Mianite: A Virtual World (Discontinued Sorry)

Episode 5: Death Roulette

I woke up at Sonja's house. I had no idea how I got here or what had happened earlier. My head ached a bit and I felt like I had gotten hit by a bus.

I looked to my right there was a clock I couldn't read what it said, but its ticking noise was soothing. Tick tock tick tock. I looked to my left and saw my reflection staring back at me. It didn't look like me though.

Instead of my grey hoodie I was wearing a mahogany coloured one. My black shorts had gotten spotted red and my shoes were no longer grey, but orange and deep red. My purple hair had turned shades of red orange and yellow. And one of my blue eyes turned red. What happened to me? I thought.

You became one of them. Someone in my head said.

Who are you and how'd you get in my head? I questioned the voice.

Us gods can get into peoples heads. Dianite.

Interesting. Well can you get out of my head please so I can get on with my day. I thought.

Sure, but I'll be around if you need me. Dianite said.

I finally decided to get out of bed because I couldn't just lay there all day. I went outside and took a deep breath of fresh air. It was a beautiful day.

I walked around Sonja's house and went to go to the tree sanctuary. Once I was there I walked around looking at all the different trees. It was quite beautiful.

Not after five minutes of me being here I heard shouting and TNT exploding. I peeked over the wall and I saw an obsidian building. There were buttons and glass on one side and levers on the other.

I saw Tom, Sonja, Jordan, Tucker, and Wag there. All shouting, looking like they were having loads of fun. I jumped over the fence to go join them, but instead of jumping all the way over the fence, I decided to sit on the fence and watch from a distance. 

It looked like they were bonding as friends, as heroes. I smiled at the site of them laughing and having fun.  I don't remember anything about, well, anything, before I ended up in that jail...

Actually, I don't remember how I ended up there, but now is not the time to think about that mostly because Tom was walking up to me. They all must've noticed me because they were all staring at me. "Hey. Are, are you feeling ok?" He asked.

"Erm, I think so..." I replied. Tom gave me a questioning look, but shrugged it off. 

"Would you like to come join us in a game of Death Roulette?" He asked.

"Sure, but I don't know how to play."

"Oh, we'll explain it to you." I looked behind Tom. They were all talking and they stopped when they saw me. Jordan smiled, Tucker and Sonja waved, and Wag kinda just stood there, staring. I looked back at Tom. 

"Ok." I said.

We walked over to his friends and the obsidian building. "Hey." Tucker said.

"Are you feeling ok?" Jordan asked.

"How are you feeling?" Sonja asked. 

Again Wag just stared. 

"I'm all good." I said.

"So, Midnight here, decided to join us in our game of Death Roulette." Tom said.

"Do you know how to play?" Sonja asked. I shook my head. 

"We could play a round to show her how it's done." Tucker suggested.

"Good idea." Jordan replied. 

"I'll pull the levers and whoever wants to press the buttons go right ahead." Tom said. 

"Me! I wanna do it!" Tucker shouted. 

"Alright. Shoo!" Tom said as he pulled one of the levers. 

"Can I look now?" Tucker asked.

"Yes." Tucker walked over to the side with the buttons. 

"Which one do I pick?" I watched him decide which button to press and he pressed the one Tom had picked on the lever side. "Ah, shit..." There was a hiss of TNT and then a small explosion, just enough to startle you, but not enough to kill you.

We got a good laugh out of it. "Midnight, you want a turn?" Tucker asked.

"Sure." I replied. The game reset and I walked away a bit before Tom said to come back. There were five choices. One of the choices led to death and the others would lead me to the next round. I decided to go with the second button on the left side, because that's a random button and most likely he would not pick that one. 

Luckily I was correct. I walked away a bit until Tom said to come back. I picked the one on the very left because why not. This time I was incorrect and the TNT exploded beneath my. I was very light headed and loopy after the explosion, but it was worth it.

We  played the game until the late hours of the night. Everyone said goodbye and went back to their houses. I went with Tom because that's where I was staying until I found or made a house. Tom had made a bed in the "Hall Of Legends" (as Tom called it) as a temporary place to stay.

We say goodnight and I went up to the temple to go to bed. On each wall was a sign with a different name on it. My bed was on the other end of the temple. I laid down and fell asleep.
