《VR: Ascension》Chapter 8-Cornered

As I was running my character’s stamina was running low. It seems that my current stamina will only last me 30 minutes of running with every 5 minutes of rest. I checked my map and it seems that most of them manage to get out of the forest alive. I was sitting at the foot of my mountain resting up.
Ding!
Friend RequestMooMoooQuatu
I decided to accept both of them since they were my teammates. Even if I did try to set them fire.
Moomooo were you the one who set fire to the forest?
I replied with, Yes.
Moomooo Did you know we were in there?
Yes.
Are you going to work with us or nah?
Yes.
I replied. Especially after that stunt I pulled it would be more beneficial for me to work with them.
Where are you?
Base of the Demon Mountain
Why are you there?
Running away… I replied like it couldn't be any more obvious.
So what are you planning to do now?
I don't know anymore you got any more brilliant plans?
Nah, I was thinking I could wipe everyone out in the forest.
I replied honestly.
Oh well Quatu and I were just thinking that we would try to survive until we are in the top 100.
Good plan I will probable do the same.
Goodluck.
You too.
I began to hike up the mountain again. About 5 minutes later I heard a
Ding!
The elves forces have been eliminated. Finally Forces Humans 43, Beastman 22 and demons 1
Tracking System has been deactivated. Blimp tracking has been activate.
Blimp tracking is when for 10 seconds your exact location will be shown to everyone. This happens every 10 minutes. It is to speed up the game in a big map.
The blimp activated and I saw a swarm of red dots charging over to this mountain.
Great I thought sarcastically. I was still climbing up the mountain but then I activated the pain sensors. Using my hands I swiped it so I would receive the minimum about of pain. It isn’t like I was a sadist or something.

I arrive back in the cave. I ran around searching for weapons. I was hoping I could find a bomb or something but unluckily I did not. Sigh, wheres a bomb fanatic when you need one. I’m wondering how Wenxin was doing. Thinking back she did say she would only like the best player. At that time I don’t know what happened but I felt extra motivated, like someone gave me a mix of red bull, monster, shot of pure caffeine and a whole lot of sugar.
Seeing, that I could not find something I can use and from the looks of the map they will be here in less than 10 minutes I ran out of the cave. I climbed up higher since the snow would get deeper and deeper. It is probable a stupid idea but at the time I was thinking of hiding in the snow and use guerrilla tactics to kill 65 of them. Honestly I don't know why I thought it was brilliant at the time but it turned out to be quite stupid and a time waster.
I ran further up the hill and began to try and burrow myself into the snow but after 5 minutes of digging it turned out to be quite tiring and I wasn't getting anywhere. I was still pretty close to the cave so I was thinking of running back into the cave to warm myself up. Except once I was near the cave I saw all the players surrounding me in a crescent moon shape at the bottom.
I couldn’t help but smile to myself. I don’t know why but I always love it when I am trapped in a corner. Whether it be basketball, martial arts and even chess when I am trap in the corner it seems my inner dragon would spring forth. I don't mean the one between my legs either.
I gripped my sword handle so tightly that you can see the veins pop out.
“SURRENDER NOW AND I WILL GO EASY ON YOU!” I bluffed really loud. Thinking back that was a pretty embarrassing bluff.

Like a classic villain he replied with, “you in what army!?”
One of the soldiers steps up and took out a speaker. “Everyone in position!” He shouted through the speaker and the voice echoed out. I could literally feel those vibrations going through me. I saw a familiar name behind the whole army watching. It was Fallen Leaf.
At the time I was thinking where did he get the speaker from, rather than admiring Fallen Leaf.
The 65 players began to slowly form a circle around me. There were 5 players from what I could see that picked up arching. During this event, players are allowed to pick up dead npc weapons.
My eyes were scanning the scenery like a 3D printer. My heart beat racing like a v10 engine as I was thinking of how Wenxin would hug me and give me a kiss on the cheeks if I make it through this. Anyway back to reality or virtual reality in this case. From the looks of things I had no where to escape. The cave’s entrance was three feet away from me and I could run into it whenever I want. The entrance could fit about three players at a time so logically it would be my best choice of action. It would restrict the amount of players that can attack me at once. The biggest problem came from my level. Due to me not killing a single person everyone else’s level were around level 15.
“MARCH ONWARD!” I heard someone shout through a voice amplifier. 50 players began to charge forward. I could feel a slight tremble.
But then I heard a distant rumble. The floor began to shake. I couldn't help but smile a bit because I have seen so many movies about this type of incident. It was an avalanche sent by the Gods. I quickly dived into the cave to give myself shelter as a I saw well a giant avalanche. It came crashing through. One of the players near me tried to get in too but sadly I stalled him long enough at the entrance that he got swept away too.
Numbers began to pop up as player after players began to die.
“Hahahaha,” I laughed maniacally. It truly was a lucky break. I wonder what I prize was going to be. One of the players actually did die and the ironic part is that his head was sticking out of the snow but the rest of his body was not. I picked up my sword and began to stab at him. He was level 16 and I was still level one so it took a while. I wonder how much pain he felt.
-7
-5
-8
-6
-3
Those tiny numbers kept popping up for a while until he officially died. I still can’t believe they were this stupid and caused their own death. I guess they thought this was just a game and didn't really think of the natural causes. Sucks for them that the 1 percent didn't include Avalanche support. Still where did he get that speaker from through?

The Girl from the Mountain
Alexandra Bedford is a weapon, a young woman with telekinetic powers capable of leveling entire cities, born to fight in the desolate remains of post-apocalyptic North America. There is only one problem: she may be losing control of her abilities. Sixteen years after a global pandemic devastated the earth’s population, the lines in the old United States have been drawn between the Cheyenne Directorate in Colorado and the New England Alliance on the East Coast. The Directorate, of which Alexandra is a part, is a small but powerful organization dedicated to returning the country to its former glory. However, when a diplomatic mission to the New England Alliance goes wrong, Alexandra finds herself at the center of a bloody civil war. Battles are fought on the old highways and in dilapidated towns and once-great cities. And as the conflict escalates, all of North America faces the threat of being burnt away by nuclear fire. Against this backdrop of war, Alexandra tries to uncover the long-hidden secrets behind the plague, her abilities, and the two men fighting to decide the fate of the United States - Henry Bedford, Alexandra's father and leader of the Directorate, and John Martin, the mysterious figure at the heart of the New England Alliance who may hold the key to everything she seeks. None of this will matter, however, unless Alexandra can prevent the power growing inside her from taking over and consuming the very world she is fighting to save. Author's Notes: I appreciate you taking a look at my novel, The Girl from the Mountain. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, military thrillers, and/or cosmic horror, I think you'll enjoy this story. I completed the novel's first draft back in 2011 and made significant changes in 2016. Since then, I've more-or-less sat on the manuscript while working on other projects. Thanks to a bit of prodding, I've decided to send this story out into the wild with some touch-ups and additional revisions. I welcome any comments or criticisms, and I hope you enjoy The Girl from the Mountain!

A boy leaves his hometown, tired of his menial life and, most importantly, the poverty of his village. His destination is Rubia, Capital of the Five Continents; and his goal, money to bring home.
