Suddenly the grinding became a metallic shriek.
“Ian!” Alaria called out in panic. “Ian, it doesn’t feel like last time!”
“It’s reversing the process!” Soraiya yelled, though I could hear the fear in her voice. “Of course it doesn’t feel like last time!”
Stig looked at me in alarm.
I glanced at him with a sick expression, then turned back to Alaria.
“Ian – IAN!” she screamed. “IAN, IT HURTS!”
“Boss, get her out!” Stig yelled frantically.
“Shut it DOWN!” I shouted at Soraiya as I ran for the chrysalis.
“I can’t!” Soraiya shrieked, her face panicked. “I – I don’t know how!”
Suddenly, a blast of white energy erupted from the chrysalis and knocked me onto my ass.
When I struggled to my feet again, what I saw nearly drove me insane.
Alaria’s flesh and blood body was fine, though completely still – but the robot head’s remaining eye had exploded. Black smoke poured out of her eyes and mouth, which was frozen in a silent scream of agony.
Terror a thousand times worse than anything I had ever experienced crashed down on me.
“ALARIA!” I screamed as I stumbled over to the chrysalis –
And then the worst thing of all happened and stopped me dead in my tracks.
A computer window took up my entire field of vision, its words more painful than a knife to the heart.

A friend of mine named M.H. Johnson writes LitRPG, and I highly recommend checking out his Endless Online series. It's all about a soldier who gets into virtual reality gaming to help deal with his injuries and PTSD - and then shit gets real.
