The next morning he had a call from the director at home.

"I like the fairy thingy but I want my clone to be a high elf, can that be done?"

"I can but it will take a little time to complete since I'm going to be training her at the moment "

"Perfect opportunity then"

said the director as he hung the phone.

Darknym was surprised when he saw Nancy's new outfit, she had a bra in the shape of two strawberries, and a rainbow miniskirt, he cold see her underwear that were a red and white stripped panties, the same design as her candy cane staff.

"So I assume you are ready to train?"

Said Darknym.

"Wait you haven't yet seen my mask"

She put on a silver domino mask.

"Rather good I would say"

"Right? Velarial also bought herself the same costume although I don't know why"

"Lets get back to topic, in three days you will be fighting the king and his mirror double, one is a warrior and the other a mage, You don't have to win against them just throw cakes at them and tease them a little"

Darknym teleported them to his training room, an empty space inside the tower with a few targets.

"Lets begin with your Hp training, wear this ring and activate the first gravity curse"

He gave her the Atlas ring and with the first curse she fell to the ground with enough force to die. If not for Darknym's protection spell she would have died from the spell, she was pinned to the floor like a butterfly to a board.

"Try to stand up once you are able to stand give me a call, your strength will slowly rise with each try"

Nancy wasn't so happy about her first training, but she wanted to be strong now.

Darknym made a clone out of her and teleported with it to his Magic tower. There He turned it into a High elf and set the Loyalty and Obedience to the max. He would gain a good bonus and he also would gain a bargaining chip in the future.

The same day he met the Director Inside the game.

"Do you have the product?"

The director asked.

"Only if the price is right"

Answered Darknym.

"Alright now that we know that we are who we are, lets cut to the chase, you said that you have put some spell that if anyone saw me with the clone, it would turn invisible or something right"

"Yes but mages can see through the Illusion and others might still hear it's voice or breath"

"That's fine by me, so where is she now?"

"Right next to me, but also know that if I find any trace of betrayal I will turn the clone into thin air is that fine"

"Wait we hadn't agreed on that"

"Are you thinking of betraying me anytime soon?"

"Nope, why would I, it's in our contract anyway, if I do anything that betrays your trust the contract for the shows would be annulled right?"

"Right, I only hope you deposited the money, without any cheating"

"It's you who better not be cheating me out of my money, since I haven't even seen her face yet"

"Once I exit to check my account you will have all the time in the world"

"I hope so"

The handsome elf director said.

Darknym logged out and send half of the money to Nancy, then entered the Game and gave a thumbs up to Nancy who logged out and called the director.

"Mister there's a big problem"

"Em, what is it Nancy?"

"I think Chris has found out that I am trying to map the Tower"

"How did you let that happen, Imbecile, you're fired, you know something you are already fired, you no longer work for us, I will call Darknym and tell him that you did it for another guild and that I had nothing to do with it"

"Wait, I need the job"

Said Nancy seemingly in distress

The director closed the line but before he could call Darknym, he was already in front of him.

"Oh Chris what a surprise, I'm really sorry I didn't know Nancy had ulterior motives for joining your guild"

"I'm not sure but if you didn't then you wouldn't have a problem, with me asking your Npc clone a few questions"

"What do you mean, the Nancy clone will just tell you the same I just told you right Nancy"

"Yes master"

"I was talking about your clone"

He saw the director's face taking a 180 degrees turn to the worst.

"Wait I won't give you permission for this didn't you hear that it is now illegal to use the skill without the other's permission, you will be banned"

"Do you have something to hide maybe?"

"Many things but nothing about betrayal"

Said the director with a look worthy of a first rate actor.

"Then how about you ask Nancy there to tell us all the truth about why she joined my guild, if you ask she will tell us the whole truth right?"

"Wait, It all happened too fast, are Nancy and you in cahoots with each other, I will show you what it means to betray me"

"Who exactly did betray whom, how about I tell your wife about you using company money to buy virtual hookers, the deal was none betrays none and everyone is happy, how come you send me a spy who has mapped the first floor of my labyrinth"

He threw a paper at him, the words were Nancy's and there were even Indications about the traps and monsters of the floor.

