《DevilDice: the special show》Part 8 - welcome back
Advertisement
The Casino didn't feel normal.
Wheezy was having his 7th shot at the bar, pip and dot where trying to cheer up Pirouletta who wasn't even happy enough to sing. Phear lap was sitting by the storage room and fiddling with his fingers. Hoppus was in the middle of making Wheezy's 8th shot with a gloomy look slapped on his face.
Even the tipsy troops drunken laughter came to a halt.
Pip broke the silence.
"D-Do you guys think it was a good idea to leave Dice like that?..."
The moment Pip said that the casino doors flew open which caught everyone's attention. Dice walked in with a cautious look on his face.
The room fell silent and the doors closed behind Dice. Dice was about to open his mouth before Wheezy went up to his and hugged him very tightly.
"BUDDY!!"
Dice forced a smile and patted Wheezy on the head with a strain in his voice.
"Y-Yeah it's me! I'd really a-appreciate it if ya let me g-go!"
Wheezy let go of Dice with a face red from embarrassment. Pirouletta ran up to Dice with the entire casino staff trailing behind her.
Dice thought he wouldn't be welcome but everyone was hugging him, shaking his hand, saying how much they missed him and letting out hearty laughs. Dice knew his show was ruined but he was glad to be back to the casino, his home. Even if that meant confronting the Devil later on, but Devil was the least of Dices' concerns. The only one who knew what happened was Dice, but he knew that Wheezy and Hoppus might be getting ideas. However, Dice wasn't going to tell them that, everything was finally back to normal and he wasn't going to destroy that with information that had nothing to do with his friends.

After a full half hour of drinking and talking, Dice could go back to his bedroom and take a nap to get rid of all the stress. Dice was saying good night to everyone and then went behind the bar to go through to his bedroom.
Behind the bar is a door leading to a hallways that almost looked like a hotel. The hall way was lined with rooms that each of the staff stayed in since they didn't have homes of their own.
Before Dice could open the door there was a loud bang and Devil was standing near the casino doors with the most angry expression any of the staff members had ever seen.
Dices face dropped. Wheezy and Hoppus grabbed Dice and shoved him behind the bar and sat him down. Dice couldn't see what was going on but he heard the Devils cold voice that made the room drop in temperature.
""
Devil said this in an activated whisper.
The staff knew Dice and Devil too well and knew that Dice did something to upset the Devil. Phear Lapp opened his mouth.
"We haven't seen him boss, maybe he went on a walk."
Devil didn't like this answer and gave Phear a stern look.
""
With no surprise Phear Lapp didn't let his guard down and told the Devil repeatedly that Dice wasn't there. Everyone in the room knew exactly what Devil would do to poor Dice if he got his hands on him. Dice could've easily beat the dish headed dimwits if they didn't get lucky, but if Devil was mad at Dice there was no going back for the die headed man.
Dice had his mouth covered to silence his breathing.
While Phear and Devil went back and forth arguing, Wheezy covered the door while Dice crawled through it, luckily, the Devil didn't see.
When Dice got to his room he shut the door and leaned on it, sobbing silently. Dice didn't want any of his friends to get involved but right now his boss is fighting one of his friends. Dice is grateful that he has friends like them but he was worried it wasn't gonna be like that for long.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
