“I’m glad I save you before you could die from your suicide attempt. There’s no need to worry; I’ve given you a second chance in life.” The last thing that a boy named Claudia remembered was jumping off a bridge to end his own life, but now he’s woken up in the world of Serial Slain, his favorite MMORPG. For years, he had been playing the video game, eventually reaching the top five of the North American leaderboards. He had no real-life friends and seldom spoke to his family, so Serial Slain was his only solace in life. But one day, he loses his only in-game friend, he gets betrayed during a dungeon raid, and he loses all his progress, including every level and item. With no other purpose in life, Claudia committed suicide. His attempt was a failure, and it rendered him paralyzed and cognitively deficient. Luckily, a woman named Virgil gave him the chance of a lifetime by hooking up his brain to a fully immersive VRMMORPG, Serial Slain 2.0—a new update to the original game. Now, as a Tester of the new VRMMORPG, Claudia must defeat the final boss or risk returning to the reality that he hated. Just when he thought he was living his ideal reality, he soon realizes that even the video game world has its fair share of sorrow and suffering. . .

Chapter 55: To Live on One's Knees

"So be it. I guess that means I'll have to reveal my little trick."

Sakimi went to cast a spell, but I held her back.

"We can't destroy the train," I said.

"My bad. You're right."

Any misplaced shot would put our lives in danger. The same thing went for Marigold. If one of her arrows struck a window or a thin section of the armor, we would be done for. The heat would get inside and turn the car into an oven.

"Typhon," I said, handing him Laevateinn. "Let's take her down."

"You honor me with your weapon, Ares. Let's do this. Two on one shouldn't be a problem."

Aisling picked up her sword, but she struggled to raise it. Even still, she spoke with confidence, saying, "Two on one? I think you guys should recalculate the odds. Come out, father!"

Wisps of smoke emerged from Aisling's sword, turning into a menacing shadow knight. It didn't wear a helmet, revealing the ghostly face of a bearded war general underneath."
