《Icy Vendetta》Ch 6: Wish

### Wish ###
"You... are you really the AI??? Maya?", asked a stupefied Zero. He had never seen a person more beautiful than her and he stammered slightly while taking to her.
"Of course yes. But you may call me ma'am", replied the Red lady.
"Yes ma'am", came the curt reply.
The Red lady giggled a little and said "just kidding... please call me Maya."
'Holy Crap!!! did I seduce her?', thought Zero.
"No you did not you moron.", the Red lady was looking pissed now.
"And before you ask, I am not reading your mind. Doing a fist pump is not exactly a subtle expression.",
"Sorry.", was all Zero could say.
"Kidding again man, you take things way too seriously you know.", giggle the Red lady again.
"So tell me what do you wish for. But before that I should warn you I cannot alter the mechanics of the game for you nor make you a super man. I can grant only materialistic wishes."
"Invisibility", shouted Zero at once.
Maya sighed deeply and said "Did you even listen to what I was saying...Thirteen said you are a muscle head so I should not be surprised but still..."
Luckily Thirteen had forseen this and has already prepared for the contingencies. So he had coached Zero on what to ask for.
"I want a Japanese Katana of the highest quality which can never be stolen for me and which grows with me.", asked Zero hesitatingly. He was afraid even this would get turned down.
But Maya smiled gleefully, "Are you sure you don't want a gun. Guns are pretty popular and very powerful you know." Inwardly she was very happy. The young man had piqued her interest and was getting more interesting by the minute. "Very well you will have the blade in your inventory. You can check its stats when you begin. Also all the other agreed upon items will be placed onto your inventory."

Zero was confused now. He knew he was getting some help but did not know which kind it was. He silently cursed Thirteeen for keeping him in the dark.
He had already planned that he will play for 3 months leveling up and getting used to the terrain before confronting the Drak guild and any help in that was highly appreciated.
"Do you know where you want to start?", asked Maya
"Middle of Amazon jungle. Far away from any civilization please.", came the predetermined answer by Zero.
Now it was Maya's turn to gasp "Are you sure? Amazon is not part of the charted territory and as level 1 the probability of survival is below 1 percent."
Zero was a survival specialist. He had once spent over couple of month in the Amazonian jungle alone to infiltrate a drug cartel. It was really unfortunate that due to some disagreement his cover was blown and he ended up eliminating the entire base.
"Well my Dad used to say no risk, no rewards. So I'm going to stick with my decision.", Zero said confidently.
Maya stared at him and said "Well said mortal, well said. Then let me assist you a little.", she waved her hand and a red animal with blinking black eye appeared before her.
"This is a scout fairy. Consider her a mini extension of me. She cannot do any damage but she is an excellent scout and contains all knowledge of the game. However she is very stubborn and she will answer only the questions directly asked of her."
"Lastly mortal what do you want to call yourself in Mythica.", asked Maya.
"Zero."
"Well Zero exit the gate to the left and you will be ready to begin your journey."

Zero bowed slightly and started walking carrying a sleeping red fairy with him.
Once he was out of sight the Red Lady had a sad smile on her face
"I owe Thirteen a favour. He really has the most interesting companion.
I am sorry Zero I could not help your sister. I really wish you can put an end to my pain."
At this moment Zero was in a world of his own. As soon as he had walked out of the door his mouth fell open. He was standing in the middle of an opening surrounded by trees. He could really feel the heat and humid atmosphere of the jungle around him. He could not believe that this was just a game. With his heightened sense of hearing he could hear the slight breeze and feel it on his skin as well.
'What the hell. This is a game??? no wonder people are raving about it, this felt really like I was transported to the Amazon.', he was astounded by the depth of this game.
"Well its time to wake up the sleeping beauty. I wonder how I should do that, she has been sleeping the entire time."
"Hey Maya, how do I wake this one up", he shouted.
Just then another message popped in front of him.
Traditionally the princess can only awaken from the kiss of the prince charming, so why don't you do the honours.
"WHAT THE HELL", an echo loud enough to penetrate the deepest portion of the forest could be heard shortly after.

8 704Until You Do It Right
The world ended on December thirty-first of the year two thousand and twenty, precisely at the stroke of midnight. The human race began to be systematically exterminated by the spawn of the System. We were given a chance to defeat them, to take back our place at the top of the food chain. We failed. The first to perish were those who bravely rebelled. The soldiers. The defenders. One by one, they fell. In their final moments, they begged for aid. Nobody replied. The next to succumb were those who feebly cowered. The deniers. The leeches. Together, they fell. In their final moments, they cried out into the darkness. Countless voices replied in kind. The last to decline were those who shamelessly ran. The deserters. The cowardly. Alone, they fell. In their final moments, they whimpered quietly. There was nobody left to answer. The final human to die was a survivor. A runner. As he died, he begged for salvation. His prayers were answered. He was offered a chance to save himself, along with all of humanity, and he took it. This is his story. “I sat in the dark and thought: There’s no big apocalypse. Just an endless procession of little ones.”― Neil Gaiman, Signal to Noise. I am absolutely new to writing and will take any and all constructive criticism. Please give feedback, it is greatly appreciated. I will update the tags as they change, and I hope that you enjoy this little story I'm writing! Quick warning: Seamus is intentionally a flawed character, and this story is going to explore those flaws and perhaps even change a few of them. I do not agree with all of his actions, but it is what it is.
