Matilda was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She hugged her computer, playing games, clearing dungeons, fighting bosses, and even ordered fried chicken along with two cans of beer.
Twenty minutes later, right when the dungeon boss's health was nearly gone, the doorbell rang. Matilda thought the takeout had arrived, so she quickly told her in-game guildmates she would grab the food and return soon.
As soon as Matilda opened the door, she said, "Master, you arrived so quickly. Wasn't it supposed to take at least half an hour...?"
Her last two words hung in the air as she looked outside with suspicion, because no one was there. Did she hear wrong? Had no one come?
Matilda stuck her head out, looking left down the hallway. It was empty. Just as she was about to look to the right, her vision went dark, and someone covered her mouth. Before she could react, she was pushed inside the door.
Matilda was shocked, her eyes almost popping out.
