Back from the previous volume. We find Steve shocked, panting heavily. His eyes look insane and he is shocked. He looks like he has seen a ghost.
‘’Steve. What are you doing here?!’’ Marla says, shouting. Steve flinches, ‘’I…don’t know.’’ He says, his voice weak. There’s heavy windy, desert silence. Marla sighs, goes closer and touches Steve on the cheeks, Steve is shocked, suddenly Steve starts blushing. The sky turns dark blue and stars surround him. It’s beautiful, and it feels like heaven.

Steve comes back from the sky, dropping on his knees panting heavily. ‘’Marla! You’re the real Marla Brightway?! The girl of my dreams. Are you real, are you fake, Are you a robot?!’’
Marla is uncomfortable, ‘’I’m real, yes. And you need to— ‘’ Steve interrupts her, ‘’Why are you here In the Sandy-Way? Aren’t you lost?’’
Marla chuckles, ‘’No, Steve. I live here. It’s just my imagination overriding everything. It’s not far. I just brought you here.’’
That’s shocking.
Steve is shocked, he looks at Marla. ‘’What? We’re still in Cointropolis? Isn’t this the Sandy-Way? Why did you bring me here?’’
Marla then has an evil grin. Options appear
A – JUST TELL HIM THE TRUTH
B – LIE
C – FIGHT
D – BOTH.
Marla chooses both (A and C)
‘’Because I’m not a hero. I know how you are; you want me so bad. You are so in love with me to the point of killing everything in your path to get me.’’ Marla says, her tone chilling.
‘’What?!’’ Steve stands up shocked. ‘’No, No, No, No. It can’t be!’’
Steve tightly holds Marla, ‘’I love you, Marla! You are my idol, my inspiration. Ever since you shared a sandwich for me, ever since you helped me in biology. Now all of it is a lie?!’’
Marla pulls Steve away, shouting, ‘’Yes, it is! I’m on the Enemies side. You should have believed in that overprotective brother of yours.’’
Silence. Steve drops on his knees, sad. He sniffs, a single tear drops on the ground. He looks on the sand, his reflection showing. He clutches the sand in anger and pain.
HEART: BROKEN.
CONFIDENCE: SHATTERED
WEAKNESSES: OVERTAKING.
Steve sobs silently, He rubs his nose. It’s silent.
‘’I am such a fool. I am just like every teenager on the planet. Having a crush on someone, but only fantasizing who they are.’’ He says, his voice chocked.
Marla smirks, ‘’Now that you have realized. It’s time to bring in my BF: Matthew Day.’’
Suddenly the sand turns orange and into fire. It’s a large battlefield. Steve yelps and jumps out, he runs on a floating rock, panting heavily.
Marla crosses her arms. Rock music plays. A heavy metal sounds.
Of course, it does. Theatre kids can’t say things nicely.
In the F key, strings buzz and Matthew rides, singing, ‘’You know the feeling of a bright new day/ Where Lord Matthew can say…’’
Rock buzzes.
Matthew does a full flip and lands behind Marla, ‘You thought you can steal my girl? / My only one/ My match made in heaven.’’
Matthew goes closer and touches Marla on the hips, Marla falls back onto his chest, Matthew is holding her, orange eyes sparkling.
‘’Show us your face/You brown-headed D-loser of dreams/Bow down before me and let me watch you get wrecked’’
MATTHEW DAY
AGE: 24
POWERS: FIRE.
WEAKNESSES: BATS.
MARLA + MATTHEW
STATUS: THE POWER COUPLE
ALSO
PART OF ENEMIES.
Rock guitar riff ends, as Steve drops on the ground. Pathetically.
Steve stands up, surprisingly his yellow energy buzzes around his body, he has yellow eyes and yellow hair. He floats in the air.
ERROR: WEAKNESSES TAKING OVER.
Steve roars, yellow energy roaring out of his mouth, Matthew looks up, smirking. He then clutches the energy and spins Steve around like a swing. He then smashes onto a fiery wall with bats.
‘’Your gothic architecture is charming, babe.’’ Marla says, softly. ‘’It’s not gothic.’’ Matthew responds coldly.
‘’Emo?’’ Marla asks. ‘’Not even close.’’ Matthew says, still cold.
Suddenly yellow energy blasts and Steve appears, holding a yellow sword. His pocket is filled with potions – a purple flower, a purple egg, and a bat flower.
‘’Where did you get all that?!’’ Matthew asks, shocked.
