“...”

“Hello? Does the cassette work properly this time?”

“By the time saying this, this is take number four to try to make this work. I’ll try it again and see if it works this time around…”

“My name is James Franco, I go by the allies of “HRoger” in social media such as Discord, Twitter, and the topic of today, Roblox. I’ve been playing that game ever since 2013. However, in recent events, I retired from using Roblox and social media entirely and It’s been nearly three months ever since everything that happened around December this year. This past three months I’ve tried to recover myself from the experience I went through. For some weeks I’ve been taking therapy classes, taking other hobbies like gardening or reading, and time to reflect upon everything that has happened ever since. However, a week ago a close friend of mine advised me that one way to relieve the stress of holding this story to myself only was to write it down, such as in a journal of some sort. But since I’ve never been a quiet fan of writing down, which at first declined the idea. In response, he offered the idea of speaking to some sort of audio log instead. Which I think is a way better idea because I can express myself. It is a perfect way to relieve all the anxiety and stress from these couple of weeks. Even though I failed at this 3 times down. Hopefully, in this one, I can narrow down the first following events that lead to a much bigger rabbit hole than I once thought…”

“Of course, I can’t publicly release the Audio logs due to the NDA (a Non-Disclosure Agreement) with the developers and the higher-ups of Roblox to not being discussed. If you happen to either find these online, please stop hearing the log and report where you found them from…”

“So where do I even begin with this… “

“I guess I should give a bit more of my background within Roblox.”

“As I said before, I’ve been playing Roblox since around the year 2013. Nothing particularly interesting happened in the first two years of playing Roblox. It was just getting to know how the website works, playing popular games at the time, going through events and claiming prizes. Just like any ordinary Roblox player at the time would be, nothing more, nothing less about it. However, around the year 2015 is when I was starting to get noticed and making a name within the community by participating in a group from one of my mutual online friends, and that was joining a particular group that Roblox veterans would know what I’m talking about, and that would be ‘The Ravenwood Mystery...'” Some of you don’t know what is the group exactly. Well, at first none of us had a clear idea of what the group should aim and succeed at. Other than the goal of being popular, that was until an idea that was at first brought up as a potential focus of the group and then slowly progressively gaining more interest within the group until fully being the main focus of the group which would be ‘myths’. Everyone in the end fully agreed on it and that is how Ravenwood Mystery fully began, In the first couple of months, we were trying our best with gaining attention by making simple games and making videos in the worst program and quality for the year 2015. To pretty much summarize half of the year, we didn’t go anywhere and the motivation to keep going only weakened through time.

but how much didn’t we know the best was heading towards us. it wouldn't have been the perfect timing because the next year after the group was first created, one of the most popular myths being ‘John Doe’ just starting to gain popularity at the moment and we of course took this opportunity of a lifetime and participated by making a specialized hangout for john doe, myth videos, theories and much much more.

and gosh darn it worked more than we thought it would. Then throughout the years, we keep trying to be relevant within the Roblox community in multiple ways by covering myths such as “Guest_666”, and “Melvin”, or even explore into the dumb ones such as “Obama bike”. Sometimes we would stir away from our usual content and start something new such as one successful ARG we did once or actual homemade stories from our group. But what got us known even further was collaborating with other known creators in the Roblox community which introduced more of an audience thanks to them. However, even if we weren’t as popular back in the 2010s and the group went through ups and downs in the following years. We were still a well-known and respected part of the community of Roblox and to me, that is all I could have asked for. And even after the events that happened in December which led me to retire from Roblox entirely, I will still cherish those moments and be grateful to my mutual friends for allowing me to participate in it. And sincerely thank you towards them.

“Wow, that was a lot to go through. But now that I went through important details of my history with Roblox, I now can fully go into what exactly happened in that week that I will never forget…”

“It was December, Saturday the 17th. 2022. The Ravenwood Mystery group was about to close down for the holiday break. Everyone was almost set down and ready to relax for Christmas break and enjoy their time with their special loved ones. For me? I was more looking forward to finishing up some games that I haven’t played for a while and catching up on the progress I left behind. Before I signed out of the server group, one of my friends asked me to check the group's direct messages, something that I forgot to mention is that recently the group has been taking submissions for “reports” or “cases” of certain paranormal events. It was a new way to create new content for the group. Even though I was in charge of editing and organizing plans, I also choose to take the job of being the email client of the account and checking the account time through time. While there were some interesting ones that in the end did, some were young children asking for collabs or questioning know-”

“Darn, Sorry! I’m getting sidetracked, getting back to the topic. I was checking the send-out messages and most of them were what I expected to be, general annoying messages of little kids trying to get attention or just not understanding the policy of our group. I kept scrolling down and responding to the direct messages which were already written so it won’t take much time and be efficient to respond faster, which were the messages of hold/denied/accepted for specific reasons. I would keep scrolling, responding, repeat, until I encountered a direct message from someone who was named ‘Arthur Watson.’”

“The message of the person first started introducing himself and giving such personal details which I will not go through right now other than his name. However, it is when the second paragraph of the message that I was stumped upon.”

“Apparently, around a day ago, on Friday the 16th, it was one of his online mutual friend’s birthday. They wanted to celebrate the friend's birthday by all joining together by going to ‘Blueback Mountain’ An Roblox popular experience in which you would hike, ski, and hang out with friends. The plan was for all of the friends to meet at the game at 3:35 PM (EST) However, Arthur had something important to attend around the time they couldn't make it in time. But instead of delaying his friend's birthday further to wait for Arthur to arrive, all agreed to go ahead and make reservations and rent a cabin where Arthur would meet them. All of his friends, including Arthur, got their tickets and digital keys for the rental cabin place where they would be staying for a half hour and then hiking the mountain. Arthur was supposed to catch them in the cabin once he returns. Easy solution right?”

“ However, he said after he arrived home from his important duty, he headed to his room to contact his friends… but none of them were active or even responding to his messages for a link for the server they are in. Even one of his friends who instantly answers when you message this person didn’t even respond, no one did. He said he was starting to get worried, but he said he still had faith that they were alright. Thankfully, one of his friends had the allow friends to join settings which allowed him to join the server that all of his friends were in. He thought they might just turn off other devices to focus on the mountain experience or all were AFK. but once he joined and entered the village, he would realise something “bad” apparently happened. The ski lift was currently unusable because there was an avalanche of snow, there were moderators of the game making sure none get past the border. Nobody was allowed to enter the mountain under any circumstances. Even if he tried to explain to the employees of the game that his friends were up there. They told him that they can’t let anyone in at the moment. At this point, Arthur's last glimpse of hope was for them to leave the game or at least message him back that they are fine. However, it’s been one day since it happened and he hasn’t gotten any response. And yet, they were still playing the game. Arthur was fully convinced that something terrible must have happened to his friends while they were hiking to the mountain.”

“He said that these couple of hours he tried to find a reason for what happened, and tried to contact further with the developers of Blueback mountain about the incident. However, they didn’t bring him further information other than they are trying to solve the “Problem”. After that, he even reached out Roblox moderation team about the situation but hasn’t responded back. He was starting to get frustrated and even paranoid about the situation and getting more worrying for his mutuals. Until hours he talked with other of his mutual friends (outside of the friend group) for help with the situation and one of his friends recommended contacting us. Even if they knew that everything we did was an act for entertaining purposes.”

“The last paragraph of the direct message of Arthur was apologizing for not following the policy guidelines and he justifies this action for “advice” to help his friends at the bare minimum.”

“After reading the entire message thread, I was completely stumped, at a loss of words even. Because this is one of the only times we were asked for legitimate help, not in a mystery or trolling way. There wasn’t any hint of irony and the story seemed consistent, even the dates and times when the incident occurred. Mostly general players know that the Ravenwood Mystery group was made for fun sakes and nothing to be taken seriously. And yet, this person is so sucked by the grief of his online friends that he is willingly contacting the group, fully knowing that it isn’t our policy for these certain messages. I made sure to re-read the entire message over and over again to make sure I didn’t misread anything regarding it but no. Arthur seems to be serious about this.”

