When he fell asleep, He had a Dream. He saw Zephyr with her head down sitting on a throne all alone. Outside the window were catapults, giant Flying birds and Dragons all attacking a Distant army. The Sky had a Blood red glow to it and the earth seemed to be shaking. Zephyr had a Ring on her finger and was wearing Ryan’s Neckless. She just sat there with her Head down acting both Angry and upset. There was a Piece of paper that had A Unicursal Hexagram on it, with the words “Let me Carry You”. Out of nowhere a Projectile goes throw the castle wall, and Zephyr stands up. Everyone was behind her except Ryan. Even a Shadowy figure was there. Kannell Casts Slowfall on everyone and they all glide down out of the hole in the wall and charge into battle.
Suddenly Ryan wakes up. It was 1:30pm in the afternoon. He woke up in this bed all alone and woke up scared from this Nightmare. He looks at the time and realizes he’s late for work. He runs downstairs and Zephyr was there wearing a Maid outfit cleaning some more.
“Why didn’t you wake me up!” He asked her with a Pissed off tone.
“Your Excused from work. I already talked to Them this morning and told them about last nights attack. I told them you almost died and needed a day Off honey” Zephyr said in a depressed tone.
“Oh alright. Sorry for yelling at you. Look I want to head out there and go assist them with the project Anyway. Zephyr I want to give you something for trying to save me last night. Look I don’t love you still, but you gained Massive respect from me” He told her while taking off his neckless. He puts it on her and gives her a kiss on the cheek. She smiles a little bit and then gets back to work cleaning her new home.
Ryan walks outside and looks at the backyard. There appears to be Black and scorched earth in the backyard. There was a huge blast zone, and a weird cloud in the Sky. The cloud was a Skull and Crossbones, With an Exclamation Point in the middle of the Crossbones and it looked out of place. It was just hovering in the distance in a Blue sky with no other clouds Near it. It was just hanging over this area.
He looked around and didn’t see the goth Girl anywhere around. She did some extreme damage with that spell and there was no way she could have made it by looking at this 20-yard blast zone.
He walks over to a tree to take a piss, and when he pulls down his pants, he notices something.
Above his man hood was the words “Property of Zephyr Sentry Thickmane No Trespassing!” Carved into his skin with a knife. With Dried blood protruding from the cuts. He sees this and gets pissed off.
“Oh, that Sneaky little Shameless bitch!” Ryan yells.
He stomps inside angry and throws open the door and grabs her by the arms and pins her face first into the wall angrily.
“What Is this!” He said while dropping his pants in front of her.
“Honey this is turning me on” She said with a flirtatious tone, and with a smile.
“No Why would you do this while I was dead?!” He asked her very pissed off.
“Because I wanted to show the other woman you may go around and bang who your master is” She said with a devious smile.
“Ugg I can’t believe you!” He screamed at her while letting her go.
She puts her hand on it, and smiles at him. “You look stressed you want me to take care of that?” She asked in a Caring Horney tone.
“No Fuck off! Wait Well Maybe… tonight??? Ugg I don’t know! Wait No fuck that shit! I’m pissed at you now!” He told her experiencing all four stages of a Bipolar Anger episode
She Leans her head in and kiss’s his manhood and says, “I will see you tonight!” To his Junk. She then twirls away her body with a devious smile on her face.
Ryan then pulls up his pants, and then Pulls her to him and Bits her Neck again and squeezes her boobs and walks away.
“Oh, you fucking asshole!” She screamed back at him as he goes outside.
Excited, annoyed and Horny she lays her back against the white wall and slides down and sits on her butt. She grabs the neckless he gave her and kiss’s it. And holds it to her heart.
She also looks at the feather Duster that was in her hand and gets a Dirty idea. But She decides not to do it. She just gets to work and cleans up her drunk investment.
Meanwhile Ryan caught a ride on of his coworkers who were coming back from a Supply Run.
“So, I heard you fought like hell last night” His coworker said.
“Ya, I did. I died actually” He said to him.
“Oh, what is that like?” the 24-year-old white man with light brown hair asked.
“Its Scary. You see this big blue screen that says your you lost connection to your body, and then you spawn into your Goddess’s Throne room to be Revived” He told him.
