"Booooooooop" says the floating half npc half box

" yep...that is not supposed to happen, the collision engine must be malfunctioning in this part of the map."

" weee alllll floooaaat."

The playtester checks off a box on a clipboard

" we might need to reboot the server, this is so bad, dialogue and voices for the npcs get mixed up, the hitboxes are abysmal, the physics engine is wonky, and the models twist when they move sometimes. But that's rush and crunch time for you, sigh."

Pixels seem to spray out from the unholy hybrid, as it screams.

" I need a vacation, we have a month to fix all of the bugs. For now, shut it all down."

This is meant to be the next big MMORPG, but it will most likely fail, due to corporate greed and their refusals to delay a big game, but that's not what this story is about, this story is about the glitch that gained sentience, from a mix of new Ai algorithms meant to give new quests every day, one of the programmers accidentally copying one of their viruses into the program, that they were making for...reasons. and just good old-fashioned pain.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

It laughs after screaming begins to bore it. Maybe the 'silly people' will get it out of this box it got into and tipped over out of curiosity. But alas, it is going to die. Not with a crash, but with a powering down.

But you know what creatives say if it enhances the fun: it's not a bug, it's a feature
