The sun was setting over the swamp as the players gazed upon the horrific scene in front of them. Alexandria had been devoured alive by the Queen Swamp Serpent, leaving the rest of them in a state of shock and horror. Liam, however, kept his composure as he was well-accustomed to seeing comrades and other people die back on Earth.
As they stood there, feeling helpless, suddenly a loud sound erupted from the distance. All of them tensed, not knowing what was about to happen. Then, out of nowhere, an axe plunged itself onto the head of a small serpent. It was a petite blue-skinned woman with short white hair. She exuded confidence and stood tall with a big smile on her face. The axe that she had thrown earlier went back to her hand as if it had a life of its own.
"The name is Axis!" She announced, pointing at herself. "I heard a commotion in this way. You can leave now, I will defeat all of these monsters by myself!" The other players were surprised but didn't complain.
The new arrival caught the attention of the remaining players. Suddenly, a silhouette appeared in the sky, leaping from the river and biting a serpent's head off. It was a 4-foot tall bipedal bulbous amphibian-like player.
"Hahahahaha!" The amphibian-looking player bursted laughing. "I am right. I felt something from my gills while surfing the water and went to check. This queen is going to be mine."
"Nah! Go home, fish! I found it first." Axis complained.
"I'm not a fish!!! I am a Murkee. Other race also called as Murloks. We are-"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever!" Axis interrupted. "Either we work together or I'll take this all by myself, you follow?"
"Fine, fine! But call me fish again and I'll hunt you down in the Red Zone, Zonan!" Sharky warned.
"Oh, so you knew about the Zonan race and you still dared to threaten me, fool?" Axis confronted the amphibian-like Player.
"These fools... We found it first. But thanks for the help. Are you going to attack or just keep talking like children?" Liam commented.
He saw an opportunity to get easy kills while keeping his eyes on the new players. He reduced the number of small serpents in their way with ease.
Nonetheless, there were still too many Underdeveloped Swamp Serpents remaining, outnumbering them. The Queen Swamp Serpent seemed much stronger than multiple small serpents combined, and they had no plan on how to win.

"We're going to die. We're going to die. We're going to die," Kaiser endlessly chanted beside Colleen, his nervousness only infuriating her even more.
Without Alexandria now, they couldn't think of a way to escape their predicament, and so Colleen shifted her gaze to the next best thing she knew and proceeded to smack the idiotic f*cker standing to her left across the back of his head. "Stop saying that and use your head to think of something instead, a*shole!"
But he was sure they were about to meet their end, giving the coward of a player the "last moments courage" to argue back. "What do you want me to say?" Kaiser snapped back. "Do you think I didn't think of that before you told me to? There's no way we can survive this, even with these new players. We're finished, do you hear me?"
Colleen blinked at him in surprise, speechless. She didn't expect Kaiser to talk back to her, especially in a moment like this. 'This crazy bastard really-'
"Uhmm...anyway, before we die," Kaiser suddenly started again, cutting off her thoughts. This time, he was back to his cowardly self. He scratched the back of his head, hesitant to ask, but he did it anyway. "C- Can you let me…touch your breast?"
Colleen choked on her saliva upon hearing such shameless words for the first time, her face reddening with embarrassment. "A-are you serious?! You're crazier than I thought! What situation are we in right now? I can't believe you! What woman in their right mind would just allow you to touch her breast-"
"Well!" Kaiser interrupted her again. "Uh…well, you are the reason I'm going to die today. If you'd only allowed me to not join this player-gimmick back then, I wouldn't meet my end, and…this is embarrassing but I'm already past three hundred thirty… I don't want to die a complete virgin-"
"OKAY! OKAY!" Colleen shouted, flustered, her entire face and neck burning red. Kaiser wasn't wrong, and she did feel a bit guilty. Plus, she couldn't stand that pitiful tone of his as he stated his last wishes. Either way, she must be out of her mind to consent to this but…
In the midst of the chaos, Colleen awkwardly pressed the tips of her fingers together, and reluctantly, she said, "Okay, but just for a minute… any longer and I will chop off your balls."