"Wait, we could make a deal"

"And how can I trust your deals"

"But you can't take Nancy from me yet, I haven't even had a taste of her yet"

"Here"

Darknym threw at him a book.

"What is this?"

"The clone spell, it should cost 100.000 gold coins if you sell it but I'm sure you can find a better use for it"

"What about the brainwashing?"

"Won't it be more enjoyable without it?"

"Maybe for a sadist like you"

"I owe you nothing to begin with, if you can find it on your own fine by me, The money you paid me isn't enough even for the book you are holding now not to talk about a second high level spellbook"

"But I'm not a mage"

"You have a whole guild behind you, Not to speak that you have enough money to buy from the in-game market all the spellbooks you like right?"

"You are right, I don't need you, Fuck Nancy all you like, I will become the new Infamous mage of Allastar, all I need are spellbooks and a teacher"

Darknym left the director in his thoughts, while he himself dispelled Nancy's clone and went back to the Tower.

"One problem down, now we don't even need the Channel anymore, now you have three days to become as Infamous as me or you will be stuck with a 1%, in three days Lady of Fortune departs on a major sellout of in-game gold"

Darknym the rest of the day was stuck in the casino trying to raise some gold, while Nancy was left to train in the tower under the gravity of the Atlas ring.

Darknym suddenly had a call from Nancy.

"Chris, Merry wants us to go out on a double date, her with Bob and me with you, will you come?"

"Sure, when?"

"Right now, she's really insistent, It's nothing great just a small cafe"

"Will you be coming to take me or will you tell me the address to come?"

"I'll be right out in a moment to give you a lift"

Nancy was wearing a sporty attire, while he could also see a tennis racket at the second front seat.

"Do you play tennis?"

Asked Chris

"I'm learning, there's a cute teacher he just might be the perfect match for me"

"You did say we are going on a double date"

"But of course we are, although I see no future that sees us together"

Chris a little astonished still entered the car and they swiftly arrived and she parked near a small cafe.

They could see Bob and Marry already inside.

"Oh you finally decided to show up"

Said Merry as they came inside

"By the way did you lock your car well?"

Asked Marry

"I think so, right Chris"

answered Nancy.

Chris just Nodded a Yes

"Wait isn't that your car?"

Shouted Merry.

They could see four punks nearby her car Chris and Bob went outside.

"Get away from the car!"

Shouted Bob

"Who are you to tell us what to do?"

A Brawny guy said Threatening them with his fist.

The four punks had them surrounded. Bob charged at the big guy who with one elbow downed him to the asphalt road. The other three went for Chris. Chris gave one a knee in the face and blood flowed from his nose. The other three punks were shocked and Angry now, but Chris didn't end there. He kicked the punk's leg real hard and took the racket from the car like a weapon.

Bob stood up once more and was downed once more by a fist in the eye as he attempt to kick the big guy in the nuts, the other two were now kicking Bob, probably to lure Chris to attack first.

Chris threw took out the rackets that were inside the sheath and begun throwing them at the punks. The punks were terrified, probably they didn't think he would fight back so hard, but still hit Bob as hard as they could.

Chris' eyes were now mad, the punks could feel that he wasn't someone who was to be messed with. Chris took out of his pocket a switchblade and begun approaching them. Bob was a bloody mess now but the punks had all run away.

"Bob!"

Shouted Merry as she run towards the now full of bruises and wounds Bob.

"Are you alive?"

Asked Nancy seeing, blood flowing from Bob's eyebrow.

"I'll live"

Said Bob.

"Don't move too much, I'll call an ambulance"

Said Nancy.

"Don't bother it's only a few scratches, although It would be better to go see if the cafe has some first aid kit"

Bob replied.

"Wait I'll bring one from my car"

Said Merry as she left for her own car, while Chris and Nancy moved Bob, inside the cafe. The Owner showed them to a smaller room inside the cafe where Bob could rest.

"Thank you Chris, if you weren't there those punks would have killed me, I really should hire a bodyguard, by the way was that a knife you had there"

Asked Bob as he couldn't see well at the time.

