— Most importantly, have fun!
1/ Welcome To The World Of Crystallis!
You have seen reality shatter and collapse around you, in the depths of the void you found a Crystal and now you are in the city of Aqures Ixen, surrounded by Moogles and people as lost and confused as you are. On the bright side, everyone thinks you're a legendary Hero! On the downside, they expect you to save the world. Maybe their expectations are a bit too much. Thankfully, you're not abandoned to your fate as a Moogle explains to you everything you need to know. It's probably time to get to know your companions in misfortune. Besides, it seems this has occurred very often this past year-- Maybe the characters who have been here for longer than you may help.
2/ Do You Like Your New Life?
No? Well, either way, you better get used to it, to your new powers, to your new house, to the ball of fur that follows your every steps—Who knows, maybe you'll even make some friends here. Besides, even if everyone expects you to save the world, fighting isn't the only way to do so. Maybe you could open a shop to help and properly equip your friends who are actually eager to fight. Maybe you could try and gather people who think it is possible to negotiate with the Calamity, you could even participate in the research on the Crystals— Or you could make sure your house is the prettiest of them all in Aqures Ixen. Anything is possible!
3/ Neighborhood Woes...
The government of Aqures Ixen is sorry, but there are too many of you Heroes of Light. Hence why there are no free houses left in district dedicated to housing you. This may also be why you're not alone in the house that was given to you. Hopefully you're not living with a mad villain plotting to take over the world and hopefully your neighbor isn't a singer who doesn't know how to sing. On the bright side, you may have be living with someone very cool and maybe an artist of great talent lives next door! It's just not likely.
4/ Crystallis De Chocobo
Upon arrival, your Moogle gave you a map of Crystallis. This world may be a bit big for you to explore, so why not go to the Chocobo Farm and ask for a Chocobo? These big birds can't fly, but they're much more efficient than horses when it comes to travelling. Maybe it's your first time riding a Chocobo; it might be a good idea to have someone with you in case something goes wrong. Or maybe the old man at the farm didn't have any Chocobos left and gave you some Chocobo Lure© so you can go and capture your own. You can find details on Chocobo Capture here.
5/ A Thing Called Mognet
Hopefully you weren't used to Internet and cellphones back home. Otherwise, you might be a tiny bit confused when your Moogle returns to you with a stack of letters. Or maybe someone else's Moogle is coming to you with a voice message it learnt by heart and is now going to recite it to you with a lot of Kupo. That's how the "network" works here.
6/ A Thing Called Strike
In spite of how old-fashioned it is, Mognet is very useful and odds are that you may have become dependent on it. Hopefully not, because one local tradition seems to be Mognet Strikes. Nobody knows any more whether the Moogles have legitimate reasons to go on strike or if they are just lazy. But today, Mognet is down, and to get information you have no choice but going to the public board in the third district or in taverns.
7/ I Believe I Can fly~
You are on an Airship! Airships regularly depart from Aqures Ixen and stop by most major cities in the world, so they're the perfect means of transportation for you to go and explore this world. You can also borrow the Heroes of Light's official Airship, the Enterprise and some characters even have their own airship! You can go anywhere in a matter of hours — One can only hope you don’t have motion sickness.
8/ Exploration
Enough expository banter. Now is the time to explore. Maybe rather than spending most of your time in Aqures Ixen, you'd rather spend it living in Balicea, or betting on Chocobo Races in Trano Golsaucia. Or maybe you'd rather go and explore the ancient ruins that may hold some precious information in the continent of ruins. With Airships and Chocobos at your disposal, you can go nearly anywhere!
9/ Random Encounter
You were minding your own business walking around, and suddenly monsters attacked you! Time to put to use the skills you've learned with your Jobs! Alternatively, maybe this encounter isn't random at all, and you have been sent on a mission to kick some imperial asses in the war confronting the Heran Empire and the Republic of Esdham. Good luck!
10/ Getting Jobs Is Hard
It all started when you asked Cid to give you a new Job. What could and should have been a formality, quickly turned into a trial. All you wanted was a Job, and here you are in the wild, hunting for a Malboro Vine. Or maybe you are in some ancient and decrepit ruins looking for an artifact. Or yet again, maybe he simply asked you to assist him to clean the laboratory. Getting new Jobs is not easy. Consider yourself happy though, at least you don't have to do that alone.
11/ The World Is Subject To Unrelenting Pain and Suffering…
This is why you should play a game. After all, there are things a lot more important than saving the world: Blitzball is one of them. Triple Triad is another. Why don't you take a break and do something different for once; anyone wanting to play Blitzball is given a special potion allowing them to breath underwater, whereas someone who wants to play Triple Triad should have no difficulties finding veterans more than happy to get rid of their low level cards.
12/ Events Of The Past
Missed an event you would have liked to participate in? The Test Drive Meme is the perfect place to play this event without being restricted by the game's chronology! Maybe you would have liked to be lost and attacked from all sides in the creepy Magitek Research Facility or maybe you'd have liked to celebrate the Christmas of Crystallis. Yet again, maybe you would have preferred to regain your true powers and subsequently be on your path to death, as in The Night of the Thirteen Moogles or chase ghosts for a living. Or how about reliving some of your Worst Memories or fighting in A War for future of the world?
13/ Wild Card
Don't like the options offered here? Go crazy and choose what you want to do in this world!

