Spawn Point

Trapped In A Game

  200 dollars. That's why I need to do this. All I have to do is put this VR head set on. A bit frightened I put it over my eyes and felt myself get lifted into the game.

  "Wow, this game is awesome!" I screamed. The video game was so realistic, it felt like I was in real life. Beautiful mountains, forests, and snow everywhere. 

  I was standing on a cliff, looking over everything. Dragons flew through the sky and little small people could be seen at a little village not too far away. I gazed at my skin, it was red. I looked around myself to see if there were any buttons I could click so I could change my appearance, but there wasn't any, at least not what I could find.

  I headed toward that village, excited to be part of this beta process. I can't believe I was actually asked to do this. I've been the biggest video game nerd my entire life.

  As I walked into the village, the small people were scared and screaming in horror, "Monster! It's back!" they murmured to one another.

  I didn't know what to think, all I was doing was walking. The hut's were tiny and they all ran into their own places, except for this one little guy, "Hello there," I smiled.

  He was frozen, he wouldn't move. His body was shaking and he just gazed at me, like I had done some horrible things.

  "Morgy!" a small woman yelled a little away from him. "Get away from him!"

  The woman ran toward me and started to stab me with a little spear they had in their hand. I didn't feel any pain. I stepped to the right, so I could get a better view of the woman. Shit. I put my foot down and accidentally stepped right onto her.

  "Mommy!"

  All of the little people ran out of their huts and I could see the anger in their faces. They all surrounded me, and started to poke me with their spears. I tried to step away from them, I didn't want to kill them. Every time I stepped, I stood on another one. My eyes widened as I tried to move away, but I kept standing on them. For some reason I didn't even feel any remorse, it's like I had done this before.

  I ran into the forest. I tapped my shoulder, trying to calm myself down and a mirror appeared in front of me.

  My skin was completely red and the clothes I wore were completely black. I had horns on my head and I felt like screaming; I looked like a demon.

  A few weeks had passed and I was accustomed to the game. I didn't know how to get out of it, but I just tried to survive as much as I could. I did my morning run and killed the demon spiders outside of the little hut I had created, near a cave. I grabbed the string they dropped and put it in my pockets.

  I learnt a little more about the game in the past weeks. If I tap my left shoulder the mirror appears. When I tap my right shoulder a health bar and stats appear. At the top it says my rank is Evil. I had 10 points of stats in empathy, 3 points into intelligence, and zero points into dexterity, strength, and stamina. I don't know what my goal in the game was, all I kinda knew was that in the email they sent me they told me to survive.

  A loud thud scared me. I was standing in the forest when a huge beast appeared above the trees. I had seen this before, they call it the Huntrax. It's a big cat like creature that stomps all of the trees to the ground and usually goes for the bad guys. I've seen it kill other people. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I had seen other people in the game, but they were all killed within seconds. I don't know if it's connected but every time the Huntrax appears a new player spawns in. 

  I ran toward the cliff, the same place I first spawned in at. A person stood there. They looked just like me, all demonic, "Hi, welcome to Gloria."

  "Wow, this game is awesome!" the girl screamed. "Who are you?"
