Ch. 5 Floor 14

{Rui's Point of View}

-June 10th, 2041-

[Floor 10 - Raguil]

I was meeting the other top players since we were about to raid the boss room. Vulthurin crouched in a dark corner, watching us through a Giratina mask he created for his Guild. EeveeTheImmortal had his arms crossed, staring at a holomap on top of the table we all surrounded. JustinThePokemonMaster stared at the screen for a long while before snapping his fingers.

He slammed a hand down, "That's it! We'll lure him into the town! Once here, he'll be too busy killing NPC's to notice us."

EeveeTheImmortal agreed, "I think that's a great idea!"

I flinched, "We can't do that!"

Justin looked at me, "Why not?"

I sighed, "That town may not be a safe zone but it has the best shops and quests on this floor."

Justin shrugged, "Oh well, floor 11 will have better stuff."

I shook my head, "That's not the point! What about the other players?"

Vulthurin grunted, "Who cares about those noobs or the fuckin' NPC's? I say we get this over with, my daggers are ready and I'm itching to purify the land with sacred blood."

EeveeTheImmortal didn't look convinced so I asked him, "What do you really think Scott?"

Scott bit his lip, sighing before turning his head, "I truly think it's a great plan, despite the casualties."

I looked down, shaking my head no, "I'm sorry. I can't go through with this plan."

I started making my way out of the group as a player began yelling at me, "So you're going to just leave!? Boy, what the hell is wrong with you!? It's either a fake person's life or a real one's! Which is more important!?"

I never answered that, I just left the room in silence.

I sat at a desk in my inn room on floor 14, wondering what I should do next. After floor 10, the other top players have completely ignored me. The destruction they left on that floor still affects it. The boss wasn't easy, in fact, it took several days to beat it. It was a Giant Muk, a Muk created by thousands of Muks coming together. It's smell and toxic body poisoned the land so badly, the floor is literally abandoned. Nothing can live there now and it's all their fault.

I groaned to myself, "What will we do now? That floor had the only berry farm available. There has to be a way to fix it..."

A knock on my door interrupted me, "Hey, I need your help!" A voice yelled.

I responded, "I'm busy moping, can you come back never?"

The voice yelled, "It's urgent man. There's a murder guild on the lower floors."

I groaned, leaning back, "That sounds like it's not my problem."

The guy hit my door, "Please man! They're kidnapping female players!"

I started whistling, "I can't hear you!"

The guy groaned, "I'll pay you!"

I shrugged, "Not interested."

He punched the door, "You selfish bastard! What if they try to kill your friends like they did mine!?"

"..." I got up and opened the door, "What the hell is going on?"

[Floor 5 - Main Town of Kabba]

I appeared in the town square after using a teleport crystal. The town seemed a bit deserted except graffiti of skulls littered the area. I looked around, trying to find someone to talk to but only saw a group of players approaching me. They wore all black, trying to look and act like Gangsters. They wore a bandana, hoodie, and silver necklace of a skull.

One of the grunts said to me, "Yo, yo, yo! You gotta pay team skull 50k if you wanna roam free or else we'll kick your ass."

I snickered a bit, "Some lowly grunt is trying to make me pay? You must be an idiot."

The grunt jumped back, "Yo, you best cool it brah, because our boss man is in tight with Reaper. He may tell our boss what to do, but he looks out for us little guys too."

I glared at him, 'So that bastard is here... what to do..?' I sighed, "Care to take this outside the city? I'd be happy to rearrange those polygons you call a face."

The grunt got mad, "You stinkin' kid! I'mma whoop yo ass like ya mother should have!"

I chuckled, "I'm going to give you a dictionary like YOUR mother should've."

One of the punk girls stomped her left foot, "You are, like, so rude! We'll all stomp you to the floor."

I shook my head, "Trust me, if we fight, you're all dead. Second, we're in a safe zone, you can't touch me."

