[VRMMO] Dead One

"..."

"So, what do you think about this story?" – asked Sloth as the space began shifting back to its original state.

".... Well... I did expected an possibility of this story being different than the one I know.... But still, this isn’t it. It’s completely different story." – said ClownFrog.

(I maybe not had read a lot about king Arthur legends, but I do know some stuff, since it is an one of most well-known fantasy stories.)

(But still, this is an completely different story.)

(....)

"Questions. Is the known story about the king Arthur is known as the real son of king Uther and that the Mordred was the traitorous knight that killed his father?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Yeb. It’s the one known." – replied sloth.

(Well damn. That means that the story from real world and this world maybe similar if not the same.) – though ClownFrog.

"..."

"Considering what you had shown me and based on what I know, there is good chance that ALL of the "Forgotten" stories are the real stories that had been "erased" and then replaced with fake stories." – said ClownFrog.

"But now there are few questions remaining."

"Who erased this story?"

"And obvious suspect would be Morgana, wouldn’t it?"

"..."

"What makes you say that?" – asked Sloth.

"The story never said anything about the Morgan faith... If anything, Arthur took this drastic measures of letting Brittain burn and killing himself as well as his wife." – said ClownFrog.

"All in order to destroy any means of finding the true hero."

"Morgana wouldn’t care about her reputation being destroyed, but she could not let the truth regarding the "true hero" and his tale to be "tainted". It would make sense for her to be the one who erased the story and replaced it with the fake."

"And now here is next fucking question that needs answering."

"If what the story said is correct, and that the staff that once used by Erza was indeed the Caliburn... So does that mean that the thing I have, the destroyed "staff" is in reality Caliburn?"

"Pretty much. But its drained completely out of power as well, with resulted in it revering back to its primordial state." – replied sloth.

".... But it should be able to return to its prime form, Caliburn, right?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Yeb. I mean, you saw lady of a lake repairing the Caliburn? So why it shouldn’t it be possible to repair it again?" – replied sloth..

"..."

"Then again, here is real question." – said ClownFrog.

"What happened to the Caliburn after it was used to destroy the Excalibur and to take an life of the king Arthur."

"In the end of the story, Caliburn looked like it was left behind.... But then it causes many different questions."

"Who took it? Was it Morgan? Or maybe somebody else?"

"There is also important question regarding the Forgotten being that wielded this weapon."

"Do you know who was it?"

"...."

"Hm.... This will make things interesting, won’t it?" – said sloth with giant grim.

"It was Merlin. He was the one wielding Caliburn."

"?!"

"WAIT, WHAT?!" – shouted ClownFrog.

"But Merlin died! How can he be the Forgotten- "

"Merlin was Forgotten and wasn’t Forgotten." – said sloth.

"There were two Merlin’s."

"The half fairy half demon. And the one who was half human half demon."

"You think the one that was turned into Forgotten was the half demon half human version, but its complicated."

"You see, Morgan tried resurrecting Merlin into creature of the death, an lich, in order to restore her other half."

"It was an pure desperation since she knew that she needed him in ordered to find another "true hero"."

"However, here is the thing. Mordred saw it coming."

"Mordred enchanted blade many times through his preparations and made so that if it were to struck the Merlin, his entire existence would be destroyed."

"And so, what Morgan resurrected wasn’t even Merlin body nor his soul, but just crumbling remains."

"She though that she could somewhat restore him even in this state, but Mordred was once step ahead, corrupting the Caliburn as well and the said corruption would completly transfer over to the corpse of mad mage."

"Imbuing it with necromancy and turning Merlin remains into warden."

"Not only that, but the blade was specially made as an poison against Morgan and Merlin, meaning that she couldn’t get anywhere near it even if she wanted to."

"Well, it was originally an trap to kill Morgan, but she survived it and ran away." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"And so, the body of the Merlin that had been completely purged by the Caliburn and made into the new wielder of the Caliburn, while also became the Forgotten being."

"As for the originally Merlin, he replaced the Merlin of the known story."

"Huh.... I honestly though that it would be Erza, being the wielder of the Caliburn... Since.... Well, it was story about her, wasn’t it?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Make sense that you though about it, but again, it was story about Erza and not Arthur, not Merlin, not Morgan, it was Erza story." – said sloth.

"Even the body of the Merlin that became Forgotten Being wasn’t even Merlin in the first place, since his entire existence was destroyed, including his soul. This thing was nothing more than meat puppet created out of Merlin flesh that did not possessed anything from the original expect for the flesh."

"And Erza herself was also erased from the history, resulting in her being "Forgotten"."

"..."

"Well, this sucks." – said ClownFrog.

