The party reached the edge of where the flowers ended. Ferti took in a deep breath before turning back to look at her teammates.

"Alright guys," she swallowed hard, "we're gonna walk towards that blue flower, and when we do, we are gonna fall."

"Fall?!" Dspects exclaimed.

"Yes, fall."

"Fall into where?"

"Snib's Crib."

"Huh... oh yea... makes sense," Dspects nodded head as if he had understood everything the whole time. Ferti rolled her eyes before she led her party closer to the blue flower. They walked and when she was a step behind the spot where she last fell she stopped.

"Alright," she took a deep breath in, "brace yourself," she warned them as she took a step further. She clenched her teeth ready for the fall, but it never came as her foot stepped onto another patch of lilies. "Huh?" she looked down, confused. She stomped her feet on the ground but nothing happened.

"Uh... so... what's going on?" Dpsects asked. Ferti blinked furiously, also confused.

"Umm..." she bit her lip, "I'm... not sure..." she cocked her head.

"Hey! Did you lie to us?!" she heard Dspects yelled before pulling on her shoulder and turning her around.

"Woah!" Ferti lost her balanced at the sudden movement as she started to stumble backward. She grabbed on Dspects hand as she fell, but saw that he also lost his balance as he started to fall down on top of her. She readied herself for the ground but she couldn't feel it as she just continued plummeting downwards.

"AAAHHH!!" both her and Dspects yelled out. She felt the wind run past her face before she felt a stinging pressure on her back and behind. The landing knocked both the air out of them as they just let out a small groan.

-35 HP

Ferti narrowed her eyes at the screen that just appeared.

"35?" she blurted out before feeling the weight on top of her. She raised her head to see Dspects still groaning on top of her and she gave him a small glare. She watched as he shook his head and had his hand on his head muttering,

"That was so scary! Oh my goodness! Oh my God! Oh my Buddha! Oh my Allah! Oh my Science! Oh m-"

"Are ya fucking done yet?!" Ferti yelled at him and he flinched, startled, before turning her head and looking at her. He gave her an embarrassed smile, his cheeks flushed a tomato red.

"Uh... yea?" he replied.

"Then can you get off?!"

"Huh?" Dspects looked at her face before looking down at her body and then looking at her face again before jumping off of her, "Ah! My bad! Sorry!" he apologized. Ferti let out a sigh before standing up and patting the dirt off her clothes.

"Ahhh!" she heard yelling from above her and looked up to see the other party members coming down. She moved to the side avoiding them as she watched Elizabat land on her feet, bending her knees. In Elizabat's arms was Foggy, who was carried princess style, as he wrapped his arms around Elizabat's neck. Foggy panted as he tried to calm himself down.

"Wee oh woo!" Dspects suddenly whistled and Ferti let out a small chuckle.

"Ah!" Foggy let out an embarrassed yell before jumping out of Elizabat's arms. His face flushed red as he gave out a nervous laugh. Elizabat just hmphed and crossed her arms.

"So how'd it feel buddy?" Dspects elbowed Foggy. "How'd it feel to be in the arms of the one that yo-"

"So what's the plan?" Foggy yelled out as one of his hands had balled into a fist and hit Dspects's... little brother.

"AuaUAGHuouuuuu!" Dspects let out a cry before dropping to the ground his hand over his crotch. Ferti let out a small cough that also had a mix of a laugh with it. "You motherfucker! How da AHH! IT BURNS! Ah... I... I trusted you man... trust..." Dspects let out a small whimper as small teardrops escaped his eyes. Ferti just chuckled before clearing her throat.

"Well, first of all, we are here to accomplish two things... make that three. The first is to obviously level up. The second is to get those herbs right over there," Ferti pointed to the Hosuc Posuc that shone underneath a ray of sunlight, "the third is to find an exit. Also, remember what I taught you guys about the snibs, Foggy's gotta ice them first before we can actually kill them. If we fail then we will meet up at Dspect's place after the banned time. Alright?"

"Aight! Sounds good!" Foggy gave thumbs up as he let out an empty laugh.

"How do we know where the snibs are going to appear?" Elizabat asked.

"Last time, they appeared when I went near that bush of Hosuc Posuc. Before we head toward the Hoscu Posuc herbs, to which I assumed have stronger snibs guarding it, let's wander around in the dark for a while to get the weaker snibs so we can level up."