The grunt snickered, "Heh heh, that's what you think. Doom card, activate!"

I flinched, "Doom card?"

A thin black card appeared between his middle and index finger, "Set!"

He tossed it to the floor, piercing it before it submerged. I noticed a shift in the air as my health bar had a skull indicator.

A female voice spoke, "Warning, doom card has been activated. The town's safe zone properties has been neutralized for the next 8 hours."

I glanced at them, taking out my sword, "So this is how you murdered everyone."

One of the skull grunts scoffed, "Murdered? Bro there ain't no effin' proof dying in this game will kill us in real life."

I smirked, "Oh?" In a blink, I was behind him, my sword at his throat, "Then let's find out."

I kicked his back, forcing my blade to cut his head off. The scrub was only level 12, how dare he act tough in a group.

I turned my attention to the others, "Does anyone else want to die?"

A grunt charged at me, "You bastard!"

He tried to swipe downward but I pushed it aside with my left hand, "You call that an attack?" I got in his face, grabbing his neck, "Where's the power?"

A girl behind me, stabbed my back repeatedly, "I got you."

My heaoth bar kept regenerating, so I laughed, "While you're back there, give me a massage, that'll do more damage."

She jumped back, "What... what are you!?"

I tossed the dumbass weak grunt onto his back, "My name is Murloc_Rampage, the solo swordsman."

The girl flinched, "I've heard of you... you're one of the top players!"

I bowed mockingly, "A pleasure to make your acquaintance."

The grunt I choked got up, "There's no way he's a top player! A top player would never come here ya fool!"

He ran at me, swinging his sword as I sighed, "Idiot."

I made our sword clash, shattering his, "H-how?" he stammered in shock.

I raised a brow, punching him in the gut, "How? It's quite simple. I'm level 47." Everyone gasped, "I have 33,700 hp, with 850 hp regen every ten seconds. I could stand here all day and you'd still be unable to beat me."

They all looked at each other for a moment before running away, "We have to tell the boss!"

I watched them run like cowards until I heard something behind me. When I turned, a Scythe almost hit me but I blocked it. Reaper sneered in my face, trying to overpower me, but I overpowered him instead.

I kicked him in the stomach before committing a spinslash. He jumped back, holding his Scythe outwards before standing straight.

He seemed to snicker, "So it is you... the one Silvia likes."

I flinched, "What do you know of her?"

He chuckled darkly, "What don't I know about her is a better question. That Succubus has been stealing my fun for months."

I glared at him, exerting my pressure, "Don't call her a Succubus!"

He tilted his head, "Ooh, do you like her?"

I blushed hard, "What!? Eeeew! No!"

Reaper ran a finger along his Scythe, "Silvia is a very special pokemon, her AI is quite... flexible. She travels between floors to fulfill revenge requests."

I raised a brow, "What are those?"

Reaper smirked, "They're mission for NPC's to kill players."

I went my eyes widen, "Why!?"

Reaper chuckled darkly, "Why else? To get revenge when that player wronged an NPC."

I remembered Silvia's words, 'Don't get involved with me, you won't like what you find.'

Reaper continued, "Players need to be punished for their actions. In this world, two wrongs make a right."

I half frowned, "I guess murdering my friend counts as a right to you."

Reaper shook his head, "Rui... Rui... Rui... can I call you Rui?"

I answered, "No."

Reaper snickered, "For you see Rui, I am designed to be a monster, and there are many reasons I can fit in a crowd. After all," He took off his mask, revealing Carly's face, "I steal the souls of those I kill."

I stared at Carly's face in shock, "You..."

It laughed in Carly's voice, "I can see all her memories and boy did she like you."

I felt a pang in my heart, "What?"

Reaper laughed into his hand, "The day before she died, she used literally every piece of gold to buy an item for you. She believed in you, but you failed her."

I got angry, "Shut up!"

