Chapter 5: Captive.
Day.
Forces amassing in an expanse armed and ready to persecute to those who oppose it. Ferocity filled plain as murderous intentions are surfacing in the minds of this veterans, clad in black.
In front of these men there stood a luxurious carriage, windows facing these brave men. Covered by curtains, a voice was heard seeming to give instructions to the men while hiding the bearer of the voice.
One of the men stepped up to the carriage assuming their leader while he received an bag in the size of a pouch.
Clink. Clank.
Sounds of chains was heard.
Cries of despair came from an aged voice with an obvious sound of whip being lashed out.
Night.
Chilling wind brushes upon the grass. The moon reflected on the clear crystal waters of ocean. Sounds of waves akin to a children lullaby is heard.
But then.
Deep in the jungle there lies danger lurking and as it slowly approach the wake of a village.
Sounds of hooves overcame and metal clashing became distinct.
Completely silencing the gentle sound of nature and replaced it with the flames of burning bloody cries.
Despair and fear slowly shrouded the air.
The chilling winds now carry a hint of smell of death.
The reaper bearing its scythe ready to reap the restless souls.
...
As we opened the door we were greeted with blinding lights as our eyes have not yet adapted to the sudden change, we felt slightly noxious. Without waiting for the family to recover, we simultaneously felt chills in our hearts as foreboding danger bested its fangs against us.
As we came to be, it turns out to be coming from the torches and lamps carried on the side by people who wore black sitting atop of their steeds. The suspicious people already surrounded us with that being not only us but the entire village as it may seem, as I saw one of the man reporting the current situation.

"Gather them up, tie them and bring them at the centre. " The leader of the people spoke with a voice akin to metal crashing unto each other.
As helpless as we are, we abided and followed the wishes of the mysterious people.
We were brought at the centre. Walking our way here, I saw and hear people panicking and screaming with the streets being turned upside down, it was an utter chaos. At the centre we were grouped up with the other captives and fear is visible upon their faces. Children crying, adults sobbing, elderly whimpering is what I saw, terrible.
As time passed by, more and more people got rounded up joined the party of captives and this repeated process continued until dawn.
By the way I was incomparably nervous especially when we got 'ambushed' by the back of our house but still you have to admire their thoroughness of not leaving any path or way to escape. As the time grew longer the nervousness I felt transformed into numbness and bring a feeling of familiarity. Going through my 'memories' it is similar to where I was still in high-school where when I'm in front of a crowd I get frightened and nervous until it turns into numbness and brings "calmness" into my mind. Of course, my nervous system is still frantically working (nervous) and with my heart beating wildly completely opposite to the calmness of my mind which helped in occasions where my grades was in the line. Ah, memories. Back to the topic.
...
In between the towering mountains the sun playing hide and seek is on the verge of coming out from its hide and instead seek at the people below this great red. The crown of this king is already visible bring an air of a royalty. It is a sight to behold that can make a common people be breathless not to mention those nature lovers.

Mysteriously, it brings liveliness to my worldright now bringing incredible warmth even though it is still had not reached its peak.
...
Still kneeling on ground my father suddenly kneed me on my back. Having an eye contact conversation with my mother he leaned against me and whispered something to my ear.
My eyes widened until they were 2 full moon opposite to the rising sun. Tears started to roll down my cheeks. My eyes turning blood red with small veins clearly visible from it. In the end, I closed my eyes and meditated clearing my head. I referred to my 'experiences' from my 'memories' and made the most rational decision at this moment that will make my life turn upside down in an instant. Some people may find this decision unreasonable and inhumane in the end I already died and know what death is like.

Bitter
The story of a girl who finds her life is not what she wanted. So she gets another one. Schedule: Story has been completed. Book One is available free on Amazon and EPUB. Books Two to Five are out now. Final Book out soon. Chapters will be around 500-1000 words. This will not change so if you don't like reading very short chapters wait till the end of the week or even end of the month. This many chapters a week isn't easy to pull off so please bear that in mind. This is a VRMMORPG story, but the ones I've read tend to use VR as an excuse to get into a fantasy world and then don't really play up the game aspect other than pulling up a status screen every now and then. To me, MMOs are about more than the fantasy setting. Bugs, exploits, devs who don't understand their own game, OP classes, over the top nerfs, p2w, ridiculous RNG, cash shop fiasco, lockboxes, raging players, broken mechanics, limited bag space, tedious crafting and above all that, a company trying to squeeze money out if its playerbase while pretending they're just in the business of having fun. Of course, then there's the orcs and elves. This story is about finding yourself in a completely immersive fantasy game, but it's also about what a game like that would really be like.

Emperor NPC
The Demon Emperor had taken one billion lives and conquered the realms of elves, dwarfs, and giants. When the final realm of man fell to his armies, the stage was set for their world’s finale. A spire of brilliant light pierced the sky, and as the land was torn asunder, the demon emperor met his death. It was not by the hands of a hero, or goddess’ champion, but by a system developer—a creator of the VRMMO Ark World—masquerading as a god! “It’s ironic that it would be you,” said a voice in the black void of the quantum system. “Strange, that you’ve given me this quest, and stranger that I can’t do it without you.” By the power of the thirteenth system developer, the “goddess” Amarytha, the demon emperor was reborn in a new video game where his character never came to be. In the Ark World Sandbox, humans rule as gods over nations of NPCs. Through mastery of their administration commands, they hold absolute control. Only the demon emperor, liberated by the Player System, can challenge them. A crusade begins with one step. Freedom from humanity begins here! ---------------- I'm going to be upfront here. This is not an anti-hero story. So, if you've come for anti-hero you might not enjoy it. The cover art I commissioned from my friend @cyborgraptor. You can find her on twitter, or tumblr. Absolutely awesome person, and way too humble. She's also a great dps on WoW, and her and I always fought for top of the meters. I update every day, or nearly every day. I'll be updating this quickly as I bring it to parity with my other sites. Afterwards, expect 6 or 7 chapters a week. This is my only job and I approach it professionally.
