4 Virtual Reality (Rewritten)
"Go to your rooms and search for some games we can play 'till the Beta of Yggdrasil is published," I told the two.
After they left his room he got to work. 'Let's see, we first need some experience in fighting and we have to train our reaction time. Hmmm, some shooter games would be fitting for that. And for our fighting experience...this one.'
I choose two games. The first one is an RPG named [Aria Online] and the second one is [Will to live]. I searched some more and found something like Mortal Kombat in better. Don't misunderstand me, MK is one of my favorites but this one here is just way more advanced.
And after another half an hour I went to check if the others finished searching as well. Yes, they did.
"So let's play that RPG one you found first and then that shooter. They look cool." Shamile said.
"Hm, ok let's go." I said as Valy nodded and everyone went to their room again to download the games and then play.
~
So after an hour of downloading while we watched something on Chillflix, this world's Netflix, we started.
I sat down on my new chair and put on my helmet. But before I lost consciousness...
"LINKU SUTATU!" You could hear that through the whole building.
"*sigh*" Then everything went black.
"Welcome to Aria Online we..." Bla bla bla.
"So I have to make a character now." After the voice finished introduce the game story and the main task to me which is in short version: There are four Kingdoms in a World called Aria, the Human kingdom, the elven kingdom, the demihuman kingdom, and the demon kingdom. Your main task is basically to help the kingdom you join in wars and quests to defeat the others.
After creating my character I look again and satisfied with it I type in a name and press play.
The character I made is a demihuman. A Lizardman to be exact. Well after reading through the description of every other race I concluded that this race would suit me well. By the way, my name is [Alduin]. In my last life, I used this name a lot, so I like it.
~
"So my task is to take out a human camp? And that alone too? Fuckin high-rank quest." You can see a black-scaled lizardman talking to a person that seems to be an npc. After starting this game David was so fascinated that he directly got hooked by the feeling of being in the game, and not just playing it. He and the others played it for two months straight. The only pause was for eating, sleeping, going to the toilet, or shopping. They also really made use of the infinite amount of money they have to get all the items in the shop of the game. And because of their fast leveling, they naturally became a bit famous. They were already in the top 100 in Japan server after only two months, but they decided that today, they would do one last high-rank quest and then play the other games they downloaded.
But now it says you have to do it alone. While I am pretty strong now, for a whole camp of humans I would need some serious planning before attacking.
"Let's just do it." David said.
~
So, after planning for a whole day I am finally ready to massacre them. Currently, I am hiding in some bushes with a clear view of the front guardians. Oh, what equipment I have you might ask. Well, I have, extra chosen for this mission a full black leather armor set which is enchanted with some illusion magic like [silence], a magic that makes every move you do noiselessly. As for my weapon, normally I would swing around a two-handed longsword but for this moment I need a bow. The bow is a black hunter's bow which also has some enchantments on it.
(Look paragraph comment for pictures)
As for the plan, it goes like this: Since I already memorized the routes the guards patrol I will quickly take out the two front guards without alerting the human soldiers in the camp. After I got in I will plant magic firebombs I bought in the shop behind every tent without getting noticed, get into safe distance, detonate the bombs by magic remote detonator and the surviving ones I will take down with the bow till I get noticed and fight with my longsword to the end. A pretty simple plan but I needed a whole day to study the guards and the tents locations, find and enchant my armor, and then go through possible countermeasures when the plan fails.
"Let's get started." I said as I aim at the one guard that just turned around and went to make a round.
I release the arrow and it shoots forward piercing the guards head after which he just falls on the ground dead. Now fast before the other one can turn around I quickly let loose another arrow that again pierced the head of the other guard.
"Ok, first hide the bodies and then plant the bombs." As I said that I rushed silently to the front of the camp and hid the bodies in some bushes. Then I turned around and cautiously made my way to the first tent.
I used a small illusion spell on myself to make me invisible for a minute before getting visible again.
So after placing the first bomb I looked around waiting for the patrol to come and pass by him. After they passed he made a roll and arrived at the next tent.
~
After repeating this process another eleven times I quickly but still stealthy began to move to the exit.
But then you could hear a whistling sound and suddenly an arrow pierced David's shoulder.
"Shit!"
'It must be another player because npc's shouldn't be able to locate me with all the illusions that are active on me. I've to get out of here and detonate the bombs before the soldiers get out of their tents!'
As I rush for the exit without minding if I am alerting the other soldiers nearby I can hear more of these whistling noises and knowing what they mean I make a roll to the side and start running again ignoring the several arrows that pierced the ground at the spot where he was running before he did that roll.
I finally reach the exit and keep running a bit more till I reach the woods before stopping, equipping the detonator, turning around and
*BOOM*
"Take that fuckers!" As I am happy for the success of the plan I still have to finish the soldiers and maybe even that other player who survived the explosion. I quickly hide in some bushes again and wait a moment before I see some soldiers with a blinking red HP bar above their heads stepping out of the fire. Two died after they stepped out because they all were still burning and the HP bars of those who died were the lowest.
'Now I only have to take them out with the bow and boom, I completed the quest.'
I ready my bow, draw an arrow, and let loose killing one of them. The other four were looking around searching for the one who did it but after finding no one around they just shrug it off.
"I must be imagining things." They said.
'This really reminds me of Skyrim.' I thought.
"The last one...Yess! EZ."
So after killing the other four I was happy that things went smoothly for me but I should just have shut up because right now you can see a burning person coming out of the fire.
"Shit, you're still here! Now I waited in the fire for nothing, great!" The person who said that is the player who shot at me. He has low HP, it's in the orange zone. But why did he wait in the fire? Hmm...
After looking clearer, he has the fire salamander coat equipped. This coat gives your burn resistance. But why didn't he heal himself and instead waited till he believed I was gone? There's one answer that comes to my mind...hehehe
"Ey dude, I didn't mean to shoot at you, ok? It was for a quest but look, how about we don't fight? Everyone keeps his life and items and we just go our ways, hm?"
"Hehehe..."
"W-what?"
"Why should I? It's obvious, that, you, don't, have, any, healing items hehe. And you look like a high-rank player, you should give some good experience points." As I said that I equipped my longsword and dashed at him while a smile emoji was flying above my head.
"W-wait! No!" He took some steps back but knowing that I wouldn't let him go he took out his bow and planned to fight me to the end.
