As Sho entered the hallway he walked torwards a pair of bronze doors. Upon pushing the doors open he came into a room with comfortable furnichure and a christmas tree with presents beneath it. Sho decided to sit in an armchair in the picturesque room. He was able to feel the warmth of the fireplace and slowly dozed off into sleep. Surprisingly, Christmas Canon by The Trans Siberian Ochestra could be heard at the moment.

Shuko listened in, and said, "Welcome."

"Hello Shuko." Sho responded calmly. "Could you tell me how you discovered of this new area?" he asked skeptically as he lazily opened his eyes.

"That secret must be hidden from the world."

"What do you plan to do?" Sho asked Shuko calmly. He then started having flashbacks of Neo and his Vermillion Knights, causing him to have a splitting headache and fall on the floor.

"Sho-san!" Shuko bent down and cried on top of Sho. "Don't let go!"

Sho's pain subsided and he slowly became aware of his surroundings. "Thank you, Shuko." Sho said to Shuko as he sat up and hugg Shuko with his left arm. For some reason the seal on Sho's Vermillion powers was weakening and he was starting to remember everything. I need to speak to Noba... Sho thought with confidence.

"Never do that again, Sho-chan!"

"I promise that I won't doit again." Sho said calmly. He didn't want to scare Shuko anymore and felt really bad that Shuko had to see it.

'If I tell him my ambitions, and what I really am, Im dead for sure,' he thought. "I have no plans or intentions."

Sho wasn't entirely paying attention because he had other things on his mind. Sho once again fell asleep beside the fire. Sho fell asleep because there was nothing else for him to do.

Shuko also fell asleep.

Eventually, Sho woke up and decided to gate out of the area and switch servers.

Sho gated out and switched servers.

Shuko falls on the floor, lifeless.
