Captain Flipper had been cautiously making his way to the treasury chamber, wary of any traps that might still be set up. But when he and his crew finally arrived, he was relieved to find that the coast was clear. The traps had been disabled, and no ghostly apparitions had attacked them.

As he made his way through the chamber, Flipper couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation growing inside him. He had been dreaming of the treasure that lay ahead for days now, and he was eager to finally get his hands on it.

But as he entered the dungeon boss chamber, his excitement turned to anger and disbelief. Half of the treasure was gone, leaving only a few scattered coins on the floor.

"What the hell is this?!" Flipper cried out, his voice echoing through the chamber.

His crew looked around in confusion, trying to make sense of what had happened. But Flipper was too angry to explain.

He tossed his hat to the ground and stomped on it, his rage boiling over. "That's it! I'm done with this stupid game!" he yelled.

And with that, he logged out, leaving his crew behind to pick up the pieces and try to make sense of what had happened.

As Lucas sat in front of his computer, his mind raced with thoughts of betrayal and anger. Who had taken his treasure? Could it be the NPC who defeated him and stolen his ship?

But as he calmed down, he realized that he was being foolish. This was just a game, after all, and he had been playing it for fun. There was no need to get so worked up over something that wasn't even real.

With a deep breath, Lucas logged back in, determined to start over and try again. But this time, he would do things differently. He would play smarter, and he would be more careful about who he trusted.

As he re-entered the game, he felt a sense of renewed energy and excitement. This was his chance to start fresh, and to prove to himself and to his crew that he was still a force to be reckoned with.

And who knew? Maybe he would even find some new friends along the way.
