Chapter 404- Reasoned Excuses

"If we are the same, why did you kill Shay? Wasn't he our friend?" Zach asked with a frustrated and gloomy look on his face.

"Argh! You are still hung up on that?"

"I killed him because he would have become our… well, yours, actually; he would have become your enemy," the Overlord shrugged his shoulders and said, "If not, he would have died in the near future anyway. So what does it matter? We were never close to Shay anyway."

Zach clenched his fists and mumbled, "You are lying. I don't know what the fuck you are on about, but I considered Shay my best friend. He and Kayden were always there for me. They were the only ones who had put their trust in me. 

He is the reason we agreed to play a VR game and got stuck here. He is the reason we met Aurora and the girls. He is the reason I am what I am today. Without him, nothing would have happened. We would be living the same old boring life.