"Just a survival knife, I just had a hunch I might need it today, each day I bring a different Item from home as a good luck charm" He said

"Good luck indeed, you don't even have a scratch"

Said Nancy

"By the way I feel a little sorry for your rackets Nancy, I think one broke on that guy's head"

Said Chris

Bob laughted thinking how painful it would be for the bastardly punk. Merry came in having with her a first aid kit, She tended to Bob's wounds although, Nancy was a million times better at it. She said it had to do with when she was still a farm girl, tending to their cows and chickens, she had a small experience in bandaging.

In the end after Merry's and Nancy's first aid Bob's head looked like a mummy.

"Would you all like a drink?"

Asked Merry.

"Not for me, last time was enough for me"

Said Chris

"Don't worry it won't happen again, I promise, also why don't you come and help me with the drinks it will put your mind at ease"

Said Merry

"It sure will"

Said Chris as he followed her outside

The other two didn't understand at all what had just went on but ordered their favorite drinks.

"Now listen lowlife, I will drug Bob's Drink, so take Nancy and go to play somewhere else, today I will make Bob mine"

"Don't you ever learn, why don't you just ask him to marry you or something"

"But I did and he said that he's a free bird and some nonsense, now he will be mine!"

"Why did you even call us in the first place?"

"because I need witnesses that we were here, He's already a bit drunk, so he might not even remember the whole experience"

"With all those wounds, I heavily doubt it"

Said Chris laughing a little, just remembering Bob's handsome face full of bruises.

Merry just glared at him angrily and said.

"Lets see this is your drink, this is Bob's, this is Nancy's and mine"

"Aren't they just coke, how will you even persuade him that he got drunk on coke?"

"Mind your own matters"

She said angrily.

They took the four cups of coke and coffee, with them, Chris had his and Nancy's and Merry hers and Bob's.

When they entered Bob was absent.

"Where Is Bob?"

Asked Merry worried and irritated.

"Don't worry Merry he just went out the back door for a smoke"

"Chris go bring him back fast!"

Shouted Merry.

Chris went outside and saw two punks beating the shit out of Bob. Chris charged at them and they scammed without even fighting. Chris called an Ambulance and Merry and Nancy awaited for it to arrive. Bob was In no mood for any drinks right now, his face was swollen and his clothes torn to piece, it was not a matter of laughs anymore. The man was seriously injured by the metal knuckles and the baseball club those punks had been beating him with.

Merry was crying not being able to see him like that, his pretty face was swollen like a watermelon, Nancy went after the ambulance asking Chris to Accompany Merry home, since she seemed to have taken the whole matter with Bob much worse than she had.

When Chris and Merry entered the small room, Merry was shaking. Chris went and asked for a drink to calm her, a normal beer.

"Why did this have to happen, everything was planned perfectly"

Merry said with tears in her eyes.

"Well you can't plan everything"

Said Chris as he was poured the four drinks at a sink of the small room.

"But from the day I met you everything ends in ruins, I do admit that I'm a bad, bad person for wanting Bob only for myself but you can't blame me"

Said Merry.

"Did you drink all four Beers?"

"Silence Knave, It should be you going to the hospital and Nancy going after you but those stupid punks can't even do a simple thing right"

"What are you holding there?"

"Can't you see, it's a pistol"

She was aiming at him fully drunk, she probably had planned to drive the first four punks away with a gun after they had hit him enough but she was too shocked when she saw them beating Bob instead.

"Go bring me another beer lowlife, my aim's a little off"

Chris left the room and asked the owner for another beer.

"How is the young lady is she alright?"

The owner asked to his surprise.

"A little crushed, but she'll be fine"

Answered Chris.

"Do you mind If I take the drinks to her, I would like to talk to her a little"

The owner said.

"Be my guest"

Said Chris with a smile on his face.

A gunshot was heard a few moments afterwards.

Chris rushed in and checked if the man was alive.

"He just fainted"

Chris said after finding a pulse.

"Why did that Imbecile, It's all your fault I know it"

Merry shouting at him.

Chris dragged the unconscious man to the sofa

"I think he'll be alright, what is this that he's holding?"

"I don't know let me see"

It was a little bottle with some weird name he had never never heard.

"I think it's the drag I wanted to give Bob"

Merry said in surprise.

"Shouldn't we better leave?"

Asked Chris with a worried expression, as he heard something that sounded like a police siren and she had a gun.

"Sounds like a good Idea"

She said.

