《Test World 01》 Chapter 1 - What am I? ... ... : IT HURTS,IT BURNS,I DONT WANT TO DIE,PLEASE,SOMEONE,ANYONE... I cant see... I cant hear... There is nothing... Just pain... Sadness... Tears... ''''Oh, its over, its so peaceful... i should have died earlier.'''' What is that? I can hear a voice... It is so FAMILIAR... Is that ... ? ... : Wake up, HEY WAKE UP !!! ... : Huhh ? ... : COME ON, COME ON ! *SLAP* ... : OW, what the he- ... : NO TIME, HURRY UP, RUN ! My eyes are still kinda blurry but when I turned back I managed to see something, I had no intention to know what it was so I listened to her advice and began running. ... : WHAT IS GOING ON ?! Where are we going, what is that thing ?! ... : No time to explain right now, just follow me QUICKLY ! Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. Because I still could not adjust my vision right, I tripped on something and before i knew it I was already on the ground and i could hear loud stomps behind me. ... : Ayshi ! Damn it, i have always been so clumsy. Guess i have no choice... I rubbed my eyes as hard as i could but i could still hardly tell what''s going on. Ayshi: What the hell is happening ! GIVE ME A FUCKING BREA-! My sentence was interrupted when i saw her standing next to me, carriyng something. What was that? I mean, it was familiar too, everything was so strange. I rubbed my eyes a bit more and my vision wasn''tblurry anymore so i stood up. What i saw was a woman standing right next to me. With a Broken sword ? Turningright a bit i saw a thing similar to her running forward. ... : Can you stand? Good, stay back. I think i can deal with this. Ayshi: You think? ... : Well i''m not really that skilled with this. Ayshi: Why do you have broken sword anywa- ... : LAY DOWN ! In a bare second i saw the sword regaining its bits, and they were glowing? The sword had a full blade now? How did i end up here? Of course i layed down nearly instantly and i didn''t really see what happened, but it seemed like it was over. ... : Are you okay? Ayshi: I might want to ask you the same question... ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND ? WHAT IS THIS THING, DID YOU JUST KILL A PERSON ? WHERE- ... : AYSHI!CALM DOWN, WILL YOU! Ayshi: You better start explaining fast. ... : Ok, ok. But not here, come, i know a far better place. Seriously i''mmore than confused... Ijust witnessed a murder and now she wants me to go with her, and why the hell is she nearlynaked. Ayshi: You better put ona dress or something. ... : Talk about yourself. Ayshi: What do you- I was naked. Ayshi: Oh. ... : Exactly, put this on She gave me a piece of cloth. What good could this do, it''sthe same as being naked. But i''ll ''''put'''' it on anyway. Ayshi: Thank you,but do you really think i will go with you? You just murdered aperson. ... : Stop being so stubborn, you don''t even know what is going on, if you just listen to me- Ayshi: OH...oh,I AM LISTENING. Go on. Quickly. ... : Ehh... fine. My name is Ayshi- Ayshi: Wai-wai-wai-wait. Is that some kind of acoincidence? Ayshi2 ?: Ehm. There is no coincidence here, every single thing is US. This whole place, it should be familiar for you, isn''t that right? Ayshi: Now that you mention it,this sword of yours, it reminds me of something, but i can''treally tell. Ayshi 2 ?: Yes. This sword is my life. I have to take great care of this, it''ss the only thing i can wear as a weapon, and the only effective thing against US. Ayshi: You keep saying US but, what do you mean by that? Ayshi 2 ?: I can''treally tell that much myself, i''mconfused nearly as much as you are. All you have to know is that this corpse here is not a person, it''snot a human anymore. Well,it used to be. Ayshi: I do not really get the point here, are you saying that this is a zombie or something? Ayshi 2 ?: Well these ''''zombies'''', are US in a past life, i think. But when they died they became these filthy things, that look like us. Ayshi: You mean me and you, we are alike ? Ayshi 2 ?: We are not alike, we are the same. Well maybe not that much. But listen we haven''t got much time for chat here,we haveto keep moving or more will come, now that you started your world everyone will try to find you and kill you. If i remembercorrectly your sword should be closeby. So, we are the same person, and me myself is trying to kill me, while me is helping me to survive from me? Yea, makes no sense, the more i think about it, the more my head hurts. She is right about one thing though, everything here really does look familiar. Ayshi: So Ayshi ... that is really confusing, can i call you Shy? Shy: It really doesn''tmatter, you are me. Whatever you like, i like it as well. Ayshi: That is so awesome, can you read my mind as well or something like that? Shy: It would have been pretty useful if we could yeah, we might work on that when we have the time. But for now we are heading down