《The Games That Bind Us》Chapter 14 - Final Dark Room
Advertisement
Looking through around 50 eyes I saw that the room I was in was small, however It had a trap door on the ground that just falls all the way down to what I guess is bellow the mountain. so without checking if it was safe I just jumped out of curiosity more then anything else, cant be worse then the headmaster. it was a straight drop however I would survive it with my Blink Step so that was no issue, after falling for a it the ground was within my sight and I blink step into a standing position with a smile on my face. I looked around and saw a BIG RED BUTTON!!! which I follow through with the only logical thing to do.
*Beep*
I pushed the button and then feel drained. I turn around to a door which was not there before and see a me open it. It was like looking at a mirror. I would question it further however I got my answer from the blue box.
[Boss Quest Incoming: Inner Demons. suppress your worst enemy to be able to earn an advancement you your gamer ability.]
[Rewards: Class system. Better Inventory, Gamers Body Advanced, Gamers Mind Advanced, Quest System Advanced and 140,000 xp]
Sorry me... but you have to die... nothing personal, its just that those rewards look amazing.
[Aura: Dragon Slayer]
I power up only to see that the other me did it to, except faster and had already moved right in front of me... fast. that was almost to fast. However I Blink Stepped out of the way of his dragon claw... I see how it works. I use dragon claw now that he is defenceless and then he Blink Stepped behind me with his hand only millimetres from me and he sliced straight through me.
[-1000 HP]
now would be a good time to say I only have a base amount of 5000 HP and a regeneration speed of 50 per second in combat with it being 100 per second out of combat. I thought It was amazing, however I was racked by a me. I took the time to look at his name tag.
[The Gamer's Shadow]
[Level 1]
[John The Shadow]
Interesting. however I wont lose that easily. I powered up for a frontal attack which he went to block and Blink Stepped behind him to slice him with Dragon Claw. which he avoided with Blink Step and returned the favour to me with a powerful Dragon Leg kick.
[-750 HP]
painful. I am now low on Health and Mana, damn it my moves take to much out of me and my defence is to low, however he should be low on Mana to because of using more then me. I then decide to do something I would most likely regret.
"Is That All You Have? HA, pathetic" I said it, screwing my self over in the process. he then Blink Stepped behind me, I turned and he was behind me again, he kept using Blink Step countless times. so that is nice to know, his Mana pool is unlimited, I thought I was OP. how am I going to win now. I have to win.

"You Cant Win John" he said to me. He thinks I cant win.
"Hey, looking at this from the outside anyone would Know that the winner would be John" I said making the joke of him also being called John.
"Nice joke however this is serious. you pushed the ... BIG... RED... BUTTON!!!" He said while pointing at the big red button. even in the dark room with my Dragon Eye it was easy to tell it was red. however I did not expect my shadow to joke.
"I know it is serious, however If I win I get an update." I said looking at that amazing awesome reward screen with eyes that changed into that of a greedy businessman looking at money.
"Where does it say that? you have to suppress me. not beat me worse then the headmaster beats you" After that I grabbed desperately at my chest and fell to my knees like I had just been shot through the heart
"That was a low blow. I Doubt even you could beat him" I said until he tilted his head.
"I could beat him. I am in affect your power. all Our stats read infinite symbols and all Our skills are level 99, that's how it is for me. and to Suppress me you only have to push the button again and it will reverse the process. the reason the rewards are so high because doing so will forcefully fuse us perfectly, meaning I will be a voice inside your head for a while and You are going to feel a lot of pain, after that The Headmaster's name and level will show, and you will see level regardless of your own. sound fun?" He said with a grin.
I walk over to the BIG RED BUTTON and hold my hand above it, I shut my hands and get ready for the pain to hit me, then I push the button.
[Quest Complete]
[Level Up]
that was anti climactic... no pain, only one level from all that xp. I don't see me levelling up much. oh well I can just train the old fashion way.
[Class Quest: For Your Understanding And Ability In The Art Of Dragon Slaying You Have Been Acknowledged By Verod Dragonsbane And He Will Now Seek You Out As A Disciple Dragon Slayer]
I don't know who Verod is, but I will Happily Become A Dragon Slayer Officially. I started thinking aloud however like an idiot.
"I did it, now just to find that annoying headmaster and shove my foot up his.... I mean say hi and if he has had a nice day." you may be wondering why I did that. Not only was he standing right behind me. but this is what I saw.
