Chapter 399: Just a Prank, Bro!
━━━━━━ POV ━━━━━━━
“I can’t wait to play INFINITE!”
A happy-go-lucky player happily spawned!
[Ding! Welcome to New Leaf Plus! Allow 18+?]
[Warning! This Village is INTENSE!]
[There is only so much that—]
“Scoff. System, please! Don’t look down on me. I’m a VR veteran. Not to brag, but I’ve been playing for ten years. Think a little gore will scare me? As for the nudity, hehehe…”
He couldn’t help but grin as he happily thought about all he had heard from his friends. He couldn’t wait to knead a sweet pair of tits like he kneaded dough irl, vigorously!
But just as he was daydreaming with a perverted grin…
“Ah! You, you’re a VR veteran, right?!”
An excited guy suddenly came over. The latter had sharp eyes and couldn’t help but approvingly nod as he looked at him. Actually, he wasn’t done praising.
“No hesitation. A confident grin. You’ve merely been here a second, and you’ve already adapted! I won’t waste your time, or mine, please join our guild!”
So goddamn direct! Sweet promises? There were none! And yet, the man’s decisiveness was refreshing, and he had instantly recognized his worth! Pushy? Maybe, but smart too!
Still, the newcomer couldn’t help but scowl…
“You’re the only one recruiting here? How’s that even possible?!”
As the man glanced around, he couldn’t help but feel awe, actually gasping. All around, he could see one and only one emblem: a Sword Exploding Heaven?!
Did this guild seem to have a monopoly on this starter village?! Even he knew that it was near impossible to do! After all, village spawns were random!
1. Guild from another game? Random spawns!
2. Infinite only guild? The game was too recent for that!
3. As for this OP Guild with a smart-looking recruiter? Priceless!
Seeing the gear turning in his head, the recruiter chuckled…
“How about it? Want to join? Rewards go hand in hand with performance. I’m sure you know how it works in big guilds. The sky’s the limit with—”
“Hehe, of course I know. Count me in!”
In a matter of seconds, the newbie veteran was outfitted with an I.R.L. emblem! But he had barely put the emblem on his chest when he quickly felt something was wrong.
Why the hell had the recruiter suddenly broken off in a demonic smile?!
Why was the crowd around suddenly hiding their I.R.L emblems?!
Why were they happily taking a wolf emblem out instead?!
“D-Don’t tell me that was a scam?! What the hell?!”
[Congratulations, Successfully Joined I.R.L!]
[Number One Local Righteous Faction!]
[*PS: Faction Currently at War W—]
The poor player never heard the last part. Before he could even realize what was happening, a black wriggling mass appeared and jumped at his throat!
Rats, black rats, bloodthirsty ones! They engulfed the poor naked beginner, happily clawing his skin out, chewing his flesh, and shattering his bones. They devoured it ALL!
A few seconds later, a certain “VR veteran” spawned back, utterly traumatized. What the fuck was wrong with this village?! What the hell was this game?! And those rats?!
“Those bastards, I can’t believe they— Oh god, Noooo!”
Red eyes, black fur, countless and hungry! As for what happened next? More PTSD…
In the back, a certain D.L. guild couldn’t stop laughing their asses off! Damn, those “VR veterans” were so easy to trick! Activating 18+ in New Leaf+ required balls!
They even chuckled as they patted themselves on the back…
“Ah, I.R.L. are always saying we steal their members.”
“It feels great to be the good guys for once.”
“Yep, helping their war effort!”
“Truly good guys!”
Another flash of blue light later, a certain traumatized “VR veteran” hurriedly threw out this god-forsaken emblem as soon as he respawned!
“I’m guildless! I’m guildless! Don’t eat me!”
As the rats engulfed him…
[0]
[0]
[0]
With a few angry shrieks, the creatures finally gave up, realizing they were doing absolutely no damage. After all, besides the current war, this place was a safe zone!
A certain newbie crumbled on the floor like a wet paper towel. Anyone else would have long logged out, but not him…
“System! Disable GORE!”
“System! Lower Pain Setting!”
“System! Turn Newbie Tutorial On!”
He shouted every relevant command he could think of, and only then did he take a breather, still quivering from the earlier trauma. It had felt so goddamn real as his flesh got— shiver!
