~Prologue~
At exactly 4:32pm Sydney, 5:32am Cambridge, 12:32am New York and 11:32pm Chicago, Runescape was hacked.
It was only very briefly and no one could have detected it. Like movement out of the corner of your eyes no one really was sure if it happened. At these times fourteen online players were randomly chosen and infected with what would be known as 'The Glitch'.
They were disconnected simultaneously and upon logging in found something quite strange.
They were able to attack other players outside The Wilderness.
Three of these players chose not to abuse the glitch and reported it instantly. One of them walked into the next office and told her boss what had just happened. The other ten were about to make a huge profit but ultimately result in their ban from abusing the glitch and were about to attack random players.
Until the message appeared.
Eight minutes after the glitch had been discovered, every player infected had their computer screen turn black. Then writing appeared. Bold, red writing appearing sinisterly on the screen.
"The gift I have bestowed upon you is to be used cautiously. You will be able to attack players and kill them for their items. But not only that, any player killed by this glitch will not only be killed in game but die in the real world as well.
Jagex will not be able to stop this, the only way to get rid of it is to kill each player with the glitch using the glitch.
Those who do not wish to participate should click the no sign that is about to appear on your screen. Those who wish to stay will click yes.
Happy Hunting."
Eight players, all of which had desired to kill for money clicked the 'no' button, not wishing to kill. The other six clicked yes.
One was curious to see what happened.
One saw this as something to do with his life.
One saw no choice in the matter, and had to stop it as her responsibility.
One saw this as a chance for vengeance.
For two years nothing happened. Nobody was reported to have been killed outside of the wilderness and certainly nobody was killed outside of the game.
But the players were still infected. Some people complained that they were hit by what seemed to be another player, only to have a returned message from Jagex stating that it had just been a small glitch and it would be fixed momentarily.
But it couldn't be fixed. No matter what Jagex tried the glitch remained. For a while it didn't matter.
Until one player snapped.
A/N:Thats the setup for my first REAL story! I hope you all enjoyed it and the rest! Please review and GOOD NIGHT!