"Aight, let's get started then," Foggy nodded his head in agreement. Dspects quietly wiped his tears away as he pulled out his spear.

"Take the lead, Batty," he sniffled. Elizabat put on her silver gloves as she started to walk toward the darkness with Dspects behind her. Ferti just chuckled as she followed Dspects with Foggy taking the rear. It would've been better to have another fighter take the rear end but since they couldn't find another trustworthy person to put in their party, they just decided to have Foggy take the rear end so that Ferti can still be protected and heal them.

-

Not before long they ran into a snakelike creature that was half the size of the one she first encountered. They bear many similarities such as having the same yellow scales with brown patterns on it, and having venom dripping from its fangs, however, this one's eyes were grey whereas the other one's was a deep black.

"Identify!" Ferti said.

Monster Identified!

Name: Grey-eyed Snib

Level: Low leveled

A snib is a creature that has evolved from its great ancestor a Crusaniblutia.

"Elizabat, be careful of its fangs. Dspects, try to hit the same spot more than once so that it does more damage. Foggy chant the spells to boosts Elizabat's defense and Dspects speed," Ferti ordered.

"Heekee!" the snake hissed at them. Elizabat immediately took charge as she rushed forward so that the snake's aggro would be focused on her. Ferti distanced herself so that her low level wouldn't make the snake switch targets. Foggy step forward and started to chant his magic as Dspects started to sneak attack the snake from its tail.

"Roger," Dspects and Foggy replied as Elizabat just gave a slight nod of her head. Ferti stayed back to observe the situation and also kept her attention on the area around them to make sure that other snibs weren't coming. Due to the fact that she was playing a support role since her class hasn't been determined yet, the stats of her group members also appeared in big screens before her. For other classes, the group members stats would just be up at a corner or where the player set them to be normal. She swiped Elizabat's screen so that it was in the middle because Elizabat was taking the most damage and she needed to take care of her the most. When she noticed Elizabat got poisoned she quickly used anti-poison.

Anti-poison failed!

"Tsk!" she clicked her tongue and tried again.

Anti-poison failed! Anti-poison failed!

She pressed her lips together and she tried once more.

Anti-poison succeeded!

"Finally!" she let out a sigh of relief. She looked at Elizabat's health bar to see it almost half depleted and she quickly healed her. "Foggy, start chanting your ice spell! Dspects, try aiming for other spots to see if that does more damage! Elizabat, just keep doing what you're doing," she ordered. Foggy took a step back as he started chanting his ice spell which was going to take some time. Ferti took a step toward him just in case an enemy came so she can aggro them away. She watched Dspects aim at other places which started to irritate the snib because it turned it's attention to Dspects. Dspects sidestepped as the snib jumped out at him. He managed to get out of the way in time, but who knew that the snib would actually whip its tail at him, causing him to fly back a few steps before staggering to a stop.

"Elizabat take back the aggro before Dspects gets even more hurt. Dspects move away, your defense won't be able to handle the snib's hits for long," Ferti ordered. Dspects immediately withdrew a distance away as Elizabat charged in front of the snib. "Foggy, ya ready yet?"

"Just give me 20 more seconds!"

"Alright, Dspects try to keep your distance as you attack. Elizabat be careful to not get poisoned as my anti-poison skill is still a bit too low leveled and I have to try a few times before it works. Heal!" Ferti chanted and a green light glowed from Dspects as his health bar went back up.

"Alright, I'm ready! Freezing ice!" Foggy chanted as an enchanted circle appeared in front of him. A light blue ball of light flashed through the circle before hitting the snib. The ball of light slowly spread as the snib tried to wriggle away, but before it could its whole body turned into a long ice sculpture. Dspects wiped off the sweat trailing down his forehead as he relaxed his arms.

"Whew! That was... more difficult than I thought it was going to be," Dspects commented as they all walked up to the ice sculpture.

"So... this is the hard part. I know that we are supposed to shatter its body, but I'm not sure how it's supposed to be done... and we need to figure it out before the ice spell wears off," Ferti bit on the nail of her thumb. Foggy gave her a strange look before pressing his fingers on his forehead.

"Hmmm..." he mumbled.

