Chapter 6: did that really happen?
Damnit... this simulation is way too realistic! I've never tried VR before, but I can smell the smoke and feel every single change, anyway.
"You've been looking a bit pale Jae-wook"
I raised an eyebrow at Ha-joon's remark.
"Pale? That's strange" a wave of cold air hit me, like I just got out of the shower and stepped into the arctic. I coughed a bit and kept walking
I was slightly shaking aswell
"Stop- don't take another step forward" Ki-tae abruptly said. A fist came right out of the ground in an uppercut trying to hit someone. One guy was hit and sent flying straight into the sky.
A loud explosion that rang through my ears led to a bloated 3 meter tall kaiju with one eye arising from the ground. The creature began puking out acid in every direction like some sort of twisted fountain.
"You inflated fucker" I gritted my teeth and gripped onto my new weapon. A two meter long staff with a trigger and scope, this wasn't just a simple staff, it was also a rocket launcher. Ki-tae slammed the creature into a wall and bullets rained down on the kaiju. I held onto my staff and bonked the creature right on the head before jumping right of it and launching a rocket at it. The kaiju saw the rocket and plates of armor began appearing around it's body
"Kill that thing!"
"You killed Kim you bastard!"
People roared out. The kaiju grabbed Ki-tae right by the face and slammed him onto the floor
"Guh-!" If it wasn't for the Chimera Skin's armor he would have been dead, but that's obvious.
Ha-joon slid right under the kaiju trying to stick Ki-tae's javelin between it's legs. The others shot at it to distract. The creature only had one eye so I used that to my advantage. I tried shoving my staff right into its one eye. This bastar surely wouldn't be able to block this right? Or atleast that's what I thought.
"Huh?" Ha-joon looked confused. The kaiju was looking straight at him and began puking. It used it's puke to launch itself of the ground and tried belly flopping onto him with its armored stomach... what the hell is wrong with it?
I thought frantically of a way to stop it from crushing him.
"Take this fatass" a female voice could be heard from the ruins. A long chain with a sickle at the end wrapped around the kaiju and the woman spun it around before slamming it onto the ground
Something hit me... jealousy? Why was I feeling this way? Anyway
I ran up to help along with the rest of the crew. Ki-tae finally arose, he grabbed his shield and looked around for his javelin. "W-where the hell?" He looked up and saw a javelin flying straight at his face
"There you go" Ha-joon winked at his direction as he ran with the group.
The kaiju began spitting acid around itself in an attempt to make distance. You might think acid like that couldn't melt through the Chimera Skin... but if that was the case then it would have been dead already
Ha-joon launched himself of an abandoned and destroyed car and pointed an explosive arrow right at the kaijus eye. I swung my staff full force at its leg while the girl kept it restrained with her chains.
"Share some with the rest of us!" I shouted and swung at it's legs. Only managing to break off a little armor. To my shock this damned thing began spinning. The girl was flung around while the kaiju spun and puked poison. I really thought this would have been easier.
"Everyone back away!"
Ki-tae's shout was heard very clearly... and I had an idea
The kaiju escaped from its chains, it's gaze Locked onto me as I sprinted at it. The bottom of the staff opened up and I pressed it against the kaijus stomach before launching the rocket at point blank range. Half of the staff was completely destroyed but I didn't care cause it's armor had broken off. The girl with the chain wrapped it around the kaijus leg.
Ki-tae launched his javelin right at the kaijus leg and it came out the other side of it's head. The kaiju was knocked onto the ground and I jumped up into the air. I air dropped onto the kaiju with my staff pointed right at its stomach.
THUK!
Acid left its mouth like a geyser, it's stomach deflating like a balloon. I looked up and grimaced. I wasn't making it past this huh?
And everything faded to black

Knock knock
"Mr Beom... you've got a visitor" the nurses voice sounded like sweet honey, she's pretty fine if he had to say so himself
"A visitor huh? Is it my son?" Jae-sung Beom. Jae-wook's father. A man who's worked a shit Ton of occupations.
"No, it's ummm... Mrs Kyung-ah Beom" the nurses words made Jae-woo shudder, what could that husk want?
Click clack
High Heels clicked against the floor and a tall woman with long blonde hair entered the room. She wore a Chimera Skin suit along with a lab coat covered in pockets.
"Long time no see hmm? What was it... four years? I missed you" Kyung-ah's voice was stern and cold.
"You got better at faking emotions" Jae-woo replied as he stared out the window "what do you want?"
"I'm just here to talk to you one last time... the world is gonna change soon... it worked..."
She smiled

I snapped back to reality and felt the hands of people tugging at me
"Get the hell out!"
"You alright?!"
What's happening? When my vision fully recovered... I was covered in my own puke.