2 MINUTES BEFORE THIS.
After Steve got hit, he had a tip appearing.
TIP: GO TO MARCUS WAYNE’S POTION SHOP!
Steve went to Marcus Wayne’s Potion Shop.
FULL NAME: MARCUS WAYNE’S HOUSE OF PAYNE.
Steve enters and grabs a purple flower, purple egg and a bat flower, dropping them on the counter. Marcus Wayne smirks. Steve pulls out cash and goes with them.
NOW – PRESENT.
‘’And that’s the end.’’ Steve says, sighing.
‘’Marcus Wayne’s House of- Is this world salad, babe?’’ Marla asks, innocent.
‘’You’re so STUPID, Marla.’’ Matthew says, savvy.
‘’Oh, babe. That’s so hot! ’Marla shouts.
WHAT STUPID STANDS FOR IN MATTHEW’S DUMB VIEW:
S – SEXY
T- TOOTSIE
U – USEFUL
P – PEACHY
I – IDIOTIC
D – DAMSEL
‘’Okay, not hot anymore.’’ Marla responds, disappointed.
Matthew walks in, buzzing with fiery energy, ‘’Alright, Steve. I am the first boss you will be facing. And from your stats, you cannot respawn.’’
Steve gets angry and enraged, ‘’EVERYONE RESPAWNS!’’
Matthew runs and grabs Steve on the throat, pulling him up, fire thunder strikes. It’s dramatic, chaotic and messy.
‘’Not everyone. You are just an NPC, a useless, walking, talking, guy who just observes!’’ Matthew shouts, he then decides to throw Steve on the ground, he is bouncing like a ragdoll.
HEALTH: 91/100.
‘’Is that the best you can do?!’’ Steve shouts as he slowly stands and coughs coins.
‘’Give it up, Steve. You are about to die.’’ Matthew says as he walks closer to him.
DING!
A coin hits Matthew’s head, it falls on the ground, rotating like a pixel.
‘’Pathetic.’’ Matthew says softly.
Steve then has a punching pose at Matthew, and Matthew does the same.
STEVE WATSON VS MATTHEW DAY
FIGHT!!
Steve spins, forming a yellow tornado. It flies in full speed towards Matthew. Matthew rolls his eyes and throws fireballs at the tornado, burning it down. Steve runs and flips over the fire as he drifts on the sidelines. He clasps his hands and forms a yellow orb. He shoots it at Matthew, erupting in a large explosion, shooting him away.
PUNCH!
Steve hits a yellow-charged punch at Matthew, hurting his face.
BOOM!
Matthew claps back, exploding on Steve’s face. Steve wipes and runs around in super-sonic speed, forming a circle around Matthew.
RUMBLE!
BANG!
Matthew is hurt and burnt heavily. His HP is low.
‘’Marla, sweetheart! Help me!’’ Matthew shouts weak, turning to Marla.
Marla crosses her arms, ‘’You made up an acronym for stupid. That’s the worst thing you have ever done. You even turned my name into an acronym!’’
WHAT MARLA IS IN MATTHEW’S DUMB WORDVIEW:
- M - Maybe
- A – A
- R - ROACH
- L - LOVES
- A – ANIMALS
Matthew starts laughing, ‘’Oh, did I?’’
Marla just pouts at Matthew, ‘’Jerk.’’ She says coldly
Matthew is shocked as Marla stands up and walks away, ‘’Wait, Marla! Don’t do this to me! We are a power couple! I’m just a crazy man okay!’’
Silence. Steve has stopped fighting. He stops his stance and becomes composed, ‘’Is she leaving you?’’ He asks.
‘’Yes! And it’s all because of you. You ruined everything!’’ Matthew shouts.
‘’Wait, this is a world Marla created. She has so much energy, let’s just tear it down.’’ Steve suggests.
‘’No way! She will kill me!’’ Matthew says as he turns around, tired.
‘’Yeah, but you deserve better. You deserve someone who can support your crazy and kinda lazy word views. You deserve something else.’’ Steve suggests, his tone soft.
Matthew looks up to Steve, he looks small and weak, ‘’But I’m an enemy. Enemies need to be defeated, not to be felt for.’’
‘’Then let’s twist it into something better. And maybe…you can teach me how to respawn.’’ Steve says, smirking.
Matthew looks at him, he nods. They then shake hands.
‘’I have this girl I have a crush on. Maybe I can impress her. And we can be a true power couple.’’ Matthew says.
‘’Die, dumbass!’’ Marla shouts as she is flying towards Matthew, in a punching stance, red energy.
