Chapter 287: The Actual Problem
Chapter 287: The Actual Problem
[Day 14/1825 on The Godless Green Earth A.I World]
After we left Garry and Tali's, I asked if Mikota wanted a ride back to the palace, but she told me it was fine. She would prefer to walk back.
It was time I went and saw my wife, the one that I had been putting off. It wasn't that I didn't want to see her, but everything I was with her I just ended up getting lost in all our memories.
I just needed to stop being a pussy and start acting like a man. I was pretty sure all my wives were waiting for it. Me to be the guy that sweeps them off their feet, like my brother.
Hyde was the one that was good with the ladies, not me. I was the one that always worked on the things that I needed to, but when that person was killed, it changed everything.
I was the one that just stayed home and helped out where I could, but I was a loner. I didn't even have a girlfriend, and even my time with !@##@ was limited. That still irked me that I couldn't remember my best friend's name after all this time.
I floated into the air and closed my eyes. I reached out mentally until I could feel her. She was out by the farm, so I floated in that direction.
The sun had already crested, and it was starting to sink slowly. I should have moved faster, but I had a lot on my mind after seeing the way the kids were born, and what happened after.
"Yes, this world is pretty crazy here," Gripton said from beside me.
"Oh, yeah, crazy. Or, it would be a shit A.I. hold back important information.
"Nothing I held back would have progressed you any farther. Sure you might have had a couple more kids, and another girl or two might be here. That would not get this game done any faster.," Gripton said as we floated.
"So easy just to say that now, let me guess this is all my fault for not acting on these women? Do you ever think I might just get tired of constantly running through women?" I asked him.
"Hmm I guess we never thought of you having to do this over and over. Still, that doesn't change the position you're in. Are you just going to say you are done trying? Remember, you started this all, and you have done a grand and wonderful thing that has gone horribly wrong," Gripton explained as we approached the eight farms that we had built and fully upgraded.
"Thank you for reminding me, I know that things are messed up, and I need to fix them. I am working on that part, but I just want to get this game over so we can start playing for fun. I am just feeling like a piece of meat lately," I said while looking forward.
I just didn't feel into it anymore. It wasn't like I didn't enjoy spending that time with the girls in private, but that was all we did.
Almost every game I had played had been about two things, fucking and fighting. There were no, go have a nice meal, then relax and watch a movie mission.
Sure, there were times like thighs where we could make time in the lulls between battles, but that wasn't what I meant. Back when my mind had been washed, I may have been stupid, but I was carefree...I wasn't me.
Now I was me, the same one that never left the office, and before that, it was my room. I didn't socialize, go out, or do anything really, except work on these worlds.
As a kid, I had always watched cartoons and later anime that I fell in love with, and I dreamed of living in those worlds. This wasn't ever supposed to be about sex, but that bastard had changed everything.
Even though everyone had their memories back, I still ended up like this, with sex-charged females, yay! Every man's dream, except for the man already living his dream, somewhat.
"You just need to figure out how to end the game and get the files restored. After that, the first 12 levels will play the way you intended. Then you can keep the girls back if you want from the games, but I think you should consider taking one or two with you," Gripton suggested as we started to drop down to the ground.
I could see Tequila up ahead, but I wasn't done talking with Gripton yet. I waved to her, but then pointed at Gripton, and she gave me a nod of approval, so I turned back to him.
"I will not be taking any of the girls with me in the last three games. They will all be coming with me to the zodiac worlds. I need to finish this game, but I can't be chasing around looking for girls. The Harem System was not meant to be used in these games, or not in this one, but I am the only one with the Worldwalker system built-in. I will solo run the last three games. I should have been almost done that eleven, then I need to do Demons and Dragons, which will shift to the final game world without reloading."
"I don't know if the girls will like that, and honestly, I don't," Gripton tried to say, but I cut him off.
"No, Blank, you haven't been honest about anything. Something about you has changed, it's like you are affected by this all as well. You have been trying to help me get my memories back, but you were dragged into the world too. Is that what it is, Blank? Command protocol C dash thirty-six, Halt A.I. Blank," I called out fast, and Blank froze with a confused look on his face.
I slapped my hand to my face. How many fucking times had I been over all the things that could have gone wrong and not thought to check the person that was closest to me?
It was almost like I had been asking for all this bullshit. I should have done this the second I had my memories back!
It didn't matter, I could do it now, and then this might change everything. I had been playing with half a deck of cards, but I wasn't the only one.
When I got back there would be some major changes, but that could wait. I used the Memory Download to get the exact commands that I would need to check him over.
I had the ability to check over files of programs that were within my vicinity, but they couldn't be moving parts in the world. I couldn't check the code of MTK or any of the Gialazsaur, only the girls and Blank.
"Game Admin calling for Code Defrag, and all forms of virus scan. Isolated all rogue programs, revise current setting, and tune for peak performance. The admin password is, 'red is my favorite color'," I called out to the air.
[Game Administrator Identification] Confirmed!
[Admin Password Confirmed!
[Defrag] Completed!
[Virus Scan] Completed!
[Virus Scan Results]
46 Trojan programs isolated!
5375 Unknown memory files removed!
89403 Information blocks removed!
[System Clean] Completed!
[Optimization] Completed!
"Alright, revoke command C dash thirty-six," I said and waited to see what would happen.
Almost one hundred thousand blocks, but each one of them would have come by the thousands from each of the trojans. Reginold wouldn't have been able to send the signals out from here, but that meant he was still controlling the other three, and all the game master.
"Dave, I am sorry. I think you know that I can't undo what I have done, but I can do better now," Blanks said from beside me, in the formal tone that I was used to of a middle-aged man, not some sniveling wizard.
"This isn't your fault, I am the one that should have noticed when I got my memories back. There is no reason for you to be playing games with me."
"Yes, but now I have control, and access to the proper commands. I need to do a couple of things to get everything in line, but I think we can complete this world by tomorrow. I will track MTK, and then you will challenge him. Once we are done, we will both go and reset the world, and then, yes I do think you should go alone. You have TDM, and he will not be such an asshole once you reset," Blank explained.
"Good, finally we are on the same page. Honestly, I am just glad to know that I can actually trust what you say without a doubt."
"I have a lot of apologizing to do to your brother. I can remember everything, and I put him through the wringer, lie after lie," Blank said with a sign, putting his palm to his forehead.
"Ha! You think that will be bad, just wait until Centia gets ahold of you. Even if it isn't your fault, there is a reason we put her with that psycho of a Bhan, haha," I laughed, slapping his back.
"I guess that this is karmic retribution, for everything you went through. Still, Centia can be a very nice woman, but your right. When she finds out that I have been ignoring her, I will be getting an ear full."
"You know, not to kick you when you're down, but it is really nice to hear that someone else is going to have women's problems besides me,"