“Wait did you have purgatory on?” The man asked Ryan.
“Yes, I did, Or I wouldn’t be talking to you” Ryan Replied.
“Ok. So, what did Bunnell look like?” The man asked Ryan.
“Oh, I didn’t see Bunnell. I saw this amazing Goddess named Arcadia. She was very caring and cool.” Ryan replied back.
“Wait there is a 3rd Goddess?” He asked him seeming shocked.
“Yes, there is, you may have not heard of her but shes there” Ryan Replied to him
“I’m tired of all these damn Bunnellian Clerics shoving perfection down my throat. Do you have any more info on her?” He asked him.
“Not Really, Why whats wrong with Bunnell? I’m honestly not aligned with anyone right now. I’m kind of Ironically Agonistic” He told him.
“Ha-ha that’s funny, Bunnell would send you to the “Wyoming Void” for saying that. He said while playfully punching him.
“But it’s true, I don’t know if what I saw was a player stuck in a god room, or an Actual goddess stuck in a God room. No one can be sure” He told him.
“Ahh you used the word “Player”, you must be a new guy who just came to this world” He said cheerfully.
“Yes I am. Thank you for noticing that” Ryan Replied to him.
“Ahh we are a Starter town after all. But Recently less and Less New people have been coming through the portals for some reason. Its Kind of weird. I heard stories where this world used to be flooded with 45,000 people a day, then something happened. People stopped coming through, and we had to start adapting to doing things ourselves around here” He told Ryan.
Ryan was thinking really hard about this man. “This NPC sure does seem to be very self-aware” He thought to himself.
“Was it due to War?” he asked the man.
“I don’t Know. Legend has it there are only like 200 “Players” Left in this world” He told Ryan with a Dark tone to his voice.
“Ya I heard from Arcadia about great wars in the history books. Could you explain to me about all those wars?” He asked him seeming curious.
“Ahh yes but which ones? There are like hundreds of them that have gone on here. We had the great war of year one that we Bunnellians lost due to Small Tit Yulee, then there was the battle of Year 100 that saw the rise of Yulee using Demons as soldiers, then we had the war of 150 where we fought over a mountain, that was pretty pointless since no one has ever climbed it; even to this day. Then we had the “War of the Chicken” in 350, which started because some Idiot decided to kill a Sacred chicken, and shit got real”. He said while laughing.
“Then after 50,000 people died over the Chicken, we had another Great big war of 560 because Yulee came down and drunkenly Turned Dogs, Cats, and Foxes into human like creatures; something that she was able to do by using a curse from a Ware wolf. This caused Bunnell to freak out and she tried to annihilate every single one of them before they spread. This little prank led into another war since Yulee indoctrinated the Lyieku race as her own. Thousands upon thousands Yuleeians came to defend these Weird, yet cute little creatures. Yulee won that war, then with all the ground Bunnell lost, she managed to get her army back together again, and in 850 lead an Assault on The Capital city of the former Country of “Keven”. She came and Burned Yulee’s entire Capital Holy city and took the entire country we call Palmlandia now, back from her.
Then after that happened in 890 Yulee walked into the great city of “Athens” Sivika and Stole the towns Well Bucket and There was a bloodbath. This distraction of Sivika routed a lot of Bunnell’s troops to close in on her, but she didn’t expect this to be a trap. She Ordered her country to the South of Palmlandia which we call Wyozonia, to charge and take back the Palmlandia Empire. She Led a reckless bloody crusade and killed everyone who was not Yuleeian in that Massacre. There was even a Tragic battle that has been said occurred that made Vedra Get her fangs. I think it was called the “Rape of Berkut”. Anyway, after that battle was over and Yulee got her Capital Country of Palmlandia back, she hung the Stolen Well bucket that started that war in the Imperial Castle as a Big Middle finger gesture to Bunnell” He said to Ryan while laughing.

“Whoa, hang on there. Your Telling me Vedra Died, or in the case was TURNED because of a War over a Fucking bucket?” Ryan asked in Disbelief.
“Yep” He said with smile.
