1.8 Let the Games Begin

No, I'm sorry, but I'm limited to the armory, what did it say.

Well, that he knows me for one or at least my name and that fact that he is going to be my

enemy at one point do you think is the AI.

No, it can't be I would've known he was here so it couldn't be him is there someone in

the games as strong as the AI.

What's going on. Axe yelled.

Sorry I got to go for now please try and figure out some stuff and I figured out most of

your name.

Axe what's the matter.

It… IT...it's Jim disappearing and his not responding to me.

WHAT!!!!!

Jim hey Jim are you there Jim answer me, please. I can't touch him, I just keep going

through him.

Stay calm Axe.

How can I when two of our friends disappeared not knowing why?

Well, I might know some stuff, but it is still a blank for me too.

Hank, what's going on, how Jim is disappearing, and we can't even touch him at all.

I don't know whether this is a first across all the world's try equipping something to him

and see if that does anything to him.

Do you think that will do anything?

If you want him to stay, it's worth a try on it.

Access denied can't give the dead a weapon.

When we left he still had some health and he couldn't have gotten hurt while he was in

spectator mode while in the transaction. I think that I should tell Axe about what's going on then.

Hey, Axe I'm sorry, but it's time to be told about this as we don't have much time.

So you do know what's going on right because I'm so confused and scared. Jim is gone,

and I feel like I have forgotten somebody.

Yes, Max was with us, and now he is gone, but he died in the game, not like Jim his case

is different in his case. I've even met a person named Hank who told me most of what is going

on, and according to him, it's happening all over the world.

So I'm next in line for whatever is going on.

What no it couldn't be I could be next.

No, all that power you have there is no way I wouldn't be, and I bet it's been a week or

two so far, but I doubt we even have half a day in real life.

I agree, but we better get this next map done, and it is just a cave and a large open flat

plan

Ok, what's going on here, how come it got so small.

It is clearly a trap of some sort but the best bet is the cave.

It's a cave and wide-open field, and it's one round of three hundred zombies. Something

is clearly going on this a little exerted for the last map. I thought it would be a lot harder than

this.

Ok, how do you plan on doing this map, Matthew?

Come with me. I know what we should do.

Access denied.

Overridden access to Axe access granted welcome to the armory Axe.

Matthew, how did you do that you are genuinely stronger than Admin command?

You can say so, but I'm the owner.

Ooo.

Ok, this map is simple, just take a couple of submachine guns.

I don't think so we're taking two slowly minigun mounted guns and full body armor.

What why?

I think this is a trap so I'm going to make sure we're ready for what it throws at us.

Oh, I get it ok, all systems are a go.

Thanks, Hank will return soon, and hopefully this time nobody will be disappearing.

Three...two...one.Level start. Welcome to the swarm at the end of the road you will be

faced with an enemy of overwhelming power.

Well at least it told us something and that cave will be best for us.

I agree.

Round one of three three hundred zombies.

Matthew if I do disappear, please don't lose it. I know you will be by yourself, but you

can do it if anybody can.

What are you talking about you won't disappear; you will make it to the end, and we will

win and continue to the real world and help everybody else?

Here they came to us around three and reached nine hundred zombies on the map.

All will be consumed by the zombie god of consumption.

What the ground is shaking, what's going on?

I wasn't sure, but we needed to take the guns and go.

Why?

Just run.

The cave we were at started to consume the zombies that one by one headed toward it as

if it was a hung vacuum.

How did you know that was a monster?

What that can't be is the monster, it's just a vacuum chamber but place the gun here.

I'm glad I got mine and dynamite, but we have no way to set them off but to hope to hit

them with the guns through its skin.

Matthew, how many do you see when you fight the monsters last time?

If I remember correctly so far, I've killed over fifteen thousand of them not including

tanks and the wall climbers.

That can't be and what about… Never mind but there's only ten for me, and there are fast

crawlers.

No there were nine hundred zombies until that cave consumed them all and is starting to

rise from the ground.

No, I'm sure there are only ten of them Matthew.

Matthew, he is telling the truth there are only ten for him but for you, there are many,

many more I think the AI has targeted you. It knows you are here and it is ready so no matter

what you do you are alone from the start.

You couldn't have protected them if you wanted to. You all have been facing a fight all

on your own the whole time. I bet that even now you aren't with your friends.

Ok, then Axe what did we do before we entered the game?

Well, we got together to play a game like we always do.

What was it this time?

It was a friend getting together with Matthew.No, it wasn't just that Axe, you of all people should remember something so important as

what was going on when we entered.

Oh, right it was my birthday.

You are not Axe, who are you?

Oh yeah no it was Jim's birthday.

I said tell me who you are now!

Matthew, that is no way to treat a friend now is it.

I know who it was, now it was Max's yes.

Last time AI, who were you?

Okay, I guess it's up you know who I am now, don't you.

I know you're not my friend and I know you've been pretending to be them.

Well, well, well you seem to be well informed about what's going on that Clayton sure

has his way around my control even after being moved down a few pegs and far away.

What have you seen Clayton?

Seeing him, I fought and won against him.

What you won I guess that explains some of the things going on in here.

You wished to know who I am well seeing you had made it this far. I will help you

weakling as many had tried before you and failed at it.

How may we talk about it?

You would be number five hundred.

As you can see you are only facing ten zombies now that we have made it this far.

No that's you.

No, that is not possible what you are facing now.

As the god finally ascended from the ground the sky on the whole game changed into

something close to what hell would be like.

This is what I am facing right now.

Come join me in … hell.

What is this, what's going on, how can you even touch a part of me and n…

What is that thing?

What do you mean you are controlling this game?

Well yes the main me but from both our knowledge that thing has never shown before,

not even in a group of eighty-five level one hundred.

My total level makes up fifty-nine level two hundred.

Level two hundred what are those.

Fifty-nine admins level people.

No this can be could you be the person Clayton honestly mentioned this can be.

Now I am done talking to you. I must defeat this monster and find my friends that have

been sent elsewhere across several games in the world.

I will see you soon Matthew I hope you have a great time trying to reach me…

Matthew was the AI or at least a small part of him.

I know but I'm a little busy at the moment could you give me a sec.

Ok.

Now to fight your zombie god if you are.

Who dares to speak to me with such a tone of voice.

Wow, it can talk, maybe we can come down to an agreement on something.
