The Quest/Arcade Day
My name is Tyler Summer. It’s the year 4027 an I was an 18 year old high school student. Standing at 5′7, short black hair and dark blue color eyes. Living within the city of Molto-19, on the red Planet Buzzi. Who was always a big fan of video games. With my favorite of all being; The Quest. A massive virtual video game world. Mainly based on Fantasy. Which was full of players, monsters and tons of amazing quests. Who had arrived at the arcade around 6:00pm. After having dinner and washing the dishes for my mom. Who walked past a few Slimo and Reptilian aliens. Who had my game card scanned at the arcade machine and then put the helmet on after sitting down on the large soft comfortable chair. Allowing me to enter the world under my gaming account. Who was glad to be here.Within the fictional fantasy land. As I began walking around the small village. Where many players would begin. With my character dress in a simple white lace shirt, brown pants and brown shoes. While only armed with a simple knife for now. Who was just taking a short cut through a small alley. While seeing no signs of any thieves or pick pockets. Who began walking through and doing well. When something suddenly touched my left arm and felt a major shock. Causing me to scream in pain. An knew something was horribly wrong.

The Quest/Alert
As this was happening. It was back within the real world. That an alarm was going off at the tech support room. Where special staff would monitor folks using virtual gaming. While dress within light blue uniforms. Including security badges and I.D tag’s. When they noticed the alert and the 27 year old female Reptilian name Vina, standing at 5′9, light green color scales and yellow eyes spoke. Something’s wrong at The Quest game. Hearing this her co-worker a male human name Toby. Who was in their 30′s, standing at 5′6, short long hair and blue color eyes. Sitting on her right side he asked. What happen? Vina reply. I’m not sure. But we better find out. Who both rushed over there and could clearly see. That I seem to sitting there out cold. With the man trying to wake me up. While Vina began checking on the games computerize system. Who quickly spoke in confusion. This can’t be right. Hearing this he quickly reply. What can’t? Vina told him. According to this. He’s still playing the game. Toby was surprise by this news. As he now spoke. How’s that possible? Vina respond. I don’t know. For this shouldn’t be possible”. Knowing this was bad he spoke. “Try ejecting him”. She gave this a shot an reply. It’s no good. The system won’t let him out. An can’t figure out why. Troubled by this Toby spoke. Snap. I’m going to contact the E.T.T (Emergency Tech Team) and get them”. “Over here right away”. Vina replied. Good idea. For something weird is going on.

The Quest/Waking Up
Slowly opening my eyes. I began pulling myself up while feeling like I’ve touched a live electrical wire. Who asked myself while also confused. What....hit me?! As I quickly checked an could see. That I still had my coin pouch. But also my knife. Which was odd, since whoever or whatever touched me. Could have easily stole this and ran off. Yet they strangely didn’t. Who got up an noticed the second pair of tracks in the dirt. Realizing that somebody had strangely attacked me. An decided to go see one of the security guards. Dress as an armed knight in the game here.Who was 5′7 tall, short brown hair and brown color eyes. Minding their own business. Until approaching the man and told him what happened. Causing him to ask. Did you see who did this? I calmly reply. No, it happen too fast. For me to see their face. But certain they were wearing a black cloak. He understood this as I suddenly saw an employee of the arcade suddenly approach and knew this wasn’t good. As they quickly spoke. Tyler Summers. Don’t be alarmed. But something has happened.

The Quest/Bad News
Standing there I faced him an asked. What’s going on? The employee began to explain. From what we can understand. There seem to have been some sort of malfunction. Which seems to have knocked you out cold. Yet somehow your still playing the game. I was shock by this unexpected news. Along with the security guard. Who asked him. Have you contacted the E.T.T? He reply. Yes. An shall be here in less then 30 minutes. We both understood. As I asked him while looking both confused and also concern. How did this happen?The man replied. We don’t know yet. But assure you. We’ll do everything possible. To figure this out. This made me feel somewhat better. As he left an me now trying my best to stay calm. Knowing that professional help was coming. I faced the security guard and spoke. If you’ll....excuse me. I’m going for a walk. Who started walking west of the village. While trying very hard not think about this. When there seem to be commotion going off. Causing players to start fleeing towards my direction. Who wasn’t sure why they were running. Until spotting trouble straight ahead.
TO BE CONTINUE....!
The Quest/Village Raid
Looking straight ahead I could see it was a group of seven armed bandits. That were attacking the village and stealing whatever they could grab. Which made no sense. Since villages were safe zone for players. An couldn’t be attacked by bandits or monsters. Yet it was happening right before my very own eyes. As one of the armed men wielding a broadsword in their right hand, standing at 5′7, dress in brown an white clothing like myself. He began swinging the sword at me. Who dodged it three times before using my knife. To defend myself an sliced the man’s neck. Causing them to quickly die. With me now grabbing their sword and stuck fighting off another armed bandit.Just as two security guards with shields rushed over to assist. Causing the bandits to flee. As I took out the one attacking me. An glad it was over. But also confused as well. With the same guard from earlier spoke to me. Nice sword skills. I reply. You picked up the coin pouch belonging to the bandit and spoke. Keep it. Along with the sword. For you’ve earned it. I thanked him. While also growing curious to start looking for whoever was in that alleyway.

