Not R&R, MMOSTORY:

Chapter One

I laughed as the blade i carried pierced the pathetic goblins throat, Tearing through his windpipe and out the other side. Pulling back and smashing another goblin in the face with the hilt of my sword. I stopped to look at the orchard of corpses laid around my body, as the dungeons door opened allowing me to travel further. I rushed down the hall, as fast as my barefeet would allow, stopping only once when i tripped and fell face first into the cold stones below.
After another hoarde of goblins I had found what I needed, a complex iron key. Bright red dwarven made, and durable. It had to be as the goblins hadn't eaten it yet. I walked forward from where i had found the key, To a lock, not even a foot away and unlocked this new door, Behind which lay troubles yet unfaced.
Inside the room, there lay a golem, a large stone creature, held together by an alchemists power, fully prepared to end my life, with no remorse in crushing me to dust. I ran and jumped with my blade, stabbing into the stone and piercing the tough layer of rock to reveal the underneath of mud. Trying to hit the Stone Crystal that keeps him moving. I pierced it on my second hit, droppping the golem to ground, and the final door opened. Inside there was a small wooden chest, and a larger statue of a beautiful angel, knelt holding a sword between her praying hands, I opened the chest collected my prize and used the spell of the statue to leave the dungeon.
I stood on the Altar of Entrance, smiling at my triumphant feat, I exited the cave that held the altar and began my run to town...
"Jeremy!" This jolted me away from my gaming and dungeonering, long enough to see my player charactor murdered by a wolf. I turned to see my mother in the door way, Looking at me with a look that said "I swear one of these days I'm going to unhook that machine" She was holding a phone. I naturally took the phone from her and brought to my ear, only to imediatly pull it away from my ear when the screaming voice of my best friend Chris blasted through the reciever. "Where were you?!" he screamed, leaving my ear to bleed I switched sides and picked up the conversation "I was in a dungeon, why?" "You do realize it was my birthday today right?" I froze, I had realized this. Surely I had, I had it marked on a calender which laid somewhere beneath the bags of chips and empty Moutain Dew cans. I'm sure I can explain this, If I could just have time to think, Unfortunaly, my mouth spoke before my head could. "Sorry, I completely forgot about it..." I heard him sigh and speak into the phone in a firm and angry tone. "Give. Up. On. That. Game. You're turning into a shut in, There's not even a point to it! It never ends!"
Later that night those words were ringing in my head, What if I do game too much? What if i'm destroying the blossoming social life I could be having, as opposed to killing Kobolds in the deserts on my weekend, Maybe I should be going to the movies with friends. After around 4
hours of lieing away, sipping at atleast 7 different sodas and realizing how much of a buzz I'm on, I give up and I load up my game...
Now the game always opened with an ad, but this one was very different, It was asking for testers, of a new type of MMO, my curiousity and 4am stupidity made me click the link. This game looked amazing, Only problem was I had to go to a studio a few miles from here, I couldn't just download it and play it. I don't know exactly what made me decide it was a good idea, after all it could've been a scam, But nothing connected to my game could be evil...Right?

Chapter 2
I stepped into the studio a little bit more than an hour later, And i'm surprised to see there's only 5 people here. One is a tall boy obviously much older than the rest, Milatary length blonde hair, and dark green eyes, and very pale skin. Next is a short girl with large dorky glasses that cover most of her face and are so dirty I can't see what color her eyes are, Her hair comes down past her shoulders just a little and is an unatural color of red. There's another guy around her height standing next to her, with pure black hair, and dark skin, His eyes are a pure white though, I can tell he's not blind, and it wonder what could turn his pupils white, And than think it better not to ask. Next is a beautiful young girl, the kind you wouldn't expect to be playing games, the kind you would expect to be at the spa all day, long dark hair, and greyish eyes, she's look at everyone else nervously as if were going to tattle on her being here. Next is a medium hieght pugdy boy, with glasses and greasy black hair, he smells like a garbage truck hit a cow and carried it around on the front bumper for a few days. Naturally, the 3 guys are all staring at the beautiful girl and that's probably what's making her look around like that, so I try not to stare.
It only takes a few minutes for us to get names, Kyle is the Milataryish one, Grace is the short girl, which I find to be an oxymoron considering it doesn't seem that she can walk two feet with out triping over a bug. The Pudgey kid is Dan, the kid with white eyes is Dara, which he said isn't his real name but he doesn't want to give out his name and we all decide to respect that, no matter how horribly curious I am, And lastly the the beautiful girl is Pyon, also her in game name, I guess she doesn't want people to know she games. After about 20 minutes of talking about prety much nothing, a man in a business suit steps out, his face is so generic and I can't even remeber it while i'm looking at it, He leads down a long corridor with many closing doors and switches and lot's of different rooms all with large screens and hightech computers in them, I wonder to myself why we haven't stopped yet.
We're finnally lead into a room where there's 6 chairs all in a circle around a large glowing cylinder, with a computer hanging off of it in each direction for each chair. Everyone takes their place, Pyon is quickly flanked by Kyle and Dan, Dara sits far from everyone, and Grace sits next to him, And I take the remaining seat. What I wasn't expecting was to be locked into my seat, unable to move, and knocked out, left there and confused. And ofcourse waking up in the middle of a forest, was kinda confusing too...
