.hack//Legend of the Twilight

Tell me I don't understand anything, but

You always say those kinds of words, too

You find another way where we only pass each other by

And rush out into a world that's ending, you know?

Hello, hello, it's a New World!

Faster than light,

with monochromatic speed

Hello, hello, it's a New World!

Farther than time,

I run through it; you're so far away

The Legendary Hero

Man, they can't be performing...

...maintenance for twenty-four hours straight.

This time the Spring of Myst is empty!

Who's behind this prank?

Is there such a monster?

Upside down palm trees...

...empty Springs of Myst, never before seen monsters.

This is weird! Could they be...

I'll just log out and contact the system admi...

Eh! What's this?!

I, Shugo Kunisaki...

...upon entering junior high, had outgrown games.

CONGRATULATIONS

CONGRATULATIONS I was aware that a net game called "The World"...

I was aware that a net game called "The World"...

...was popular around the world...

"The World" Limited Edition Character Campaign ...was popular around the world...

"The World" Limited Edition Character Campaign

"The World" Limited Edition Character Campaign ...but I never had the urge to play it.

"The World" Limited Edition Character Campaign

What you get is...

Until today, that is.

What? You're kidding me...

You won too, big brother?

Won!?

So you went behind my back and entered me, Rena?

But the odds are astronomical...

...for the two of us to have won!

We're definitely twins!

You know, even if I won this...

I don't have the software for "The World".

No problem!

Before Mother and I left your place, I installed it on your computer.

Since we won...

Let's play "The World" together!

You're well prepared.

Let's go.

The latest net games are so realistic.

I haven't seen you in a while...

...and you've suddenly leveled up so much.

It's because I'm with a strong party...

...I've gained experience with this spear.

Man! That area's treasure boxes are mostly trapped!

Hey, form a party with me?

Owwww!

You have some nerve plowing into my breasts like that.

Do you want to...

...to try it again?

Yeah, right.

I might just get to like "The World".

Shugo, you're late!

You're my older brother Shugo, right?

C-Could you be...

Rena? My little twin sister... Rena?

Bingo! It's been a while, big brother.

Well, it's the first time meeting in this form.

I'm Rena the Heavy Blade! Pleased to meet you.

Thanks.

Those guys. Aren't they the ones?

You mean? The limited edition player characters?

You're kidding, they're the winners?

Are you sure?

Think so?

Well they're not commonly seen player characters.

It looks like we've been noticed.

Of course.

We're the winners of the Character Campaign.

I never thought...

...that the dot hackers characters...

...would be the present.

Dot Hackers?

They're the only party...

...to have cleared the last mystery of "The World".

There were 2 original members...

...a young male Twin Blade, Kite and...

...a young girl Heavy Blade, BlackRose.

When they solved the mystery...

...people were no longer allowed to use these characters.

To be able to use legendary heroes... it's the BEST!!

Legendary heroes?

What's wrong?

T- that... look of yours...

Can't you do something about it?

I mean, can't you look more like a legendary hero?

I don't know.

Personally, I think I'm very cute.

Even if it's just a game. It's making your brother sad.

No need to make such a fuss about it.

I've found you!

Um...

W-Would you do business with me?

To suddenly ask to do business...

M-My mistake.

Um... Troop? Lover? Crew?

Um... Um... Um...!

Calm down. I'll...

This feels so strange.

To be talking with you, Rena.

Three months after you left.

Have you been eating right?

Eh? I'm fine.

I've gotten pretty good at cooking.

What about you?

Is mom busy with work?

Yes... No problems.

I see.

Well.

Since we're logged in...

...why don't we go somewhere?

But it's kind of fun this way, too...

Eh? What?

It's nothing.

Let's go do the very foundation...

...of roleplaying - fighting monsters!

Sure.

Let's go to "Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field"!

Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field!

We're here!

And the monsters?

They appear through the magic portals.

Magic portals?

This way. This way.

H-hey Rena!

What a low level.

It's an area designed for newbies.

Oho... And those two are...

Here it comes.

It'll be fine, you don't need to be nervous!

It's mostly small fry in this area.

That's... a monster?

That's a Mad Grass, a level one monster.

Level 1?

Stand back, Rena.

I'll protect my adorable little sister.

Shugo!

Shugo!

Calamity Cut!

The legendary hero is crying.

Here, take this.