[Android R379]
[Level 180,000]
[Conner White]
... I am going to go over to that corner and cry for a bit... 180,000... I CALL HACKS!!!
"Is something wrong, you were supposed to come out much stronger and with a strong look it your eye, I come in and find you in a corner crying. What happened in here?" Kate said with a huge smile on her face. she does not know the true reason. the face that the headmaster is the strongest being in the world.

"I see the headmasters level" I said with a sob. my dreams of crushing the Headmaster will never come.
"I did not know I was that Weak" The Headmaster said with a smile
"So the problem is?" Kate said like it meant nothing, I looked at her level, 63, not bad. it got higher.
"You are level 63 Kate. that is normal, scratch that normal is level 1 through to 9, he is level 180,000" I said with another glance... wait his name is Conner? HA!!!
"Only that? I would have thought I would be higher compared to you, or maybe your skills don't contribute to level, in that case fighting ability could easily surprise you if they have a powerful skill up their sleeves. however you did survive so I may as well reward you. you may sleep with Kate tonight and ...." Before he could finish Kate Kicked Conner with a super fire Kick which he could resist however he just let himself fly through a few walls and fall to the ground.
"DAD!!! NOT ANOTHER WORD!!!" Kate said with a face Red with embarrassment. I honestly don't know why he thinks that Kate would like me enough to let me live through that.
"What, didn't you say you wanted to apologise for GRAA..." after a small volcano erupted over the Headmaster Kate ran off somewhere leaving Steam coming off of her head. she is hot... MEAN LIKE TEMPERATURE... nothing more....
"Oh yea, Conner, can I ask if you know someone called Verod Dragonsbane?" I asked the Conner and he suddenly without a scratch was right in front of me with a worried expression on his wooden mask.
"How do you know of that name? I do know it myself as he is one of the strongest warriors on the planet. I fought him once and lost" Said Conner. HE LOST???
"I cant believe you" I said bluntly. I just cant picture anyone beating the Headmaster Conner with a level of 180,000
"Yea yea, so why do you want to know?" Conner asked with a concerned face. I then explained what a class quest was and then I said it.
"...So that means that Verod is most likely coming here" I said this and saw the Headmasters Wooden Tribal Mask go white. this sent shivers down my spine. HOW STRONG IS THIS GUY TO SCARE THE MONSTER BEFORE ME?
"I am so sorry. I looks like you wont have much time left with Kate as your partner. when you come back from training with him you may be able to join with Kate if nobody has partnered with her before you come back. I estimate you have a month before you leave?" Conner said with pity in his voice.
after this I was shocked. had only been at the three fists academy for a few days and already being told I was getting separated from my partner and my brother. it was like a hammer had struck me when I was turned to glass.
"how long will I be gone for?" I asked hoping to get an estimation on time. this was a lot to take in.
"well after he gets here estimate you wont be back for a year or so. you will come back for next years beginning. I can get you in without exams knowing you will be a qualified Dragon Slayer" Conner said to me with his face going back to a brown wooden colour.
"ok... well I will make the most of the next month here to learn what I can. oh and can you do me a favour and not tell anyone, I don't want to worry them... ok I don't want to worry my brother, I don't know anyone else that would miss me that much" I said while returning my Aura to default.
[Aura: Default]
"Oh and John. my senses show you ability has gotten a lot stronger, that will help" Conner said with a smile and his face at a normal colour.
"I did didn't I?" I said only just remembering. "One moment I need to do something" I then opened up my stat window and saw I had 5 points to spend
stats were currently at a nice... strength 5, Dexterity 8, Vitality 5, Wisdom 4, Intelligence 5, Charm 1, Willpower 1, Fighting Spirit 1.
Nice new stat system... to bad, I will save my stat points for a rainy day. If I save up a lot of points and only train for stats then I will become strong and the extra stat points I will save up for later. leaving me near invincible. by level 10 I will have 50 stat points racked up. already worth saving as by that level I will have trained non stop.... OP HERE I COME!!!
"Ok now that I have checked it I will be in my room, bye Conner" I said with a wave and he vanished.
I then walked back to me room to get some much needed sleep, although I don't need it I could use some relaxation. I then sit down and sleep.
[Saving. . . Save Complete]
[Upon Death you will now return to the last time you slept instead of at the cost of 99% of your stat points you will just loose some xp and durability of items]
so it added item durability. I will also have to test out this new sleep re spawn thing, it sounds awesome... But for now... sleep...
