Chapter 13 - Skeletons are easy to kill

Hello, gaming_noob_4556 here,

I wanna say I would really enjoy it if any of you could tell me some of your ideas, for the future of my book.

Don't forget to add my book to your collection if you're enjoying it so far!

Please point out mistakes

Entering the hut that was now empty compared to before, she ventured further, she made sure she was quiet.

Stopping at corners to look left and right.

"This feels more like a mansion than a hut". She muttered to herself., the space was 100x larger compared to its outer appearance.

She wandered around the maze-like building, finding only a few slow-moving skeletons.

She quickly fell with them, she now had 7 kills.

She found a weird letter on a desk:

[To Sir Armil,

We regret to inform you of a great threat, please come we ask for your aid.

A powerful Dark mage is running rampant in the southern capital,

He's destroyed most of the mage towers.

Only a few civilians have survived this slaughter.

Beggingly, Mage Exal!]

"What does this mean, Maybe a storyline quest?". HoneyHUT reads through the paper and begins to question what she's found maybe a small Easter egg.

Putting it in her inventory she journeys further along the hallway she was walking down,

Spotting a cut to the right she walks down it, only a few interior changes.

*klak

A skeleton jumped out from a painting, it wielded a strong halberd, and it slowly started to approach her,

Just then a system message appeared before her;

[Tutorial boss

(class: Hidden)]

(Skeleton Knight: Level 5)

For HoneyHUT a level 5 was invincible, and definitely, if one is classed as a boss,

She looked for any escapes, but she found none all she could do was run.

Knowing this is just a game she gets ready to cast some spells, she pulls out her wand and starts to activate a fireball spell.

The skeleton knight had no change in its movement, it seemed scripted, for it was amazing to know.

She quickly showered the skeleton with fireballs, 3 of the 8 she shot missed, each of the fireballs did a combined damage of 32, and the skeleton wasn't fazed.

It kept charging, and HoneyHUT was starting to feel even more stressed out, she got way over her own head, just before she was crying about that she could barely kill a squirrel,

Now she was fighting a powerful skeleton knight in her opinion, she wanted to run and so she did.

As she ran, the skeleton knight behind increased in pace, she didn't look behind her and that was a big mistake, the skeleton swung its halberd with all its strength;

Her leg was cut clean off, and she dived into a pottery pot, the small share cut her skin,

Ah*

She screams in agony as she stares at the rundown wood walls of this ginormous hut,

Klakal*

She pivots her waist, and thanks to changing pain sensitivity she barely feels the major injury, her mind is now focused on the enemy in front of her, and the adrenaline is helping her keep sane.

The skeleton eyes her down, and she slowly crawls toward her wand, but before that, she checks her health, she's in the red, grinding her teeth.

'WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS GAME'. she angrily thought.

'Whoever made this is a psychopath, who the fuck adds real pain into a game'

She was so annoyed she was expecting a fun level grinding game that she could do with her own hands not some personal hell-like hellscape,

She arrived at her wand, and the minute she touched it she chanted the heal spell

"Heal" bracing for the next attack she grabs the broken chair that her wand was under.

Boof*

The skeleton, halberd was blocked by the wooden chair, but it was split in two,

She let out a yelp because of the strong force.

She prayed, prayed for a chance to escape, plus she couldn't log out since she was in combat.

"I HATE THESE DEVELOPERS". she screams.

She chanted a fireball spell, her mana was now running low, still crying to herself it missed.

The slow-moving skeleton swung once more, it has pinned her to the wall.

'At least it has a slow attack speed'. She tries to reassure herself, that she doesn't wanna die, how much pain would she feel if she died?

That thought echoed through her mind;

'What..what if.. I DIE'. This dress filled her already weakening will,

'In comics, anime, and even webtoons, VRMMORPGS are seen as just games, but this is just a gateway to a never-ending hell.

Swoosh*

She dodges once more, this skeleton is keeping her from going crazy,

She wanted help, but who could she pray to?

She was in a game.

Kah*

Blood splattered everywhere:

#YOU ARE DEAD#

Respawn or log out.

She immediately logged off, and when she awoke from this 'game' she was in deep sweat she could still feel the numbness of the pain in her leg and neck.

"Was that real?". She questions her sanity

Sarah quickly poured and drank some water, she had never felt so scared In the entirety of her whole life.

She fell to the floor, still feeling like the monster was out to get her.

Ash -POV-

Ash believe it or not was sleeping, he was probably overworking himself.

His mother asked his father to place him on his bed since he had fainted on the couch downstairs.

His father was harsh but not evil, he did it even though it was a struggle.

Ash now waking up, was drenched in sweat he had a weird dream, something with a spear-like weapon was chasing him.

"What was that?". He questioned,

"Im getting nightmares after releasing my beta, am I really that stressed?"

He swiped away the sweat on his forehead, pulling away his balnkt he walked towards his mini-fridge and pulled a bottle of water out and gulped it as fast as he could.

Once he was finished a system window appeared before him;

It was blue, a orange glint appeared around its edges.

[Divine Power: 150/300]

"What is this?, I'll think about it once I'm more awake". He tells himself, he walked out of his room and grabbed a towel from the airing cupboard.

Turning on the cold water then hopping in then shower.

He summons this new system window;

'Is it the amount of players within my game, no it says 150 I only have 100 players'. he thinks to himself.

"I should worry about it upright now".

Suddenly a green system panel appeared to the right of the other one he had summoned.

[+3 money]

"Huh, how'd I get that?". Another thing to question he tears up a little.

What is he supposed to do with this, he has no idea what's happening.

"it'll come to be, I will know at some point". He affirms to himself,

Now washing his hair the notifications piled up, he now acquired £34.
