"Boom!"
The ground shook as the explosion occurred. Max looked behind me to see the ground crack.
Damn it!
"You idiot, I asked you to create a small hole for us to escape, look what you did." Max spoke as the cracking noise got stronger and crack started to extend on the walls and pillars.
"Thud!"
The door of the entrance fell without his support.
Shit!
"Max, we haven't got time for this. Jump!" Max heard Axle's voice and saw him jump with the girls around him.
Well, that was do or die.
'My luck, do me a favor and don't let us get buried under the rubbles.'
And Max jumped after making sure no one was left behind.
"Don't let him go. Catch him!!"
Hearing the voice behind him, he couldn't help but smiled as he raised his middle finger while falling.
Yes, those bastards deserved that.
…
"Damn it, they are gone.", One of the men in the storage room spoke.
"What are you looking for then? Let's follow them. If we can't find them. We would be dead anyway.", Another one spoke.
Those two were the ones who had earlier allowed Max and Axle to pass.
It was entirely their fault. They would face the harshest punishment if not death. So they were trying to get others to help them to save their butts as they didn't have confidence in catching them alone.
But who knew, death was already upon them.
The cracks extending from the grounds moved in all directions and then connected up on the ceiling.
How can the structure hold any long?
The ceiling crumbled and the man along with his two other comrades was crushed into meat patties.
"Splash! "
Their blood splattered and in a while, more of it started to flow out of the rubbles.

But, the dozen people standing outside the door flinched only for a second before someone shouted.
"The hole is blocked, quickly remove the rubbles or else they would get away."
With his statement, everyone realised the dire circumstances as they started their labour to get the rubbles out.
...
In the Sewers.
Max got up and wiped up his face as a dirty stench infiltrated his nose.
Looking around, he found 7 girls around him. The light in that place was dim. He could see some figures in the distance.
'Did we get flowed down here?'
"Girls, let's go. We need to gather with others and leave this place soon."
On Max's command, every one of them got up and started following him obediently.
They were very quiet.
But, he doubted anyone could remain cheerful after those incidents.
"I found him, Big Brother Hero."
'Yes, I forgot there was still her.'
Max turned around to see Mia running towards him with 9 girls behind her.
"You all are here, only a few more and we will all be back.."
With their small little group, they started moving.
….
"Yuck!! What's this? "
"Ahhhh!!! "
Hearing the scream, Max immediately sprinted in its direction through the dirty water.
"Puddle"
"Splash!"
'Don't tell me they followed us.'
But as he reached the place, he couldn't help but felt a headache.
"What happened?", hearing the voices, Max turned around to see Axle behind him.
"I can't take her."
Hearing me, Axle looked ahead and frowned.
It was Lisa creating a ruckus. Looking at her face, Max felt that she would have gladly stayed behind if she knew there was a sewer down below.
"Leave her be ", Axle said.
But suddenly, they couldn't help but let out a curse at the same time as the rumbling sound entered their ears.

Shit!
They could see the hole in the ceiling directly above Lisa's head.
Is she an idiot.The first thing she should have done was to move out of there.
'Don't tell me she was waiting to be crushed down by the rubbles.'
Damn!
'I can't make it in time.'

8 206Astrum Online.
After decades of war and a series of bad decisions from politicians worldwide, the governments of the world decided to establish a truly independent economic and political institutions to right their wrongs. Despite this, the damages incurred persisted decades after its resolution. Among the worst of the damages were the aftermath of a conflict in space which left the orbit of earth filled with dangerous space debris, effectively shutting mankind out of its final frontier. The lack of access to space prompted many to explore alternative means to space in virtual technologies and games. However, space simulation requires heavy computing power and difficulties in advancing computer science had always limited the potential of space exploration in virtual reality. Leaving it an undesirable genre in the VR community. That is until a not-so-surprise announcement by a company called Future Tech that changed the world. This is a story about a group of friends' adventure in a brand new Sci-Fi VRMMORPG that utilises cutting-aged AI to power its expansive world. A piece of technology that many tried for decades but failed to achieve. Join Prakash "Gulliver" Douma and his group of friends as they meet new people along their journey across virtual space, make new friends and enemies, and discover many hidden secrets and danger about the world of Astrum while struggling in their foray into adulthood. _______________________________ This is my first story and is a side project I had in my mind to help me cope with the pandemic lockdown. So I welcome any constructive criticism and please cut me some slack! heh~ I have problems managing my tenses so do let me know in the comments if you find some errors. Enjoy! P.S. - Please ignore my user id. I do think my uses of punctuations are honestly quite horrible. Oh the irony.
