After I logged out from Dream World Online, i checked the forum again. I could see the view of new post, people who had already logged in sharing their picture and experience from the game.

“damn you people, you get to enjoy your time as newbie in peaceful village and hunting zone. As for me there’s a fucking giant dragon at my starting point”

I was cursing my own damn luck, as I’m scrolling the screen down. It was then when I saw the deserted chat room I joined last time. How could I know? Well the  title of that chat room was easy to remember “asdfghjkl;’” it as if the person who created that chat room just dragged his finger when he made it. Only two people online, I think that grandfather person only there to find a guardian for his granddaughter before.  So he won’t be there this time. I decided to joined that chat room again.

“Yo Arlon, have you tried to logging in?” Ruka was the first to greet me.

“Well, I tried to log in but I died right after that. What about you?”

“No :’(, Iris was preventing me from logging in to DWO until 12:00 AM, she had just left. Does something happen there?”

That related to development person?

“Yeah, I don’t really know what’s happening. But there is a monster running havoc in the village”

“what a wonderful bad luck you have there” Rei joined our conversation

“IKR. How was your starting point Rei, Any luck there?” I tried to ask him

“Mine was pretty normal, the newbie was hunting rabbit and dog everywhere. Some was walking around the village and taking quest, talking to NPC, looking around and all” how nice to picked a peaceful starting point. “But then the device was being turned off by my cousin, asking me to run an errand” must be a pretty annoying cousin you have there. “ So what monster did kill you?”

“A giant-sized black dragon, the system say that it was a boss-type monster. Any information about it?”

“Nope, but usually a dragon was a high-leveled monster and---  ops! I have to go now, good luck with your dragon-hunter village” he just add the hunter with dragon, but somehow it sounded fitting.

“You guys are ignoring me” Ruka come out of nowhere.

“Sorry, so what do Iris say other than that?”

“She say to search for a cave later, if we can meet some soldier around the village we could ask them to take us there”

That Iris person seem to know a lot about what happening there. Is she really just a person who related to the game development? If she was, aren’t it will be bad for her to giving us these information?

“How could you trust her? Do you guys know each other?” my doubt was getting bigger and bigger

“No, we only know each other online. She seem to be a nice person and she explained a few thing about the game to us”

Such a strange reason she had there.

“well I still had my death penalty, I’ll logging in again around that time” there’s only the two us remaining I don’t think that I’ll get any information from Ruka. “I had thing that I must do too now, see you in the game later” I send my goodbye word to the chat room.

“Twenty-three minute remaining until my death penalty ended, I wonder what must I do” I decide to just lie down on my bed. I could still remember the feeling when my body was crunched by that black dragon, it was horrible. But remembering that won’t do any good. As time passed by, I could hear the tick-tock sound from the clock.

“Where am i?”

It was night. I could see a village being destroyed by a monster. The house and building was getting burned, people causing ruckus trying to escape from there. Even though the sun had already gone, the monster’s blazing fire made it as bright as day. When I tried to focus my view on that monster, I could see a black giant creature. Wait, it was the very same monster that killed me back then. The Black Dragon!

“oh shit! He saw me”

I tried running away from that monster, but it was too late. A giant shadow had already covering the area around me before I know it. I could hear the dragon roaring right above me,

“it  bad, go away from me!” I was very terrified, the creature has pitch black scale covering it body, it claw length almost reached  four meter, Even it height a almost fucking reached twenty-two meters. It’s has a pair of shining black eyes on its face. And the most terrifying thing was the fact that his mouth was as big as an airplane. What’s more His mouth was coming toward me.

“No!!”

I opened my eyes, my body was sweating. I could feel my clothes are drenched with sweat. I decide to take another bath. “It was a dream” I muttered to myself, to think that monster will chasing me into my dream.  After finished bathing I checked the clock, “around one minute before my death penalty ended, I should enter the device now”