“At that time, I was amazed and confused. I was also skeptical about it. I was considered to be a highly elaborate prank because of multiple reasons that can be brought upon, first. He mentions that his friends have been playing the Blueback Mountain for one day straight. That is impossible because these 6 players had to be awake or attending the computer all day and night and that is without mentioning the cycles of servers shutting down due to updates for the game or Roblox updates for the website. Speaking of which, is the game Blueback Mountain…”

“I found it hard to believe that a game like “Blueback Mountain” seems to not be working! To give a bit of background, Blueback first started as a passion project because Roblox lacked snow games and a certain group of people worked initially in the game to make a fun experience for people to enjoy, but the least that everyone was expecting, even the creators behind it. To explode into popularity but on an extreme level. We are talking about ‘adopt me’ levels of numbers. Popular YouTubers and even celebrities started playing the game and talking about how ‘revolutionary’ the game was back then. The devs even considered moving into other software to continue development, however, rumour says that Roblox begged on their knees to make them stay on the platform and promise to give them more tools and software to improve upon. Then in a couple of years, the game would be extremely advanced, even in game development terms. This made the game Roblox’s “golden child” or to be precise, the only game that Roblox has actually invested in for the progress of the experience. Even games such as ‘work at a pizza place’, ‘Meepcity’, and ‘Royale high’. Those games were paid a sack of potatoes compared to the salary the team made a week, A DARN WEEK! They keep giving them early access to updates and exclusive features that no other games were allowed to have. Due to this, this is why the game has been heavily criticized for being Roblox’s favourite game to support and not valuing the other games for contributing to Roblox's popularity.``

“Even then. The people saying that blueback mountain's success wasn’t that big of a deal, are the same people who believe that the iceberg that hit the titanic wasn’t that big… a complete understatement”

“So to hear that just in one server, ONE singular sever. Where the six of his friends occasionally were. somehow playing this game a day straight before an “avalanche” came and made the moderators close the gates of the ski lift. sounds unavailable. It sounded like an ARG or horror story we would tell for our group. However, I wanted to go further by showing proof or evidence to go against his message. I knew I shouldn’t be doing this but if Arthur was disobeying the policy rules, why couldn’t I? Which then I replied to Arthur with a brief response, asking for the six usernames of his six friends who played the game while he was at his important responsibility to make a ‘private’ investigation” regarding the six players

“Arthur later would respond by thanking me for taking the day of my time to at least help with him about it, and then he took around 25 mins to type out not only the names of the 6 players but send a list of information of his 6 friends. Even though I was surprised how much information was able to jam under those minutes, I was mildly frustrated because I clearly asked just the names, not his personal life with these six players.”

“However, I think I should briefly talk about them because with this information, just as a way to give context because it’s gonna be fundamental once I get into what exactly happened…”

 

Information: Arthur Watson is the one who messages the group about the matter, I really can’t say that much of him because the information his more about his relationship with these six certain people, the most I can say for him is that Arthur hasn’t been on Roblox for that long and he will go for great lengths for someone. Just like this case.



 

One last detail that is worth mentioning is that he is in a relationship with one of the friend groups which we will talk about her eventually, but the thing to note is that both he and Rebeca had been together much longer than the friend group was even made.



 

Information: RebbecaMel or short Rebbeca. As said before, She and HockeyRockery were dating in real life for a certain amount of time. Arthur mentions that she is more public than Hock about her life and personal details, such as her real name and his relationship with him.



 

Information: The LivingWring would be the next friend that Arthur would make in his recent years playing Roblox. There isn’t much I could say other than that Jian is the rich kid out of the friend group, he was the one who paid for the reservations and the cabin. He also seemed to support projects from his mutuals and of course, help wherever there is any problem with his friends

He is dressed in Roblox in a fancy costume but sometimes can wear something casual like an expensive jacket or sweater. He also has red hair for his Roblox avatar.



 

Information: EnergeticSaotic is one of Rebbeca's online friends, they meet around in a roleplaying game and ever since when she isn’t playing or spending time with Hock. She would most likely spend time playing with her, that would be until she would be introduced to the friend group that all the previous persons I’ve talked about were in. This means that her connections like LivingWring, Arthur, and HockeyRockery would become to grow stronger.

She has dyed her hair to yellow and she’s extremely a fan of animals, hell, she wasn’t planning to go and play Blueback Mountain with them until they brought up animals like deer, bunnies, and bears. Which convince her to come to the game and play with them.



 

Information: ChurchSight is the information I have to be extremely careful because even though this audio log won’t be published, Arthur was extremely strict about the information and even after all that occur. I will respectfully respect his wishes of him.

  9909Platinum is the last one who I haven’t talked about, but honestly. He always wears a mustache, googles, and a black tophat with hair… to be honest, there wasn’t that much information for him because Arthur and he became friends not that long ago. But there are still two details that are worth mentioning... However, I would rather keep them a secret until we get into him again.

“The first thing is that he is the first person to bring the idea to reserve and rent a cabin when Arthur told his group that he would be late. Secondly, Arthur states that he would keep saying that he will always do everything in his power to protect & revenge for someone.” “I was stressed for Arthur over exposing me to this information and wanted to yell back at him for not understanding my instructions… but in the end, I calmed myself down and tried to give my best patience with this kid. As I said, I asked for the usernames and technically did receive them. Then I proceeded to check through their usernames and checked if his claims are true with useful plugins and the game ‘Check a User's Last Online Information’ if his six friends were really playing blueback mountain for almost two days. But to my surprise, all six seemed to be online exactly online and still showing they playing the game. But I still wasn’t convinced of his claims. Then step up my game by checking each one of them I had thought to keep in touch with the 6 accounts and see if any usual activity happens every 10 minutes. This would keep going until it was midnight around where I was living…” “I was hoping to see any of the users either leave the game or go offline suddenly. However, those minutes turned into hours and nothing really changed. I was starting to question and try to find logic within this situation I was in. Nonetheless, I couldn’t imagine or think of a reasonable answer because no one would spend time and effort to have 6 accounts running on the same server for hours. Without mentioning they should have been kicked out of the servers either by the game getting updated or Roblox updating their platform.”

“ I was very inattentive to the accounts by just trying to think it through into why it was happening and if there was any logical reasoning into what was happening. Until I receive a message from the Ravenwood Mystery coworkers. It was just my teammates from the group asking if I checked every one of the group messages. I told him with a short message that I will respond back and that I had to do something. But the truth was I talking to a customer about a case that I don’t even know it’s happening.”

“But before I went and communicate with him, I realized that I still haven’t responded to other messages left out which I quickly did it before I talked to Arthur. Once it was done, I was ready contact him until for some reason… he contacted me again the moment the account was online. He responded with an apology for bothering me and being a mild inconvenience, he thought that I didn’t want to further help him due to a lack of communication. This had happened with the other tries with moderators and devs of Blueback Mountain. At first, I was concerned and terror-struck in my head, I had to respond quickly! This leads me to make a long message to Arthur to tell him to contact me with the personal account for further details for the investigation. I was worried that he won’t respond back and all the time checking and investigating if his claims were true. I was at the edge of outbursts mourn thinking that I wasted all my time on a stupid case. But once I heard the sound of the notification, I never felt so alive and quickly checked if it was him.”

“He said how much he was grateful for the cooperation to find his friends and see if they are okay, after we got in personal contact. I’ve told him to tell me more details in my DM which I can ask for more questions and clarifications regarding important details. Even though I was reading the text, I could somewhat that the choice of words and tone that he was honest about it. I was impressed by how many terms a young teenager Arthur was.”

“We talked for around an hour, and I got more header inside about the details and clarifications which I had once done the research. We even got talk in voice chat so we can communicate better and be on the same page. I told Arthur to plan a specific time and day so we could meet on the server that they were apparently missing. Then we agreed to meet on Sunday 18th, at 12:00 PM EST. Before I went and logged off, Author wanted to say something important to me. I was expecting him to keep thanking me like I was a god who came to the earth to save the world. However, instead of that. He asked me a question that to this day haunts me… “Why are you helping me, James?”

