[VRMMO] Dead One

"…"

"You know the story about the "staff"?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Yeb. I do." – said Sloth.

"Honestly I shouldn't be talking about it, but the thing is that you "earned it". Meaning that I can tell you the whole story."

"?"

("Earned it"? Does she me like I entertainment her enough?) – though ClownFrog.

"…"

(No…. Something different is going on…)

(What game is she playing this time?)

"…"

"Well, I had been curios about that thing and it could also point out some secrets regarding that "benefactor" I've told you about." – said ClownFrog.

"See? I knew you would love it." – said sloth before snapping her fingers, causing an giant bed to bed to appear behind ClownFrog as well as behind the sloth.

"I think this will do, since you know…. Your tail and legs." – said sloth while getting on top of her own bed.

"…Okay?" – said ClownFrog as he got on top of his bed and tried sitting comfortably.

"…"

"You good?" – asked sloth.

"Yea." – replied ClownFrog.

"Good. Then let's begin." – said Sloth.

"But first thing first. I've got an question for you."

"What do you think the "Forgotten World" is?"

"…"

"Is this an test?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Nope. Maybe. Curiosity should be an best answer here." – replied sloth with smile.

"…"

"Hm… If I were to give an best answer based from my own understanding…." – said ClownFrog while wondering about the question.

"…"

"Honestly I don't know."

"If I think about it and what we saw so far about them, they are bizarre to say the least, but then again, their stories are out there…. However,…. They also feel "missing"?"

"?"

"Missing?" – asked Sloth.

"I don't know how to say it."

(Honestly, should I explain her the Greek mythology from the real world? About Artemis and that so called giant Korags who does not exist in the mythology at all…. Then again… there is also that fact.) – though ClownFrog.

(He spoke in Greek.)

(So maybe speaking about it would be good idea? Then again, would she understand it? Hell, I have succubus demon under my control named Hera and she isn't an cruel goodness.)

(…. But if I were to give an answer based on this then it would be-)

"Erased." – said ClownFrog.

"Honestly speaking, their existence feels erased."

"We know some myths about some gods that shares the names of the gods, but there is good chance that one and another are not the same at all."

"So if they were based on the gods we know, then the answer would be "erased" …..However we are definitely not talking about them, so the answer cannot be really "erased"."

"Oh? Are you sure about it?" – asked sloth.

"…"

"Yea, I mean….. Wait…." – said ClownFrog before stopping.

"…"

"…"

"Their story was lacking…. As if it was cutten off…. As if it was unfinished." – said ClownFrog.

(I looked recently though the Forgotten World items and all of them had something in common, an story.)

(However each of them only told an part of the story, never full story, only small fragments.)

(Honestly speaking, you can never get an clear story and you can only theorize…. But what if that "lack" is an answer to this question?!)

"…"

"No…. The "erased" could be an answer…. One thing is being "Forgotten" and another being "erased", even though it could be consider an same, but not really."

"You can remember back what was "Forgotten", but the thing that was "erased" are the things that are no more."

"…"

"Wait…. But it wouldn't make sense then. If they were "erased" then why are their "story" resurfacing?"

"There shouldn't be any "story" that could be "remembered" since it was removed."

"…"

(She ain't reacting…. Is she just messing with me?)

(Honestly, knowing how she acted when she first met did gave me an solid "Shitty brat impression".)

(…. Then again, this is possible an real test and not just her messing around…..)

"…"

("Forgotten" or "Erased"?)

(Honestly, "Forgotten" would be an proper answer…. But then again "Erased" does feels like an proper answer as well… I can fucking feel it that the "Erased" maybe something related!

(Maybe it the stories were erased but not completely?)

(…Nah, it would make the "Forgotten" answer more likely then.)

(Honestly speaking, there way too much unknown about the whole "Forgotten World" and there is no way I can give an proper answer. All I can think about are half baked theories that anybody could come up with and I doubt it would be that simple)

"…"

(Maybe back track?)

(Hell, if we knew something like when the first Forgotten Fragment was, then maybe it would be the point "zero"? The start of the…..Wait…. No, this isn't correct question….. No! It is, but an different one!)

"…"

"Say, I want to know something."

