Sorry for the wait everyone, I had to graduate high school, and do some stuff. but to make up for it, I tried to make it a little longer than usual.

Chapter 4: "Welcome to the Jungle, We got fun and games"

“It’s not that hard.” Said a stern dark voice quietly to himself, as he took a long cable and felt around the back of his head for the jack to plug it into. As he looked around the dark room full of computer servers and people in lab coats he thought to himself, “It’s just another mission. I just have to follow it through like every mission before it.”

“Ok Raz, you jacked in yet?” said a hurried breathless voice. “Good, just sit down in this comfy arm chair, close your eyes, and let go of reality as you submerse into the game world.” The disembodied voice continued not even waiting for the young man’s response.

The young man who was still searching for the jack in the back of his neck sat down in a hard metal arm-chair that rose out of the ground. When he found the jack he tried to relax into the uncomfortable chair. As he closed his eyes and tried to clear his mind; he took a deep breathe and opened his eyes one last time to see a monitor and he saw a large oak tree sitting on top of a hill with a small girl with long blond hair pulled back behind her and tied back by a giant blue bow, the girl seemed not only to be looking at him but looking through him.

“Ok, that is just creepy.” He said as he closed his eyes again and felt himself get pulled into the game.

When he opened his eyes again he was standing right in front of the little girl that he just saw on the computer monitor.

“Welcome to Wonderland Sir. My name is Alice, I am the in game guide, and I help all new members, and act as a messenger for the various guilds. What is your name?” Alice asked innocently.

“Razor.” The young man replied bluntly as he tried to stay standing.

“Before you enter Wonderland, I think I should take you through the ropes of playing the game since you can’t really even seem to be able to stay standing.” Alice said as she smiled sweetly at Razor who had fallen down several times and tried to stand up for the fifth time.

“That might be a good idea.” Razor replied as he finally managed to stand up and stay standing. “So what is it that I am supposed to do?”

“The first step is simple.” Alice said flatly, “It’s learning to walk. Just take a step, some one you can do it.” As Alice cheered him on, Razor slowly took his first few shaky steps forward.

“Good,” Alice said re-affirmatively, “now the next step is to create your avatar and customize your control of it.” As Alice spoke two small trees sprouted out of the ground, and grew till thy were as tall as Razor, as they grew, the base and tops started to intertwine and the gap in-between the trunks started to shimmery and fill with a silvery liquid that turned into a mirror.

“Now what do you want to look like, you can be anything or anyone. So what will it be?” Alice asked as she smiled at Razor with a creepy twisted sorta smile that made her look like a demented child.

“So I can make my like anyone I want?” Razor asked.

“Yep, more than just anyone, you can even give your character certain animalistic qualities if you want. You just can’t give your character special powers or anything like that. So no wings to fly with, and nothing like that.” Alice said in a drooling bored tone.

“Well what’s wrong with the way I look now?” Razor asked indignantly.

“Well you look kinda boring and uninteresting. Plus you look like a Suit.” Alice said in a blunt and uninterested tone.

“What’s a Suit?” Razor asked.

“They are government agents who play in the game, they aren’t very fun. In fact, they are a pain in the butt to deal with.” Alice said irritatedly. “Also, every gamer here recognizes them on sight, and hate them. So that being said, you should change how you look.”

“Hmm, well that’s good to know. Let’s see, I want jet black hair that’s short and spiky, I want to be 6 feet tall, lean muscular build of a speedy runner, tan, and… WOW!” As razor spoke, his features changed, and he grew half a foot taller, and his hair color and style changed. ”let’s see, what else do I want… I want my eye’s to be green, a nice bright green, and a smaller nose. I want to be a little narrower in features, kinda like a falcon.” Razor said, and as he spoke his features changed again, this time making him look like a free runner in India than anything else.

“Is that is?” Alice asked, “Cause you can change your clothes too, which I would also recommend, Suits are named what they are because of the suits they wear…”

“Hmm, I want Black SWAT boots, umm black cargo pants, a black t-shirt, and a black trench coat when it get’s cold. How does that sound?” Razor asked.

“Well it could be worse, but it doesn’t look that bad on you. Oh and you are allowed to purchase weapons in game, but we give noobs a free weapon of their choosing.” Alice said as she waved her hands and a table full of weapons appeard before her. “Pick one.”

