The party was sitting in front of the fire, all of them except for JohnWillStab had some alcohol in real life which they drank at the same pace as they drank in-game.
"♕: I can't believe I nuked a castle for no reason..."
"Bonifacius: Tis not like that, thou have given us the perfect excuse to escape!"
"♕: I guess, let's just hope no fu#!ing super-hacker escaped their prison!"
♕ laughed.
"XxFoxlyxX: Yeah! "
He agreed before laughing himself.
"JohnWillStab: They'll re-build eventually."
"Bonifacius: Indeed, let's not worry about that! We should celebrate the amazing work of JohnWillStab and Crown!"
"♕: It's not like that, I really just felt bad for screwing you guys over..."
"Bonifacius: I'm sure we have all forgiven you already!"
JohnWillStab nods
XxFoxlyxX nods
"♕: You guys are a party of dumbasses!"
♕ laughed whilst taking another gulp of beer and another shot in real life.
"Bonifacius: Thou are a part of this dumbass party as well!"
"JohnWillStab: Exactly."
"XxFoxlyxX: Whether you like it or not."
"♕: What do you mean? I just nuked the server police."
"XxFoxlyxX: And that's exactly why you're part of the team - you're not escaping the consequences for what happened, you're going to be tracked down and killed by the JGuardians like the rest of us."
"♕: Heh, fine - I guess it was fun hanging out with you lot."
"XxFoxlyxX: Exactly! Besides, you're on the cover."
"JohnWillStab: We actually had that changed a few times..."
"♕: You're one to talk foxly, you're just a side-character!"
"Bonifacius: Should we not stop them from destroying the fourth wall?"
"JohnWillStab: We exploded a castle today, we destroyed a lot more than just the fourth wall. "

He shrugged.
"XxFoxlyxX: WELL I'M SORRY, BUT I'VE BEEN IN THE STORY SINCE BASICALLY THE START!"
"♕: YA GIRL WAS IN CHAPTER 1, B!#CH"
"XxFoxlyxX: That whole thing was bu#!hit and you know it! What kind of game has a tutorial before the player picks a character?!"
"♕: CLEARLY THIS GAME ISN'T THE MOST STABLE PRODUCT!"
"XxFoxlyxX: Besides - how much longer are you going to keep that "edgy hacker" thing going?"
"♕: You're one to tell me about character design mister "Having a stroke in Swedish"."
"XxFoxlyxX: That was great comedy and you know it!"
"♕: Oh LoOk aT mE - "I'm FoXlY ~ HoW ArE YoU DoInG,FAM - I TeLl JoKeS AnD ThAt'S mY ChArAcHtEr, FAM.""
"XxFoxlyxX: OH REALLY!? "Look at me, I'm crown and I'm special because I can cheat and I can like shoot lasers and nuke a castle that the main character struggled to take down for like a chapter and I have a magic shield and I can teleport and I do like, an infinity +2 damage!""
"♕: TAKE THAT BACK YOU FROG SPERM LOOKING MOTHER F#!KER!"
"XxFoxlyxX: MAKE ME, GINGER!"
"♕: My hair isn't even ginger! It's "copper""
"JohnWillStab: People's respect for the series is dropping by the sentence."
"Bonifacius: Alas - tis a great chance for us to reflect upon our actions!"
"JohnWillStab: I'd rather not..."
"Bonifacius: No, I mean'th the achievements that do not border on mass terrorism."
Meanwhile in the human starting zone...
Dozens of players were running, panicked, some saw the terror that was terrorized them, others ran thanks to their herd mentality, not sure what they were running from.
"Bromozome: What the hell's going on, bro?!"
"Tossible: It's some cheater! He's banning players!"