“I was completely surprised by that comment. I didn’t really know how to answer the question. I quickly answered with a response being why he is asking that question. He answered that he noticed that I’ve been sounding a bit tired and sometimes non-interested when talking in the voice chat, and he told me that he was skeptical that I haven’t told the team about this. He wanted to check if I wasn't mad because I was taking my time doing this instead of enjoying his Christmas vacation.”

“I mean, he wasn’t wrong. I had planned to spend much of my time with my family hours ago instead of spending time on this. Which is justifiable to make that assumption. After that, I responded to Arthur that I was doing it by the sheer will of my heart to help find his friends. He seemed satisfied with the answer, after that, I logged off from discord and went to bed to get some rest from tomorrow. However, the thought of that question still lingered in my head. Even with trying my best to think over different situations not related to the case, It somehow came back in my dreams in subtle ways. It was all that throughout the night until morning…”

“We both were still able to come to ‘concise’ terms about the plan, while I was somewhat happy that the problem was resolved, another problem came into mind. Remember what I stated before? I still haven’t technically talked about this with the team member. I decided to make the decision of bringing all ”

“After considering what choice of words and context to use when explaining to the team, I responded with a brief and quick explanation of the situation. At first explaining, they were expressing their concern about this case being a troll to get attention. Even after showing the weird “proof”. They still insisted on leaving the case. I took a lot of convincing from them but in the end, we both came to a compromise about the situation. They allowed me to do this “investigation”  but none of the team members wanted to be involved or related to it.”

“December, Saturday the 18th. 2022. 11:57 AM. I had the ticket bought to enter the game, I also had to buy some game passes of the game such as the backpack filled with items such as aid kits, walkie-talkies, energy bars and pure water for the expedition. For other passes like crampons and ice tools,   Arthur and I got everything ready before joining the server. I wasn’t sure what I was going to expect when joining the server, I set my expectations low because it can still be a hoax to just bring attention but on the other hand, the amount of information Arthur gave me and the weird occurrences with the accounts which makes my doubtful side fade. However, either way. I finally arrived at the Blueback Mountain server…”

“Joining the game I got first introduced to the game because It’s been ages since I’ve played the game. There were new features they seemed to have added not so long ago such as actions such as waving, crouching, sitting, etc. there was a phone UI where you can check update logs and news from the game, and the most advanced technology the game had was their advanced NPC. Let me explain, for example. In a game such as working on a pizza place or piggy where their UI can be clunky at times but they do their job. However, comparing the UI from those games or even more from Roblox toward blueback mountain is like night and day. As I said before, with the connections with the Roblox headquarters. They worked into making the most perfect UI system for the game, it came to the point that they managed to make each, and I mean, each talkable NPC has their own personality traits but they would always have a personalized response for each case, such as different clothes or parts, tools, or just even tell the difference between a boy or a girl if the avatar doesn’t have a clear telling. And that is without mentioning the animal NPCs or the phone NPCs as well.”

“After the re-introduction to the game again, I was finally able to enter the little town in blueback mountain. When I first joined the scene, it was very foggy and cloudy, I could barely see anything. I knew it was September and usually, the game would take advantage of that and make it extra snowy and have Christmas decorations, but geez it had a very gloomy setting to be in. However, there were dim light poles around the area which looked to lead to a path which was supposed to be the small town. Before I moved I messaged Arthur if he was in the game ready and he responded that he was waiting in the game and told me to meet at the ski lifter. Afterwards, I finally decided to finally move the character and head toward the town. At first, I felt as if I were in a liminal space without end until I finally met one of their NPCs called “Kevin skier”. Since I had no rush, I decided to talk to him and see one of his personalized dialogues. It was charming to hear him speak with his voice box. Everything was going okay until at the end when the character was going to talk about the holiday gift deals and limited-time offers, that was until out of nowhere had a blackout glitch and the dialogue closed down. It caught me off guard and checked again if it was a one-of-a-million glitch it would have happened and it did repeat again.”

“Afterwards I checked the (in-game) phone about the deals until I got a bit scared at first when seeing it. When I looked at the time, it said “00:00 PM”. then I looked at the day items to also have the same time. I was confused and I must admit… anxious at first seeing it. Until I quickly remembered that the game hasn’t been updated since four days ago. The UI must have suffered by not getting the daily update logs to keep the servers going. Quickly I got a DM from Arthur asking if I were okay. Even though I was amused by it, I had someone waiting for me so I kept going until I finally reached the Blueback mountain town. The streets were uncanny at their best. Hardly any players were roaming the town. It almost felt like an abandoned city, except of course. The talkable NPC’s in the town.”

“I had a hard time believing a game such as this has gained this much attention and support from the company themselves to keep this game sustainable and yet looks like ruins and uncanny from the dark fog and hardly any players in the area. My thoughts just kept piling and piling up in my brain. I kept thinking and thinking until I started hearing snow footsteps. I was near the ski lift but there was snow in the streets and it didn't seem like it would be lying there on the streets. However, I started to see more snow down the path where the ski lift would be. Then once again I remembered Arthur mentioning an “avalanche”. However my astonishment would have never been this high once I finally entered the ski lift section…”

“Where do I even begin… or starters, the avalanche I was expecting to be just a small amount of snow but that wouldn’t have been much of an understatement. There was just a big amount of snow everywhere in the area, there was even a half tree stuck under the snow. Secondly, all the players inside the server had been spending the entire time trying to get back into the mountain or asking why something had happened. There were other groups of players just exploring the station trying to see what they could do. Third of all was the ski lift station, oh god. Well aside from the amount of snow covering the station, and the group of players. The NPCs who were supposed to take the tickets and transport the players to the mountain were malfunctioning, probably due to what I’d seen earlier with Kevin. There seemed to be two moderators who were preventing any player from entering the mountain in any circumstances. Hordes of players kept wanting to try to enter the ski lift but didn’t see any success. After looking around, I finally spotted the player Arthur in the crowd of people. We both greeted each other and afterwards we got in contact in discord to discuss how we were supposed to enter the mountain with the moderators.”

“We discussed ways to either convince or flee to get into the mountain. Until we both agreed on a plan that could possibly work. The plan was for me to talk to the two moderators and try to get them to teleport me into the ski lift station to the shadow barrier preventing players from crossing. One of the moderators will go contact one of their higher authorities if they allow me to enter. Arthur was going to use a hacking tool to remove the invisible wall to cause a mass of players entering into the mountain. The other moderator would be forced to stop all of them and while they were occupied, I would suppose to give the ticket to the malfunctioning AI which would send me to the ski lift and instantly send the ski lift to the blueback mountain while Arthur catches me up climbing the mountain. I was skeptical and concerned about this plan. Because this is extremely risky to achieve, what is worse is that if they caught us. They are going to be banned from the game and be reported to their higher authorities and possibly get in trouble with Arthur. Afterwards, I asked if there was any other way to get into the mountain without these sorts of risks, for example. Talking to their higher-ups for permission to enter the mountain. Arthur responded to me that contact is off the table because they won’t allow anyone in the mountain. Even other investigators like I was going to ask what was happening but the team behind it won’t allow giving an explanation. Then afterwards it became a tantrum over his online friends who are on the server. And after minutes of arguing with him. I’ve agreed to do it if he takes full accountability if we get caught by the moderators of the server. He agreed and that is when we started the operation.”

“It was hard to get through the crowd of players outside of the ski lift station wanting to get inside but at last, I managed to be in the front row. There was only one moderator observing the crowd making sure none of them did surpass the invisible border. I started by simply seeking attention techniques for the moderator to see me. It took a few minutes of work but after keeping and kept trying, she finally noticed me… however, what she was about to say made me knock me down with a feather. “I’m sorry but I don’t know who you are supposed to be and neither do I care. Please step back before I expulse you out of the experience”. It made my spine shiver. I didn’t ever think this would happen and yet here I am, looking like a major inconvenience instead of meaning something important.”

