Sorry guys forgot to post yesterday , therefore a double chapter awaits you today.
...........................
A few hours after he talked with the doctress a helmet , a computer and some other neccesitys were delivered to his ' hospital ' room. She herself carried some of the equipment inside of the room and Daniel decided to help her with it.
" No you don't need to ... " She told Daniel.
But with a fake smile he did it anyways and started to set up everything he needed in a orderly fashion. Cables were twirled together with cable binders and neatly arranged at the computers back.
Usually he was quite a slob but when it came to computers he was a neat freak. But even though he arranged everything to his likeing he felt disatisfied.
" You doctress , get me a Razor XXXX mouse and keyboard. I also want a second monitor and a headset. Oh while we are at it , seeing as i am going to be around for a while and you are in direct violation of the genver convention of human rights i want a contract of employment. " Daniel stated non-chalantly after he started up the computer.
Again she was baffled by his behaviour but soon started to speak.
" What kind of contract? " She asked suspiciously.
Daniel stopped in his tracks and turned around to view her. In his eyes there was disbelief and a slight hint of ridicule towards the doctor at this question that in his eyes appeared stupid.
" ... * sigh* I want a contract that brings me 5000 euros a month , stating everything will be held confidentional from my side. I won't tell the media or any other person on this world what happend to me because of the game. " He said with another non-chalant tone.
" Why would we do that? " She asked trying to provoke him.
" Well now i want 10000 Euros a month because of another stupid question. "
The doctress became even angrier at his ridiculing tone and she bit down hard on her normally smooth lips that had been rough and dry for a while now due to overworking herself and what little sleep she got.
" If you are implying you could send a email to the right sources through that computer you are wrong. There is a .. " She started but was interrupted.
The doctress was barely able to catch a cellphone sized metal device that came flying towards her face. She first eyed the device and then the male with wide eyes telling him of the disbelief she had.
" 15000 Euros now. You meant the device that will block all outgoing data at a certain rate , even blocking emails or chat functions of internet browsers but still allowing free data flow of the game? Coincidentally the device you are holding? " Daniel said with a victorious grin.
" Oh and by the way i already wrote a traceable email to a direct newspaper publisher about 300 meters away from here which holds a short story about a MEGA fantastic front liner. Just need to click enter now and all will be done. " An even brighter smile appeared on his face.
Especially the disbelief and complete perpelexity that was visable inside of her eyes made him smile a warm smile he normally wouldn't show to anyone. Some would say sarcastic remarks and ridiculing are the only thing that could humour him to some extent.
" So , hurry my little doctress , before my finger becomes so heavy from all the drugs that i accidentally press the enter button. "
She almost ripped her lab coats pocket apart as she grabbed her cellphone and pressed a speed dial button. For a few seconds she stepped out and returned with a gaze of hatred inside of her eyes.
" Sorry if i got you in trouble , especially with all the guards pointing there guns at me , but i also want something out of this. By the way don't look so ill tempered just intensifies the wrinkles around your eyes. " He said non-chalantly.
" I am 21 i don't have wrinkles! " She shouted at him and the guards started to laugh and Daniel joined them as well.
A few minutes passed and Daniels index finger was still hovering over the enter button but he couldn't take the silence anymore.
" Hey guards how about you take all the guns down and i stop hovering over this little trigger here and we just wait for the legal process to be completed? " Daniel offered in a dead pan tone.
" Even i wan't to gain something out of this and its definetly better then to keep doing plumbing in a construction job. Especially since i will earn enough here in 1 month to cover a whole year with my old job. " He continued.
Slowly the guards took there guns down and Daniels finger left the enter button. But as soon as his finger was a few centimeters away a guard tensed his muscles which Daniel saw from the corner of his eyes.
" Easy there boy , if you tense up i will tense up and by accident press the button. I'll die and you will all go to jail a life time does that sound good to you? Im not afraid of dying better then be drugged for the rest of your life or imprisoned. Oh or like me both at the same time!" Daniel said non-chalantly.
