“Where are we going?”

“To the place I just bought.”

“But, why are going out of the city?”

“You’ll see.”

We got out of bitterstone a while ago; we’ve been walking through the road for 15 minutes now. I see a strange looking tree; it has a heart-shaped hole.

“Here it is, follow me.”

“Ok.”

We get out of the road and walk a little through some bushes until we reach an abandoned mine.

“Here it is.”

“You bought this mine?”

“Yep. It was pretty cheap; it is extremely big too. We’ll build our base underground. We need a lot of money if we want to transform this mine into our base.”

“Hmm... I don’t like tight places like this.”

“Don’t worry, we’ll rebuild this entire mine. When we are finished, it’ll be like a mansion.

“Fine.”

We explored the mine but there’s nothing interesting inside, so we returned to the city

…

We’re going to meet Harmless. We reach the front door of his shop and we enter but we don’t see anyone. I hit the little bell on the counter. Harmless comes from a door, covered in grey dust.

“Sorry, I was doing some experiments.”

“Don’t worry. We need more of those bombs; They worked beautifully.”

“I already prepared more but, who’s that woman at your side?”

“I, I’m Light.”

Light is hiding behind me for some reason. It seems that, when she’s not playing a role, she returns to her shy self.

“I’m Harmless. You shouldn’t worry; I won’t eat you.”

Light looks at him with doubt.

“I just eat men.”

What!? Is he a cannibal? I unconsciously take a step back. Light seems more relaxed though. She walks out of my back. Well, he said he doesn’t eat women...

“Nice to meet you.”

“Same here. Are you helping Chrys?”

“Yeah.”

“When Chrys told me his plan, I thought it was entertaining, so I’ll be helping in everything I can. It is also a good way to test my bombs.”

“So, Chrys, these are the bombs I prepared. After you finish, tell me how they performed.”

“Fine.”

Harmless passes me a pouch. His heart doesn’t show any signs of him wanting to eat me. Maybe I don’t seem tasteful. I’ll just be careful with him.

“I’m working on the other bombs you asked for. I’ll tell you when they are finished.”

“Thanks for the help.”

Light and I say goodbye and we go to the next guild. We need to steal as much guild as we can now.

…

We are in the middle of a fight. We were robbing “Black maze”, but suddenly, a lot of people begin coming through the guild’s door. It’s what I feared. Since we began robbing, small guilds started to form alliances with medium size guilds. This should be an ambush made by the guilds. We are not on the level to rob medium guilds for now. They have a lot of high-leveled players and a lot of good equipment. I’m not a match for a high-level player, for now.

“Stop there! You’ll have to pay for everything you’ve robbed.”

A guy who seems like the leader talks to me. He is wearing a flashy white armor. I think I know him... I remember, He is a famous player. He’s called “Whiteflower”. He goes around cities helping players with their missions. He became famous because he streams his gameplay. Now that I remember, he only helps female players... I wonder why?

“Sorry but we won’t stop.”

“Aghh! You’re staining the “white” name.”

He moves and talk very dramatic. I don’t know why but he kind of annoys me.

“Light, stop grabbing things, we are getting out of here!”

“Ok.”

“I won’t let you escape!”

He uses an ability I don’t know; I just dodge to the right wishing that it doesn’t hit me. Little plants grow under my feet and trap all my body. I’m trapped but I have a plan.

“Light, go! don’t let them catch you.”

“Alright.”

“Hey, lady!”

Whiteflower runs to Light and he tries to grab her before she gets to the rooftop.

“Hey, Whiteflower! Women hate it when you touch them without their permission.”

He stops his movement not knowing what to do.

“Hey, you can’t let her escape, she has all our money with her.” (random guy)

“But What if she hates me. I can’t live being hated by a beautiful woman.”

He is weird... but it somehow helps Light to escape. As Whiteflower is having a mental crisis, All the other people run trying to catch Light, but they fail. They look at me now. They’ll redirect their anger against me.

“You mothe*****r, return our money.”

They approach to me.

“Well, it’s time for me to go too.”

I use all my strength and I manage to break the plants. I use my hands and I cut my throat. It’s better to die before they try to take me captive. I’ll respawn and I’ll search for Light. We’ve already changed our spawn place to our new base, so they can’t spawn camp us.

…

Our base is taking form. We already paid for everything; we just need to wait until everything is built correctly. To build something inside Dragon’s Lair, you have to hire NPCs. They work incredibly fast and they can help you with the design.

Light and I are taking a rest on the side of the road while we wait for our base to finish. We hear a carriage coming from the road. There’re three guards escorting the carriage, but not a normal carriage, the carriage is basically a metal cage, like the ones the circus uses with their animals. The cage has two players inside. They look almost identical but one’s a man and the other one is a woman. I guess they are sorcerers based on their clothes.

“Hey, did you hear about Raincoat?” (guard 1)

“What?” (guard 2)

“I heard she got a boyfriend.” (guard 1)

“Whaaat!? That’s not true, she would never betray her fans!” (guard 2)

“Shut up!! We are on duty” (guard 3)

“Sorry!” (guard 1 and 2)

“If we let those two kids escape, our boss is going to kill us. You better pay attention.” (guard 3)

Raincoat... Oh, it’s the celebrity Deadly mentioned. And why are those two kids so important?

“Hey you, the one with the funny looking hair, you should be stupid if you think that Raincoat cares about her fans.” (little girl)

“What do you know!? she cares about us the most!” (guard 2)

“If you want to believe that I’ll let you dream...” (little girl)

“You wouldn’t understand us, you are jus...” (guard 2)

“Shuuut up! If any of you talk again, I’ll beat the crap out of you.” (guard 3)

We just see them pass by; those kids seem interesting. Well, they can’t be real kids, you can’t play Dragon’s lair if you aren’t an adult.

Oh! A message arrived at my system. Our base is finished.
