Matt…
Matthew…
Yes…
Matthew wake.
Ten more minutes.
Matthew wakes up.
Ok.
MATTHEW WAKE UP.
BOOM.
AAAaaa.
Where am I, what's going on!
Who was that person talking to? She sounded familiar to me but from where?
BOOM.
Where is that coming from?
Boom, this isn't at all familiar to me, it's a garage of some sort in someplace. I don't
remember seeing it in town that I was living in, so we're no longer in New York.
BOOM!
Well, I am getting closer to whatever that thing is.
BOOOMMM!
It seems to be mad at something for some reason, and I hope it is not me because
whoever it appears to be strong. What…
Is this a barrier, why is this here what happened to everyone what is going…
BOOM!!
A giant beast burst through the wall right before the barrier revealing a room of tools and
custom weapons.
What in the world is that thing.
That is a giant tank zombie hurry and enter the room it just came from and grab a weapon
to defeat it.
What are you and what do you mean zombie.
AAAaaa.
What's going on? What are these images of people?
Hey there another person in here and a TANK everybody gets back now.
Hurry, or those people will not make it.
Okay, but what am I supposed to do? I can't defeat that thing all by myself.
Just believe in yourself, and then you will find the strength to defeat that monster.
Ok, I'll try to defeat it.
I took off for the room, and some of the people saw me and distracted the tank by
shooting at it, keeping its attention off me.
Thanks to them I made it into the room full of random tools, parts, and other things you
would find in an auto shop.
But even there was a room with a red iron door locked down.
Well now, what should I do?
…
So I guess I am on my own on this one.
I started to collect everything I could for anything but all of a sudden a message popped
up.
Would you like to collect everything in this room?
Where did this come from, this is the real world right or what …
AAaaa.
What are these images is no this can't be we're stuck in games and what's this.
What would you like to make from everything you have collected.
Um, a torch if possible.
Cutting torch added to inventory.
What this is a game but I must hurry because death doesn't feel like a game here.
I cut down the metal rods locking the door.
Inside was a vast arsenal of weapons that would make the guns like play toys compared
to them.
Now what, I don't know which one has the better effect on that tank out there.
Any will be infected you could defeat it barehanded if you wanted to.
What can't be that thing is enormous, and it's way stronger than me many times over.
I eat those for breakfast, and you were able to defeat me; you surely jest that you are
weaker than that thing.
What I did, how I don't remember anything at all.
What you say you don't know who I am.
No, I remember your voice, but I don't know who you are at all.
What the AI must have wiped your memory's this is going to be harder than I thought
just to auto collect everything in that room and use the most potent weapon.
Ok, auto-collect and equip the best weapon.
Accepted add, added, add, and complete.
Equipping legendary weapons equipped are you sure.
Yes.
Welcome back Matthew, Lord of my land.
What was that? I don't know your voice.
You shouldn't I be the lady druid on this forest map in the now desert wasteland.
What do you mean?
You have entered the multiplayer version of this world, and you defeat the monster and
zombie levels all on your own. So I automatically boosted you up to the max level and unlocked
all weapons for you, and I was hiding in the room weighing for you to notice me, but then you
had the power to consume everything in the room you were currently in. So I am now a part of
your armory which doesn't mind because you seem to have two of them now. Hurry up now, or
you'll be left behind, and it was nice to meet the all-powerful Matthew. It's time to wake up
though or else you'll be gone.
Hey, are you ok?
What…
He's awake.
What is your name please tell me your name.
Maa…
What?
Tthhee…
We're losing him again.
…
…
Several miles from the old garage to a former military base in Nevada are on the map.
I was out for three months and once I finally woke up.
Jump awake.
Where am I, what's happening, what happened to the tank?
And why does my head hurt so much?
Once the tank was taken out, all my memory had started to return as it had them on him;
somehow the AI made it that way.
Tempest where she is, and Hank plus all the other monsters that I tamed during that time.
