It's an admin

Defeat

Okay, sure it's crazy to fight an admin, but they aren't invincible. The game doesn't allow people to have infinite hp; it can't calculate that.

Sir Quintin Lonesworth, you have violated the EULA. Although this is your first offense, considering the magnitude of your crimes, we have decided to remove you.

That's better than expected. At least they assume your host is responsible rather than you. Still, it's not like you can just hand the knight over and go on your way.

You activate your aura and before you can do anything else, the admin flashes into your face and hits you with his club for 1400 damage.

Damn, you use Quintin's bounce ability to launch yourself away while dealing 2485 damage. You use your sword to buy some time while you set up some defenses. With Spirit of Legacy, you summon a magical orb that launches homing spells you got from a spellslinger in Zurch, a doppelganger from a summoner you met in the poppy swamp and some buffs from an Anari cleric in Lillyhammer.

You don't have enough time to regenerate your health before the admin comes charging at you. You pour a potion on Lonesworth's face and launch into battle with your sword and doppelganger. The knight's natural fighting style proves useful against the admin, since you can dash in and out of striking range at flash speeds.

Using bots as well, hacker? Why do you even log on? The admin simply appears behind you and strikes a backstab for 140 damage.

140? that's it? you look again at your health and gasp. 84/224, his backstab ignores armor. You decide it's time to cut your losses and sacrifice your doppelganger to cover your escape. Using bounce, you launch yourself into the air and grab hold of your dragon.

Get us out of here!

No, the admin appears before you. You try to kick him off, but your attacks just slide around him. The game informs you that he's protected. His hp can only go so low before his power activates and stops him from receiving any more damage. The admins have that ability as well. That Ability. You realize it too late.

QUINTIN LONESWORTH, YOU ARE HEREBY BANNED! The admin pulverizes the cavalier's head and his body falls to the forest below.

You manage to separate from Quintin before he derezzes, but the game thinks you died. Your metal body clatters on the dirt and refuses to move by your will. You're a full item now, with no agency in the world. You can't make tutorial messages anymore, or even hope to be sold into oblivion. All you can do is wait and let your senses dull.

Is this your end? Another's beginning?