The Quest/The Stranger
Growing curious about whoever had bumped into me within the short alleyway. I decided to start asking fellow players. If they’ve anyone odd go into that alley earlier ago. But wasn’t having much luck for a little while. Until asking this 16 year old girl, standing at 5′6, wearing a blue cloak, long brown hair and purple color eyes. She faced me an began telling me. I saw this suspicious guy. Dress within a black cloak, stood at 5′9 and wearing what looked a silver wolf mask. Had gone into that alley. Long before those bandits appeared”. From the description she was giving me. The stranger was either playing as a thief or an assassin character within the game here. Who now asked her. Which way did they go? She spoke. At first, it seem like he was heading west. But when those bandits appeared. An made everyone start to panic. I lost sight of him. This was clearly bad. Since whoever she saw. Could have gone in any direction. Putting me back to square one. On who had zapped me? An if they were somehow involved. With what’s happening to me now?

The Quest/Emergency
As I began my personal search through the village. It was back within the real world, mainly in the arcade. That six team members of the E.T.T had arrived and began carefully examining the machine. After getting everyone else to log out an step away from it. For their own safety. Who looked through the data, but also the outside. To make sure this machine hasn’t been tampered. When one of the woman name Sofia Cross. Who was 33 years old, stood at 5′6, long blond hair and dark blue color eyes. Noticed something while using her right arm computer device an spoke. I’ve found something. Curious one of the men a Slimo name Boric Cybers,27 years old and stood at 5′8 asked. What did you find? She told him. “It seems the helmet system. Has been exposed to some sort of strange virus. One in fact I’ve not scene in three years. Surprised by this one of the other human women Dr. Tori Sander, 36 years old, stood at 5′7, short black hair and light brown color eyes asked. Is it possible to remove the helmet? Sofia replied. No, if we do that. It will cause major serious brain damage. An either throw him into a coma or far worse. Troubled by this the male Reptilian, standing at 5′9 and dress within his uniform. Stood there near the group an now asked. So in other words. He’s literally stuck, inside the game.

The Quest/Virus
Alarmed by this terrible news. The Reptilian leader name Divot assembled an urgent meeting within the staff coffee room. Where he stood there at the front part of the table and asked her. So if we can’t remove Tyler from the machine. Without risking his life. Then how exactly do we get him out? This was a great question. Which made Sofia answer him. There’s only two ways. To save the boys life. Either find whoever infected him with this virus. That or he must somehow complete the game. Surprised by this he spoke. Exactly how does this help Tyler? She told the group. It’s simple. The virus was clearly programmed.To trap the boy inside the game. So if he beats it. The game will have to eject him. An thus be saved. The entire group was troubled by this. Since they’ve heard lot’s of talk about this game. An the massive size of it. Which wasn’t going to be easy. Who listen to Boric speak. I’ll not lie. Telling Tyler this won’t be simple. An have no clue. How he might react to this. They knew this was true. As Divot now spoke. Let’s first figure out a way. To break this sad news. Then find a way to help from here. The entire group agreed an began working on this right away.

The Quest/Beast Hunt
While all of this was going on. It was back inside the gam that I took on a job, involving some wolves that been lurking around the Inn outside the village to the east. With me boldly heading out there and soon found the beasts. Feasting on what used to be a deer. But now only a corpse laying on the grass. With me drawing my blade as they began growling at me. With blood on their faces they began attacking. With me quickly slashing one of them dead. Who then took on the others. While also dodging their teeth an claws. Killing each of these beasts until they were all dead. That’s when I touched each of the wolves. Who vanish an collected their fur, meat and bones. With me then heading back to the village where I was rewarded. But also had some meat to cook. But wasn’t sure what to do with the bones. As I quickly checked my player level and had reach Level 3. Which made me happy. Since I’m able to now choose one of four character choices. When this blond women dress within an E.T.T uniform showed up an spoke. While looking very concerned. Tyler, we’ve got to talk.

Shocked by this horrible news I sat down on the ground. As she faced me an spoke. I’m so terribly sorry. You had to learn this. Who watched me slowly try to speak. Is there....anything. Your team....can help? Sofia replied back. We’re going to do our very best. To find whoever did this. I believed this as I kept sitting there. With lot’s of folks looking at us. Unsure of what was going on. As she asked me. Tyler, I know this is a really hard time.For me to ask you this. But....did you see or touch anything strange? While playing the game? That’s when it hit me and spoke. Yes, this male cloak stranger. Wearing a silver wolf mask. Had bumped into me and then felt zapped. By a bolt of electricity. Hearing this she asked. Do you know where they are? I replied. Sadly no. For they left the village. As it was attacked by bandits. Understanding this Sofia now spoke. Rest assure you. We’ll find this man. An deal with them. Who now heard me speak. Well so shall I. For he’s trapped me in this world. An getting myself some personal justice. As I stormed off towards the three special tents.

With me closely looking at them. Until deciding to go with Warrior. Who stepped into the tent an soon came out. Dress in thick brown pants, fur boots and simple shirt. While still armed with my sword an knife. Who began heading towards the west end of the village. When Sofia rushed over and began speaking to me. Listen Tyler. I understand you want revenge. For what this mystery man has done. But chasing after them isn’t the option. Facing her I reply. Maybe for you Sofia. But consider this. What happens if he affects another player? Yet alone a whole group of them. For he’s practically a walking plague. What I said was both alarming and concerning as well. Who also saw me leave the village alone. An began my quest for justice.