Chris sneakily took the bottle and followed her to her car. It was a normal but expensive car, made for convenience. Chris didn't know where Merry was taking him but he couldn't leave her alone, he told her when to stop and when to start since she was a little too drank to ride. She submissively followed his orders not really knowing what she was doing.

"Finally home"

She said as she parked the car at the parking lot.

"Am I to stay as a guest or something?"

Asked Chris a bit tired of the whole ordeal.

"How come you are here, well since you are here, follow me to my apartment"

She said as she guided him inside.

All the People they encountered greeted her, It was more of a company than a home. The two top floors were where her office and apartment were. It was funny seeing the people's curious stares as he followed behind her all the way to her apartment.

'Who is he?'

Was the main question written on everyone's face.

"So you survived my plan and bob is in the hospital"

Said Merry as they entered her apartment.

"Do you even know how hard it was to set the whole plan you ruined?"

Chris remained silent.

"Bring me a Scotch from the minibar"

She pointed to a small minibar at one corner of the large room. which of course was empty from long ago.

"Your bar is empty"

"Impossible"

She said with a dumbstruck expression.

"Did I drink it all?"

She asked in puzzlement.

"Yes you did"

He said with a smile.

"You must punish me, I was a bad girl I drunk all the drinks at once!"

And she begun taking off her leather belt throwing it to him.

"Wait, it was only a joke!"

"No I'm a bad girl I made Bob hurt, you must punish me Bob, punish this useless dirty slut now!"

She was clearly somewhat lost, she probably though that he was Bob.

Chris took her to the bed and said.

"Sleep now and Bob will probably forgive you"

"Thank you Bob"

She said and fell asleep instantly. Chris slept on the sofa of her living room.

In the middle of the night and in full darkness he felt something strange. He woke up and felt his dick on fire, it was the best feeling he ever had.

"What are you doing!"

Shouted Chris seeing someone's head in between his legs.

"What aren't you Bob?"

"I'm Chris, you send Bob to the hospital yesterday by having your goons beat the crap out of him"

Merry swallowed and said.

"Wait what are you doing in my apartment?"

"You invited me In, don't you remember even that?"

"Wait did anyone see you enter"

"Almost everyone, you took the most showy path possible"

In the darkness he couldn't see but her face became pale, she was giving him a blowjob out of her own accord, although to her defense she was still half asleep.

"Could you let my penis down?"

Asked Chris.

"Fuck!"

She screamed as she took her hands off of it.

She turned on the lights and went to the bath, she had given him a full massage with her breasts and a blowjob while he was still asleep.

"Do you know how much money was wasted today?"

She asked fully sobered from inside her bathroom, not really expecting an answer.

"one million, I bribed six thugs, rented the cafe store and even bought a gun and the drug"

"You could ask me, I could do the same job with the thugs for free"

Said Chris half-jokingly.

"Do you hate Bob?"

She asks.

"Not really"

He said this time seriously while looking around the huge living room.

"See there is an Itchy bitchy problem now you probably don't know where you are but here is one of the game company's offices, of course we only have a few members of the development group here but rumors of you will reach father as fast as wildfire, he will probably have you disappear"

"By the way do you know where the chief developer's office is situated?"

"Why do you care?"

"I've got an Appointment with him today at ten"

"Perfect, I will say that I gave you a lift here and nothing more"

She said as she came out of the bathroom with just a towel.

"Say what you like after you put some clothes on"

Said Chris sarcastically.

"Why are you getting shy, you have seen me naked before what does a leg or two matter"

she said and her whole towel fell off and panicked she rushed towards her bedroom.

Chris left the bottle of the drug on the table and went to take a bath as well. Although he didn't have a change he was still wet from this midnight endeavor.

It was now eight in the morning and they were both awake and Chris explained how that bottle came to his possession. This time Merry didn't know to kick him or to thank him.

"Consider the midnight service as a reward then,I will keep the bottle for safekeeping"

She said and put it somewhere in the bathroom.

She made a call to the chief developer to inform him that I was already there and he asked her to keep me at her office for a while until he arrives.

"Did he say why he wanted to see me sooner?"

"Something about you using the forbidden skill a bit too flashily"

"Damn"

"Serves you right!"

