The Real Virtuality

Death mechanism

Things has been going quite smoothly for a few days, just the normal stuff, we would play some calm games and laugh. Of course they still had lives out of vrchat so I was either alone or with one of them. I was hanging out with my brother in the early morning while everyone was asleep or busy.

"Brother, I want to be able to play murder with you all again, I think I'm ready to test how death works for me" I said. He got hesitant "you sure? We need to get someone else tho because the game only works with 3 players." I thought a bit looking through my phone "oh! Uncle grem is on!" I smiled as I invited him over.
When they arrived we explained to him about how I wanted to test the pain and death in games.

We got into a murder 4 game and booted it. At this point I was already used to the teleport system. I spawned with sleepy in the main area, I was a bystander which means sleepy was it. Grem joined us downstairs as sleepy took the knife "are you sure you're ready?" I nodded "all you need is to stab me once right? Just stab my hand and we'll see" I took my courage as I held my hand out. Sleepy took a breathing and quickly stabbed my hand. God that felt like a big ass needle piercing through my hand, I screamed in pain and fell backward as I was teleported back to the lobby.

The game soon ended probably because grem immediately shot sleepy. They both rushed to me to see if I was okay "y-yea yea I'm okay!" I reassured and looked at my hand, it was bleeding but it seemed to be closing up after a few minutes. Grem smiled "well, atleast it heals up immediately! And we know that you just respawn like us" I nodded happily. We played another round and this time I was the murderer. We decided to play a normal round this time as I was chasing down grem with the knife "grEeeMmm! Come hereeee" I teased happily. I was about to reach him before sleepy popped out of the corner with the gun in hand and my heart stopped as he pulled the trigger right to my head.

Everything went dark. Usually when you get killed it goes dark for a second and you reappear back at the lobby, like last time. But right now, it's just dark...for too long...what was happening? I couldn't move my body nor speak, I know I was conscious, I could hear voices, the voices of sleepy and grem calling for me. I'm still here! Can't you hear me!? I wanted to say. My head hurt but I was alive for sure.

Minutes passed and passed. I could hear new sound and movements. I felt a hand on my head as another voice spoke, was it my mothers..?  I want to say something so bad! Just say I'm okay! I can hear their cries. I was trying my hardest to move. "H-her hand twitched! She's okay!" I heard grem exclaimed. I was glad, I kept moving my hands, seems like it was the only thing I could do. They were asking so many questions but when they asked if I was okay I slowly did a thumbs up.

They stayed around with me until I was slowly regaining control of my body. Nez joined us soon and chuckled before he was asking funny and stupid questions. It made me laugh and they got excited. Half an hour later I got access back to my vision as I gasped sitting up in joy "I'm back!" They all hugged me "finaly! You've been like this for like 2 hours!! Sleepy exclaimed. "What the fuck happened!?" Jaz said looking at sleepy who nervously looked away "wellllll"

She sighed "just be thankful she's okay, and that your grandfather wasn't here because you'd lose your head" she joked.
Sleepy laughed "I aren't scared of granddaddy" he scoffed. A voice behind him appeared "and why would you be scared of me?" He screamed and ran off "grandpa!" I got up too quickly and fell back down to my knees "careful hun, you just healed back up" jaz helped me. Lost then frowned "healed? What did I miss." He got concerned.

Grem explained to him how we were testing out the death mechanism for me and that sleepy got carried away and shoot me directly in the head. He got up looking over to sleepy who was hiding behind a corner and immediately ran at him "COME HERE BOY"
I laughed hearing sleepy screaming and pleading.
