Sorrow

Zoe spent the next two hours changing my clothes and appearance. She made me short, fat, tall, beautiful, ugly, and everything in between. I could tell that she hadn't been playing games for very long. We never left the town square and never did any real quests. The only good thing about this game was that you could fly. I might have almost passed out the first time Zoe flew me into the sky, but I eventually got used to it. The boobs on my chest also never changed so that was good too. But after squeezing my own boobs so many times I didn't feel the excitement anymore. It just wasn't the same. Since I was in a game it didn't matter whose I squeezed right? They were all just avatars so it didn't matter, right?

I switched my view and waited for Zoe to leave her room. The system allows me to move freely whenever Zoe isn't playing. After a while, she finally got up to go to the restroom. I waited for the door to close and instantly switched to my system avatar. I sprinted across town. Since I knew everything about the game, I also had the map etched into my mind.

"Please, please don't come back Zoe," I prayed. I turned the corner and there it was; true heaven. The sign read 'Twinkling Fairies'. "Thank you, God," I sniffled, "perhaps I treated you too harshly," I fell to my knees and felt artificial tears flow out of my eyes; I made it. My life had led up to this moment. I stood up and straightened my face, now was no time to cry! It was time for action! I slowly walked towards the entrance, my hand shaking as I reached for the door. On the other side of this door... on the other side of this door, there were more babes than a beach on spring break. I grasped the handle and pulled the door open. I held my breath, "Here we go," I thought.

The door opened and I stepped in, standing in front of me to greet me was three smoking hot, beautiful, thong-wearing, ... DUDES!? I screamed in horror and turned and ran as fast as I could. "WHAT THE F*CK WAS THAT!" I collapsed on the ground and sobbed, except instead of joy they were tears of misery and anguish. Why do you have to toy with my emotions? "DO YOU THINK THIS IS A GAME? ... This... This is." I froze. Straightened up. And laughed, "HAHAHAHAHA, I SEE. YOU THINK YOU CAN BREAK ME?... ME? NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, FOR I AM KING ELIAS! MY EMOTION'S SHALL NEVER FALTER! MY WILL IS STRONGER THAN A THOUSAND MEN! YOU THINK YOU CAN PLAY ME LIKE A FLUTE? THINK AGAIN YOU BASTARD!"

After a few minutes of crippling depression. A window popped into my view, 'You are being transported to your previous state'. I was instantly teleported back into the market where Zoe had been shopping, my avatar a girl once again. "User command/ monitor-camera." I saw Zoe enter her room and sit back down in front of me.

"Hey Zoe, how about we do a kill quest?" Zoe's friend Steph asked. "I'm getting bored."

"Sure, but where do we get weapons?" Zoe responded.

"There's a shop on the other side of town, let's go."

"This is a staff capable of summoning high level tamed beasts."

"Wooow!"

The shop owner gave us his pitch as we browsed the large variety of weapons. There were swords, staffs, wands, shields, armor, and all the other typical fantasy sh*t.

"I'll take the dungeon slayer set," Zoe announced.

"That'll be 300,000 gold," the shop owner says.

"Ok, hold on Steph I gotta get my card," Zoe says.

300,000 gold!? That was like four hundred dollars in real money! I mean I knew she was rich but I never expected her to drop four hundred dollars on a game. But she did, and pretty soon, I was decked out in dark purple armor. I also had a longsword with a purple blade and a wand that casts dark magic. I had information on every single item in the game, so I knew these were all high-level items.

"Ok! Now let's go fight a boss!" Steph says after we leave the shop.

"A boss? Can we beat it?" Zoe asks, concerned.

"Obviously, I mean just look at your armor! And if you don't know how to fight yet, you can fight using the auto-pilot mode."

"auto-pilot?"

"The game attacks and loots for you so you don't have to, although, the computer isn't very good. But it's still better than you are right now," Steph explained.

"Wow, thanks. Ok then let's get on with it." Zoe says.

"Thank god." I thought; If there was no auto-pilot I'd be dead for sure since it's only Zoe's first day playing.

I almost threw up while we were flying to the dungeon but thankfully held it in; Zoe is not good at flying. She ran me into three different trees and now there's sap on my fingers, which is the most annoying thing ever since it's so difficult to wash off. She also purposefully flew into the water in order to see if 'she' could swim; so now I was soaking wet and covered in tree sap.

The dungeon was just outside of the fairy kingdoms' walls. It was a lower level dungeon since it was so close by. Its entrance was a gaping hole in the ground with jagged rocks protruding from all angles.

"I guess we should be careful flying in," Zoe says.

"Are you f*cking serious," I thought, "looks like I'm dying again."

Just as we were about to enter, Zoe's cell phone rang, "Hold on Steph, I gotta take this call." I switched to the camera and saw her take off her headset, "Hello mother," she says, "... What, no I'm busy! ... Mom you ca-... fine I'll be there in a second," She hung up the call and picked up her headset, "Sorry Steph, but I have to go for the night, I'll see you tomorrow," she sounded pissed as she spoke.

"Ah, okay... Wait hold on!"

"What is it?" Zoe asked.

"If you put your game on auto-pilot it will automatically clear the dungeon for you. And when it's finished, the game automatically shuts off after being AFK," Steph says.

"Wow, that's super helpful, thanks!" She turned on auto-pilot and left. Steph also left for some reason.

I waited for auto-pilot to kick in and start controlling me but it never did. Another window appeared into my view, 'Clear the dungeon before Zoe returns'. "You gotta be f*cking kidding me! There's absolutely no way I'm doing that!" I turned around and tried to fly away but a warning appeared 'failure will result in the deletion of the user "Elias"'. "WHAT!" I exclaimed. I turned back toward the terrifying dungeon and took a step forward, "This is bullsh*t."

Sorry for the short chapter, hope you enjoyed it.
