"...!?" He exits the room, only to see two people. Standing towards the left is a broad man. He had lighter brown hair styled in a faded lineup. Standing to his right was a large man with sharp features and long, straight blond hair. However, there was something odd about these two. Ah, that's it, they're wearing nothing but a loincloth!
"..." Finn stares in complete disbelief at the scene strawn out in front of him, two men, once again I state, wearing nothing but a loincloth. The man on the left notices him. "Ah, it seems you finally arrived, we've been waiting for- Hey- wait don't!" Finn's door creaks shut as he retreats back into his room out of pure instinct. "Just...just no…"
*Knock Knock*. A deep voice speaks out. "Hey, kid? We know this looks pretty bad. We promise this isn't what it looks like." In Finn's mind, this looks like a LOT of things, none of which is he very interested in.
Another voice seeps through the door. "Look, we didn't exactly predict that our clothes would vanish when we chose to have no armor." Finn 'calmly' responds.'Why would you ever think to choose no armor in the first place?" There is silence for a few moments. Then the first voice regretfully responds, "You see, we thought it would make the game more fun…" Finn is again in disbelief at the pure stupidity of this situation he's found himself in. "What part of this seems fun to you?" Finn could feel the men's shame through the door.
The first voice, the man that was on the left, pipes up. "We should at least introduce ourselves… My name is Rowen, Rowen Sanders, and I'm 19 years old. I used to be an athlete, so hopefully, I can be of some assistance in combat." The next voice, likely the man on the right, also introduces himself."My name is Kevin Hayze. I'm 18 years old, and there is no athletic background to speak of, but I'll be sure that I pull my weight." seems they aren't as perverted as Finn first suspected. Finn takes the chance to introduce himself as well. "The names Finn Larson. I used to do kendo, if that's of any help. It's nice to meet you. "
The door creaks open. "So where exactly are we?" Finn inquires. Rowan, seeming just as unknowing as Finn, responds, "No clue to be honest." Kevin announces."There used to be about 6 of us, but they all left without us. Understandable considering we're naked and can't use weapons."
"Can't use weapons…why?" Finn asks, concerned. The men glance at each other. Kevin swipes his arm in the air, and a blue screen appears in front of Finn. it appears to be a short list. The word "achievements" is at the top. There are several entries.
Enthusiastic! - unlocked by choosing YES!!!, no effects, "we appreciate your enthusiasm."
Masochist… - unlocked by refusing to start items, +10 defense, you can't use weapons, "You asked for this."
No. - unlocked by attempting to refuse starting affinities, no effect, "Stop."
"Huh, so you're going to beat this 'game' with your bare hands? Actually… that reminds me, what is this game? The weird blue screen didn't really specify.'' Based off his surroundings, Finn was sure that this was at the very least some sort of fantasy game. He assumed it'd be pretty cliche. Something along the lines of saving the world from the demon king.
Rowen shrugged his shoulders as he said, "Well, there's only one way to find out, and it's through that door." Finn looks in the doors direction. They walk up to the door. Finn gulps before he says, "This is it…" Are you two ready?" Rowen and Kevin nod their heads nervously. He takes one deep breath before reaching for the door handle. He swings the door open and cautiously looks around. It appears to be a hallway. At the end of the hallway is another room which he can't quite make out the details of from this far away.
Finn enters the room… glop. A slime falls from the ceiling above him and lands directly on his head, submerging it in goo. "I ca…n't brea..the" Rowen and Kevin quickly come to his aid, trying their hardest to rip the slime off. Finn feels his consciousness slipping away as his thoughts begin to race. "Is this how I'm gonna die? Drowning in slime?." they manage to tear the slime from his face moments before he fully succumbs to it. It plops on the floor. Finn falls to his knees, gasping for air. "Huff.. huff.." Rowen yells for him to run back to the inn, but Finn can't hear him. Even if he could, he doesn't have the strength to stand. The slime begins to slink towards him.
They quickly grab Finn and drag him back into the inn before slamming the door. "Holy shit dude, are you okay!?" Finns breathing steadies. "Yeah, im.. I'm okay…" The room is filled with a deafening silence, broken only by heavy breathing. The silence lasts for a few moments, though it felt much longer.
