Xi's In Trouble

Xi and Mitsuru were troubled. Zero_Nocturnal was ganking them all! And they could not get him to stop! They went back to Xi's place to decide their next course of action. On this day, they decided to go to McHappyLand's and eat and drink while Zero_Nocturnal was harassing them all online in the world of Eve, and here as well, because this was not their plan for the day, or for their lives.

They were barely surviving as he cut through them coldly, like the Chinese laborer does to some shares in the shawl market, or as the teacher does to cut costs in the classroom when the Chinese government does not hold up its end on the bargain and give them all they need to do business with the Chinese nation of subservient students who just want to have this time of Eve and Zero_Nocturnal designed to be fairer to the Chinese community of Eve players, which Zero_Nocturnal inhabits as well, and he is not listening, as he is not quelling the fears of their Eve characters being fairly treated as a matter of fact. Zero_Nocturnal was still in the snow fields. He was standing above the dead players, and he had a death count of over 150,000 before the war would be won. He had been sitting idly by, it seemed, as he moved around some, but he was hacking, and did not actually seem to be legally targeting anything. He was demolishing their franchise. They would lose all their hard work to this new king of the uncool the universe had decided to share with them for the advance of the loss of the Chinese community of Eve. They were not being allowed to use the service as advertised in their terms of service. It said hackers would be banned. He was probably playing the game from some place in China. They could just call the police and have him removed from this ignorant movement he was on the field playing.

They called the Chinese police in Xi Yuan and they agreed to research the issue. They found the player's house. He answered the door and went with them. He was asked to stop, soundly and justly, and his player did not leave the world. When he got back home he went back to doing what was irking all of them and would not, he said by continuing to play this way, stop his actions that were bothering the community enough that they had even collectively tried to silence him from causing these shenanigans any further, because they were collectively wrong, and the community did not like this very much at all. He was denounced as the wrong party in their community, but he was still a part of it as well as the others in and offline in Eve, and online as well, and their servers which only mattered as there was one of them, and it was full of players, almost to the maximum it could hold, and all of them were being destroyed by Zero_Nocturnal and his machinations. He was again cancelled by the company of the community, and they found him guilty of being a burden. He was granted to leave the community. They told him that he could continue playing, but he had to be nicer to other people. He was given no debasement, and they kept on pestering each other through the same community he and Xi and Mitsuru and Yuan and everyone else was a part of. He had stopped their ganking and he was not alone in being stopped from never ganking anyone else. Some players tried to stay far away from Zero_Nocturnal. But they were killed as well. He had the highest death count you could have, or one could have, the community termed the event the death count high five. He had over 150,000 people locked in a stalemate death match, and he was not going anywhere. The company who was responsible for policing this mess was not intervening correctly. Xi and Mitsuru were courteously telling the police that this was really a big issue, and they felt it was really bad. The police tried their best to stop Zero_Nocturnal. And in the end, they could not get him to stop his illegal hacking abilities from working, nor could they stop him from ganking them all in the opposite community from his high perch. The police tried and tried, but he was not being stopped. He was totally, unfathomably, to the community he was a part of and counted as one of its members, as the number of players online, might count him as well, but he could be online and not be seen in the records as well as ever having been there, online at a certain hour. He was slowly killing them all. He kept his character there and it was ganking them all, killing them in the snow fields while the penguin monsters and the fished jumped about, and the old women called for help from their homes and even Zero_Nocturnal would not relent, and would not back down, and was not in the chat room saying much more than a few times saying things. He was not very talkative. He said he was not considering back down from his plan to ruin th game for everyone. He was eventually targeted, but that person discovered he had a life hack active that kept his health from not going back up again. He could not have it keep him at full health. He was eventually defeated and Xi cheered. He had logged in and ground his character back up, which was a term the community used to say he solo leveled until he was at the apex of his power, and he alone had defeated Zero_Nocturnal, who was dead now and lying down in the dirt, or rather the snow field, which was flat and had old women saying things in Chinese on the outskirts of the land, where the ocean was far away and slightly oddly, there were crabs in an icy land that seemed to be fine living there.
