...
KC: "I wonder what type of illusions we'll see?"
Ash: "I'm hoping we don't see any."
KC: "That'd be boring! I want a challenge!"
Ash: "Why if that challenge gets us killed?"
KC: "Oh, don't be pessimistic what could possibly go wrong?"
Ash: "...How about that?"
KC: "Why'd I have to go and say that?"
Ash: "I warned you. Now there's a bunch of copies of you."
KC: "What are you talking about there are a bunch of level 500 dragons!"
Ash: "I think we're seeing different things because the illusions must be specific to each person."
KC: "But why am I seeing dragons while you're seeing me–"
Ash: "Omg! They're stripping!"
KC: "What!? Don't look!"
Ash: "Then how am I going to see what I'm doing? "
KC: "But if you look that means you're a pervert that wants to see me naked."
Ash: "But it's just your in-game character."
KC: "So?"
Ash: "Fine but if I die I'm blaming you." Asher closed his character's eyes. Now he was only able to see a black screen.
KC: "That's not fair! How am I supposed to do that by myself!? Besides, I don't even know where you are!"
Ash: "!!! Please tell me that you're the one touching me right now..."
KC: "No, I just said I don't know where... Wait...Are the illusioners making naked me touch you!?"
Ash: "I don't know if they're actually naked anymore. I closed my character's eyes."
KC: "Don't you dare open them!"
Ash: "What am I supposed to do?"
KC: "Are you taking damage?"
Ash: "No... My character's ummm... He's... He just needs to be taken out of this situation and quick."
KC: "At least you're not fighting dragons in an open field."
"Wait... There are no trees near you?"
"No? I just said big open field."
"Good," Asher said then used one of his ultimate moves, Divine Slash.
*Immortal_Loser has slain Goblin Illusioners×100*
The game announced.
KC: "What the heck did you kill all those blind!?"
Ash: "It was one of my ultimate moves. I only have half my mana now. Ooo they drop a lot of gold!"
KC: "What!? I'm over here struggling to survive?"
Ash: "They're only level 20 you can handle them."
KC: "Really?"
Ash: These thieves were stealing my gold!"
KC: "LOL"
Ash: "Omg! They are Golden Retriever puppies! They're so cute!"
*Immortal_Loser has found 2 puppies.*
Ash: "Wow, they have party announcements too? What doesn't this game have?"
KC: "It's not that significant. What's really cool is the fact that they are getting something similar to VR incorporated and we get to keep our stats and items."
Ash: "That is cool but how does it work?"
KC: "You wear the VR glasses connect to your old account and you play the game like you were actually in it."
Ash: "Wow..."
KC: "The best part is that you can play while you sleep."
Ash: "That is amazing!"
KC: "I know right!"
Ash: "Have you still not killed any of the Goblin Illusioners?"
KC: "Oh I ran away before you told me that– Oof. Oh is this actually you?"
Ash: "Yeah."
KC: "The puppies are so cute!"
Ash: "I told you."
The puppies began to run away. They let them to another pup but this one was a short-haired Daxon.
KC: "Come on we need to catch up!"
Ash: "They stopped."
KC: "How did that puppy get over there!?"
Immortal_Loser and KrazyCupcake found a puppy.
Ash: "Omg! I'll go get him."
KC: "Wait! There's a pattern to that path on this map."
Ash: "Really?"
KC: "You go on ahead. I'll tell you where to go."
Ash: "Okay!"
KC: "Right."
"Up"
"Left."
"Up."
"Right."
"Right again."
"Diagonal left."
"Up."
As she was trying to go up she tripped and fell.
Ash: "You've got to be kidding me! How did you fall?
KC: "I tripped."
Ash: "On the Air? Nevermind, you should be fine as long as you don't apply pressure to the squares so don't.....Get..up...Sigh."
KC got up simultaneously pressing four wrong squares. The entire floor started falling and everyone in the area, including the three puppies they found, began to fall with it. At the bottom of the pit, Ash spotted the pool of lava that was awaiting them.
'That's probably water since this is the maze of deceptions but I can't risk it. Plus the puppies can't swim so it'd be better to save everyone.'
Ash used a special item that allows him to teleport him and anyone and the at the cost of 1000 mana per person and item that's not in an inventory. If he doesn't have enough mana it uses his health.
