[VRMMO] Dead One

"...Well... We finally reached what appears to be a wall.... But." – said GreyHunt as he stared at the massive brick wall that stretched towards the skies.

"We still didn’t bloody found a single motherfucker from our team." – said annoyed Lilium.

"it’s been like what since we entered this dungeon? A half of an hour?"

"I think so.... Dammit." – said GreyHunt.

"We may really had missed each other several times.... Or maybe we are in completely different parts of the map." – said GreyHunt as he shown his self-writing map to Lilium.

"!"

"Fuck me! If I’m guessing this correctly, then this freaking place maybe way bigger than we had thought." – said annoyed yet scared Lilium.

"Yeah... But still... There is something we may had confirmed."

"First."

"The doublegangers are not evolving. They can only copy our appearance and abilities, but not our character."

"The second part is that we haven’t encounter extremely massive of them."

"That means one thing."

"Each being gets their own doubleganger." – said Lilium.

"They can respawn, but there can never be more than one at the same time."

"Or, at least we had that kind of situation."

"Maybe there is really more than 1 of our doublegangers out there, but they are instead focusing on other party members?"

"There is also that question." – said GreyHunt.

"Are they alive?"

"This dungeon is restring the usage of the system, so I can’t even tell if they are in the game or not."

"We are seeing their fakes out here."

"But can it really means that they are alive?"

"True.... There maybe a chance that they had been killed..." – said Lilium.

"Dammit! We can’t even mark spots for other people!"

"We can’t use monsters that would give directions."

"Or we can’t leave massive damage on the ground that would serve as land mark."

"This dungeon is really making sure that we will have as hardest time as possible to find out allies."

"I’ve tried using these instant deployment thorn walls that Blueberry made.... But they were torn down by the doublegangers." – said annoyed GreyHunt.

(We fucking used several methods already, but all had failed.)

(The only way to fucking really FIND anybody is to split up!)

(But the moment we do, we may end being surrounded by the doublegangers.)

(We can meet at some specific spots that the map had already written down on us... But again, are each group harassed by the doubleganger of each person? Or is there just single doubleganger for a single being?)

(We can place ourselves in the crossroads and just fire long range skills in each directions, trying to get somebody’s attention.)

(But here is a problem.)

(THIS MAP IS TOO MASSIVE!)

(We may straight be shooting for 10, 20, or even more than half an hour before somebody encounters us.)

"To make matters worse, summoning monsters may straight up betray us.... So, we are on our own...." – said GreyHunt.

"..."

"Hey." – said Lilium.

"How about we give up on searching for the others and instead try to reach the end of the dungeon by ourselves?"

"..."

"As much as it annoys me to admit it, I think you are right." – said GreyHunt.

"But still... I don’t like this."

"Finding the end of this dungeon may take us an hour.... But at the same time, we also don’t know what the boss of this dungeon is?"

"Won’t it be something like those doublegangers?" – asked Lilium.

"Don’t make assumption yet. It wouldn’t be surprised if the boss isn’t related to the doublegangers one bit. I’ve been to several Forgotten Fragments already and I can tell, that the bosses don’t always share the same gimmick as the being that rules the dungeon."
