[VRMMO] Dead One

<<Honestly. All 3 of these things are…. Connected?>>

<<One of the conditions that True Sloth said to me that allowed me to met her was the Forgotten Executioner.>>

<<The one that we slew.>>

<But why him?>>

<<Why not Amadeus? The god that almost archived a god hood and could had possible replace the corrupted god of angelic dragons?>>

<<Honestly speaking, the executioner was strong.>>

<<Hell, we received massive power up after beating Amadeus and his army of monsters, ranging from countless titles to the race evolution.>>

<<Was it because Amadeus was heavily nerfed when we fought him and at the time the Forgotten Executioner was stronger?>>

<<Or was it because the Forgotten Executioner was a being from Forgotten Time?>>

<<The latter seems to be the main culprit in this situation.>>

<<Forgotten Time.>>

<<It seems everything revolves around it?>>

<<…>>

<<But something is still not adding up.>>

<<That thing….>>

<<Is Sloth in reality a company worker?>>

<<There is no other way of explaining how the capsule would turn on all on its own….>>

<<…>>

<<…>>

<<No.>>

<<This isn't it.>>

<<That "presence".>>

<<It was hers yet wasn't hers.>>

<<When I've met sloth for the first time, she did not had THAT presence.>>

<<But this "presence", showed itself up twice, each time the capsule activated on its own.>>

<<This game can mimic and create "senses".>>

<<You can get scared.>>

<<You can feel touch.>>

<<Smell things and see things.>>

<<And so on.>>

<<This also includes pain. You can feel it.>>

<<However! I wasn't in the bloody game yet! Either that time or this time! Yet I've bloody felt it!>>

<<One thing would be if that presence AFTER I've entered the game.>>

<<But I was feeling it before I've even got inside!>>

<<…>>

<<And there was also that.>>

<<Sloth.>>

<<She had the same presence as the capsule.>>

<<It was…. Different, compare to her regular presence….>>

<<However, I still some familiarly to it… Yet…. Shit.>>

<<I know why I fell it so familiar.>>

<<It was HERS.>>

<<But at the same time, why the hell I couldn't put my finger on it.>>

<<Despise being a being in game, she left a deep impression on me, since I knew she was one of most important beings in that whole world.>>

<<So how the hell I didn't realized sooner?>>

<<…>>

<<Was it because I was thinking about real life people, because it felt "familiar"?>>

<<And the hell was THAT!? Thing!?>>

<<I couldn't see it!>>

<<But I definitely felt it!>>

<<Dread.>>

<<Even after leaving the game world and returning back to the real world, I still felt that sensation for a bit.>>

<<What was THAT!?>>

<<….>>

<<And why did I felt that no matter what, I cannot let that thing "see" me…. Or if I may straight up…. I don't know…. I don't know what was that feeling, but I know definitely that I don't want to have that thing "see" me no matter the cost.>>

<<…>>

<<Sloth was able to intervene in the game itself 2… No. 3 times in total.>>

<<The first time was when I've tried to log off – I was instead pulled into her realm and was still in the game.>>

<<And the second time when I logged in. I didn't logged into the regular serwer, but instead I was teleported straight to her domain.>>

<<And third time.>>

<<She forcefully kicked me out of the game.>>

<<She can control the game and turn on the capsule on its own.>>

<<Logically speaking it should be only possible IF you are working for the company behind Avriones.>>

<<However, what the FUCK was the deal with the presence surrounding the capsule pod?>>

<<Fuck technology.>>

<<There was no fucking logical explanation behind THAT bullshit!>>

<<And that same "presence" was on the sloth.>>

<<Logic is straight up screaming "NO" on top of their freaking lungs and I do fucking agree with them!>>

<<…>>

<<But again…. Her presence…. And presence of that "THING"…. It wasn't normal.>>

<<No, no, no…. No, no, FUCKING NO!>>

<<ZERO! NON! UNO! FUCKING NO LOGIC!>>

<<…>>

<<…>>

<<Okay… Let's make it a weird and fucking non logical stretch right now.>>

<<Let's say that the sloth was really an NPC from the game. Not some person controlling it, but a real NPC.>>