there. What the hell is this place honestly, is there supposed to be this sword, that she is talking about. Honestly i don''t know what is going on anymore, might as well trust myself on this. It sounds so strange, it''s like im talking to myself. Not that i''m not doing it right now... Shy: In my world the sword was right down there on an altar. But the thing is that we have to fight in order to get it. Ayshi: Excuse me? Fight? Shy: Don''t worry, i have already gotten through her once,i am pretty positive i can do it twice. And with your help of course. Ayshi: I honestly don''t think i need that swor- Shy: HEY,HEY! No running, we must get it, you need it. Ayshi: Fine but you go first, God knows what lurks down there. Shy: Well,only more Ayshis and things that look like Ayshis. Ayshi: Aha, just go. ... Chapter 2 - What is this place? Walking down the stairs i had the chance to look around, and i have to tell that this place is a mess, what happened to this world, the trees have no leafs, the grass and ground are rotten, there seem to be no animals or such, i wonder what actually happened here. Ayshi: Say, Shy what happened to this place. Why is it so messed up, everywhere you look. Shy: This world of yours is something different, it seems like your world is not new. Ayshi: Not, new ? Shy: Well, listen, every Ayshi starts with her own world to embrace and to lead to any kind of fate. For example, lets take my world. I started off just like you, with nothing. Ayshi: So, basicly what you are saying is that, we are not being born, but rather spawned in the same area. But why is then no more Ayshi''s alive. Shy: Well to be quite honest, i can''t tell you that, but from what i see, this is probably not your first time seeing this world. Say, have you died? She suddenly asked that. I did not expected it, so i froze on one place, with an awkward,worried smile on my face, for an instant a lot of things came in my mind, like feelings of panic, sadness, pain ? But no image, nothing. Ayshi: Well... that is a strange thing to ask me. I am here right now, alive am i not ? Shy: Yes but, every world has its own rules and, probably this world shares the same ones as mine. And they are that if you die. You respawn at the same place you did for the first time. You do not remember what you saw, or basicly how you died, but you rather know that you did had those feelings of, sadness, pain and so on. Exactly, that is what i was feeling, this, i do not like this, my heart is pounding like crazy and i am a bit dazed, its like you realize that you messed up with something really, really bad. And there is no turning back now. Ayshi: Shy... what happens if we die in this world. Do we turn into these things. Shy: I cant tell you that, that is because i never died in my world. I ''''escaped'''' from it. But, you, your world ... i think you messed up something really bad, or maybe, just maybe someone else is doing this. My heart was not stopping, i can''t stand it anymore, i had to sit down for a while, take a break, i can feel alot of emotions that mess my head up, it''s, IT''S, IT''S UNBEARABLE. Shy: Dont worry. That is why i am here, to protect you, i don''t know what have you witnessed, what have you been through, but it''s over, i am here now. She hugged me and all of those, feelings disappeared. For a second i felt relieved, everything in my head has gone blank, quite, peaceful. Shy: Come on, let''s get your sword, shall we ? Ayshi: yeah, ok. Shy: No more crying, i got you. Ayshi: Thank you, Shy. Shy: but ofcourse, everything for me, hehe. Come let me lift you up, you don''t seem well.This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it She could just,like, stop my mind from thinking for a second, and just laugh it off like it''s nothing. And this laugh, so inocent, so pure. It even made me smile a bit. After a hour or so in silence, all that i could hear was the clacking of our bare feet on the rough stairs. It was quite creepy. But for some reason Shy already knew we were going in the darkness and she prepared a torch. Ayshi: Why did we stop ? Shy: Be on your guard. There might be another undead, lurking in the shadows. Ayshi: ... Shy: Can you see this? Over there. She was pointing at the hole that was a bit ahead of us, i could actually see a figure, but i probably woud not have seen it without the torch, and probably fall in the pit. Ayshi: yeah, i can see it. What are we going to do now. Shy: I will bait her out, and begin running to you. When i get close to you, you have to start throwing whatever you can at her, i could try to kill her with the sword, but i would leave that as a plan B, because the stairs are too thin and kind of slippery, and i dont have much space to swing it. So we better keep distance. Ayshi: Alright i think i can do it. Shy: Ok i''ll go down now, you wait here and stay on position, ready ? Ayshi: Yeah you can go. Shy: