End Online: Volume 2 by D. Wolfin Page B

little to overconfident and got caught.
    It was the day that he gave me the fluffy red and white hat.
When I returned to the other world, the hat I was wearing had fallen over my
eyes, causing me to walk into a cupboard.
    Lost, hearing a strange noise that surely was not supposed to be
there, came rushing over. That was when our eyes met, and I knew there was no
escaping this one.
    “Have you seriously been logging out into my VL every time I
leave End Online?! Is that even possible?!”
    His voice contained an extremely large amount of surprise. He
used some strange terms I was unfamiliar with, but I could tell that at least
he wasn't mad like I thought he would be.
    He didn't do anything else, not expecting a wolf like me to
be able to answer him, so he walked off shaking his head. He was completely
gone by the time I came around the corner to follow him.
    I transform back into an eighteen year old girl. Sitting on the
couch, I have slowly acquired a taste the black liquid over time and could
pleasantly drink it now. It was quite a risqué scene, but there was no shame as
long as no one ever saw it...
    ***************************************************
    When we returned to what Lost called 'End Online' he proposed a
race to me back to the city, Iceridge. He also promised he would do anything I
liked for a whole day!
    I had a few thoughts about what I would do, but having him play
fight with me would be a waste of an opportunity. Maybe we could go hunting for
the succubus and cause her pain. He did say he would do whatever I wanted!
    I made up my mind as to exactly what I wanted. Steeling my
resolve I eradicated the goblin in front of me and took off, eager to get as
much of a lead as I could. I was extremely confident in my speed, but I was
more than aware of how fast he was. It was that speed of his that originally
impressed me after all.
    The contest took us through the woods where I somehow managed to
create a large gap between us. But his speed was somehow beyond what I
remembered, closing the gap by the time I was half way towards the city.
    The terrain was rough, and four legs should technically hold the
advantage, but he kept closing the distance. Before he got too close I sent off
some ice bolts to slow him down at the very least.
    I finally hit him with one but for some reason he disappeared as
if he was never there! Another image of Lost appeared slightly in front of me.
I have no clue what he is doing, but even as I continue sending ice bolts at
him, every time he all of a sudden is no longer there but somewhere else
instead. Each time he moves he is even further ahead too!
    The rest of the contest was so unfair I got angry at myself for
not doing better. If I was in human form I would have been faster! The same
human form I wanted to reveal to him, then use my demands to have him buy me
clothes and spend a day with just me! No hunting, no parties, just him
listening to my demands for a day!
    Fuming I retract myself from the world, back to the 'Locker'.

    -Lost-
    We spent the entire next week in the 'Unknown Goblin Lair'. I
was a little concerned that Verde hadn't logged on since the incident. I really
wanted to apologize to her.
    I had also been back and forth to town multiple times already,
just to sell loot and ensure I have enough shrink scrolls for Fen. Thanks to
that my infamy has climbed to a grand total of 145. The guards were already
warning me to watch myself.
    "Fen, let's head down to the next level, we are already
strong enough."
    I was already too strong for the goblin warriors, to the point
it would have been one hit kills if I had weapons more appropriate to my level.
Not only that, but I had also figured out the secret methods to silently
activating my new sacred arts.
    We walk down another small ridge along a wall to get to the
third floor.
    It was strange down here. The air was just as dry
