Despair

Hours had passed, but they felt like an eternity.

His eyes were hollow with no sign of life. Was he dead? No. He was experiencing something far worse than death—something that couldn't be mustered into words—his sanity dwindled, and his mind faltered.

He laid on his back, staring at the stone ceiling above him, as a female leaned forward, blocking his view, and staring him in the eyes.

He could see her expression… it was… joy?

It was as if she was enjoying what she was doing.

Legolas watched Alice force him against his will, riding him from below.

It was obvious what was happening, but Legolas couldn't do a thing about it.

The fraud Phantom Mutiny watched as if this was some sick joke.

"Hey, what's wrong? You don't seem to be enjoying it. Well… it is my first time." Alice seductively whispered.

Legolas' hollowed eyes would gently close, as he could hear the sound of Alice moaning.

Tears would seep from his eyes, rolling down his cheeks… Legolas reached his mental limit, he couldn't take it anymore.

"Uwaaaaaaghhhhh!!" He opened his jaw, screaming with all his might, mustering as much strength as possible to turn to his side, "Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!!" He shouted, attempting to push Alice off of him, but she pinned him down, "Enough!!! E-Enough!!!"

"Oh c'mon, what's wrong? Don't be so shy…~" She started moving even faster, "I know you like it, right?"

"Stop it! Stop itttt! Uwaaaaghhhh!!!" Legolas cried… he wanted someone to make it stop…

But no one came to help.

"Alice, once you're done, bring him to the surface. We'll be waiting for you." Proclaimed Isabella.

"Yes mam, I will do so right away." Alice extended her hand forward, placing her palm against Legolas' cheek, "It looks like you are about to reach your limit. Are you ready to put a baby in me?" She smiled, tilting her head to the side.

Legolas looked up at her… quivering in his lips as he reminisced about the old times they had together.

Her smile… It reminded him so much of when they hung out with one another, enjoying this world and its inhabitants.

But now, her smile was for something different…

Legolas clenched his fists, rolling his eyes into the back of his head, "I-I'm… gonna… no! No!! No!!!"

"Release it all inside me."

"Alice… stop! Stop it…! Someone stop this, please!!!"

"Unn~! Aaah~!" Alice leaned her head back, moaning from the pleasure.

Legolas cried, unable to see the ceiling any longer. Tears blocked his view, as he finally climaxed.

"Now then, bring him back to life, we're waiting on you, Dorothy."

Isabella was next to Dorothy, as the other members of their group stood behind them, waiting for their next plan; to bring Jacob back and brainwash him into following their orders.

"A-Alright…" Dorothy held onto the magic staff inside her hands, pointing it in front of her, "Augment Magic, Undead Retrieval!"

Utilizing Augment Magic allows the user to amplify a spell to its maximum potential, increasing its potency even more than before.

Undead Retrieval was a C-tier spell that allows the player to resurrect those who have died, turning them into a zombie.

Two magical circles appeared, separated from one another.

One was in the air facing the other one which was on the ground.

They started to glow in crimson red, as magical energy accumulated in between them both. Data particles would conjoin together, slowly creating a humanoid body.

"Very good job, Dorothy, with you and your Necromancy Magic, we can complete anything together." Pronounced Isabella.

"Th-Thank you… Miss Isabella."

Jacob's body came into view, as his soul was restored once more.

He was now an undead, belonging to the volition of Dorothy.

"I-I'm back…? But how? I thought I… died?" Jacob glanced at his hands, and then gazed at the grass beneath him, "I'm standing outside? Does that mean…" Before he could finish his words, he looked up, seeing the fraud Phantom Mutiny, "…No… it can't be… it can't be you people! Not again!!!"

"Greetings, Jacob, it's good to see that the spell worked, even on your soul. I expected things to work differently, considering our souls are fused with our Game Avatars, but I see nothing has changed." Announced Isabella.

"I'll kill you… I'll kill you all!!!" He clenched his fists, walking forward, but suddenly stopped, "What the…?" He couldn't leave, he was trapped between each magical circle, "What's going on…!?"

"Dorothy here revived you, and now you're an undead belonging to her volition. Everything that she says, you must do, and if you defy her, she will punish you greatly for it."

"…I'm… an undead?" He looked at himself once more, staring at his hands, "But I look… the same."

"Glance at your health bar, located in the upper right corner of your field of vision. You'll see for yourself." Said Isabella.

