《Whodunnit? Murder On Mystery Mountain》10 Hot Potato
Advertisement
Jaclyn, Sherman, Phillip, and Audrey followed Lana to a building not far from the top of camp. It looked like a nightmarish shed. In reality, it was the camp's freezer and in this case, the morgue. The whole place looked abandoned and it had a horrible air to it that they all felt. Lana tried not to glance at the body as they all entered the building.
However, the others had to look at the body. Trinity had been a happy woman for the short time that they knew her. It shocked the people in the room that it had been her as the first to be chosen to die. Phillip walked to the body first, not afraid of what he would see, but curious.
Trinity was burnt everywhere, her hands and legs were steaming. "We probably shouldn't touch her." Sherman piped up. "She's hot I'm sure." Phillip nodded at this and they all put on some protective gloves. Audrey stepped up next to Phillip. "So we have to find out how she died, by looking at her body." She said the obvious and touched Trinity's chest.
Audrey screamed. Instead of her hand stopping at Trinity's ribs, her hand sunk into the skin. "She has no ribs!" She made a face. Jaclyn and Sherman moved to look at the place where Audrey had touched. "You're right. The killer must have taken them. What the actual hell?" Sherman gritted his teeth. "When I get my hands on that piece of fucking shit, I'm gonna-." He was interrupted. "Oh my god!"
Jaclyn had turned over the body and had found a discovery. "Look!" They all peered down at Trinitys seared back. There, in the center was a medium sized hole, dried blood caked around the edges. Phillip stepped back. "That's so gross." Sherman stole at glance at the former model. He even looked cute when he was scared. Audrey noticed this too. Jaclyn watched the three of them out of the corner of her eye.

She didn't get a chance to say anything in protest, because the door of the morgue suddenly swung open and Lana stepped through. "Time is up." She said holding a bell, she rung it. Lana motioned for them to step pass her and head back to the top of camp. When she was sure they were gone, Lana walked into the room; the morgue.
Lana planned to find clues and figure out who this twisted killer was. The first step was to solve the crime along the other staff members. Then to find the killer and drive a knife through their back. It would feel absolutely glorious to watch the killer fall before they could escape or finish their evil plan. Lana gathered all of the clues she could from Trinity's body and walked out into the blaring sun.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
