Chapter Text
Shedletsky opens the door to the library. His heart is heavy because today they might get some answers and they are probably less than ideal. He looks around, despite the poor state the city is in, the library is clearly taken care off.
Builderman goes for a chat with the librarian. Asking certain questions and getting answers he later shares with the rest. This is the biggest known library that was able to keep the most records of the history from before the disaster. The section they need to look in is the history section, however they might to dig through a lot of books.
At first Shedletsky was doubtful, but after seeing the section he really understood how much history they missed.
- "Well... I guess it's reading time. I hope there will be answers."
- "I share the same opinion friend. But I fear it will tell a while 'till we hit the end."- Dusekkar agrees. Each admin taking one book out of hundreds and starts reading. Being a god has some perks, one of them being an ability to read faster and still understand the words.
The first half of the day they spent reading a lot of myths and legends. They sometimes got amazed of how someone of them got created. Then Shedletsky found a book full of theories and started reading them out loud, but not loud enough to disturb others library visitors.
- "Oh! Check out this one! A multiverse theory!"
- "John my friend. If you get distracted we won't reach the end."- Dusekkar sighs. Shedletsky just rolls his eyes and continues to read.
- "It would be fun if... You know. There were different worlds with us, but our stories completely different! Like... Hmmm... Builderman gets kidnapped, SFOTH swords and time travel shenanigans!"
- "Do you really wish for Builderman's fate to be bad? If so then he has a reason to be mad."
- "Yeah, Yeah. He doesn't even hear us. He's in the zone..... Hmmm... Imagine if I had my own chicken eating context! A world where the hackers take over because of a Player... Or saving Robloxia from Zombies! That would be cool. What do you think Matt?"- Shedletsky says with a smile, staring at the mage who sighs.
- "I will entertain your delusions for a while. What if you ended up beat up and were able to only smile."
- "And you were mad about me 'wishing' bad for Builderman."- Shedletsky sends Dusekkar a small glare. Before neither of them can say anything, Builderman, who is reading records of encountered glitches, speaks up.
- "For Roblox name they still didn't patched it!?"
- "Patched what?"
- "The unnatural Elevator Sightings are still happening! It's the same thing that kept messing up code. You know, this elevator that was constantly appearing in different places in Robloxia?"
- "Ooh! This one. Yeah. I always wanted to enter it. Who knows maybe it would be something interesting? Seeing different floors... If they exist."
- "Shedletsky for Roblox's sake. Please tell me you're not serious."
- "..."
- "Of course you are serious."- Builderman sighs.
The group continues to read. Only taking breaks for food and bathroom. Eventually they started to find more old books and records. After another hour of reading Shedletsky gasps an stares at one page.
- "Shed?"
- "I think I found it... It's a fragment of old newspaper."
- "Shedletsky please tell us what you find. We have a knowing right!"
- "Alright...."
Major Hacker Attack!!!
One of the old hackers was able to get access to Banlands to save their banned teammates. However they happened to unleash something bigger. Because of their hacking attack most of the hackers were able to be set free! The admins that tried to take over control were forced to fight, leading to a battle that spilled blood belonging to hackers and admins.
The only known facts so far are: The Hacker was able to use an exploit that allowed them to have longer lifespan, how they did it is unknown. The Admins are nowhere to be seen.
Is it an end of certain era?
- "Longer lifespan? That had to be one skilled hacker."- Builderman whispers. In shock, the realisation dawning on him. - "Do you remember when Doom mentioned that one error in Banlands that made the prisoner stay forever the same age?"
- "Are you suggesting..."
- "It was planned even when we're were still there...."- Builderman stares at his friends in terror. Everyone realising that whoever started it was a genius.
- "The question unanswered remains. Are our frien-"
- "Before you continue Matt. I'm sure the answer is on the next page. I... Let's just wait a minute... Get our emotions in check."- Shedletsky says, noticing something. Next to the article there are random numbers written in someone's handwriting, looking like they were added later. - "32 11 54 32 11 14 33 15 43 43 22 42 34 45 35"
- "What?"
- "Someone wrote a bunch of odd numbers... Nevermind. Let's just..."- The swordmaster turns the page. Another article shows up. The name of it tells them everything.
- "New Gods Appeared! Bodies are found! The old admin group is just a history..."- Builderman reads.
Despite living for a long time and seeing a lot of things, he can't help but shed tears, hiding his face in his hands. Shedletsky looks like he's about to have a breakdown or kill someone. Dusekkar is staring at the article, like it would suddenly stay it's just a joke.
It doesn't change. The text stays the same. The truth is right before their eyes.
