"I hate that fucking cat," I whispered, meaning every damn word.”

"And what?"
"What were you convicted of?" I asked.
"Ah. Improper use of resources."
"Right...What did you do?"
"I destroyed the sun."
"WHAT?" I practically screamed.
"I jest."
"I fucking hope so! What did you do?"
"We were volunteers," it said.”

“Nope!" I barked. "Stop right there, you bugger!"

"Now this one..." I pulled the multitool out and hefted it, before yanking it back as he tried to grab it. "Ah! Down!" I snapped, as the others laughed.
"But..." He whined, his eyes tracking the multitool desperately.
"This is a copy of a fucking copy. It's possibly highly dangerous and NOT to be used outside of controlled areas...ones that you set up in the dungeon and you have the glassine help you with, all right?" I demanded. "They warned that a side effect could be igniting the atmosphere if you fuck with it, so you be careful, and do not burn up my planet!"
"I'll be good!" Finn assured me hastily, taking it a lot more gingerly, before squinting at me again. "Anything else?"

“I played a few games myself, back in the days before consoles were ousted by the PC Master Race, and I’ve thought more than once about how these virtual worlds are made of numbers. Ones and zeroes, unless I’m mistaken. But think about this for a moment: what about the unseen particles that make up the human body? The atoms that make up everything we see and feel? Is it not true that the closer we look, the less we see? It’s not the collection of atoms that matter, but the man, yet the atoms are the matter that make the man. Can the same logic not be applied to the world we’re in now? Shanawan is made of numbers, but it’s not the numbers that matter: it’s Shanawan. If my cells malfunction I get sick and die. If the numbers falter we get glitches and lag. When we look at a landscape we see a landscape, not atoms. When we look at Shanawan we see Shanawan, not numbers. The two aren’t on the same level, yet they aren’t entirely dissimilar. The game is both fantasy and reality. Not too different from man.”

“But do you know what happens in a couple days?” I asked.
“The floor collapses,” she said. “Yes. But it is only you who dies when this happens. For us we go to sleep until the next dungeon opens. We will open our eyes, and it will be the same as it has been. Just another day. But one of these days, one of these days we will wake up, and we will be deeper. That’s what they tell us. Kill the crawlers, get better at killing, and you get to go deeper. And one day, eventually, we will be so deep that crawlers will never come, and we will finally have peace. We will have peace and a place to live and breed and have our little ones run free and not worry about killing for survival.”
― Matt Dinniman, Dungeon Crawler Carl
