Real Life RPG (10 page)

“Stay away from me” Bianca Geofferson said as she had an arrow knocked in her bow.

“How old are you girl?” Ferocity asked.

“Old enough to use this!” Bianca said as she noticed me and trained her weapon on me.

“We are not here to hurt you girl” Ferocity explained. “Why is a perma player out here by herself, where are your parents at?”

It was then I could notice the elf really was a girl instead of a woman. She looked no more than 15, even through her elven looks the game had given her it was apparent.

“My parents are around, they just haven’t showed up yet” Bianca said as she held her arrow ready.

“You should go to them, do you need help getting back to your meeting place?” I said as I kept my hands up.

The girl looked somewhat defeated and lowered her bow. “I don’t know how to get there or how to explain to my parents to come and get me. I joined a party of some kids I knew and they teleported me out here so we could fight and get a soul stone for one of the boys who wanted to be an orc. It got late for them so they had to log off which left me here by myself. I can’t log off and the animals here are too tough to fight. My dad has logged on and sent me messages trying to find me but he had to go and said he would be back tomorrow”.

“Well you are welcome to join our party and we will get you back home” I spoke up.

“You need a guild girl, but you can’t join us as an elf” Ferocity said looking her up and down.

“Why not?” Bianca replied. “He is a human” she said as she pointed at me.

“He is going to change his race soon, to fit in with the rest of our guild” Ferocity said as Leeroy came up chewing on what I thought was a femur.

“Why you talk to food?” Leeroy asked as he looked in my direction.

“Bianca is not food” I replied as he looked puzzled.

“She is good food, sweet meats” Leeroy said as he licked his lips.

“Bianca is a friend Leeroy, I still know you are hungry, there is other food we can find here” I replied as Bianca seemingly forgot we were a threat and hid behind Ferocity.

“Leeroy needs more food. Give me food”.

“What city were you in girl?” Ferocity asked.

“I was in Eldenia, it is where I was turned into an elf” Bianca replied.

“I have never been there so I cannot use a teleportation scroll” Ferocity said as she looked to be in deep thought. “How did you turn into an elf? The dungeon to the Frost Lands is a level 20 dungeon at least and that’s only if you are a part of a party”.

“My father plays this game a lot, he got me a soul stone” Bianca replied.

“Well if you join our party we will get you another one then you can change your race. After that we will take you to either Orcx, Goblinea or Tromp to pick out you a new race. Once you are changed you can join our guild, you family is welcomed to join as well and nothing like what could have happened here today will be repeated”.

The girl nodded and Ferocity pulled out a teleportation scroll and transported us after Bianca accepted our party request. We arrived at an intimidating looking castle one I had seen the outside of only once before. It was here I used to fight alongside of the fire demon Brutale, ensuring that he did not get too strong from the glitch. I could see a party coming back out of the castle, two members had low life points. Leeroy instantly went on the attack, killing one of them quickly.

“What the fuck is a mountain troll doing in this part of the game?” I heard a familiar voice say, it was Big Sally.

“Waiting for dumbasses” I spoke as I let them see me. Big Sally had three other people with him, well two now that Frankie had been killed. Sally was a level 23 now and well outfitted, his companions were two level 60 mages. We should have backed out of the fight as Leeroy then charged Sally as he ordered his party members to kill us. Sally died just as the mages were about to release their magic, the mages pointed at Leeroy and froze him instantly.

“Finally I don’t have to deal with that asshole” one of the mages, a man named FireFly said as he sat down.

“You know we are probably going to get punished for this” his partner named Serenity replied.

“The hell we are, we killed these four” Firefly said gesturing to us.

“Aren’t you two mafia?” I asked I walked closer.

“Hell no, I am an accountant who was forced to play this game and power level those two” the first guy replied.

“Well if you wouldn’t mind can you unfreeze my companion, I am on a quest to feed him humans and if their bodies disappear I have to fight even more people”.

