Chapter 1: Love twist and Shadow
Luna Smith, a vibrant senior high school student, was the epitome of sunshine. Her infectious laughter and radiant smile could light up a room, and her optimism was contagious. But behind her cheerful facade, Luna harbored a secret passion: online gaming.
She spent countless hours lost in the virtual world of "Aetheria," a fantasy role-playing game that captivated her imagination. In the game, she was known as "Love Twist," a powerful mage who wielded magic with grace and precision. Aetheria was Luna's escape. It was a world where she could be whoever she wanted to be, a world where she could forget the pressures of real life. She loved the thrill of battling monsters, the camaraderie of her guildmates, and the sense of accomplishment that came with completing challenging quests.
But Luna’s heart belonged to someone else. Ethan Anderson, the most popular boy in their school, was the object of her secret admiration. He was everything she found attractive: handsome, athletic, and confident. He was the epitome of cool, and Luna, with her bubbly personality, found herself drawn to his mysterious aura.
Author’s Note: Luna’s crush on Ethan was a classic case of opposites attract. She was drawn to his quiet intensity, his mysterious nature, and the way he seemed so aloof from the world around him.