pfff... here goes nothing. She went down step by step. And when she got close to it she got her sword out and hit the wall with it, that made a sound that could be heared from far away. The thing immediatly reacted and jumped at her right away. But she already made a step back,grabbed a little hole in the wall and pushed herself backwards, by doing so the thing got out of balance and nearly fall, because it missed her. She then began climbing the stairs, but a bit faster. Shy: AYSHI, GET READY ! Ayshi: I AM READY, WHENEVER YOU SAY ! When the thing made it''s stand again, it began climbing the stairs. Step by step slowly, slowly it climbed its way near Shy. Shy: NOW, THROW WHATEVER YOU HAVE ! I aimed and threw the rock almost immediatly, but it did not quite hit the mark, i missed. And it was dangerously close to Shy now, she had no choice but to deffend herself with the sword. Ayshi: NO, SHY ARE YOU OK- The torch lit off, and i could not see anything, i could only hear the hard breathing, that i could not tell from which one of us it was. Therefore, a sudden strong hit of metal could be heard, seems like she is already fighting it, but how come she can see it. Isn''t she in danger, she is going to die, i have to help her somehow. Ayshi: HOLD ON, IM COMING. Shy: NO .... *She sounded exhausted* HEH ...... IT''S TOO DANGEROUS FOR YOU TO COME, STAY BACK. I stopped on place, can''t i really do anything, i started looking around for any usefull thing. But nothing came to my mind, i was way too panicked to do anything. Ayshi: Wait, that light. I saw her sword regaining the bits again, and saw a single swing, followed up with a growl. And the silence came in again. Ayshi: ARE YOU OK !? Shy: YEAH, *she could not take enough oxygen* ah, ah, ah, I AM OK. She sounded exhausted.But the blade was still lightened, i could see her, because of it, it was such a beutifull colour of yellow. It made me feel calm. Shy: COME TO ME, THERE MIGHT BE MORE DANGER AHEAD ! Ayshi: OH, OK, IM COMING ! Step, by step, i came to her and we both, continued our walking. Ayshi: Shy, im so sorry, i nearly killed you. Shy: It''s ok, i had this under controll, told you i had plan B, hehe. The thing is, i can not really hold the light for too long. And i can lit this sword only three times. I already did it twice, that means there is one more left. Ayshi: I see ... Shy: It''s ok, dont worry, didnt i tell you, i am here to protect you, and this is not the only thing in my arsenal. If i do not learn how this world works and what to do, i might be even heavier burden to her back. I have to get stronger. Otherwise i will kill her off with my uselessness. Ayshi: Say, Shy, can you tell me more about this world, like for example, how do you kill these things. Shy: Well Nothing really works except these *she was pointing out her sword* That is why i want to help you, get your sword as fast as possible. Because they are supposed to be like immortal beings. Ayshi: I see, and how do you do that, how does its blade lit up. Shy: There are things, that you must go through in order to get the bits of the blade, every bit can be lighted. For example my first lighted bit was when i fought against the first obstacle. Ayshi: What is this ? Shy: There are five obstacles if i remember corectly. When i look at the blade now, it made sence, it had 5 bits that were seperate from one another, but were still making a blade somehow. Shy: The first one is quite simple, when you get it. There is this massive humanoid looking thing trying to kill you by throwing rocks from the walls. And the holes in the wall make for the perfect stairs, that can get you to its head , that is where the handle is, with the first bit on it. In my world when i pulled out the handle from it''s head it stopped moving. So yeah that is pretty much it. Ayshi: Just how much exactly have you been through. Shy: Probably less than what you have witnessed. I told you already, my world was not like this, so, devastated, chaotic, and demonic. It gives me shivers. And my only explanation to this is that you did it, somehow. Ayshi: ... i ... i am sorry. Shy: No, no, i am sorry, i should not have said that. Look the only thing that matters now is that, i am here, and everything is going to go smoothly, i know this place well. Come now, let''s hurry. After another hour of silence we finally came to the altar, an empty huge room. And at the end of it there was the Giant, giving off strange noises it seemed like it was sleeping. Chapter 3 - What did Shy do ? Shy:I can see the thing but, where is the sword. It was supposed to be on its head. Ayshi:What are we going to do ? Shy:First of all we have to find the sword, but from what i see it''s nowhere near his head. We may try to look around the area, but it may be dangerous. Ayshi:Well he is asleep i think you might be abled to sneak around without waking him up. Shy:Wait a second, why