Chapter 1: The Cold

"Attention all passengers, we have arrived at our destination." the voice over the intercom had spoken.  Curtis has FINALLY arrived at his destination, which was where his family moved.  That is, into one of the colder regions of the world.  The place was pretty bone-chilling, but it didn't have ice left and right.  Curtis wasn't a fan of the cold, nor was he a fan of Estal.  The place didn't have the best internet, but not the worst.  One day though, something awoke Curtis.  It was a tall goblin-like figure, who was almost ghostlike.  It turned into a ball of light and forced its way harmlessly into Curtis' body.  Then, he gained a visor of sorts.  However, he still needed sleep and went back to bed.

However, that Visor of his had some options: Buster and Blade.  He picked Blade, and summoned a Three-point fan-like object into his hand.  He then slashed with it, and pierced the robot's shielding and armor, instantly deactivating it.  A couple minutes later, the army is FINALLY able to defeat these things.

Three minutes later, as Curtis goes through town, a girl with a visor similar to his own speaks to him.  "Hey.  So you've got one of those too, huh? Listen, those Sniper Joes aren't the only enemies you'll face.  There's gonna be many more.  I'll tell you about it later."  The girl was strange in that when Curtis tried talking to her, she disappeared for some reason.  It was getting dark out, though, so he went to bed, got some sleep, and ended up in a mysterious place inside his dreams.  He saw the girl from before there, too.  "Hey." she said.
