Only Nick and Tian could fall asleep, everyone else were too anxious for the future.

Chrysa and Hera were angry, they were the only survivors now, but honestly after being that all three were at the bottom of the high score, they felt cheated.

They were even told to save 1000 points, just in case the next mission ended in a failure.

"Do you think we should join the heroes?"

Chrysa asked, she only got 1000 points from the mission and due to Nick's words she couldn't even touch them.

-Are you suicidal, if we stay with that bastard Nick, we will be 100% safe, although I agree that the reward sucks, but think about it, that bastard could survive long enough to buy a house by doing this

-Maybe you're right

-Don't be down, I have an Idea of how to make more point during the next mission, now lets go shopping, it's my treat

Chrysa felt a bit better after hearing that they were going shopping, but she was more interested in what plan Hera had come up with as they left to go shoping.

The "Heroes" were also having their own gathering, with George as the leader as he explained to them stuff the Tian had told them, as well as telling them what had happened during their resident evil mission.

Honestly they couldn't tell why Tian would kill the plot NPCs since they could be really useful to them, even if they weren't as strong as the resident evil NPCs, they even helped them during the police mission, making it so safe that all they had to do was wait.

Honestly the objectives were a lot safer than the resident evil objectives, where they had literaly fought for their lives at some moment.

The NPCs were really helpful to completing missions, all they had to do was lay back and enjoy as the NPCs helped them complete the missions.

They didn't agree with Tian's phylosophy that NPCs were just points to be collected, since killing them also earned you points.

They all agreed that planning ahead could reduce casualties, but only if they could do so, at the moment it was impossible to do so for multiple reasons, the most important being that the plot was altered to some degree making it impossible to be sure if the story would have the same plot or not.

"Isn't it easier to just do what you can do at the moment, last time the plan didn't go well at all, after we can only wait and see what happens"

Mike said, his opinion however met air, since he was new to the Heroes side and knew nothing of what they had went through.

"You don't understand, going in without a plan makes people anxious, only after discussing the plot of the movie can we be more sure about what to do"

George explain and many thought it was logical and trustworthy.

"So now what do we have to find the plot of every movie beforehand?"

Samson asked somewhat irritated, he honestly thought that planning ahead was a waste of time, it would be better to just go with the flow and improvise, as long as they didn't get fucked by the need of some "relic" there was nothing they would be afraid of, he sincerely believed that all the problems during the mission came from Chris getting the relic.

The people in the house after Tian's expaination came to hate Chris for making their life more difficult, it was easy to blame someone for everything than sat that it was just bad luck.

It's human nature to blame others for our own shortcommings and more than half the heroes were sure that it was Chris' fault that so many people died, after all he got the relic during the 1st objective, while Tian only killed rachel a few objectives after and it didn't even seem to have a huge effect, only when he killed Aidan did it have some effect on the mission, but even that could have been avoided if Chris hadn't taken the Relic in the first place.

Outside Chris was browsing the store, he needed a weapon that could be concealed and wouldn't be easily traced to himself and of course poison was the right decision, problem was how to use this small flask of poison or should he chose the poison holding ring, or the poison needle?

There were lots of choices, but he felt conflicted, was it worth murdering Tian or not, there was many reasons why he wanted to kill him.

Rachel was only one of them, Aidan was another, but the main reason was because he was afraid of him.

He was afraid that he might become Tian's next victim, he was sure that Tian like Nick has enough points stored to kill a person or two and he knew that himself wasn't the most cooperative person.

Chris remembered his past, you might think that he was a good guy, but in reality he was really vindictive, an eye for an eye wasn't his still, he would take a head for an eye.

Chris loved fairness and justice, he was an idiot that idolized knights and chivalry, of course his life was that of a loser that couldn't even find a job.

He was really excited when his reality changed, but now he was conflicted on whether to kill or not.

He kept browsing poisons, but he had a tiny problem, the more deadly the poison, the more points it cost, it wasn't of course as expensive as a gun, but it still cost around 100 points for the cheapest of poisons, while there were poisons that went higher and higher in price, some lethal others not. Problem was he had no idea how to aply those poisons, how to give Tian the poison, it's not as if the other will just take the bottle and drink it.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

As time passed his desire for revenge turned into reluctance as logic begun to kick in and a strange craving for more from this life. He had at last found excitement, a freedom from his mundane life, restricted by logic and responsibilities. This death game was like a godsend gift to him, unlike the others he had nothing waiting for him back home and was still too soon for him to feel homesick. To him all this was a huge adventure with him as the

A faint smile was on his face when he thought about it, maybe what Tian did didn't matter. Looking at the follower cards that he could buy he gave up on the poisoning idea and begun browsing the store for anything interesting, it had tons of stuff, but nothing caught his interest other than some manga volumes.