“I was about to obey the instructions of the moderator until a miracle came into the picture. And it was the second moderator who returned from checking around the map. He instantly recognized me from the ‘Ravenwood mystery group.’ I wasn’t expecting something like this and had to convince them to teleport me into the station. Then I send a message asking if we can speak inside the station about private matters of the situation. I took a lot of convincing, especially from her because of not knowing or trust who I am. However, thanks to him for knowing me and trusting me, he was able to comfort her to allow me to enter, which led to the moderators teleporting me inside the station.”

“Everything was going great so far, I managed to achieve something out of all the players didn't manage to do. But I was far from the end of it, and now I had to explain why I’m even here in the first place. Before proceeding with the plan, we thought of a story to tell once I entered the station. The fake story was that I was sent by one of their higher-ups to do an investigation into the mountain. Arthur gave me some names from someone in the inner team which hopefully make the claim more believable. After telling them everything, all I hoped was for them to at least give me a chance.” “After a long silence, not even a quick response from the two. One broke the silence and told one to watch me while he was getting in contact if my claims were true. At the moment I was respite that the plan actually worked, and now and if we play our cards right, we can enter the mountain. However, now the problem was how to get rid of the second moderator who was observing me. I asked Arthur what to do in the call, but he won’t respond. I was starting to get more nervous about him not answering. My heartbeat was starting to beat louder. I was sweating more than any casual visitor on a hot beach summer, I thought that my entire career would be in shambles the moment they caught me lying…” “While at the moment I couldn’t really think because of all the stress of Arthur not responding, I notice something particular. There was the outside view of the mountain inside the ski station. Once I fully saw what I saw, I couldn’t believe it with my two own eyes… It was a player, running towards the mountain, but then more and more players were making a flee just like him”

“The moderator quickly found out and began to quickly try and stop everyone from running into the mountain. Just as I can see the desperation of the moderator speeding into maximum overdrive to prevent players. Arthur must have been able to delete the invisible borders while I was able to distract the moderators just enough. I didn’t know what to feel at the moment, but then I quickly remembered that the time was ticking and needed to head into the actual ski lifts and head towards the mountain!”

“I began to sprint inside the building to find the ski lifts and then I was able to find them behind a locked wall with an AI character waiting uncannily in the ticket booth. She was like the previous NPCs I’ve encountered throughout the lobby of the server, still having this void of the emptiness of her eyes and being stiffness in a striking pose waiting for tickets that would never come… Just staring… Into my soul.”

“I went into the ticket booth, and instantly began trying to see if it was possible to pass through the gate that was protected. The AI at first did her own introduction, even if I had time or patience of hearing what she was programmed to say. However, the moment that she allow me to show the ticket which I had saved, she began glitching uncontrollably. I was seeing how her jaw and head would stir and twitch, trying to say something in a desperate manner and failing to make any word coming from her mouth understandable…”

“Maybe the reason she was behaving the way she was may have to be with the time zones and how the time was in stock between 0:00 AM and unable to proceed forward. I was hoping just for the pure chance that the NPC may allow me to pass through the gate and enter the ski lift… Then it finally happened…”

“The AI was struggling so much to either allow me or not into the mountain, that the NPC completely froze in a specific frame, it won’t do any other animations or gestures. Just once again, stifles and empty like every other NPC within the lobby. However, the gate would keep disappearing and reappearing over and over. Even though I was fortunate enough to have the AI glitch, now the concern is being able to cross the gate without either getting stuck between the timeframe the gate keeps appearing. I know that I’m losing time with the two moderators close to finishing what they were doing and needed to make a perfect sprint towards the gate without getting caught.”

“I began to analyze the seconds it took for the gate to reappear, that was until I realized that it was randomized and it was hard to exactly pin when to sprint towards the gate. But once again, the time was ticking and I had no time wasting upon. I began sprinting towards the glitching gate fence and was praying in my head that I could manage to squish through the metallic poles in a timely manner…”

“Surprisingly…”

“It didn’t work at first, I was caught by the flashing gate… except when it caught my Roblox character. It seemed to still be affected by the weird timestamp that the other NPCs and UI of the game struggled upon, which made the UI of the script glitch out… AND luckily the gate transported one of the multiple ski lifts available. I was relieved that I was able to manage what other players didn’t manage to do. I had this feeling of accomplishment, something I would feel after completing a very difficult course in any typical hardcore Obby on Roblox. Even if I had a bit of shame and concern after doing this “plan” I still had this self-warmth goal accomplished in a stressful situation.”

“The ski lift would then start to begin to move into the mountain, one step closer towards the goal. The ski lift was going at a natural speed where it was between fast and yet slow at the same time. It was a long way before I manage to enter the mountain… If I remember correctly. It’s so big that it has a separate private server that contains the entire mountain with all its cabins, stations, and events. I decided to manipulate my camera to see if any other players were still running toward the mountain. Not surprisingly, there weren’t any more Roblox players running into the mountain… I think I didn’t see anyone even behind the town. I quickly check the player list and what I saw frightens me…”

“There were no longer any other players in the server, not even Arthur! It was just me… and the two moderators”

“I was starting to get frightened once again, now the concern was that they might figure out it was a scheme and I tried looking for any signs of them behind me. The mist that was coming from the mountains was coming near and wouldn’t help me to further pin down where the moderators were on the map! Then, I noticed something in the fog that surrounded me. I saw a small figure slowing coming at me at a much heavy speed than the ski lifts itself… It was one of the moderators…

“They had the banning hammer between their arms…”

“That was until I knew, I was extremely fucked with their upcoming presence”

“I quickly tried to get in contact with Arthur that they are coming after me, but even after all, he won’t still answer my calls. It was still shown he was online and yet had his microphone muted. It was very stressful knowing that not only that he won’t respond, but might as well have dumped me into this situation. I didn’t know what to think and to do at the moment. I felt that everything I’d done, for this person, was completely worthless and I’m going to face the consequences of my actions… My selfish actions. I stud up and look around thinking to myself how even to explain myself for lying to the moderators and causing a ruckus of players sprinting towards the mountain. I was even afraid to turn around and face the consequences that were about to come, I was afraid… Very afraid.”

“However, I knew that I should do the right thing and tell them the truth. I knew this would ruin my job, my reputation, and my friends just to screw this badly in this situation. Even though I knew that I have no one else to blame except myself. I took my courage and face the consequences and go back to my computer… However, I noticed something completely shocking me to my moment… I couldn’t even believe myself for what I’ve even managed to do…”

“I saw the loading screen, with the text saying”

  “Welcome to Blueback mountain!”  

“I said to myself in a moment of disbelief, “ ”

“The first moments I spent doing into the mountain were yelling and getting extremely upset with Arthur for not giving is there to communicate with me when the time I needed the most. Looking back at the situation, I’m still somewhat upset about his absence but now thinking about it, I had gone a bit overboard with my frustrations towards him. Around the time I kept forgetting that he was still young and yelling at him in a way has been an action I’ve come to regret over time.” “I still haven’t explained what exactly happened to Arthur while I was with my paranoia of the moderators. He explained that while I was with them distracting them, he got his “Btools” and began deleting the multitude of invisible walls. It was extremely bizarre that they would have multiple stacked walls to each other to avoid for this kind of incident to occur. Whatever they trying to hide from this specific server, it must be big!”

“Afterwards he tried to also make a run into the mountain using exploits that made him fly at a higher speed than the ski lift I was sitting upon. However, one of the moderators noticed him while he was flying and they instantly put the “:Jail” command towards Arthur which got him stuck in the box and that is where he meet his fate…”

“Once Arthur got banned from the game. He came out and rage his frustrations, he was so mad that he forgot to turn on the mic or even acknowledge the fact that I was still in the game.”

