Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

"Please, help me turn her body," Gwen asked, then began to do so with the help of the other colonists. "This is so that his saliva comes out and she doesn't choke."

Leva was really having trouble breathing. Her mouth opened, and the breaths she could take were shallow, and even then, with a long pause between each other. The sound of his breathing can also be heard clearly.

"Please, do something to her." Ivan knelt beside Gwen with tears in his eyes.

Gwen just closed her eyes while still holding Leva's body. My colonists instantly widened their eyes, speechless.

Several minutes passed. Leva's condition showed no change at all. Ms. She was still struggling to breathe, her eyes were barely closing, and her mouth was slightly open.

"Leva, can you hear me?" Gwen asked Leva for the umpteenth time in a few minutes, then checked her pupils with a flashlight.

Leva didn't respond at all.

Manu, Eric, and Seb's faces grew tighter, Kat's tears fell even harder while Ivan continued to pace the room, squeezing his head.

"Please, tell me that you can save her, Gwen." Kat's voice sounded so hoarse.

"I'm begging you too, Gwen," Seb added.

Gwen sighed, then looked at my colonists in turn. "Sorry."

Right after Gwen said that, Leva's breath slowed, then stopped altogether. All of my colonists looked panicked, except for Gwen, who remained calm. The blonde woman performed CPR and artificial respiration on Leva.

"Please, save her, Gwen." I had difficulty speaking because of my heavy crying.

Minutes passed, and I couldn't help but watch anxiously. I don't want to lose her at all. This colony would be much different without it. She had fought so hard up until now. It would be very sad if this amazing woman died.

Gwen stopped performing CPR on Leva's chest.

No….

All of my colonists froze as Gwen covered the red-haired woman's face with the blanket.

"Sorry, I really can't do anything." The blonde haired woman's lips began to tremble.

"Leva..." Kat's expression didn't show any significant emotion anymore like she was in her normal state. However, her tears were still flowing very hard. She then said in a flat tone but very hoarse. "I already promised your sister to protect you, Leva…. Wake up…. Hey…. Did you hear me? Wake up…."

Seb rubbed the amber eyed girl's back, also shedding tears. Manu got up, went to the room's corner, and punched the brick wall. Gwen covered her eyes with both hands, starting to sob too. Meanwhile, Eric just closed his eyes in silence.

The energy in my legs felt as if they were running out. I fell to my knees, staring at the scene that was like a nightmare to me. Leva's life is over? I can't see her face anymore? I can't see her smile again?

Why did this happen?

"I can't accept this." Ivan shook his head. Tears welling up in his eyes. "I won't let Leva die."

What do you mean, bastard? It was clear that Leva was lifeless. Didn't you see? She was no longer breathing, and her face was so pale! I also wanted Leva to live, but it was too late!

"Naomi was able to gain such power after performing the dark ritual. People say that in order for the dark ritual to work, we must have a very strong will." Ivan's tone deepened. "If Naomi can do it, so can I."

"You want to revive Leva again?" Eric, who is now standing, chimed in.

Huh? Did I hear wrong?

My other colonists couldn't help but stare at Ivan with shocked expressions.

Ivan knelt beside the corpse of the woman he loved. "She just died. Her spirit hasn't left her body yet. There's still a chance."

"But, the consequence is that you will disappear," Eric said again, using a cold tone. "You will really vanish…. I've seen it with my own eyes. The person who performed the ritual was suddenly gone, and we couldn't find him anywhere."

"The question is, did the ritual work?"

"That's…." Eric could only gulp.

"Looks like the ritual worked." Ivan's lips formed a bitter smile. "I'm willing to do anything for Leva. I had only felt the joy of fighting all of my life, but after that fateful final match, I felt something different. I want to continue to be by her side."

But, you haven't known Leva that long, Ivan. Are you really sure about doing this?

"That's it." Ivan stood back up. "I don't want to hear rejection. If one person gets in my way, I will kill them without hesitation."

The man's words made all my colonists shudder. Even my body felt like being electrocuted. Ivan's tone was full of determination and made it clear that nothing would stop him at all.

"All of you, you better shut up and don't disturb Ivan. Just let him do what he wants." I hissed at all my colonists. "You guys also want Leva to come back, right?"

And my people do what I say. They shifted back to make room for Ivan. Almost all of them wore frightened expressions. Except for Kat, of course. The amber-haired woman displayed a blank expression again.

I don't know if they are like that because of my orders or if they really want Leva to come back alive. Or maybe both. Perhaps one of them wanted to argue, but in their hearts, they wanted Leva to be alive, and what I just said only made them justify their wish.

"I'm glad to meet all of you. You all are great people." Ivan looked at my colonists one by one and smiled. "Goodbye."

Maybe I can still ask Ivan to stop this madness. Or perhaps I can get my other colonists to work together to stop the man.

However, now I've thrown away my morals. I don't want to lose my colonist, who has been a part of my life. I will do anything, even at the cost of other people's lives.

Ivan pulled a knife from the back of his pants, then stuck the sharp part into his forearm.
