Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

"It's not advisable to hit my body with your bare hands, Leva."

Leva tilted her head with a frown. "What? What kind of monster are you?"

The robot with a dull silver body in front of Leva raised his hand. He spoke without opening his mouth. "I'm not a monster. I'm an android... You know, a man-made earth creature made of metal? Maybe you're surprised by my appearance. Well, actually, I have human skin, but it's burned out."

I looked at the android's shoulder, which was written with the number 34. Three-four. Trevor.

There was a loud bang. A portion of the blue mech exploded. Leva immediately lifted Eric's body and carried him away from there.

"Trust me, Leva," Trevor said as Leva put Eric's body into the grass again. "I've been leading you guys all this time, haven't I? If I wanted to betray you, I would have done it a long time ago. Hell, I don't have any fighting skills. My creator didn't program me like that."

Attack Range: 0/100

Melee attack: 0/100

Yes, his close and long-range fighting ability is zero. However, I wouldn't believe it right away. It could be that this android has traits that can manipulate its stats. I need to check information regarding android like this.

I pressed the pause button and checked through the in-game browser. However, after searching for a while, I couldn't find what I was looking for.

There is no data about android like this.

Is this a bug like when I found that mech? Could Trevor be just a game asset that accidentally appeared?

So many questions in my head. So, I decided to ask the internet forum. Maybe someone has the same thing as me.

***

And after a matter of hours, I actually got something unexpected. Apart from that, no one has met android. Fringe Softwork as the developer of this game also made my discovery a big deal. They reported it all over social media.

I'm actually the first person to meet an android.

What's even more annoying is, Fringe Softwork refuses to answer my questions, even after I've chosen just one question.

Is this android good or bad?

I had to wait until other players found the android. And who managed to do that was not too many. The appearance of the androids felt so random, without a clear trigger.

Or is the trigger so subtle that we don't know?

And after studying the gameplay of the people who met the android, I came to a conclusion. The chance of an android being bad or good is 50:50. It might be a significant risk, but now that I know the immense benefits these artificial creatures can provide, I can't just let this go.

I can't waste Trevor.

So, after weeks, I finally pressed the play button.

"Errrr…. Can I check this friend of yours?" Trevor asked. Maybe if his synthetic mouth were intact, he would wince. "The wound is quite severe, and I've brought a medical kit."

Trevor held up a white box with a red cross in his hand. Leva looked like she was about to argue, but I whispered something to her.

"Fine, but if you mess around, I'll crush your head." Leva threatened and lowered her hands.

Trevor hastily crouched down and examined Eric. Meanwhile, Leva picked up a large rock and lifted it up. The android turned his head to the woman, making a mechanical creaking sound.

"Ah, you're on guard. That's good." Trevor started taking bandages and other equipment from the first aid kit. "Well, I hope that after I treat Eric, you'll accept me as a member of your group."

Leva didn't reply, just stared at the two cameras that served as eyes on Trevor's face.

"Now we just have to wait for him to wake up," Trevor said after he finished doing first aid to Eric.

Leva looked around at the ruined Acornhull tribe in the distance. If you look closely, human corpses are still lying there. Some are burnt, some are rotting. And what is even more terrifying is the scattered body parts.

The red-haired woman faced Trevor again, still holding the boulder in both hands. "So, like people from Earth who have last names…."

"That is my creator's last name." Trevor shrugged.

"Creator?" Leva's brows furrowed. "You mean your god?"

"No, no, no." Trevor chuckled. "He's an ordinary human like you but has special intelligence."

"I see." After that, Leva fell silent. It seemed she was at a loss for words. A robot like Trevor is certainly beyond her expectations.

"So, what are you going to do, Leva?" Trevor shrugged. "Your supplies are in that mech of yours, right? Unfortunately, that mech was damaged quite heavily."

Grimacing, Leva looked at the mech she was riding in. The giant thing had already started to burn.

"Don't worry, even if it burns like that, I can't detect any radiation." Trevor rose to his feet.

"Not that." Leva looked at the Acornhull tribe again. "Looks like I'll have to look for supplies there."

***

There was one mech that was still in pretty good condition. However, I couldn't let Trevor ride it. I still don't believe in that android completely. So, I asked Leva to collect the corpses using the mech while Trevor looked for supplies that could still be used. Leva seemed to have a hard time doing that with the mech, and Trevor continued to provide voice assistance.

Yes, this may seem wrong. We took things from the destroyed place. However, it would be better if my colonists had more food in a survival situation.

Leva lightly massaged his neck. She had tied a piece of cloth to cover her nose. However, it seemed that it was not enough to dispel the smell there. The cockpit was occupied by the pilot's rotting corpse, after all.

The red-haired woman held her breath as she was about to put the last corpse onto the pile. The corpse was a female with silver hair. Even though the corpse's face had been shattered, I could still guess who the young lady was from her posture.

As soon as Leva put the corpse into the pile, Trevor, who was below, waved his hand. Behind him were three large sacks.

Leva opened the cockpit door and got off the mech, approaching the three sacks. Most of the contents of the sacks were food, but some contained medical kits. In one of them, Leva finds emergency food that is usually in the escape pod. However, she was not enthusiastic to see the foods that she thought were very delicious.

"I have also collected these." Trevor showed me a dull-colored wooden box filled with small canisters of a bright light blue liquid. "It's the antidote. I feel it would be safer to keep it in a place like this."

"Oh, thanks." Leva nodded. "It's great that you gathered them all so quickly."

"Well, I can't be tired."

The sun was almost setting. Leva looked at the large cremation fire in the distance. Near the fire, Trevor watched in case anything went wrong.

Eric squirmed, groaned, opened his eyes, and lightly touched the bandage on his head.

"If I were you, I wouldn't get up." Leva sighed, pressing lightly on the man's chest. "Take it easy. Your wounds are quite serious."

The man turned his head to the cremation fire. His brow furrowed as his eyes caught Trevor's figure.

"That's Trevor," Leva smirked a little. "You didn't expect your new friend to be such a metal creature, did you?"

"Oh, God." Eric rubbed his face. "I thought I was hallucinating. It turned out that I did see an android whose skin had peeled off. They are very, very rare, you know."

"You sound a little excited."

"I am."

Leva sneered. "I got this word from Gwen…. Nerd. You're a nerd."

Eric's gaze shifted to the ravaged Acornhull tribe. "Hey, did you manage to find the body of the Miro family?"

"Why do you have to ask like that?" Leva shook her head and sighed, then answered. "I found his sister only. The condition of the bodies here is terrible, and some are difficult to identify."

"After this incident, do you think our arrival is destroying your land? Look what my people are doing."

Leva was silent for a moment. "Honestly, I never thought about it. But, at least some of you are good. You, Seb, Gwen, and Kat… I don't think you guys have the heart to destroy this land."

"You don't understand, Leva." Eric laughed bitterly. "If you read the history of mankind on earth, you will know how much we love to destroy."

"Ah, why do I suddenly want to sleep?" Leva yawned widely. "I had a feeling you would give a lengthy lecture on the history of mankind on earth. I hope you won't do that. I won't listen."

Eric looked at Leva again. "Even though there's a section about legendary battles? You like fighting, right?"

"It's still boring. I can't watch it live.. Only listened to it."
