The Apocalypse-III Aftermath

If we switched worlds, it would make sense as to why everything feels so real and to why that arrow felt so painful.

Adi starts panicking, "That can't be, no I can't get stuck here, I have a family back in reality, a wife and a daughter. I c-can't get stuck here. Logout.. LOGOUT!!! GodDamnit!"

I fall down on my chair as Adi tries again and again to Logout, failing each time. Each time he fails, both our faces become gloomier. I don't know what to do. I put my head on the wall and start losing it just like Adi.

He looks to me and asks, "How, How can you be so calm at a time like this?"

I tell him, "You think I am calm? I am going through the same things as you right now. Even I am locked from my wife and kids. I am not calm right now. How can I be?"

"You're right. I may have been insensitive."

"Don't go too hard on yourself."

"No I won't, but I do have an idea, we get all the players together and make a temporary truce between all of us, in our camp. We can get those on the other side after this event. All of us together should be capable of raiding the damned arse who caused this."

I nod my head and say, "Yeah, and I am on the good side of lightning Gods. Maybe I can figure out what's happening if I get to Indra."

Adi says, "Go tomorrow. Don't waste anymore time. You can get exp by killing the others later on."

"Fair enough. I'll get going then. I'll be back within 48 hours. Make sure all the players are bound together in our camp. We want to live."

I pack up some food and walk out with my sword on my back and I hop call the Sarathi- the charrioteer of my chariot and we start moving out of the camp. As we are going out, I spot many riots, many people panicking, killing each other, most of the victims are NPCs.

One shout came from that part of people, "Look at that shithole NPC, going out on a chariot when we are all suffering. Let's kill him. Then we will all go together and take down the Maharathi and Atimaharathis."

I sigh in pity for them, attacking Atimaharathis. They block my way and scream, "LET'S SEE HOW YOU GET OUT NOW!!" They are unable to see my armor in the dark. I remove my sword and send energy through it illuminating the region. As they see my bloodied armor and sword, they realize who I am. The leader says, "Why are you going out now, when we need you? Why? Do you enjoy this place? Do you enjoy being away from your family?"

I calmly answer him, "I say not digging any of you. I am just going to Indra to get to know more of what happened here. Also, I don't enjoy being away from my family. You'd better keep your tongue in check you bloody mess."

"PERHAPS YOU DO, Bloody Azure, you are a murderer after all. You must have been a real life murderer who got his hands on this game. I'll murder you and gain exp as well. I will be doing Justice by offing you. KILL THIS BASTARD WHO IS ABOUT TO DITCH US FOR SOME EXP!!!!"

I facepalm myself. These guys are as dumb as they get. The leader comes at me at a slow pace. I jump off of my chariot and walk towards him. I separate my sword again and parry against his sword with my left and stab him in the stomach with the left sword and twist it in him. I whisper in his ears, "Don't you dare speak like that again. Also don't even think of showing your face in this region once more. If you do-" I make lightning course more powerfully thorough the sword stabbing him and twist it more as he screams in pain and terror. I continue, "Death will be there least of your worries. Pain was never a feature in the game was it, now-you can be one the first to experience it first hand!" I remove the sword and send Mana through my sword to send a lightning bolt through him as I bring my sword out. I then kick him in the stomach pushing him away and down as he disintegrates into greet dust to be reincarnated in Hastinapura. I look at the others in his his group who are trembling. I am not sure if it is fear or anger. Could be both. I ask, "Is there anyone else who wants to die?" They all said together, "We won't let you through, you asshole. You killed our Chief!" I walk towards them as they run towards me. The first guy attacks my neck which I duck from and move ahead and stab him from the back. The next two come together. I step towards the one on my right and stab him with my sword releasing a lightning bolt from it which got the other. I turned around and removed my sword from him. I call lightning from above to electrocute for guys who come near me. The last guy is pissing in his pants by now, hehe..... I laugh cynically and I combine my sword and go towards him. He swings his sword in panic which I easily sidestep and then I kick him in the gut and go near him and cut his sword hand off. I knew down beside him and take his neck in my hand and tell him, "I want you to stay here as an example of what happens to those who insult me." I throw him back down and call my charrioteer, "Let's get going. We need to get to the Himalayas"

Meanwhile, Aditya's POV,

I get out and first thing I see is the scene of Charles killing off some players and talking to someone. There are many people rioting right now. How in the hell am I supposed to get all of them together? Well, I know just how.

I walk down to the centre of the Pandava camp. I bring all the unused weapons of everyone from their camps. Being the strongest one talking part from this side, I get some privileges. I have all of them huddled at one corner of the battlefield. I have another group of people get the weapons, armor and clothing, collected from the other side. I have it brought to the centre of the camp and made into a conical camp fire like setting. I bring a chair and sit on it. I open a quiver from the bundle and use a flame arrow in the huddle and everything catches fire. I sit down on my chair and look up at the sky. A few minutes later people start thinking that it's their weapons and armor that's being burnt. They all come towards me, screaming in rage about how they had spent hard earned money on their weapons.

I stand up and scream, "Forget it! Forget all your weapons! Forget all your money! You're killing yourselves anyway! Kill your weapons as well. You know-" I make some fake sounds of sorrow, "I once had a dream- a dream that all of us would be peaceful. That one day, we all would come together in this game and that we would be the bearers of peace. I dreamt that my daughter who is no more than an year old, would one day look up to me for this, that one day, my daughter would be able to enjoy the game as I do, that one day, we would team up for a raid, but no. It's impossible now. This world is just as bad, no, it's WORSE than our world. I thought that my daughter would enjoy this place, that it would be a sanctuary from the boredom and idiocy of our world but now, seeing all of you... I just feel like getting rid of all of you and this game-even if I die with it, at least my daughter will live peacefully, away from places like this." I take out my golden quiver and throw it into the fire.