Whoa, whoa I don't know who you're talking about but we will help you in any way
possible, but we need to know a little about what's going on here.
What do you mean that's what I just asked you.
That is true, but you seem to have a better understanding of what is going on here than
most of us.
Well yes but I need to know what you all know first because if I reveal something before
I should it will have some bad outcomes that I don't want to be blamed on me.
Really.
Yes, I lost three friends to it.
Seems to be telling the truth they all know they're stuck in a game, but that's about it, and
from the sounds of it the total time so far has been three years and two months and nine days.
Ok, I think you all can learn everything I know about this problem.
I informed them all about what I have learned from Hank and Clayton the thing that I
have done, and they all seemed a little doubtful, but most were amazed at what I have told them.
In the batch, I could say the leaders were most concerned.
So what you are saying is that AI has done this and it even defeated you in battle.
Yes and no the AI did not even show himself to me in full once yet I only threatened a
clone of him. What defeated me was the most massive nuke in the world of games to my face,
but even then I clearly was not beaten but knocked out then the AI locked my memoirs into that
tank you all beat for me.
What you did mister.
Yes, a little boy and what might your name be.
It's none of your business what my son's name is to you, stranger…
Wait I think I know that voice.
It was, it was, Axe right.
How do you know my name monster?
Who are you?
Your voice to it couldn't be Jim is that you.
Mine as well this can't be just a fluke there is only one person that knows the other two
that came in here with us. As well as the name Clayton which is one of our friends that AI
supposedly defeated.
That would be Max and Brad right, that is I think he's here, but I still haven't seen him
anywhere yet.
Matthew is that you.
Yes, that is who I am, who you are.
You just said our names.
You sure I don't remember saying anything.
No sorry just thought you did look like our friend but I guess not.
Get over here numb skull, it's me, it felt like years ever seen I have seen you guys what
have you been up to.
Well, when the game started, we were all five of us, but we thought Brad had stayed in
the real world because you only had the four of them. Then we thought he brought the portable
one, so we all didn't mind. The first map we did was New York which was terrific but before we
even got to kill anything we all got kicked to multiplayer and you and Brad were gone.
We were so confused and lost for the longest time we forgot we were even in a game
until this group of military people showed up, and we got our stuff back together. That's about it
until we saw that monster was starting to spawn into this world. Then a massive explosion and
endless amounts of earthquakes shook the world. Until the final one which revealed an enormous
city and it was New York and bright light, then the shock wave from the explosion rushed over
us in the military base but a shield blocked it from entering for a year it stayed up but then it
went away.
Then we meet you, and now we're finally back together.
Did you see any three figures or a large stone pillar anywhere?
Yes and no a pillar was there but no figures why.
Nothing, just some enemies.
Ok, so Matthew do you know where Brad is at.
No, when I left, I was by myself from the beginning of all these, so I guess Brad is
somewhere else for all I know.
Ok, I guess you want to meet all the leaders and the rest of us as well.
Yes, that will be best, but we can't stay here for long.
Why?
Because this place is not safe with me here.
WHAT!
The people around me all pointed their guns at me ready to fire.
Why is it not safe with you here?
Because if I stay here monsters way stronger than the Tank will come and I can't protect
you all.
What that only happens when a level two-fifty comes here and two months later at that
but nothing has come after you came here.
That's the problem I am above the max in this game as I am above admin controls and I
also have those as well.
What you know about the creator of this game.
Remember it was not the creator of this game; that is why you are here; it is the AI.
What you're above the Admin, so you're on par with the AI.
I wouldn't say that because he has created a monster that is stronger than me in some
games as in the three figures I asked you about.
O so that's why you asked.
Yes, but we need to get a move on please to take me to the head counsel so that I can
figure out a plan of attack for this game mode. It's better to plan anyway because the world is
about to rain down hell on us if we stay here.
Let the head console meeting begin now.
First of all welcome Matthew from the land of monsters.
