//------------------------------// // Chapter 12 // Story: The Game Players // by GamePlayer64 //------------------------------// Game Life was shock but in his mind he was freaking out (“MOTHER@#$%ER!!! I @#$%in’ screwed up big time. I was suppose to careful but I wasn’t and worst of all; I got my friends involve.”) He looked at his friends as they were confuse, weird out but Dark Speed who narrowed his eyes even more. “Dark Speed senses dark intentions.” Tough Exo put up her dukes. “Who the hell are you Crappy-looking LARPers?” Game smacked himself upside the head. “Faust damn it.” Game said as he got in front of his pals as the big guy looked insulted. “HUH! You little brat, you don’t have any respect for adults don’t you?” Said the big guy as the little one spoke up “Now, now. This new generation of kids have been unruly and out-of-control since parents are too busy to educate them. Maybe we should teach this little girl some lessons as concern adults.” Said the short guy as Game was confused and look angry. (“What’s wrong with them? Why do they care about us but that’s not the point to this. I sense strong hostility of malice from them. They have powers and from the abyss”) He moved his eyes up to see their levels; The big guy was LV35 and the short guy was LV32. (“I can’t see their stats. It must mean that my ‘Observe Skill’ level is still to low to know their strength. I need to fight for a reason; for my friends and their protection.”) “Hey brats! You want to get beaten? Or get beaten?” Said the Big guy but Sharp Shooter gave a frown “If that all your small brain can think of?” She said as she hold her glock “I don’t know who the hell you two are but I will shot your kneecaps if you molest me or the rest of us!” They looked surprised as they smirked “Sorry little midget but you don’t threaten us with that peashooter.” Said the short man as he raised his staff “This will show why children need to respect adults.” It started to glow as Game took action he raised his hand “BIND!!! BIND!!!” Ropes made from Mana appeared from his hand and tied up the strange men as his friends were shock, even Dark Speed who never show any emotion had his eyes widen. “WHAT THE HELL!?” yelled Tough Exo. “Holy shit…” Said Dark Speed. “*GASP!!!*” gasped Fancy. “EVERYONE!!! GET THE @#$% OUT OF HERE!!! THESE MEN WILL KILL!!!” Yelled Game Life as he pulled a machete out of thin air which surprised Death Alchemist who was removed from his chair by Large Harvest. “Do what the teen with the blade said!!!” He yelled as he carried D.A. over his shoulder as they followed the biggest guy to the town as Dark Speed noticed something off. “Dark Speed sees no people.” They all looked around for people to see it was empty; no cars, no sound, no animals, no nothing. “Dark Speed have seen enough evidence to believe that Game Life is now apart of the rumor Abyss. Dark Speed believes Game Life will not succumb to the Abyss’ desires and corruptions that will involve his companions and trusted friends.” He said as he was ahead of them as he entered an alley as the others follow. “Or kick our asses for stalking him and doubting his trust on us. I’m starting to see why he didn’t tell us; with those weirdo molesters.” “Hunters is the correct term for those freaks and I am so… DEAD!” Said Game Life as he landed after jumping from the rooftop. “You guys need to get out of here! ESCAPE!” He yelled as he raised his hand in the air as a screen appeared. You cannot escape from this I.D. “What the hell!!!” He opened his mini-map as he say the color orbs as a huge group of red dots and two blue dots. “Well, at let my powers is accepting what I want and isn’t doing the clique ally and enemy display design.” his friends looked at him “What are you speaking out?” Ask High I.Q. “Never mind. You guys need to be somewhere safe. Monster Farm!” A portal open as Sweet Tunes nearly dropped her headphones as Large Harvest dropped D.A. on his face. “OWW!!! ASSHOLE!!” “Sorry but that is freaky.” He said as Game Life pulled D.A.’s Wheelchair out of thin air which surprised him “Get on and enter the portal!” D.A. climb up as Sharp Shooter walk to the portal and slammed into it ”If this is payback on us, I will say that we deserve it but not funny.” Game looked surprised as a screen appeared in front of him. Non-team members of the Gamer cannot enter the Monster Farm “Seriously! Invite members of the ‘Game Players’ and D.A.” “What was that suppose to mean?!” He yelled as a screen appeared in front of them which surprise them. All: “HUH!?” “Just press yes.” They pressed yes as new info appeared for Game Life and his friends which is a lot for him to handle Name: Fancy Looks Race: Human Age: 16 Level: 7 HP: 390 MP: 100 Power: 15 Strength: 17 Intelligence: 44 Wisdom: 14 Luck: 2 Dexterity: 12 Endurance: 10 Speed: 14 Charisma: 70 Perception: 7 Points: 0 Skills: None Name: Tough Exoskeleton (Tough Exo) Race: Human Age: 18 Level: 11 HP: 800 MP: 30 Power: 64 Strength: 62 Intelligence: 13 Wisdom: 5 Luck: 1 Dexterity: 44 Endurance: 40 Speed: 37 Charisma: 10 Perception: 50 Points: 0 Skills: [Taunt (Active) LV MAX] - This skill with draw the attention of enemies to the user.

