《Shadow’s World》Leaving Home.
Advertisement
As the light approached our position, it made me want to knee. I look up at my master and he rolls his eyes. Unlike me, he doesn’t seem struggling to stand. He walks up and picks me up. He puts me on top of his head. The kneeling feeling goes away, and it is easy to stay upright. I could hear laughter the moment my master put me on top of his head. The laughter was coming from the light. As the light was coming closer, my master growls. This wasn’t like him. I never seem him angry before. The light got within 2 meters of my master and stop. My master looks at the light and asks, “What do you want? Go back where you came from no one needs you here?” The light gives out a roaring laughter. I can feel the light point to me even though I couldn’t see the action. The light response, “Give her to me. She has won you this stupid game.” Just by standing on top of my master head, I can feel his fury. The hero of the game looks at my master and crawls away. Even my master’s summons was moving away from my master. He yells, “She isn’t going anywhere. Get off of my planet. Go back to whatever hole you crawled up from!” The light disappears and what appears from the light was my master’s look alike. Well to be fair it was the shadow before I knew him. It turns out there are trillions of the shadow look alike running around throughout the multi-verse. They aren’t as powerful as the shadow, but they are powerful in their own right. They are the planet protectors when they are alive. Nothing can destroy or hurt their people on the planet from an outside source and when need be the shadow look alike can even conquer their own planet to save them from themselves. Emily’s husband was a shadow look alike. The person who goldfish killed and the people rally to kill his killer. He was also a shadow look alike. There are plenty of people here that have seen, known, or relate to the shadow look alike. Anyway, back to the story. It stunned me a person who looks like my master came out of the blinding light and my master despise him. The shadow walks over to my master and pats him on the shoulder and says, “Dude, this is the time to say goodbye. You don’t have long to live and the rabbit on top of your head is a very special. She has done something that should be impossible. She has defied fate. Say goodbye and let her move on to better things. The only thing waiting for her is your death, and after that, I do not understand what would happen to her. But do you think we should leave her here?” I tap my master head. He looks up and I ask, “What does he mean you will die?” He looks at the ground. The shadow replies, “Little one, your master only have a month left to live. He is dying to a rare disease.” Tears start falling from my eyes. The shadow walks up and picks me up from my master. He wipes away the tears and says, “Don’t be a sad little one. You have done the impossible. This game you guys won shouldn’t have been possible. Heck, the demons race you beat shouldn’t have happen. Your master died before he could gather enough forces to destroy them. He could do all of this just because you are here. Be proud of what you could accomplish!” The shadow pets me. A spider appears out of thin air. He walks up to the shadow and says, “So, this little thing was the one that change fate. I can feel her power enough though it is faint. She has unlimited potential, bring her, ***.” That was my first time meeting Anansi. He was such a strange creature. He looked different from the other spiders in the game. He looked alive, well not alive. How can I explain it? The shadow looked exactly like my master. The spiders in the game look life like. Yet, this spider he looked other worldly. He seems perfect from every angle. Looking at him made you want to be a spider. I was looking at the perfect being. Something that shouldn’t be possible but he was there standing in front of me. Heck, his first impression caused me to spend my first few centuries as a spider. I really need to stay on the topic. Sorry little one back to the story. My master snatched me from the shadow’s arms and said, “Why should I let her go with you? This place is her home and from the sounds of it. She has the power to rule this planet. I only need a month with her and she will run this place by herself.” the shadow starts patting me on the head and says, “Yeah she has the power to run this little planet or she can become a god and gain the power to rule the multi-verse.” Everything at the time was going over my head. I didn’t care about ruling anything nor did I care how special I was. I just want to be with my master. I didn’t want him to die. I yell, “Master you will not die right? He is lying. The stupid looking man is lying. We will still be together.” My master sheds tears and hands me over to the shadow. “Go with him, I have little time left. He will take care of you.” The shadows take me into his arms and says, “This have to be a grand celebration. Everyone must say goodbye and also they must become real just for this one moment.” The shadow snaps his fingers made the entire AI world real. Not only that, but he forces everyone in the entire world witness this event. A huge stand rose around us with a huge banner appearing above me. All of my master’s summoning surrounded me. The shadow snaps his fingers again, and it causes the entire world to stand up and wave. My master summoning all yell out goodbye. My master pats me on top of my head and says, “Good luck Isis, you will be a miss.” The shadow snaps his fingers, causing us to leave. I never had time to say goodbye.

Project TheirWorld: Book Two - Tatterskin
**IMPORTANT: Because I am trying to reconcile some of the consistancy issues due to unexpected changes in how I've decided to write the story, this story is to be renamed/reordered. I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience. The Tutorial (completed, but unedited) is now to be concidered as Book One of Tatterskin. Tatterskin will contiune without real inturruption, though "Book Two" is really going to be the rest of the series with multiple volumes. Sorry guys! I've gone and brought the chaos of my real life into the storyverse T-T. ----- Dassah Graydon was just another human woman looking for adventure in her life when she moved to the academic floating continent, the Enclave. But while she wanted to escape her mundane reality, she quickly discovers that her life there – with the exception of all the crazy aliens and the unusual setting – was no different than her life on Earth had been. After spending a couple of months getting used to the place, she finally got the chance to play the popular new VRMMORPG, TheirWorld. As she is drawn deeper and deeper into the game, however, she begins to realize that her in-game life is far more connected to the happenings of reality than she could have imagined. Finding herself in the middle of a conspiracy that threatens her life and the lives of the people around her, Dassah must decide whether she allows herself to be a puppet, or she finds the determination to become the master of her own fate. This is a Project: TheirWorld story, and there is a prequel story, The Tutorial (completed, but unedited) but if I am doing my job, you won't need to have read that to enjoy this one. ____ The story will usually update once a week, sometime on Fridays JST. The updates on Royal Road L will be about 1 chapter behind my main WordPress site found here: Project: TheirWorld. This will change, as the WordPress site will have holiday releases and RRL will not. Thank you for reading, and the support! :) ____