The guard took down his weapon and Daniels finger was now placed on the mouse instead of the keyboard. He could still press send within a half of a second but the guards couldn't know that.
" Hey doctress come over here. " Daniel said not turning his attention from the screen.
She slammed her feet on the floor everytime she took a step , clearly her anger was evident but Daniel couldn't care less.
" WHAT! " She yelled at him.
" Stop ruining your high-heels if you keep trashing around like a elephant in a porcelain shop they will break of. Not that it matters to me of you hurt yourself but it would be a shame to ruin those pradas. " Daniel replied being stuck to the screen.
Her face was flushed red out of anger and animosity and she was considering to strangle him despite his warning to bring them all into jail.
" What happend in the 16 months game time that i haven't played? Update me. " Daniel demanded.
Now she saw what he was looking through. It was news and tips about the > Other World < , but this data was limited to the ' casual ' players. No pro gamer that wanted to earn money with the game gave out any tips or information for free.
" 2 weeks in-game time ago someone reached level 100. The second placed is about lvl 98 and the third is at lvl 75. Gaps increase , new skills appeared among various other things. Player Familys or what you would call guilds have been created. A few kingdoms have declared war and one kingdom has been occupied by another. " She told him this and numerous other data that should be confidentional.
But after all this was something like the european HQ for the > Other World < and well , this was more like a hostage and terrorist situation. Him being the terrorist.
" Hmmmm ... Anything that you can say what happend to my game avatar? " He asked after she finished.
" What do you mean? " The doctress was confused.
Another one of these gazes that asked the doctress if she really had any intelligence inside of her hit her and she felt more anger rise inside of her. But he sighed and continued normally.
" I did it once , i can most likely break the game again. After all i shouldn't be able to go beneath 0 Stamina and i was -530. Got any clue about how that happend? " Daniel tried once again.
She fidgeted around while she kept throwing some words none would have ever heard at his heard but he intently listend.
" Judging by the words that come from old Latin that you just told me , you conclude it can't happen again and that it had to do something with my defective dna? " Daniel wrapped her 15 minute speech up into a few words that left her staggering.
" Good so what would happen if i break it again by accident , of course. " He said that with a victorious smile.
" Nothing .... we took that reboot out of the system and made another barrier in the virtual world to prevent a case of reflux to the real bodys. " She told him while gritting her teeth.
Daniel put his left hand to his lips and started to stare beyond the screen he was just looking at. After 10 seconds he resumed his ' light chatter '.
" Now let's say if , only if , i recreate the certain event inside of my head and break the theoretical limit on purpose , what will happen? "
" If you can , nothing would happen. Your stamina bar would just fill up naturally from a way lower point. " She concluded.
" So lets say , if i log out to go eat and take a shower , my health and stamin still regenerate during that time , correct? " Daniel was trying to make sure of a event that could be useful.
" Yes but why are you asking? " She asked confused.
" Well somehow i have to catch up , right? " He said and for the first time a real smile enveloped his lips.
Slight dimples framed his face as he smiled a toothy grin and his violet eyes beamed through-out the room. The doctress heart began to flutter incredibly at the sight and she was really picky about all of her past ' relationships ' . She never got to emotionally involved but even if she couldn't know about it yet she had already fallen for this mischevious emotion bundle.
.................
Another 30 mintues past and a secretary , judging by her appearance of a designer suit with a skirt and 3 cm highheels her framed glasses and her icy glare , entered the room.
" Here Mr. Olson , your legal form. Everything has been handled in it you just need to sign here , here and here. " She pointed on 3 different pages and put a pen before him.
Much to the dismay of the secretary he carefully read through all the paper work. It took Daniel another 15 minutes to read even the smallest of lines , but after all it was 40 pages long.
" Forget it. My terms your contract. Not your terms my contract , understood? " Daniel said non-chalantly and threw the papers behind him.
