VRMMORPG: DREAMSCAPE

Original Title was 'VRMMORPG: DREAM ONLINE' ----- Roman was 19 years old when the game VRMMORPG: DREAMSCAPE went public. The game was an instant hit. With 500,000 new accounts by the end of the first week to nearly 20 million accounts by the end of the month. The game was so popular among parents because of how real it felt. It would even scan your body and make your character look just like you. That meant that kids who were out of shape would be out of shape in game. This motivated many kids to stay active and also made parents very happy. For the gamers though, it was the perfect game. A game that had everything. Quests! Dungeons! Monsters! Pvp! What really sold it though was the leveling system. The system allowed you to level up anything you wanted. You want to be an archer? Grab a bow and level up! You want to be an archer with a sword? Grab a sword and level up! You want to bake cookies and sell it to the rich? Grab the ingredients and level up! You want to be able to talk your way out of any situation? Start talking and level up! Over the course of a year, the game kept growing and growing. Eventually even government officials had to take part in the game. It stayed this way for a year. After one entire year, the game had gone offline. No one knew why or when it will be back. After one week, on that day, we all knew why it didn’t come back online. PATCH NOTES 1: THANK YOU FOR COMPLETING THE TUTORIAL. - Author’s Note: I took inspiration from other books on this site that are written in the same genre. I also took inspiration from the real mmorpgs that I have played. I plan to have this story be about 50/50. The time spent in the game and in real life will be about the same. Some arcs may only be in the game while others are only in real life. Please be patient with these arcs if they aren’t your favorite!

Hell in a Cave

A/N: Some scenes may be uncomfortable for some readers! You have been warned.

-

"WARNING! Player 'Romeo' has absorbed '3x Water Ball Spells' using 'Beelzebub'. Player 'Romeo' does not have the requirements to properly absorbed them. Player 'Romeo' will be stunned for 1 minute as a result of the backlash. Player 'Romeo' has 5 minutes to get to a safe place before the backlash occurs!"

'Damn it! I need to end this quickly.'

Roman took his sword and slashed the fat man's head, separating it from his body. He then took his sword and began to clean it. He did all of this without saying anything.

The other bandits couldn't take it anymore after the silent Roman ignored them. One of them tried to negotiate with him.

"Please young master. Now that our boss is dead, could you let us go?"

Roman looked up at the man that spoke and snickered.

"You were the one that threatened the slaves though right? You'll force them to watch as you played with their daughters and wives?"

The man began to sweat. He tried to make himself as small as possible. He ended up regretting what he had said. His regret would only last for a second.

"You sick fuck."

Roman increased the pressure around the man that spoke and he immediately exploded. His guts and blood splattered his bandit friends. The other bandits let out a cry. They didn't expect to see that.

Roman didn't stop there, he also did the same thing and ended five more bandits' lives. The remaining six sat there shaking. They remained on their knees.

"Please young master! Tell us what you want and we will help you!!!"

Roman had completely broken their mental state. They were all ready to talk to him.

"Tell me everything about your hideout."

The bandits hesitated. They were crooked and arrogant people but they couldn't bring themselves to sell out their own. One of them though, quickly accepted and raised his hand. Roman pointed at him.

"You will?"

The man nodded. The others looked at him with hate. They couldn't believe how quickly he agreed. Roman smiles and looks at the rest of the men.

"So long."

Five more bodies were added to the pile. The last one left felt a sense of relief knowing that he lived.

'I will avenge you my brothers.'

The bandit promises to kill Roman once he was freed. Roman approached the bandit.

"Tell me everything about your hideout. Don't leave out any details."

"But young master. You have to promise me that you will let me live. I can't tell you without your promise."

"You have my word."

With Roman's reassurance, the bandit began spilling everything. As he kept going on, Roman's face darkened more. As the bandit finished he looked at Roman, hoping that he keeps his end of the deal.

"Thank you."

The bandit smiles, thinking that he was free now. Roman however, had other plans. The bandit noticed that the pressure around him had suddenly increased.

