'*deeply relieved sigh* Finally!!! I'm back home!!!' I shouted in my head as I got up and stretched out my mental exhaustion!

It was still dark out, so I pulled out my phone to use it's light and looked for my slippers to get up.

I got up from my bed and found it tosled beyond recognition!

'Thinking about it, we've been moving quite a bit in the dungeon.'

I turned on the lights and took some time to straighten my sheets...

Then my stomach woke up.

*Grumble*

'Ah right. We've been in game for over three days, which means it's been over 15 hours since I've eaten anything...'

With that thought in mind, I made my way to the kitchen for some fuel. There I met Crash, sleeping on some newspapers on the floor, which subbed in for a bed. We haven't had the time to get him properly settled in, after all.

I took a bowl and made myself a hearty serving of Cocoa Puffs, got a drink from the fridge, and called that breakfast.

Crash woke up to investigate the noise and I served him a bowl of Doggo Bits just to have some company.

15 minutes of playing with Crash later, and my mood hadn't been improved a bit! In fact, it got worse the more I thought about it!!!

'I can't believe I'm back to square one!' I moaned again in my mind.

'To think that all of that... the shield, the mobs the slights in memory loss... was because of hacks!' it actually all makes sense to be honest. There are way too many spaces in my memory and almost all of them are related to feats that - now that I think of them - would not only be imposible, but down right stupid!

Using a shield as an attack type weapon… my Knife getting broken with one kick… all of those little conveniences and massive inconveniences… I should have seen something like this happening!!!

To take my mind off the slowly increasing depression, I went to the living room, Crash in tow, turned on the hv () and pulled up the BMO Channel.

They were doing a rerun of some clip highlights in-game, so I just sat and mindlessly watched the proceedings, spooning in cereal at an ever-decreasing rate.

'*sigh* This isn't working.' I thought to myself after a full hour, and I got up to turn off the hv and head to my room to play some games.

Then something happened in a clip that caught my eye!

I wasn't too sure if I saw it properly, or if I was just fooling myself, so I almost shrugged it off and went about my way… almost!

Something held me back and told me to take a better look, to see if it really was nothing.

So, after a decent dose of contemplating, I turned back on the hv, head to the recordings section, watched the clip to the point where I left off, and then put that part on a loop.

It was a relatively new clip – by the look of the area – where a group of players were fighting a giant snow crab named Syrus and got a beyond lucky shot and sent the thing flying by pure accident!

A few seconds before that, there was a part where the POV we were watching catches a glimpse of what seems to be a player fighting.

What I saw, or thought I saw, was a very lucky dodge on the players part. But the more I looped it, slowed it down, speed it up, zoomed in and out, and paused it to the exact frame, I found something strange. The player didn't dodge, but instead, the attack flew through him!!!!

Thinking that this couldn't possibly be, I went up to my room, Crash still at my heels, and opened ShroWd on my holo-pad.

Instead of debunking what I witnessed, the version on ShroWd confirmed what I saw. While he did indeed dodge the brunt of the attack, a part of it grazed him, but he received no damage!
