[VRMMO] Dead One

[4 in game weeks before the start of the tournament.]

[Purple Hyena guild's private training ground]

"Common! FUCKING COMMON! HIT ME! FUCKING HIT ME ALREADY YOU BASTARD!" – shouted Rampage as she was fighting Wretch.

"Tch! I fucking know!" – shouted Wretch as he swung his axe, managing to get past Rampage's guard and aiming straight for her neck.

However, before the blade could even reach her, the vampire suddenly rushed forward and headbutted the orc right in the mouth, catching the man completely off guard.

The orc tried attacking again, but before he could, he was smacked in his side with a lance, which knocked the man down.

Wretch tried instantly getting up, but before he could, he had Rampage's spear pointy end being right next to his neck.

"…"

"What the fuck man?" – asked Rampage as she stabbed her lance into the ground, before then extending her hand to the fallen orc and helping him get up.

"You fucked up way too many times now."

"I could had easily killed you few times already."

"Sorry…." – said Wretch as he looked down.

"…"

*Sigh*

"Hey." – said extremely pissed off Rampage, which alarmed Wretch.

"Talk to me, you shit head."

"What the fuck is going?"

"It ain't the evolution, since you should had more than enough time to adjust."

"I maybe not the one to talk, since my evolution doesn't change my shape that much, but you had no fucking hard time dealing with your sudden growth burst."

"So what is going on?"

"…"

*Sigh*

"How many times I've fucked up?" – asked Wretch.

"Way too many fucking times to count." – replied still angry Rampage.

"…"

"Welp…. I will be honest with you." – said Wretch.

"I'm scared."

"?"

"You got to be fucking kidding me, you? Scared?" – asked conflicted yet visible more pissed off Rampage.

"Is it because of the tournament?"

"…"

"Prety much." – replied Wretch.

"Honestly… Compare to the last time the tournament was held and I was defeated, I was nowhere as strong as my current self."

"Hell, I wasn't even the top members of the guild."

"I've only recently became number 8."

"…"

"But what about the other monsters out there?"

"ClownFrog."

"He a is a fucking final boss at this point."

"And there is also all of you fuckers."

"You have already undergone your evolution and so will GreyHunt, Oron and Shri soon."

"But even without evolution, I don't stand chance against them."

"Hell."

"In the previous tournament, I just got played."

"By that bastard Mug."

"He didn't went all out on me."

"He was FUCKING looking down me."

"And I got fucking wrecked."

"…"

"And there are other bastards."

"I can probably get to the finals."

"But I doubt I will be on the podium."

"Simple as that."

"So-"

Rampage suddenly kicked Wretch in the face and sent him flying.

"?!"

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" – shouted Wretch as he gotten up.

"That is my fucking line, you bastard." – said bloodthirsty Rampage.

"You are fucking giving up before even trying?"

"Who the fuck are you?"

"You were never a fucking coward like this Wretch."

"You do think."

"You do fight."

"You may give up, but you never act like the fucking coward."

"So what in the actual fuck is this shit?" – said Rampage as she grabbed Wretch by his armor collar.

"ANSWER ME!" – shouted the vampire right in the orc's face.

"…"

"Tch."

"We ain't gods, you fucking idiots." – said Rampage as she let go of Wretch.

"Hell, ClownFrog maybe called the 'strongest' player out there."

"But didn't you two got destroyed in that dungeon back then?"

"Hell! During the previous fucking tournament, he tied with Dance."

"The time before he had defeated her."

"But last time they both tied."

"I wouldn't be even surprised if she were to defeat the fucker now and claim the title of the 'strongest'."

"Hell! I've tried to take his title few times in the duel."

"But each time we had fought."

"He always defeated me."

"But you know what?"

"Fuck it."

"Have fun!"

"We ain't fucking heroes!"

"We are villains!"

"We do what we want!"

"As long as we can enjoy it!"

"Plunder!"

"Murder!"

"Destruction!"

"Conquest!"

"We fucking do it for fun!"

"…"

"But that doesn't fucking mean we can't just enjoy other things."

"For example."

"I don't really like running kingdoms and stuff."

"Hell, I honestly would like more if our guild never became something as big as this."

"I just want to fight."

"I enjoy it."

"That is just that simple."

"I'm simple woman!"

"Do you have any idea how much I wanted to swing my fist at any annoying person I've met!"

"I've just wanted to beat them up!"

"BEAT THE FUCKING SHIT OUT OF THEM!"

"BEAT THEM UNTIL THEY CRY!"

"BEAT THEM UNTIL THEY BEG!"

"BEAT THEM UNTIL THEY DIE!"

"…"

"I ain't good person."

"I'm a 'jerk'."

"That is it."

"But you know what?"

"In this game, I can be that."

"I can just beat up people I find annoying."