Sweet Tunes looked at the nests “I think that egg might be monster-like and those shadows in the trees.” They looked at the trees to see three pairs of eyes which made them back away. “I think Game Life wants at least 65.91% of us to piss ourselves for doubting him and seeing him as a traitor.” The eyes widen as they jumped out to be small slime-like humans which gain a ton of attention from the girls “You know boss!?” They said “SSSOOOO CUTE!!!” The girls screamed as they were smitten by their cuteness but Dark Speed was disgusted. “Dark Speed despised cuteness.” He said as a metal bat was pointed at his face “Ally or enemy!?” Yelled a female voice as Dark Speed moved his head to see a female with serpent body at her waist and a large blue humanoid lizard with a spear pointed at High I.Q which surprised D.A. “Shitballs.” he said “Uh-oh” said Large Harvest. “I fear that we will be killed.” Announced High I.Q. “Dark Speed now see Game Life haven’t became a cute-lover Gamer. Though thought the slimes would be like the one similar to his Dragon Quest games but these slimes have more emotions instead of frozen smiles and blank stares that stares at you until decided to kill it to rid yourself of the nightmares you will have.” Everyone looked at him as well as the Game’s monsters. “What the @#$% man?!” yelled Tough Exo. “I swear I need a reason to know why I’m friends with you?” “To gain some immunity from Dark Speed’s dark poetry that will prevent yourself from committing suicide from depression that you will experience in your adult years.” They’re eyes widen as they looked at him. “That… somehow makes sense. The life of an adult can lead to drinking and gambling addictions that will bring depression to a person to ending their own life.” Said High I.Q. “That is some messed up lesson you gave us Dark Speed.” Said Sharp Shooter. “Dark Speed only give lessons in life; The forces of Harmony and Peace will bring evils within it to life as punishment for upsetting the scales of good & evil. The more good in life, the evils of harmony will corrupt our lives, making us blind to see the truth within what they believe.” “That’s a truth since everything in video-games, cartoons, anime, movies and books; good always win which is a crappiest truth which they never at least made evil wins permanently. No sequel, no changes, no bull shit! Except Fanfiction which creative people can make their own ideas to reality for all to read.” Said D.A. as he was examining the area “Now can you explain why Game Life dumped us in here after you explain to us of Game Life’s abilities?” Azul and Toxia looked at each other as the slimes were being snuggled by the girls “Boss is The Gamer!” (B) “He can make things real and magic powers!” (C) “He… also… feed us.” (H) They looked curious as Dark Speed was underneath an oak tree “Dark Speed have time.” Back To The Gamer Game Life was sword fighting the big hunter as the short one was tied up again. “I’ve been practicing dude!” He jumped as the hunter roared in rage “STAND STILL BRAT!!!” Game landed as he jumped up to the roof of a building (“Thank Video Games that I learned that my strength and power stats made it easier for me to jump like the Mario Bros.”) Game was running like crazy as he looked at him own hands (Do I have it in me? To kill an actual human? In videogames it’s easy since it’s not real or virtual reality but this,,,”) Game couldn’t do it; he was raise by his aunt who save lives. In truth; Zetta Hero Project explained that justice was used to create mass murder for good and some use it for their own selfish actions. He pulled out his phone and was no bars. “Called it.” He had to think of something and remember in some games; asking for help is not a sign of weakness. Only if you’re too weak and pathetic to try it on your own and run away from it while making a sob story for your pathetic weak-will soul. “Send Help Request to Miss Beauty.” Outside of the I.D. Miss Beauty was looking for Fancy “Sweetie! Fancy? I promise not to spank you for becoming a stalker or permanently separate you from Gamey.” She continued to search as a screen appeared which spooked her a bit “I think I understand why Gamey was a bit unease with this.” HELP REQUEST: The Gamer known as Game Life and his friends are in danger of being resources by hunters of the Abyss. This is a rescue request, the location is the park. Rewards: 20,000 EXP, Loot from the hunters and a favor from The Gamer himself. Accept. Refuse. “Oh shitty In-laws.” She ran towards the park as she chest bounced as some guys were happy to see along with getting wailed by their girlfriends or wives. Game Life was at the park as the hunters as finally caught up with him. He looked at his hand “I can’t do it. I can’t kill people.” The hunters heard that and smirked “But… I can kick your fatasses and leave you two with piss scented clothes!” He slashed the air and opened his palm to them as the big hunter was pissed off. “GRRRR!!! YOU’RE NOTHING BUT A CASH PRODUCT!!!” The big hunter