THE SHADOW CORRIDOR

Floor 10!

Second Boss Found! (2/5)

BETA WOLF !!! LVL33

"Angus!!!!" I screamed as I came to my senses to find myself still looking in darkness! I turned around frantically, trying to find out where I was, and where Angus disappeared to!

"Angus! Angus, where are you?!!!" I shouted out with little regard for what would happen! The way my Brass Boots and Copper Knuckle Leather Gloves sounded against the walls and floor, told me I was in a corridor of sorts.

'Wait, Brass Boots?! New gloves?! Where the heck did I get these?!!!' My mind started up again, but it didn't go far before a sent caught My nose and almost knocked me out cold! Almost reflexively, I covered my nose with my tunic and started retreating, but found out too late that my tunic wasn't a tunic, but instead, a Copper Chestplate, and my eyes began to water as I started losing consciousness!

In a dash of desperation, I pumped my head full of Body Reinforcement essence and I started feeling the drowsiness subside!

A minute later, I was good enough to stand on my feet without spiralling into dizziness, and then I assessed the situation.

1. I'm in a new floor. The best I can come up with is that I was out of it somehow and Angus brought me here.

2. I'm blinded. Either that or down here is so dark I can't even see my nose. A quick blast of Explosion proved the second theory to be accurate, and had me both sighing in relief and screaming in pain as my pupils constricted violently at the sudden light.

3. Angus is missing. Or she might as well be in this soup. I'd like to use my Explosion essence, but I don't have adequate level of mastery most I can handle is about 5 pops a minute, and it'd be bad if my essence ran out because of that which means,

4. I need a light source. When I pumped my head full of essence before, I felt my senses change. It wasn't like they got stronger, or anything, just that they seem to be more... pronounced? It's like, when it comes to certain stimuli, I could already sense them, but now they became more, obvious. Like they were a footnote I once just glanced at without giving them a second thought, but now I was actively seeking them out. Anyway, I say this to say, when the strong scent hit me, I also smelled smoke from a outed flame. And that means, there's a torch or something near here!

I scrounge around for a bit before my hand hand hit a wooden stick, and after slowly feeling around to take it up without accidentally knocking it away, I finally got my hands on it to find that it was still hot! To the point where I was wondering why embers weren't still on it! But most importantly... Angus is still here!

I immediately shot an Explosion over it and it caught fire near instantly. I started looking around frantically for Angus when I met my next predicament.

"Angus?! Angus?!!! Are you o.... kay..."

6. I might like yuri.

'WAIT, WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING!!!' I shouted in my mind flustered as I quickly turned away from the sight before me and crouched on the ground to get myself together and get control of the blush that was burning my face! I then turned back around to see that I indeed did not imagine what I saw!

What greeted my eyes was a very vibrantly purple headed Angus with her waist length hair flared out around her head on the floor, a peaceful and rather unusually cute look - for her - on her face as she breathed the even breath of sleep.

Upon her laid a lean, slim girl that seemed taller than her by a good bit! She have on a short sleeved white blouse, paired with a Crop Top Leather Vest complete with Leather Shoulder Guards, a Leather Shoulder Belt, Leather Spats Shorts, Leather Boots and Leather Fingerless Gloves. IHer belt hung low on her waist and the way her head was buried into Angus' che.... ENOUGH OF THIS!!!!!

One thing did get my attention though. Her hair, which was short, and mostly light blue, with some small green streaks peppered in and a deep red streak of hair hanging over her right eye. What caught my attention is not the colours though, but that the hair combination looked ridiculously familiar. In fact, it was almost the dead stamp of... no, it can't be!!!

I promptly dropped what I was thinking and proceeded to move her of, yes to see if it is who I think it is and because they really can't stay like that forever, but also because my nose felt heavy, and I don't know what game mechanics are in place for these situations....

You know, let's just stick with the first two reasons... yeah.....

I got to them, held my breath because the scent was still there, and I rolled Mystery Ma'am off of Angus, then I gasped in surprise!

Her face was half covered in some purple goop, but I could tell without a doubt who she was! How could I? I've been seeing her face for years after all.

'Miss Elenora, what the s*** are you doing here?!'

Angus

Back Outside

You Have Been Hit With "Deep Sleep"

Force Logged Out For 1 minute

I opened my eyes to find myself in a white and grey room with white fluorescent lighting. Nothing was in the room save for a bed with a metal bed stand and white sheets, and a small table stand with a box beside it. Just the way I f***** left it...

"F*** I hate this place." I muttered as I winced in the light, from the overhead fluorescent bulb. I took the terminal off of my head and looked around for a bit. Soon by head stopped moving as I spotted a tin of Vienna Sausages, a small bag of crackers, and an Udels Wower Aid on my table.

'Ah, so today's sunday.' I said in my mind as I picked up myself from the bed and walked over to the table, picked up the food, and went right back. My mouth was watering as I opened the packages. Before I use to despise these, loathe them for their implications. But now I only see them as a means to an end.

I polished of the scraps so fast, my stomach started to hurt, and downed the drink to quell it some. Calm and a little sated, I started to reflect on how things were going.

This is probably the longest I've went without dying ingame out of 17 attempts! Ever since I found out about the prize, I sacrificed a s***ton to get this far. I sold my first account for the information for this gig. And I've been trying for months now with no dice, and now that the Battle Mini was in a few days, or weeks ingame, I can't afford to die. I all of a sudden started giggled to myself at how accurate the brat was.

*Ping*

I took back up my gear, made myself comfy with the flat-**s piece of cloth I had to call a pillow, and logged back in.

'Yep, that kid is a weird one...'