do you think i will go alone. Ayshi:One person sneaking would be more silent than two. Shy:Yeess...? And why dont you go then, this is your sword after all. Ayshi:You have more experience than me. Shy:Just so you know i never ever sneaked in my world. Ayshi:You mean- Shy:NEVER , EVER. Ayshi:You are crazy, are you saying that you rushed everything with a big confident smile on your face like a super hero saving the day or something. Shy:Something like that. Ayshi:You know what fine, ill do it, jeez, *grumbles* . Shy:Nice thats the spirit, now, imagine the area like a big circle, and we are in this circle, right next to the wall, you just have to follow the road, carefully stepping, because you wont have any light source except the sword, which i am going to keep with me. When you cross all of it and get on the opposite direction of me, you will see its back, and there- Ayshi: aha . . . Shy:Ayshi ? Ayshi: . . . Shy:Are you listening ? Ayshi:Say, why are we trying to get a broken sword out of this thing again, you know we may die if we do it wrong. Why risk it, why not just go back up the stairs, find a home Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.and live happily ever after. Why do we have to make our lifes difficult with such meaningless things. Shy:What are you talking about Ayshi, THE SWORD, WE ARE HERE FOR, YOUR, SWORD ! Ayshi: . . . Shy:Ayshi ? What is wrong with you all of the sudden. You dont seem well at all. Are you okay ? Ayshi: I ... i dont know. I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen. A feeling that grips my heart. Its like, you know, the word of something that has happened before ? Yea something like that. I just dont want to mess with it. Shy:But minutes ago you were doing fine and even you yourself said that you will go and help. Ayshi: Please, lets just go, i am not feeling okay. Shy:We cant Ayshi, we have to take the sword, if you are really not feeling good, you can stay- . . . *collapses on the floor* Ayshi: . . . shy . . . A sudden feeling of despair took over me I stared at the body of shy, mouth open, trying to say something, ANYTHING, but only weird sounds were abled to come out of my mouth, heart pounding like crazy, and at the next moment i was throwing up. i was watching the body lying on the floor, lifeless, with a spear that pierced her chest, blood was spreading around. ... : Now, Now, look who do we have here, Ahahaha A mysterious voice could be heard from somewhere close, The voice was like Shy''s voice, but it sounded like it was mocking me. ... : Seems like you found, her for me,how kind of you, i caaaaant thank you enough for it. mhmhmhmhmhm. oooh poor girl, i forget, you do not know me do you. A really bright light flashed me at the moment her sentence ended. It was the same light as ayshi''s sword light, but because the light was too bright i could not see who it was. ... :I suppose there is no need to explain who i am if you are going to forget about me anyway. So , Soooo sad. Now, i am here anyway, so, why don''t we have some fun ? Mhmhmhm, how about, we wait here for a while, and see how your friend reanimates. I have always liked the way they desperately want to stand on their feet, but they dont have enough stregth to even get up. Ayshi:Is . . . is she, really dead ? ... :Oh, so you finally spoke. I am pretty sure she is dead. She has to be . . . Ayshi:Why. . . WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT! ... :She had it coming, for messing in things where none must. She crossed a line where none of us should. Ayshi:Wait . . . what did she do. ...:Hmhmhmhm, you do not need to know that, trust me. Ah, but i forget, my time runs out. I have to be going, i had a lot of fun with you, thank you for always offering your body to me. Aha. . . wait i forgot, again, you do not remember. Well let''s say i had a lot of fun with you these last 30 days, hmhmhmh. Oh, sweet, sweet memories, how you were begging me for your life, and you were so confident in yourself. Wait so she means, that . . . those feelings i had before waking up, was she responsible for these ? I have to get out of here. I can''t, i just cant endure anymore of this. Suddenly the light wore off, and only the sound of something hitting the ground could be heard. Chapter 4 - Memories An image of Shy ... But this area seems... different, no, not like you are in a different place, its the same spot i was standing a minute ago with shy, bleeding on my feet, with her lifeless body. It''s the same place but, not so ''''corrupted'''' ? It''s not nearly enough destructed. The feeling of despair was no more. I could feel ... the clean air and some clear drops of light from above the stairs. The hall was a bit more brighter. Where am i ? I started to look around. The walls were covered in green moss. The stairs were not nearly, as deadly looking as before. And the giant, was nowhere to be found. When