As Razor paced up and down the table he saw many knives, short swords, staffs, bow and arrows, and many more weapons, of various shapes sizes and styles. “I think I will use this.” Razor said as he picked up a medium length sword with a single edge that was curvy, and a straight back. The sword itself was narrow and light weight, but well balanced and strong.

“Ah the Elvish short sword, a good choice for fast close range assaults. It seems to fit you character very well. Ok, since that’s the weapon you want, you can have it.” Alice said matter-of-factly. “Now with that taken care of, you may begin your journey down the Rabbit Hole. We hope you find yourself on the other side, and find the answers to the questions in this life that you have Razor.” Alice said mystically as she faded away.

“Wait, what does that mean?” Razor asked confused. As he sighed he realized it would be useless to try and ask more since she was gone. “Well I might as well start my mission. This is Razor heading out into the Game.” Razor said as he crawled into a small hole at the base of the tree in front of him. “Now the n, where will I find these guys…” Razor thought to himself as he came through the other side of the Rabbit Hole.

As he walked out into a bustling city he looked around and tried to get his barring. But he got pulled along with the crowd. Without even realizing it, he was shortly being dragged into a shady section of town, where three dark figures lurked in an alleyway.

“Who about that guy boss. He looks like a real noob, and he would be easy to beat.” Said a short, weaselly, rat like man, with greasy black slick back hair.

“Yes, he will be a real easy target.” Replied what appeared to be the leader of the group, a man tall, lanky, hawk like man, who wore a mardi gras and a long black duster.

Chapter 5: The Fight

As he walked out into a bustling city he looked around and tried to get his barring. But he got pulled along with the crowd. Without even realizing it, he was shortly being dragged into a shady section of town, where three dark figures lurked in an alleyway.

“Who about that guy boss. He looks like a real noob, and he would be easy to beat.” said a short, weasel, rat like man, with greasy black slick back hair.

“Yes, he will be a real easy target.” replied what appeared to be the leader of the group, a man tall, lanky, hawk like man, who wore a mardi gras and a long black duster.

“Pssst, Hey kid, you look like your looking for ssssomething. Maybe my friend and I can help you.” hissed a quite raspy female voice from someone hidden in the shadows from an alleyway that Razor was passing.

“I am looking for someone, but it’s none of your business.” Razor replied bluntly as he tried to keep on walking. But he was stopped as a thin hand with long boney fingers grabbed his arm from the shadows.

“Oh but Ssssonny, I can make finding whoever it is sssso much eassssier.” hissed the same person now holding Razor’s arm, it was a fragile looking, bony, hunch backed lady with a crooked hawk like nose, two unevenly sized eyes of different colors and many moles, she was wearing a black hooded cloak.

“No thanks.” Razor said firmly as he tried to free himself from her bony hand’s tight grip.

“Leave the kid alone Shae.” said an oily smooth sounding voice from a fast talking, tall lanky, hawk like man in a long black duster who wore a shiny black Mardi gras mask. He had walked right up to Razor pried the lady’s hand off of Razor’s arm without Razor realizing it, for that reason, Razor was scared and his face didn’t betray his emotions. “My name is Hawks” the man who walked up to razor said with a smile. “Would you like some help?” he asked slyly.

“No thanks, I’m fine.” Razor said firmly as he sidestepped Hawks and walked down the street.

“Well let me give you a piece of advice, don’t go that way, and avoid the crew known as The Mad Hatters.” Hawks said coldly over his shoulder to Razor.

“Thanks, but I’m perfectly capable of handling myself.” Razor called back over his shoulder coldly.

As Razor continued another three steps he spun around on his heels and looked around frantically. He looked and looked, tossing his head to and fro searching hard for something or someone, but he couldn’t find it. He back traced his steps a few steps and turned down the alley that the person known as Shae stopped him. Razor appeared to be searching frantically for Shae and Hawks. “Damn it, where did they go?” Razor whispered to himself as he ran down the alley where he met them.

As he ran down the alley, Razor heard two people whispering further down the alley. Razor slowed down a little and tried to move as quietly as possible as he followed the sound of the whispers. When he got closer, and he recognized the sound of the two voices whispering to each other, they were Hawks and Shae whispering about something, but Razor couldn’t tell what.

