Part 1: A Digital fantasy.
2020 May Sixth.
(Eddie's POV.)
Sigh...well time to test this out.
I look at my family. My mom , Bella , and Billy. They all sit in their computer chairs , neural Virtual Reality headsets are latched on top of their craniums. Well the Game Land Beta is launching today and luckily enough we were one of the hundred who were given keys to the beta. I take a sip of my grape soda , quickly put it down and take my neural VR headset. I sit in my own computer chair and slip on the helmet. A female computer voice talks to me as the headset boots up.
"Activating Virtual Reality...3...2...1." My vision goes a bright blue as the headset connects to Game land. Everything is now black.
"Eddie!" I hear Billy scream. I open my eyes to see Billy standing above me. His young chubby face can be seen on his player model. His blue eyes are full of excitement . He wears the game land player outfit , which itself is a green suit with the symbol of cliche controller plastered all over it. Every customer's playermodel starts out like this , I hear you can earn more outfits by completing minigames. God I hope so , this suits are kinda lame. "Come on Ed , they're about to let everyone in!" Billy screams as he pulls me up to my feet. I can see his gamertag "BILLYTHEKID114" spinning above his head. "Come on slowpoke!" Billy screams at me. He drags me to the entrance of Game land. A small crowd of players is gathered by the main gate. I look through the crowd to see a hologram male greeter standing on a pedestal.
"Hello girls and boys , welcome to the beta of Game Land!" The greeter talks with a thick country accent. He wears the blue worker suit of Game Land staff. Similar to the player suit except blue. " A VR simulation where you can talk to your favorite characters and they can talk back! It's a digital fantasy come to life folks! Also any one hankering for some for refreshments?" The hologram greeter waves his hands. A can of grape soda materializes out of a cloud of zeros and ones. It lands into his hands. He looks at the crowd. "I'll try some." a random female player says. "Here you go mam." The greeter hands the grape soda to the female player.
She drinks it , bewilderment grows on her face as she does. "Oh my god , it's like I'm actually drinking grape soda!" The female player says. "Yes folks , you see the neural VR headsets you yall are wearing allows you to feel every sensation you would expect to feel in real life while in the simulation of Game Land!" The greeter says. "Technology is a wonderful thing , is it not?" He says. "Well that's enough of me gawking!" He says. "Let's get yall to some wholesome and digital family fun!" The greeter points his right hand to the main gates. They open and everyone rushes inside. I begin to run through the crowd when I feel someone grab me from behind.
I turn to see Mom and Bella. "Eddie stay with us , you too Billy." Mom says to me and Billy. "Yes mam" Me and Billy says. "Come on , let's go inside and have some fun!" Mom says as we follow her into game land. I can see multiple players talking with each other , other staff ,and some npcs from famous video games with real life AI. Posters and holograms advertise various games , iTunes songs , and other digital media. "Man this place is amazing!" Bella says."Yeah they certainly didn't have a MMOs quite like Game Land back when you mother was growing up." Mom says to us. "Yeah , video games are so much better now!
Billy yells. "Just because modern video games have VR doesn't mean the old one that don't have it are bad." I say. "Yes Billy , Eddie's right , old games without VR can still be good." Mom says. "Hey mom , look a map , that's just what I need!" Bella says. We walk towards the giant map. It's so big , that there is actually little arrows that you click to switch between floors. On the map , we see loading zones which lead to the various video game exhibits.
"Okay , so what video game section should we visit first? Mom asks us. "Uh..." I look at the various floors and the loading zones that lead to various game exhibits. Uh , which one , which one. Zelda , Amnesia , Cry Of Fear , Grand Theft Auto , and...Five Nights At Freddys? Huh , according to this , the exhibit features npcs from all four games. Pretty cool. "Hey mom , what about the FNAF exhibit?" I ask. "Yeah FNAF , FNAF , FNAF!" Billy screams. "Uh , sure , it's about a five minute walk to there. Are you sure you want to go to that exhibit though? It's based on a horror game series . Some of you might might get scared." Mom says. "We can handle it Mom!" Billy yells. "Eddie's fourteen , Bella's twelve , and I'm eleven!" He yells , pouting crossing his arms. "Alright , alright , let's go to the FNAF exhibit." Mom says "Don't blame me if you get scared." Mom says. We make our way to the FNAF exhibit.
