Narrator

It was a struggle to get to the nearest Safe Zone. Millions of people were migrating at once and everyone was having similar side effects.

People were experiencing drug-induced psychosis from the unstable VRU Chemicals in unsafe servers. While some were getting an excess of dopamine, others were experiencing serotonin deprivation.

Y/n had to carry Hanni majority of the trip while fighting off people who were tripping out and trying to kill each other. At times, in semi-stable servers, Hanni would help. She was the VRU expert after all, but when she couldn't help... Y/n was all on their own...

- Y/N POV -

"Shields up!" I ordered.

Hanni quickly pulled her shield up and I pulled out my gun to shoot at the incoming psychos.

VRU had turned into an apocalyptic nightmare.

On most days, I wouldn't care if I was attacked in VRU. It wasn't real. But with all the instability in the platform... I couldn't afford to accidentally die while trying to take care of Hanni...

"Ahh!!" Hanni squealed as her shield cracked, yet again.

Hanni was having a hard time adjusting back to the VRU Chemicals. She wasn't off them for that long, but it was a common thing amongst any type of lifestyle change.

Fatigue was a major side effect...

And Hanni was suffering it bad.

"It's alright, you managed to create a sturdy enough shield given your state," I tried to get her to put her hands down.

Hanni had been falling asleep majority of the trip. She'd wake up occasionally and help at times. She would provide me with valuable information on how to survive, but then she'd start falling asleep or mindlessly attacking people when she tried to fight the fatigue.

I was doing my best to avoid making too many enemies during our trip. I had no idea where anyone was respawning to and I didn't want to get to the Safe Zone to see a bunch of new enemies.

*CONNECTING*

A message suddenly popped up in front of me.

"Y/n-ah," Hanni weakly mumbled into my ear.

She had been asleep on my back for the last hour, so I was surprised that she was awake.

*SAFE ZONE REACHED*

Suddenly, a portal door opened right in front of us.

"You are now entering the Safe Zone. Please have your VRU registration ready. You are now entering the Safe Zone. Please have you-"

"ARRRRRGHHHH!!!"

An announcement was playing over and over as we neared the Safe Zone entrance, when someone abruptly charged at us.

"Fuck!!" I quickly put my sword up.

Before I knew it, I was being ambushed.

"GET OUT OF HERE. WE'RE ALL PACKED!!" Someone yelled.

I was doing my best to keep Hanni up, but it was hard while trying to shoot as many shots as I could.

"Fuck this," I heard Hanni heavily breathe.

Suddenly, Hanni jumped off me and fully integrated her super sword into her wrist armor.

"So, cool!" I geeked out a bit.