" First the monthly wage is acceptable with 30000 Euros , but there are extra conditions. Change my name and get me a new birth certificate. I know this company has more then enough power to do this. Same birthdate as my old one , don't care about the name but a spanish one would be the most believable judging by my appearance. "
" Get me a medical record as well stating i had a nasty wound on my head or a splinter in it or something. After this get a psychologist and let him write a letter that is saying that i am insane. Then i want the same doctor to write a judgment that i am not insane. Your company will take the one saying i am insane and i will safe guard the one saying i am sane. "
" Easily put i will be allowed to leave this ' hospital ' at my own leasure when ever i want and to wherever i want. Then even if i spill anything you can just laugh it off and wave around the insane certificate. "
" Now i will contract 3 different lawyers and leave a will behind that will be sent to every mayor media publisher on certain conditions along with my certificate that i am sane , glorified by a respected physcologist. "
" The conditions will be my death and a leak of a certain something we have all witnessed. So if nothing leaks and i die everyone will know about all this. Let your company handle the finer details. "
" Oh and before i forget this lady here ..... " Daniel waved towards the doctress.
" My name is Amy Rose. " The doctress said.
" This Lady Amy Rose , will still be employed by your company and this little incident of me getting control over the situation will be brushed under the carpet. She will be left out of my will and be made the only respectable personal of this ... establishment. Good everythings okay and settled bring over everything in 1 hour or i will press this little enter button here. "
" As well as i want a car to my new name , preferably a newer model of AUDI , and the back payment of 4 months transfered and ready with a new bank account by the time i sign the contract IN ONE HOUR. I will also be under Dr. Amy Rose direct supervision whenever she is at work. "
Now a full smile that everyone thought of it came from the depths of hell , even though it looked angelic , bloomed on Daniels face.
" Have fun see you in one hour. Oh i also want some fast food , preferably from Bojangles or KFC when i get the new contract. Thank you. " With a wave of his hand he dismissed the secretary that was flushed red with anger but she grabbed her cellphone from a pocket in her skirt and ran out of the hospital room.
A few seconds of silence quickly went by in the room while everybodys attention was solely turned towards Daniel who was still looking at the computer screen.
" HAHAHAHAHA. " He started to laugh.
" Look at this cat on youtube that does the hitler greeting ! HAHAHA . " He said while a joyful white persian cat did the said on the screen.
...........
" God this is the best thing that has ever happend to me! " Daniel said out loud while he signed the new contract exactly 45 minutes later.
He received a new passport , id , drivers license and other things after he signed the contract and had already sent a copy to 3 lawyers that would handle his will from now on with the script of sanity from a licensed physchologist.
You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
Daniel now started to munch on his order of Bojangles that consisted of a two piece meal with a chicken breast and thigh as well as 2 servings of mash potatoes with gravy.
" But really Daniel Carlos? Could you have been more generic? " He said between bites.
Daniel was slightly relaxed leaning back in his chair while he hooked up another monitor , his new mouse and keyboard to the computer. Amy was still completly baffled by the ingenuitity this man had displayed and wondered why he wasn't the worlds most feared con man.
" Why should i become a con man i don't want to hurt people. " He simply said after she had asked.
Even that he considered himself a normal person was out of Amy's direct grasp but she could only do one thing in this situation. Accept it.
" Dr. Rose , can you accompy me shopping tomorrow? I want some new clothes and after that i want to go have a drink. Naturally i will pay for everything. " He asked after he finished his meal.
After she nodded slightly still baffled by the situation he politely asked her to leave so he could finally do what ever he wanted. Play the game of course.
He just flopped down on his bed and put on the helmet that was meant for connecting to the game and instantly he heard the familiar buzzing sound even before Amy had left the room.
................
The feeling of weightlessness soon subsided and Angorod heard the chirping of birds and the lush splashing of a river nearby. He rotated his shoulder blades his legs and gripped his hands to test out if anything changed inside of the game.
His limbs and movemen abilitys were still the same but his skin and hair color had changed dramatically. It was now the same as in real life , this cursed bronze tone that didn't look like it was tanned ... more like the actual bronze alloy coating for different metals.