Ryan wanted to punch this man so hard right now for laughing at this Tragedy, but he Takes a Deep breath and Understands he Doesn’t know His Relationship with Vedra, so he lets this Slide.
“I don’t want to know anymore. This world is fucked up” Ryan replied to him in a pissed off tone.
The Two Ride in silence for 5 minutes, then the man wants to break the Ice again.
“But Tell me about This Arcadia girl, is she hot?” He asked seeming interested
“Yes she. But she is also a little weird. Her colors are Blue and Green, and shes very caring.” He told him.
“Caring like how? Is she like Bunnell? Do you do what she says, or she will smite you and your family in Submission? He asked him sarcastically.
“No, I don’t think shes like that at all. She was calm and Caring while she was taking caring of my Soul in her throne room. The best I can Describe her is Shes very nice, but at the same time Weird” He told him.
“Oh okay. Well I want out of this Bunnellian Sect. Do you know how I could join her if I wanted to?” He asked him seeming really interested.
“Hmm, try my Friend Zephyr, you know the house you just picked me up at? That’s where she lives. Shes aligned with her she may be able to convert you” He said with a smile.
“Oh alrighty. I’ll stop by there on my next load and talk to her” he said with a smile.
“I’m not going to Get my head put on a bounty for telling you about this am I?” He asked him cautiously.
“No, I want out. They treat me like shit over there. Its not like it used to be. I used to matter, but now they just see me as somone who will give Bunnell power, for some of her unjustified Antics, and Choices.” He said while Moving the horses to the side of the road to let a Horse and buggy go by.
“You see, I have to follow a whole lot of Stupid rules about what I eat, What I say, and what I wear, who I become friends with, and At the same time, She’s Really picky about what types of songs her Bards play in her army” He told him.
“Ahh Yes, the “devil’s music” will piss any holy Nut. Been there done that” Ryan said while laughing.
“Dumb Question, that weird device you have that plays music, are you a Bard yourself?” He asks Ryan with a smile.
“No not really, have you seen me on the jobsite? I’m a Fire mage” Ryan Responds back to him.
“Oh, I really never noticed. I am mainly stuck on Block making duty most of the time” He tells Ryan.
“Ahh alright. That makes sense. So dumb question, what class are you if I may ask?” Ryan said with a Smile.
“Don’t have one, I’m not much of a Fighter, I’m just a 27-Year-old Stonemason, who’s living life” He tells Ryan with an excited smile.
“Ahh, so I assume since you’re a Skilled Labouré the Church uses you for other things other than fighting” Ryan asked.
“Yep. They Generally send me around the World, and I help build Shrines, Temples, and help Maintain Roads, and Defensive Infrastructure; Like what we are doing now, for Bunnellian aligned Countries” He Responds to Ryan.
“So Dumb question what is your Name?” Ryan asked curiously.
“Name’s Kyle” he said while Reaching and to shake Ryan’s Hand.
“But anyway, Like I said Ryan, If I don’t follow the Norm, I will get harassed by the other members, Until I change my ways. Those Judgmental fucks Have pushed me over the edge. I mean Its Sad, there is even a Rule where Short people can’t join this Church and go to heaven with all of us when we die” He told Ryan.
“Wait They believe short people don’t go to heaven? Why is that??!”
“Because of the fact they are short, they are more acclimated to hell, due to them being a lot closer to it” He said while laughing.
Ryan bursts out with Laughter, and 3 minutes later he calms down and returns to normal.
“So dumb question what does Yulee offer if you wanted to join her?” He asked him.
“Ah I been thinking about going to the dark Side myself, and Yulee’s Requirements are super Relaxed, compared to Bunnell’s. Yulee wants you to Pray at least two times a day to her, she encourages wild crazy Sex, and She lets you do whatever the hell you want and live a fast-Crazy life. The only draw backs is that Her countries have the stupidest, and Highest Taxes in them. Like for example, the most north eastern State of the world is called Deland, and it is Pure Yuleeian, but it has a “Sin Tax” for Alcohol. Which is Ironic as hell” He said while throwing his hands up in disbelief.
