Hell's Glitch (LitRPG): Into a Dark Adventure Read Online Free

quickly died down to mere murmurs.  The headset tightened
itself even more on Sam’s head, some kind of headphones inside it cupping
tightly around his ears.  He couldn’t hear anything but the seashell effect and
he panicked a little bit at the seeming sentience of the machine.  Chills ran
down his spine as a quiet voice travelled through the headphones into his ears.
    “Hello and thank you, alpha testers.  I am the lead designer
of this game, Fulton Milner.  In a few minutes you will be in a virtual world created
by me and my talented team of artist, designers, and programmers at Full Core
Studios.”
    It was the voice of the genius who spearheaded the game.  He
sounded calm and confident, like most of the other tech geniuses when they did
presentations at their annual conferences.
    “This whole project has been a labor of love and intense
effort for all of us, but we need you to help us make it into true perfection. 
I’m counting on you all.  With that said, we’re offering bonuses to the best of
the best alpha testers.  Those who give us their all in finding errors we could
not find ourselves.  Right from the start, we’ll be giving a monetary bonus of seventy-five
percent added to your current pay rate to the first person to find five game
breaking glitches.  We’ll also be rewarding testers for reaching all sorts of
milestones within the game.”
    Sam’s breath caught in his throat for a second.  If he could
get that bonus, he could actually treat himself to something other than instant
ramen and lunchmeat sandwiches.  Hell, he could even get some extra art
supplies for his next commission, whenever that would happen.
    “It probably won’t be possible to find very many glitches. 
You can thank my world class elite team for that.  If any of you miraculously
find any more than that, we will decide on an even greater reward.  We haven’t
planned anything yet because we don’t think it’s possible.  It’s up to you to
prove us wrong.  Of course, lesser bugs are to be found and reported as well. 
We expect full reports from all of you, even those who don’t find bugs.  We
will walk you through the reporting process as we go.  Go forth, alphas, and
work hard, so we can make the best game possible, but remember to play even
harder.  In one minute, we’ll start the countdown.”
    Sam felt goosebumps all over his body from the
announcement.  The addition of bonuses made this gig even sweeter and made his
excitement levels reach a fever pitch.  They were all mere moments away from
delving into the game.  He couldn’t hear himself, but he felt his lips mouthing,
“I hope this doesn’t suck.”
    He couldn’t contain his childlike grin after that.  The
minute long wait was agonizing, but soon after he heard a robotic system voice. 
A large white number ten and some text appeared on the screen in front of him,
in a strange script.  The numbers were all different and seemed to play with
his eyes.
    “Initialization in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ...”
    ........
    ...........
    Sam had the strange feeling that he had just woken up.  Did
they knock him out?  Whatever had happened, he couldn’t feel his limbs or his
excess sweating anymore.  He couldn’t even feel his face and he still saw
nothing but blackness all around.  Suddenly, his world lit up all white, nearly
blinding him.  He wished that he had his hands to block out the brightness.  For
whatever reason, he couldn’t even squint.  He was soon after surrounded by a
beautiful blue sky and moving clouds that seemed to have come from nowhere, but
there was nothing else.  Text popped up on screen as if someone was typing as
they went.
