Golden World

by tomiscomin4u

Golden World is a VRCCG (Virtual Reality Collectible Card Game) that allows you to collect cards and use them against their enemies or monsters. A man named Thomas Grapes is one of the players and his character name is Shelby. And he is one of 20,000 Beta Testers. What'll happen when everyone that logs into the game gets trapped inside and can't leave, even if they beat the game?

3. Cycorat, the Hammerhead

Yoshi said, "Everyone, it's been an hour and we all seem ready to get shitted on."

Shelby said, "Yoshi, why such a terrible statement to encourage everyone?"

Yoshi asked, "Why do you interrupt me?"

Shelby answered, "You are discouraging them."

They appeared near Shelby and Shelby screeched and Yoshi grinned and then said, "Now that you are second-in-command here, give a speech."

Wyoming asked, "Who was second-in-command before you?"

Shelby answered, "George."

Wyoming said, "I saw him get killed by one of the players."

Yoshi screeched and said, "He was PK'ed."

Shelby said, "This world went to shit."

Wyoming said, "I noticed. And we helped make the game."

Yoshi said, "And you are the reason why we're stuck here."

They heard that and said, "Nope, we only did the graphics, Rosario Studios created the game."

Wyoming smiled and then Shelby said, "You may not believe us, but that's ok. Whatever happens behind this door is because of the Administrator. Whoever he/she is, we have no choice but to fight to survive. Till the day comes and we are capable of escaping, I don't plan on dying. I hope that you don't plan on dying either, because we're going to get through this. We're going to fly through this like we never flew through a game before."

Wyoming asked, "What are you talking about? You don't even have any cards."

Shelby smiled and said, "Oh, George told you."

Wyoming asked, "How'd you know?"

Shelby answered, "I saw him going through my things when I woke up this morning."

Wyoming screeched and the hooded player said, "Foul play for a fiancee."

Wyoming said, "Alright, I asked him to kill you with your own cards."

Shelby said, "Because you didn't know who I was. Well, if he did try to kill me, you already know that he'll fail."

Wyoming said, "Shut up."

Shelby said, "She is nothing. You have two options. One, join us to complete the first Dungeon. Or two, you retreat now and no one will blame you. If you are scared, that's ok. This isn't my first time being trapped inside of a game everyone. Not my first time."

Everyone heard that and then Shelby said, "Yes, I was a survivor of the game known as SAO. And yes, I regret playing in that game for those 2 years. But I had to do something. Everyone was glad when the game ended. So we need to fight for our freedom. Let's do this."

Everyone started cheering and then Yoshi looked at him and said to himself, "He just turns negatives into positives like it was a game. This is our new reality. I guess that there isn't anything that I could do."

Shelby said, "Yoshi, let's move."

Yoshi said, "Sure thing."

Wyoming said, "You are totally different from SAO. You were yelling at the players with anger."

Shelby said, "Being trapped inside of a game is my universe. There is no escaping that fate."

The door opened and then Yoshi said, "Let's move out. As soon as the door closes everyone, get into formation."

Everyone said, "Yessir."

Evan asked, "What do you think of our situation, Shelby?"

Shelby answered, "We're in hell and there's no escape till we beat the game."

Evan said, "Oh, that's not cool."

The hooded player said, "Shit, we're all doomed then."

Wyoming smiled and said, "We've been doomed ever since we were trapped in the game yesterday."

The doors closed shut and then the lights turned on and Baby Rats jumped down from the wall and then landed around them and then Shelby said, "Keep your guard up. Get your summons out. And attack."

Yoshi said, "Yeah, what he said."

Wyoming looked at Shelby and Shelby looked at his cards and said, "Lazarus, Zombie Pit Rifle."

Lazarus, Zombie Pit Rifle is an assault rifle that shoots bullets that only affect an enemy if it hits the head of the opponent. Shelby aimed it at the Baby Rats that were at their 4 o'clock and started shooting at them and Wyoming saw that and said, "Nice. Kelpernia, Holy Pistol."

Kelpernia, Holy Pistol is a pistol that shoots out light bullets. They are very hard to hit a target unless the player's Accuracy is high enough. Wyoming started shooting at the Baby Rats at their 8 o'clock. The hooded player said, "Sebastian, Head Butler."

Sebastian, Head Butler is a human butler that works for his master and makes him/her very happy. The hooded player said, "Sebastian, attack the Baby Rats."

Sebastian said, "Yes milady."

Sebastian took off and started swinging at them and the others saw that and then the hooded player walked back and then a sword was about to hit her, but Shelby appeared and put his Lazarus there and blocked the attack and Wyoming shot the Baby Rat in the head and it vanished and Shelby said, "You always need to keep an eye on your surroundings. You could get killed."

Yoshi said, "Switch."

They started running back and forth and attacked them and Wyoming saw that and then they stopped attacking the enemy and then the Baby Rats disappeared and Yoshi said, "Can't let you have all of the fun."

Shelby smiled and then said, "You could say that again."

