New Life Online Fanfiction: Gun Meets Sword

Chapter 7: Do we have a deal?

(P.S the media is a joke video I found made by Piemations, enjoy!)

Aurora's pov

What happened? I'm pretty sure I saw the death screen, but....I'm still in game? I woke up, and found myself in a room with red carpets and a window in the shape of a triangle with an eye. Wait, Bill? I then heard a piano playing behind me. I turned around and there he was playing an unknown song. "Bill!" I walked to him but my ankle was chained to the floor. I reached for my weapon but..everything was gone. "Oh, you woke up. Welcome to the penthouse suite, kid! Take a seat, I've got an offer for ya you can't refuse." I sat down on a nearby couch. He pushed the piano away and said "Now then, oh, you know that couch is made from human skin, right?" I looked down and saw an eyeball in it. I jumped up. "Haha! THAT never gets old!" "Cut to the chase!" I was very annoyed at this point. "Okay, here's the deal. I'm not actually made to be in a game. I am a real-life demon trapped here. And I need your help to get back to the real world." "How could I help?" "All I need to do is take over the mind of a player and log out using their body and I'm out of the game. That's where you come in." His eye started flashing images into the air like holograms. "If you let me into the real world, I can control everything! I can control matter, space, and just recently, time itself! Can you imagine if that were to happen in the real world?" The hologram showed Bill as big as the world, taking a bite out of it and the civilians tortured by ugly monsters. "Can you believe this almost happened years ago?" "What? No, you lie!" "Oh, I don't" The hologram disappeared. "I was going to take over the universe a long time ago, but then my helper-human betrayed me and erased me. Can you imagine being literally nowhere? So boring. But now I'm here. If you help me, I'll make you a god!" "You're insane if you think I'll help you!" "I'm insane either way! No matter, it's only a matter of time." THat's it. "CHRONOS TIME STOP!" What? nothing happened! "CHONOS TIME STOP" "Hahaha. You think I didn't plan that? I took your soul stone before bringing you here. Oh, and don't try logging out. It might end very badly for you." "What do you mean?!" I was really panicking at this point, but what he said next was just insane! "I rigged your virtual reality helmet to blow up if you log out before accepting! If you leave, your head will be splattered over the walls! Hahaha!" "No! You're bluffing!" "You really think?" The hologram thing happened again. It was Akko!

"Hello, and welcome to What's new in NLO! We have just received word from the developers. They aid that there was no meaning to input any being called Bill Cipher into the game. All players are advised to log out now to give the makers room to investigate. We're sorry to say that for now, New Life Online is offline. Goodbye."

The playback ended. Bill spoke again. Don't you find it weird your still in-game all this time? Even though the game is supposed to be shut down for investigating?" No. It can't be real...it can't be.. "And in case your still doubting-" Another news feed. This time a real-world newsperson. "This just in, there have been multiple cases of children and adults heads exploding after logging out of a game NLO. Not everyone has been affected, but we are suspecting at least 5 deaths. Developers are under heavy questioning-" Bill stopped the hologram and spoke again. "So you see, I can do that if you log out. So you're stuck here. And until you shake my hand and agree to the deal, you will have to endear eternal torture!" "GAAH!" A new chain appeared out of the wall and started choking me, then I felt electricity spurting into my entire body! "Wait, what?...... Hold on, got an intruder to deal with. You stay here. I got gamers to make into corpses." He teleported away and left me here, getting shocked. Someone.....please help me...

Wow, Bill is EVIL! Sorry all you Aurora fans, but don't worry. Heroes will arise. I still hope you enjoyed the chapter and don't hate me too much. Goodbye! (P.S. I'm still accepting character ideas. :)
