Haru stared at his hands, man this VR stuff was just looked so real. He could feel himself getting pumped up. Feeling energized he started running around, doing push-ups, and punching the air. Oooh! This was so cool! He didn't even feel the least bit winded! VR technology was so interactive it felt like you were actually doing the actions yourself! Trying to acquaint himself with the controls he unsheathed the lance and shield from his back. Ignoring the strange looks he received from other players he started swinging his lance around in the air.

How the hell do you start a combo? Did you have to be in battle for it to work? With that thought Haru looked around for the town’s exit. There should be some low level monsters around somewhere. "Doesn't this game have a mini map anywhere?" he mumbled to himself and went though the games menus.

"Ouff--" Someone suddenly crashed into his back face-planting him into the ground, canceling the menu he was in. Sitting up he looked back at a girl who was apologizing and speaking so fast he couldn't really catch what she was saying.

"Woah, woah, slow down." Haru said reaching a hand down to help her up, "It's okay, really."