Steve’s eyes widen. He then eats a purple flower and starts levelling up and forming into…. a purple dragon.
‘’What the- Am I Spyro?!’’ Steve shouts, shocked by his new form.
Matthew grabs the purple egg, ‘’Maybe you are, Maybe I am, we don’t have time!’’ He shouts as the throws the egg at Marla.
Marla’s eyes widen, ‘’Oh, crap.’’ She mutters.
HER WEAKNESS?
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
SHE IS A VEGETERIAN
SHE DOESN’T EAT MEAT AND EGGS!
The egg lands on Marla’s face, she is trying to remove it. However, her face gets sucked in the purple juice and she turns into Baby Gurl.
DEFINITIONS:
BABY GIRLS ARE ITEMS THAT ADD TO XP AND REPUTATION
AWARD: SKILLFULL!
Marla is now a baby girl, sucking her thumb and wearing a diaper, ‘’Goo-Goo-Gaga’’ She says.
Matthew and Steve both laughs.
‘’You know what, Steve. I don’t deserve to win. I have a better idea.’’ Matthew says.
Matthew grabs the bat from Steve’s pocket, and stings it on his cheek. Matthew’s eyes glow dragon-red and he turns into…
A Baby Boi.
DEFINITION:
BABY BOIs also add to XP!
Baby Matthew and Baby Marla are both sitting there, sucking their thumbs.
Steve laughs, ‘’Aw, so adorable.’’
(CHAPTER 1 : I LOVE U)
In Rita’s. The gang are all there, sitting comfy. They are unsettled while Rita is chewing a large burger.
NAME: RITA OWLMA
POWERS: BIRD AND OWL POWERS
WEAKNESSES: HIDES HER SENITVITY. AND FORGOT TO INTRODUCE HER STATS IN VOLUME 1!
‘’Rita, stop chewing. We are all depressed here.’’ Bradley says he is sipping coffee.
‘’I can’t. I hate quiet places.’’ She says bluntly.
‘’Well, I love reading books, watching TV and quiet places.’’ Brian responds.
Rita looks at him, just responding sarcastically, ‘’You’re an introvert.’’
John is doing push-ups on the ground, ‘’Well, at least Steve is gone. He was hogging the atmosphere.’’
Tiffany giggles, ‘’I’m adding that line to my puppet show. It’s taking place in Study Room Z.’’
Shaun turns to her, laughing smugly, ‘’You still do puppet shows. Aw, child alert.’’ He then laughs.
‘’Can’t a girl have some childlike interests. It’s not like it’s gonna start the World War or something’’ Tiffany says, a bit hurt.
John stops doing push-ups and lies down, ‘’Well, at least I’m not the only one who’s a jerk.’’
Paul is holding his skull cane, ‘’What an oath to the boath. Hey, why is everyone not worried about Steve?’’
Silence. ‘’Your rhymes are so terrible.’’ Rita responds, popping a can of soda.
‘’Because, Steve died, Paul. It’s been 4 days now. Leave that fool alone.’’ John says, his jaw clenched.
‘’John, Steve was just a confused person. Not someone that needs to be chased.’’ Bradley responds, frustrated.
John laughs smugly, ‘’Nothing needs to be chased, Brad. The only thing that needs to be chased is Steve’s ego.’’
DING DONG.
Everyone turns around, confused.
‘’No one comes to my soda shop at 6 am.’’ Rita sighs.
Rita stands up and walks to the door, she passes the counter where she sees Rosie filing papers.
ROSIE NORWOOD
AGE: 25
POWERS: BEING ATTRACTIVE
WEAKNESSES: BEING NOT ATTRACTIVE.
‘’Morning, Roo.’’ Rita says as she passes by. Rosie slams the file down, ‘’Go answer the doorbell. Hope it’s not a criminal.’’
Rita turns around, ‘’You a criminal yourself.’’ Rosie laughs, ‘’In terms of what?’’
‘’Rejecting.’’ Rita says as she opens the door. She yelps and drops on the ground.
She finds Matthew Day as a baby; he then eats a flower and grows back to himself.
‘’Rita. Is Rosie there? I gotta express my love for her!’’ Matthew shouts.
Rita rolls her eyes, ‘’As you wish. Hope you enjoy getting rejected.’’
Matthew stands confident, ‘’I also have a surprise.’’
Rita scoffs, ‘’Yeah, what? In showing your abs?’’
Matthew pulls out a bug, unzips and Steve bursts out, he flies down.
