The Flunk

I: The Classroom
It was a normal day, other than the fact that I had to attend to my grandfather's funeral tomorrow. I was in one of my school's many classrooms. Today was the day we were all dreading. Our math exams. As we all started our work, my friend Stephen passed me a note. I picked it up to see what he was trying to tell me, but, my teacher came around just as I grabbed it.

"Passing notes?" asked Mrs. Green. "That's an hour of detention for you, Alan." I sighed as she walked away. I decided to see what the note said.

''join roblox again! i miss u''

- stephen

Really! I just got an hour of detention because my friend wants me to play some video game! You have got to be kidding.

When Stephen said "join roblox again" he meant that I had already played before. My old account was hacked. No, not by those fake John Doe hackers. Just by regular hackers. Ones that were just doing their job.

During detention, I thought about what Stephen had said. Maybe I should give Roblox another chance.

II: The Re-join
It was after the funeral now and I was on the Roblox sign-up page. I set my birthday. And my password. And everything else, except than the username. I finally decided on the name Flunk5873984620782764. As soon as I got into the account, I went to go play a game. I scrolled around for a little while and clicked the play button for Build a Boat for Treasure. After I played that for a little while, a clicked the games button. It did bring me to the games page, but when I got there, I wasn't logged in. I tried logging back in, but it wouldn't let me. I searched up my username, but nothing came up. It was as if the account never existed.

This didn't bother me, however. I just created a new account and continued playing games.

III: The Amazement
I was playing Roblox on my new account, imnotflunk12345678909. Then a player joined my game. For some reason, I wanted to look at their username. I looked at the player list and saw the name Flunk5873984620782764. I was amazed at it! It was my account! I decided to follow the player so I could further keep track of it.

Later that day I looked at my follows list. I saw the name Flunk5873984620782764. I clicked on the profile, but then something came up that scared me. The account's status was "Please help me, Alan."

IV: The Ghost
Every day, from now on, I would keep track of the account. Every day, it's status would change. One day it was, "A chamber of ice. Just a small dot in the wide universe." Another it was, "It doesn't guard very often. Please rescue me."

Finally, after a week, I found it playing a game. The weird thing was, I could join it from the profile page. As I clicked join, a thought went through my head. 'Why am I doing this. I don't want to be here. I don't want to be here. I don't want to be here. I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE!' Then I woke up. It was all a dream. At least that's what I thought until I turned on my computer.

V: The Clock
When I turned it on, I was in a game. The worst part was, I could see my old username in the player list. I searched around the game for a bit. It was themed as if it were an abandoned science lab. Interesting. Eventually, I came to a room. Well, more like a hallway. I walked down the hallway for about an hour.

There I saw Flunk, in some sort of test tube thing. Then Flunk said, "The clock is ticking Alan. They are not guarding. Save me before the transformation is complete." I asked Flunk, "Who is not guarding? What Transformation? How would I save you?" Even though me and Flunk were the only ones in game, a chat message came up from a new player named "The Hallkeeper." It read, "I am here to guard."

Immediately, I left the game, not knowing what had just happened. I decided I would leave this case unsolved for a little while longer.

VI: The Rescue
year had passed from all that. I could barely remembered what had happened. I woke up one morning feeling extremely sick. I had made a new account; this time with nothing to do with flunk, as Stephen had been begging me to play again. Birthday, check. Username, 77tamandua77. Password, check. Gender, check. I was all set to play. I joined Bubble Gum Simulator, but it brought me to a new game I hadn't ever heard of. I just brushed it off and rejoined.

After playing with my friend for a couple of hours, I saw a new user in my friends list named "The Hallkeeper." I was extremely confused. How could you have a username like that? Spaces aren't allowed in usernames. Then something weirder happened. The Hallkeeper started playing a familiar game. I couldn't remember where it was from at the time but I knew I had played it sometime before. Three players were in the game. The Hallkeeper, Flunk, and imnotflunk. I was logged into imnotflunk! There was X button or ESC button in the game this time, so I attempted to use task manager it worked, but a series of strange sounds started to play. The sounds made me want to rejoin. No matter how hard I tried, I had to join back.

Finally, I gave up. I knew it would do nothing. And then I saw Flunk with my own eyes, like, not on the screen! He was in his testing tube asking me to drag him away. scared nearly to death, I opened the door to the tube and pulled Flunk out of it. I ran away from the tube, for hours and hours until I passed out.

VII: The Transformation
I woke up still stuck inside this prison of a place. Flunk was attempting to walk on his own, but he didn't get far. I didn't know if I should help him or not.

Before I had enough time to decide, I heard a screeching voice coming from behind us. It sounded like it was saying something, but I couldn't make out what it was. I ran away as fast as I could, completely forgetting about Flunk.

Over time, the voice came closer and closer until finally they stopped; but then I heard another noise.

Far more screeching. Far fewer words. I wasn't to far from Flunk at the moment, I looked back on him and saw one thing that I will never unsee. Flunk was "transforming." Every part of his body looked as if they belonged to monster. I couldn't recognize him at all.

Flunk looked at me for a second, and then began to chase me. I ran as fast as I could through the hallway, and eventually, it started to feel as if I were falling.

VIII: The Hallkeeper's Fury
Falling I was, for it only took a few seconds to hit the ground. I looked up and I saw Flunk staring down at me, as if he was to scared to come down.

All of a sudden, I was sitting in front of my computer. It felt like I was being controlled. The Hallkeeper was spamming in chat, "Dare ye seek the orb o' knowledge an' ye shall perish."

Eventually, The Hallkeeper stopped, but Flunk had made his way down. I started to run away, but he outsped me.

It took me awhile to realize this, but I remembered I was on a computer, and I shut it off. I went to bed as it was already 11:00 pm, but I couldn't sleep over the voices in my head.

"the orb of knowledge." "the orb of knowledge!" "THE ORB OF KNOWLEDGE!"

IX: The Storage
I woke up, locked in some sort of storage room. bodies of strange creatures were everywhere, but they all seemed to be dead.

I looked around for a few minutes, and then heard a knocking sound, coming from outside the room I was in. The knocking continued, and got closer. I backed up until I was all the way at the wall. The knocking was coming around the wall, attempting to get closer to me. When it got right behind me, I screamed for help. The knocking stopped, instead I heard something running away. It was gone.

A blinked once, and a strange door appeared. Inside was a large library-like structure with books everywhere. The more I looked through it, the more I started hearing "the orb of knowledge." Repeating in my head. I was standing right in front of it.

X: The Knowledge
"Finally, I can end all of this. I know what I must do." I spoke to myself. A huge smile came over my face. I could feel power in my veins. I started to transform.

My first stop was The Hallkeeper. I enacted some sort of ritual and teleported to The Hallkeeper. He was sitting down in a small room, smiling.

"Kill me if ye dare."

I ran over and bit his body parts off, one by one. Somehow, I felt good. I felt powerful.

I next brought myself to Flunk. He just looked at me. I did the same thing until I found his original body inside. Flunk's eyes opened, Then I realized.

"What am I doing," I said.

I backed down and passed out.

Epilogue
I woke up and got ready for school, where I was reminded that today was our math exams. It was as if none of that had ever happened. Stephen asked to play Roblox, I went to detention, but weird enough, I never got logged out. I never had to make a new account.
