The Land of Alabahn

I

"How many times do I have to tell you, not to waste your life playing so many games?" She said while trying not to yell too loud, in fear of waking up the baby.

"Oh come on Aunt Amber, I haven't been playing for that long anyway." Ajay said.

"Like I said before, you can just call me Amber, also I need you to do your chores before I get back home." His aunt said.

"Okay, Amber." he said

After his aunt left, he went up to his room. He sat on his bed, and put on his Infinset, a top of the line virtual reality headset. He then laid down and waited. It only took a couple of minutes before the Infinset headset powered up and launched the game. As the game loaded, Ajay took a sip from his water bottle. When it finished loading, Ajay took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he was in.

Choose two classes to start. The Choices are listed below.

<One-Handed sword>

<Two-Handed Sword>

<Mage>

<Rogue>

<Axe Wielder>

<Beast Tamer>

<Archer>

<Brawler>

<Rifleman>

<Gunslinger>

<Priest>

<Alchemist>

<Gambler>

It was a tough decision. He had played a Gunslinger before but he could only choose one class when he last played. He's gonna pick Gunslinger because he had so much experience playing as a <Gunslinger>, but now he could pick two classes. He spent five minutes trying to figure out which class to pick. He finally picked <Rifleman>.

When he spawned, he looked around and said, "Welp,I'm back."

He had checked his inventory to see what he got for his weapons. He got a starter revolver, a starter rifle, 5 bandages, 5 mana potions, and grenades. He started to get out of the town where he spawned. He ran into a girl on the way out.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Are you okay?" He said.

"Yes, I'm fine. Are you?" She said laughing.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Hey you know how to play this game, right?" She asked

"Yeah, although it has been a while. I still know most of the beginner moves though." He answered.

"Well, I don't know how to play." she said shyly.

"That's alright I'll teach you. Follow me." He said with a smile. They went and found a slime. When they found one, Ajay taught her how to play, or rather attack.

"Is this how it goes?" She asked while she attempted to do the action Ajay had just showed her.

"No it's like this." He said as he showed her the moves with his rifle.

"Now you try." He replied. She swung her staff and the slime's health bar hit 0 and she cheered.

"Thank you, although I didn't get your name." she said.

"Ajay, and your name is?" He asked. Before she could tell him everyone got a live video stream on their Hud. It was the GameDev. He was dressed in a black robe and he spoke loudly.

"Hello and Welcome to the Land of Alabahn. I created this game so I could see how many people can live without their head within their electronics and help out in this new virtual world. You must cooperate with each other to clear all 1000 floors."

"Now I know what you might be thinking, How can we clear 1000 floors? It is going to be tough, but I know you will make it. Someone very special is among you. You will make it if you listen to them. They have done this before. They have cleared the game. They will be your champion." He had turned around and was walking away but then he abruptly stopped. "Oh, and before I forget, if you die in the game, the Infinset you used to play this game will kill you. It'll send an electric pulse through the headset and kill whoever is wearing it. Many players have died already. Along with many families. This is no longer a game. This is life or death, but once the game is completed you will be able to play after you beat the final boss without the current risks." He made sure everyone had the stream because some people don't read the description that games usually have.

"Now I have one more question to ask of you, shall we play the game?" The GameDev asked.