I watched as they unfroze Leeroy who immediately started feeding on the two mobsters.

“These two have powerful friends in the real world who made us take care of them until they get to top level, they are really going to miss their gear though” Serenity said as he stared at Leeroy who was eating happily.

“Well we better make this look good” Firefly said as he pointed to Leeroy and his grisly meal. “You can have all of this stuff but you better move outta here. The story is going to be we killed most of you but one of you escaped after stealing their gear. We will transport back to this spot in four minutes”. I watched as Firefly pulled out a scroll, seconds later he and his teammate departed. I checked the goodie bag left behind when the two were killed and couldn’t believe what I was seeing, I had twenty platinum now, a lot more than was needed and I went up a level.

“We have to move” Ferocity said seriously after she loaded up the rest of the gear. “I used my last teleportation scroll to get here, I have tried contacting the guild but right now they are under surprise attack from Elven guild Natural Born Killers. If your friends come back we are done for, let’s get going”.

We entered the castle and saw skeletons who ignored us as we passed. We were waiting for the fight to happen but it was like we were stealthed or something as they left us alone. This dungeon wasn’t all that hard, it was meant to be a reward for those who leveled at least to twenty and rewarded those who grouped together. Even Brutale despite being visually appealing was not supposed to be that hard until the glitch was found. The mindset behind it all was to make players put in some effort if they wanted to change from being a regular human. Before I knew it we were at the top floor and continued until we had stopped at the room where I used to fight at, the door was wide open. We walked through and onto where the teleport gate was already active which teleported players in to the frost lands after Brutale was killed. I watched Ferocity enter, followed by Bianca and finally Leeroy. When I went to enter a strong hand yanked me back and I could hear the door slam. I turned around and started into the angry face of Brutale.

“WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?” Brutale screamed as he put his hand around my neck and lifted me off the ground, causing my health to plummet. “I have hidden here feasting on weak players to get stronger while avoiding those with more power. You are my servant and you have been gallivanting with other lesser life forms. And what is this I see? You claim to be a leader of sometype?”

“You can talk?” is the only thing that came to my mind as I was dropped on the ground.

“Yes and I remember everything, like how you abandoned me” Brutale spoke as he turned his back to me. “I cannot die again, I will not go back to being mindless. Here take this”.

Brutale opened up his hand and gave me a soul stone. As soon as I took it I felt a searing pain take hold as I fell to the ground. I could feel my body changing as scales started to replace skin, claws replaced my fingernails and the world took on a reddish hue. I groaned in Agony as Brutale started gloating above me.

“I am now a God!” he screamed as he stood over me. “I can finally leave this place, you belong to me now, I can go where you go. I gave you a piece of me, I can track you anywhere. Consider this castle a gift, but you are no leader, you are my follower!” Brutale disappeared as the my pain faded and new status boxes popped in to my vision.

Now I was getting somewhere, through normal means without augments or special armor or clothing the highest possible speed available for a level 100 elven dervish, the fastest possible build in the game was at 110. I was already at 100 and the rest of my stats were insane as well, I didn’t really care for new appearance, especially since I had no wings unlike Brutale but the tradeoff was worth it. My stupid Team Player ability stayed but at least it took off the speed restriction. If I had to add up all the pros and cons I think I made out okay. The Pros were that I was no longer in the guild, I didn’t have that stupid skull staff anymore, where it went who knows. I had better attributes and better spells. The cons were that I had to give up my zombie ring, I was no longer a human and could not equip armor. All in all I think I made out okay. As I was getting ready to leave another pop up came asking me if I wanted to buy a shield for my new stronghold. I accepted and bought the exact same kind Jokesonyou had gotten when he took on the castle of light. I walked through the teleporting flame and saw a worried looking Leeroy eating a leg of some player while Ferocity and Bianca watched. I walked over as Ferocity looked at me and raised her club, Bianca for her part turned bright red and looked away.
