Entry 7

Have you ever read a webnovel? If you have then have you ever read one where the real world begins to work as a game? I have and they tend to be funny with the tragedy and people dying. I mean I can't stop laughing when I see a party get wrecked. Someone sacrifices themselves and the rest run away crying. If they bothered to look back they could join me in my laughter at the person getting torn to shreds or eaten alive or burned alive or melted by acid or drowned by slime or shocked to death or their brain being melted by that which can't be understood. It's all great. I can't stop chuckling while imagining it.

Ah I just ate so I guess I'll go out and people watch. Lalala just got to skip through my man eating friends. Well I consider them my friends but do they consider me a friend? Friends do kill each other after all so I guess they do. Wow I got a great spot to watch some people get fucked. While I wait on that where was I? Oh yeah I was talking about the real world becoming a game. Like monsters start coming out and people are being killed by them until they get good then turn it on the monsters. They level up and gain special abilities to overcome them. Friends make that life worthwhile and some time love is found.

Well my little friend you'll be glad to know that this world is just like that. I get to hop around and kill and murder and kill and make s'mores and kill some more. While we wait here together for some tasty snacks to pass by I'll tell you my simple origin tale. It is full of suspense and pain and love and all that other shit. Hmm I think I'll put you down right here so you can look out for anyone passing by while I build this fire for s'mores. Would you like some hot chocolate with that? What am I saying? Of course you do. What kind of person doesn't like hot chocolate with s'mores? A headless one perhaps? Anyway I'll start a few minutes before the great change...

I was a normy like everyone else. I had my father and mother who loved each other very much. My two younger siblings both looked up to me. I was a senior in a prestigious high school. I had a hot ass bitch... excuse me I had a lovely girlfriend who I had been with for two years. Huh I guess I was a normy among normies wasn't I? Well I was planning to become a doctor so that I could help save lives all over the world. Alright alright that was bullshit. I was in it for the money and recognition. I mean what can you not do if you say your doctor? Anything short of killing! Ta ting. Hahaha fucking bombass joke right? You get it, it's cause that's what I do now.

Umm I was in class studying for the SATs and the ACTs when it happened. The ground shook and the sky went dark red. Huh? Yeah the skies have been that way ever since. Roars echoed throughout everyone's ears and fear spread through our bodies. With our hair standing straight up we whispered in discussion as to what was happening. And that's when...

Oh shit we got some prey! Let's watch what happens. Ok so there's some wizard bitch, some healer bitch, some knight bitch, and some archer bitch. The last two bitches are guy bitches by the way. Come on man you know I got you with the visuals. I know it's hard to see with those two lazy eyes of yours. Oh shit I think the archer and healer are into each other. They're hugging and crap. You think they're gonna do it? Wait wait the knight is dragging some litter over to them. Aw the healer is crying. I guess that was some weak ass hug. They aren't gonna last too long if that's the case. And they're wrapping up the trash. What nice citizens.

Oh surprise attack from the crab headed dogs. Well buddy if you consider the stats those things have it's not looking too good. But it all depends on how they play the game. They go left, and then they go right. Oh my god they have the wizard. That's a hard deficit to back from but it's not impossible buddy. Oh wow, one must admire the strength of will from the knight with the missing leg. Really the key to winning the game is to keep your head in the game. This is a game of skill but having a physical advantage over the other players does play a big part, back to you buddy. Oh isn't that a beautiful sight. The archer and healer are holding hands while every other body part is ripped to pieces. That's just great sportsmanship.

Well I guess that's all to be seen... wait the knight has done the impossible! He was dealt with adversity and in the face of unending doom he has overcome. See this here is why I watch. You never know what's going to happen. Alright give me a sec I just need to go over there for some meat and I'll start the grilling. And I'm back. I'm expecting the meat to be a little tougher than normal but hey the ones that overcome adversity always taste the best. Oh yeah I was talking about what happened while we were whispering.

So some girl started flying and that scared the shit out of all of us. It turned out that everyone got a power like some perk you would get at the start of a game. We had some guy who was twice as fast as normal. A short girl who could lift grown men with one hand. Just all these fantastical powers that I guess were given to us to give us a chance against the monsters. And can you guess what my power was? No, being an ass is not a power. It's a talent. I couldn't find my power at the time.

Anyway with those new powers some nerd started yelling something about leveling up. He jumped out the window and ran at the biggest monster there was. He did some hand signals and wings grew out his back. He flew up and punched the thing in its mouth. Turns out it was bent over and he had punched its asshole. The thing stood up to be twice as tall as before and swiped with its... appendage maybe? It caught the flying geek in the legs and they went flying one way while he went spinning some other way. He fell to the grown screaming and his wings were all bent and shit. I threw up as the big thing stepped on the half man. Everyone started screaming, crying and running toward the door. I was hell no and ran after them.

As we ran through the hall ways some goblins got the jump on some of the people near the edge of the group. We didn't give a shit and just kept running hoping to find someone that could save us. Some fucker tripped me and I got fucked up by the people running behind me. I ended up passing out and... Damn this barbecue is good! Here I'll set another set for the two of us on the fire. Umm I passed out right? Yeah yeah and I woke up who knows how long later. I got fucked up so I had to limp my way I order to find someone.

