While the people in the front lines were searching for the boss room to fight in, Shelby was in the Black Forest. He was walking around and then stopped as soon as he heard something. A girl said, "All you want is my potions so you could heal yourself."

Shelby heard that and then her guild leader said, "Oh my, and what do you plan on doing? Defy me and run away."

She said, "It's better than working with a person that doesn't care about her guildmates."

Shelby walked away and the guild master heard that and asked, "Who is there?"

The girl ran away and Shelby smiled and then the a member of the guild said, "Rosaria, Maria got away."

Rosaria grinned and said, "It was a distraction to help her escape. Leave her. She'll have to get through the Black Forest to survive."

Shelby said to himself, "Oh, they plan on leaving her to die. She was right about her not caring about her guildmates. She really is the head of the Dark Guild, Red Titan. It seems that I gotta help that little girl out."

Shelby continued to walk away. Rosaria said, "Let's go back to town. And wait to kill that wench."

While Shelby was walking in the complete opposite way from Maria, Maria gets attacked by 3 Trolls. Maria dodged there attacks for 3 minutes straight and then one of the Trolls' wooden swords hit her knife out of her hands and it vanished and then the trolls walked toward her and one of them swung at her and then Mina, her pet dragon went to help her out and got hit by the sword instead of her and protected her and Maria saw that and said, "Mina."

She crawled over to her and then lifted her up like a baby and said, "Mina."

The Trolls walked toward Maria and then Mina disappeared and her heart appeared and Maria said, "Mina."

The troll lifted its sword up and then Maria saw that and tears were coming out of her eyes and then said, "Mina."

The Troll was about to swing at her, but then the 3 Trolls vanished and she saw that and Shelby looked at her and smiled and asked, "Are you ok?"

Maria looked at him and hugged him and said, "Thank you. I really thought that I was going to die."

Shelby said, "Don't worry about it. So, what happened to your friend?"

Maria heard that and asked, "How'd you know that I had a friend?"

Shelby answered, "Let's just say that I created that distraction to help you get away from her."

Maria heard that and said, "You helped me twice."

Shelby said, "Yes. Now, what happened to your friend?"

Maria answered, "Mina died."

Shelby heard that and said, "Oh, did he drop anything before he died?"

Maria looked at the ground and crawled back to it and Shelby asked, "Are you a baby?"

Maria answered, "No, I'm actually a high school student."

Shelby smiled and appeared next to her and asked, "So what did he drop?"

Maria answered, "It's a girl."

Shelby heard that and said, "My bad."

Maria said, "It's Mina's Heart."

Shelby heard that and said, "Oh, Mina's Heart. Alrighty then. I'll help you revive her. I know a place where you can revive, Mina."

Maria heard that and said, "You know a place where we could revive her. Really?"

Shelby answered, "Yes. Well, we shouldn't just sit around here. Let's move."

They said, "OK."

They ran away and then appeared in the city and then Shelby took her to an inn and said, "We'll be getting something eat in here."

Maria said, "OK."

Rosaria appeared and said, "Oh Maria, you made it out of the Black Forest."

Maria said, "Yes, with a little help."

Rosaria said, "You got lucky today. That distraction isn't going to save you every time."

Shelby looked at her and then Rosaria asked, "Where is your pet dragon, huh? Did she leave you or something?"

Maria answered, "Mina died. But we're going to revive her tomorrow."

Rosaria heard that and asked, "Is that so? That means that you'll be heading toward the Flower Garden."

Maria heard that and said, "Yes."

Rosaria said, "You won't survive at your level."

Shelby said, "Yes she will."

Rosaria asked, "Is that so? Did she seduce you as well?"

Shelby looked at her and answered, "Not at all, I'm the one that caused the distraction."

Rosaria heard that and looked at him and Shelby said, "Peace out."

They disappeared and Rosaria saw that and said, "So fast."

Rivera appeared and said, "Long time no see, Shelby."

Shelby said, "Rivera, you own this inn correct."

Rivera answered, "Yep. You two need a room for the night correct?"

Shelby answered, "Yes."

Rivera smiled and said, "Here you go."

