Chapter 3: Multiplayer is more fun.

"Jack?"

Oh shit!

We both start talking.

"Ok I know you must be confused bu- "

"What?" The both of us look at each other confused.

"Did.. Did this happen to you before?" I ask Anton roughly getting the idea of what's happening.

"Yeah and I guess this happened to you too?"

"Yeah quite a few times actually. I thought I was the only one…"

"I thought the same thing. But… that means we can deal with this shitshow together right?

"I supposed but we need to be close to each other apparently if we want to get into the same situation, but the problem is we don't know when this happens" I say thinking of a way to do this together.

"Wait you didn't realize it yet?"

"Huh?"

"This happens every Friday evening…" Anton says as if it's the most obvious thing ever.

"WHAAAAT?! Wait" I think back to my past "quests."

"HOLY SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT! How did I not notice that yet?"

I hear Anton mumble.

"Smol brain."

…"Fuck you Anton but I guess you're right. Still fuck you though!"

Anton smiles raising his hands as if he were surrendering.

"Sorry, sorry I just couldn't resist." We both chuckle knowing I would have done the same if I were in his shoes.

"Well now that we have that figured out we should go and see what this scenarios quest is."

Anton gives me and odd look.

"Quest? Is that what you're calling it?"

"Yeah I mean I fits doesn't it? You gotta kill something or help someone out and then you get a reward."

"I guess? I mean it's not like I have a better name to call this." He says in a questioning tone.

[Help the boy waiting at the bridge to his destination]

As we start to walk to the bridge we have spotted after a minute of wandering around Anton speaks up.

"So, we have to escort and protect some kid? Seems easy enough." My black-haired Idiot of a best friend says with a grin.

"Suuuure. Let's just hope we don't get attacked by some creature. Though considering all my previous quest the odds of nothing happening are just about zero."

Anton lets out a sight while shaking his head.

"Pessimistic as always."

"Not pessimistic. Realistic. You're just overly optimistic.

"Whatever you say bro."

We talk a bit more before finally reaching the boy. Once he spots us he gives us a wave while smiling.

"Are you the two that are supposed to help me on my epic adventure?"

The so called "boy" is more of a 17-year-old that seems to be emitting pure edge lord aura.

"Yeah let's go!" My black-haired Idiot of a best friend says with a grin.

"Whatever just don't get in my way when I fight these mega epic monsters!" He says dismissively.

What a charming little fucker I think to myself. My friend is still smiling like an idiot because he thinks this is gonna be fun little adventure. I mean how can he stay so positive? Were his "Quests" different from mine? Maybe. It would make sense giving how careless he acts. I will have to confirm my suspicions later.

As we continue to walk we see some sort of big Cyclops blocking our path. Great this will be sooo fun. I think to myself in the most sarcastic tone I can manage in my head.

"You NO pass here!" he shouts pointing at the three of us.

Mr edge lord assumes some kind of pose before spinning around and taking his sword from his sheath.

"You will not block the path of the future hero of this land evil doer!" The kid not kid shouts before running at the Cyclops.

"HAAAAAAA!" The edgy dude screams the entire length until he reaches the monster.

He jumps into the air raising his sword and shouting from the top of his lungs.

"DEATH SLASH!"

HE NAMED HIS ATTACKS AND THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE AN EFFECT JUSUS CHRIST THE CRINGE! Holy shit has to be the cringiest little fucker I have seen my entire life. I think I just took some physical damage from that.

The sword connects with the temple of the cyclops and pierces a good half meter into his skull. The both of them just stand or in the kid's case float there for a few seconds as if to make a dramatic pause in an anime before the Cyclops falls backwards and the kid rolls of the ground.

The little edge lord strike s ANOTHER FUCKING POSE! Please for the love of god end me right now.

"HA HA! Another Evil beast slayed by me! The legendary future hero!"

"Let's continue loyal subjects!"

Subjects? This guys really thinks too highly of himself. I look over to Anton with a " are you fucking kidding me" look on my face to which he just responds by shrugging and starting to walk.

We continue on our way before Mr edge lord stops in his track extending his hand back to signal us to stop.

Suddenly he exclaims in a overly dramatic voice as if he were narrating some epic moment in a movie

"Look there! A poor creature of the wild has been corrupted by the evil forces of this world! We cannot save it anymore so we nee to rid it and the evil it represents of this world!"

"Worry not Subjects! I the future legendary hero of this land will take care of this!"

He takes the longbow he has on his back and nocks an arrow before pulling back and releasing the string while shouting.

"PURIFICATION DEATH SHOT!"

GOD WHY MUST HE NAME NORMAL SHIT!? I swear I am in so much pain right now. I mean who shouts a weird ass name every time someone attacks?

The so-called corrupted deer falls over dead once the Arrow connects with its body as the arrow probably pierced its heart.

"Once again the hero saves the land from an evil force by purifying the corrupted!"

You just shot a deer but sure purify is also a term that can be used for that I suppose. Just not in a politicly correct sense.

Finally, we arrive at a very small lake, more of a pond if I am honest with a sword stuck in a stone.

Really? Couldn't get more cliché than that?

Then a rather high voice pipes up.

"Finally! You must be the chosen hero of this land!"

Two fairies appear and start talking to the wannabe protagonist.

"You must take out the sword that only the chosen one can wield and defeat the evil of this land."

"Yes! My destiny is about to be fulfilled!"

The guy immediately rushes to the sword in the stone and attempts to take it out but the second he touches the sword he starts to crumble to dust.

"Okay what the fuck just happened?" I say still not entirely sure as to what the fuck just went down.

Then the other faerie start to speak to his friend.

"You really have to stop telling every adventurer that they are the chosen one."

To which the other replies shrugging with a face that just emits I don't give two shits

"Why? One day it is bound to be true for one of these little fuckers."

And with that me and Anton arrive back at my place with the movie still going at the exact moment we have left.
