subscribe and hit the bell
sit back and get comfortable I have a
few stories to share with you
about a year ago I discovered a game
called fortnight yeah me and millions of
other poor souls at first I didn't get
it I found the game extremely boring
jump out of a plane look for weapons and
materials and try to stay alive until
the end even though I wasn't having a
lot of fun I stuck with it because other
loves it so I should too right after a
few days of playing the game
I just became addicted out of nowhere
each day I spent more and more time
playing when I wasn't playing I wasn't
reddit reading about fortnight or on
Twitch or YouTube watching others play
fortnight the game took over my life and
bank account well I say bank account but
that didn't last long as those funds ran
out rather quickly that it was the
credit card that funded my addiction
the game is free-to-play what are you
talking about to play the game it is
free but you will walk the swag the
skins the back leg the pickaxe s the
emotes and the barrel pass will sink
their teeth in you and you will spend
more money than you will ever dreamed I
was buying everything I was spending
thousands of dollars I didn't have on
these digital items they made me feel
cool and I didn't feel cool in real life
so this was a welcome change
I was Guildmaster of a fourth I deal
with over a hundred members I was
treated with respect which is something
I did not have in real life I eventually
dropped out of college and quit my
part-time job to give myself a hundred
percent a fortnight the real world cease
to exist in my mind at least a gamer
named dr. gruesome 666 became a member
of my guild the Masons we started to
play duo's together on a daily basis
the G as I called him for short was an
odd fellow but an elite player so I
looked past the odd stuff there were
times when he wouldn't chat at all and
we just spent heavily when he did talk
he sounded like he was using one of
those filters to disguise his voice like
I said he was odd but he was an amazing
player so that didn't matter to me
one night about two weeks after he
joined he said he was going to leave the
guild I was shocked and I didn't want
this to happen he helped us to win a lot
of matches and even some tournaments I
asked him what game he was migrating to
he asked if I was familiar with the Deep
Web I told him I was as far as knowing
what it was but I never accessed it
before he told me that there was a
hacked fortnight client that was being
played on the Deep Web it was called
blast right I immediately was thinking
bullcrap but deechi never joked about
anything he told me that the core
gameplay was the same but the game was
darker and much more macabre the map was
laid out the same but sections were
named differently and were more sinister
aesthetically I was rather shocked by
some of the names instead of risky
wheels it was called rapist thrills
dusty divot was named bloody boots
pleasant Park was named agony Avenue and
greasy Grove was named disembowel Drive
I won't list the other places but you
get the idea the water in the game was
of course blood according to D G he said
the skins were very disturbing he said
he found one that went perfectly when
his name dr. gruesome
666 he said the skin was called
abortionist he said he looked like a
zombie with a red bloody smock on
the pickaxe was a huge rusty bloody
scalpel with chunks of gore dripping off
of it and his back leg was an aborted
fetus the glider that went with the set
was a trio of babies stitched up like
the human centipede movie with baby
crying sound effects I just couldn't
believe it
and finally called bullshit he got
really angry and told me to go to hell
and stick with fortnight he said all the
elite are heading to last right and he
thought I would be interested or he
wouldn't have even brought it up I of
course didn't want to be left out of
anything even remotely having to do with
fortnight so I took the bait
DG said he would I am a with directions
of how to download the tor browser and
setting up all the security I would need
after I got that set up he would send me
a link to download last right I always
had a curiosity about the Deep Web but I
was too apprehensive to actually check
it out for myself I have listened to a
dozen of supposedly true Deep Web
stories on YouTube and they made me
think twice even though I was pretty
sure they were all bullshit
I got everything up and running and away
we went into the Deep Web DG sent me a
link which was a bunch of numbers
certainly nothing I had ever seen before
it came to a black screen with a black
cursor in the center I figured I had
keyed the address wrong as I was about
to leave the page
I saw hello appear where the cursor was
textbox appeared below no I thought the
type was hey back state your intention
I'm sorry it must be at the wrong site I
was looking for a game called last right
that my friend told me about and sent
you this is getting weirder by the
second where the heck does this matter
who sent me a friend named dr. gruesome
666 I waited for about 20 seconds