The green chains were still wrapped around his hands , arm , wrist leading all the way up to his shoulders. But now even his right leg had a chain around with small links. Angorod touched his teeth but they had also changed to something that should have been more human like.
" Show racial information. " Angorod said out loud.
Something has been placed inside of you a long time ago during your growth this allowed you to change your race.
Race: Idra
Idra are a long forgotten race and many bring them in corolation with mythical beasts , as they first appeared along with Dragons , Gryphons and other things. It is believed they were one of the first races to be born from the gods.
For a few hundred of years none of them have walked through the continents and are rumoured to have died out.
Racial Boni: They gain a +10 to defense due to their hard skin , which can change in a multitude of ways depending on the action the Individuals undertake.
They also are naturally stronger , nimble and more fit giving them a 10% increases in their STR , DEX and VIT stat.

With a critizing look Angorod looked down at himself and finally noticed that he could almost see his own knee , even though he had pants on. The leather boots he wore before were broken and his feet peeked through. His short only covered his arms up to the elbow.
It was strange but somehow Angorod felt he had grown incredibly during the time he had not been in this > Other world < but now a more urgent question remained. Where by the gods was he? He remebered running through a forest and he definetly was in one.
But on the other hand why were these trees here about 50 times bigger then he remembered. Just as he thought that a bird flew by that was easily as large as a truck.
Immediatly he flung himself into a nearby tree and crawled underneath its roots that lay bare and built a little cavern.
* tring*
A Quest has been given to you.
* tring*
You are trapped inside of a forest and don't know where you are.
Find a exit of this forest and gain knowledge why you are here.
Angorod saw this through his half closed eyelids and kept staring at the window that popped up. He immediatly gave his race change the fault to the dilema he was in , especially since he had no weapons and no armor.
But he also knew that wouldn't have helped him at all. Judging by the size of the bird that just flew by this area was filled with monsters way beyond his reach. Ontop of that his strength and speed stats were still halfed also he had no provisions so he had to do something about that too.
* tring*
You have received 180 dmg.
A weird black animal jumped onto him and was firmly placed ontop of his head the moment he relaxed his tense muscles. He still couldn't see what it was so he just grabbed above his head and slammed it into one of the roots nearby.
Now he saw what it was. It was the size of a big dog but it had 6 legs and 2 antennas. Chitin covered his body in a way that made it appear really heavily armored but it was still just a tick. A weird tick big enough to suck up all his blood at once.
Momentarily it was stunned due to Angorod slamming it into the roots and it was laying on its back so he pushed it down with all his weight. After all running away was not an option. Ticks had a incredible jumping range even when they were small but this one probably could jump about 40 m with ease.
Angorod tried to punch it but it had no effect. Then he stomped on it but it was also to no avail. He had lost his naturally sharp teeth so this weapon was also useless so he did what had already worked once.
He lifted its body that weighed about 80 kgs and slammed it into the roots. He did it again and again and again and again. Even after slamming it into the roots for 10 minutes it twitched every time as it was still alive.
Another 10 minutes later it finally stopped twitching , but just to be sure he slammed it another 20 times against the tree root and after what felt like an eternity he got the window he hoped for.
* tring*
You have killed a beast that was 40 levels above your current level.
Experience gained for doing this is decreased to a normal amount for killing a same leveled beast.
Stats gained from killing a higher leveld beast are increased by 200%.
* tring*
You have gained stats.
+2 Str ( 50%)
+3 Dex
+4 Vit
+50 Stamina
+50 Health
+1 Affinity to blood
Angorod laughed hysterically at the sight but soon reminded himself to keep quiet. If his laughs attracted more then one of those things he would be a goner , but he also knew one could be his death.
For now he looked at the cracked chitin shell of the tick and first he stared at his satiety bar and then at the ozzing liquid that dripped out. He sighed and surpressed a urge to vomit as he stuck his hand inside.
