When a big decision needs to be made, whose the first person you usually turn to?
Your parent, teacher at school? In my situation I was the one making such decisions, myself and a friend I met while fighting in an all out brawl esc video game with almost no idea how my ideas would fare against all the people I once looked up to.
Psychopaths with the only thing flowing in their brains being bloodlust. The kind of thirst that even killings of thousands cannot satisfy.
Me among other thousands were about to go to war, one that would decide the fate of all the killers being sent out to fight tooth and nail for a chance at a new life.
Basically anyone who didn't survive would be forgotten about for the rest of the survivers lives.
Although we had only been in the PVP mode for an hour. No one had opted to draw blood first. Putting everyone in a stalemate, fear showing on both young and middle aged faces.
If only a doubt of absolute crazies pulled up.
Stupidity isn't a disability in this world. If anything the goddesses love watching wild ideas coming to life.
The only issue is that if you have a wild idea and it fails, let's just say you might die in your sleep the following night.
This time we had to fight of a group of men who were all armed with some novice guns of a common rarity which wasn't hard, or so we thought.
My LW3 Tundra was locked and loaded, just begging for me to take the shot. But when I finally did, umm tell me why he didn't take any damage?
"Jake, I think we pulled up on a gang of brutes." I said, my voice cracking at the urgency of the situation.
For some odd reason, Jake dosent respond. I find that odd, curiosity winning at this mini battle forces me to look around when i see Jake sprinting at the group with an AR15.
I take a deep breath and sprint in, following the flow of Jake. His speed catching me off guard.
Pistol in his left pocket, AR 15 in his possesion and a grin plastered accross his face. What a determained man that is.
Within a blink of an eye, i hear the gruesome screames of a man at deaths door and the cries of victory coming from Jakes direction.
"One down, three to go!!" Jake screamed out so that i could hear him, I arrive and find him taking aim at the brute I shot earlier, fortunately for us it was a two on one so the brute couldnt block from both angles.
Two down. We were on a role. I then switched to my sniper again and with almost no hesitation I jumped and without aiming, I headshoted the last two guys.
No-scoped. Finally after so long this game actually felt like a game.
The loss of Jack, the killing of the kraken. It finally all left my mind in one big swoop.
That finnaly brought me back into my true self. What was a reign of terror that was taking a tol on my life, was finally turning around into a life that I could see myself actually enjoying.
Okay. Enough of the daydreaming. But what if life had something that i was there for instead of being the killer that i was.
Well there would only be one way of finding out.
Jake was loving the system events. This all out brawl that the goddess put us in, a walk in the park from his point of veiw. Kill after kill after kill. His kill count was nearly rivalling mine back in my hay day.
The we got this message
[System Message] well done survivers. Daylight cycle will be going back to animal hunt stage.
Current population now 50000.
Well now we have to hunt animals, in the middle of the night. Alright this might suck.
After finding shelter, we took a look around the terrain the we were basically stuck in for the time being.
We then found the trading area. Basically the equivallent to where we found our guns all those days ago.
Due to an absence of coins we coukdnt really buy anything from the NPC but we took down the directions to the place and promissed to be back.
Then the sun left and the moon showed its ugly head. Gotta hate the moon when you have wild beasts running after you at full speed as if you are needed for some purpose.
"What if you kill a wild wolf and it drops legendary weapons though?" I said to jake as i thought that some way some how finding a legendary weapon would have to be possible.
"Jake agreed, understanding that my hypothesis could be right because even though we raided temples and stuff tgere was never a time that we got a legendary weapon.
With this knowlede we decieded to not sleep and grind the animals in hopes of actually finding a legendary weapon.
Well that was easier said than done.we unknowingly set ourselves a painful task yo do for the whole night.
Ever feel like youre dying? Yeah well we found out just how painful tge feeling was that night as we fought and killed wolf after wolf just trying to find a weapon that we thought we would get after hours upon hours.
And what did we get after that? Nothing, wow after all that work we gog nothing to show for it.
Terrible, i know. And this is coming from the guy who came up with the idea. I can be an idiot sometimes, i know.
The following day we took an interesting day off from fighting and remple hunting and just relaxed for the day. No fighting, just qualitiy time away from monsters and enemies, until a massive aliance grouoed up to attack me.
[In the distance.]
"We will kill him!!!!"
To be continued.