They shook hands and then a roar occurred and Wyoming said, "That thing is loud."

Shelby looked around and then a REC appeared and then Andrew put the tv on and said, "Here we go. The first boss."

Yoshi asked, "Where is it?"

Shelby looked at Wyoming and Wyoming said, "It seems that there is no boss."

The hooded player said, "There's a boss. We didn't get congratulated yet."

While they were searching for the boss, Kirigaya said, "Hm, the settings for the bosses changed. It seems that they were meant to die in there."

Andrew said, "I noticed that."

Tsuboi Ryoutarou asked, "What the hell is this? The boss isn't appearing."

Chelsea looked at Shelby and Yoshi said, "Shelby, I hate to say this. But we need to activate the Beta Test card that we got."

Wyoming asked, "Why hide it?"

Shelby answered, "They despise us. Just like SAO."

Yoshi said, "It's the only way."

Screams started to occur and Evan yelled, "Do something."

Shelby sighed and said, "No, I think that I got a way to do it without showing that we're Beta Testers."

Yoshi heard that and asked, "How?"

Shelby asked, "Does anyone here have a card that could sense something with a high technical setting?"

Everyone heard that and then the hooded player asked, "Why?"

Rivera appeared and answered, "Yeah. Eclipse, Crime Fighter. Why?"

Shelby answered, "Use her to find the boss."

Rivera heard that and said, "Oh, ok."

She took it out and said, "Eclipse, Crime Fighter."

Eclipse, Crime Fighter is a detective that finds the impossible that the player can't see. Eclipse appeared and then Rivera asked, "Do you see anything from out of the ordinary?"

Eclipse looked around the room and then Shelby said to himself, "If this works, we might still have a chance to fight this boss."

Eclipse pointed at the end of the room and then said, "The boss is at the other end of the room."

Shelby said, "Thank you. Disable."

Disable is a card that disables all enemy technology that they use. Shelby started running toward the boss and then everyone saw that and his hand started glowing and everyone saw that and then said, "Let's go. What are you going to do?"

Shelby answered, "It's a suicide attempt, but I need to get close to it. Rivera, I need you to tell me when to dodge."

Rivera said, "You heard him, Eclipse. Warn him."

Eclipse said, "Yes ma'am."

The hooded player looked at Shelby and then Shelby said to himself, "Kyouko is her name, huh. I find this quiet interesting. Americans, Japanese, German, French, Chinese, etc. People from all over the world are playing this game and are in this death game. This is my second death game and this one is a lot worse than the others."

Eclipse said, "Jump back."

Shelby did and then the hammer flew right in front of him and Shelby smiled and touched its arm and then the cloak disappeared and everyone saw that and started cheering and then Shelby started jumping backwards and then explosions started to occur and Shelby looked around and appeared on his feet and turned himself around and ran for his life and Yoshi said to himself, "That was never an attack from the Beta."

Wyoming said, "Very interesting. Was that an attack from the Beta?"

Rivera heard that and looked at her and then Wyoming smiled and said, "I really don't know."

Kyouko said, "It seems that you are an idiot."

Shelby appeared by them and the explosions stopped and Shelby said, "Woah, that was dangerous. But at least we know where the boss is now. Thank you."

Rivera said, "No problem."

Cycorat roared and then Yoshi looked at Shelby and said, "You really are interesting."

Kyouko asked, "Why are you willing to die for us?"

Shelby looked at her and answered, "I choose when to die and when to live. I hate this death game shit. And thanks to the Admin, this is the second time being stuck in a game. I'm tired of losing people. Plus, I want to end this already. Rosario Studios has nothing to do with this problem."

Wyoming asked, "Why do you say that?"

Shelby answered, "I was with the members of Rosario Studios and Helio Games having a drink to celebrate the launch of Golden World."

Wyoming said, "Oh, you're right. We did celebrate. But no one was missing, right?"

Shelby said, "Exactly, it was someone from the outside. Meaning a third party. Or one of the members of Helio Games were a fake."

Wyoming said, "Smart observation. But the real world can't hear you."

Shelby pointed up and Wyoming looked up and saw the REC symbol and her jaw dropped and everyone in both the game and real world started laughing and then Wyoming said, "Didn't notice that."

Shelby said, "We noticed. Let's defeat Cycorat already. Let's move."

Everyone started charging forward and then Cycorat swung his hammer and then Shelby said, "Here it...*boom*...comes."

Everyone heard the pause and Yoshi looked at the manual and looked at him and said, "Shelby, that's not Oblivion."

Kyouko asked, "What do you mean?"

Shelby sighed and then said, "Air Crack."

Air Crack is a very dangerous spell that could destroy the entire area for 13 km using a hammer. After swung, the air will crack. Shelby's hammer appeared and then Shelby said, "Move to the sides of the room everyone."

Everyone heard that and then started running and then Shelby said, "I really hope that this works."

Wyoming asked, "What is he going to try?"

Yoshi answered, "To stop the attack from splitting the room in half."