"You don't need to give me an proper answer or anything like that, it maybe vague if you like."

"…. Shoot." – said sloth while smile.

"…"

"When did the Forgotten Fragments started appearing?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Are they ancient? Like their existence had been enough through the ages before?"

"…"

"Or by any chance they started popping out recently? In the recent years?"

"…"

"Huh… Why are you asking this question?" – asked sloth.

"Well, honestly I still think this is an random guess…. But I also think this is an solid theory, even though its very half backed and without any proper evidence at all supporting it." – said ClownFrog.

"Honestly, this can be consider as random rambling…. But then again, I can't get this out of my head."

"Maybe these "Forgotten Fragments" were originally "erased" …. But something made them re-appear, with ended up forcefully changing them from being "erased" to be now "Forgotten" instead."

"…"

"So, is it some random stupid theory, or am I on something?"

"…"

"…."

"…"

"…"

"…"

"Pff- "

"Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!"

"HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!"

"Oh my god! You are hilarious!" – said sloth while laughing like an total mad man while rampaging in her bed like an child.

"Honestly, your theory does sounds stupid, but also very believable."

"Hell, this sounds so stupid and believable that it may up making people believe that you are really on something."

"…"

"So I guess my theory was incorrect, huh?" – said disappointed ClownFrog.

"Ah…. Not exactly." – said sloth.

"…."

"What?" – said surprised ClownFrog.

"Your theory does sound stupid and unrealistic." – said sloth.

"Since you cannot really restore something that was "erased from existence"."

"At the best you could possible create an fake replicate, but it wouldn't be the real thing and it wouldn't be remembered."

"However,…. Your theory was somewhat successful."

"And that question you asked was crucial."

"Yes."

"The Forgotten Fragments were histories that were once "erased" and now had been brough back, causing them to be "Forgotten" instead."

"?!"

"WAIT! ARE YOU SERIOS?!" – asked ClownFrog.

"Calm down. Jeez. You don't need to scream in my ear." – said sloth.

"Anyway, your theory is very lacking in many different things and isn't exactly completed, but the thing that it aims at is correct. About "erased"."

"…"

(Holy shit! I was right?!) – though surprised ClownFrog.

"!"

"Wait an fucking moment!" – said ClownFrog.

"Then what about the first question? About when the Forgotten Fragment first appearance?"

"…"

"Well, I cannot give you an solid answer, but I can say you were on the right tracks. They are not extremely ancient if that is what you want to know."

"…"

"Those dungeons are not ancient, but their stories maybe, are they not?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Oh? You understand it?" – aske sloth.

"Well, the most common asked question about the Forgotten World is "how ancient it is"."

"So this would be an obvious question I would ask as well, right?"

"Hm… Pretty much." – said Sloth.

"Anyway, I know we talked about theories and stuff for sometime now, but how about we now get to the "reward" part now?"

"I'm talking about the "staff" and its story."

"Specifically, the story of that "Staff" before it became "Forgotten"."

"!"

"So you DO know!" – said ClownFrog.

"Yeb." – replied sloth.

"…"

(But if you do know…. Then would that mean that you are possible….?) – though ClownFrog while staring at the sloth.

"…"

"Can we begin?" – asked ClownFrog.

"…"

"SURE!" – replied sloth with evil grim.

"Honestly, this story may take hours and stuff, so you better strap yourself in for long bed time story."

"Well, you did warned me when I asked you about how long it would take and you did said that it would take entire day…. So don't worry, I made sure that my schedule is free." – said ClownFrog.

"Good, since this whole thing may end up taking an whole day, depending on how long the tale last alongside your questions." – said sloth while showing an cheeky smile.

"Hm…. Where should I start…. Honestly the characters of this story may include somebody "interesting" and "important" ….. So, I shall talk about beginning, before than person was even was born."

"Sit still and relax kiddo. Since this story may end up only asking questions afterwords."

"This is the story that was "erased" and now had become "Forgotten", but the version I will tell you isn't neither of these."

"Nay."

"I will instead tell you the story of this "staff" and its owner, when they still existed."

"And you better bet your ass that, this will be worth it."

"So, without further ado."

"Lets the story telling, begging."