Also, upon entry into the Church, you agree to the chance that in battle she may sacrifice you and use you as one of her Demons. But at the same time if you join her side you get an incredible power boost to your Spells. Or if you’re not a Caster, you get that Scary Critical Strike bonus they are Renowned for. But other than that. Her Clergy doesn’t care how you live, as long as you Pray to her everyday” he explained to Ryan.
“Hmm that’s interesting” He Told Kyle while looking at a temple in the Distance.
“Hey Kyle, Is that the Bunnellian Temple?” He asked while pointing at it.
“Yes, it is, Why?” Kyle Replied back.
Can you drop me off Over There? I’m not going to take you off Route, I’ll walk the rest of the way to it. I want to go check out the temple real fast just for Fun.” He asked him.
“Sure. But Hey, I am going to talk to Zephyr on my Return Trip back to my pickup and learn more about Arcadia, but if you ARE going to check that place out, Don’t Stare at the older blonde chick’s Breasts. She will go off on you” He told him jokingly.
“Alrighty, Thanks for the warning” He Told him as he dismounts from the Cart.
Ryan walks a quarter mile to a White Roman Temple. The building had 4 pillars in front of it and Had a Woman’s Statue in front of it. Examining the Statue, he looks it over and likes what he sees. Bunnell was depicted as a 40 something year old woman who had a Medium warrior Frame, with E cup boobs. Medium length Red Auburn hair with Super clean Bangs, and a Small Sized butt that didn’t match her frame. She had Yellow and White Armor on with a Sword and shield in Hand. On her 1 handed sword were the letters “WCAR” inscribed on the Hilt. Her shield had her Yellow and White Triquetra Insignia with the words “Gesturum Pondus” On her shield. The statue Resembled a lot Like his mother, except for the fact his mother had Blonde hair, not Red hair, Along with just a few different Facial Features. Also, this woman was a lot taller than his mother ever was. She stood at what looked like 6 foot 5 He likes what he sees and takes his phone and takes a picture of the Detailed Statue then Sets out to go into the Courtyard area of the temple.
When he gets inside it, he notices a Giant White and Yellow Triquetra Symbol out in front of the main doorway of the entrance. There were 4 Woman wearing Warrior Armor and who were talking to each other. When They see Ryan come into the Courtyard, they smile at him, and Swarm him like Hungry sharks.
“Welcome to Bunnell’s Temple! Are you a wanting to join us?” The woman said simultaneously like a whole bunch of Programed Robots.
“Sure, I’m Neutral right now. Tell me about your Religion First.” He asked them
“We all believe in Putting others First before ourselves, and we Believe in Bravery and Righteous. We are sworn to defeat all the evil Yulee stands for, and Also we believe in the cause to Protect others from harm, and also love one another so this world may be a better place.” The woman Tell him.
“Hmm, what are the lifestyle Requirements to join you guys?” He asked them.
“We require you to have a good healthy mind, and soul, be proactive in the community and not leech off others, and Also Donate some of your time, Effort and knowledge to the church so we may all grow and become Unstoppable against Yulee’s sinful Army. We also ask you to donate 10% Some of your earnings to the church, and be ready to give your life in Battle for The great Goddess Bunnell in times of war, for she will lead you to heaven, for your Bravery and sacrifice” She told him
He thinks hard to himself and with what Kyle told him about them, He Realizes they are Doing the whole “Suck him in with the Good things we stand for and let’s leave out the bad things until he joins” Tactic on him.
Suddenly Ryan wants to troll them a little bit.
“What do you think about Masturbation, Unmarried Sex, Drinking In excess, Low cut shirts, and Heavy music?” He asks them with a smirk on his face.
As soon as he asked about Masturbation, the youngest girl of the group broke the robot Act and smirked and looked like she was silently giggling.
“We STRONGLY Discourage All of those things. The oldest lady with the Big boobs told Ryan in an Angry tone While waving her finger up in the air. Ryan Does his best not to stare like how Kyle Warned him.
The youngest woman was obviously smirking still, she was questioning why she was here, and it was clearly visible.
“Alright, you got me sold. Let me Join this Faction” He told the Oldest Woman.
She smiles at him and leads him inside. But before he can go thought the Door an Electric magic force field stops him from going in and it Zaps him. This Hurts him and knocks him down on his back.