“Afterwards, I calmed down and decided to explore the main hub of the first level of the mountain. Another factor that I forgot to mention is that the mountain has 5 levels, I’ll try to explain to the best of my capacity to explain how each of their levels works and what should I be worrying about!” '''Level. 1:'''

This is where most of the animals inhabit, It’s also with most amount of pine trees and irregulated stones hidden under the stones. There are three activities under there which mostly consist of expert Snowmobiling areas and Ski ing areas. However, there are many fences which prevent wild animals from attacking any of the quests.

'''Level. 2:'''

Level two is where all the visitors are dropped off by taking the ski lifts from downtown, there is an option of either going up or down. If you go down you can go to level. 1. However, if you go the upper elevator or climb through, you will be greeted with fewer trees than before and other activities to do. Even still, there is a little town in the Level. 2 area which contains small restaurants and cabins.

'''Level. 3:'''

To be fair, level three doesn't really contain that much other than other places to hike to and one particular activity which we will discuss later down the line.

'''Level. 4:'''

it’s definitely the hardest hiking experience, this is where the slopes start to become harder to climb into and become more linear. It was such a pain that the devs had to make an optional ski lift to avoid casualties (even though its costs are high.) What’s worse is that there are rarely any trees which is why people just don’t use trees as a way to climb.

'''Level. 5:'''

the last level is where the hikers (or ‘lazy’ people if they use the ski lift) are rewarded in a very nice fancy hotel! It contains cooked food and hang-out areas where people can stay and enjoy their time. This is where I firmly believed that is where Arthur's friends were. If not, then somewhere between levels 3 - 4.)

“When I first arrived at the second level of the mountain, It was extremely overwhelming and aerie. For starters, since nobody else is in the mountain, it leads to being extremely empty with the only people being the AI workers still having their soulless bodies being still in the counter of a shack or outside. Especially with the mascot of their company ‘Franklin Moose.’ Which is an animated moose and since his AI script is completely loose, it’s just this huge figure that outstands everything in the very mist and awfully dark place I was currently in.” “Before I started to climb through the mountain, I needed to check around the stores and restaurants if there was any piece of information I could gather because might as well figure out exactly why the experience was currently having this phenomenon in this game. However, there wasn’t anything, in particular… Except for two details.”

“The first one was when I went and see the kitchen of the restaurant. While there wasn’t anything outstanding or noticeable, on the outside of the building, it was what was inside that got me surprised… When I first took a step into the building, it was completely derelict and abandoned (not in a creepy kind of way but just not cleaned or taken care of for two weeks.) It was surprising that I would see this in this type of game, especially since it was the highest budget from any Roblox experience in existence.”

“There were multiple tables that were empty and shallow, chairs were scattered around, and the light almost being completely din. Before stepping into the restaurant, I stopped for a second and think more about the situation. I knew that this isn’t normal and there was definitely something suspicious regarding the situation, almost seems to be like a trap in some sort. I decided to not take any risks and take my flare gun in self-defence. It isn’t the best option but it was still a way to defend myself if something bad happens.”

“I slowly took steps into the kitchen which was available to enter, which increased my mistrust of the situation even further. However, what I saw stunned me even more. It was almost completely empty; no stoves, no fridges, nothing! Well of course… except for one huge detail that completely stunned me from confusion.”

“One of the only pieces left in this building was the monitors. From what I understand, they serve to keep in touch on what the customers ordered instead of having a receipt. On all the monitors, there was a splattered unknown encrypted message. It was a dark blue message that contains symbols that I haven’t even recognized. However, it has this eerie tone that I could argue it senses some kind of danger. I know this might be a lot to ask but please keep this detail in mind because it will become relevant later throughout my explanation of events…”

“The second detail that completely stunned me was outside of the building and more of the outside world that I was currently experiencing, and that fact was that there were wild animals and mammals.”

“As previously mentioned, I said that most of the animals were in level .1 where they could inhabit peacefully. But no, there were multiple snowshoe hares and sika deers near my position. It was extremely bizarre, However. I’ve become completely surprised that instead of them going down where they usually inhabit, they begin started climbing into the mountain… FOR SOME REASON!?”

“I’m not a geologist or biologist but it’s safe to assume that with the strong winter above the mountain and how can it become more slim and difficult to hike, and on top of that, there are less trees and grass the higher it is. It seems like there is no reason for those mammals and creatures to climb to the mountain… However, I would soon start to notice something off about them.”

“The more I looked at the animals, I noticed how… scared and anxious they were. As if they were afraid of a certain someone. Fear that someone might feel if they were either threatened or known that staying further down below will lead to their demise…”

“The more I started to think about it, the next group of animals was climbing through. It was a family of Sika deers, however, what I was about to see next has sealed what I was about to get into and realize what a big mistake this ‘investigation’ was in retrospect…”

“ There was one outstanding one from the bunch, one particular which completely got my attention the seeking I turned and saw them…”

“What I saw was a Sika deer almost completely butchered and injured in some sort…”

“The deer had multiple claw scratches all over its body, bleeding at best, and scratches that can see the inner of the deer at worst. The deer was in critical condition and that was not only shown by appearance but the body language. The deer must have suffered the wrath of a creature of some sort! It was definitely not a human at all, there isn’t a way a Roblox player could possibly fuck up a Sika deer this badly…”

“My heart began starting to increase the heartbeat, and I was starting to sweat more than I was willing to admit. It left me completely speechless of how the condition the deer was and even had the strength to keep going!”

“After thinking over what exactly I’ve encountered in the first ten or twenty minutes playing this game, now seeming to deduce why the moderators were doing the best of their power to avoid players joining the experience… I said to myself…”

“What had I got myself into?…”

“A few minutes later, I was telling Arthur that I was planning on resigning from this investigation. It was hard to say but I knew that if I stay any much longer than I should of, I would end up in a far worse situation. Arthur was at the point of having a mental breakdown, begging in his knees to keep staying and try to ‘find’ his friends, which realistically, they are probably been done for weeks by now.”

“I already got myself in a deep rabbit hole and I didn’t want to keep pursuing it if it ends up hurting me or even outside even more. It wasn’t something to be getting involved in and an issue that the developers should be fixing at the moment. As much as I had sympathy for the kid, I genuinely to not feel safe at the mountain, the animals and signals were the straw that broke my camel's back. I couldn’t keep going if my conscious knew it was a bad idea.”

“However, what ended up happening was extremely shocking. Arthur just kept quiet for a few seconds, I believed that he finally accepted that I didn’t want to further go into this investigation and respect my boundaries… Except, he then posted something that left me jaw-dropping.”

“To tell a long story short, he ‘threatened’ to ‘blackmail’ me to continue finding his friends with the information I’ve provided when talking about the plans, wanting to continue this investigation to find the six of his friends… Forcefully.”

“I’ve of course told him that not only is it shitty to do but it will make him more guilty than me if they eventually find out that he blackmail me to do his bidding but I’ve never felt threatened by a younger person than me. Shouting at me in a manner and told me that he will give this to the team members to get me expelled from their group.”

“As much as it is easy to just leave this asshole, I know that the current situation I’m in is not a good one, especially since I’ve technically broke into the borders of the mountain and once I’ve returned back, I should at least have proof and something that makes the risk worth it.”

“I took a big breath, taking my curser away from the closing game option, grab my map and responded to Arthur of agreeing to keep going…”

“When first exploring further into the mountain, there wasn’t anything that exciting going on. I still knew I had to be careful exactly because I still don’t know what is the threat even is! This is why I purposely move some of the items to certain keys so that wherever I actually need them, such as the flare gun, medkit, flashlight, ice axe, etc.”

“After checking through what I could find in the abandoned buildings and just making sure I didn’t miss anything particular… My mission has started to find the six missing players begin..”

“In the first half hour hiking through the mountain, wasn’t that exciting or anything worth mentioning. Since I’ve not even wasn’t able to arrive at the level. 2. And barely not halfway through. Throughout the time hiking I’ve mostly spent seeing multiple pine trees, many amounts of snow, and even were able to encounter more animals climbing through the mountain as well.”

