Chapter 17

The Rider

The bluish matted cover of the virtual capsule went down smoothly. I blinked, focusing my vision. I closed my eyes to shield them from the bright light and tried to turn away, but nothing happened.

“Please wait,” I heard a pleasant female voice, “you cannot leave the capsule right after the emergency shutdown. Your body isn't ready yet.”

I wanted to answer her, but my mouth felt dry and my tongue refused to move.

“You’ll be all right,” said the woman warmly. I didn't see her, but from the sound of her voice, I knew that she was doing something at the head of the capsule, where the manual controls were located. “You’ll be able to get back on your feet in five minutes. Just wait a little bit. Don’t worry.”

“”That was easy for her to say. She hadn’t spent almost two weeks in a crazy dark world, climbing trees and castle walls, fighting monsters, predators and seeing blood at every corner…

Well, everything was going to be all right. Finally, I would be able to rest and relax. I wouldn’t have to fight to save my skin anymore. I wouldn't have to live in constant fear that someone would jump from behind a tree and attack me. I wouldn’t have to trample the decayed grass and breathe the stench. I was finally back…

I would go home tonight, take a shower, have a beer and order some... Hey! Who was growling over there?

“G-R-R!!! G-R-R!!!” A loud roar pulled me out of my much too realistic dream. Frowning and staring at the ceiling with disbelief, I tried to figure out where I was. What’s happening?

Okay, the bedroom was very familiar to me. I was home. I was in the house of the lacerated couple, to be precise!

I sat up abruptly in bed and turned my head to the boarded window. I heard Vella’s voice. The dog was clearly fighting someone!

Finally, my brain started to work, shaking off the strange dream. Jumping to my feet, I put on my jacket and cloak and jumped into my boots. I approached the window and looked through the crack. My dog was fighting a level 13 Black Bear. Weren’t they usually level 20-21? Stop! Why are arrows flying at Vella?!

Pushing the board aside for a better view, I was able to get an answer to my question. Not far from the trees, almost on the edge of the clearing, I saw a girl dressed in a green cloak with a deep hood. She was string stretching her bow.

Apprentice Ranger Ilsa

Level 30

HP: 380/380

Yesterday my dog gained three levels and she was now level 29. I was sure she could handle a bear in a fair fight, but the archer was spoiling it.

Trying not to make any noise, I quickly pushed the boards aside, activated Blind Eye and climbed the windowsill. I knew very well that living on the second floor of an abandoned house was very dangerous. Even if the first floor was being guarded by the Bullkorg, if she the unknown enemy defeats her, all escape routes will be cut off, except for the window.
