* * * Maze troll/ Troll king POV * * *
"Man this is way too easy, even though I enjoy trolling people it gets boring when you do this for months. 'sigh' I just wish that something more interesting can happen, what do you think I should do Melinda" (Maze troll) I turned to the blue floating ball that was beside me, right now i'm in a restaurant eating some steak.
"Well I don't know, you can go to the system world and possibly unlock some new powers." (Melinda)
" HA! you're hilarious, did you forget what I did to the system world, the next time I go there I will get thrown in prison for years." (Maze troll)
"Well you should have thought of that before you decided to make a maze in the middle of the system world, and if you apologize, you might be pardoned." (Melinda)
"ME apologize! NEVER!!! The troll king will never apologize, even if it kills me, I will never do it." (Maze troll)
"Your loss 'sigh' Hm! I think someone's close to the maze core" (Melinda)
"That's impossible, It's only been like what, 10 minutes. There is no way someone could have cleared one of my mazes in such a short amount of time" (Maze troll)
"Well look at your tablet, then you will see wether i'm lying or not." (Melinda)
I then quickly took a look at my tablet, and I did see the whole map of the maze, and there were 2 red dots slowly approaching the maze core. 'nah it can't be'
"it might be just a coincidence" (Maze troll)
"Let's keep looking" (Melinda)
After a few more minutes the two red dots were actually getting closer and closer to the maze core, it was like if they knew the way. (They do know the way)
"OH NO! we can't let them complete the maze this quickly, I have a reputation to hold." (Maze troll)
"You know you can make a few 'changes' to the maze right now" (Melinda)
"Huh? Oh yeah, I forgot I even have this ability. I never had a good reason to use it, until now, MUAHAHAHAHAHA!" (Maze troll)
"Don't do that laugh again, it's terrible and creepy in its own way" (Melinda)
I then quickly began to furiously tap on the tablet with all 10 fingers, I've never done this before, because I could potentially kill someone, and I don't wanna be labelled as a murderer. But if I don't do this, then my reputation as an annoying 'maze troll' will go in shambles, I would much rather be labelled as a murderer, than a reputation of a failed troller.
* * * Loki POV * *
This is gonna be easier than I thought, as soon as I get out of here I can finally go to the system world without alerting Angel. Not only that but I will also win the bet with Angel.
We were both currently following the route of the map on my phone, we did run into some hooligans on the way, but they were quickly killed by Angel. We are almost there, I estimate that we should be there in a minute, or less.
"We're almost there Angel" (Loki)
"Yeah yeah sure" (Angel) looks like Angel doesn't believe in me, I did find it kinda weird that Angel hasn't noticed that my phone is still working in here, maybe he chose to ignore it, I don't know.
'RUMBLE'
The huge rumbling noise came back, but this time the metal walls were moving in every direction. I didn't expect this, then suddenly a huge wall appeared between me and Angel, we were split up. Then I could feel that the ground that I was standing on was moving. It did move and the ground and I was in a different place than where I was.
After a few minutes, the rumbling stopped and everything was quiet again. I checked the Map app on my phone, I saw the huge maze was different, the core to the maze was further away than where I was. I knew that it wasn't a coincidence that the huge maze moved just before I reached the maze core. It was definitely the work of the 'Maze troll'
I could see Angel on the map, he was pretty far from my direction, it wasn't hard to find him because me and Angel were the only blue dots here, the rest of the dots were red, and the maze core was yellow. It will be dangerous if I go alone in this maze without the protection of Angel, so I found it easier to avoid the red dots and choose a new route.

I still planned to finish the maze, so I can get out of here.
Then suddenly an idea popped out of my head, 'now that Angel is gone, I can freely go to the system world.' With Angel gone I can go to the system world without alerting him.
"Take me to the system world" (Loki) I said to 'unkown user'
Ding!
Are you sure!
"Yes"
Okay then.
Soon after my body was covered in a blue light and I quickly was teleported in another world. 'oh wow' I thought. The whole place looked so cool, even better than Jay city. It was dark but all the lights were on and it looked so cool, it looks like christmas, where everyone buys their lights and turns it on when it's dark.
Ding!
Don't admire the view too much, you better hurry back.
"why" (Loki)
Ding!
Did you forget your bet with Angel.
"OH CRAP! you're right, tell me where can I buy some weapons and stuff" (Loki)
Ding!
What am I, a tour guide, just go to the system city and figure it out yourself. But I would suggest to buy some armor and phone chips. And some stamina potions.
I quickly went to the city, and I luckily found a place where they sold armor, I decided to use 200,000 cyo for armor and potions. And then I will spent 300,000 cyo on phone chips. I decided to buy 3 silver ranked phone chips, since each one costs 100,000 cyo each. And a gold one costs about 1,000,000
i quickly bought some bronze rank armor and some bronze rank potions which cost about 10,000 cyo each piece. I bought a bronze ranked chestplate, and a helmet which costed me 20,000 cyo for the both of them. I didn't buy a whole set because it was too heavy for me to carry, so I used the rest of the money on stamina potions, and speed potions. I bought 10 stamina potions which costed me 100,000 cyo and 8 speed potions, which costed me 80,000.
In total I spent 200,000 cyo, and I had 300,000 cyo left. It was just enough for me to buy 3 silver ranked phone chips. I went into this store that had this huge sign named 'system works' I found this store thanks to the help of the man whom I bought all these things that I mentioned early.
I entered the store, and I was met with a little robot, it looked funny with that big head and small body.
"Good morning Mr Loki Luz, I am rob (Lolz, what an original name) I guess you're here for our phone chips, please follow me'' (Rob) I was led by this robot to another room upstairs.
As we both went upstairs I got curious and asked Rob, '' How did you know my name, I don't remember ever mentioning my name here." (Loki)
"The master has enlisted the names and faces of every single system user in my memory chip. That is why I know your name." (Rob)
Soon after, Rob led me to this room that had a lot of devices, all of them were at least silver ranked. I was then eyeing the phone chips that were inside a clear glass. "This is the where we keep our phone chips, how many do you want" (Rob)
"I want 3 silver ranked phone chips please." (Loki)
Rob then took out 3 silver phone chips and handed them to me, after checking them I gave Rob 300,000 cyo and left the store eagerly to try out my new phone chips, hopefully I got something strong.
Soon after I left the shop I sat on a bench that was beside the shop, and quickly inserted my new phone chip
Ding!

"Alright I'm ready, take me back to Jay city." (Loki)
Ding!
I suggest you wait a little bit, there is something you must do before you leave.
"well,what do you want me to do" (Loki)
Ding!
There is a job that you need to take. It'll make you rich.
"Which job is it, tell me. don't leave me guessing here." (Loki)
Ding!
This job .......(picture of a poster)
''You've gotta be kidding me" (Loki)
Ding!
Nope! do you accept!
"HELL YEAH" (Loki) Only a fool would pass on an opportunity like this.
