*Right, Ill let you know, seeya around* he says, opening his own menu as you open yours.

You open your main menu, looking for the logout button, but couldnt seem to find it. You searched through all of your settings, looking more and more for it before trying an audio command to log out, but that didnt seem to work either.

*Uh... is there no logout button? What the heck, did the devs forget the logout button?* Rio asked, annoyed as he went through every menu he had. *Why is there no way to log ou-* hes cut off as he vanished, along with several other players, and you soon find yourself in a large coliseum theater with what looks to be millions of people. There were several large screens, which seemed out of place for a high fantasy game like this, but you tried to pay no attention to it, as someone was currently walking out onto stage amidst the shouts and confusion.

*Hello, Tech Infinity players, I am the games creator, you may call me Infiniternity* He introduces himself. He was a tall, rather strong looking man with short, dusty brown hair. *I feel as if many of you have noticed that there is no log out button- that is intentional.* he says in an almost menacing tone. *Ill explain everything* he says, as players began to outrage, it suddenly got quiet, as he seems to have muted everyones voices and paused their movements in time.

*Thank you for settling down* he started with a smirk *In short, welcome to your new home! Were going to be here forever, or until everyone is dead, at least* he says grimly *I have brought everyone here to start a new age of life, one without the need for physical living, we can all now live inside this game, and create an incredible life of fantasy* he says proudly. *However, there is one drawback- if you die in the game, you die in real life* He says.

Its at this point you notice that theres a few thousand empty seats here, and Rio is beside you, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief, tears well up in his eyes as he collapses into his seat, looking lost, frightened, and experiencing a myriad of emotions you couldnt even name.

The world map could only show you where you have seen/traveled to before, but luckily, the meadows were close enough to be on your map. The meadows were in a highlighted outside, showing youd need to travel to the vast fields to find the flora your quest was telling you to. There would be monsters there, but hopefully there would be enough fighting players so that you could stay safe from them.

ALex jumped to his feet "You mean...You tricked millions of people into playing a game that they thought was jsut a regular game? I've played hndreds of games but locking millions of players into a game, then not warning anyone about the death sentence...that's just wrong! And what's more if you aren't aware, you've already murdered one half of a high-ranking YouTube team, plus thousands of lives that can't be replaced." Alex's voice grew stronger and louder. "And what's more, you may thin kyou can eventually kill all who enter your death sentence live-forever-in-a-video-game trap....well, that's not going to be the case becasue I'm going to find a way out or die trying!"

Wehn Alex got angry, he got angry. Which meant, in his case, doing one of his famous rant fests. He'd never cared if he got into troule for being a blabbermouth, but this was outrageous.



(EDIT: OH wait, he's still muted right? Slap me plz. UH..should I rewrite that so it's more appropriate?)

Infiniternia seemed unmoved by the silences shouts of the audience, uncaring of their outrage, shock, and horror. You couldnt hear Rio shouting, but you could tell that he was yelling out for Rhea, even though the entire audience had been muted

*Well, I guess Id better let you all get adapted to your new lives. Im planning to give everyone a chance to escape some day, but I dont want to give any of you spoilers about how to accomplish that.* he said before turning to leave. *Oh, and before I forget, I have one last gift for everyone* and with the wave of a hand, more people began appearing in the coliseum, including Rhea, appearing at Rios side. After the wave of his hand and players started appearing, Infiniternia vanished, and players were being teleported back onto the streets, leaving everyone with a final message:

You have one life. Do not waste it.

*Rhea! I thought I lost you forever! Oh my god I was so scared, never leave me again!* Rio cried, jumping into his sisters arms, who cling to him just as tightly, the two of them crying as they were reunited.