*A couple of hours after the first players entered Game Land*
(Logan's POV.)
"Now , now it's about time you get your presents girls and boys." Vincent juggles his bloody kitchen knife between his hands. He approaches us , a manic smile spreading across his purple face. He approaches us , blood lust in his eyes. "Now who wants to go first..." He then begins to laugh as he reaches for the first player , a little girl with brown hair about ten or so. The girl begins to cry loudly. The boy with the eyepatch and the pirate bandanna sighs. "Look you're not suppose to cry until he starts stabbing you!" The boy says , annoyed.
"No it's not that , it's just Vincent is so convincing an...and...and I'm scared that he's actually going to hurt me. !" The girl chokes out and begins to sob. Vincent lowers to one knee and places a hand on the girl's right shoulder. "No , no don't cry , it's fake , it's just a game , no one is going to hurt you sweetie. No one." Vincent says in a smooth voice "You see this knife? It has the digital properties of a blunt object , not sharp." He says. He pokes her with the knife , the knife does not harm her at all. "Poke , poke , poke , poke!" Vincent says as he pokes the girl. The girl laughs and pushes him away. "Stop it , that tickles!" The girl screams.
"Okay...what time is it?" Vincent looks at his watch. "Huh it's my break , well see you kids in a bit." Vincent says as he walks off. The two kids with me disband , to talk with the other video game characters or walk to another exhibit. Speaking of characters , the AI they have in place for the npcs are just simply amazing! I mean Vincent is walking sentient being made of code who didn't even exist in reality what so ever until a month ago , it's all just crazy when you think about it. Well I should head out of this backroom and see if I can't find anything to do. I walk out of the back room and into the main area of the FNAF exhibit. Four offices are seen , each one decorated in the style of the FNAF game they're suppose to represent , the offices also are the entrances to the four exhibits of the games. The npcs from each game are wandering around interacting with customers and staff alike. I also see screens in the wall where players can play one of the original games and maybe earn some clothing for their player model.
I walk around a bit absorbing my surroundings , looking for something to do. My eyes catch a terminal with the images of FNAF 2's menu flashing. I walk up to it and flash my Game Land computer watch , something that you can use to sign in the various tech pieces around Game Land as your game profile. "Hello LOGAN0256 would you like to continue FNAF 2 from night three?" a female computer voice asks. "Yes mam , I do want to continue from night three." I say to the terminal. The game starts up on night 3 , twelve am. Well time to show off my skill!
*Fifteen minutes later.
"Yeah! Another game beaten by LOGAN0256!" I scream as I see the paycheck floating and the words "Good Job Sport!" floating above it. "Hey lad , I see that you beat FNAF 2 , congratulations , that be a mighty accomplishment matey." I hear a feminine voice say near me. I turn to face Mangle whose player model they made a bit more polished and less wrecked then what she would actually look like in the game , to allow her to move. Yeah I guess having spider foxy wouldn't be good for business. Also crawling is not really a good method of transport. "Now that calls for a reward...wait it's you Logan, it's good to see you! Where have you been?" Mangle asks.
"Yeah , sorry dad ground me from being in Game Land with him while he coded the exhibits with his fellow workers." I say. "So he let ye off the hook today?" Mangle asks. "Yep so I wouldn't miss the public launch of the beta , ain't I lucky Mangle?" I say. "I guess you are matey." She says. "Well anyway , back to the subject of your prize. What piece of clothing do you want?" She asks. "Well how about a hook for my right hand with an eyepatch for my left eye?" I ask. "Sure thing mate." She says. She grabs my watch and waves her arm. Some green zeros and ones appear as the clock makes a couple bleeps and bloops.