She said smiling at his worried face

"by the way what did you put in that coffee it smells really well"

"Oh it's a secret and I'm not giving you any"

She said as she gulped her coffee.

Chris didn't care since in reality he hated coffee he just tried to start a dialog.

"By the way do you have an aspirin or something"

Asked Chris, he was not feeling so well at the moment.

"Go look in the bathroom, inside the the mirror, I think I have something that might help in the white bottle"

Chris went and opened the Mirror, he only saw one white bottle with blue pills inside. For some reasons it had no label. After taking it he felt a little strange but nothing changed.

'Must be one of those slow action pills'

As he saw Merry in a serious office lady outfit, his penis started to extend and burn like crazy. He didn't know why but he had an urge to make wild sex to her. He went back to the bathroom in a rush to unload his raging dragon.

"Will you take long?"

She asked him.

Her voice made him even more excited than before.

"Not long"

he said with a passionate tone.

"Are you jerking off in there?"

She asked angry.

"Of course, not"

He said embarrassed, he rolled his junk in toilet paper washed his hands and put his pants pack on.

"All yours "

He said as making a gentlemanly gesture.

She went inside and the doorbell rung.

"I told him to wait for us in the office, can you open the door please"

She said from the bathroom.

Chris opened the door and the old man came in.

"I didn't know you had friends in high places"

The old man said laughing as he saw his face.

"Are you sure you are okay, you look a lot worse than the last time I saw you"

The old man said worried.

"I think I will need to use the bathroom for a long time afterwards"

"Toilet problems for your age are not a good sign, you should consider seeing a doctor"

The old man said.

"Don't bother I'm sure it's because I haven't eaten anything in two days"

"We can't have that, do you eat Chinese?"

The professor asked.

"Would love to try"

The professor with a smile picked up his phone and ordered something from outside.

"You know Chris when I was young me and my two friends, the young then Sellers and Flower who was like an older brother to me we had a dream of making an epic battle with armies where we were the heroes protecting the realm from demons and their likes, Now that we are old we have made that world true but the real demons weren't the Npcs we created but the greed and corruption of the players, Our world was too pure, too Innocent"

Merry came out of the bathroom and Chris went Inside, a little longer and his pant would have been all wet. He opened the mirror and saw that the bottle was not at the same place anymore and inside there were no longer the blue pills.

'If this is her Idea for a joke, after this she'll learn not to mess with me'

He thought taking the drug bottle from the mirror.

"Are you alright in there?"

Asked Merry happy for a now known to him reason.

"Just fine but I think that I might need some time in here"

"Take your time, I will order us coffee how do you want yours, with a lot of cream right?"

She said as she laughed.

"That's what I love about you, you know everything about me"

he said letting a misunderstanding be born out of thin air, he could hear her laughter shrink as she tried to persuade the chief that they were just friends.

"So how do you know Darknym?"

Asked the chief.

"He's Nancy's boyfriend and she asked me to give him a lift, I didn't know his address and since he had an appointment with you I let him stay for a night"

The chief was of another opinion but simply nodded in agreement. Calling a man to your apartment in the middle of the night could only mean one thing.

"Well I hope you won't be inviting him too frequently since he will be staying in the employees quarters downstairs from now on"

The chief said with a smile on his face.

'It's good to be young he thought'

'That bastard, I will give him another pill'

She thought while taking a pill from her pocket.

The coffees and Chinese arrived and the three of them were now eating, they didn't touch their cups at all until they ended their food.

"So you understand just stop your raids and stay in your tower and we will provide you with anything you need, If there's a need for you Mr.Sellers the big boss will tell us to bring you back, it's like having a dimension of your own"

"Sure, but I think I should use the bathroom once more"

said Chris as he stood up

"Be my guest"

Said Merry with a wide smile taking his seat.

It only took him a second to pour a drop of the liquid drug into her coffee and she didn't miss the chance to drop the pill into his.

Chris put more paper and returned shortly, it wasn't throbbing so bad anymore but was still fully erected.

"Don't you like your coffee"

asked Merry.

"Well I won't say that I dislike it but it's not one of my favorite drinks"

Chris said knowing full well that she must have put something inside his drink.

"Such a waste"

said the Chief

"Mind if I have it"

"No"

They said in unison.

