"So, we failed." Colleen said after listening to David's explanation. He nodded, slapping his arm on his forehead. "My journey still continues." He said. Dana peeked at him, wondering if he was truly crazy. She knew she had been destined to meet Player one but this player was just suicidal. However, she held her thoughts to herself waiting for the rest's decisions. "Eden. Pyxis did kick out asses." Eder spoke. "Indeed, he did." Eden agreed. "I'll be damned to accept defeat." He added, his brother nodded in agreement. "Aregon saved us, but he ate Pyxis's heart after telling us he's coming for us. I say we take the fight to him." Eder said. Colleen sighed. "I'm beginning to believe boys are genuinely stupid." She said. "Maybe stupid, but I'll proceed on this mission. We survived Pyxis, we'll survive Aregon." Dana added. David smiled, he only felt glad for having this much support. "Okay. So we move on. We defeat Aregon and we all go our respective ways. Eder and Eden get the g

"I'm going to change the world." Bill announced. "How? It doesn't make sense." Sarah asked, still confused. He chuckled, settling on David's bed. "You see, Virtual reality could be the next step to reality. The game practically enhances virtual reality synchronization with our reality. In a sense, humans get to live the lifestyles they want. Eat the food they want, have the adventures they want and still have the biological and financial values from the technology." He explained. He looked at Sarah who still looked confused. "Okay, you look at the value of money in real life, it works in a digital sense too. That's how it works. In-game value equates real life value. People don't have to fight wars, feel sick, work their asses off and die once this technology is applied to them and David is the first successful case although he's immersed in the game world." He added."So, you're saying people have consciousnesses in the game, with vege bodies?" She questioned, now getting the cle

"Else, you're fucking going to die." They spoke in unison, aiming their weapons at her. "Calm down boys." She chuckled, arms held in the air as though she surrendered."I have your money, Gold." She added and slowly put her hand in her pocket, bringing out a pouch of gold. She held it out for them slowly. One nodded, signifying to the other to take it and he did. "Pure gold." The second brother spoke, dipping his fingers through the pouch. "We're square?" She asked, her hands still in the air. "Maybe. Who's the hot shot?" The first brother asked, pointing at David who kept his gaze on Gandu who was making to escape. "A companion." She replied, turning towards them. "I see tensions are cool. If you don't mind, I'll be on my way." Gandu spoke."Not so fast." Colleen said, pulling him back to his seat. "Okay, what is it you people want?" He asked. "A mage. Necromancer, Undead army of bandits? Ring any bells?" David questioned. "Information like that costs a lot." Gandu replied

It had been hours since the bandits were defeated and the town celebrated their victory. Dana had caught one for questioning but he wouldn't budge, after all he was an undead bandit. David sat in a corner, watching the celebrations go on. He was lost in thoughts, wondering how he would get home. "Would I have to keep killing?" He asked once more, staring at his now clean hands. The flashes of the kills he had so far replayed in his mind. He didn't even notice Audrey walking up to him, sitting by his side. "David." She softly spoke. He faced her, flashing a smile at her. "How are you?" He asked her. She rested her head on his harm, hugging him."Thank you for everything." She added. He knew again that he did good, killing off his conflicted thoughts. It was morning and the town was back to what it once was. The townspeople moved with their daily activities and the Doctor continued her practice of healing the sick and wounded. David woke up to the interface laying his next mis

"Fuck." David screamed. Dana instantly threw her shield, decimating the incoming arrows. "I did NOT see that coming." He stressed, his armour in protection of his body."At this rate, they're going to destroy the town. We have to get to them." Colleen said. "Thanks for stating the obvious. My concern is how we're getting up there." Colleen sneered. David pondered on his options. Maybe his enhancement would work, but it was a stretch. "Enhancement." He selected and his armour glowed in a bright blue colour. You guys get ready to attack any foot soldiers in the forest. I can jump up there to fight them." He instructed. They nodded, each understanding their roles. He made the jump. He stretched as much as he could, inching nearer the ship as arrows rained on him, their effect merely bouncing off his armour. Reaching the base of the ship, he gripped hard at it, tearing a small hole in through it which he used as a handle. "He propelled upwards once more, punching through their firs

David's eyes opened. He was stunned, how was he not dead?Still midair, his gaze met a shield, one that had obviously protected him from the arrow. A force threw him off balance, causing him to land on the floor. He looked up and saw someone fighting the bandits, using the shield to protect herself from the arrows. He sighted another bandit from an edge, aiming for her. Before he could warn her, he heard a loud roar, and a Tiger Beast pounced on the bandit, ripping their arms off their body.He watched on, amused as the person delivered quick, sharp blows to the bandits. He didn't even notice the Tiger beside him until it nudged his side. "Fuck." He screamed, then calmed. The lady who had saved him landed before him, rubbing the Tiger's head"Good girl." She spoke, rubbing it's neck. The Tiger purred meekly. "You must be the player." She said. He nodded. "Okay. So, the thing is, they're resurrecting pretty soon. They don't die except during night time, so I'll advise you to fo