"And I can kill them."

"I was never like this in the real life."

"No."

"I was just a girl that liked working out."

"I have a close friend, an idiot that I wanted to protect no matter what."

"I liked her."

"And didn't wanted her to have any harm coming her way."

"But that doesn't mean that I was just a gentle girl…. Nah… Fuck that."

"I just picked this game because I was bored."

"But the moment I started playing?"

"I couldn't stop."

"And the moment I've met ClownFrog and other bastards?"

"I couldn't stop smiling!"

"And it was worth it!"

"Since he was the devil I was looking for!"

"…."

"Enough of me."

"Now you."

"Why are you aiming to become stronger?"

"I know your story and circumstances."

"But why strength?"

"You could had became crafter or even simple farmer."

"Yet you chose to fight."

"You better explain yourself."

"Why did you made your way to become the number 8 of the guild?"

"…"

"…"

(Why did I?) – thought confused Wretch as he stared at the ground.

(Was it for the revenge? Justice?)

(But…. No. I couldn't leave her alone!)

(She needed me by my side! She needed me!)

"Duty?" – said Rampage, which instantly snapped Wretch.

"Pathetic."

"You are really little man."

"…"

Wretch without hesitation swung his at the Rampage, hitting her square in the face.

"…"

"Yeah. That is it mate." – said grinning Rampage.

"Rage."

"You are angry, aren't you?"

"You are angry of the fact that you were powerless to do anything."

"You are fucking angry because you needed us to even move forward."

"You are angry because you didn't wanted to be nobody."

"SHUT UP!" – shouted Wretch as he swung his fist once again, landing another solid blow on Rampage's face.

"Who the fuck do you think you are?!"

"I don't fucking know you in the real life!"

"Yet here you are! Talking shit!"

"Yeah. I'm the nobody in this situation." – said Rampage as she suddenly then landed her own punch on the orc's face.

"But even so, I've decided to get involved."

"I also want to help out you all in taking that bloody revenge and I know I'm not the smartest there is."

"But I fucking know when to say stuff when everybody else dares not to." – said Rampage as she did not stopped smiling, which somewhat terrified Wretch.

"So tell me, why the fuck are you fighting?"

"With all our money."

"Population."

"And pretty much everything, you could even make yourself a brand new character from the start up and chose a different path that would suit you more."

"…"

"Yet you didn't."

"Why?"

"Because you don't want to be a freaking nobody."

"Let me ask you something."

"Did you know you are enjoying fighting?"

"?!"

"Fighting!? Me?! I only-"

"You were smiling." – said Rampage with straight face, which caught off guard the orc.

"Then, and then and even back then.""

"I saw you enjoying yourself."

"You like fighting."

"And that is the reason why you also aimed to be stronger."

"You want to fucking fight."

"If you didn't like it, then why aim higher?"

"Why do it at all?"

"If you want to take easy route, you could just become somebody less important."

"Yet you didn't."

"So…. I'm asking you again, you fucker."

"Why?"

"…"

"…"

"Honestly? I don't know." – replied Wretch.

"I just…. Felt like…. Felt like it?"

"…"

"Meh. Good enough of an answer." – said Rampage.

"…"

"…"

"?"

"WAIT WHAT!?" – replied Wretch.

"That is it?! This is barely an answer at all!"

"After making that whole fucking speech, you are fine with this answer!?"

"Meh. I'm not really speech person anyway, so I don't know what answer I was looking for."

"Honestly, I was just saying what I thought needed to be said."

"I felt like it."

"Just wanted you to speak."

"I honestly don't care what your answer is." – said Rampage as she suddenly took out a crimson book with countless white horns sticking out from it.

"Anyway, here."

"A gift from me."

"?"

"What is this? A class book?"

[Class Book: Red Berserker]

[Rarity: Unique]

"?!"

"WAIT! ISN'T THIS A FUCKING UNIQUE RARITY!? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GIVING ME?!" – shouted confused Wretch.

"Hm? Don't you like that?" – asked Rampage.

"W-what?! No! But…. What the fuck!?" – said confused Wretch who didn't knew how to respond.

"…"

"Heh."

"It is just a gift, you idiot." – said Rampage with a cheerful smile.

"I just felt like you need it for all the hard work you did."

"Use it or sell it, I don't care."

(Honestly, I wanted to use that book myself. I went through a freaking hell to get that book. I even needed both the support of ClownFrog and demon lord queen for the help.)

(But honestly speaking?)

(I think that bastard needs it more than me.)

"So, what will it be?"

"Are you going to be keep being a coward?"

"Or are you going to step up and grow some balls that you had lost at some point?"

"…"

"…"

"Honestly?" - replied Wretch.

"I don't fucking know."

"…"

"But you know what?"

"FUCK IT!"

"I want some fucking fun of my own!"
