Chapter Twenty Eight

Player Killer

My placid smile faded into a frown. My freckles glowed the sickly yellow of fear.

“Clever. Looking like a new race? Illusion magic? Would make sense for a class calling itself a Fae. I guess you finally made it out of the dungeon, too? Congratulations are in order!” he exclaimed.

He clapped his horn into the net a few times, patronizing me. I growled.

“Was the offer real? Can you really make a person into that race, or was that just the type of trick an epic mob like you can pull off? I might consider letting you go if you help me unlock the class… and if you give me my fucking horn back.

“You’ll never get him back, Half Bold,” I taunted. “Torchlight is free. And so am I.”

“F-free!?” he scoffed. “Free she says! It’s like a pet snake, saying it’s free when it’s never even managed to get out of its cage! Hah! You don’t even know, do you? That this whole world is a game?”

I flinched. He… wasn’t the first to refer to this world, my world, as a game. Not even close. But what did that matter!? So invaders found life to be a game! Who knew what invaders got into their heads?

“Shut up! I don’t care about that!” I told him, enraged. Behind me, a fight was unfolding as Pointy Hat and Bald Fist squared off with Bellcandy and Dull Beauty.

“Well, you will. You might’ve disguised yourself as a human but you’re still a mob. Which means I can still tame you. Then you’ll tell me where my horn is, my little Jellyfae,” he breathed, his eyes brimming with gluttonous greed. “You’re my ticket to fame in this game, and fortune in the real world.”

“That didn’t go so well for you last time,” I said, holding up a hand that seemed to buzz with electric potential.

“I’ve grown since then. I’ve also learned not to underestimate mobs that can think,” he said before putting the horn to his lips.

I darted forward, hoping to tag him with a shocker before he could call forth whatever poor creature he’d imprisoned in that horn, but I moved too slow. The sound radiated throughout the woods, and suddenly the fight behind me slowed.

The ground itself suddenly split open, a gaping maw into a dark abyss swirling just a few feet away from me. I noticed it just before I might’ve stepped straight into the abyss, and leaped over it, barely avoiding a small, clawed hand that reached out of the darkness for my legs.

Ignoring the gaping pit, I rolled, stumbling a little. I scraped my knees on the ground but I didn’t stop. I continued towards Half Bold, but he had already turned and begun running away as soon as I got my bearings. Half Bold indeed.

I grimaced as searing pain sliced through my back, and a notification in the corner of my vision read -48 hp! That had never happened before. I turned and glared at the small imp clutching my back.
