A God's Apocalyptic Entertainment 119 Family's Concern

(Yeah and it jumped all over the place. All the other ones were like one scene.)

(None of them took this long before. It took up an extra 30 seconds to get everything done.)

(Brutality against woman! He flipped her a few meters in the air!)

(Did you see the way she was treated!? This is not right!)

(Don't like this piece of trash game!)

(Who cares about that? Did you see those fights?)

(Yeah man! There were like 4 different fights!)

(And don't forget 3 of them were group fights!)

(Were those fricking Elves?!?!?!?)

(What type of b.a.s.t.a.r.d hurts elves????)

(Yeah those nature lovers hurt no one! How could they!)

(That Kuro person disgusts me!)

(Well you have to feel some sympathy. What she went through seems to be traumatic.)

(Yeah she first had her partner die. And then had to go kill elves. She was probably forced!)

(Or deceived! Did you see how ruthless that person was there in the end? He stuck a sword right through her chest!)

(That youth is a b.a.s.t.a.r.d!)

(Yeah, yeah. I have no clue how he got connected with that silver haired beauty! d.a.m.n him!)

(Yeah that silver hair beauty is being deceived!)

(Kill him! Kill him!)

(If I see him in game I will stick him through the chest and save that girl!)

(Yeah clear motives for the poster above. What intrigues me was what he said at the end. Did anyone else notice that?)

(Yeah he clearly said "I don't know if this is your first death." This clearly shows awareness to the fact she is a player.)

(No way the Artificial Intelligence (AI) is that smart right?)

(Maybe the NPC's can also be revived?)

(I've seen no information that would suggest that.)

(This could be a reveal of a huge game mechanic! Could you image the ramifications of being able to revive NPC's! It would change how things are done in the game. And not give an edge to players.)

*************************

With the finish of the chapter the internet exploded. People that weren't fans of the game and had casually come to watch it were disturbed by the brutality shown in the video. And those that were fans of the game, were blow away by the realistic personality and intelligence shown by the AI. Some of the eagle eyed and smarter viewers even delved deeper into what the meaning of his last sentence was.

Could the Ai possible be evolved enough to understand that players had more than one life?

Would that effect how the game was played? Everything was up in the air with that last sentence. Seeing as no one could get in touch with Boosted KuroNeko that was in the trailer and she wouldn't be able to talk even if she wanted to, because of her contract. Communities were left to speculate the sentence.

Very soon something no one expected showed up under the video on the official site. Posted by the official account which hadn't ever posted anything on the other videos.

"Don't underestimate the NPC's"

That was the only message, but with just that, people that hadn't noticed the little hint at the end finally caught on and the people that had caught it at the start where even more riled up. Soon threads started on many sites which detailed what the possible ramifications of NPC's figuring out that players could die multiple times.

Thing such as no mercy towards players, as they can revive indefinitely, to complete different treatment from everyone else were thrown around. With NPC's being able to die, it meant that they could hate players that suddenly pop up.

Not all was bad though as this could also mean NPC's were more likely to give them missions that were dangerous, which would give better exp. But it would also impact the rewards they might get, seeing as they could come back to life repeatedly, it greatly reduced the risks they would have to go through, and the NPC's would know this.

************************

Quiet enveloped the room as everyone didn't say a word. I looked away from the screen surprised by how much was shown. They hadn't told me how much was going to be shown. But they had used too much.

My forehead started to sweat as I tried to keep my expression calm, I had only talked a little about the pain system in the game to my dad, but it was enough to know that being killed like that hurt. And though it wasn't a bad trait my father was very sensitive about keeping my family protected.

Maybe it was because there were only women in the family, I'm not sure. But if he decided that the game was too much of a risk and didn't want me to play it anymore, I would have trouble.

I really wanted to get back in the game, it was an experience that I had never had before.

I shook my head slightly as the image of Liam popped into my head. I hadn't liked some of the comments I had seen before the TV was turned off, the trailer had completely made him out to be a bad person.

Though I couldn't say why I thought differently after everything that had happened between us, I was angry that people were vowing to kill him when the game started. Unlike them I knew that NPC's wouldn't come back to life.

The AI was advanced enough that it could tell the difference between players and other NPC's or that's what I thought. There was a small voice in the back of my head that said there was another possibility but I completely ignored it.

While I was lost in my thoughts finally someone said something. And unlike what I was expecting it actually came from one of my sisters first.

"Are you alright Chlo?"

There was a tinge of concern in her voice that I hadn't heard in a long time, it really touched my heart hearing the question, and I could finally talk to my family about what had happened.

Even though I wasn't feeling hatred for Liam now, my anxiety over what had happened was high. And at the question all the compounded feelings, which even I didn't know I had been keeping bottled up, came out and tears collected in my eyes.

*Sob*

I heard a small cracking sound as I looked downwards, I didn't want to look at anyone right now. It wasn't long before I felt something soft and warms wrap their arms around me. Jade's voice sounded out behind me.

"I'm here sis, don't cry."

I tried to calm myself as my emotions where all over the place, soon even more warmth wrapped me up, as the rest of my family came closer.

This will be hard to explain later.