Coppelia | Log Horizon
Encounter! Coppelia is standing there, gauging the amount of enemies. She had gathered up precisely 5 elementals, 6 bombs, a cactuar and three dozen assorted smaller enemies. Tilting her head, she stated in her matter of fact tone.
"Defeating these enemies with wide range AOE will take approximately 5 minutes and 42 seconds. Coppelia suggests using your strongest abilities. At 2 minute mark, Coppellia will administer healing, and utilize a wide range threat debuff, in order to allow the tank to utilize any hate-gathering abilities."
Coppelia didn't seem worried she gathered so many dangerous monsters.
"In the chance of party wipe, Coppelia will swiftcast a Resurrection Prayer. Let us begin."
Yzma, Emperor's New Groove
Yzma has 'Overlord' equipped, but she's swapped out the Dark Knight's sword for a large mallet. She dashes forward, spindly legs carrying her surprisingly fast for a woman of her ag...level of maturity.
"Ah ha ha HA HA! I'll smash it with a hammer!" she titters, as she brings down her weapon on the nearest bomb.
Re: Yzma, Emperor's New Groove
Well, at least Yzma was... effective, to say the least. One would think she'd be overexerting herself, but Coppelia was a effective medic. For a former Bot, she was also very good at hitting things.
Pulling out her two shields, Coppelia brought the full force of her Cleric Custom Job to bear. "Commencing engagement."
Shooting forward, Coppelia struck two bombs and hit a third before engaging a wide range AOE into the trio. Some of it might accidentally grace Yzma though.
no subject
Fixing her with Yzma's most angry, wild-eyelashed stare, she growls out, "WHY did I think you were capable of this ONE SIMPLE TASK? I hit, you heal. Is that HARD? Too hard for a stupid little maid-girl?"
Her Illusionist skills allow her to repeat her ally's most recent attack. So she Imatates that AOE and sends it right at Coppelia. It might hit some enemies, too, but it matters so little to Yzma if it does.
no subject
Getting up, she notices several of the monsters had broken off and came towards her, so she intoned, "Protection Barrier."
A wall of light appeared as the monsters crashed against her shield. "Apologies Yzma-sama, before the Apocalypse, there was no need to worry about Area of Effect touching the Adventurers."
Coppelia charges up her White Mage job and let a Cure settle down, mending her wounds. The distressing lack of a HP bar made Coppelia pause a bit as the monsters smashed against her barrier.
no subject
At which point, everything began to whirl around Ruby's head like a whirlwind, confusing her.
"Uh... what?" she uttered, completely missing her cue.
no subject
"You are welcome to begin the attack at any time."
no subject
no subject
Accessing the full spread of her abilities, HP bars popped up in her field of vision as she monitored the damage of the enemies and the opponents.
"Average level 14. Mistress Ruby, there are a group of Wolves coming in from the north drawn in by the fighting. Draw the enemies towards me, I will put up a aggro-lowering skill."
Striking the ground, Coppelia intoned, "Passive Waltz." A corona of light settled down on Ruby and the threat indicators turned yellow. "Ten seconds until the wolves pass. You may resume attacking."
no subject
no subject
Uh oh.
"Mistress Ruby, third bomb from your right. Ten seconds before Detonation!"
no subject
no subject
Blast, how could she not notice? "Shining Barrier!"
The emergency spell went off seconds before the warning beeped. "Mistress, move!"
no subject
"That was a close one! Are you okay?"
no subject
"Shining Barrier will last another fifteen seconds. We are in no current danger from the damage these monsters can inflict." She added. "Do we wish to defeat the rest of them?"
no subject
no subject

Moving alongside Ruby, she added a smashing attack of the flat of her shield against a monster, and was satisfied there was a HP drop. A monster fell to Ruby as well and Coppelia stated, "8 left."
no subject
no subject
Divine Bomber, an Area of Effect spell that was used by level 50 Clerics. It was their main offensive spell and struck everything in a five foot radius.
The blast lanced out and struck a couple of monsters, taking a huge chunk of HP out of them as they fell over, smoking. "6 left." Ruby's opponent died at that moment. "5 left."
no subject
no subject
With Ruby's attack, three fell as two wolves snapped at Coppelia's ankles. The Shining Barrier faded at this point and she winced as damage was inflicted. The familiar flash of HP being drained was almost comforting in a way... but she wasn't about to let that pass.
"Negative Zone." Intoned Coppelia, invoking her lv 90 ability. A concentrated dome of energy flashed into being, surrounding her and Ruby and trapping them inside with the wolves.
But unlike the wolves who were pushed to the ground from the gravity spell, Ruby would feel faster.
no subject
Either way, Ruby wouldn't let the advantage fade away, taking the time to take out the wolves.
no subject
Looking at the remaining loot, she began to calculate the gains. "Spoils are as follows:
6,234 gil
Four bomb fingers
Seven Thick Hides
Twenty Cactuar Needles
3 Potions
1 Ether
1 Hi-Potion
Estimated total value: 9,723 gil. Total Time in Combat: 9 minutes, 22 seconds. Total net profit from Farming Session: 12,114 gil."
Turning towards Ruby, she asked, "Coppelia would like to inquire how the loot shall be divided. Coppelia can carry it all in Coppelia's chest until we reach town."