“Even though I had an uneasy eerie vibe hiking the halfway through the pine trees, I won’t even say it wasn’t ‘scary’ since there wasn’t anything particularly frightening other than being in somewhat of a labyrinth and almost near dark. Almost sounding like a plot of a horror movie… ironically.”

“While there wasn’t anything outstanding to say for the first half hour of climbing through the mountain, the first red flag was that I was able to hear some kind of scream from far far away. It wasn’t a typical scream but rather a scream that sounded rough and had uneven jaggy tone (it also was reverb which I could hear the echo of the scream.)”

“At first I was, of course, off-put and concerned by this, and if I wasn’t threatened in the first place, I would have left the server a long time ago. However, this made me realize that key sound was crucial so I decided to increase the volume and make sure I could hear every single noise.”" “Which would be a huge payoff in the end. Trust me!” "“Other than that, my current plan was to arrive on level 3 and see if I can enter one of the available ‘Safety services’ shacks scattered around the map. If there isn’t any working NPC inside, there must be props I could to move faster around the map such as ski equipment or one of those skimobiles which are used to transport injured players.” “However, through time I was starting to get bored just hiking into the mountain since nothing else was happening so I decided to mess around with the camera angles to find something particular but nothing outstanding, still in the area with a multitude of trees surrounding me. However, once I’ve entered back into first-person perspective and looked down to the snow… I’ve noticed something that got me in shock…”

“Splatters of red blood beneath me… looking up I could see more scattered moving forward until I saw the next terrifying imagery I would be next to see in this scary adventure…”

“I saw an Arctictic fox lying on the floor of snow… cut opened with blood still coming out of the cut belly. Actually, scratch that, it wasn’t any cut-opened belly… It was a bit off from some kind of big beast. Lots of the fox's organs missing and rip through its body. The worse detail was that the fox was still alive but enduring the suffering from the bite, couldn’t really move or scream, just quietly lying to wanting to die peacefully but knowing full well that the burning pain is crawling over his body and he will die in a place with none of his race and species being there for him… Other than me watching the white fox… slowly dying from the blood loss.”

“I know it sounds a bit childish to get this affected over an NPC fox but since they weren’t really that cartoony looking and were actual programmed animals. It still had a heavy impact that was hard to swallow. I even wanted to vomit through just from what I saw at the moment but I quickly realized something at the moment.”

“Since this fox was recently bitten off, this means that the ‘creature’ must be somewhere near I’m at right now, which extremely caused me to get paranoid because this was a threat to me finding the six players. I decided to change gears and change directions because the beast must be either close forward, even though any footsteps are gone due to the strong now coming out.”

“I quickly took out my items just in case the monster might be near… I will admit my heart was beating fast and couldn’t really be wrapped around how these animals were being attacked and ended up in those horrible states. I could hear my heartbeat and sweat coming through my head but I try to calm down and take a deep breath and try think of positive thoughts but who am I even lying? I was extremely paranoid at the moment due to everything happening in the past 24 hours. I’ve pretty much dug my own hole by doing this in the first place and even if I’m able to leave, I will still have to suffer the consequences of my actions. Only can blame me due to this… only me.”

“However, after storming away from the situation with a bit of sorrow and troubled mind at the time. However, when looking around my surroundings, I realized that I was near the place with the most trees on the level. 2. Almost all the trees were extremely close together which could make it hard to go through… Until…”

“When walking past the multiple pine trees, I still need to make sure that no monster could possibly jump at me unexpectedly so I had the camera angle move in a way that I can see infront and the side of the trees but due to this I would not only find the puzzle piece to solve this mystery but also the first domino effect which would transpire the next following events.”

“Throughout all the trees covering each other, I spotted something that extremely caught me off-guard. I noticed that some trees covering each other, I could still see some kind of figure behind the pine trees and watching. I stopped once seeing the figure but it also alerted the unknown person and seemed to almost leave but not right away. However, by looking at him… the more I seemed to recognize the player… specifically the yellow ushanka the player was wearing… until it clicked. I thought at the moment who this person might be but the moment I turned my avatar around, the unknown player begun bailing out of the situation.”

“I knew I couldn’t let this person escape so I began started to sprint but from the small fragments I could see behind the trees, he wasn’t moving particularly fast so I decided to sneakily move past him and try to surprise this person.”

“So once I’ve started acting through my plan and started waiting for this person to encounter me, I’ve started to rethink if this is a good idea or not. I don’t know if this person was a threat or one of the players I was supposed to find. However, I’ve begun building a strong courage and not backup from the idea and even if I did… it would had been too late then.”

“Now I was just waiting for the person to arrive with my weapon in hand. I could start hearing the noises behind the trees become more louder, expecting the unknown person to pop out and face me in front of me. However, before I saw his face, I could see somewhat of his hand pushing the pines aside to move throught. But, it wasn’t… natural to say atleast. His hand was moving very fluidly, more than the capacity of the roblox avatar could. On top of that, it was shivering in a way that look from an outside software from roblox studio. It was extremely suriel.”

“Even before I could even react over what I was seeing… I’ve seen how the person finally came out of the woods and extremely got scared the moment he saw me face to face. The said person almost fall down from the shock of his face. I also got a bit frightened by the next content I’m going to say but after looking at him at that moment… my theory end up being true. That was HockeyRockery ‘Danny.’”

“His body was shivering uncontrollably, it seemed that he was exposed for the winter for so long without anywhere to keep warm. There were blood stains over parts of his jacket and jeans, the cuts of the avatar were still visible looking close such as his left hand, right knee, even a bit from his mouth. He was in critical condition! I also noticed of the eyes, they were purely pink. I realized that he must had gotten an disease called frostbite.” “which also keep in mind which would play a huge role in the future.”

He also seemed tired out of his mind, he seemed not to sleep for many days straight. He was simply not good in condition, which completely stunned me when I first encountered Danny.”

“I was in complete shock as well, even though I had a theory which came out to be true. It was him, it looked like the photo Arthur sended me and the username above proved it as well. However, the bigger question was how he even manage to survive for alone an entire day. You might be currently asking yourself why I’m chararesting him if he was a real person… Which hold on because what you gonna hear is completely wild!” “Of course, the first thing I’ve did was typing as fast as I can if he was actually HockeryRockery. He was even more scarred and started to beg for his life, the way he was pleading was actually kind of unnerving to be honest. I’ve quickly went and try to explain that I wasn’t going to kill him but rescue him and the rest from the request of Arthur, maybe this could had been less dramatic if I didn’t had my weapon in hand.” “Eventuall he calm down, but then soon would collapse down to the floor from the knee that still hurt. I’ve took out my first aid kit and began helping with his recovery. There was so many questions rushing through my head into what is even going on, first the weird closing of the mountain, then the dead and hurt animals and now seeing a person who I thought was long dead being right next to me fully injured and have an disease along side with it. I really didn’t know how I even got myself into this situation in the first place.”

“After a while when we both were calmed down and able to think clearly, I’ve first ask him what even happened. Which strap up your sealts belts because it’s pretty much insane what he tells me.”

“As far as I remembered, this is what Danny told me. After he finished his personal life duties, he went to meet with his other friends at the lobby. They had make sure to send a link of the server for Arthur to join once he has the chance to play.”

“Everything seemed to be fine, no overprotective moderators, NPC’s actually being functional, and no certain ‘avalanches.’ It was just an ordinary hiking they thought all would be having that faithful day… Of course, that would completely change gears for what was about to happen next.”

“After an hour, they were somewhere in level. 3! They were going to continue and place to snow camp near at level. 4. Where all would celebrate the mutuals friend… However, something was on their way that would separate the six of them.”

“Nothing outstanding or unusual occur until they were somewhere at the beginning of the level which they encounter something so offputting and awful that completely got everyone scared at first. It was an actual another dead deer they found, similary with me with the fox. Everyone started to worried if this was supposed to happen, which ended up happening is two groups separating. There were three that wanted to investigate further more what happen with the deer which insisted to go further up while other three didn’t wanted to get involve on what situation they were currently upon. Which then both sides decided that it would best if one group look further more about it while another group goes to the nearest safety service cabin to receive help.”