i looked a bit closer i saw the holes in the wall. Those should be the holes that Shy was talking about. From which you had to climb up to the giant''s head and get the first bit with the handle. Hmmmm... I looked down ... The sword, is that ... Shy''s sword im holding ? This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.I was holding a sword, broken, it was only a handle with guard and one pointy bit as a blade. And i was naked ? Wait, again ? Now, now, hold on ... I started climbing the stairs up. . . . This hole, there should be blood from where Shy sliced the undead. But there is nothing. . . . The air was getting ... better ? I do not know, i ... it''s like i have not felt this air for a long, long time. It''s kinda nostalgic. 2 hours passed, and i finally climbed the stairs. And by all holy, everything was green, big trees, flowers, grass, but somehow empty. When you look closely, every tree and flower was the same, just the colour was a bit different. I was abled to feel a warm breeze from the back of my head. It was now that i realise, my hair was pretty long. And the colour was black. I ... i somehow, know this but at the same time, i am suprised. I never inspected any part of my body before. I do not know how my face looks, i do not know how my body looks, just the hair. Long hair that could even reach my knees. For how long have i been in this world ? I have never felt this calm. I ... somehow recognize this place, i do not know it, like, on a map, but standing like this and just looking around, it seemed familiar. I decided to sit down and rest for a bit, because i was really tired. But every time i closed my eyes i could see Shy and ... blood ... everywhere ... After several attempts to not let go of my consciousness, i gave up and fell asleep.

Where am I? Oh . . . Yes, i forgot, it seems like I fell asleep. Wait, this place, it''s not the same, where am I? Looking around I realized that I am in another hall, with stairs and all. But this time I saw something shining in the distance. Usually, there was supposed to be a thing in the middle, I suppose because it''s the exact same round hall. Well not exactly the same, this place was a mess, most stairs were destroyed, only ruins remained on the ground, many holes in the walls and, well, everywhere to be honest. I slowly gulped out of anxiety and began walking really, really careful towards the shine. It was on the opposite wall of me. Coming closer to it I saw letters on a metal plate hooked on the wall. I stretched out my right arm towipe the dust from the plate and that was when i realised that I was holding the sword. But, it was different, the sword was longer, it was still the pointy sword from before but it seemed longer to me. Looking further down i realised that I was wrapped in rags, my whole body was like that. Interesting . . . Anyway. I stretched out my left arm and i wiped the dust from the plate. I began reading slowly OBSTACLE 2 . . . I immediately looked at the sword. Touching the blade i realised that there was a little crack in the middle of the sword. Obstacle 2 . . . That''s the second bit of the sword. It makes sense, but i did not fight here. If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.Wait . . . When Shy came, she gave me the same rags that i am wearing now. And she used to say that she passed through all obstacles. And the world, she described her world as ''''different from mine''''. Maybe she ment that her world was the opposite of mine, if that''s the case. Isn''t this her world? But . . . Why . . . Why am i here ? - Entering memory system name ''''Sword 02'''', ''''Obstacle 3'''' - SUCCESSFUL Woah, what was that, who said that- . . . ... Ouch, my head hurts. My vision was blurry so i rubbed my eyes a bit. After awhile, my vision adjusted, and what i saw was another hall, this time, it did not even look like one. Absolute destruction, ruins everywhere you look, blood was spred on nearly every wall, and the smell was horrible. But still no creature, or should i rather say giant. Looking down, i saw that my whole body was in blood, the smell was coming from me, and the sword it was even longer now, the blade had it''s third bit. Is this . . . I ran to the shiny plate that was on a huge boulder next to the stairs. It was probably thrown by the creature. I wiped the dust and . . . Just what i thought, Obstacle 3. - Entering memory system name ''''Sword 02'''',''''Obstacle 4'''' - SUCCESSFUL Again with this voice ? . . . ...The same thing this time it''s the fourth one ... Oh god . . . What is this place. The stench, the blood, the gore... I could not handle that much... So i threw up... What is this, what happened here. Why is there so much blood. And i am covered in it too. Trying to walk a bit i realised that my back hurt a lot. trying to touch it there was a lot of blood. Oh no, what did i do. The pain was