I sighed, scooping the books up into my arm and opening my inventory to store the items that had been lent to me. “I apologize for my outburst… I do appreciate you—all of you,” I stood up, putting my hands behind my head and taking deep, choppy breaths. Whether or not my body was receiving any extra oxygen was unbeknownst to me, but it helped calm my mind either way. “I just need a minute is all.” My feelings don’t excuse my reaction to her comment, whether they were sincere or not. Keeping a level head is all I’ve got left, facts not feelings, instinct not emotion. I

The words came crashing like an avalanche of despair and realization that the past two to three years I’ve spent watching a loading screen of a video game that I would spend the rest of my life in. I waved my hand back, gently brushing the man’s hand away, though I knew it was in good faith. “Two… to three years. Two to three. Years.” I repeated to myself slowly as if I hadn’t heard it properly, but I did. My fist clenched around the baked pastry, white knuckled and depleting its durability by the second due to my vice grip. “I’m not scared!” I snapped back harshly towards t

Taka’s eyes widened, spinning around to meet the new voice who had taken his thoughts and spoken them aloud. Tears would’ve welled up in Taka’s eyes if he hadn’t been so shocked. He stepped back until his back hit the monument. “You’re a liar! You’re… lying.” He accuses the newcomer with a broken and cracking voice. “You have no idea what you’re talking about… y-you’re implying I’m stuck here?! What’s next?” “Gonna tell me we can die here too?” He slid down to a sitting position and held his head between his knees. Silently, he’d sit there sobbing to himself, thinking of all the time

Silently, I stepped toward the monument, my eyes laying upon my name and the name of someone under mine which had been crossed out in red. Then another above mine, with a sound like steel against steel, that name was abruptly crossed as well. Underneath the name, in a smaller font read ‘Killed by Violent Nepenthes - 22:31’. I coughed slightly, clearing my throat. My fingers brush across my name upon the dark slab, it’s cold. The stone is smooth, cold and hard. I felt the skin on my fingers flatten as I pressed in on the material. I shake my head and laugh loudly. “Hah! You people ar

I shrugged, crossed my arms and looked to him, waiting for him to start walking. “I guess… as for my experience so far? I have to say… it's quite amazing. I mean—I knew it would be impressive but this outrageous! I can't believe he's done this.” My heart dropped when he questioned my weapon, the color ran from my face and I gave an awkward chuckle-slash-snort. “This ol’ thing? It’s nothing. My friend who got the game for me pulled a few strings and I got my hands on this bad girl! She's pretty ain't she? I can't wait to put her to the test.” My light pink hair and dark green eyes are clea

“So? It’s a little hardcore. That's all, if I die I gotta restart from the beginning so what?!” My hand reaches for the hilt protruding from over my right shoulder. The blade on my back resembled that of a mangled up car door. The gargantuan hunk of steel had no defined shape, no pommel nor grossguard. It’s width was no less than three feet, along with a length scraping just below six feet. The edge of the blade was jagged, and a mix of bronze, steel and gold can be pointed out at a quick glance. It’s name was Steel Requiem. A rare, two-handed broadsword that was wired to me via my f

I nod in understanding. “Whether it was wi-fi or just some server backlog, it was annoying!” I chuckle, but then something he said caught my attention, something that I almost took offense to. “Stay in town?” I repeat. The corners of my mouth curled up into a cheeky smile. “Ahh man! I'm not that green. I've been waiting forever to get this new tech, there's no way I'm waiting any longer to get into some monster-slaying!” I shouted with obvious excitement. Looking at his gear, this guy must’ve been grinding for a while and he clearly knows what he's doing. He's probably a decent level

I pivoted on my heel with a smirk and was just about to dart towards the rear exit, but when I did so I found that my destination had been replaced by a well-built man with wild, fiery hair wearing a sort of mask… “Woahh! Hey!” I exclaimed. Startled, I took a stutter step back after nearly running into the guy. I raised a brow, my smile faded but soon reappeared after finally understanding what he was asking. I responded softly and raised my hand to my chin, my fingers gently stroked just under the point of my chin as I began to think. “Teleport Crystal? I assume that's an

If my avatar had been formed yet I’d sigh deeply, but I've not even gotten there yet! I paid a fortune for this technology—broke the law to get my hands on this damned game and it doesn't even work… I had thought I’d be stuck here forever, that was until the Spinning Wheel of Death had faded
