Chapter 8: Chapter 8 – Respawning
“Adventurer, welcome to the Glimmer of Redemption.” A mechanical voice said next to her ears.
Feng mei sat up and rubbed her ears. There was no device attached to her. ‘Where is this voice coming from?’
“Who...” she shouted again.
[“Adventurer, welcome to Glimmer of Redemption.
Your character has been chosen: mage.
Your physical stats: 100
Health: 100
.....
Lives: 3
Power bar: 0
Please make sure to work hard, complete your tasks to increase your power,” the mechanical voice said and disappeared.]
Feng mei closed her eyes and analysed everything. ‘Glimmer of Redemption? Isn’t that the name of the game created by that nerd Ling? Is someone pranking me?’
“this is not fun... come out you....I’m not scared,” she shouted.
The two little blond kids trembled and sobbed loudly.
“I’m not talking about you. Please don’t cry, otherwise people will call me a bully. Hey camera man, make sure to cut this part,” she shouted and banged on the wooden walls.
There was no reply to all her shouts. “You can’t ignore me like that. This is not legal. I AM definitely suing your telecasting agency,” she shouted with regained confidence.
Suddenly there was a loud chime again.
[“Adventurer, Your first task has been issued.
Level: 1
Task: All are swimming like a swine.
Good luck,” the mechanical voice said and disappeared.]
“Yay, i am talking to you. How dare you confine me here? I am calling the cops,” Feng Mei shouted and touched her pocked. Sadly she was not in her original clothes. ‘They....changed my clothes. How dare they?”
“i am SUING you for sexual harassment. You wait...you guys are definitely going to prison,” she shouted.
Someone banged her box hard from the outside. “Stop shouting you squirt, or else ill cook you for dinner,” a menacing voice shouted.
“Oh really. We’ll see how you can do that. I am inside how can you reach out to me,” she goaded on from the inside.
The man outside growled and shouted, “what did you say you bitch? I will get you now,” he shouted and punched the box. With just a punch the box shattered into pieces.
Bright sun light almost blinded her but she was swift. She escaped his grabbing hands and rushed forwards soon she froze. She was standing in the middle of eth deck with a few of the sailors glanced at her without blinking. ‘Looks like my theory of a game show is not true. Then....” she rushed towards the highest spot and glanced out. The ship was sailing at the slow speed in the middle out unending ocean.
“Darn it,” she glanced back to find a stout man rushing after her.
“You wrench, you stand still. Or i will skin you alive,” he shouted.
Panicked, Feng mei glanced down at the floating debris that was falling off of the ship. ‘The water looks like it is not so cold. According to my visual analysis, it looks like it is at least three stories tall, if i dive, i would have a twenty percent chance of surviving the jump.’ She glanced back at the fat man rushing towards her. ‘I would definitely take my chances at sea,’ she thought and jumped aboard.
Mid air, she flipped and dived into the slightly frigid water. At first contact her hands and legs froze over, but she slowly kept them moving to keep herself afloat. Gasping she surfaced and glanced up at the huge ship. There were even huge shattered holes on back of side it. ‘This looks like it was made from cannon? But is cannons even used nowadays? i am definitely reporting them to the cops,’ she thought as she swam over to the nearby floating debris. It looked like a fallen piece of the hind side of the ship.
The fat man glanced at her and dived as well. But luck was not by his side. His weight dragged him down and his head hit the squared boards on the side of the ship.
“Serves him right.” She mumbled and chuckled. The ship moved forward without her aboard. She was finally free.
“Mrs. Feng, you better watch your back, i am coming for you,” she whispered gritting her teeth. Her hands were cold so she blew hot air on them. That’s when she noticed something weird. Her hands...they were small.
Really small, similar to that of a small child.
“What the heck? Who’s hand is this? This is not mine,” she whispered and caressed her very flat chest. “My boobs? My sexy ass, all gone.” She whispered with her eyes wide open.
“If it’s not a dream then...i was reborn,”
Suddenly the mechanical voice created a small chime. [“Adventurer, you have failed to complete your task.
Lives: (-1) remaining 2
Power: (-10) remaining -10
Health: (-50) remaining 50
Loading respawning...”]
“What the hell? What task? Don’t tell me this is all real. I am in that guy’s game!!! That basta.....” she shouted before she could finish her appeared in eth dark dingy box again.
