Is this Really Happening?

They pick up all the chips cards and count the gold and purple ones. They come up with a total of 14. They place all the rest in nice stacks back into the safe. Looking at the rings he inspects them.

Zander sits down and is pondering the best way to distribute his skill points. He knows that strength is an obvious one for close quarters combat. Something he was very good at in the Marines. Dexterity is a tricky one for him as he knows it deals with stealth, stealing, and movements. If he really wanted to be an assassin like he liked to play in his video games then he would obviously choose that stat; however, he doesn't know if that's a wise choice yet. He's assuming that energy is used for completing tasks and running for long periods of time. He's not sure what good that stat is right now. Charisma he knows is for getting the ladies and sweet talking his way out of stuff. He doesn't see the harm in being a smooth talker. Luck, the only reference he has to luck is extra loot which isn't bad if he's a thief which makes him smile. He knows without a doubt that he needs perception if he wants to stay alive. He knows that he can't put all his eggs in one basket as the old saying goes and he doesn't have enough to put one in each category as he has six stats and not five. 'Kris you bitch, why can't you give me six skill points instead of the five. You hate me don't you. This is your payback for letting you die'.

'Zander you're stupid you know that right? I don't make the rules, Lola does. You want to bitch at someone then fucken bitch at her you dumbass. Hahahahaha, I could just take away all your skill points you know. If I had a face you could see my smile'.

'Okay, I want you to put +1 in strength, +2 in perception, +1 dexterity, and +1 charisma please Kris'.

Zander's newest stats.

He's happy for now with his well roundedness. He feels that he's not too over powering in one area which to him feels great. Deep in thought, Jessee whispers into his ears that she's going to go crash in the nice big bed and that he should get some rest too. He nods to her.

She looks at the ring as she walks off to bed.

Left alone once again with his thoughts he ponders why he hasn't seen anyone only weird animals. He drifts off to sleep.

He wakes up in front of Lola with a start.

"So I see you have already gotten yourself a lover, a house, a car, and a fat bank account. Are you happy with your new life or do you want a different life? I will only offer you the chance to choose another existence this one time".

"Wait. What?" He shakes his head. "Are you telling me this is only like a demo"?

LAUGHING, "yes and no. I would have expected you to die within your first 24hours. Congratulations on surviving this long. You are the first mortal human to do such a feat. As a reward you will find a new skill when you wake up. So do you want this life or do you want to start over again and I choose everything for you"?

Zander has to think for a second. "If I choose to start over then I lose all my progress and that amazing woman Jessee and Kris. If I don't start over then nothing happens to me and then what? Is this really happening"?

"Zander, Zander, Zander my little toy. Have I not been nice to you? I've made you the ruler of a whole planet. I have given you the best woman on the whole planet. What more do you need"?

"Where in the fuck are all the people on this planet? Also what's the big deal with only giving me 5 skill points for the daily quest when I have 6 different skills"?

"I could give you nothing for a reward you know. As for the people of your new planet let's just say the guys life you took over successfully wiped out 80 percent of the population which caused a massive reset. If you want I can give you a quest to find out what happened and repopulate the planet. What man wouldn't want to have sex with all the women of his dreams"?

"Sorry hunny but I'm a one woman man. Give me that quest and I'll even surpass your expectations. A great reset you say. Like how great of a reset"?

"All the weapons you have you can't sell. Not many people around. You'll have to rebuild the planet from the ground up. I'll give you... 1000 years to complete this quest. I won't tell you anything about it or how to complete it. Let's just say that I hope you kept that foot you cut off. You'll need it." She smiles evilly at Zander. "Don't die from the weird wildlife on the planet. I'd hate to have to start over with someone new. Now come here and kiss my feet for being so kind to you".

Zander gets down in front of her feet to kiss them. Grabbing onto her feet he has a question though "if I choose later to start over then I can right"?

"Hmmmm." She disappears and Zander is laying asleep in the same bed with Jessee.

.....

12 hours later they both wake up. Jessee gets out first before Zander fully wakes up. Zander's head hurts a lot, like he's been mule kicked. Holding his eyes he rolls to the side, falling onto the floor. 'Kris did you pick up that foot for me or did you leave it behind?' No answer. 'Hey Kris'! The foot comes out of storage and smack him on the lips. Then goes back into storage.

Kris is laughing at him. 'You like the taste of foot in the mouth first thing in the morning don't you because you really put the foot in the mouth'.

'Hahahaha very funny. Do you know why I would need that foot? I mean Lola was very strange when I talked with her'.

'Yeah, so I can slap you silly jackass. Why didn't you ask her if I could have a body instead of your head'?

'Never came up. Be happy to still be alive.' Zander slowly gets up from the floor and looks at Jessee who's still wearing the same cocktail dress from last night. She looks different to him, like she's more beautiful then yesterday. He walks over to her and takes her hand. The ring is still there so he knows that last night was no dream.

He walks into the workout room and begins his daily quests. After working out form about 30 minutes notifications start popping up in his vision.