Reaper wouldn't stop, "As she fought me, she was convinced you'd rescue her. Of course, you never did so she gave up on you. That's why she wanted to die, you failed to give her the feeling of safety."

I closed my eyes, a tear escaping from my left eye, "I'm going to kill you."

Reaper laughed, putting his mask on, "You're too weak to kill me."

I shook my head, "My detection skill can see you now, you're level 47."

Reaper grinned, "That has to be higher."

I shook my head again, "I'm level 47 as well. Killing players gives you no exp, making you weaker."

Reaper clenched his scythe, "So... you know about that."

I readied my sword, "It's the reason you avoided the top players since floor 5."

Reaper opened a menu, "I think we'll have to save our fight for another time."

I yelled, "Embargo!"

Reaper flinched, "What!?"

His menu closed, making me smirk, "Yeah, it's just you and me Reaper. No health potions. No steroids. No teleportation crystals. One of us is dying today."

Reaper breathed heavily, "You insignificant worm... I should have killed you that day."

I smiled, tilting my head, "Well, it sucks to be you."

Reaper reeled his scythe before swiping the air, "Cleave!"

I swiped my sword, cutting the attack apart as he rushed me. He jumped over me, trying to re-use that spin move he did on me. As he spun, I caught the staff of his Scythe and grabbed his cloak. With an aggressive tug, I threw him down to the ground. His scythe disappeared, reappearing in his hand.

I raised a brow, looking at my sword, 'That'd be very interesting to use...'

Reaper looked at me, angrily getting up, "What are you thinking about?" he demanded.

I stayed silent, twirling my sword for a bit before resting it on my shoulder. The blade began to glow green as I leaned forward.

Reaper's Scythe began to glow red with a black haze, "Dark Void Slash!"

I grinned, "That won't work."

I cut the attack in half, destroying the dark void effect. Reaper attacked me in a bitter battle, my weapon clashed his, outclassing it with speed, however, he has reach. On some attacks I almost overextend and leave myself open for assault. He took the opportunity, hitting my arm with the blade of his scythe, and causing me to hit the ground. I rolled to my hands and knees, getting up. Reaper raised his Scythe, trying to impale me with it but I ran forward. As I passed by him, I cut into his right side with my sword. He turned to me, our health both at about 70%. Reaper looked up as it began to rain and sighed. His scythe began to shift, transforming into a black and red bladed sword, mirroring the design of mine.

Reaper took the mask off again and tossed it aside, "When I kill you, I'm going to enjoy parading around the floors as you."

He had Carly's face again but I didn't care, "Only if you win."

We ran at each other full sprint, sword clashing, feet kicking, combos flowing. His class did everything it could to match mine and did.

We crossed our swords, pushing against each other but I started pushing him back, "You're... strong."

I shrugged, "Of course I am, I train every day to increase my swordsmanship."

I pushed up, knocking his sword back and kicked him in the stomach. He back rolled, dodging a jumping slash as I continued my assault. Reaper jumped to his feet, clashing his sword against mine until I swept his feet. On his back, I tried to impale him but he pushed my sword to the sword. I jumped back to avoid a counter and watched him get up.

I focused my energy, "X-Scissor!"

I ran forward, my blade glowing green as I watched his motions slow down. I jump up, slashing upwards then spun, turned, and jumped again to slash a complete X. I swiped my sword as the move ended and a white X slashed him.

"Aargh!" He yelled, going down to 35% as I was at 65%.

"Shadow Sneak!" He yelled.

I turned to look at him, "Hm?"

I only felt a slash on my back as I fell to one knee, my health dropping to 40%. I felt stunned for a moment, clenching my sword's handle. Reaper kicked my hand, knocking my sword away.

He raised his sword, "It's over!"

I quickly turned my body, grabbing the blade to push it aside. It cut my thumb and finger off, but I didn't care.

I yelled, "This is for Carly!" I had a dagger materialize and stabbed him in the throat.