thinking this was not where I was
supposed to be welcome to us right now
there was a small meat cleaver spinning
and slinging blood all over the screen
my assumption was that the next page was
loading after about five minutes the
screen state black but the word last
ride was in red and appeared in a font
that looked like throbbing blood vessels
I put my mouse over the title and
clicked I know the so download began
immediately foreign FN h ehe dot exe
file it was pretty disconcerning that
something was automatically downloading
i was inclined to just unplug but
curiosity is a bitch the download size
was 666 megabyte I must admit that
seeing that number gave me the creeps
this whole situation was starting to
freak me out a bit after about 5 minutes
the download had finished and it was
automatically installing isn't this
friggin thing supposed to ask me if I
want to install of course my home screen
goes black and I just seen the words
installing in a white bone looking font
after the installation finished I got a
message in this client from DG it said
hey Mike glad you made it I hope you
didn't have any difficulties how the
hell is DG messaging me
I haven't even registered or selected a
name Jesus how the hell does he even
know my real name Mike
I'm the owner and architect of last
right and I want to thank you for being
such a good friend to me I'm going to
design a skin for you you want male or
female I'm starting to shit bricks to
this point however I go along and say
male you got it Mike
stop video feed immediately pops up the
video quality is crisp and clear
probably 1080p a curtain pulls up and
there's a nude men chained out by his
arms and legs he appears to have one of
those bald eggs in his mouth and he's
breathing heavily and sweating like a
pig his eyes are wide open and he's
terrified out of his mind I couldn't
believe what I was seeing what the hell
is going on where the hell am i what the
hell am i watching then metal door
opened slowly
it's a men in a white bloody smock than
a talk to me where he waves in the
camera and walks in front of the men hey
Mike Anderson how's the weather in
Wilmington what the hell is going on who
is that guy how do you know all this
stuff
I'm dr. gruesome and I know everything
about you Mike
Oh buddy old pal you are my buddy right
Mike he was a special gift for you it
isn't every day that a player can design
his own skin this sweaty fellow back
here is going to play an important role
in making that happen
aren't you Jeff GG slaps the man on the
cheek lightly a few times as he slaps
the man I noticed a backpack bouncing on
DG's back Mike check out my back blank I
told you about it the other day he
turned his back to the camera and there
appeared to be a bloody something there
then I remembered what he mentioned in
our chat earlier it couldn't be he
backed out towards the camera to give me
a closer look and it appeared to be a
fetus was it real I hope to god not but
he was pretty damn convincing he was
jumping up and down laughing trying to
make the fetus move i wrenched and
vomited in a trash can beside my
computer
Nietzsche then pulls out the biggest
knife I've ever seen and appears to put
the blade on a sharpener
the metallic screech made every hair on
my body stand up
sparks sprayed everywhere at one of
those 4th of July's park hosts I held in
my hand as a child that should do it
nice and sharp creating a new skin for
our players requires a sharp knife if
you're going to do something do it right
that's what my father always used to say
DG walks over to the screaming men and
proceeds to use his knife on him in ways
I would not describe here how does this
look Mike is this what you were
envisioning will this make you look old
G the Faceless Man began convulsing and
his scream sounded completely different
than before this had to be a nightmare
this can't be real
what am I witnessing here I'm calling
the police
Mike I figure there was a high
possibility that you might say that
here's the situation my friend we're
going to finish up with our friend Jeff
here in a bit what that means is that I
need another guy for the next player
that wants a male skin I have located
and sent some of my associate to get my
neck skin you actually know this guy his
name is Brad my stomach dropped Brad no
it couldn't be
actually it can Mike isn't your brother
named Brad Brad Anderson
he lives in Wilmington
he has a nice little apartment with his
girlfriend he works Monday through
Friday at a local Best Buy a couple of
miles down the street ten to seven I
think my blood went ice-cold everything
he was saying was true it was my brother
I grabbed my cell phone and began to
dial his number I had a video message
from Brad waiting for me my brother had
duct tape on his mouth and had been
beaten his left eye was swollen shut and
his nose was bloody my phone fell to the
floor and I dropped to my knees I was
sobbing you know he vomited once more
what do you want for me what do I need to do
Mike you can send a message back
to Brad for me
what do you want me to say
I want you to tell him  Goodbye.
