5 The World Under

I can hear you if you need help, give it though and I can hear it so don't overthink about

unimportant things ok.

What you were about to hear what I was thinking.

Yes, and from what I could tell you probably didn't want me to hear what you were going

to say.

…

The silence confirmed my question so if I were you I would watch what you think.

Ok…

I quickly travel around the underground town of New Dawn. It was an old mining town,

and from what I could also tell a plantation which may be the reason there are so many zombies.

The mine must have collapsed and multiple layers of it too.

Hey C are you there…

Charlotte are you ok…

Yes, I'm sorry what do you need?

Can you tell me what happened here?

Yes, I can, but it's kind of a long story.

That is ok to go on ahead.

Ok, yesterday I had…

From the beginning, please I need to know what happened here before all this happened.

Oh, ok that is even longer…

Time is not a factor at the moment so please enlighten me.

Now back in the fifth year after the war started in our lovely little town was a neutral area

we neither let the Hoku endo flame warriors or the Cloud snakes come through our land. This

being the two most potent kingdoms at that time our village was fifth but we were far more

advanced. We lead the engineering of both of them, so neither had the guts to try and fight us.

We have prospered from the war and with the plantation and the coal from the large vein

that was below our town we were living the dream until the third great nation joined the fight

with the Great Saints. The enemy of our nation, the royal mage of the west end, so we were

forced to stop supplying the other two, and all our money, coal, and food were taken from us to

support our men in battle.

We all have gone into poverty, and then from the blood-soaked battlefield, a disease

struck, killing millions and even billions of people. At first, the local doc had kept us all safe and

sick-free. Then the kingdoms of the Great saints and Hoku endo flames had both been destroyed,

and we allied with our old enemies the Cloud snakes.

All the people that had gone to fight and the significant leaders got a substantial financial

income from battle in the war. Which sent both of them into a financial crisis, so they raised the

taxes on everything to such an amount that most people left to try and find a better life out there.

But then the military and King Leo put up the wall and killed all who tried to escape from

paying the toll to leave which was one platinum or one thousand gold coins. Something we

would have easily been able to pay if at the end of the war the blood and ruined the fields and the

coal mine had started to run out. That was when we got a great idea we will use the coal mine to

escape this wretched place and tell the King of the Cloud Snakes Luis about Leo.

We had made an escape tunnel and finally got some people out to reach him.

Nobody for several months had come back to tell us of the news until one person finally

returns in scars and a bloody mess our plantation owner the great Matthew. He was at the time of

war a great general that the Lord of our land even trusted dearly. What he found shocked us all that a fifth party had entered the battle towards the end and defeated all four of the kingdoms and

the new king halted all news from the nations so that all the villages would not know of this way

very few rebellions would rise against him.

I at the time was second in command at the village next to Sir Matthew.

You must have had significant influence in the village then.

Yes, I did, but it was a lifelong dream until that day when Matthew came back.

Ok, I have to ask what his last name is because my name is also that.

Oh yes, it must seem like I'm talking about you, but the thing is you look just like him,

and I am sure once the phantom sees you she will think the same.

You think so and this lower half down here is a lot larger than I thought.

Yes, but one question: why do you wish to know the full size of this place anyway?

Because I need to fix something here and find something as well and know what it is

until I see it.

Ok, so I will now continue this thing.

We're all getting to leave the village and find a new place to stay, and now I have to help

and rally everybody up. Now Matthew had been waiting outside the town for me to tell him

everybody was ready to go.

I had stepped into the cellar to release the prisoner when…

When what Charl…

A massive explosion from the mine went off, and most of the village ended up down

here.

Ok, I understand.

Does nobody know what happened to Matthew?

How come?

Well, he was supposed to jump down and be with us if you want to know something?

Um…

I have been down here for four hundred years, and I hadn't seen a single sign he has been

here wanting to know how come I know!

To be truthful, yes!

He was supposed to rebuild the place, and this would be our new place but as you can tell

it in shambles.

Yeah but I'll change that for you all in a snap just give me a few more minutes ok.

You mean it you will.

Yes, I said I would, and I don't go back on my word especially one to a lady like you.

Well thank you so much I can't wait for P.S. I wouldn't do anything modern in here as

well.

As Charlotte was talking, I had to rebuild every single building except for here and that

mansion. Mansion with the ghost within it.

I even used my powers to forward an update to send this place back up, but everything

must be repaired soon. I found a hole in the wall that has some weird element stuff that looks a

lot like a diamond and an emerald. I could also tell it was not of this game, but I kept it on me so

that when the time comes to use them, we could.

As well as cleared out several tons of rubble to create a way to raise the village back up

to the surface.

I even found a weird flat diamond and a bunch of paper that apparently I can't use until I

reach a place. Then I returned to Charlotte and released here with the one green emblemed thing

with all of them. Charlotte what was the shape of the insert for your lock.

Why is it green and blue plus it is flat…

Vosh, ok if I put this here and that there unlock prosperous ancient curse place but

God-King Fluent Fuller the first is over.

Matthew where did you…

What is happening?

I think I know why I am so important in this game.

I think I am what Matthew you all were referring to. I was only focused on my world

when I realized I did a significant part of this game's development. I had it all based on my

character when it should have been found around the game characters, but I felt like this game

was my life at the time.

So I have returned after all four hundred years of being away.

Matthew, you are the Matthew in my story then and why am I turning back to a human I

would be dead by now.

No, you will never die because I made it to where all NPC characters were or were not

taken over by a person from the outside. Will always be immortal so no harm may come their

way.

What so everybody here is immortal so if we went to fight instead of staying here, we

would have won.

No, because the other person was Clayton who played the fifth king, and my friends were

the other four.

What so all our lives we're your playthings.

No, never I thought you all as equals they would have just immortalized you.

What they had that power.

Yes but now nobody does but for me, so you all can…

Um, why did you…

Scream…

Don't look…

Here.

Thank you now. Turn around the way I can change.

Ok, you can look back now.

Wow, that looks good on you.

You think so.

Yes, you look stunning.

Well, thanks.

Ok now, what do we do?

Well, I am sure that the phantom and the few zombies down here sure have turned back

to their usual selves.

Ok then what do I do?

Well, you could come with me or go with my friends.

I think I will stick with you.

Ok then let's head to the mansion.

Ok, will be there soon.

What's going on, how come we're returning to humans from zombies?
