Aster Takemoto suddenly woke up to his alarm clock. Scratching his head he remembered that today they were heading to the airport to go to to japan for his father's promotion. Thanks to this he was able to to move back in with their mother who he hasn't seen for the past 13 years. He remembered when his mother would hold him up high and he would snuggle in between her chest for comfort. That was years ago, now back to the present. Upon arriving he realized he's thirsty due to long flight from the States so he decided to buy some bottled green tea though he prefers the actual kind. Seeing as he's also hungry he decided to buy a meal. Upon completing the transaction he heard a loud popping sound.
Congratulations, you are the 10,000th person to come here. Shocked about what to do he was handed a ticket for a lottery happening right in the lobby of the airport. I wish you luck for getting the grand prize. As Aster headed down to meet his father Ray and tell him the story. He seemed glad and said it was okay since he knew his father was a fan of free stuff, whatever he got. Heading down to the lobby he saw that many people had already failed the the japanese lottery wheel which is also called garapon or gara gara.Their were only three colors white, blue, and gold which was considered the grand prize which was labeled ??? or unknown. White was the basic tissue pack while blue was a poster. As he went up to the machine the lottery guy took the ticket and was surprised when he saw it. This game was totally based on his desire only those who really regretted their life or wanted a change made the ticket turn this way. Although Aster did not look at what the ticket said, the other guy did as it had only one thing on it: CHANCE. He would be the very first to get the grand prize though it wasn't determined by the ball but how much an advantage he would get in the game.
What he was handed was a mysterious necklace that suited only him. What he didn't know was that the same thing was happening all over the world. When it was over Aster decided to meet up with his father and got into the car which his father rented. As he headed home to where his mother lived, he saw that the empty lot where he used to play was replaced with a small park where everyone can play now. Arriving at their destination, it seemed the house hadn’t changed one bit except for the new garden in front of the house. “I’m back mom.” startled by the surprise she gave Aster one of her long hugs. “Okay mom, I missed you too but I have to help dad unpack.” As they finished carrying the last box in he rushed upstairs instantly and lay down on his bed to relax from the tiring day. As he looked toward the ceiling he held up the mysterious necklace wondering about the value since it was the grand prize. It spoke to him in his mind or was it out loud. ‘But I am sure I heard a voice.’

Name me, I will show you A New World!!
Freaked out by what what was going on, Aster suddenly dropped the necklace. Hoping to see if he was crazy or not he started to pinch his cheeks, Ouch!! ‘Yeah still in reality but what in whose name is going on here.’ After scratching his head for a few minutes, he still couldn’t figure it out. ‘Guess I’ll just go with crazy and talk with the damn necklace.’
Soon after she started talking with him about what was going on and stated her name was Raito Nu. As for what she was named before nobody has a clue but she talked about how she was built, who created her and restored her to her current self.
She was first found at one the world’s biggest archeological digs in the world and was considered an ancient Artifact or a relic of ancient civilization by a group of researchers who found her. After analyzing the artifact for a month, they realized it could store huge amounts of information. A company that was called the VR Company saw this too and finally they could realize their dreams and create a VRMMORPG, a unique one from the group’s imagination. They decided to invest a large sum of their money until they were almost bankrupt to be able to mass produce all these other artifacts. They ended up with with 27,000,000 million units which could be sold to customers of their interest and only those with desire would be able to acquire such a rare item.
Raito said that she was the first found artifact with a confident and stuck up voice.
She finally asked: Do you wish to defy your Fate?
“The process of installation requires a full body scan and a sample of blood as a symbol of our contract. The installation process will happen overnight then you shall be given a passphrase specific to your voice’s wavelength which can only be created by you.”
“Do you wish to create your installation phrase?”
“Yes hmm... Well... let’s call it Enter the World.” Since he was tired of not doing anything in his life, he decided this would be his first step into a new life. After all that had happened he decided it was time knock it off for the day. ‘Lets see if what she says is really true.’
The next morning he awoke to the necklace being still on him but his name, Aster, was embedded into the center of the gem. Asking if it was awake or not he wanted to connect to their new world and test it out. He quietly mumbled his phrase. “Enter the World.”
She started to shine brightly and light covered his body. A sudden mature womanly voice asked him.
Do wish to enter the world of Second Chance?
