Chapter 7 - Growing community!

{HoneyHUT: ur not wrong}

{Luna: he's not new, he was here before me lmao}

{HoneyHUT: oh sorry!}

{SunArrow: u did nothing wrongđŸ€Ł}

{Luna: mhm}

HoneyHUT sighed in relief, she was new to this sort of thing, and her friends put her onto this supposed VRMMORPH beta.

"Man, I sure hope it isn't a scam". She muttered before typing those exact words

{HoneyHUT: I hope they don't scam us!!}

{Luna: they won't, SunArrow believes it's real he has a lot of faith in it lmao}

{SunArrow: hey at first I didn't!đŸ« }

SunArrow quickly replies

{Luna: I know lmao}

They chatted for a while more;

{SunArrow: where did you find the ad} The questions

{Luna: just on youtoob}

{SunArrow: Same!}

{HoneyHUT: Yep}

{GargoyleEye: I have returned}

{Luna: where'd you go, shop?}

{GargoyleEye: YES, I bought some chocolate it's gonna be yummy}

{SunArrow: oh cool, that's just reminded me, I have cookies in brb}

{GargoyleEye: Ash just posted a new image btw}

{Luna: oh I'm checking rn}

Luna clicks the homepage and then scrolls until she finds the image;

It was a hammer with a big spike at its back.

"War hammer, is there going to be a paladin class?". She questions.

She goes back to the chat;

{Luna: do u guys think it is a paladin class?}

{HoneyHUT: it has to be, plus there's avatar customization as well}

Pointing out the clearly peach-skinned hand holding the hammer.

{SunArrow: nah prob smth different tbh, the knight class seems to be the tank}

{GargolyeEye: I agree, love that there's customization now.}

{Luna: Kay.}

{Ratty: I'm not gonna chat much just saying hi, Heyo}

They all say hi to him.

{SunArrow: Isn't it close to release, now that theres cc}

{GargoyleEye: yes it is}

{HoneyHUT: why don't we all go chill, let's chat later}

{Okay} they all say.

Ash was looking at the chat and thought it'd be a good idea to create a friend list;

Ash: (can one of you create a friends list for the website)

Dev3: (sure! It'll only take a few hours)

Ash: (thx)

"The forging and crafting system is done, all the systems we need have been improved and polished, I'll just create new skills for higher levels".

"First I'll announce when the beta will be released".

[Hello, we are excited to say that everyone who has currently will be sent their VR equipment,

The plant was a rose but was more like a berry.

"That should do, for now, keep a little hype going".

"I'm going to buy an extra class slot".

He finished making the class.

"It's so fun, making class slots!".

He said while looking through the system interface, he was now adding an accessory system,

just a small one, once he makes the developers work on one it'll be more advanced.

After adding it he finished up on some minor details.

Taking a sip of water he sighs, no longer distracted and with a lack of things to do some thoughts he doesn't dare to face come to mind.

"Why, do I feel like a failure". He mutters to himself while covering his face with his wrist.

"I need to stop pouting". He tries to tell himself.

He successfully did so!

Thinking back to his website;

"Yeah let's, see what the community is up to". He spoke.

Selecting his website in his system menu;

{Head developer Ash: Yo!}

The members were surprised at first but answered him.

{GargoyleEye: Hey! Master}

{Luna: Hello, haven't seen you for a good while}

{Head developer Ash: wheres SunArrow}

{Luna: He is at his grandma's}

"Oh, I was hoping to chat with him". Ash said surprised.

{Head developer Ash: What're you discussing?}

Ash inquires.

{Luna: Just having a fun chat, about stuff you've teased!}

{Head developer Ash: Good!, love to see a small active community!}

Ash's mood was raised seeing recognisable people, it means he's developing a community, and that they are talking about the game.

{GargoyleEye: Hey, we're not so small}

{Luna: we really are}

{SunArrow: yeh, I can still talk from my phone dumbass, btw u need to make a friends list!}

{head developer Ash: it's big to me, haha. Wait a few hours!}

'These guys are modest' he thinks to himself.

{SunArrow: So we're getting a friends list, nice!}

{Luna: I can finally add you guys as friends, EPIC😆}

{GargoyleEye: yep, I beg of u, don't troll me}

{SunArrow: Says u}

{Luna: lmao, don't argue have some courtesy, the big boss is here}

{Head developer Ash: Haha 🙈 }

{head developer Ash: ask me anything!: I and the team just need to test something then we're ready for release, then we're just waiting on you guys!}

He informs them

{all of them say: We read ur post dw}

They asked their questions and Ash answered them.

A few hours passed and the website was more of a chat site.

Ash after adding those three as friends helped with the environmental lighting, the developers asked many questions,

And edited quite a lot of basic stuff for the lighting to fit;

The beta was ready for release.

Ash is happy with this.

Deciding to take a small break he goes downstairs to grab a snack,

The rain calmed down so he wanted to go on a walk.

"Hey Mom, you think the weather is decent for a walk".

He asked her from the kitchen since she was cooking dinner;

"Should be good!, have a nice walk.". She said kindly.

Ash goes for his walk after putting on a coat and his boots.

"So this is the being that's absorbed one of my strands of divinity, ". A being floating in the clouds mutters.

"Those bastards had to make me seal off the world".

It follows Ash for a bit, trying to figure out what power he awakened.

Ash is ignorant of what follows him, he continues his normal walk.

"I'll just stalk until he reveals his power".

The unknown being followed Ash home, finally Ash reveals his power, the being sighed in relief and teleported away, leaving Ash alone.

Once the entity left Ash's mom shouted him for dinner.

Walking downstairs, he sees his father, Ash glances down.

His father looks at him with annoyance.

Ash not knowing.

"Come eat we have steak and rice tonight". His mom points out.

"Thanks, Mom". He thanks his mom for the meal.

"What've you been doing in your room as of late?". His mom questions.

"That's a secret!". He states

"I know what he's doing, disgusting brat. I've read it in the papers". His dad rudely interrupts.

His moms mouth opens widely at her husband's rudeness.

"That was rude Marven".

"Leave it, Mom". Ash asks.

"Are you sure?". She questions.

"YES". Ash yells.

After this spout, they ate in silence.

Ash returns to his room, he checks the website;

89 people had signed up and were completely qualified for the beta

tester position.

This brought up his mood.

Checking chat logs, only a few weirdos were banned or muted for a few hours.

Checking on his game he chose to unlock Region two but leave it void of anything until he earns some money from the first region.

Having this be one of the last days he'll play alone he hops in-game;