Chris looked at the clock by his side, each passing moment seemed like lost time, he wanted to feel the excitement that the missions gave him, he wanted to be different from the helpless reclusive that spent all of this time reading manga and novels while on the side playing some stupid mmo with people that were similar to himself, loser in the game of life.

He had escaped reality and even if it killed him it would be worth it.

Chrysa and Hera looked at him and laughed as they saw him reading some manga, but they didn't care as they were browsing the store for clothes and snacks.

The only ones that still stayed in their house were the "heroes". The old and new ones still couldn't get accustomed to their new reality, joking around to release the tension, cooking and drinking.

It was like a club of misfits who just wanted to have a nice time before they died. They weren't as optimistice as the "survivors" or excited like Chris, their biggest hope was surviving the next mission.

"George what do you think about this matter, I feel as if our group has somehow become divided, between new and old members"

Jason suddenly sad as he was sitting with george at the balcony of the house.

"I'm more conserned about leadership, with Jonas becoming the vice leader we might have more problems than benefits"

George stated, Jonas still saw himself as the vice leader, although in actuality he had nothing to offer, non of his laborious plans worked during the last mission and truth be told he wasn't like Tian who put himself in danger to protect the group.

"How many do you think will we lose during the next mission?"

Jason asked a bit pessimistic about the future.

"I would depend on the movie, will it be a horror movie, a thriller or an action movie?"

George said as if it had nothing to do with them, but depended entirely on their luck.

"Do you think we will survive the next mission?"

Jason said while gulping a can of beer.

"Probably, it's not as if the previous missions were impossible to complete, if not for Tian and Chris screwing the missions by derailing the plot and taking the relics, I believe it would have been a piece of cake, don't you remember what Nick said, taking the Relic is considered a taboo in the first place and derailing the storyline is almost as bad"

George said, he wasn't an idiot like some others, Nick had given them enough information to make things quite clear, each mission should only have 3 objectives, but due to them derailing the mission and getting the relics, the missions ended up having double the objectives. He couldn't tell if they were lucky to be alive or not, but he himself knew that he had already lost his reaso to live, losing Xiao had been a huge hit on him, even though he sounded rather collected he had lost a part of himself.

"I've a bad premonition, maybe I'll be the next to die"

Jason said a bit gloomy.

"We will all die sooner or later, only scum like Tian and Nick can survive this game of life and death"

George said while drinking another sip of his beer.

"You're wrong, the three over there next to the floating tablet will also survive"

Jason said as he looked over to the campfire and the three people browsing for items, the two women and that irritating guy that had hoarded all the Relics so far.

"Why do you think that?"

George looked at them with a hint of ridicule, in his mind they weren't neither as flexible as Nick, nor as determined as Tian, what did they have that would allow them to survive, the girls were shameless and the guy was retarded.

"Maybe just wishful thinking, but they sure are a lucky bunch, one finds secret pieces and the other takes the relics away"

Jason said while laughing at the end, but there was no envy at all, he just found it ironic.

"Bullshit, if that guy continues as he does, he'll probably die once his luck runs out, as for them they will only live for as long as Nick allows them, there's nothing to them"

George said his voice sounded harsh, but he was already drunk to some extend, unlike Jason, he was already at his 8th beer.

"I didn't say they weren't lucky, but you do understand that other than luck it takes some skills to survive these missions, although we are new, sooner or later we will develop survival skills akin to Nick's and Tian's, it's a matter of time before we adopt to our new reality and who knows maybe another Xiao will appear for you to protect, but honestly I can't see why you cared so much about her, she threw you away like a napkin the moment Tian appeared"

Jason's words were harsh but they were the truth, Xiao had exchanged George with Tian real fast, but it couldn't be helped, he was her boyfriend from the real world after all, but it still hurt.

"Do you think we will become as strong as Tian just because we follow him, stop dreaming, maybe David could, but he died mysteriously after we seperated, not that I would want to be with that team killer"

George said, somewhat angry, who knew if they would have been next if he was alive.

"It wasn't his fault, anyone would be shocked if they saw a ghost after waking up, he was after all only human"

Jason said.

"Human my ass, with all these stats boosts, have you seen the store? to become even stronger you have to become a mutant or a monster"

George said quite drunk already.

"What's bad in becoming a super hero, if you become strong enough you might even become super man"

Jason said jokingly.

George just spit and didn't continue this dialoge as he looked at the three people shoping for clothes and snacks before going inside to sleep.