The first door I got to had some sweet ass abstract painting on the walls of the room. A lot of people don't get that kind of art but you know I'm classy as fuck. Anyway I wanted to throw up but I had nothing but dust I my gut so I kept going. The second door I got to have some bodies thrown into a middle sized mound. You never know when you gonna meet someone you know and it's awesome every time right? Damn I know the food is good but keep that tongue in your mouth. Manners are important. So I met my girl and I was like 'wassup bad bitch' kneeling next to her. Naa I wasn't that smooth back then. I cried like a baby while holding her cold rigid body. I know I know not the smoothest moves but I was lame back then.

I wanted to take her with me but I was too weak to bring the dead sack with me so had a heart wrecking separation with it. I cleaned her skin with a rag and water. I fixed her hair and clothing. And I sent her body aflame. Some guy had a gasoline producing power so I sent his body on fire and that spread to the rest including her. Oh grace my love for you still outweigh any other love of mine. If I had to give up killing and murder and more killing then I would make such a choice as it would be no choice just action. But she's gone so I'll just live it up here, am I right?

So I kept going and I must have had some good ass luck because I made it to my house. It wasn't much of a walk, to be honest, I lived just around the corner. And to my surprise every single one of my family had survived the brutality that had fallen on this world. I was happy then. That was a happiness that I had never felt until then. Imagine your family dead then you walk into your house and there they are alive and well. They cried. I cried. And we were all together... for about two minutes.

They must have been waiting for a moment in which we all had our guards down. They came in from every door and every window. They grabbed at us. Their hooked claws dug into our skin. They began tearing and ripping. They bit into our flesh and pulled out our organs. Our screams were only drowned out by their screeches of glee. And whilst in the worst pain I have ever felt was delivered to me moments after my greatest happiness it all went black...

What do mean I'm crying? That's just because the smoke is being blown into my eyes. Fuck you, I don't give a shit. I'm the worst motherfucker you'll find around these parts. I've done shit so evil and unforgivable that… I'm sorry. We are all friends here. Let me finish my story.

When I opened my eyes I was in that same group hug with almost everyone I loved. My mouth just hung open in disbelief and before I could speak they came. In through the doors and windows to destroy everything I loved. I felt their serrated claws and razorlike teeth go through my skin and meat. That worst pain had come back and it once again went black. I opened my eyes and my loved ones were around me again. I tried to explain what was going to happen but before they could react it happened again. Pain and more pain.

This kept on happening. The first few times I couldn’t really move against the intruders. The memories of their might made me freeze at the sight of them. But given enough times I learned to fight back but there were just too many of them. They came like a tsunami taking everything in their way down. After you realize that you can't help anyone you start to look around. You had only focused on what they had done to you and how you could fight back. You see them mutilate your siblings. You see your father smashed into the floor leaving only a bloody mess and two twisted limbs. You see your mother dragged along with others grab at her pulling chunks off at a time.

You see more than what I can describe to you and when you no longer open your eyes to those horrors then they go away. They go away until the screaming drills into your head then you hear everything. Every crunch, slash, slice, scream for help, scream to end it, scream to… all this does a number on a person. You get to thinking and weird ideas start seeming much nicer than the alternative. So as soon as you open your eyes you reach for the closest knife, gun, or makeshift club you can find. Then you start killing them before the monsters can arrive.

You try to make it painless but sometimes they struggle or sometimes your aim is just plain shit and they have to go the hard way. There is no way out so you give them a quick one. They look at you with those eyes that go from love to shock and finally to pure terror. You just repeat it's better this way, it's better this way, it's better this way, it's better this way, IT'S BETTER THIS WAY!... You get angry at them for not understanding. How can they? But it doesn’t change how you feel.

Sometimes you get so angry that you stop painlessly killing them and let them experience the alternative. You get so angry at some point that you cease your actions altogether. You sit there motionless and simply watch. Eyes open, happy people, bad things come in, sad people, eyes close, repeat. The sight becomes monotonous and so you get up and try something new. You try to leave. Sure you fail a good number of times before you learn the necessary movements to escape but you make it. You calmly walk out while deep inside is boiling with excitement.

What new things can I watch? You ask yourself until you see other people getting mauled to death. Ahh this is my shit. Skin is tingly, the air is so full, colors so bright, and your mind is completely clear. You watch until you get bored then you get in the action. The monsters are a bit boring but the humans… now there is something to watch. They feel pain, sadness, hatred, happiness, and all those other crazy things. They are much more enjoyable to watch. Well until you get hungry then you got to whip yourself up some porkchops. Manchops? Not as catchy. Monsters are alright tasting but you are a connoisseur so you go for the more flavorsome meat.

Well by you I mean me. What? You don’t know what I am talking about? Look at yourself. Oh wait you need a body for that. Here I'll bring you to the bathroom so you can take a good look at yourself. Tada! You’re a head! A bodyless horseman without the horse. Look you can talk if I grab your chin and move it up and down. Hey you didn’t swallow that knight steak I fed you. Well I guess that's a little difficult with no stomach for it to go to.

Huh? You wanna know where you came from? I found you running around looking for some special item to cure your grandma or something. I hadn't had breakfast yet so I gave you a quick slice and that’s how the bestest of friends met. You and I are going places. Delicious places. You mentioned something about a safe haven? Yeah that’s the place. Let's go say hello to dear old grandma.