‘’I’m back!’’ Steve shouts, excited.
Rita is shocked, she then faints. Matthew grabs her.
The group run and find Steve, looking confident and sparkling.
‘’Steve!’’ Bradley shouts as he hugs Steve tightly. ‘’I missed you so much, I thought you were dead!’’
‘’Wow, uh…hi…uh…Steve. I thought you uh…died…and uh…never…uh respawned.’’ John says as he backs away.
John hits Shaun’s skateboard. Where Shaun is leaning at, wearing a vest. ‘’Bro. Are you trying to run away from him?’’ Shaun says smugly. ‘’What? Me? John? No way. I just need green noodles to be confident.’’ John slurps green noodles and starts glowing green.
‘’You betrayed us! You little devil! Why?!’’ John shouts.
Steve sighs, ‘’I’m sorry. I thought I could be a hero solo, but I forgot. I need a party; I need a found family. I need you!’’
Everyone exchanges looks.
‘’Well, if it was me saying that on Twitter, I would have low engagement. Not gonna lie.’’ Paul says.
Tiffany shouts, ‘’Don’t do this again, Steve! I thought you would die. So, where were you?’’
Steve thinks.
‘’UHHHHHHHHH…….’’
DING!
‘’My muffins are ready!’’ Steve shouts. He then runs to the microwave.
‘’Oh, he can’t betray us and treat us like that. When we get our study group back, we are gonna have strict rules.’’ John says, glowing green. His eyes flash green too.
On the counter, Matthew is flirting with Rosie. Rosie just looks irritated.
‘’So, uh. Rosie No-wood, right?’’ Matthew asks.
‘’Norwood.’’ She answers with rage.
‘’Look, I know I’m a horny, disgusting, person. And I need therapy. But Marla broke up with me, and I cannot be a couple with her anymore. And…I need an honest partner who understands me. Someone who can listen and digest my cartoonish qualities and process them as real facts or answers. I don’t want F-graded paperwork, I don’t want Ss. I just want someone who can know me and help me. I understand if it hurts you. I…wasted your time.’’
Matthew’s speech ends as he walks away, holding a coffee cup. Rosie is shocked by that speech. She calls out Matthew, ‘’Hey, Matt! Are you free later?’’
Matthew freezes, he is shocked.
OPTIONS
A – YES!!!
B – DID YOU JUST ASK ME?!
C – NO!
D – I NEED TO CHECK MY PANTS IN THE MIRROR.
Matthew chooses ‘’A’’, as he clutches his coffee cup, it streams down the cup. As his heart is racing.
‘’YES!’’
Matthew shouts as he is in his vision, rotating around while diamonds of Rosie appear.
But in reality, Matthew is just salivating as Rosie slowly pats him on the bed. She puts on her jacket.
‘’I am free…Let’s have some coffee.’’ Rosie says as she zips. She walks away but stops, she sees Matthew still staring there, his heart beating.
Rosie blushes.
She then walks slowly, tilts Matthew’s head, Matthew is shocked. ‘’What are you— ‘’ He asks. Rosie smirks as she goes closer, her body brushing his.
Matthew is shocked. Rosie is about to kiss Matthew but….
‘’GET A ROOM!’’
They both freeze as they turn around and find the boys (Steve, John, Shaun, Paul) all laughing at them.
Bradley shares concerned looks with Tiffany.
Rosie is angry, she grabs Matthew’s hand and pulls him.
‘’Rosie! Wait. There’s also a tomorrow!’’ He shouts.
In the restrooms, Rosie is dragging Matthew.
‘’Rosie, please, just— ‘’ He gets interrupted when Rosie tilts his head and kisses him. A soft, sweet kiss.
She pulls back, Matthew is shocked.
HEART RATE: 70%.
Matthew holds Rosie, his eyes are big. He is blushing and he is awkward.
‘’W-W-Why don’t we sit down on the bed.’’ He stammers. ‘’Why’’ Rosie asks, awkward, but she is secretly loving it.
PRESS X TO SAY IT.
Matthew then sighs, ‘’Because…. I love you.’’
Rosie is shocked, her eyes widen. ‘’Me too.’’ She says.
A MINUTE LATER…
They are both on bed, kissing.
ANOTHER MINUTE LATER
Rosie is shirtless, wearing a bra. Matthew is wearing a vest.
They both brush their fingers across each other and kiss.
AGAIN.
Outside, a robot is watching them. A small robot.
NAME: LIL ‘BOT’.