tremendous. I had to sit down because it made me a bit dizzy, everything started to become white. No, no it hurts . . . I started crying. The more i moved, the more it hurt. I can''t. Hold on ... I , i . . . I collapsed on the floor. - Entering memory system name ''''Sword 02'''',''''Obstacle 5'''' - SUCCESSFUL . . . ...My consciousness slowly adapted to the situation, and i slowly started to get up on my feet. I saw that there was no more blood on me, but i was really dirty. And i was starting to get hungry and thirsty. Luckily there was a lake right infront of me. I began running towards it but the pain coming from my back was slowing me down alot. When i finally reached the lake i started drinking like crazy. When i finally satisfied my thirst i sat down and looked around. It was the same forest, like i was back at the first obstacle again, where i fell asleep. But no, it was not the first obstacle, there was no hall nearby. The weather was so warm, the leaves were giving off such a calm noise. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. ...: How was the water,child? Did you like it? Ayshi: What ? I immediately jumpedupand looked behind me. The voice sounded like an old male voice. But much, much more deeper. It was a big humanoid looking thing. Ayshi: The fifth obstacle. I said silently. ...: I have been taking care of this water for a very, very long time. And a child just like you came by not so long ago. She looked, well, exactly the same. But, no, you are not her, are you ? No, you are giving off a completely different feel from her. You are scared, perhaps, frightened from me? I just stood on one place i could not even say a single word. It was probably a12 meters long thing with a voice so deep that the ground beneath my feet was shaking from every sound that he made. With every word he said he was taking a small pause which gave off an even stranger experience. Ayshi: Who are you ? ...: Ah, I forgot my manners, i apologise, my name is Velikan, nice to meet you, small child. Ayshi: My name is- Velikan: No need to introduce. I already know your name,Ayshi. Ayshi: But how did you know ? Velikan: This is but a fragment of what i know about this place. Come, let me tell you, well, about you. I slowly began walking towards his legs, because i clearly could not see anything else, the trees were covering the rest of the body. I heard crackings and at the next moment i heard a great stomp upon the earth. Yes that''s right, he sat down. I probably had to run 500 meters or even more to get near his place. Where he sat. Velikan: Oh, dont worry, I''ll get you. A huge hand came down to me from the trees. Velikan: Come on, grab my finger. I grabbed one of his fingers and he lifted me near his face. It was just like a normal human''s face. With long white hair. Big and long white beard. Fuzzy and long eyebrows. And he was actually wearing, a wooden armor of a sort. Just a bunch of threes tied up into an armor. Velikan: So, where should i start from. Ah, yes, the proffesor. It all started like this. Chapter 6 - There is no meaning Velikan: He was a good man with a kind, but . . . tearing, from the inside heart. There was, a certain someone, he wanted to protect, but all he could do was watch. Ayshi: Who was that someone? Velikan: It was - GIANT ! ! . . . ...: It''s over. GIVE ... ME ... THE CODING! A sudden voice came from behind of us, it was my voice, another Ayshi . . . Velikan: A guest, but please, come, don''t be scared. Invader Ayshi: I am not scared of you, but you should be . . . I have been, searching . . . for 20 years . . . to finally find you in . . . this miserable lake? Velikan: Miserable? Why, how dare you, I have been taking such great care of- Invader Ayshi: SILENCE CREATURE! I have no more intention to talk, this is my last warning. Give me the coding, or- . . . Velikan: Yes, yes, we all know, blah blah blah, you are going to kill me blah blah . . . only words. Show me how determined you are . . . or, should I say . . . THEY ? If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.Yes, i know, you came with your little ''''Unity''''. I know that they are all here. Show yourselves Ayshis, no need to hide. Suddenly behind the invader came out two women, from afar you could tell that the three of them were covered in wooden armor and helmets. You could not see their faces, neither their expressions but the two new ones were moving alike, they looked alike even in armor. It was like one was mimicking the other and the other way around. Invader Ayshi: At the moment you opened the memory of her, I sensed a disturbance in the coding. So you were pulling the strings here. Did you send one of our own to fight against us? Velikan: ''''One of us''''? Dear child, you do not even deserve the name of Ayshi. Invader Ayshi: You know nothing about me, nothing about what I have witnessed. WHO ARE YOU TO BLAME!? Velikan: Oh, but