《Infinity || Dan Smith》Sixteen.

After Charlie awkwardly introduces herself to Kyle she then returns to Dan's side. She's more than comfortable with Dan, although the same can't be said for Kyle just yet.
"We need to go in the older part of the arcade, the more retro games." Kyle laughs while Charlie closely follows Dan as they briskly walk in between all of the colourful machines.
The more they go into the arcade, the more the music gets louder. Every time Dan turns back to check on Charlie he sees her lips moving, like she's singing. It surprises him but the music is from the early-to-late 2000s.
"Here! They still have it." Kyle laughs in shock. He wasn't suspecting the faulty machine to be still here, it means not a lot of people know about the seemingly limitless prize supply. All three of the stand around it.
"A claw machine?" Charlie laughs in shock.
"I thought you was going to teach me how to be a bad person?" Charlie laughs at how stupid her request seems now. Dan and Kyle on the other hand both look at each other with a sinister smile.
"We're gonna rob it. Innit." Charlie nervously laughs putting her hand over her mouth.
"Try not to look suspicious." Kyle whispers as the music quiets down dramatically.
"Fuck yes!" Kyle shouts a little too loud as the quiet music then morphs into another nostalgic song. It's almost like the owners know that this is what people want to hear at full volume...Wonderwall.
Charlie closes her eyes and sways to the music at first, but she suddenly stops and starts singing. She slowly opens her pretty eyes and looks at Dan while singing one certain line in particular...
"I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do, about you now".

While they lovingly look at each other...they don't do the cliché. As much as Dan and Charlie want to recite the Dirty Dancing routine they hold back. Instead Dan quickly looks away while Charlie nervously laughs. She's a good singer - Kyle thinks to himself. Dan on the other hand wants to sign her up to his old record label. She's a better singer than me!
"What do we do again?" Dan asks while Kyle keeps a look out for any staff, he knows that he really shouldn't come back to this arcade...especially since him and his mates nearly got caught last time. Luckily Kyle bolted before the cops came, it was a very close call and he doesn't wish to get caught.
"Wait...I need to tell the story..." It's a part of Kyle's routine to impress his lady friends. Dan on the other hand tilts his head back in frustration, he's heard the 'story' one too many times.
Charlie is intrigued, so she doesn't say no to the story. "So me and my mates used to cat call girls, we was always popping our heads over our fence. Every time we got a girl we liked we'd take her to the arcade" - Dan yawns - "and if they're shit at arcade games we'd secretly get a magnet..." Kyle holds it up with a mischievous smile taking out his magnet from his back pocket.
"And you would drag it across the glass-" Kyle angrily cuts Dan off before he can ruin the whole story for Charlie.
Kyle then turns around so that he isn't looking directly at Dan. "Sorry about him. He doesn't appreciate a nice little gesture." With that Charlie shakes her head with a smile, she just wants to hear the rest of the story.

"It's being called pikey, mate. You can't be arsed to pay a quid for a soft toy." Dan interferes again.
"It's being called romantic. Last time you was romantic it turned out that she was a little messed up dead girl." Dan's eyes widen while Kyle totally ignores Dan.
"Least I don't tell a stupid story for emphasis."
"It's actually cool." Charlie says pointing at Kyle who sarcastically smiles.
"Well fuck me." Dan turns away for a couple of seconds while Kyle continues showing what Charlie has to do in story form. It's better than giving boring instructions, Kyle thinks to himself while Charlie watches him pull the contents of the machine into a black plastic bin bag.
But Dan's plan has worked...Charlie feels just like Lily Marrow!

The Villain's Double Life
“The Villain’s Double Life as the Hero’s Mentor," “Demon Nobles Want to Live Too: A Hero-Raising Simulator for the Transmigrated Villain," “Just Because I’m a Villain Doesn’t Mean I Want the World to End!” Cyrus Calvide was the second son of an aristocratic lord; haughty, vain and power-hungry. One day, when his ancestral inheritance manifested, he discovered he was able to steal other’s powers and abilities using demonic magic. Taking this as a sign that he was destined to rule over others and become the new king of this land, he poisoned his father, killed his elder brother, and embarked on the path to greatness, taking advantage of a demonic invasion to consolidate power and harvest the abilities of others in a cruel and bloody fashion. Until he was summarily defeated by the Hero as a mid-game boss battle and executed for his crimes, of course. When a dedicated fan of the RPG “Next to Eden” awakened in the body of the cruelest future Count, four years before the beginning of the game, he pledged to live humbly. He would let his brother lead and support the Hero from the shadows to ensure the demon invasion would be defeated and he could enjoy life in peace. Rather, he would have, if he hadn’t gotten the Hero’s mentor killed in a freak monster attack before the Hero’s training could even begin. How was he supposed to live a life of peace and luxury if the Hero couldn’t stop the end of the world!? Donning a mask, Cyrus took up mentoring the Hero himself; how hard could it possibly be? . . . Four years later, the kind jack-of-all-trades hero Leon had become a twisted powerhouse: alienating his party members, clearing enemy encounters in a single magical blast, and coldly ignoring the affections of the girl whose love would have allowed him to clear the final boss. He seemed to have plastered himself to his Master’s side, instead. Cyrus bit back his despair while the hero reached out to grasp his hand. “Please stop ignoring the saint, Leon; you can't beat the Demon King by grinding stats! You need the power of love, remember?” “Don’t worry, Master,” Leon smiled as he traced the lines of Cyrus’s palm gently, almost reverently. “I have all the love I need.” VDL is two parts plot and worldbuilding, one part slow-build gay romance, starring a man far too proud to admit he's in over his head and the hero who loves him. Should be updating weekly.

Gaming on a MUD is difficult.
This is a story based on my characters background and journal that I played on a mud (Multi User Dungeon) over the course of several years. Dozens of people play a text based command line game at the same time. I figured I'd try to turn in into a story to see if anyone found it interesting. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. This is my first time so not very experienced. It is a story about how going into a multi player game expecting a typical RPG experience turns into something else because other players are involved.