AGE: INFINITE
POWERS: ROBOT POWERS
WEAKNESSES: AI HALLUCINATING
The robot then goes down.
‘’LOVE…DETECTED…. PARTY ARRIVING…AWKWARDNESS…DETECTED.’’’
Later, on the rooftop, Steve is sitting down. Lil Bot runs to him.
‘’Hey, Lil Bot. Remember I used to play with you when I was 5?’’ He asks, confident.
Lil Bot rolls his eyes, ‘’Matthew and Rosie are having it.’’
Steve snickers, ‘’Good for him.’’
It’s silent. The sun is setting.
‘’Lil Bot. Do you ever think…I will be a true gamer hero?’’ He asks, deeply insecure and concerned.
‘’Well, you can’t respawn.’’ Lil Bot answers monotone.
‘’But will I ever learn to respawn??’’ Steve asks, scared.
Lil Bot looks him in the eye, ‘’That’s none of my concerns.’’
Steve looks down, ‘’Aw, man.’’
‘’You humans treat robots like they are good friends.’’ Lil Bot blurts out.
‘’What?’’ Steve asks, catching up.
‘’Nothing.’’ Lil Bot answers.
(CHAPTER 2: STAN VS ABEL)
The lab is cold. It smells of broken machines and outdated technology. Professor Abel is just sitting with his sky-blue glasses.
Static Stan walks in the room. He is a man with a businessuit and a TV for a head that shows his emotions.
NAME: STATIC STAN
AGE: 26
POWERS AND ABILITES: STATIC ENERGY, ELETRCITY, REALITY-WARPING, SONIC EMITTERS.
WEAKNESSES: PRIDE.
STATUS: MEDIA MORGUL.
‘’Why did you call me here, Abel? Make it quick.’’ Stan says as he walks towards him, his voice frustrated and chilling.
‘’I called you here for a tiny favor.’’ Abel answers, coldly.
Stan stands near him, crossing his arms, ‘’Explain it to me, Albert Einstein.’’
Abel turns to him, ‘’You as part of the Enemies group are not doing anything. You haven’t been attacking, stopping heroes. This is not good. We are the Enemies group, I am the C.E.O. My job is to assign you to each enemy.’’
Stan scoffs, ‘’I’m a media overlord, Abel. I don’t care about the defeating hero’s biz. I’m only here to influence media and be the king of Cointropolis’s entertainment.’’
Abel turns to him, harshly, ‘’Stan. You know what I do to people who don’t their job?’’
‘’What?’’ He answers.
‘’I fight them. I make them respawn into another dimension.’’
As Abel says this, he stands up and snaps a chair.
Stan laughs out loud, his eye glitching, ‘’Bring it on, loser. In fact, I was prepped to take over this group. I am the boss, now.’’
‘’Oh, you daydream, Stan.’’
Abel removes his glasses and throws them away; they break and glitch.
PROFESSOR ABEL
AGE: 28
POWERS: SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
WEAKNESSES: OVERCONFIDENCE.
‘’We also have to get the Diamonds of Egress too, Stan.’’ Abel answers.
Stan laughs, ‘’I have no idea what they are.’’
Abel slaps Stan on his screen, he glitches’! Abel! This is why you’re a mad scientist. Emphasis on mad.’’
Abel paces the room, ‘’If you get all the 7 diamonds, your party wins and you become a king. No one has ever gotten the diamonds. And we need to get them!’’
Abel’s face is insane. It’s clear he really wants to be a king.
‘’I’ll get them.’’ Stan answers. ‘’For myself.’’ He adds.
‘’No way. This is the biggest mistake of your life.’’ Abel answers.
Abel pulls out two swords, and his glasses appear (spawned). Stan snickers and has a fighting stance.
STATIC STAN VS PROFESSOR ABEL
3….2….1….
FIGHT!
Abel runs with his swords
SHING!
They sparkle as he is about to hit Stan. Stan, however kicks the sword away. Abel gets mad and slices Stan’s screen.
CLANG!
Stan punches Abel.
PUNCH!
CLANG!
PUNCH!
CLANG!
Thunder strikes as each of them do their move. Stan then whistles and the Female-Stans appear flying down with Static wings, they fly on the ground.
‘’What is it?! Lord Stan?!’’ They all ask in unison.
‘’Defeat him, girls!’’ Stan shouts.
The Female-Stan’s fly and then connect all their wires and spring them towards Abel. He gasps and jumps. The wires hit the wall, suddenly they swing the war towards Abel as he runs around, Stan then pulls out his hand and…
SHING!