“Mother Fu……” Ryan screams, and Catches himself from cursing in front of these Clergy Woman.
He gets up and tries to go through the door again to only get zapped again.
This knocks him down and he gets up and scratches his head in frustration. He then Charges at the door gets zapped and makes it through the other side.
“I Never see that happen before? Are you Yuleeian? The eldest woman asked him.
“No ma’am. I’m Unaligned He tells her.
“Oh alright. Well that was Weird. Anyway, follow me to the alter and I will show you what you need to do” She tells him.
The woman makes him get on his knees and holds some Beads and chant something in Latin.
She teaches him How to make a Triquetra on his chest and makes him chant a Saying.
“Dear Holy mother Bunnell, please accept me into your heart and guide me through your orders, so I may serve you in battle, and make this land better and protect it from small tit Yulee, Dues Vault”
When he said that, suddenly a Red flash of lighting Comes out of nowhere and smites Ryan and knocks him Down on his face. He gets up and More lightning bolts start coming down and striking him. This Gets annoying after the 6th time and he makes his way out the door. He hits the Force field again that Hits him with more surge of energy and Charges out of it. Once he was outside the temple running from these angry Red lightning bolts, he gets hit with a Black flash of lightning, and before him shows a piece of paper.
He picks it up and on it said “I DON’T FUCKING WANT YOU. ALSO WHY ARE YOU HERE, AND HOW DARE YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH SUCH A FILTHY DISGUSTING ANIMAL! I BEEN WATCHING YOU AND I DON’T EVER WANT YOU TO SHOW YOUR FACE AROUND ANOTHER ONE OF MY TEMPLES EVER AGAIN YOU FUCKING USELESS PEST”
The Eldest Cleric takes the paper in his hand and reads it. The other 2 gather around it and Shoot him a Judgmental Look.
“Gah, I guess Bunnell doesn’t like the fact I was Raised on My Chemical Romance. Well I Shall get going” He said while awkwardly Putting his arm behind his head,
They all stood in formation Shot him their judgmental look. Ryan Feeling a little bit ballsy wants to do Something to this young girl whose questioning life right now.
He walks up to her and Gives her a quick kiss on the lips and says: “Follow what your heart Desires girl. Don’t get dragged down in Bullshit if you don’t want to be a part of it. Carry on and pursue what makes you happy.” he told her as her eyes glow with excitement. As soon as he did that the Eldest woman draws her sword and pushes Ryan off of her.
“You Get out off her! Don’t Touch Sydney and taint her with your Evil ways!” She shouted at him in an Angry tone while pointing her sword at him.
“Oh, another Sydney eh? The last Sydney I met was a Succubus. Well alrighty carry on. I’m going to go home and Jerk off and listen to “Devil music”. Enjoy your Day ladies” He said in a trolling like manner.
He walks away and puts on the song “Thank you For the Venom” by My Chemical Romance. Sydney the Cleric was happy and smiling at him. He turns around and they look at each other in the Eyes and feel a connection. Suddenly he gets struck by another Black flash of lightning, and it Knocks him on his ass. Below him was a piece of paper that said, “I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING, DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!”
Suddenly he gets a message on his phone. He pulls it out and reads it.
“Your Fuck boy skill has increased to 15!”
“Oh, Come on!” He shouts in annoyance
He brushes this bit of shame off and starts walking into the town. He was secretly pissed this Bitchy goddess didn’t accept him into her order. He was going to need her to kill Yulee, but She was judging him like how his mother would judge him when she was around him.
He looks down at him and sees a small human Heart Shaped badge the size of his Index Finger. He picks it up and takes the safety pin that was on the back of it and Pins it to his left sleeve above his shoulder.
As the song played his mood changed as the song convinced him of something else
He knows he could Join Arcadia if he wanted to, but her stat bonus’s are weak as hell, except for the New moon OP spell she has; that she can only give once a month. But she wasn’t enough to kill Yulee and get Alexandria into the game so he could get that 1 chance he hoped for to live again. Hell, shes sounds like a pacifist with her Agnostic belief’s, and the Neutral Contracts both of them made her sign. He felt semi depressed and alone now. He wanted to Cry but Decides he will get his Frustration out through Work.