“The people who wanted to do research was livingwring, 9999platinium, and EnergeticSaotic. While the opposite being RebbecaMel, ChurchSight, and of course HockeryRockery (aka Danny Martin.)”

“Afterwards both groups went their separate ways. However, what was going to happen next was definitely the craziest thing I’ve ever heard of my life.”

“Apperently, after finding the nearest cabin which they could ask for help regarding the dead sika deer. Nobody was there, even looking through the glass there wasn’t anything or anyone inside they could ask for help… except for a big screen which also displayed symbols and cryptic message. Similar to my own encounter back at the restaurant. However, after a few minutes of them stuck founded and thinking what else to do… they hear a vibrant noise, a very VERY vibrant noise which he recalled specifically. It was somekind of roar that was soured and itchy, if it was getting hurt in some capacity.” “However, after the scream. He started to feel weird, not in the game but in real life. He could barely stay focus, just as if he was in a blackout. Until he completely stop responding, afterwards he couldn’t barely breath, it hurted to move, walk, or even speak… Until he was finally conscious again to process exactly what has happened, then he realized that he was a bit cold… Looked around his surroundings, look at the others, and then realized… He was in the game.” “Everyone else started to also wake up, they also began to be aware that they were somehow inside of their avatars. Everyone began to freakout as expected, nobody knew what was even going on… until they start to begging hearing a slow and yet repeating whumping from above the mountain. They would instantly realize that they would need to leave as fast as possible…”

“Cyrus was the only one didn’t run away instantly the moment they heard the noise of a possible avalanche, instead. He began trying to enter inside thinking that he would be safe from the cabin. However he and Rebbbeca began to run away and try to find a high place or secure place to hide before it came and catch up with both. However, it pretty much came inevitable that even when sprinting, the avalanche was catching up with them.

“However, he propose the idea of climbing up the closest nearest tallest pines to avoid getting buried alive which both were. However, it turned out that he got picked the worst tree because the moment it arrive… it began to break apart.”

“He in a moment of desperation decided to jump and try to grab the nearest tallest tree that was near him… but he failed trying to even reach it. In fact, the way he got his scratch of his arm was due of breaking his arm from some of the branches of the trees down below.”

“He was taken by the avalanche and it would be the last time he would see Rebbeca…”

“Now the question was into how he manage to survive the avalanche to begin with? Which I ask him that after he came into that part of his story, which he simply replied that he doesn’t really remember. He only remembers waking up outside of the avalanche, he was probably near below level. 1. Probably one of the nearest strong stress stopped him there, he had an broken arm and even broken knee which they were still bleeding out. On top of that, now he realized that he had somekind of disease due of his skin turning more white than usual…”

“He lost his backpack and content from the avalanche, he doesn’t even know how long he was dug back into the snow ground. But now he had a simple goal, trying to find the rest of his friends. Either if they are dead or alive… which somehow felt, touched? I dont know but the way he say it had a more genuine tone than the Arthur bastard will ever be, which is the best segway into what I wanted to talk about… Arthur.”

“You see, I really haven’t talk about arthur because I feel that what he would do next is the worst thing he would ever do in this situation. At that moment I was still completely pissed regarding with the blackmail he threatened to release. However, I still wanted to get him back by rarely giving him updates just to spite him. At the moment I knew I had to be serious for once and take a picture of Danny.”

“The moment I sent that picture and Arthur definitely saw it… he went immediately offline…”

“...”

“At that moment I completely lost it.”

“I had to come out of the room out of frustration and thinking into why the hell would I even decided to help out this little shit to begin with me! To help his friends? Sure but he has been such an awful person and definitely didn’t want to ever talk to this person ever again after this investigat-No, this isn’t a investigation anymore, I was convienced into doing this just to find this and be treated with no respect my boundaries or feelings…”

“But also at the same time… Looking at Danny and how he was in horrible condition, barely can walk and move to avoid losing more blood than he has too. I knew that what he said truly meant what he said, and if he wasn’t. He deserves a medal for convincing at the time for what I was going to do next… I walk up close to him, and I typed out exactly this towards to him to read.”

" "

“And the expression of his face once he saw it and read it was filled with pure of joy after the endorsement he had to go throught. He afterwards leaned to give a welcomed, which I’ll would had hug him back if I had the chance at that time…”

“Afterwards, I’ve still tried to get in contact with Arthur but atlast, it was pretty much been inactive for the next 10 minutes and it’s evident he has no intention of responding back.”

“I knew that I had to do something because Danny seemed to still be treated due of his frostbite condition and still deliquite body that could be shattered if not taken proper care off. I looked out for the map I had in my inventory and tried to look for an available Safety service cabin which we can both take place and be secure.”

“The next hour was spent for me and danny hiking horizontally into the nearest cabin, which I will admit that it was not easy to say persay. First problem was that I had to take care of Danny which he would grab my shoulder which would helped him further move from his broken ancle and arm. It was extremely outstanding and surreal of seeing him being able to move fluidly and grab upon, which push my believe of him being trapped in the game further more. Second problem is that there is somekind of creature in this forest! Danny said that while he doesn’t really had seen any ‘monsters’ or anything outstanding, he has definitely hear the roars and other dead animals.. However this is just speculation because I never got to be able to confirm this but everytime I brought up the idea of seeing a dead person, he declines but still give this vibe that he isn’t telling the full truth.”

“Getting right on topic, it was a bit hard but eventually we would find the first cabin which we found. It was still being able to be intact even after the avalanche but could easly be break apart with a hammer or wreaking ball. It took a while to enter but with the amount of pushing from the help of Danny, we were able to enter into the safety service cabin!”

“It was completely in shambles inside of the cabin because it seems that it has been raided and taken props and foods but there were some still available lefted in the pastry of the office. Either way, our goal was just to find a place aftermidnight (In-game.) Then we set up a little camp and further more try to cure his frostbite by using the cooking skills in game to make soup or set up the fireplace. However, it seemed that the disease he got was a bit stronger than I thought which he still remained having the cold skin of his. After a phew minutes, I’ve put danny to rest a bit while I think further more about the situation and also have him need the amount of energy needed before the morning.”

“Afterwards I’ve been once again thinking about exactly what happen with the first hours spend into this game. I will like to apologies if I keep saying “Oh how I reflect into why I did this to begin with” because that is pretty much in the past now, even if I get fired from my group and get disown from the community, at this point I even consider myself to just completely erase my internet existence after this event. I feel that I’ve entered into a situation I shouldn’t had partacen in any shape of form and should had been full aware of that fact.”

“Thinking all way back into my first years working for the group, I feel that I rarely did any of the effort other than just reviewing the messages. Me thinking at this solo investigation could had been my way to be known further more and let those fantasies to overtake my critical thinking. But now that I have this person to take care for, I’ve been thinking exactly after this event if everything will go normal. Thinking the outcome if I did find the six and bring them to safety and remove this “curse” they have, or still being able to keep my occupation or hell, even promote me… Wild possibilities which I full hard well that they will be only that.”

“Around that same time I was further more thinking about the situation and what would be the best move to do at the moment. I thought I could walk around outside a bit to just see the dark sky. One thing that I’ll always adore is when it would be midnight, it would always be a pleasure just staring down into the stars and feel inner ease from al the stress.”

“I’ve went outside quietly without alerting Danny, it was very quiteful and windy, still snowing a bit! Looking up to the sky still had stars but most of them were blocked from the clouds. Looking around the shack, I could see some possible paths to somewhere like a ski lifts and use them to get into the levels faster… However, I would start to feel weird per say, I was starting to feel this aerie and uncanny tension from looking into deep towards the pine trees. They were colliding with each othe and full of snow. However, I still felt that someone could pop out and harm the both of us.”

“Then it hit me, I’ve remember that one of the items that came with the bundle package from earlier was a marker which could cross and exactly remember where were to begin with! I’ve then decided to mark one of the trees that was close to the cabin and make a cross symbol to know if we were close or not.”