"Hm? What? Disappointed about Merlin being forgotten being?" – asked sloth.

"No." – replied ClownFrog.

"Morgan is still alive to this day, isn’t she?"

"..."

"..."

"I guess your silence means either yes or that you cannot tell me." – said ClownFrog.

"But if she is still alive- "

"She needs to die."

"If everything you had shown was real, then she isn’t just some mad woman... No, an mad creature."

"She is an straight up bomb."

"I can think of few things about her and what her current plan would be if she was still alive..... And non look "friendly" at all. She needs to die."

"..."

"And there is you." – said ClownFrog as he faced sloth.

"I wander about how the Oin empire even managed to get the remains of the Caliburn slash the "staff", but you are an bigger question."

"You are not normal."

"You ain’t some demon god above other demonic gods, you are being from the Forgotten Time, aren’t you?"

"And even if that isn’t the answer, it would not deny the fact that you are aware of the true Forgotten history, an knowledge that shouldn’t exist."

"..."

"Well, who can say?" – replied sloth with smug look.

"Maybe you will earn right for the truth."

"Anyway, my beloved source of entrainment and my loyal subject, shall we now talk about your real reward?"

"First thing first, your existence has become something like an key figure, as of figure that can now even very slightly influence the whole world."

"Dead One."

"This was your own personal title before, but now it became your own name with its own meaning."

"What you did also didn’t went unnoticed, some gods or maybe true sins alongside true seven heavenly virtues."

"True pride 100% noticed you, since you defeated her herald and its ally."

"Honestly, it wouldn’t be surprising if you had received an offer to become herald of another sin or virtue."

"Anyway, as the things currently stands, you had somehow manage to go beyond expectation and also become an "important being", with in turn caused many things."

"One of those things is your sin of sloth, its growing and its at the breaking point of obtaining another lesser sin."

"Honestly speaking, this is interesting."

"I mean, there were few cases of some people being able to manifest many sins at the short amount of time, but there is also the thing that you fucker received two lesser sins from me, so it doesn’t really count."

"And as for the people that I had mentioned, there were being that were able to manifest quiet quickly if not manifest multiple lesser sins at once or at very short span of time."

"I could probably force your sin to sprout out new lesser sin sooner... But how about this?"

"Entrainment a bit, "Kid"."

"Be bit greedy and ask for reward you would want."

"..."

"Oh... You little shitty brat..." – said pissed off ClownFrog.

"Hehehehehehhehe." – sloth laughed straight at the ClownFrog face with big grim on her face.

*Sigh*

"Another fucking game?" – said completely annoyed ClownFrog.

(She fucking knows. She fuking knows, but she is still doing that?!)

(What does she want? She knows I want to know everything, but she also knows that she I know that she won’t give me all the answers.)

(She wants to force me to suffer and think about what I should ask.)

"..."

(Power or informations.)

(Those are the only things she can offer me.)

(If I ask for the power, I could possibly awaken the lesser sin and possible even obtain another lesser sin from her.)

(Power is good and I had became extremely powerful after ending the war..... More power the better and it’s not like I’m only one growing stronger.)

(Sooner or later people will become strong enough to the point they would be able to kill me.)

(Take Hawk or Conquest as example, even though they don’t stand chance against me, they are called rankers for an reason and not only that, they also grown extremely more powerful after the "First Tournament".)

(They may grown strong enough... Hell, there maybe players out there who are already strong enough to the point they can confront me and possible have an chance at beating me.)

(There are also being like Hell Lord.... I only beat that guy by just FUCKING luck!)

(Will I fight stronger guy in the future? If so, then I NEED more power.)

(...Then again....)

(Shit.... She knows.... She knows that I WANT to know the story.)

(There is also the whole ass "benefactor" that hunts the stuff related to the "Forgotten World" at any cost, even committing acts of genocide without care in order to attempt at obtaining something.)

(And there is also unknown factor.... Morgan.... Shit. Is there an chance that she is maybe the "benefactor" by any chance?)

"..."

(No. She maybe not related if I think about it, I mean, why would she go after the "Forgotten World" items... It doesn’t fit.)

(...There is also Forgotten Executioner.)

(He somehow managed to keep his sanity in place for who knows how long, but as soon as we started asking questions and he started answering them, we doomed him as the chains straight up took anything he had left.)

(.... If Zeus is really.... That kind of bastard and could be possible alive.... Then he could be same bomb like Morgan.)

(Dammit! I don’t fucking know what to fucking ask!)

(There is just way too many things!)

(AND THAT FUCKING SHITTY BRATS KNOWS IT!)

"..."

(Yea... Maybe I should just drop kick her in the face.)
