No one'spov
A girl dress in armor ran across the pathway as cold sweat ran down her back.
'We've already lost our healer striker and markman leaving me to claim our victory.'
"How is this possible?" Her thoughts were derailed as she barely dodged an attack.
'It's only been 4 hours into the game and yet they've managed to eliminate 50% of the competition.'
She dodged another one with barely the skin of her teeth. The player currently marking her was a female mage with a small frame, seeming around preteen by physical standards. Her level was average yet judging by the way she attackef, it was obvious this wasn't a noobie. She rose her staff , the crystal glowed as a hurricane began to form. Just as the lady in armor was about to strike, Another one gave a midair attack from which the lady barely escaped. This player was a male wearing a similar mask like the girl so his face couldn't be seen. The lady held on and took a stance despite the loss of most of her HP due to impact of the previous attack.
'iguess have no choice now'
She deliberately ran to the center of the area as a smirj crept it's way onto her face.
"This ends now!" She screamed as her MP rose at a rapid pace, she lifted her sword at the opponent as she unleased the ultimate spell in her asenal.
HELLWINDSPIRAL!!!
BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
Smoke and dust filled the air as she let out shaken breaths and a smile. Gazing ahead of her but froze in shock as the dust settled.
"What but how?!" She panicked, fear crept in as she didn't even know when they sliced her head off and landed the final blow
//(Queen-bee87 has been killed Doom squad has been eliminated)//

Have you ever heard of this myths before, it's about a team known to beat every game they've played. However, the players themselves are mysterious, their identities are even unknown. All information known about them is just their account name.
{Gemgate}
Rumors has it that they're quite the force to be reckoned with, As alone a few have managed to survive them in game.
....
///(In the games waiting room)///
"What? You think GemGate are cheated?" The fallen player known as Queen-bee87 asked another player who died not long after her, well known as Darkness 49.
"Indeed, how else do you think they were able to eliminate 1200 players?! There no doubt that they're a bunch of cheaters..." he said, voice dripping with disdain.
" Your Wrong, were the ones breaking the rules. Are you really so dense that you didn't notice, how else did you think I spasmed such complicated spells?..." she confessed as she hung her head low in shame
"You, cheated?!" The player beside her was. shocked
"My armor and sword were purchased on the black market... I'd intentionaly chosen magic attack barrier for my armor and disguise it to others as high defense...And yet they still managed to eliminate me so easily. They predicted that I would cheat to win so they came prepared" she explained in frustration
"Gem'Gate..., their so...so... Incredible!" She squealed in awe as the player beside her stared with annoyance at her sudden change in mood.

And just like that, as the rumors spread an urban myth was born. One that reached thousands from a a single platform. Some believe Gemgate were a team of elite hackers...others believed they were AI or rather believe they didn't exist.... However, just like most urban wishes, when it all comes down to it the least interesting answer is usually the right one.
.....
Somewhere else In Japan. In a certain room which was lit up by the light of working computer screens...
One side of the room placed a large cabinet filled with multiple gaming throphies, The other side had shelves of anime merch as well as several cases of videogames.
In the center, against a wall. High tech computers were arranged as two individuals were steel focused on the contents before them, or rather one of them were...
"Ah, I can't believe we actually won~. hey sanemi could you pass me an energy drink and also, stop controlling the teams anchor with your feet it's just weird and unhygienic." The one sitted on the gaming chair spoke. She had very long white messy hair that reaches her lower thighs, wearing her headset like it'd always belonged there. Quietly adjusting her glasses with a sigh.

"So hungry..." He said to himself ignoring his sister's earlier request.
"Hey are you even listening..." She asked again knowing well he won't respond.
" Here fuel up..." He passed her the energy drink as well as a small plastic bag of cookies.
"Thank you for the food" she smile staring at her screen.
"I didn't expect you to send the maids to buy something this fancy though" she commented as she continues to play the game in front of her .
"Don't you like it?" He asked, his tone aloof as always as he continues playing on his own screen.
" It's delicious but nutrition is very important, real bread would have been a much better option compared to glucose from cookies" she replied not looking at him.
" There's glucose, carbohydrates, starch and sugar in those what more do you need" he spoke as she deadpanned at him
" We need to have other types of nutrients or we won't grow, that's just fact" she sighed
" sis your beautiful and pretty sexy as you are now, honestly I don't really see the problem but if it all comes down to it I'll be more than happy to marry you myself " he smirked earning him a playful smack at the back of his head.
" Hey what time is it?" She asked
"21:00pm why?" He said
" What day?" She asked
"Doesn't matter...." His eyes became droppy by each passing second"
"Of course It does were supposed to shoot a video to advertise a new gaming setup today....Speaking of games, do you think we should go to the award ceremony or send one of the butler to do it?" She turned to see her brother snoozing away.
" Nemi I Know you're tired, I'm too but if you sleep now we're fucked so please I'm begging you. wake up." She begged with animated tears
"You can do it sis" he said handing her his mouse.
" You can't be serious...." She blinked
"Good luck " he smiled innocently before passing out
"Sanemi! You can't be serious, I can't do this alone not with everything at stake please!"
No response
" Fine have it your way, I'm going in " she begun playing like a mad woman running, on caffeine and spite...
.........
The world is chaotic unreasonable and unfair but to some, everyday seems the same. Boring
Some are aware but have no say in the matter. turning to the gods and make a wish.
A wish that the world would be a little more interesting and less predictable. the gods can't intervene with human society, however this is a special case.
..........
The tablet turned on, disturbing the sleeping boy.
"Sis you've got an email" he murmured as shiori panted in the chair, ever so exhausted.
"As you can see I'm drained. whoever it is can wait" she replied catching her breath
" What if it's important?" He said
" Then you answer it for me " she replied, standing her ground on not moving.
He did, unlocking the screen to take a look. He rose a brow.
"Hey sis come look at this" he spoke as shioiri sluggishly sat next to him. Her gaze on the screen.

"What is this strange lettering?" She asked
" It's ancient text" he replied
"Can you translate?" She asked
" Give me a second" he replied. She moved a bit, Giving him space to work. After a while he managed to translate some of it.
Blood is the true key, only when one finally accepts their faith will the secrets be revealed....
"What is this? ouch!" As she tapped on the screen, a sharp pain shoot from her hand as she grazed down at her new bleeding fingers.
" Sister!" Sanemi exclaimed in fear.
"I'm fine, I'll be right back..." she rose up, cradling her bleeding finger and left to treat her wound.
...,.......
As she walked back into the corridor, she heard a crash coming from sanemi room. Without delay, she rushed over and slammed the door open.
Her eyes widened, her brother was unconscious and bleeding from the head as a cloaked figure carried him on their shoulder.
"Hey?!" Shiori screamed but just then, The person opened a pick hectagon portal and dashed inside, she quickly grabed a bag of random thing before following after. She'd only managed to get her head inside before it close.
"SANEMI!!!!" She screamed as everything went dark.
