Chapter 001: The Pioneers
================================

An enlarged holographic panel window was playing a video of the event that recently just concluded in Jeremiah.

Spectating it are six people —personalities which names when announced to the world would create an unimaginable wave of shock and envy.

The world and they called themselves Pioneers.

According to the trusted resources, of all the 'beta testers' that tested the game prior to its boom, the top 1000 names in the ranking list were occupied by these 'Pioneers'. And right now, their eyes were focused to that fight between Siva and a so called "Devil General".

"It's confirmed. That's really Baal."

"Is it really a Grand Quest? Is there even such thing as a Grand Quest in RPG: Terroa?"

"Although there are no hints of it, and I also think that Panorama Corp. is lying about it, the fact is still in front of us... Baal is real... Ragnarok... is real."

"So that NPC chick who appeared in Alexandria is really Sefirah?"

"Long sword, alluring body, there's no need to put any doubts about it. That's really her."

"Should we make our move then?"

Such talk was ladened with a layer of superiority and an air of knowledge. They carried some sort of dignity which is natural considering that they're the first generation players of the game.

Their knowledge of the game was deeper than any of the underground information brokers... and the majority of them aren't interested in this 'Grand Quest' —or any other quest— but to the "History" of the game.

"Aye... before we are beaten by the other groups, we must seize of this 'Siva' since his name was in every record we found... even the Magus in that cave hatefully cursed at him from time to time."

"Just where did this guy come from? It's just been a few weeks since his name actually started to pull the buzz in every forum website I visited."

"He's not from our time. That's for sure."

"Right... the way he fights doesn't have any kind of knowledgeable planning and composure of one of the few who went and had seen that prosperous era of that time."

"In fact, aside from those few of us, none of the other Pioneers would have connected this Siva to the 'Siva' of that time. Sigh. I really want to go back there... those Goddesses are real delicious..."

"Aye, me too..."

"You boys only knew how to enjoy the ladies."

"Look who's talking. I think I remember seeing you hooking up with two Gods at the same time in one of the banquets of the Gods..."

"YOU DARE SLANDER ME?!!"

"Bahaha...!! Don't try hiding it, bitch...... we know you always feel empty inside."

"That's it. Let's settle it outside!"

"Stop it, you guys. We're in a meeting."

"Hmp." "Hmp."

"Look... All of us wanted to go back there but our only last way and ticket have been taken away from the Temple since a very long time ago."

As soon as the words came out, a look of dejection could be seen on their faces.
