Moral Reversal

22. GMO 2

We entered the dungeon and started to get familiar with the position, dungeon settings, & environment. It was an ordinary cave system, yet five people could walk side by side without any problem. Yet Abby positioned us in a particular formation, in which I was at the front with Mine_is_Glory. Red_Lady was in the middle behind us with our healer Golden_kitty and 04 was guarding our backs.

After a while, we all got pretty used to playing with each other. The dog like monsters were not that much trouble, but when a whole herd of them gathered around, it was bit of a challenge. Our usual strategy was to initiate with Red_Lady and Killer_abstract’s long range attacks, and then I would stop their advance once they aggroed. Then Mine_is_Glory and Red_Lady would deal damage and kill off the pulled monsters Killer_abstract would keep others away, and Golden_kitty would inform us of situations all around us, plus heal everyone, which was mostly me since I always had tons of monsters around me at all times.

We fought our way through in the same manner, chatting in between. Golden_kitty was quite a cheery and kind hearted kid, and Mine_is_Glory was a bit proud and arrogant. Mine_is_Glory almost made me lose control over monsters twice by killing monsters with flashy attacks and unnecessary movements. I was keeping quiet since I had not found a good time to enter their conversation, plus I was more focused on monsters and understanding my class. I almost fully understood the advantages and disadvantages of being a knight. 

But since mostly my job was to defend myself from multiple monsters and damage them enough, I was more advantageous with my high defense and a big, sturdy shield; my movements were not that slower than the rest. Plus, I made fewer mistakes than the rest of them, so it was almost negligible. 

I was not this good at reflexes in my old world, so I guess with everything else, my reflexes and perceptions were also doubled by an average male's body in this kid’s body. I had also discovered that I could react to and calculate situations faster in my mind, as if I was upgraded with a better ram in my mind.

I was handling a horde of monsters when a trap got activated, and two additional monsters entered through a hole in the dungeon wall, which was opened by the hidden trap. 

It was situated in a position where only I could watch the new monsters entering, it was beyond my limit to manage two additional monsters, yet somehow I managed to stop one of them. And one got past me, heading straight for the healer. 

I looked behind me even though I had practically no time to spare. And saw Golden_kitty very busy with keeping me and Mine_is_Glory alive; Red_Lady was also focused on monster away from us, which were closing in. Only Killer_abstract was a bit free, since she was also targeting faraway monsters.

Last_Cookie - Killler ! Protect kitty…!! Now !

Killer_abstract - She is in the mid….Oh ! Okay, I see it..!

She successfully killed the monster, and with a bit out of rhythm from my shout, others also got back to their jobs. In a few more minutes, we managed to clear all the monsters and were just going to heal ourselves at the next intersection. When 01 came jumping towards me and almost screamed….

Mine_is_Glory - YOU ARE A GUY !!?

Last-Cookie - Slow down a bit…will you ?

Mine_is_Glory - Yes, your voice is definitely a boy voice….Hey ! Hey ! How old are you ?

Last-Cookie - 11…. but what has that to do with anything ?

Mine_is_Glory - Ahh, you are 11, I am twenty…..no twelve. I am 12.

That's a clear cut lie. What’s with her ? I understand that since it’s a reverse world, male players would be rare here. But I don’t think anyone has shown this much desperation towards me before today. Even Clara was a bit reserved.

Last-Cookie - Let’s just focus on the game okay ?

Mine_is_Glory - Oh ! You know, I have already cleared this dungeon many times before. You don’t have to worry a single bit. I will protect you. 

Last-Cookie - If you are already past level 5, why are you in this dungeon with us ?

Killer_abstract - Yeah ! And stay away a bit from him, will you ? 

Mine_is_Glory - You two know each other in real life ?

Killer_abstract - Yes, he is my frie….

Before she could finish i cut her off.

Last-Cookie - Boyfriend; I am her boyfriend.

No one spoke another word, but abby and anna were glaring daggers at me. I just smiled back at them. 

Killer_abstract - Yes, he is my boyfriend and i am his…his girl…uhm girlfriend !

‘ Real smooth there, genius. ’

We continued our journey through the dungeon, our consistency dropping a bit since Mine_is_Glory was constantly annoying me. And “ SAVING ” me from constantly unnecessary situations. I tried to ignore her since I understood her desperation as a guy with tons of gaming experience. I also wanted a girlfriend I could play video games with. But when her one dumb move made me almost lose two monsters on anna, which I prevented even i don’t know how. My patience ran out.

Last-Cookie - HEY !! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING !?

Even abby and anna were shocked beyond belief and got instinctively away from me, before even realizing what had happened. 

And i realized that i had never heard anyone swearing in our house except in their minds. Well i was beyond caring for now. 

Mine_is_Glory - Are you talking to me ?

Last-Cookie - You are the only one beside me aren’t you ?

Mine_is_Glory - I just saved you from those extra monsters…why are you shouting ?

Last-Cookie - Saved me ? Hero, did you ever considered that I might not need your help ? Wasn't I doing fine before you realized that I was a guy ?

Golden_kitty - We are so sorry sir cookie….my friend here is a bit passionate. I apologize on behalf of her. 

Last-Cookie - It's not you that's a problem kitty, it's her. And i don't care if you are passionate, fassionate or whatever just don't get in my way. Focus on your part….

No one said anything after that like a dead silence but since it seemed like conversation was over so I continued forward one by one others following after me.