Electricity sparkles, he then hits Abel and he shouts. Getting electrocuted. The wall also hits him, Abel slides on the ground. Two blocks fly and hit on their heads.
ABILITY-OF-THE-DAY GIFTS.
They both spin around and open. Stan finds his sonic emitters. Abel finds a laptop.
‘’Hacking’’ He whispers happily.
Static Stan activates the emitters, and the wall slides down. All the chairs fall on the other side, the TV screens break, drop and slide down. Abel is sliding down, trying to get up.
The Female-Stans quickly fly down and form a blue electric portal. Abel gasps. The pressure is intense.
Abel types on the laptop, hacking sounds. Silence. Green energy blasts from the left and flies down…
BOOM!
The two portals both connect with energy. Green on the left and Blue on the right. The Female Stans gasp. Stan is angry, as everything is sliding down. He jumps on a TV screen and slides down; he then goes inside the screen.
Silence.
Suddenly everything glitches in and out and the background turns into Static.
‘’What the hell?’’ Abel mutters, shocked. He then turns around and finds lots of TV’s floating.
‘’WELCOME TO THE STATIC-VERSE!’’
Stan shouts as he is extremely large, his face huge and looking at Abel. Stan is then powered by electricity and static and flies down with a punching pose.
CLANG!
Abel blocks it with his two swords. He then moves around; it feels like a bubble. Stan tries punching and extending, but Abel blocks again and bites the hand. Stan screams in pain. Electricity rains down on Abel and electrocutes him, making him buzz. Stan then jumps out and runs on the large arm and hand. He is about to punch Abel until….
BOOM!
The green energy from Abel flies down and hits them both. They are both trapped in green liquid. Abel is trying to swim on top but Stan grabs him on his legs and pulls him down. A large blue shark Is moving around.
Abel holds Stan on the legs as Stan is shaking, pushing them. Abel throws Stan and punches him in the water, Stan punches back. And they both exchange punches. Until Abel kicks Stan’s TV screen. It shows color bars. Stan goes on his TV screen and puts the volume from 0 to 100. Many Stan clones from 0-100 show up. Abel is shocked.
‘’Oh, crap.’’ He mutters. He then swims away, but the shark and the Stans all follow him. Abel hacks on his eyes and the background turns glitched. Suddenly Abel is glitched.
‘’hey stan! Look at me now!!!’’
Abel shouts, glitched and confident. His eye is black and his whole body is glitching. Stan is horrified. He then flies hard and charges his hand with blue and electric punches and….
BOOM!
Abel gets cracked and broken, he then flies out of the screen. And then landing inside a TV.
‘’NOOOOOOOO! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS! I WILL GET BACK AND HAVE REVENGE!!!!’’
They are back in Abel’s lab, Abel flies out of the TV, hurt. What an intense battle it was. Abel is panting heavily, injured and hurt. Stan is panting heavily, his TV screen filled with scars.
‘’Well, you failed. Now the group is mine, I own the assets, I own the crown, I own the data, I own the assembling flies. I own your Tinder account. And I own your underwear.’’ Stan says, confident.
Silence. ‘’My girls never came anyway.’’ Abel says, his voice chocked. He coughs coins as they all fall on the ground.
Abel drops on the ground weak.
‘’Fine. You own everything. But…where will I go?’’ Abel asks, terrified.
‘’Oh…You will respawn…Into another dimension.’’ Stan says, his voice chilling.
This is terrible for Abel.
‘’No, No, No! Stan! God, no!’’ Abel shouts, pleading as Stan is about to punch him. And then….
BOOM!
Abel is gone.
HUD:0/100
STATUS: DEFEATED.
Stan turns around, ominously. ‘’The Show Must Go On.’’ He says as he laughs evilly.
Now… Where did Abel go?
(CHAPTER 3: ABEL?)
In Cointroplis. It’s raining. People are walking, collecting rotating coins. A portal opens and Abel flies down and hits the wet alleyway, hurt and destroyed.
He has lost everything.
STATUS: RESPAWNED.
He slowly looks up, his vision blurry and disoriented.
A mysterious figure extends a hand, ‘’Lost everything too?’’ The figure asks.
Abel coughs coins.
HP: 0/100.
‘’No, thanks. I’m gonna respawn again.’’ He answers, his voice weak and raspy.
‘’I’m not here to hurt you. I’m here….to help you.’’ The figure answers.
Abel is confused, he asks, ‘’Who are you?’’
Silence.