When Razor had traveled a few yards, Razor saw Shae and Hawks and they were talking to someone he didn’t recognize. The man that Shae and Hawks were talking to, was a giant, well-built, muscular man who was sharply dressed in a suit oh pearly white with crimson vines embroidered on it who carried a giant hand-and-half sword sheathed in the highly ornate ivory scabbard on his belt. As Razor drew closer to them he balled his fists, crouched down, and prepared to attack them. When he was right behind the three people, Razor leapt forward and swung at Hawks. Right as Razor charged forward, Hawks sidestepped and Razor hit the man in the red suit in the face by accident. Razor spun around and made to hit Hawks in his smug looking face, but something caught his arm inches before Razor’s fist made contact with Hawks’ face.

“This is a no fighting zone!” boomed a deep, terrifying voice that commanded respect from behind Razor. “You have committed two offenses; you will be forcefully logged out and will be banned for two days.”

Razor started trembling as he turned his head and saw that the man dressed in red and white was now holding Razor’s arm a with a vice like grip, his nose was bleeding, and his face was purple with rage.

“I King of Hearts of the admin guild, bore witness to your attack, and am your judge, jury and executioner. You have been found guilty of attacking someone in a no fighting zone, and attacking an admin. Your sentence is to be forcefully logged out, and banned for two days. Prepare yourself.” shouted the man in the red and white suit as he threw Razor backwards.

Razor flew backwards and hit the wall behind him. When Razor hit the wall, the King of Hearts drew his sword and charged at Razor with his sword raised above his head ready to slice through Razor’s neck. Razor looked up in just in time and rolled to his left and charged forward towards Hawks to pry his sword out of Hawks’ hand. When he did this, the King of Hearts’ sword sliced through the stone wall where Razor previously was and became lodged in a steel pipe. As the King of Hearts ripped his sword out of the wall, Razor ripped his sword from Hawks’ grip, and unsheathed it throwing the sheath away, Razor gripped his short sword with both hands and rolled to the left to rolled to avoid another swing from the King’s sword. As Razor rolled, he swung his sword at the back of the King of Hearts’ leg and sliced through several inches of human muscle.

“Not bad kid.” The King of Hearts said with a laugh as he turned to face Razor where he now stood crouched and ready to roll any direction or charge and attack. “But you are gonna have to do a lot better than that to beat me. I tell you what, if you can beat me in a fight, or even put up a decent fight, I won’t ban you.” The King said with a haughty laugh.

Razor nodded and charged forward slashing furiously at The King of Hearts. And each slash was either just barely scratched The King of Hearts, of was blocked by his sword. As this carried on Razor started to become extremely tired, and his breathing became extremely labored. As Razor continued to fight, The King of Hearts fought back, each one giving the other several scratches, and occasionally a nasty gash. Finally after five minutes of fighting, Razor had managed to knock the sword from The King of Hearts’ hands, and Razor stood bleeding severely, but tall and proud with his sword at The King of Hearts’ throat about to deal the finishing blow. Right as he drew his sword back to swing, he felt it. It felt like a shard of ice piercing his heart, he looked and protruding from his chest by a few inches was the tip of a dagger. He lurched forward as it was ripped out of him, and then stabbed back into his chest at a different spot. He felt the same pain when it went in, like ice was being shot into his veins. Again the blade was pulled out, and again it was stabbed back into him. Razor moved to turn around to fight back, but when he turned, he saw a beautiful lady, wearing a sleek and sexy white and red cocktail dress with a Crest on the right shoulder right next to a red rose the was pined to her dress, she had a demented smile, that seemed to be enjoying all of this, and this was the last thing he saw before everything went white.

When he woke up again, he was being shaken by several men in white lab coats, and his pulse was beating rapidly. He sat up immediately clutching his chest where he had been stabbed, the pain was still there, and he remembered everything so vividly... including the face of the person who had stabbed him, and the smile she had when she stabbed him. Razor looked around, and was confused by everything that what going on, but when he looked at the monitor, a message had popped up saying “We aren’t going to suspend you, or anything like that. But we will give you a warning, do not try that again. And thanks for putting up a good fight.” It was from the King of Hearts. And then a second message popped up saying “Meet me at the town square in two hours. Look for a tall blonde girl in a white dress; I want to talk with you. Oh, and good job in your fight today, you’ve got potential.” And this one was sent anonymously.