Kyouko asked, "Is that even possible?"

Yoshi answered, "Unknown."

Sebastian looked at Shelby and then Shelby swung his hammer and then stopped it in front of him and the same thing that happened when Cycorat swung his hammer occurred and then Shelby yelled, "Let's go."

Everyone looked at it and then Kyouko said, "Please work."

Eclipse said, "It'll work. The trajectory is directly toward the boss's attack. It might even surpass his attack and we get the first hit."

Rivera said, "We already lost 30 people because of the boss."

Eclipse said, "Ah, I take that back."

Rivera said, "You really are an airhead."

Eclipse laughed and said, "Sorry."

Sebastian looked at Shelby and said, "He's just standing there."

A massive explosion occurred where the two attacks met and then Shelby said, "Come on. Someone get rid of the smoke."

Evan said, "Deep Breath."

Deep Breath is a spell that allows the player to breath out a lot of air that could make anything like smoke, gas, poison, etc. away. Evan blew the smoke away and then the ground was still tearing apart in Cycorat's direction and then Cycorat jumped over to the other side and then Shelby smiled and said, "High Jump."

High Jump is a spell that allows the player to jump to high places where a normal player couldn't get to. Shelby bent his knees and then everyone saw that and then as soon as Cycorat got where Shelby wanted him, he launched himself up and said, "Destructive Spear."

Destructive Spear is a spear that would normally tear a player in half. It'll only take a huge amount of HP away from a boss though. If it was a regular monster, the monster would be defeated immediately. Shelby speared him down toward the hole in the ground and then as soon as they got close to the hole, Shelby did a backflip off of him after pushing his feet against his stomach. Everyone saw that and then everyone saw that and Cycorat fell into the hole and then Shelby landed just before the edge of the hole and then Sebastian ran out and caught him before he fell into the hole and brought him back and Shelby said, "Thank you."

Sebastian said, "No problem."

Kyouko said, "Sebastian has a mind of his own."

Shelby looked down and then Cycorat disappeared and then the Air Crack stopped and then the Dungeon went back to normal and then everyone saw that and then started cheering and then a noise appeared and the word Congratulations appeared in the sky and everyone started cheering and then Shelby smiled and said, "It worked."

Everyone ran over to him and then Wyoming stayed away and said to herself, "He knows too much. Everyone in reality knows that it Helio Games that did this to the game. Shelby must become my slave."

Shelby looked at her and his smile disappeared and Kyouko saw that and Yoshi smiled and jumped back and whispered, "Thor, God of Lightning."

Thor, God of Lightning is a God from Norse Mythology. He wields the Mjolnir, a hammer that only he could lift. Wyoming smiled and Shelby turned around and then Kyouko said, "Oh my god. What the hell?"

Shelby said, "Yoshi!"

Yoshi said, "Sorry, but you must die, Shelby."

Everyone ran away and then Thor swung at him, but Shelby stood there and put his hand out and the hammer was stopped by his hand and Thor saw that and then Shelby pushed him back and then said, "Durandal."

Durandal is the sword wielded by Roland. Shelby stabbed Thor with it and Yoshi saw that and asked, "How?"

Shelby looked at Thor and then lifted the sword up and cut him in half and Thor vanished and Shelby said, "It seems that you are working for whoever wants me dead."

Yoshi looked at him and screeched and then Shelby looked at him and Yoshi asked, "Who do you think that you are?"

Shelby answered, "A survivor of SAO. Just like Wyoming there."

Yoshi smiled and then said, "Farewell then."

Yoshi disappeared and said, "Destructive Spear."

Shelby heard that and then Shelby said, "Roundhouse Kick."

Roundhouse Kick is a physical attack that has a high capacity of taking a players head off. As soon as Yoshi got into position, Shelby kicked his head and Yoshi flew away and then Yoshi laid there and then Shelby looked at his HP bar and then saw that it was at 0 and Shelby turned his head and Yoshi said, "I'm sorry Admin. I have failed you. Farewell, my love."

Shelby looked at the REC and then shook his head and said, "I can't trust anyone. Shit."

Kyouko looked at him and Ryuuya asked, "Are you going to kill us as well? Or are you going to let us live to kill us later?"

Everyone heard that and then Wyoming looked at him and Shelby said, "Ryuuya, do you know what it feels like to kill someone?"

Ryuuya screeched and answered, "No."

Shelby said, "SAO, I was attacked by plenty of Player Killers. And I killed them. Do I regret that? No. They killed players for fun. And didn't care about anyone, but themselves. Me, I care about others. I never wanted to kill anyone. But this is a death game and Player Killers are out there waiting to hunt us down. And then there is the Admin, who has the power to kill us all with a switch of a button. Killing a player will change your world completely. And this is my second game that I'm stuck in. We need to beat this game and get home. We all have people that we need to get back to."

Ryuuya screeched and Shelby yelled, "We beat the first boss. Let's move on."

Everyone agreed and then walked out of there.
