Recoil sat atop a rock nearby, breathless from the adrenaline rush. he took quick uneven breaths to calm his body and brought up his stats.

He spat and surveyed the dead Zexil's, he flexed his wrists and slammed home a fresh magazine into his pistol.
" Forty five kills, twenty headshots, five double kills and twenty five melee kills" Nova said. " How much longer?" He asked.
" The last wave, this one would obviously be much harder than others" Nova explained. " Though you have the option of quitting if it becomes too much for you"
" Nah I'm almost done with it let's get it over with what's the worst that could happen?" he shrugged and rose.
" Huh… you die?" Nova reminded. " The final wave is starting now aren't you gonna reload the shotgun?" His system asked.
" Nah! Imma go with this, makes me feel lighter" He fixed his eyes on his next set of targets. " How many are they?"
" They're thirty six, however they're more tough than the previous ones" Nova replied. " What?" Recoil said in surprise.
Their range was still far beyond the gun's capabilities so Recoil cycled through their stats while he waited for them to get within range.

He suppressed a curse and fired rapidly at their legs to slow them down then tightening his grip on his knife lunged forward.
" "In a fight one will fall, one will rise but I shall be the one to see the next sunrise"" he said drawing strength from it and lunged forward with everything he had.
The Glock was less powerful than the shotgun and therefore dealt less damage, therefore the fastest death required two or three repeated shots to the head.
He came up to one and slashed at it's neck in one fluid motion inflicting a rare -150 points damage…
Recoil sat atop the rock he did earlier, his chest heaving in exhaustion. " Weldone Recoil" his system whooped. " thirty six kills, thirty four head shots…
His exhaustion blocked out Nova's voice while he surveyed his environment. "... Total kills 162!"

It was already in the dead of the night and with the game's time dilation to the real world 2:1 he knew it'll probably be late in the real world too.
" Will you want to unlock a new skill? Your skill points should be able to unlock one" Nova offered.
" Yeah why not" He agreed and tapped the random selection from the list of skills which changes with each update.
The bar eventually settled on " Quantum leap" " I'm beat" Recoil said with a yawn and logged out…
Ethan opened his eyes in his gamer room again and checked his watch, it was ten thirty pm and he would be beginning his shift at work early so he hit the rack immediately.
His alarm woke him up with a soft beep and he hurriedly off to work, he had always been a little introverted but since his parents death he couldn't help it.
He only spoke to his employer when necessary and hardly ever spoke to any of his colleagues at work they had tried several times to bring him out of his shell and eventually stopped after misjudging him as snobbish.
He shrugged when he thought about it while working on a car. " Maybe it was better this way" he thought.
At the close of work normally he would grab a bite and play games at home till he could sleep but this time he took a takeout and headed home immediately.
He ate his meal in silence along with a bottle of Coca cola. Then logged into the Eternity edge community, he wasn't the only one who saw the quest as being difficult.
In the community a player complained of the quests difficulties and slow level up, the response of the other players to this was for him to get a mentor.
Another complained about the gameplay, it was supposed to be a VRMMORPG but he's unable to find other players.
He searched for replies on that but got nothing, while he waited for sleep to arrive his mind strayed to happier moments…