"You promised! You fucken bastard! You promised!!"

Roman just shrugs.

"There's no way you actually thought that I would let you leave."

The bandit joined his brothers in the afterlife soon after. As the last bandit fell, Roman saw the warning once again.

"Warning! Players 'Romeo' has 30 seconds to find a safe location. Player 'Romeo' will be stunned and unable to move for one minute!"

When he saw this, he moved over to the bushes again. As he reached his spot, his body suddenly stiffened up. He felt a numbing pain all over his body. His body fell over on it's own. As he fell, he saw that the slaves had all escaped.

'At least it was worth it in the end.'

-

As the stun wore off, Roman slowly sat back up.

"I guess I shouldn't absorb anymore spells. I need to figure out what the requirements are first before attempting it again."

As he rested, he reviewed everything that the bandits told him.

"Currently, there are four guards on duty. Unfortunately, they're most likely ignoring their duties and having "fun" with their captured slaves. The bandit leader is currently in the cave. He should have two guards with him. The leader should be Beginner Rank while all the guards are Unranked."

They have no treasure room since the leader keeps everything in his room.

Overall, it shouldn't be a hard task. The most difficult part would be taking out the guards without catching the slaves in the cross fire. Roman quickly devised an attack strategy and left for the cave.

Inside the Cave

"Hurry the hell up man! I'm itching to go next! I'm tired of holding her down!"

"I'm almost done!"

Inside a certain area of the cave, three men were having their fun. Two of them held down a girl while the third forced himself onto her.

The girl was no older than 16. At first she had cried out for help. Asking for her mother, father and brother but no one answered her cries. The three men relished in her tears. The third man started hitting her. Her cries grew weak as time passed and eventually she had given up hope and stopped fighting.

"Ohhh!"

"Finally man! Hurry let's switch!"

As the three men did their thing, a fourth was off to the side. He was currently looking at the "stock" of slaves they had. It ranged from mothers and daughter to little orphans. The man's gaze searched through the crowd. All of the slaves huddled together, fearing that they would be chosen. After a minute, he seemed to have chosen his victim.

"Come here!"

The man had dragged out a little boy with silver hair, the boy was no older than 10 years old. The boy said nothing, he didn't even fight it. Only a single tear rolled down his face. This ended up excited the man even more.

"I like your kind. They always act tough in the beginning!"

The man began to undo his pants. He even brought the boy close to him and licked his tears.

"HAHAHA! I love this!!"

The man was about to explode from excitement but a horrified scream stopped him in his tracks. He turned around to see a sword sticking out of one of the guards.

The guard looked down, not fully comprehending why the sword was there. He slowly turned around and saw Roman standing behind him. He only heard Roman mutter one thing.

"Scum."

Roman shot his lighting through the sword, completely electrocuting and frying the man. He pulled the sword up and out, making sure to that the guard felt the pain. He then beheaded him.

The other two guards that were holding the girl immediately tried to run away. Roman was faster though. He increased the gravity force around the two men and they fell down. He increased the force even more, starting from their feet and making its way up. By doing this he made sure to shatter all their bones, slowly torturing them with the pain. It wasn't long before they were also turned into paste.

The last guy had grabbed the boy and used him as a hostage.

"Let me go… or this kid gets it!!"

Roman didn't give the man anymore time. He instantly killed him by destroying his head. The body fell down with a thud. The boy with silver hair quickly got up and ran back to where the others were.

Roman turned his attention back to the girl. He tried asking her questions but she didn't respond. Roman sighed. He has seen these type of people after the PATCH NOTES went live. Roman hands her his sword. She sees it and quickly accepts it. She looks up at Roman with gratitude and then ends her own suffering.

The older woman shielded the younger ones from the gruesome scene. Roman picks up his sword and throws it at the group.

"If anyone else finds it too difficult live on, finish it yourself. I can not make that choice for you."

Roman then turns to leave. As much as he wants to save everyone, he can't force them to continue if they no longer have the will. He can only promise that he will bring them justice.
