The environment was filled with and mired with pitfalls, foliage and covered by fog.

In the post-apocalyptic bayous of Louisana, one small misstep could be your last; this was what the military clad young man knew as he blended into his surroundings and looked for his target.

All was going according to plan, so far. That is... until he felt the bracer on his arm vibrate and it automatically opened a holographic window showing a text message and quickly checked his bracer.

'To Joseph0014, your package has arrived. Please claim it from your mailbox', it was just a damned notification from the system.

Crap.... he thought as he instinctively dodged a knife that was thrown at him, the vibration from the window probably alerted his opponent.

"You're pretty good, for a Free-User!" the feminine voice of his opponent said as he regained his composure and pulled out his assault rifle, she was still hiding somewhere in the area and she was definitely close.

"You do realize that this game doesn't even have free users and paying users, right?" he retorted while he locked on to her presence, he would find her and once he locked on, she would not escape.

"Yeah, I know", she said as he locked on to where she was and caused him to fire about ten rapid shots, there was no way she could have survived that.

Or so he thought as he approached where body should be and found a hanging vine that had the lips of a human.

"I was just distracting you", the vine said as he got knocked down and felt an excruciatingly painful blow to the back as a swift kick knocked him down.

Rolling away, he only barely avoided another knife that had been thrown and upon regaining his ground and standing, he aimed his rifle's bayonet at his opponent's neck.

What he saw, made his heart jump a bit.

The girl he was fighting against had long, braided hair colored a pale blond and wearing a mask on the top half of her face that resembled a fox paired with a tunic that had only one sleeve and matching pants that reminded him of tanned deer hide that housed an hourglass figure but the problem was that was looked to only be in Junior High.

He glanced at her username for a quick moment and saw her username: InvaderCynder.

And he just knew that what she saw was a guy wearing military attire with a bandanna on the lower half of his face, armed to the teeth; obviously not a guy she should take lightly yet completely unremarkable.

The way he looked at her gave her an idea on just how to take advantage of the current situation.

"How's about a bet? If I win, you become my slave. If you win, I'll go out with you", she confidently declared as if it was a fact and in a split second blocked all the shots fired at her head with a wall of stone.

All was going according to plan as she jumped and rubbed her hands together to produce stactic electricity which then grew to be a huge current of electricity that she blasted at the ground where her target was.

It was already a sure victory.

Or so she thought.

The feel of cold steel touched her exposed neck, surprising her and also stunning her as a sharp pain invaded her nape.

"Sorry but dating Junior High Schoolers isn't my thing" he said as she closed her eyes with a smile.

This was the first time she had ever lost since she started this game, her heart was beating pretty fast as she realized that her vision was fading out.

Looks like she, the hunter, just became the prey.
