31 Chapter 31 (1/2)

Chapter 31

James got to school with about 20 minutes remaining before classes started. Normally he would simply read a book, or if he had a late night raiding, take a quick nap in his classroom, while the other students trailed in. As such, he made his way quickly to his classroom, doing his best not to stop every time he heard someone mention DCO. It seemed like everyone had something to say about his game, and James wanted to hear it all.

He was grinning by the time he sat down in his classroom, pulling up his keyboard once again. The last group he passed on his way into class, was recounting being ambushed by a flock of dickens while taunted by a scapegoat. James had seen such instances happen multiple times, and it was always funny. He was glad the group recounting the story was smiling as they told the tale, a good sign he felt.

With his keyboard and mouse pulled up, James opened his internet browser, heading over to reddit. While Google was the universal search engine on the internet, reddit was the unofficial hub for any and all information. If you wanted to find a group of people talking about something, anything, there was likely a subreddit for it.

James typed the url in quickly, adding in r/DCO, as he was no stranger to reddit, and was certain that would be the URL. Sure enough, a page pulled up, proclaiming itself to be the main reddit page for Dungeon Core Online. James glanced at the stats on the page, and nearly gasped when he saw the amount of users currently browsing the site. The number was in the millions, and growing. He vaguely recalled the strange man's voice, and the mention of DCO being a social experiment. What could possibly be going on?

Putting his conspiracy theories aside, James navigated his way through the links, narrowing it down from continent to country to state, to city. Someone had been very busy creating this subreddit. Grinning, he finally pulled up his small city, and began browsing through the topics.

Pinned- DCO Hints, Tricks, and Tips

Who are the Knights Who Go Ni?

Demonic Farm Animals?

Looking for a group

Praise the Sun!!!!!!

Looking for a good dicken

James scanned over the pinned, curious to see what the hints, tips, and tricks could be, but first clicked on Demonic Farm Animals? He really wanted to see what the majority thought of his mobs.

Demonic Farm Animals?

*/Kap- Okay, is anybody else wondering what the devs were on? Mad Cows, sheep suicide bombers, and demonic poultry. Seriously WTF!!!

**/masterace6 – Obviously they're insinuating that the fast food industry (looking at you McDonalds!) is ran by the devil, and that every bite is a taste of hell.

***/Smitty79012- You mean like in the Devil's a part timer?

****/LadyStryker- You really think the devs watched that ancient anime?

*****/Smitty79012- they could have….

**/Redikai- The suicide sheep were definitely the worst of them all. Every single time I've died it's always somehow their fault. I barely leveled up because they killed me so many times. Do they target certain people or something?

***/ElKami- Did you try petting them? They look so fluffy

**/Kap- the debuffs these mobs have too. Like seriously, people have probably died more to debuffs than actual combat.

James wanted to respond to them, he really did, but he paused, knowing he wasn't supposed to interact with players. Did that count on the reddit page? Was he able to post as long as he didn't' give away his secret? He figured he would run it by Rue before he did anything, better safe than sorry after all.
