《Wrap Me in Gold ; Reader X Midas (Fortnite)》Chapter 3 | Get Comfortable
Advertisement
You began blinking rapidly thinking maybe somehow your eyes will open and you'll be out of this dream or nightmare, no surprise when you still sat there in the same room. You still couldn't believe which then led you to pinch yourself. "This is real.." You whispered to yourself. Hearing the door open you whipped your head with widen eyes as to who could be there for you. It was one of the men in their all white suit gear, staring at you before he spoke.
"Do not try anything, if you do so. you will immediately be taken into custody at the shark." He warned before coming closer to handcuff you from behind. 'the shark?' you thought yourself making a confused face. What the hell did he mean? Was he going to feed to a literal shark?! You freaked out at the possibilities but remained calm so that the guard did not assume you were doing something wrong. Boy did you not want to see what he meant by "the shark". The man led you to a desk next to a photo booth with an empty chair where you assumed you'll be seated in, and to your intentions, you were correct. "We've called someone in to talk to you and they'll be here shortly, don't move anywhere." it felt like he was staring through your soul even though you couldn't even see him with his weird looking mask. Nodding slowly you turned your head towards the empty chair behind the desk wondering who will be sitting there. Are they going to kill you? Interrogate you?! All of these thoughts going through your head making you feel more and more anxious.
About 10 minutes passed by and your hands were feeling tense from the cuffs. It sucked, you weren't even cuffed with your hands in the front so when you got itchy or your hair got in your face, you'd just have to take it and deal with it. "Is there anyway you can take these off of me? It's starting to hurt and I don't feel comfortable, please, I promise I won't do anything, I don't even have anything on me that'll harm you." You pleaded the nearby guard. "No can't do miss, it was an order given to me and I have to obey it. Don't worry, the person coming in to talk to you just arrived." He assured you as you heard a helicopter land nearby. 'Who would want to come in and talk to me?' and your question was quickly answered as the door nearby opened where there was a woman in work attire and yellow see through shade appeared.

"Evening henchmen." she smiled at them. Henchmen! That's what they were called, you recognized them now as the men walking around the island, that is until they were replaced with men wearing black instead, but, you never understood why. The henchman nearby you nodded at her in response as she was making her way to the chair in front of you behind the desk, booting up the computer. As she waited for the computer to completely turn on, her head turned towards you giving you a very slight smile making you feel a little but more comfortable and safe.
"Hi there, I'm Rook. Sorry it took me some time to get here, something came up." You didn't know what to say being so nervous and scared that you'll say something wrong to piss her off. "uh it's okay, it's not like I had anything to do." you replied. "Right, so, who are you and why are you here disturbing this building?" You felt your cheeks heat up from embarrassment. You didn't know what to say, you yourself didn't know why you were here. Rook began typing into the computer logging in and pulling up files after files and you couldn't keep up as you tried to figure out what to answer to her question. "Um.. well I honestly don't know. I woke up in weeping woods in different clothes from what I was wearing previously and I walked up this hill to come across this building and I walked in seeking for help, I didn't mean to disturb! I was just scared." You told her truthfully.
"I see. What's your name?" She looked back at your from her computer. "Y/N.Y/N Y/L/N." you said with a smile. "Okay Y/N, I don't know what exactly to do with that kind of information, but, you don't seem like a threat to me, so hopefully you don't seem like a threat to my boss." She finished typing on her computer. Boss? "Your boss? What do I have to do with your boss?" You asked as she turn off the computer all her attention now on you. "Well, you disturbed and set off an alarm to his building, he wants to see who you are why you're setting them off as you oppose to be threat to the security. It's mandatory sorry, otherwise I'd let you go off with your day but it's his order." Thinking about, that was better than wandering off on your own until god knows how long. At least you had something to do in the meantime until you become face to face with this 'bossman'. Who knows, maybe he'll help you get back home and figure out why you're in this game and in the meantime, recommend somewhere for you to stay until then. 'That hotel at Lazy Lake your always landed at never seemed too bad' You thought to yourself.

"Soo," You began, breaking the awkward silence between you two. "what am I gonna do in the meantime? Stay here or wait outside?"you pointed towards the door with your thumb "Well to keep in contact with you, I'm gonna need your pin number." What pin number? Theres pin numbers in this game? "oh um, I don't seem to have one.." She shot you a confused look making your blood rush to your face worried about how stupid you looked not knowing of such thing. "okay, well in that case we can send a henchman with you back home and we'll alert him when your time comes?" "Well as I mentioned earlier, I don't know how I got here so I kinda don't have a place to stay." you reminded her. "Oh my, this is interesting, never had to deal with something like this before." she furrowed her brows. "I think I should just stay here until then." You suggested. "I would suppose so... But I think I should get you transported to my boss himself!" She started calling over the henchmen to prepare them for transportation. "Oh, you don't have to, I can-" "I think it's the best right now, just get it over with." and with that you were being escorted by the henchmen outside, Rook following not too far behind.
You were put into a helicopter as it flew over the water surrounding a huge white beautiful building. You quickly knew it as the eye of the island on the map, but you never went always seeing a lot of people landing there. You were just scared and always avoided it as much as you could. That being said, you never went in there. As the helicopter landed near the entrance you quickly spotted another helicopter, but it was fully gold, nothing you've seen before, you always saw the same looking henchmen gearing every area on the outside, strapped with different weapons each and every one of them. You gulped as you were intimidated, you never landed her playing the game, but now you're here, in person.
"We're here." Rook smiled down at you, you were still cuffed behind your back. At this point, you wouldn't be surprised if your wrists were bruised. You were escorted out gently and entered into the huge building. "Whoa.." You whispered taking in the beauty of the interior. "Nicely put together isn't it?" Rook turned to you. "Very.. and you work here?" " A lot of us do. Let me take you to my boss right this way." She led you place her hand on your back making sure you follow her every step. You walked up a flight of stair until you were on the third floor. There, she turned to the right where there were two doors, one right ahead and another on the left side of the wall with a scanner looking device on the right next to it. Walking up to the door Rook knocked before a voice can be heard from the inside "Come in!" Rook scanned a key card as the blue light lit up before making a beeping noise swinging the door open. Neither of you walked in yet.
"I have the girl with me right here." she announced to the mystery man "I thought I was going to call you to tell her when to come, at my convenience?" The male sounded slightly annoyed that Rook didn't follow his orders, and it scared you. "Well yes, but something came up and I think you need to help her with it boss." She excused sounding nervous. "Bring her in and close the door when you exit." She nodded and turned to you and walked behind, taking off the handcuffs. "Your wrists look pretty beat up, sorry about that." She looked sincere and it made you feel bad for some reason. "Don't worry about it." You smiled before walking into the room. You hear the door shut at you meet face to face with the man standing in front of his desk, arms paced behind his back. Taking in his image, you quickly realize who he is. No fucking way...
Midas.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