"Wha-" Jacob gazed at his health bar, realizing it was empty, "No… it can't be… w-why did the resurrection work? A-Aren't we supposed to completely die once our game avatars perish?"

"As I said before, I'm surprised as well, Jacob. But it looks like the spells in this world can also interact with our souls. It's a shame, your life now belongs in the hands of the Phantom Mutiny."

"Be a good boy, and listen to my every command…" Muttered Dorothy.

"B-But what about… Alice… and Legolas? Where are they? Did you kill them?" Asked the worried Jacob.

"No, fortunately, we haven't." Responded Isabella.

"Then, where the hell are they?! I don't see them anywhere!!"

Crunch—Crunch—Crunch…

Leaves were heard being stepped on, as a girl walked from the underground ruins, holding someone by their hair.

"Ah, it seems they arrived. That was quick, did you enjoy yourself?" Asked the smug Isabella while she approached them.

"Yes mam, I enjoyed myself. The same for him as well, right Legolas?" Alice looked behind her, seeing the naked Legolas gaze at the ground, hollow inside his eyes, "For some reason he doesn't wanna talk, did I do something wrong?"

"No dear, you did just what Lord Belial asked of you." Isabella approached the two naked players, opening her personal hub to bring forth a set of clothes, "Here, put these on. Cover yourself before you catch a cold."

"Yes mam…" Alice dropped the limp Legolas, proceeding to place the clothes on her body.

"…Who are they?" Jacob looked from afar, unable to see the two naked players… he was confused, "More guild members?" He asked himself.

"No… I'm afraid not."

But to his surprise, Dorothy was standing next to him, holding onto her staff.

"…How did you get here so fast?"

"I don't know…" She shyly responded.

"Wait a minute…" Jacob widened his eyes, feeling his undead heart unable to pulse like before, "Th-That's… Alice…"

"Yes, that is Alice."

"What's she doing naked?!"

"…."

"Why are you quiet? Answer me!!! What did you guys do to Alice?!" Shouted the distressed Jacob.

Dorothy slowly approached him, standing on her tippy toes, and whispering into his ear.

"...…" Jacob could hear every word.

He closed his eyes, shaking his head in denial.

"…No… no!" He started to cry, tears trailing down his cheek, "You're lying, that couldn't have happened… not Alice! Alice would never do something like that!" He pushed Dorothy to the side, "Not her! Don't you ever lie about her like that again! Alice… I love her… She would never do such a thing! I know Alice more than anyone!"

Dorothy stumbled back, tilting her witch hat over her eyes, "I'm sorry… but it is the truth."

"…Grghhhh…" Jacob's legs started to shake like flimsy twigs, and he fell to his knees, "…God… why?!" His lip trembled as he covered his eyes with his arm, "Why…?"

Dorothy looked down at him with sorrow in her eyes.

She reached her hand forward, placing it against his shoulder in comfort.

"Alice!!! Huaaaaaaa! Waaaaaaa!!" Jacob fell forward, slamming his forehead into the grass. He wailed in agony, feeling his body tremble in torment.

Dorothy's hand remained on his shoulder, and her eyes appeared saddened, ("He's not pushing my hand away… that must mean he's under great stress. His body must feel numb.")

Dorothy closed her eyes, and stood back up, taking her hand from his shoulder.

She didn't wanna bother him any further.

Jacob continued to cry, catching the attention of the fraud Phantom Mutiny around them.

"Jacob?"

But… all of a sudden… a voice would reach his ears.

He knew this voice more than anyone.

His crying would halt, as snot would ooze from his nose, looking up to see… her.

"…Alice…?" Jacob sniffled through his nose, seeing her beautiful smile once more, "Y-You're… really Alice… right?"

"Yup, it's me! I missed you so much Jacob, You had me worried, I thought you died. I endured a lot to bring you back! It goes to show how much I love you!" She crouched to her knees, wrapping her arms around his waist.

"Y-You… love me?""

"Of course I do, silly. You confessed your love for me, remember? I felt the same way this whole time!"

"Alice… y-you loved me from the beginning?"

"Yup, and now you're all mine. Jacob, let's start a family together, we'll be the happiest parents that this world has ever seen, okay?!"

"...Alice…" Jacob hugged her back, digging his face into her shoulder, "Alright… I'll stay by your side, forever."

"Uwaaa…" she gasped, feeling her cheeks become red, "Ehehehe, okay! You belong to me for eternity!"

"Yes… I do… for eternity…"