charged at Game Life as he opened his palm “MANA BLAST!” A blast of Mana was fired from Game’s palm and pushed the hunter back as Game smirked “AZUL! TOXIA!” A portal appeared behind him, in the MF; Toxia and Azul heard Game’s voice as a portal appeared as they jumped in. Tough Exo followed them but the portal vanished as she fell in the lake. “DAMN IT!!!” She said as spit our some water in her mouth. Toxia and Azul came out to see a short human and a human with armor that was smoking. “I didn’t know that you could make monsters that looked like humans, boss? Asked Azul as Game pulled out the Spirit Staff of the Dead out of his inventory and tossed it to Toxia “I didn’t, these are actual humans. Who are more scum by hunting innocent people. Don’t kill them, just make them suffer by making them unable to move. Take the staff Toxia, It will be an upgrade from the bat.” Toxia smiled as she toss the bat at Game “Thank you boss!” “Now let’s kick ass!” They charged at them as the short man began to chant “I call upon the stars of the cosmos’ rage! STAR’S FURY!!!” The short man blasted a dark beam at Game as he pulled out his book shield as it opened to absorb the attack which freaked them out “WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!” “NICE TRY!” Yelled Game as he and Azul attack the big hunter as Toxia used the staff to summon spirits of the undead humans. “STAY BACK!!!” Yelled the Short hunter as he attack the spirits as Toxia wrapped her snake half to coil him and chock him until he’s unconscious. “I’ve done my part! I hope you win darling.” She yelled. Azul smirked as he grabbed a hold of the Hunter who tried to fight back but Game Life add points to his power and strength. Name: Game Life Race: Human Level 31 HP : 1230 MP: 490, recover 10% Power: 72 Strength: 65 Intelligence: 79 Wisdom: 47 Luck: 22 Dexterity: 69 Endurance: 72 Charisma: 54 Speed: 85 Perception: 44 Points: 15 Name: Game Life Race: Human Level 31 HP : 1230 MP: 490, recover 10% Power: 80 Strength: 72 Intelligence: 79 Wisdom: 47 Luck: 22 Dexterity: 69 Endurance: 72 Charisma: 54 Speed: 85 Perception: 44 Points: 0 He continued to punched the hunter until his punches started to pierce the armor as Game punched him in the gut as he coughed up a bit of blood and lost consciousness. “Thank the games. It’s all over.” He said as a screen appeared You have gain 4 levels! Congratulations! You have reach a level where you can create a guild of your own! [Guild Creation LV MAX] - This skill will allow the user to create a guild of your own creation and only the creator of the guild can invite people. This Guild will have the option to give the members of the guild the powers of The Gamer or not. This will have equal evaluation to 10 levels than the Guild Leader. Game was shocked that he can have Gamers like him. he relax a bit as he felt a dark chill in his spine. ‘Bloodthirst Detection Level as risen by 30.’ Game was shocked “Who has that enough bloodthirst?!” He heard a loud thud as Game and his monsters saw a massive pile of people dressed as normal people, warriors and mages and on top was a woman; Miss Beauty who was furious as wasn’t exhausted. “Miss Beauty…” “Gamey!!!” She placed hands on Game’s shoulders as he felt pain as his HP was dropped “WHERE IS MY BABY!!!” “IN MY FARM!!!” He summoned the portal as Azul and Toxia backed away in the portal “We… will tell them that your here.” Said Azul as he trembled in fear. In the Farm; High I.Q. and D.A. were both examining their stats “I know that I’ve played Role Playing Games, I am curious on why did we earn a mass amount of levels.” D.A. moved his chair as he examined the stats. ”It may be a hypothesis but when Game Life made us part of his team; we gain some EXP like an EXP SHARE or EXP All Like in those Pokémon games. When Game Life level ups; we gain some percentage of that EXP.” They looked at D.A. as a portal opened and the reptiles came in, shaking in fear. “FINALLY!!!” Yelled Tough Exo as she jumped on Azul “You are taking us out of this SHITTY PLACE!!!” “You can leave.” He said which was odd for her “What is with the sudden change?” “The… most powerful female human wants her daughter.” Said Toxia. Everyone looked confused “What powerful woman stronger than me?” Said Tough Exo. They coward as the moved away from the portal as they jumped out as Fancy was embrace in a hug by her mother “MOM?!” “My baby!!!” She kissed her on the cheek as the heard a loud shattered to see High Stocks with some men in strange outfits. “Coz?” Said Fancy as she was unhappy “I didn’t want you to know.” 20 minutes later Death Alchemist, High I.Q., Large Harvest and Dark Speed were in a cell as well as Fancy Looks, Sweet Tunes, Sharp Shooter and Tough Exo were in one that was better with actual pillows. “WHAT THE @#$% HAPPEN HERE?!” She yelled as she was banging on the cell bars as Dark Speed saw Game Life in a different cell was curled up in a corner looking depressed as there were shackles on his wrists and ankles. “May the damnations of light help us.”