His personal mana limit is 3500 but he already used half of that. He as a capacity of 5000 health. Since we're talking about stats he also has 2000 stamina and 5000 magical mana that allows him to cast spells.
Ash cast the spell and saved everyone. But he only has 1750 hp left.
KC: "Oh no!"
Ash: "What's wrong?"
KC: "Your health!"
Ash: "Oh yeah. I didn't have enough mana to cast the spell so it used my health."
KC: "But what if we get attacked?"
"I mean that's very unlikely." Just then he was swallowed whole by a giant bird that immediately flew away.
"Ash!!!!!!" KC yelled desperately chasing after the bird from the ground.
Time until digestion ends 5:00
4:59
4:58
"Digestion!? 5 minutes! I need to get him out of there in under 5 minutes dang it! This stupid game just had to have proximity chat. I'll have to track him myself... He has the puppies too this is bad!"
"Me and my big mouth! Why do I even talk!?"
"Ugh! This stupid game just had to have a limit to how far you have to be to hear each other. How am I going to find him now!?"
~Meanwhile~
"Oh. Hello, there little guy. I guess getting eaten wasn't so bad... Wait how the hell did this game expect us to find you?" Asher said staring at the adorable Husky puppy.
"Woof." The husky wagged its tail.
*Asher has found a puppy*
"Aww you're so cute," Ash said with a smile.
'This bird will digest me in less than five minutes so I have to escape before then. In the meantime I'm going to meditate and get my mana up just in case I need a quick escape. But first I'll eat an enchanted apple so my hp goes up as well I can't end up dying now.'
"I took damage! You didn't have to throw me up so violently you dumb bird!"
*Digestion has stopped. Eggs will hatch in; 1:00
0:59
0:58
"Bark!" A chocolate labrador puppy wagged it's tail sitting patiently.
"Gasp! The final puppy!" Asher exclaimed.
"Oh no. The giant bird eggs are hatching I got to get us out of here and quick! But how?"
"Well here goes nothing."
Back with KC
'Ugh. Nothing. Guess I'll just have to figure a way out and wait for Ash to respawn.'
*Poof*
Ash: "Hey."
KC makes her character hug Ash's character.
KC: "I'm glad you're okay and you've gotten the final puppy!"
Ash: "It's just a game. I would have respawned."
KC: "So?"
Ash: "Anyway, we should complete the quest."
"Well, it's time to cash in on my money." Villager Anne said walking away.
KC: "Hi! We're back with your puppies little girl."
"What you actually found the– I mean... Yay, you actually found them!" Villager Anne said pretending to be happy.
KC: "Sooo... What's our prize?"
"Your what? Oh yes! Your prize for umm... finding my lost puppies... Haha." Villager Anne laughed Awkwardly.
Ash:"...This was a scam."
"What!? No! Okay fine how about I give you each one puppy and 10000 gold and you keep this our little secret, after all, there's a bunch of other poor saps out there that'll actually fail so I can collect money." Villager Anne negotiated.
Ash: "No. Others need to know about your scams."
KC was making her character give Ash puppy eyes.
Ash: "Sigh, Fine we'll take your hush money."
"Yay! These dogs each give a special buff if you make them your companion. The higher their level the stronger the buff." Villager Anne gave them their prize then ran away.
Asher got a male Husky and KC got a female Golden Retriever.
Ash: "Oh ummm... KC?"
KC: "Yeah?"
Ash: "I have to go..."
KC: "That's okay your health and mana are super low anyway. I guess I'll see you next weekend since school starts this upcoming week. We can still text each other though."
Ash: "Of course. Bye."
KC: "Tata~"
'That was so fun! I never thought I'd ever play with anyone.'
"Loser. Mom says you need to go to bed. So stop playing your stupid nerd game." Andy stated then left.
"W-whatever."
'I forgot that Summer is almost over. I never really cared before because I was homeschooled but now I'll be going to a real school with real people that'll probably bully me. Yay. I'm so excited...'
~Flashback~
"Okay. See ya around pal! If not at school maybe at the park I'll probably be there every day after school!" Katelyn yelled as she ran home.
~Flashback End~
'At least I have one good thing to look forward to.'