"Bromozome: Can a cheater ban players, bro!?"
From behind them lunged forward the man, he looked like a blond human with wavy hair styled into cat-ears.
On his back, he wore a long, dark blue coat lined with light-blue fur - below he was wearing modern-looking clothes.
He was just below average height for a human.
"Bromozome: WTF!?"
Tossible, a human wielding an axe was slashing at the blond man who used a mix of skills and emotes to grab him by the throat.
Tossible: What class are you!? Why are you in a level one zone?!
With a crack Tossible went limp, still held by the man who proceeded to use a simple command in chat "/ban Tossible 1"
"Alexander: Damn, this whole game really went down-hill..."
"Bromozome: Why are you picking on level 1s, bro?!"
"Alexander: I'm just culling the population."
"Bromozome: What do you mean by that, bro!?!"
In an instant Bromozome was gone, banned.
"Alexander: This whole world is so annoying... the most normal race and they're in a shitty zone like this..."
From behind a tree Pandors_T_T was watching, disguised as a low-level human, he was in a private chat with Olivionion who has just told him about the destruction of the JGuardian base.
"Pandors_T_T: The situation's getting worse and worse, some super-hacker appeared in the human starting zone, he keeps banning people and when he curses the text isn't censored..."
"Olivionion: Yeah, well at this rate it looks like we're being disbanded."
Pandors_T_T started typing out his reply along the lines of "Focus on the hacker!" before he realised what Olivionion was saying.
"Pandors_T_T: Is it actually that bad?"
"Olivionion: Somebody exploded our whole base - I guess it was a cheater."
"Alexander: I'm really sorry to interrupt your chat - but I don't appreciate people talking behind my back..."
"Pandors_T_T: F*#K!"
Olivionion didn't say anything, he saw the chat and he knew Pandors_T_T was banned.
"Alexander: I know you're there."
"Alexander: You don't intend to curse me out before I ban you?"
"Alexander: ..."
"Alexander: I can appreciate that - you want to die a dignified death... well, ban."
Alexander typed in the command "/ban Olivionion"
"Alexander: Well... that was less dramatic than I hoped it would be."
Alexander looked at the grassy hills, the highly detailed buildings and the lovely sky-box,
"I kind of liked him... maybe I'll unban him alter..." Alexander though.
"Alexander: It's really a shame to have such a wonderful game-engine go to waste for a kids game..."
Alexander let a sigh out in real life.
"Alexander: Well, now that the devs left, I'm sure you all know the saying - "Finders keepers.""
Alexander let out a sigh as he turned towards the other groups of players who were trying to escape, each one targeted at a distance and perma-banned.
"I wish I didn't have to ban them all, but my game can't handle this many players..." he thought.
"Maybe once the game is famous I'll get some performance work done!"

Renewal and Rebirth
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Interstellar travel. Life extension medicines. Advanced AI's All of these meant nothing to Jayden, she had been born too soon, her body unable to process the new technology. She was approaching the end of her life and had a choice to make. Deep Dive VR had progressed and real digitization and uploading was now an option for those unable to use life-extension treatments. For all the science the Human race had developed, Jayden was forced to take a different path. She would be digitized and explore a new world. One where cultivation and dinosaurs blended together. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. For those unfamiliar with my writing style, Second Chances was my first attempt at writing. I'm not sure how much I learned in the process, except that readers get angry when you mess with characters they like! Warnings - I tend to info dump. I know I do this, I like slice of life novels that take time to unfold. So don't expect action, murder, and battles in every chapter, it isn't going to happen I prefer the first-person narrative. I will do an occasional POV shift, but it will never be done mid-chapter. I hope you enjoy the story, comments, ratings, and favorites are greatly appreciated!
8 283Recovery: Ignis
My Name is Keiren. Keiren Ignis. At least that was what IT told me. Now all I have to do is figure out everything else. No simple task when you're an amnesiac. Honestly, why do I know these words and what they mean, but I have no idea who or even what I am. Except for what IT told me. IT is whatever is causing the wierd pop-up screens that appear in my vision when I think about certain things. Seems like I'm going to have to play by ITs rules until I get a better understanding of everything else. This is my first attempt at writing anything. To be honest I'm not 100% sure as to what direction this will take. GLHF It became sci-fi. There will probably be a romantic subplot at some point. There will be some implied sexual content, but nothing more explicit than kissing will be written. Will try to release at least one chapter a week, but there could be none, or possibly 3 or 4.
8 135The Befuddled
Sam has never broken a promise, and doesn't plan on breaking one in his lifetime. So when Sam promises a dying friend to return a precious family keepsake to his sister, only to find the sister dead as well, Sam realizes he needs to take drastic measures to ensure his word is kept. That means sailing to the Necropolis Isles, the fabled land of the dead where it is said that the dearly departed reside. But that means crossing the Ocean, the broken, warped land where maps never lead you to the same place twice and the Laws of Reality apply intermitently at best. He'll need to face down seas made of hungry tongues, hedonistic Mer-People, face stealing pirates and worse if he wants to make it to the Necropolis Isles. Fortunately he's enlisted help from the crew of The Ocean going vessel, The Befuddled. The crew may seem as mad as anything else on the ocean, but sometimes a little insanity is exactly what you need to survive.