But just as he lay lifelessly on the respawn ground… the recruiter came back?!
“Hey, Newbie, how are you doing? Liking the game so far?! Hehe, don’t glare at me like that. Didn’t you see the bold warning message? This village is INTENSE!”
Yes, not just intense, but INTENSE!
“Hehe, you actually haven’t seen anything. Back when the Demon King went against all factions alone and crushed them all, now that was INTENSE!”
What?! A single player had done this?! How was this possible?! More importantly, there was so much longing in the man’s eyes, as if talking about a god rather than an idol.
“Anyway, that’s what Infinite’s like, especially here. Earlier was just a small pran. Don’t take it to heart. Actually, here, eat some food. It will make you feel better!”
The scary and scheming recruiter seemed so human at this moment. Was this the same guy who had tricked him into getting devoured by rats as a level one?!
Besides, how could one sausage smell that good?!
“Fine, but you’re not forgiven just yet.”
The man grumbled as he took a hearty bite of the piping hot sausage. Instantly, his mouth was assaulted by an explosion of flavor. So juicy! So tender! So delicious!
Hell, this sausage almost washed away all the previous trauma! It was—
[Ding! Congratulations: Unlocked Cannibalism!]
“Hehehe, how is it? Delicious, right?”
“WHAT. THE. FUCK. IS—” A blue light later, a certain player was forcefully logged out of the game, the mental measure activating to prevent madness!
A few seconds later, a helpless toilet in real life was subjected to horrific torture. It was a bulimic’s wet dream, the poor guy vomiting all he had ever eaten in his life!
Even now, he couldn’t get the taste out!
What kind of crazy game would—
“No! Game, it’s just a game.”
He repeated non-stop, finally coming to terms with reality. So what if it had said cannibalism?! It was just a bunch of ones and zeros in the end!
That’s when the trauma turned to anger! He even took a pen and scribbled straight on the wall without a care in the world!
Screw I.R.L!
Screw This Game!
Screw The Demonic Legion!
Screw Those Goddamn Rats!
“Tch— If they think it will be the end, they don’t fucking know me! I was the ACE of the Tormentor Guild for so goddamn long before we had a fallout! I’ll destroy them ALL!”
For all the D.L. recruiter’s shenanigans, one had to admire his foresight. He would have stopped at the rats with most, but since that guy could take it, he had gone further.
1. Usual Newbie? → Traumatize them away from I.R.L. and done!
2. Promising Newbie? → Traumatize them away from I.R.L and show them a glimmer of the D.L. madness. After all, there was something about madness. It was contagious!
It was showing its contagion at that very moment…
“Hehe, I’ll destroy them ALL! But first, gotta research! Know your enemy and your enemy’s allies, and you can hurt them where it hurts!” He evilly cackled in the dark.
D.L.’s master was the Demon King, right? That’s when began a more than exhaustive research process! He’d soon learn everything there was to know them all!
Then, about an hour later…
“I see! I now know more than enough!”
He powerfully approached the wall and mightily…
S̶c̶r̶e̶w̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶D̶e̶m̶o̶n̶i̶c̶ ̶L̶e̶g̶i̶o̶n̶!̶ ̶ Only to still for a second. Actually, what if the rats were related to that terrifying Demon King? S̶c̶r̶e̶w̶ ̶T̶h̶o̶s̶e̶ ̶G̶o̶d̶d̶a̶m̶n̶ ̶R̶a̶t̶s̶!̶ ̶ Oh, and S̶c̶r̶e̶w̶ T̶h̶i̶s̶ G̶a̶m̶e̶!̶
“Good! Now, that’s more like it!” He happily nodded at his handiwork, then quickly left it there, going back inside New Leaf+ Village! It didn’t take him long to find the rats.
Then he followed the creatures, akin to a junkie following his favorite dealer! And as he finally found the source of it all, he lost his breath. No, not just his breath, but also his soul.
A goddess of destruction, fighting dozens by herself.
And then there were her rats that were devouring even more!
T-This… she was a ranker, wasn’t she?! As he gasped, shellshocked, words escaped his mouth faster than he could filter them. So this was INFINITE?!
“Holy shit. I think I’m in love!”
She was so damn bloody…