Reaper stared at me in shock, "This dagger..?"

I glared at him, "Yes... this is Carly's dagger. With my level and skill, it's as deadly as any other dagger."

I gripped his right wrist to keep his sword at bay as I ripped out the dagger and tried to stab him. His health is at 8% as his left wrist desperately tried to stop me. With my strength, I forced him onto his back and pushed down.

He imitated Carly's voice, "Please don't kill me Rui!"

I screamed, "Fuck you! Carly is dead!"

I stabbed the mother fucker right through his eye, "You... won..."

I watched his health bar drop to zero and his entire body shattered. I was in shock... I finally did it! I killed Reaper! Yet... why do I feel so empty?

"Thank you." I heard Carly whisper.

I turned to see her ghost smiling at me, "C-Carly? Is that really you?"

She smiled at me, crying, "Opah!"

I stared at her, suddenly bursting into tears, "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you!"

Carly smiled at me, waving, "Thank you Rui... you freed me."

I smiled, still crying as she finally disappeared. A black item appeared where Reaper died and forced itself into my inventory.

A screen popped up, "Dark's Bandana has been obtained and merged with Dark's Sweater... Warning. Quarantine is recommended for these items. Would you like to quarantine them now?"

A yes or no screen appeared, "Quarantine? Okay, can't I just sell or drop these items?"

A large exclamation point appeared, "Warning, unique items cannot be sold, dropped, or traded. Would you like to Quarantine?"

I hit the yes, looking around, "Well... that's settled. The Skull deadbeats are going to be in hiding now..."

I received a message from a player called MangledReef, "Rui, I need your help. You owe me one from floor 7 and I desperately need a favor! Please come to floor 14!"

I placed my hands in my pockets, groaning, "What am I? Everyone's errand boy?"

[Floor 14 - Outskirts]

I appeared in a tiny village on Floor 14, with the floors slowly getting bigger, more teleportation zones are being placed. I opened my map, drinking a health potion as I scanned the floor.

I noted his location quickly, "He's near that Sacred Forest. There's no enemy pokemon there... except..."

I noticed a red dot appear near him and it chased his green dot. Without a second to lose, I began heading towards that location, using my Speed Boost Ability. It only took me an hour to reach him but I was surprised to find him hunted by an NPC. In the pit of my stomach, I knew exactly who it was going to be. Only She would would hunt down these high leveled players. I stayed back, eyeing the area for any sign of her but Mangle came into view first. He laid his back against a tree, panting hard as he tried to hide. I hid as well, crouching down to let the bushes hide me. Silvia's dot suddenly disappeared, causing me some alarm. Mangle looked around, taking out his sledgehammer.

He spun in circles, trying to spot her, his health at 40%, "Where are you!?" he called out in frustration.

I didn't even get to blink as Silvia fell from above, her Rapier in hand, "Hiya!"

He never say it coming as she stabbed into the back of his left shoulder. The force dropped him to the ground, her rapier nailing him to the ground. I stood up, wondering if it was over, instead, I saw him look at her face in terror.

"N-no!" he cried.

I heard a loud bone chilling chomp, followed by the ear shattering screeches. When they died down, I heard loud sickening slurps as if she was drinking something. I peeked, trying to see, only to get a glimpse of her sucking blood from the back of his neck. I shivered, realizing his health was at 0% but he didn't shatter. Feeble grunts escaped his lips, a hand shaking before slumping. Silvia pulled back, black demonic wings stetching out from her back as she let out a blood curling shriek. His body finally shattered only after she finished feasting.

I stumbled back in fear, watching her wipe her bloody lips, 'She's... she's a monster! I've got to get out of here!'

I turned to start running, only to get her attention, "Don't you dare run!" Silvia yelled.

I suddenly froze, unable to move my body, 'M...m-move! Legs... move!'