"I will drink it, but lets have a game to see who will drink their coffee faster"

Chris said with a smile.

'That bastard must have put something in my coffee'

She understood Instantly from his smile.

"Oops"

She said as she poured her own coffee on the table, but to her bad luck it fell on her skirt.

Chris really didn't want to drink it but he took a sip of coffee silently seeing her stand up with a victorious glare heading towards the bedroom to change.

"Is it really so bad, I enjoy drinking their coffee at work"

"You won't understand it's something childish to tell you the truth..."

He was about to talk but he couldn't hold it anymore, in truth they had nothing to split. He took the coffee and tapped her door to make amends and ask for a ceasefire.

"Can I enter?"

He asked.

"Yes come right inside"

She said seriously.

As he entered he taken by surprise, not only was she not ready but she had taken off all her clothes.

"Just do anything and I will scream for help"

She said spreading her legs like a professional gymnast, with her pussy in view.

In his astonished state Chris took a sip from the coffee swallowing the second pill.

The professor waited for them for a long time, he knocked at the door but found it lightly open. He took a peek inside and in his amazement opened the door, he was seeing Chris fucking the naked Merry on her bed. Of course he couldn't see her crying face and Chris' hand covering her mouth. He closed silently the door and left.

'I'm really too old, didn't even understand what their actions and words Implied, they even went as far as using their coffee just to get rid of an old timer like me'

Merry's phone was ringing, they were both asleep at the time. Merry woke up exhausted and Chris was still inside her while also sleeping peacefully on top of her. She pushed him off but had difficulty in walking from the pain. She picked the phone and it was her father.

"Father I want you to do something about this man who is in my room"

She said in distress

"Don't worry I already know everything and I approve, you really know how to select husbands, the man might act like a pervert but I'm sure you can tame him, you are my daughter after all"

'What?'

was what she wanted to say but she really didn't want to be disowned or be seen like a cheap slut by others.

"Yes father"

She said in a sad submissive voice.

She kicked the blissfully sleeping Chris waking him up instantly.

"Do I see my beautiful wife?"

Said Chris mockingly, because he was half awake from the first push.

She tried to kick him but he grabbed her foot, felling her onto the bed as he stood up.

"You know something, maybe you are my perfect soulmate after all"

He said seeing her naked body on the bed.

"Dream on, although we are getting married, it's Dad's orders, the old man must have ratted us out"

"Just as planned"

Said Chris drinking what remained of his coffee

"Did you truly plan for it?"

"Well the only thing I didn't plan was you being naked on the bed inviting me, we have already had sex so even if under the effect of the pill I wanted to feel you once more, the next time there won't be pills I hope"

"Lets get to the deal, there will be no next time, while married to you I will be seeing Bob and will in the end have his child"

Chris laughed and lied next to her.

"Do you think he will want anything to do with you after he learns about the thugs you hired to beat him or about the drug you used at that poker game"

he whispered near her ear.

"You wouldn't dare, and he wouldn't believe you"

"But he will because it was I who saved him and he probably has already seen us having sex as well, but if you still want to have sex or a baby of his do it in the virtual world because the real you is mine now"

he said while biting her unadorned ear,

At first she was a little unnerved by his words but afterwards she kissed him in the mouth, their tongues intertwined for a few moments, she stood up and and whispered under her nose.

"We'll see if you survive till the marriage"

Chris didn't hear it but he was in a trance, it was the best kiss he had. Her taste was still in his mouth, it was like a drug of which he wanted more, but he would endure till the wedding to make her his once more.

Chris was said to gather his stuff and move to the company branch in two days time. Mr Sellers also wanted to meet the man who was to become his son in law, Chris' program for the week to come was now full and the first thing he did was begin packing his stuff. He already had called the lawyer and the contract was suspended and he was to be called in a day for a final confirmation of the contract's annulment.

He had no time today for games as he packed the last of his stuff, He only had four boxes of clothes and stuff he wanted to take with him. He called a taxi and went towards the company's office, the same building Merry lived.

He was shown to his new room, a room smaller than his old apartment but free of charge. He unpacked and made himself at home, he got a call to the underground 3, room 5 right off the butt the the next day.

