《The Crawford's Multiverse of Madness》Chapter 41 - He'll Have To Look For Me
Advertisement
(Alice POV)
"My name is Alice. I worked for the Umbrella Corporation, in a secret laboratory developing experimental bio weaponry.
There was an incident, a virus escaped. Everybody died. trouble was...
They didn't stay dead. This was the start of an apocalypse that would sweep the entire world.
But in the midst of chaos, I managed to find my happiness in a man named Zeel Crawford.
With no memories of my life before and nothing to look forward to I guess I was thrilled to find someone just as lost as me.
We traveled together for two years: learning, adapting, falling in love helplessly with each other,
But that all changed a couple of months ago when we split apart,
We both had different objectives since taking the previous base in the desert,
Zeel being the wanderer he is, craved exploration and other hidden agendas I wasn't made pricy to,
I now had a mission, an objective to carry out no matter what – the destruction of Umbrella.
Zeel was against me using the clones as my personal soldiers even if the girls agreed to it,
One thing led to another and here I am six months later – a single married woman.
Quite paradoxical right? But why do the men responsible for this disaster get to remain happy?
The men responsible for this disaster, this apocalypse took refuge underground
And continued to experiment with the deadly T-Virus. They felt secure in their high-tech fortress.
But they were wrong. After all, 'Hell hath no fury like a woman in the apocalypse who just lost the love of her life'
And I plan to make the Umbrella High Command feel the same pain I felt for years,
Watching my sisters die in experiment after experiment,
Now I plan to let the hate burn like a flame and incinerate all those under the Umbrella banner

This is supposed to be the last facility the girls and I would destroy after this year-long world tour targeted at the destruction of known Umbrella bases.
I am no genius with a computer, but I can do enough to get by especially with the nanites in my system helping me hack the Umbrella Corporation computers. I found three locations for underground facilities before the data was deleted.
Over the past year since the separation with Zeel, I have destroyed two bases that secured the most resources for the Umbrella Corporation.
I hope that destroying a third would at least cripple them enough to buy some time.
For what exactly? I am not sure, but I just need time to figure out what's my next move. Maybe look for Zeel? Maybe explore with my sisters? Maybe… maybe I could start a family of my own?
The girls seemed interested in touring this withered planet looking for others to help.
Though I knew it was an excuse as they seemed to want to give Zeel and me some space, after all they felt pretty bad about the breakup since it was their fault for screwing him 24/7.
Most of the girls have already left on their journey but a few remained, the few that remained only did so because their decay rates were higher than the later perfected clones.
Meaning they would die after a couple of months out of the incubation chamber,
Before he left Zeel had found a method to slow the decay rate but the girls refused to take the treatment saying "They rather die for something they believed in than living in a world that had already been brought to its knees"
I think Zeel and I were too experienced in love, and the burden of the sisters caused us to major out of the honeymoon stage faster than we would have liked to.

*Boom* *Boom*
Destruction rains in the underground facility as I sneak aboard a next-generation jet parked in the bay, it would serve as a trap for Wesker.
Not long after I boarded he came running out of the base and swiftly jumped into the pilot seat and began lifting off.
In the distance I could hear, nay … I could feel the battle ongoing, I could feel the struggle of my sisters as they took their last breaths, I could hear the gargles of those they killed in the facility, I could also feel the sense of accomplishment they reveled in knowing our journey had come to an end.
When Wesker had flown a fair distance away, I heard it:
"Intruder Alert. Purge Facility."
"Authorization." The on-board AI asks.
Wesker puts his handprint at the location indicated as the AI confirms "Countdown Started!"
The next thing I see through the window is a massive explosion enough to level an entire city, I felt a twinge in my heart mourning for the death of my sisters but I know they would prefer a warrior's death than a scum's life.
Walking up behind Wesker I point a gun to the back of his head.
"Any last words?" I ask contemplating if I should pull the trigger and be done with it or attempt to find out the secrets he keeps – no doubt a bad habit picked up from Zeel's mentality of 'Get the maximum out of each kill'.
"How nice to finally meet the real you." He replies and with a swift motion, almost at Zeel's level of speed, he injects something into my neck. 'Fuck' I think as I wonder how I could be so careless, anyway what's done is done.
"Hurts...doesn't it? Well, it's just the start of the bad news. All those powers of yours... Speed ...Strength... Accelerated healing... Well, you can kiss all those goodbye," He brags as I'm struggling to breathe on the ground.
"What have you done?" I asked through rough breaths.
"The Serum I've injected you with is neutralizing the T-cells within your body. Put simply...The Umbrella Corporation is taking back its property. You just didn't work out. So, you are being withdrawn." He goes on to explain and then I feel it the nanites inside my body seem to be acting up to expel the substance, feels like it will take a while though.
I notice I can't use my telekinetic powers anymore either so I guess it really does what he says.
"I am what you used to be... Only better." Wesker brags once again.
"Please wait," I struggle to say, using the last power of my nanites to hack the piloting system.
"Last words?" he asked looking intrigued.
"Thank you" I reply.
"For killing you?" he questions with a confused look on his face causing me to giggle for the first time in months.
"No, for messing with the nanites, now he'll have to come to look for me. After all, I am a woman and still have my pride. Can't go chasing after a man even if it is the apocalypse" I said laughing to myself as if I have won a great victory.
Then he noticed that all this while the jet has been on a collision course with a mountain.
The AI and Wesker attempt course corrections many times but it was too late as I had already locked in the destination "Pull up...Terrain...Terrain... Pull up...Terrain...Terrain..."
*Crash*

Blackened Blood[Progression Fantasy]
Broken and lost by the dredges of this world a boy awakens once again into life's game within hallowed black halls, his first taste of new life cold and hunger along with the echoing drip of temptation. Deep sickness festering within in him. Given a second chance by either coincidence or something more sinister, follow the story of he who bleeds black. Betrayal, greed and blood littered in droves across this hellbound path. ********** 2000+ words daily for now, will reduce to thrice a week after the writathon. If it wasn't clear, this is a vampire story taking place in a high fantasy environment. Although while its main character is a vampire and that is one main focus of the story it will also lend itself to the magic side of this world as well. Basically, if you're interested in vampires or magic heavy stories, this will have something for you... probably. The synopsis is kinda vague but If you give it a shot, I think you'll like it. Also, feel free to drop any sort of constructive criticism since this is one of my first experiences writing in first person.Forgot to add that the story will be a little less action-orientated until around chapter 20+ when... well... read and see :) Any chapters with the * next to them have been edited or tweaked. I'll remove it once all of them are.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