I heard Silvia approach me from behind, promptly getting in front of me before snapping her fingers. I suddenly fell forward as control over my body returned. I quickly get up, backing away from her. Her evil Dark Crimson eyes pierced me as her wings folded to lay flat down her back.

Silvia placed a hand on her hip, smirking, "What are you doing here?"

I looked away, "My friend called me for help..."

Silvia looked past me for a moment before crossing her arms under her chest, "Sorry about that, but he's dead."

I swallowed hard, "I-I saw."

Silvia looked aside sadly, "Quite... terrifying... right?"

I nodded quickly, "Y-yeah."

I noticed she was level 97 now, "He murdered an entire village of NPC's on the 6th floor. I've been hunting him for a few weeks."

I scratched the back of my head nervously, "I didn't know that."

Silvia eyed me, smiling, "We just seem to keep meeting up. I can't believe someone killed Reaper."

I flinched, "You know he's dead?"

Silvia smirked, "Of course I know, he was on my friends list."

I stared at her in shock, 'They have friends lists?' I shook my head, "I'm... sorry."

Silvia pressed a finger to her lip, giggling, "So it was you who killed him."

I flinched, "Oh shit..."

Silvia grinned, a sharp tooth showing, "Embargo."

A menu appeared, "Items have been disabled."

I looked at Silvia as she began to approach me, "You're not teleporting away. I warned you to stay away from me."

I pulled my sword out, "Stay back!"

Silvia grinned, "No."

I attacked her, slashing her mercilessly but I didn't do any damage. She easily smacked my armed hand, forcing my sword into a nearby tree. I looked at it until she grabbed my shirt and picked me up.

I thought back to those grunts, how I felt so superior to them and now... I'm quaking in my boots, "L-Let me go."

Silvia grinned, pushing me back into a tree, "Let you go?" I nodded, "I can do that, but you need to submit to me first."

I shivered, "Submit? As in... servitude?"

Silvia stood over me, easily being 5 foot 6 compared to my 4 foot 10, "Mmmmm, yeah."

She pressed her breasts and shard against my neck, "Uh... why not just let me go?"

Silvia leaned her head down to press her forehead against mine, "How could I simply let you go after killing my friend?"

I felt her lick my neck, it felt tingly and slimy, causing a nervous blush, "He... he murdered my friend."

Silvia grinned, giving me a harsh lesson, "Revenge is an endless hateful cycle Rui. You can't expect everyone to just forgive and forget." She licked up my cheek to my ear and whispered, "Unequip your armor."

I quivered a bit, "W-Why?"

She had the tip of her Rapier poking my chin, making me look up, "You don't want to die right?"

I noticed my health dropped to 40% instantly just from a poke, I sniffled my response, "No..."

My eyes went wide when she connected our lips so aggressively, then pulled back, "Do what I say and you'll get to go home. Now... open your menu."

I shivered, but refused, "No."

Silvia smiled at that, "Yeah... you're going to be a fighter. My favorite~"

Using thunderwave, Silvia completely paralyzed me, "Ouch."

Silvia grinned, letting my body slump to a sitting position, "Now that you can't move, I can easily make you bring up your menu."

She sat cross-legged, making me sit on her lap. Her breasts and shard rubbed my back as she grabbed my other hand; she turned my head to force us in a kiss. She raised my index finger to activate the menu and scrolled to equipment.

Silvia bit my shoulder, getting my health to 5%, "There, now you can't fight even if you want to after the paralysis is gone."

My armor disappeared, leaving me in just a T-shirt and shorts, "S-stop." I whimpered.

Silvia chuckled darkly in my ear, "I warned you about me and adult pokemon. Don't worry... I'm teaching you a very important lesson."

She made me turn my clothes off as well, leaving me in just boxers as she began rubbing my stomach, "Don't touch me there..." I whispered.

She kissed my head, "I have you at my mercy, stay silent, it'll be over soon~"

(I decided to be nice and give you all this gift. Thanks for reading guys, please review, favorite and follow.)