"Here is your working place in the development department, well you are mostly helping us with our work but it also helps yourself since you will probably Inherit it someday"

Said the Chief developer as he walked him through Lab 3. It only had a series of game capsules and rooms that monitored what was happening inside the capsules. The chief took him to the deepest room of the lab where, he could see two costume capsules fused to one another.

"This is the most important machine we have made, the other capsules till now are just prototypes for this, just enter the one capsule and I will enter the other"

They entered the two capsules and they appeared in a black environment with green checker lines like in the beta room he was before.

"Here we experiment with three things, first is pain level and another person's reaction to seeing it, lets say you were to get torn to pieces and felt nothing, but I got a heart attack from it, Inside this capsule I will be absolutely safe from dying of a heart attack and you from dying of pain"

"So it's another pain assessment of some skill?"

"Not exactly, for example we will input in your brain how the real pain from being burned feels, you see in Destros and Altgaia there is only one type of pain, while in Allastar threre are three, cut,pierce and crush or more like punch, in the others only the punching pain exists, which is the most mild of the three"

"And why even bother with creating pain inside a game, isn't it for fun?"

"Well you might have felt it too but sexual interaction inside the game lacks as well although we had numerous artists giving us valuable data in the area, pain is also a component of the pleasure"

"and the other things you test here?"

Asked Chris

"Psychic ability skills, we call them psychic battle, but that let me show you in practice"

He gave an inside call to the controls and a green orb appeared near them.

"You she this orb, you must will it to move, the one with the stronger will can move it, there are also other tests"

The old man moved his hand towards it but nothing happened.

"I can see that you are good in this field, you must have a really strong will for me to not being able to move the orb"

"Don't know about will, but the orb is mine!"

Laughed Darknym with a sinister smile.

Inside the machine he was his Allastar character for some reason and the chief was the hooded Warlock.

"Last thing we test are battles, we test the level of the body and the brain's functions that are needed for it creating new abilities for the game, you probably haven't noticed but when you use stalk your body posture changes and it will sometimes move on its own, that is part of our work here"

"Are there also mental battle like taking over one another's mind or something?"

"Well we did try it but it was a failure, at most they could do was move one another's limbs the same way they moved the ball, the Idea was abandoned after it was deemed a waste of time"

"So do I start now?"

"Today I want you to get used to this environment, you will see that it differs greatly from Allastar or the game, damage here is 100%, your clothes are Indestructible and you won't be seeing special effects like those of fireballs or magic, for example throw him a wind cutter Max"

Darknym/Chris felt a feeling as if his arm was cut off clean, it felt so real that he touched his arm in reflex.

"There must always be someone in the control room, and the data are always recording so don't go taking the young lady here if you don't want everyone seeing you"

"Is there anything else that I need to know?"

"Well not really, just try not to do anything that will make Mr.Sellers mad at you"

"Can I ask something about the cloning thing in Allastar?"

"Well they are a simplified version of yourself, they have your knowledge but can't generate new Ideas, they will however try to use all the Ideas you had in your head"

"Can clones create other clones?"

"No we have locked their possibility to do so"

"What will happen to the clones if I am to delete the character through the descendant system"

"Unless you dispel them or they die, they will remain and drain 10% of your new character's max Mp"

"That's good to know I was thinking of opening a new page in my life now and let the Npcs do whatever they like in my Absence"

"If we can judge from your first clone, it probably won't be much of a problem for us since clones tend to follow some dream or plan of yours"

"By the way I brought my capsule but didn't have the time to install it yet"

"Don't worry, you can use the capsules at the tenth floor, they are employee only and are the latest models, only thing is they lack the hardcore hardware but as I have seen you are not like Merry and Mr.Sellers who play all day and night, they even sleep inside the game and never leave their rooms unless of course there's a special reason to leave"

Darknym had a wide smile, he was going to give her plenty of reasons after their marriage.

"By the way when can I meet Mr.Sellers?"

Asked Chris as they left the capsules.

"He arrives next week, from abroad"

The chief answered.

"Could I try some psychic stuff at a later hour, around nine?"

"Well normally we don't work so late, but If you find anyone working at that hour you can always ask them for help"

"Then I'll be at the Tenth floor if you will be needing me later"

Chris left and went to log in Allastar.