Looking around, players looked lost, unsure of what to do, some of them retreated inside buildings or huddled into the castle, everyone except a few brave players avoided the fields at all costs

(Nah, keep it how it is, its only natural he would yell in this situation, even if no one could hear him)

Alex smiled at the twins. Then looked around and clenched his fists. "I knew it...this was a trap." He looks around, hopping to see any of the other gaming youtubers. He was annoyed since his partner-in-crimevideomaking hadn't gone looking for the game's sourcecode yet, his assistant was a pro at decoding and debugging things. But then again, it was probably good he wasn't here.

He turned to the twins. "Guys...I think this might actually be a good time for us to go into celebrity gamer mode. And yeah. I can't believe i'm saying this but...I need to get into PhoenixBoy as soon as possible. Or find a way out of here. Because if there's any chance I can get through to Leo and his hacker buddies, there's a chance we can get everyone out of here."

His rant fest was officially over and PhoenixBoy had taken over.

*I... I dont know what we should do... if people notice us, they might flock to us with all the answers... and not everyone knows us, theres 10 million people here and we have pretty much the game general audience... leading 10 million seems like a lot, even if theres three of us* Rio said from leaning his head on Rheas shoulder.

*Yeah... I mean... I died for a few hours, it was really scary... well, I wasnt like actually dead, I was in a separate zone with other players who died, and all we could do was watch everyone else* Rhea explained her death experience. *Just because were popular doesnt make us leaders, we need an actual plan... and maybe get a little stronger before we move forward.* Rhea said confidently, despite her fear

Rhea was level 6 now, likely she leveled up before she died, and Rio was level 4, making you the lowest leveled player at level 3.

*Theres nothing stopping us from going to the next town, or getting anywhere, but Im not sure leaving is a great idea* Rhea rambled absentmindedly.

The sound of bells was heard in the near distance, coming from the bell tower of the castle, inviting all the players left on the streets to come inside.

"Let's find somewhere seclude first. THen make a game plan. 10 million...hmmm....ugh it's my nightmare all over again." Alex started mumbling stuff to himself. Becuas ethat' s just alex. "Definitely need to stay with a large group for protection, need to find good people who can be trusted and can fight, gotta level up...etcetc etc (cue mumbling about something in his native tougne, Hawaiian)." Alex knew that they needed to stay undercover for awhile until people snapped out of their state, probably about a day or two, maybe more. But he needed to change his name, asap. DreamKing wasn't what he felt comfortable in anymore and he needed to find a way to either get out or contact somene in the real world.

*The castle is still selling name changes for one gold... of course, we need a piece of gold first and you can only get gold coins in the next city* Rhea offered her input.

*10 million people all trapped together in a game, possibly from around the world... theres no way everyone can be speaking English here* Rhea added on as she considered he point.

*Oh, theyre not, the game has an automatic translating service thats said to be the most advanced of this kind due to mostly just translating intentions and thoughts that are put into words, yknow, the whole brain plug thing.* Rio flaunted his game manual knowledge again.

*Would a large group really be the best idea? Wed all level up way too slowly, even if we had safety in numbers, we could never advance, it would take days just to get to level 10* Rhea pointed out.

"And this is why I died three times in one day on SkyWar before I grouped with you two. I don't think straight in the evening. Ok, so maybe not a giant party but we need to at least level up high enough not to get killed. WE should probabl fnd somewhere to rest first htough, I need to get back some health before I dare do anthing else. 1/4 is already below my limit. Besides...I'm actualy kind of worried there's a night monster. It's kind of tradition for me to get killed by a night monster in the first few nights and...I can't die this time."

"The town has apartments and inns to rent and buy rooms from... Rhea wants to buy a house someday, but not an apartment, and not in the spawn town" Rio mentioned.

"We can all pool out money and share a room at the inn, and we're in a safe zone, we don't have to worry about night monsters" Rhea piped up. "And health restores during rest or in safe zones over time" Rhea said reassuringly.

"I think theres a few inns around here... we could go to Rainy Creek, Fox face, or Russet Swan inn" Rio said, naming the three tavern inns he knew of