"New player model clothing unlocked!" my computer watch says. I click on some buttons on the menu and a holographic inventory screen of all the clothing I unlocked is shown. I drag the hook and eyepatch to my playermodel. Zeros and ones appear over my left eye and my right hand disappears. In mere seconds my left eye is covered and my right hand becomes a right hook. "Thanks Mangle , this is pretty awesome!" I say. "It's no problem lad." Mangle says. "Well I gotta go attend to the other players Logan , see you later mate." after saying that , Mangle walks off to converse with some players.
"What now?" I say to myself , having no idea what to do now. "Well I guess I could see what Mike and Phone Guy are doing. Yeah that sounds like a plan to me." I turn around to see if I couldn't find them nearby. "Hey son." I nearly jump out of my skin when I feel someone hug me from behind , but I relax when I realize it's dad. "Hey dad." I say. "How are you enjoying Game Land so far Logan?" My Dad asks. "Great!" I yell. "Good to hear." Dad says in his all too smooth and calm voice. He lets go and I turn around to face him. My dad's player model is the typical player/staff suit , except for one difference. It's a bright purple. He has a smooth hairless face with blue eyes that peer into your soul. His hair on the top of his head is brown and shaved down. "Hey Logan I have a surprise for you!" He says with excitement. "What is it Dad?" I ask. "We have to go to the back room to see it." He says.
"A...alright." I say. I follow him through the staff break room. "Uh hey Adam , oh and hey Logan!" Vincent says as he gets up from a table. Vincent is smiling that same old psychopathic smile. "Hello...Vincent." my dad says with something close to a growl. "Hey are you okay Adam?" Vincent asks. "Yes I am , don't worry." Dad says. "Sorry I just been in a bad mood." Dad says. "Come on Logan , let's go." Dad says. "Alright Dad , see you Vincent." I say. "See you later Logan." Vincent says. Dad takes me to the back room right behind the staff break room in the FNAF exhibit. "Close your eyes Logan." I hear Dad say. I close my eyes as Dad closes the door behind us. "Okay open them in three , two ..."
I hear some digital bleeps.
"One , open those eyes!" I open my eyes and grasp. I see a golden Foxy suit in the middle of the room we find ourselves in. "Happy late birthday Logan!" Dad says. "Go ahead...put it on!" He says. "Alright Dad , thank you it must've taken forever to code!" I exclaim. "Oh nothing less for my only son." Dad says. I scan the suit and it disappears. I push a couple buttons on my computer watch and my vision is limited as the suit begins to cover my body. In a minute or so the suit covers my whole player model. "So how does it feel?" Dad asks. "Kinda tight...somethings digging in my skin." I say.
"Oh that must be the springs. Don't worry , I'll help." Dad says as he approaches me. He grabs the side of the suit. He pulls on something.
TWANG!
"...I...is that suppose to happen da..."
SNAP!
"LLLLK!" I scream out as I feel two metal rods impale my lower chin. I grab the suit head and fall to my knees. Oh god , oh god , the head set is making feel the pain for real , oh god this hurts , it hurts , I need to take o I ff the helmet , I need to...
SNAP!
"GLLLLLLLLLK! Da...he...lllllkk..." I feel gears and springs dig into my hips. I look up to see Dad smiling at me. "Don't worry son." He says. He pulls out a knife and plunges it into my neck. He slices it across. "You're finally free from this mortal coil thanks to you dear old Dad." He says to me. I feel everything begin to fade as the abyss takes me.
(Adam's POV)
Sigh...It's done. It's finally done. With almost everyone else in the past and everyone that will fall before me , I enjoyed their deaths. This...I do not. It needed to be done. You're my son and you deserve better then what this world can give you. I only pray that you find peace in the void that awaits all at the end. I...I have much work to be done now.
"I love you Logan. I love you. I love you so much." I whisper into ear of the Spring Foxy suit.
"WARNING , WARNING PLAYER LOGAN256 HAS SUFFERED CARDIAC ARREST AND IS NOW DE..."
"Command 25678: Mute." I say before the female computer watch voice can finish. It falls silent. I turn to the the door of the backroom and make my way towards it. This is the saddest part of my day...now for the fun part!
End of Part 1.