"Let's just smashed the freaking thing!" Dspects pierced it with his spear. His spear hit the ice before the pressure came back to him and he fell back a step. "Woah! What the heck? This thing's as hard as a freakin rock!" Dspects tried again only to fail in vain. Elizabat also walked up to it and punched it with her fist but that also did nothing to the snib.

"Light and fire... Foggy try enchanting your fire spell onto it," Ferti suggested as she remembered that Crusaniblutias were weak to fire and light.

"On it," Foggy nodded his head. Dspects let out a small yawn as he pulled his canteen out for a drink.

"Don't relax too much. We might get ambushed around here," Ferti warned as she continued to look around them. Dspects lazily nodded his head as he gulped down his water and then shoved his canteen away.

"Yea yea, I know," he waved his hand back and forth.

"You almost done, Foggy?"

"Yea, just ten more seconds."

"Alright, let's all take a step back just in case," Ferti moved away and so did Dspects. Foggy couldn't move back because he was still chanting the spell so Elizabat moved in front of him to protect him instead.

"Burning fire!" Foggy chanted. An enchanted circle appeared in front of him again as a red ball of light hit the iced snib. The ice on the snib started to gradually melt before the snake-like creature fell to the ground. Everyone was quiet as they watched the scene. The snib didn't seem to be moving as it continued to lay there lifelessly.

"Is it... dead?" Dspects whispered.

"Err... if it is... then where are our drops?" Foggy whispered back.

"It's... not dead...." Ferti could only reply, "the body is supposed to shatter... I think... but they are evolved now so I'm not sure either..."

"Maybe it just needs the final blow?" Dspects took a step forward. When he did that Ferti saw the snib start twitching. The snib's eyelids then suddenly flew upwards as the grey eyes were now glowing red.

"Oh shit..." Ferti felt the ends of her hair stand up, "run!" she yelled as she started to dash away.

"Huh?" Dspects could only mutter before a deafening screech filled the air.

"HEEEKKEEEE!" the snib hissed. Out of nowhere, there appeared to be glowing balls of red lights from the darkness that surrounded them. Ferti didn't run really far when she heard a small yelp and then a screen appeared in front of her.

Party member Dspects has just died! Party member Elizabat has just died!

"Wait for me!" she heard a cry of help behind her and turned her head to see Foggy running toward her with tears flowing out of his eyes. Behind him were hoards and hoards of snibs hissing ferociously. She heard a hissing in front of her and turned her head back to see the first snib she saw when she first entered this game glaring its black eyes at her. She froze in her tracks as she knew there was no way out. She felt her knees grow weak as the snib bared its fangs at her, which was three times the size of the snib that they were fighting.

"I...dentify..." she weakly said.

Monster Identified!

Name: The Black Eyed King

Level: High leveled

The king of all snibs in Snib's Crib.

"Haha... ha... ha..." Ferti only let out an empty laugh before the king snib flew down at her and wrapped its teeth around her body. She closed her eyes and just accepted her fates. It only took a couple seconds before another screen flashed in front of her.

You have just died and is banned to enter the game for the next two hours.

-

Mona pulled off her VR helmet before letting out a long sigh.

"Why was I so stupid? Why would I suggest fire magic before light magic especially since the snib was just iced... ahhh!" she cried out as shook her head. She let out another sigh as she stared at her ceiling and her lips slowly curled up. She let out a small laugh as she felt the excitement in her heart pound even faster. "Just you wait you snibs... I'm gonna get all of you!" she declared before she sprung up on her bed and grabbed her laptop to see if there was any more information on the forums.

-

After an hour of lurking on the forums, she didn't find anything too special. She rubbed her stomach as she closed her laptop. She got up from her bed and headed to the kitchen to grab something to fill up her empty insides. A song suddenly chimed within her apartment and her eyebrows rose as she turned her head to the door.

"Aunt Lorey?" she questioned as she walked up to her door. The only people who had ever visited her were Mr. Ferk and her aunt. She looked through the peephole. The peephole was blocked and she let out a small chuckle as she knew her aunt liked playing tricks like these. She opened her door and her eyes widened as she saw the person behind it. She was expecting to see her aunt's lively smile but she was met with shocked blue eyes, short brown tousled hair, and a brown bag which emitted of a delicious scent.

"Mo... na?" the person asked.
