《love to die for | mattia polibio》epilogue

twenty-three years later.
a peaceful smile spread across my face as i thought about the way eliza and him looked at one another as they exchanged vows at the altar.
their love reminded me of a feeling i had experienced once, and a mixture of pride and happiness surged through me when i saw them dance together, and i knew he could feel it too.
the wedding was nothing short of perfect.
at the end of it i held eliza's hand in mine.
'ready?' i asked her.
'yes.' she nodded.
we walked out behind the church and followed the familiar pathway to his grave.
on it, it read;
mattia polibio
beloved by all around him
the cause behind the polibio law
2003 - 2021
we laid our flowers on the earthy surface, and i pictured how he would smile as he heard her beautiful, matured voice, and i knew he would be listening.
'i couldn't be prouder to call you my dad, i am so grateful for everything you did, without you and mom and aunt nat, i wouldn't have him,' she glanced over at her groom in the distance, 'so thank you - both of you - i just wish we could've had more time together.'
i wiped the stray tear that streamed down her cheek.
'he'll always love you.' i spoke truthfully, reminiscing on the last sentences he had spoken to me.
she embraced me in a long hug, trying her best to suppress her sadness.
through the corner of my eye i stared at the head stone.
i love you. i mouthed.

8 187[Conquerors Of The Delve] [Abandoned]
28-year-old Lucian was a smart and hard-worker, having put aside enough money since joining a family friend's company at the age of 16. But with the company now bankrupt, and no way of earning a scholarship, he finds himself not employed, educated or in training. While browsing the web, one thing consistently popped up, overshadowing all else. An Augmented VReality game, a dungeon delver residing inside an Open World MMORPG. A game that granted the players a hand in the game's geography, architecture and community, allowing them to build their own world. The economy was also interchangeable with real currency. Items could be freely sold and bought, with both in-game money and real-life e-cash. But what truly caught his attention were the game rules. For they allowed him to be what he wanted to be and do what he wanted to do without any real-life repercussions. Kill, Rape and Pillage. The only people who could stop you were players who possessed the ability to do so.
