One stormy night, a boy is creating his customized player in a relatively new Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. Just as he clicks the 'Submit' button, the power goes out, forcing him to wait until it goes back on to play the online game. Unbeknownst to him, his online character is already starting an adventure in the virtual world, all on its own...

First of all, I'd like to say that... this is one cute game! The visuals are stunning, the music is supreme, and the story is simply beautiful. What more do you expect from the awesome creators anyway? Circle Pegasi is the same group that made Days of the Divine, and the artist, Anna, is also the one who drew the sprites and CG art in Reaching Out.

This super long review (more like a synopsis) will contain spoilers. Lots of it. So, be warned.

Chaz is the main character in this visual novel. Or rather, Chaz's online character. Whose name I can't type out, because... what letters are those? Greek? It looks Greek to me, but I can't be too sure. Hahaha. To be honest, I read his name as Chu most of the game. Cute, right. :)

And so... This kid, Chaz, created this character on this new MMORPG, but the power went out so he couldn't play anymore. However, the character, Chaz, was already created. Sort of. He appeared in the game without any player controlling him, unknown to Chaz, the real guy. And like I said in the short summary above, he started an adventure all on his own.

I'm just gonna call him Chu, so that we won't be confused. Hahaha. Ahem. Anyway, Chu is a sweet, young knight of 16 who was apparently left alone by his father. Aww, sad. It's his mission to get stronger and kill pom-poms, though he was apprehensive to do the latter because, well, he's sweet like that.

He soon meets Iris, a girl with fiery red hair and a matching personality. They get along real quickly, and Iris manages to coer-- I mean recruit him into her team. Of two. So he could protect her, because he's a knight. And she's an archer, yeah. Apparently archers can't protect themselves. Look's like somebody hasn't met Katniss Everdeen yet.

But Iris is really nice anyway, and Chu is like a sweet bunny, so the two of them form a team. Hey, she gave him two yum-yums! That must be delicious. :3 It would have also helped in their first mission, which is to defeat a witch in a nearby cave, if he hadn't felt sad for witnessing another pom-pom die.

Back to the witch. Apparently, the (adorably cute) witch devours people from the place. Which is quite true. Still, they do manage to sorta defeat her, with the help of a cute (seriously, everything in this visual novel is cute) kitty who let them pass through the gate.

Before they could celebrate though, a mod message appears saying that a hacker has managed to infiltrate the game and everybody is advised to log out ASAP. Iris calls Orion, a moderator, for help, but much to my shock and disappointment, he erases Chu's character from existence, never to be seen again.

The End.

In the third route, you'll find out that our cute little hero Chu can influence other characters to become real; that is, to become part of this virtual world. Cool, right? It's like being a person who can influence mannequins to actually become real humans. But of course, there's a huge problem with that. What will happen with the other players? Heck, what will happen to the game itself now that Chu, a real AI, is living there?
