Chapter 23

[NetRedBane's Pov]

A few days passed since I first met Ghost and we quickly became good friends and he has even given me the chance to see a place called 'The Sanctuary', which seemed to be where the NPCs lived.

Although after asking some of the oldest NPCs who have been in the game the longest, I have found that 'The Sanctuary' was only created recently and only the 'aware' NPCs could enter The Sanctuary.

The more time I spent with the NPCs that were living in The Sanctuary I found myself seeing these NPCs as actual people, trapped within the game...

But not all of these people seemed to originate from Earth.

Some claimed to be from space-faring civilizations, others from different Earths, and there was even one person who claimed to be from a world of Chinese cultivation.

And the more I listened to their stories the more I believed their words to be true...

Suddenly as I was walking within the town's square which was where the portals to the other games were located and to everyone's surprise, including mine, a new portal archway appeared.

While Battle For The Top's Portal looked to be an archway made of rubble covered in vines and moss from age with a sign that read 'Battle For The Top'.

And Need For Speed's Portal archway looked to be a tunnel covered in graffiti with a sign covered in graffiti labeled 'Need For Speed'.

Now, there was a strange metallic portal that had vines growing between the metal and at the top of the archway, was a strange holographic screen.

"Ark Survival Evolved?" I questioned out loud as I read the sign.

"There's a new one out?" asked some of the arriving people.

Wanting to see what awaited behind the portal, I was the first one to step through the portal.

I jumped as I found myself suddenly back in the real world in my chair.

I grunted in discomfort as my whole body felt like it was asleep and only just beginning to wake up as sensitivity racked my brains.

Before my eyes was a steam page opened on the 'Ark Survival Evolved' created by the very same 'The Extraterrestrial Creator' who created both Need for Speed and Battle For The Top.

It was only 5 dollars, so I purchased it and downloaded the low download size game.

I was happy that the download sizes weren't absolutely ridiculous making it much easier to download The Extraterrestrial Creator's games.

Once the game was downloaded, I launched it.

Before long I jumped in my chair as incredibly loud music burst into my headset as some kind of strange A appeared on the screen with a foggy background behind it.

Then 'start' appeared beneath the metallic A as the loud music continued to rape my ears.

Once I clicked start a menu appeared before me and I couldn't help but immediately go to settings and turn of the main menu music.

Once my ears were free from that particular kind of hell, I sighed in relief before clicking the 'Play' option.

Then two options showed up before me, Singler Player or Online Servers.

I was surprised to find that I could purchase a server for a monthly cost and play with others at any time.

Without hesitation, I purchased a server that could house 30 players at a time and named it 'Sanctuary's Peace'.

I then went back to The Sanctuary and invited the friends I made there before logging into the sever.

Suddenly my vision went dark as a headache racked through my head and I suddenly felt my sense of touch returning as I found my hands digging into the sand as the sun bore down onto me.

Opening my eyes I found that I was on some kind of beach and felt a sudden pain shout through my arm.

Lifting up my left wrist I found a strange metallic object implanted in my arm, and once I looked deeply into it a screen appeared before me.

/================\

Tribe: None

\================/

I could also see several slots that looked to be for armor and some kind of inventory.

There were also several other tabs such as something called Engrams, Tribe, Tames, and Survivor Notes.

Just as I was about to explore these other functions I heard a grown and looked over to find that one of my friends washed onto the beach along with me and...we were both almost completely naked with only underwear covering ourselves.

"Ian? You good?" I asked with concern as I watched the muscular man cough out sand.

"Cough, yea...So this one seems to be like a survival type?" Ian asked before freezing as he looked behind me.

Before I could ask what he was looking at, he charged towards me and pushed me out of the way as a roar echoed in my ears and a large creature jumped through the empty space between us and tumble into the sand.

"What the hell is that?!" I screamed as we watched the creature climb up from the ground and turn around towards us.

Standing before us was a menacing creature with talons, two long legs, and two short arms with sharp claws, a long tail, on its head and arms were some feathers and its face was shaped like that of a lizard...
