The Dark Monarch

Prologue

Search everywhere and find me that lost temple now" Bane spoke in a deep voice so loud the rogues in suit became frightened they hurriedly scattered around searching the island with different gadgets aiding them in their search.

After an hour of locating the underground temple and forcing their way inside, they finally found a huge wall obstructing them from getting to the room.

Bane could identify the signs and seal on the wall, he knew this was the only obstacle between him and his goal, without thinking twice he uttered.

"Bring this wall down" His order took place immediately. A rogue activated a bomb and toss it to the wall which exploded upon contact shaking the entire surrounding.

Due to their distance the effect of the blast came no where near them. He moved into the room with a touch regardless of the dust, after a certain period of time he came out smirking while holding a green glowing crystal.

He took his phone out and answered a call.

"Mission accomplished sir, I have found the crystal "

The building is a huge wide and tall skyscraper inside it an elevator got to a floor and then it stopped and opened.

Bane walked inside his office and handed over the green glowing crystal to Mr X his boss the owner of X-Station Game Company.

"Finally after so many years of research ad search I have the crystal " Mr X muttered walking towards a safe door he opened and a huge game box which controls the game network and all other things about the game, at the middle the was a hole while he placed the crystal which closed almost immediately after he kept it.

After some seconds green bright dazzling light flashed simultaneously with series of sparks encompassing the game box but without damaging the it and then it stopped.

"Hahaha, yes it worked, I did it" He made a sinister laugh and then he motioned to another area viewing dozens of his workers below busy sitting and facing their systems programming, repairing and other stuff he cared less.

Well we don't get to pick, Jace was given a female AI he named Bridge, Jace tried programming to be friendly and drop the formality but end up failing.

"Hey Bridget, log Into the game for me and by the way do I have a notification"

"Affirmative" Compared to other VR game the X-Station VR game is considered the best; a more advanced one. It scanned my optic instead of asking for password and it logged into X-Generation and I chose the last level so I could finish the game.