I know . . . it does not have to end like this . . . we both know the truth, we are on the same side. Invader Ayshi: I . . . Velikan: You feel it, don''t you, let go of your hatred. Invader Ayshi: QUITE! Kill him, now. Velikan quickly let go of me, and with a single touch right on my forehead he quickly said: ''''Sorry child, I have so much more to tell you, but, there is no time ... run to the door over there. You will know what to do when you come closer to it.'''' He then stood up once again and with a fierce roar that was so powerful that it made an earthquake he rushed forward to the invading Unity. I stood for a second, and then turned around and rushed towards the door. After every few steps I looked behind, I wanted to see if he was still there, if he was still moving or even fighting, I wanted to know that he was there. He felt like an ally to me, someone who knows a lot about this place or places. I could have learned much from him. No, what am I doing . . . I must help him! I stopped running towards the door and turned around. But . . . there was no one there anymore . . . Silence came in . . . The roars stopped the stomping too. The fight was over, I was late. Useless again, watching from afar how someone dies in front of me without anything I could do about it. Shy . . . and now him . . . Why do I even run? What is the purpose of this place? What is my purpose? Your purpose is... TO DIE. Chapter 7 - Unraveling Truth *Stab* Ayshi: AGH ! . . . My eyes closed . . . for a moment all was quiet, but that voice . . . it sounded in my head . . . - Closing memory system name ''''Sword 02'''',''''Obstacle 05'''' - SUCCESSFUL - Trying to load file ''''Test world 01'''' - SUCCESSFUL - Entering... I suddenly woke up, jumping even from the spot where I was lying. I was breathing heavily because of a piercing pain that was coming from my back. That was the place where I was stabbed. I touched it, but there was nothing, all was good. I felt relieved. Right after that, i looked at where I was. Back to the old place. Back to Shy''s corpse . . . lying just in front of me. I then looked at the sword I was holding, it was her''s. So this memory entry thing, that voice I heard the giant, the other Ayshi''s and the stab. Were they real? How was I supposed to know? There is nobody that I can ask anymore. . . . After two hours. I buried Shy''s body and paid a proper respect. May her soul rest . . . wait . . . rest ? NO, but I am so stupid. We can''t die. We respawn, right? I instantly rushed the first place that I have awakened. But she was not there . . . only the corpse of the undead that she killed when we first met. This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.Where is she? . . . I realized something and then went down the stairs again in a bit of a hurry, eager to know where was I actually. Going down I saw that the giant was not there. But was he not there the whole time? I remembered him sleeping. I did not check if he was here or not. I was too distracted with all of this pain and then Shy''s body. . . No matter I have her sword with me. I need no giant. I started to look around the hall. Of course, it was dark so I took a branch and lit it on fire. And after searching for a while I found a metal plate under a big boulder. It was sticking out a bit. But wait, that boulder, I do not remember it being here when Shy was still talking about going behind the giant. I instantly looked up and saw that there were a lot of holes on the wall, each and everyone higher placed than the other. ''''the holes in the wall make for the perfect stairs'''' that was what she said wasn''t it? So someone killed him after all. But there is no blood or body. Something strange is going on around here. What am I saying? Everything was strange from the beginning I woke up here. Anyway, I pulled the plate out and read it ''''Obstacle 01'''' Obstacles. . . What was that voice saying, something about obstacles? It was transferring me from one to another. I''ve seen them all. But this place really does look different. . . . I AM NO DETECTIVE! GOD, why am I here, seriously, what is the god damn logic of being here. What do I do, just wait to be murdered? Why are there giants, obstacles, swords, and ME, SO MANY ME''S in this place? I dropped down on my knees rubbing my hair, frustrated because I could not understand a thing. I stayed like this for a while and sighed. I give up, I do not want to see this hall anymore, I''m tired of everything. I just want to know where I am. IS THAT TOO MUCH? ... HEY, STUPID VOICE! CAN YOU HEAR ME? ... Tell me where I am damn it ... after 5 minutes of attempting to call the voice that was sounding in my head before, I finally thought of something. What about the coding thing that the giant was talking. What was that all about. Coding . . . - Coding activated. wait, WAIT! I GOT IT, I GOT THE VOICE! THANK YOU, GOD.