The green liquid that crawled down his arm after he exited out of its innards stunk incredibly so he surpressed his urge to vomit once again and licked the fluid. It tasted as bad as it smelled but his nourishment bar filled at an incredible rate with every lick.
He could have used his glutton buff to increase his health among other things but he decided against it , after all it tasted horrible. Now he took a peek out of the root like cave and saw the coast was clear.
Angorod didn't press his knees through and tried to extingish every sound he made. He breathed in and out very slowly and etched his footsteps forward slowly. With a quick glance at the trees he found moss growing on one side only so he decided to follow the moss traces north.
A few times a bird flying overhead almost caught sight of him but he immediatly ducked behind a tree. Every so often while doing this a familiar sound was audiable only for Angorod and he knew his subtely leveld up.
Sometimes he cursed because the sound frightend so he gave the command to surpress sounds and windows from notifications once again. He knew he had gave that command once before but being absent 16 months probably lifted this command.
Not only were there birds and ticks a few times he stumbled across other insects. Naturally even those were oversized. Some beetles that were the size of a large car a praying Mantis the size of a schoolbus and even some spiders. But those were easily deceived the problem were the Ants he found the size of a small car.
He knew those were ' pioneers ' or rather trackers. They followed prey and then after that the swarm attacked them. Every time he found one he needed to side track incredibly but thanks to the moss he found his way back north.
On the way , as he ducked underneath a tree once again to evade a bird , he found some ticks he killed like in the earlier encounter and drank their disgusting innards. The night soon engulfed the over sized forest and he decided to stay hidden inside of one of the root balls.
After all he wasn't stupid enough to face a nocturnal hunter in this kind of enviorment who knew what kind of things he would meet. Maybe a Snake as long as a football field , or even worse some bats that hunted. From them he couldn't hide behind a tree.
But even throughout the night he didn't rest and never got one second of shut-eye. Not because he constantyl had to avoid anything , just another 2 ticks attacked him through the night , but because he was wary of his surroundings.
Also the noises through the night , the multiple clicks , hisses and slithering that seemed to come just from outside of his safe haven freightend him. Everytime something like this happend he was scared but he also told himself it was just a game ... or at least he hoped.
After all it had changed his real life appearance and other things. But even though he convinced himself it was just a game he was scared shit-less. It just seemed to real , everytime he heard something his blood froze and he held his breath.
A nerve wrecking night later he continued on his journey after slurping some gooey surprise from the innards of another tick that attacked him just before dawn. He followed north while evading everything he could.
The trees that used to stand not more then 3 meters apart started to become farther and farther apart. First it was unnoticable but the farther he came the farther they were apart. Soon the trees stood more alone then anything else and Angorod began to ran.
He ran and then ran some more just to run even faster. 3 Hours after running finally he got the message he was hoping for.
* tring*
Quest has progressed
You have left the forest now maybe this person in-front of you has some answers.
Angorod was confused but soon he looked ahead and found a person laying down in the grassy field. She didn't move but her breast moved up and down. Yes she was completly naked for some reason but Angorod didn't notice this at first.
Her skin was so pale that it looked like the empty canvas of a artist. Her lips were a full rose red and her hair were also completly white. Not a silver gray or a normal gray it was the same color as her skin that almost touched her ankle.
Even though she looked deathly pale her skin still looked completly healthy and Angorod thought of a > Other Worldy < beauty. Her eyes were closed but soon she yawned in a cute manner while lifting her arms above her head.
Her chest moved with her stretching and soon she began to bit her lower lip after she yawned again. She opened her eyes and there Angorod saw the most fantastic thing he would ever be able to witness.
The eyes seemed to radiate heat but in fact it was a darker gray almost steel like in apperance that appeared cold , but her pupils were what caught his attention. They were formed like a snakes into a slit and she was incredibly angry for some reason.
" 2 days , 2 hellish days of boredome! You made me wait long enough! " She shouted.
Angorod was completly and utterly confused as the tiny little thing came towards him and stabbed at his chest with an outstretched index finger while glaring at him through her hair.