“Afterwards I had to now wait for Danny to wake up once the sunshines… After half an hour later, he would wake up and be “ready” to continue going, or atleast what he told me how he felt at the moment.”

“Soon we would leave the cabin and head into our next destination, the Ski lift. I’ve explained to Danny that we should probably go into the ski lifts to be able to go up faster and probably have more security from any other dangers. However, in order to go into that station, we need to go through one of the activities which is the ‘ice cake slicers’ or simply a ice rink taking place in a cave. We really can’t go through up or down because having Danny to try to hike would take long time and another problem is that were in daylight and anyone can see us which would be better to just go forward and not go any other directions.”

“The moment I told the place, Danny expressed to me how he is actually passionate about hockey (which explains his username) which made him more motivated into going into finding his rest of his friends. Which once again, delighted me and give me also a boost for my motivation to keep going, because if Arthur is going to support me, then Danny or any of his friends will!”

“However, one little detail that was extremely concerning was that Danny wasn’t getting any better… His vocal chord seem to be worse than before, barely can form any sentences without coughing or deeper voice tone than before, he stills shivering from the cold and even with the bandages, cant stop from still more blood being able to leak out.”

“I also ask him again if he was feeling fine and even though we both know that he is an awful state, he tries to undermined the problem that they will find another cabin and maybe have proper food and health… Even though I want him to be in good condition and no longer posses that frostbite, reality kicks again making me realize that he needs actual proper assistance from assigned doctors for the game.”

“However, I still wanted that good mood to be present which I decided to try and bond with him regarding hockey which I’m still glad I did. It’s a good distraction from the current stress and paranoia and being able to talk about hobbies we care about. He explained how he got into the sport and meets his friends such as Arthur while in the othe hand I’ve explained exactly my roots as a creator and manager of the account.”

“This might be one of the most pleasant memories from this tragedy I had to endurse into, because it was the only of the phew times I could connect with some of the players without worrying regarding death or threats coming down our way… However, this memory would only last short once upon we finally arrive into the Ice Cake Slicers… Afterwards it would only be a downwall spiral from here…”

“We arrive at the place, it took around 15-20 minutes to get there. It seems that it wasn’t really affected by the avalanche but it was still very dark inside the cave. I’ve took one of my items of my backpack which was the lantern to be able to see clearly! At this point we must be careful because from what Danny told me, the activity has multiple paths and taking one can lead to a other direction such as below or upper which isn’t our goal to archive.”

“I also had to keep in mind that Danny was more vulnerable and viable for an incident than me which is why I have to make my steps very carefully, I can’t take a big steps with Danny holding my shoulder as much as he can. Especially since we are in ice ground which makes slipping more likely.”

“At first when stepping in, everything was going actually pretty smooth. While yes it was extremely dark and barely light through the path, it was still possible and Danny was able to move through the ice without slipping! I thought at least that we would leave out of this within 10 minutes at minimum. Looking through at the cave, it had a dark ocean color over it’s walls, some minerals were also being able to be spotted through the ice, and it generally it was very cold inside. “

“Eventually we arrive at the main hobby area of the ice rink, it was very deep and big. It was extremely dark without the lights but can still somewhat see the ice rink from the lighting of the ice. Looking above, there were multiple ice icicles hanging above us.”

“It took a few minutes to figure out where exactly is the path towards the ski lift but eventually we could see a sign which indicates were to go, which we spend no time wasting to leave… However, I would feel a vibrating movement around the area where I was… even including myself.”

“I believed there was never something I wouldn’t ever recognize it, and yet, this feeling, was nothing like the rest. I could hear vibrate throughout my body, my heartbeat slowly increasing throughout seconds, my brain become more and more cold, I didn’t know what would make me make this reaction.”

“Of course I was starting to freak out and immediately after having this sensation, the cave would began to crumble apart! There was something above that was making the ice slowly break apart. I began moving my character further to the exit, but it would start to hurt further more the more I try to look more into my screen.”

“Danny starts to notice and in desperation tells me to leave the server this instant, because if I didn’t leave the server… I would become a new possible prey towards the beast. I knew I couldn’t just leave Danny here but I could see for the last moments see Danny in distress telling me to leave the server before it’s too late. I began typing to him that we both were leaving the cave safely… Until, unexpectedly… I vomitteted in front of my laptop.”

“However, it wasn’t anything I’ve particularly eat or even blood…  ”

“...” “Danny began trying to yell at me to please leave the server before it’s too late, even beginning to cry to just getting me to just leave while I still have my chance… But I know full well after this event, there was no way back from this rabbit hole anymore. In fact, I’ve lost that opportunity way long before this even happened…”

“Danny began trying to yell at me to please leave the server before it’s too late, even beginning to cry to just getting me to just leave while I still have my chance… But I know full well after this event, there was no way back from this rabbit hole anymore. In fact, I’ve lost that opportunity way long before this even happened.”

“Eventually, I just typed out this to Danny in my last moments of being in this earth… I’ve said to him;”

“ ”

“The moment I typed that out… my brain completely went blackout.”

“I vaguely remember what happened exactly next my body stop responding. I never felt this pain in my life, every second was pure torture to go through. My heart was beating uncontrollably, my body was shivery and tembringly, and I couldn’t really see anything but pure darkness… It was truly one of my scariest moments of my life.”

“I still felt of vomiting more of that weird liquid and barely could breath while my body was in pure chaos. I would had thought that this is were the end of my life, everything bad was happening at once and I would had believed that I would die from this reaction and never be able to save Danny or find the truth behind this mystery. Just talking about this is still haunting because it’s something that still makes me think at night, especially about what if I did close the game before I couldn’t respond anymore. Would I had been alright? Would Danny been better off from me? Was this a bizarre dream I would had dreamed up or a purgatory hell that myself set up?”

“At this point, I could understand now how Danny and his other friends felt when they received that reaction. Its painful, sickinning, and unknow conscious. As said before, I can’t really remember what happen while I was having the reaction. However, might as well didn’t because I would had still being freaked out from the unexpected turn of events.”

“I believe after couple of hours passed, yes, hours. I was finally conscious and can grasp upon what was happening exactly. I’ve woked up, but soon realized something… I felt something slippery facing back from my facing from my back of my body.”

“In that moment I’ve realized… I was somehow inside the game.”

“I began to get freakout about what was going on but then I immediately realize that I was still inside the cave. Many of the Ice broke apart and icicles dropped and fortunatenly none of them hit me. However, looking through the area… I couldn’t find Danny.”

“I then thought of the worse that he might had been crushed by one of the pillars of the ice but the moment I’ve looked down, I saw a path of blood going out to one of the paths that wasn’t the originally route. Which relived me at first but then looking at the blood again, it wasn’t little drops of blood. It was a large longpath of blood.”

“I knew I had to look for him but now the biggest problem now being was that I was in the game. I couldn’t really leave out from the game and now any serious injuries could mean the end of my actual life which I had to leave the place carefully.”

“Once my brain gained the conscious to comprehend my surroundings, I began getting lots of questions in my head but at the moment I didn’t need neither the time or think about it because Danny might be in great danger and have to save him once again…”

“I’ve followed the path of where the blood was left and everything would stopped until the entrance of the cave and the trail of the blood would… stop.”

“I didn’t know exactly what to do next afterwards, but in my head wanted to just cry. I’ve lost progressed and now in a more dangerous situation because of my concious now being in my roblox avatar. Looking around the mountain was very silent, especially from an afternoon inside game..”

“But I know that I’ve already came far and I could’t just lost Danny. Even though we both just meet in the next 24 hours, I believed he was a good kid. I didn’t exactly want anything bad happened to him and letting him down with the promise of finding the rest of his friends. Even if he is truly dead, I still want to promise to him that his wish will still be come true.”

“But now the current goal to find Danny has now become my second priority… Because I will venge this young kids wish!”

“I hope afterall this… He is still being able to grin aftereverything that would happen…"