Shelby said, "Thank you. I'll have a Bacon Cheeseburger."

Maria said, "Ramen is good enough for me."

Rivera said, "Understood."

Maria asked, "Why did you help me?"

Shelby answered, "I don't want to see any players die. Plus, the Admin is still after my head. Well, trusting people is hard for me. But I'll enjoy this game till the very end of my life."

Maria heard that and looked at him and asked, "Are you really going to save everyone?"

Shelby smiled and Rivera said, "You better help everyone, Shelby. We all owe you for the first boss."

Shelby smiled and said, "I know that Rivera. Don't worry about a thing."

Rivera said, "You shouldn't be helping every player you see that's in trouble. You should look for the boss room with the front lines."

Shelby looked at her and said, "Oh, you forcing me to forget about this girl and go look for the boss room that moved from its former position."

Rivera heard that and Maria said, "Meaning that the Admin changed the entire game."

Shelby said, "Exactly. Making it harder for us to beat the game."

They screeched and then Shelby grinned and Rivera put their food in front of them and Shelby ate up and then went to their room and Maria said, "By the way, how do you plan on getting us to that flower that'll revive Mina?"

Shelby answered, "There is a shortcut that we could use. I'll take you there tomorrow morning."

Maria said, "I see."

Shelby said, "Get some rest. You'll need it."

Maria said, "OK."

Maria went to sleep and then Shelby sat down in a chair and waited for it to be morning. As soon as it was morning, Maria asked, "Is it morning?"

Shelby answered, "Yes, did you sleep well?"

Maria answered, "Yes. How about you?"

Shelby answered, "I slept well as well. Let's go."

Maria said, "OK."

Shelby grabbed her hand and then teleported her to the Flower Garden and they appeared by the portal and Maria said, "This is so pretty."

Shelby smiled and then a REC appeared and Shelby saw that and said, "Let's move."

Maria asked, "What is the REC doing here?"

Shelby answered, "Don't know. I don't care. I just want to help you out with your problem so I could get back out there and search for the dungeon."

Maria said, "OK."

They started moving forward and Andrew said, "Oh, the REC is back."

Chelsea heard that and asked, "What is it for? A boss battle?"

Andrew said, "Unknown."

Kazuto looked at it and then said, "Flower Garden was implemented into Golden World."

Tsuboi looked at them and asked, "Isn't this the same situation that you went through."

Kazuto answered, "Yes."

Shelby looked at Maria and looked up and grinned and Maria asked, "Is something the matter?"

Shelby answered, "No. Not at all. I'm starting to hate this Admin."

Everyone started to laugh and then they appeared by the bridge and Shelby took out a teleporter and said, "Maria, take this. It's a Teleportation Crystal. If the situation get bad, I'll tell you to teleport out of here. And you better do it because death isn't on your agenda today."

Maria smiled and said, "No it's not. Let's go."

Shelby said, "That's the spirit."

They walked away and then Maria asked, "Do you have any siblings in the real world?"

Shelby answered, "Yes. A little sister that is afraid to be alone. I'm going to make the Admin pay for trapping me in this game."

Maria said, "Please don't go into a scary rage. You are scary."

Shelby laughed and said, "I apologise."

They appeared at the end of the path and Shelby asked, "Why weren't there any enemies here? There should have been enemies here."

Maria asked, "Don't you think that it's a good thing?"

Shelby looked at the pot and said, "There it is. Grab the flower and then teleport back to town. I have a bad feeling about this."

Maria said, "Alright."

Maria appeared in front of the pot and Shelby followed and then Maria pulled the flower out and it said 'Holy Flower' and then she took the Teleportation Crystal out and then teleported to the town and then Shelby turned around and started to walk away and then was stopped by something and then started tapping it and asked, "What the hell?"

The REC appeared on the other end of the invisible door and then Kazuto said, "He's trapped. This isn't just any death game."

The room lit up and the boss appeared. While Shelby was staring at the boss, Maria appeared back in the inn and revived Mina. Maria said, "Thank you Shelby. I really appreciate you doing this for me. And I'm sorry that I left you. Please forgive me."

In the real world, Carly said, "Let the fun begin, honey."
