Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

The sun had already set. My colonists just sat in silence. Leva's body was still lying in the middle of the room, covered by the blanket decorated with the large bloodstain.

"Well, Ivan really disappeared," Seb said quietly. "Does this mean we sacrificed people again, but this time we got no results?"

Seb was clearly referring to some of the craziest things I've done for this colony, especially about the salt cave and Congraylham.

"What do you mean by that, Seb?" Unusually, Kat asked like that. The amber-eyed ladies didn't look at Seb at all.

Seb had opened his mouth again, maybe to argue. But he chose to shake his head instead. "Nothing."

Gwen looked at me with a curious expression.

"That's a long story." I sighed. "And now I'm not in the mood to tell."

"I understand Seb's feelings." Manu joins in. "We do all that to survive indeed, but we will never be able to forget the guilt we feel."

Can we still be called humans if they or I lose that guilt?

"Hey...." Eric hissed, then pointed at Leva's body.

Our attention was immediately drawn to the body, which turned out to be squirming. I immediately held my breath, still unable to believe my vision, even though I had met H, who promised to revive Leva.

"Haaaaahhhh!!!" Leva straightened up and took a deep breath. Her eyes opened wide, and she looked around. Then, she studied her hands. "What happened? Shouldn't I be dead?"

I wiped my tears. The woman really came back to life. Move and breathe as before. There are no signs of any disease on her.

My colonists approached Leva. Kat knelt and hugged the red-haired woman's body, tears welling up in her eyes. Even so, Kat's expression was still blank.

Almost all of Leva's stats dropped between 1-3 points. In addition, there is one trait that is missing, namely the Forecast of impending danger. However, I don't care about any of that. The important thing is that Leva has got her life again.

My colonists took turns hugging Leva's body, and then they sat around the red-haired woman. Manu and Seb also shed tears like Kat. The two of them—other than Kat, of course—were people who had known Leva longer after all.

"What do you feel now?" Gwen asked while checking Leva's pulse on the wrist.

Leva shook her head slowly. "I feel very healthy. My throat is not itchy, my joints are not stiff, my headache is gone, and my breathing is normal."

"Your fever's gone too."

Leva looked at her hands again, then looked at the others. "So, I really am dead, right? I can already see Pif and my sister…. It was like a dream, but then everything was so dark…. Hey, where's Ivan?"

All of my other colonists fell silent, making Leva raise an eyebrow in confusion.

"He was doing a ritual." Manu sighs after some time have passed. "A dark ritual."

Slowly, Leva's eyes opened wide. Then, she turned her head to the bloodstained blanket that lay not far from where she was.

"He sacrificed himself," Seb added with quivering lips. "He …. Has disappeared without a trace."

The red-haired woman shook her head in a stiff motion. "No. Don't be joking at a time like this, please."

The atmosphere was quiet again. No one dared look at Leva. The red-haired woman looked even more confused and finally snapped, "Hey, please answer me! Where is Ivan…"

"He's really gone, Leva." Kat cut off Leva's words. "We have no reason to lie to you."

Leva froze, slowly tears dripping from her eyes one by one. She rose to her feet, then picked up the bloodstained blanket from the floor.

"I don't understand you, Ivan." Leva began to speak in a hoarse voice. "We haven't known each other for long, but why are you willing to sacrifice this for me? You are crazy…. And stupid…. Idiot…."

The woman's tears fell harder and harder, and then she hugged the blanket tightly.

***

Leva was not accompanied by anyone at her request when she visited the colony graveyard. She illuminates the tombstones of two graves using the torch she carries. Then, the red-haired woman wiped her tears and said in a low voice. "I'm sorry I couldn't accompany you two."

"It seems you are very close to those two, huh?"

Leva looked back to find Gwen walking towards her. "What's the matter with you following me? Aren't you healed yet?"

Gwen coughed, then smiled faintly. "I feel like someone ordered me to come here."

The woman glanced at me. Yes, I did ask her to come here.

"I see." Leva looked at the two graves again.

"I can see them with my psychic powers."

Leva turned her head back to the blonde haired woman. "What?"

"There is a man who is hugging you." Gwen widened her smile.

Yes, I can see a white transparent figure, which is clearly a representation of Pif. And indeed, the figure was hugging Leva.

Gwen walked over to Leva and took her colony mate's torch. Then, she positioned Leva's hands so that it was like hugging Pif's spirit body.

Leva's tears flowed again. "If you're lying, I'll pull out all your pubic hair at once, Gwen."

Well, actually, Gwen barely has pubic hair.

Smiling again, Gwen shrugged. "Ah, near you, there is also a small girl. Her hands are on her hips, and she looks at the two of you. It looks like she's…. Angry Ah, maybe she want to hug you too."

"Thanks, Gwen.." Leva hissed while looking down.
