Esayria: Sword Era Online

♪La Cucaracha! La Cucaracha!♪

I'm a living organism able to survive days without its head, mass extinction, and nuclear weapons. What am I?

A) Superman
B) Deadpool
C) Wolverine
D) A damn cockroach

When I was first told that, I didn't think there was an answer... like... come on! Three of the characters don't even exist and that last one is a cockroach! Anyways... surprisingly the answer was D.

The reason why it came to my mind is because me and Johnny were at the other end of Terratory fighting these insects. Getting there took three hours walking, but for us it was only an hour with speed and stamina potions.

"Do we reaaaalllyyyy have to go inside a cockroach infested area Johnny? I'd prefer somewhere less cockroachie." The place was teeming with them to the point where the whole forest ground was just a mosaic brown with little antennae swaying like tall grass in the wind.

Just seeing thousands of them is making me queasy...

Johnny slapped my back, sending me flying towards all the foot long cockroaches, "Hurry up Gavin. We don't have all day!"

There's a certain invisible barrier within the area that once you're in it, you've technically accepted the mission and all the enemies start going after your very soul. So when I stepped inside, the banner: "Now entering Cockroach Nest Enemy Lvl. 20-35." popped up.

The second that appeared, all of them, literally EVERY. SINGLE. COCKROACH. crawled my way, covered my entire body, and began nibbling the heck out of me!

Calm down Gavin. They're just virtual cockroaches! Nothing, but 1s and 0s. 1s and 0s . 1s an- I can't do this!

Before my face was covered up I yelled, "Help! *muffled sounds*"

"You know what they say Gavin. Cockroaches love trash." I barely heard Johnny say that though all the nibbling when I felt something squirm into my mouth.

"Gaaah! *pant* *pant* One went in my mouth Johnny!" I was still covered from head to toe that I'm getting legit scared right now! "Johnny! Help!"

He replied, "That's your problem, not mine!"

But it was YOUR fault!

I racked my brain for an idea until it hit me. If E=mc^2 and there are three variables in that equation, and Earth is the third planet from the sun, and plants are green, and green is a primary color of light, and red is also a primary color, and red has three letters, and fire is red, and it took me 6 hours to get this far, and cockroaches have six legs, therefore fire is the answer to kill roaches! I'm such a genius!

I somehow managed to grab onto the handle of my sword and yanked it out of its sheath. Before another one gave me a french kiss, I yelled, "IGNITE!"

Flames cover my sword and I desperately swung my sword in all directions until the annoying buggers scurried off me. "Ha! If you can't stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen."

"Umm Gavin." Johnny sounded a bit perturbed to which I glared back at him.

Can't you see I'm trying to act like a main character for once in my life?!?

I kept swaying my weapon in front of them in an attempt to scare them. "Not so tough now, eh?"

"Gavin! Cockroaches are actually attracted to heat!" As soon as he said that, I swore I heard every fiber in my body petrify.

If the swarm consisted of about 30, now the number multiplied by 100! I let out a soft and depressed "Lol..." before the mass of insects dog piled me. The weight could be compared to four Johnnies on top of you, and believe me, just one is enough.
