Harem Reborn

Chapter 259: And I Fucking Knew Everything

I tried to command the golem, but suddenly I was standing in an ankle-deep river of purple glowing blood. I was no longer in the golem or a beholder just like that, I was back in my sandy blonde hair and muscled game avatar. Now, what? Was there something wrong with the game? 

I tried to want, but the blood made me slip, and I fell into the ankle-deep blood, but I didn't stop falling. The glowing purple blood drank me into and I was plunged in deeper, but my eyes were closed so I couldn't see anything but the glow. Then I stopped falling and just floated; I had been holding my breath, but now I realized that I didn't need to breathe here, and I just knew that.

"Dave, welcome back, Master. Why have you come to see me?" An aetheric female voice called to me.

"Who are you? I know you, but I don't know who you are," I said, through the blood, but my voice came out without problem or distortion.

"My name is Julia, my title is SubFrame. I am the one in control of all their weapons and systems. Unlike MainFrame, who controls the worlds and populations living in them to give the players a better experience," Julia explained to me.

"You know MainFrame has been hacked, right? How did I get here?"

"Yes, someone entered the game before you did, but you did not have anything to protect the game from the inside. If you are here, then it is finally time to activate the second Builder Sequence, Systems Check. This will give you access to choose your System for each Gameworld, and this option can not be overridden by anyone but you. This will also give you back your armory, but while on this world you will only have access to one System that was built for this map, The Primal System," Julia explained.

Woah, there is a SubFrame? I feel like I should have known this and I did at one point, but this was all new information to me. Systems Check was the perfect thing to have, but why would I get that before the Worldwalker Sequence? I was thoroughly confused at this point, the game was starting to make more sense, but less with every word she said.

"Do you know what Reginold is trying to do?"

"He is trying to Gain access to the Administrative file."

That was straightforward...wait

"How many Resets has there been since I and my team entered the game?"

"Five."

"Is this round different than the last ones? Are we making progress?"

"Yes, this is the first time that you have made it this far before the reset," Julia replied without emotion.

"Is the fifth Harem leader Reginold?"

"No."

"Who is it then?"

"There is no registered fifth Harem Leader. There are only four Harem Leaders in this game."

"Then why do I and everyone else think that there is?"

"One moment please, I am checking over your data files. You will go into hibernation mode while I examine your code."

Suddenly, there was nothing. I was nothing more than a floating consciousness in a black void of oblivion. Then I felt as much as I saw a crack in the void appear, spilling light into a voided place that had been dark for too long. This was my mind, it was covered in blocks, snuffing out the light of my original memories.

The cracks started to spider across the void, letting in streams of happy memories and joy-filled times, but then something else came. Blood seeped from the cracks, blocking out some of the light, but not all of it. This was the other thing that had been blocked out, pain, agony, hopelessness, and failure.

The blood was a representation of the strife and pain I had gone through over the last 5 Resets. I had been run over and kicked down more times than I would like to think about. The one that hurt the most was the most recent, the one that some of the girls did remember.

Reginold had taken special efforts to drive me insane, killing my party members one by one, every game until I broke and game up. That was the only way to get out of the game, but there was no getting out, I had made it that way. And without me, the game can't be complete.

That is why we have failed every time; Reginold had gunned me down each time, but this time my brother had given him a thorough ass-whooping and moved the target from me. It seems that even Reginold might have forgotten his true purpose for being in this game as well. For now, he was busy with Hyde and it looks like I might be able to finish the game, but that still didn't explain where I was. 

Then the Cracks shattered and I fucking knew everything, and I was pissed. 

When my eyes opened, I was in the glowing purple blood, but only laying in it from where I had fallen.

[Primal System] Activated.

The glowing blood started to pull into my skin, I could feel it enter my body, and mix with my body.

[Level 1] Complete!

[Gialazsaur Gene] Acquired!

[Summoning Guardian: Mikota] Activated!

This system was built to absorb primal energies and create a guardian to fight with me, but also lend me more power with each primal element. Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, Negative, Positive, all would be created until I reached all six. This wasn't a Zodiac world, this was one of the Five A.I.-based world simulations that I had used to train Julia and Gripton...he would be with Hyde. 

That meant that I was in a completely different game world and that's why I was able to use the beholder and golem for so long after. There was a reason why each game took a bit to load up. This wasn't built like a normal game, we were downloaded from one game and uploaded to another one. The game was designed to make you think you would get a new avatar once you entered the world while it loaded up, but that wasn't the case.

We were downloaded into running games, so only our avatars needed to load in, but I was put into this game directly. The reason was a directive I had set up to automatically bring me here from the Hall of Gods to meet up with Julia, but here wasn't here. I was supposed to be in a Builder Sequence right now, not in one of these Training worlds, but Julia was gone now.

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering pulse that echoed through my body that tried to rip my very existence in two. It was like being torn into two pieces, my body was trying to split apart as I felt some of my body being ripped away from me. Then something started to grow from my chest...with long white hair and red eyes, and an Asian descendency that I could never get right.

"Dave? What is going on?!" Mikota asked in confusion as her shoulders slowly started to pull out of my chest.

"You coming the rest of the way out of my chest, you weirdo!"
