"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 gettin

"Well, need me a bottle of ale to fix this." He declared, sitting before the bar. He poured the drink into a mug and gulped it down. He looked out through the window and saw something shining at the spot the Witch had died. He got closer and saw before him a treasure chest. Elated, he quickly broke it open and met three abilities. "Health", which he quickly absorbed. The second was "Flight." An ability he had noticed in the Witch. He chose it and it added to a feature in his armour. The third ability, a mystery pick was something he felt skeptical about. However, he picked it too, not knowing what it could be and how it could help. He went back to the tavern and realised people were beginning to regain consciousness. He first pulled Gandu up, sitting him upright on his seat. "How do I find Aregon?" He asked slowly shaking the man by his sleeves. "You will find him. Just do." Gandu responded slowly, his eyes still half shut. "Great." David muttered, freeing Gandu's sleeves

The sky rumbled with constant lightning. The atmosphere was unimaginably cold as soft drizzles of rain fell on the earth. Life seemed devoid on this land, but for a trench, one that a cave laid at its base. Inside the cave, a deep growl was uttered. Once, twice and thrice it sounded. A monster from a horror story. Around the cave laid bones, burnt to crisps. They were scattered around the base of the trench like confetti, a gothic design for the life of the cave's inhabitant. Before this trench stood a forest, one that served as the barrier between a Kingdom and the trench. This Kingdom, like the magical Kingdom in every fantasy, was a huge settlement fenced and protected by walls so high, only the tip of the Monarch's castle could be seen from a reasonable distance. However, on the edge of this Kingdom were towers mounted at four different points of the walls. Watch towers manned by guards who served as watches against impending danger or doom. This seemed like a perfect kingdom, e

"The Queen. She's gone." The Knight uttered in shock. They all wondered how it happened.All the knights surrounding her had died except for him who was at the base of her throne. The attack had happened so fast, coupled with the trauma he had just experienced that he didn't see anything happen. "We're in a fucking tough situation here." David said angrily. The Knight had gotten up, an attempt to make a public announcement when Dana grabbed his arm, pulling him back. "Don't." She uttered. "Are you insane? The Queen has just been kidnapped, the royal guard are dead. I have to rally warriors to go after her." He yelled. "Easy Tiger. We'll do just that. However, we handle this with discretion." Colleen said, placing a soothing palm on his shoulder. "You mean for me to trust our Queen's safety to mercenaries like you. Your type have come and failed. What should make us trust you?" He questioned. "For starters, we just killed the bloody fucks that had you shitting your pants, and lo

Historia returned to her tent, sitting glumly inside. She could not remember what had happened earlier and only felt a little bit of guilt eating at her. "Guilt for what?" She asked no one in particular, then laid on her mattress. "Historia." Her mother called, staying outside the tent. "May I come in?" She requested. She instantly sat up."Yes mother." She responded and the Queen entered the tent. You have been inside since? Well, I was about to retire to my bed when I decided to check on you girls. I checked on Meralda first since her tent is close to mine, however I can't find her. Have you seen her?" She asked. "No." She replied hurriedly, her head facing the bed. "Alright, sweetheart." She spoke, kissing her daughter on the forehead. "Goodnight." She said, leaving the tent. Historia shut her eyes instantly, falling back into her bed. Something was wrong and she couldn't tell what it was. ..It had been a week since Meralda had gone missing and the Royal Guard had franti
