White Online

''What do you mean?'' Isaac asked.

Bam!

Dark Isaac slammed the ground and shakily tried to stand up but couldn't even lift his arm, ''Argh, f*cking mortal body!''

''What did you mean by that?'' Isaac asked one more time. His feet tapped the ground impatiently.

''That forest…'' Dark Isaac grabbed a handful of grains of sand and rubbed them to his skin, ''Snowstorm… Remember?''

''Yes.'' Isaac crossed his arms. He already knew what forest he was talking about. That forest had constantly been circling around in his memory.

He remembered most of his childhood. But, the days around the time of the Snowstorm were very hazy.

''You… You weren't supposed to be there!'' Dark spots started emerging from the corners of his eyes. Tears started skimming through the skin. However, the tears were made of black goo.

''What do you mean?''

''You… You found something there, didn't you?'' He asked while skimming through Isaac's body, ''You found… Something.''

''Eh?'' Isaac rubbed his temples, 'I found something? What did I find?'

''Return it…'' His words at first were calm before turning hateful, ''Return that item to the boulder, please!''

Isaac wasn't sure what he meant, ''I don't know what you are talking about,''

''LIAR!'' Dark Isaac wasn't buying it. He scratched his hair, began tugging it, and almost tore his hair from the scalp.

''I really don't know what you are talking about.'' Isaac wasn't lying. There was a big void in his mind that stopped him from remembering.

''F*ck…'' Dark Isaac smeared the grains of sand all around his hair. He seemed crazy and unstable.

''I am dying… Because of you!'' This time, Isaac let him talk freely.

''If you didn't go there… You would have become me… This is what we were supposed to be!''

[ ] ''Because of you went there… I died, and you became… That.'' Dark Isaac scanned Isaac from head to toe and was greatly disappointed.

''What a humiliation… You are weak, pitiful, pathetic, nothing like me!''

Isaac's brows creased. He couldn't care less what he talked about him. After all, he was the one standing while Dark Isaac was defeated on the ground.

Dark Isaac stopped tugging his hair and calmed for a second, ''Let me tell you… About what we should have become.''

''I was like you… I had a massive crush on Amanda, and I would have married her.'' Dark Isaac seemed very confident. Then, his face became enraged with his teeth cracking.

''Then… That piece of shit, Oliver… How dare he do that to me…'' His body trembled as he curled into a fetal position, ''I was… Stuck in the hospital… For so long…''

''My parents visited me… However, I soon saw their faces changing every time they visited me… They knew I had changed…''

''And I did… I became strong!''

''One day, I escaped the hospital and went to the school. All the classes were ongoing. I went to the kitchen, grabbed all the sharp items I could find…''

His mouth twitched until becoming a crazed smile, ''I started from my class… I appeared out of nowhere, and everyone seemed excited to see me… Except for Oliver and his friends.''

''Then, I knew… It was him who did this to me!''

''The teacher came to me, asking if I am alright… I stabbed her… Then, the class became chaos… I killed all of them…''

''I killed Amanda… Who cried while hugging me, and then finally… Oliver and his friends, they suffered the most…''

''I went to other classes next, continued that trend… Once every third-year died… I went to second and first-year classes…''

He took a deep breath and continued, ''And lastly… I killed Alice… She begged me to stop, but I didn't and slit her throat.''

Isaac's eyes shook in shock. The sinking feeling around his stomach grew. When he glanced at his hands, he thought, how could he do such a terrible thing?

''Hahahaha…'' Dark Isaac suddenly laughed and raised his finger, ''Then… I went to visit my parents… Killed them as well! They weren't expecting it… Shame that my murder spree had to come to an end. The police were already searching for me.''

''I stole VR Helmet from Marvin and went into hiding. I brought the same chaos to White Online, and I was soon known as Black Death!''

''Hahahaha!'' His laughter irritated Isaac's ears.

Isaac's face quickly became enraged. He picked up a rock from the ground and circled around him, ''You are an illusion… You can't be real.''

''Hah!'' Dark Isaac looked at him like a fool, ''Nothing is an illusion! White Online is real. Everything is real!''

''How could you… Be so pathetic?'' Isaac stopped behind him and grabbed Dark Isaac's dirty dark hair, ''You are… Not me!''

Dark Isaac whipped his head around and showed his dark red tongue, ''You are right. I am not you. I am Black Death, the one who will bring the world to its knees!''

''No… You won't.'' Isaac raised his arm and smacked the rock into Dark Isaac's temple!

Dark Isaac recoiled to the side and crashed to the ground. The skin ruptured and showed half of his skull, ''Argh, you bastard!''

Isaac mounted him and raised his arms. The rock was placed in his clenched hands.

''This is for my family, you f*cking coward!''

Crack!

The first strike broke Dark Isaac's nose.

Crack!

The second strike broke Dark Isaac's skin.

Crack!

Then, the final strike broke Dark Isaac's skull. The rock pierced through the head and was crammed inside.

Isaac watched as Dark Isaac stopped moving. Whatever was running inside his veins also died down.

''Haaahh…'' He stood up and stumbled forward for several meters. Before slumping down on the ground, the stairway was only an inch away from him.

Ding! Ding!

[Test of Yourself Completed!]

[3/3]

Creak!

A shimmer of light appeared as the stone door creaked open slowly.

''Interface…'' Isaac's finger hovered in front of the Friend List, and he tapped it gently.

He sent a message to Marvin, asking if he and the others were alright. Only five seconds later, he received a reply.

Marvin said that everyone was doing good. He knew Isaac like the back of his hand and instantly continued with a concerned question. Was he alright?

Isaac quickly replied back. Then, he closed the Interface and stood up. He walked down the stairway and reached the open stone door.

''You are not me…'' Isaac was aiming those words at himself. He was trying to ensure himself that he was nothing like Dark Isaac.

''I will show you…'' He stepped inside the room, and the stone door closed behind him.

The previous cavern became dark, the cracks in the ceiling recovered, and Dark Isaac's lifeless body became a clump of pixels.