<<Let's fucking just – SCREW THE LOGIC!>>

<<OKAY?!>>

<<…>>

<<Why now?>>

<<Why the hell she contacted me NOW?! Of all the times?>>

<<Why didn't she did that in game?>>

<<…>>

<<Maybe…. Hm….>>

<<Maybe she couldn't speak about it?>>

<<Was somebody watching her?>>

<<That presence forced her to kick me out of the game… By any chance, THAT thing was the being who was watching her?>>

<<Was there some sort of opening when the sewers were frozen because of the tournament?>>

<<…>>

<<…>>

<<Wait…. Something ain't adding up.>>

<<When the sewers are frozen and during the tournament, players cannot level up their characters, level up their skills or have their equipment destroyed.>>

<<It is just how it works…. Yes…. It works that fucking way.>>

<<So what the fuck was Rampage!?>>

<<During the first tournament when she faced off against Long!>>

<<How in the bloody hell did she obtained dormant Gluttony?!>>

{{Info: Referring to the chapter 314}}

<<If the sewers were really frozen, then how in the bloody hell did she got it!?>>

<<Isn't this way too big of a freaking plot hole?!>>

<<How in the bloody hell I or nobody fucking else freaking noticed that!?>>

<<The unlocking process should be freaking locked!>>

<<Even if you fulfilled some sort of special conditions during tournament, once you would return to the regular serwer, the fulfilment condition you did would end up getting reset!>>

<<…>>

<<Her sin is gluttony.>>

<<While mine is sloth.>>

<<Completely different sins.>>

<<So does that mean all sins and virtues have some sort of "system ignoring hidden ability"?>>

<<….>>

<<…Her third request.>>

"Continue developing the power of the sin or virtue. Either is fine, but you need to power up one of them enough."

<<Why?>>

<<Sins and virtues…. Have ability to abstract somebody view…. The view of other sins and virtues as well as gods.>>

<<…>>

<<But what if that "view restriction" doesn't just…. Does it also affects THAT thing?>>

<<…>>

<<Should I tell the others about the sloth?>>

<<About what just happened?>>

<<…>>

<<No.>>

<<Not in the game.>>

<<I can speak about it in the game.>>

<<If THAT thing is roaming around, listening, then it could end up in disaster.>>

<<I can speak with these two, since we live nearby.>>

<<I can also speak with her, since she moved to the apartment, since she wants to be close to her mother's hospital and was worried about living in her previous home…. Since there was still that bastard on the loose.>>

<<But besides us 4 living here…. Well, technically speaking, Lil's entire group is here.>>

<<But us 3 bastards, Shri, Oron and GreyHunt are living in completely different countries.>>

<<"Oh hey! Would you mind taking plane as soon as possible and fly XXX here?">>

<<"Hm? Why I want you to fly all the way over here and waste your precious time?">>

<<"Oh… No reason really… I just want to talk face to face for a moment!">>

<<As if they would agree to a freaking meeting without purpose! This is…>>

<<…>>

<<Wait a fucking moment. This isn't stupid idea.>>

<<Why in the bloody hell I've thought it was stupid fucking idea?!>>

<<I mean, we already know who we are each other in real life, even though we haven't met yet!>>

<<However, we should probably do some sort of meeting!>>

<<Why the hell…. Why the hell I thought this was stupid? Is my brain going smooth from all that bullshit dump of info going right into my head?>>

<<…>>

<<…>>

<<…>>

<<Okay. Fuck it. I'm going to ask them to hold a meeting here.>>

<<The sewers will be frozen for few days after the tournament end…>>

<<So before the final rounds comes, I need to contact these bastards.>>

<<…>>

<<Should I also contact Ampi while I'm at it?>>

<<Ampi is one of our strongest players… She shares with Lil the rank 7 and 8….>>

<<Ampi… She still doesn't know WHO I'm….>>

<<Should I tell her?>>

<<But she is….>>

<<Fuck…>>

<<If she learns the truth, she could be under the "radar", wouldn't she?>>

<<She is… A good girl.>>

<<A bit innocent, but a hard working one.>>

<<Should I really tell her about my story?>>

<<…>>

<<Yes…. I do need her.>>

<<And this isn't about the revenge…. No.>>

<<This is about THIS thing.>>
