Chapter 635: Single Player

"I'm dying?" Dex felt the pit of his stomach drop, even though he realized it was part of the game. "Is there anything that can be done?"

Nix had waited until Hyai left to tell him the news. "Of course. That's why you are here. Saving people is what I do."

Dex felt the urge to mess with him but refrained; who knew if that would result in a 'bad ending?' "You've dealt with fatal poisons?"

Nix nodded and walked toward the far end of the shop. "I saved Del Tali by placing her in a dragon egg. A fair bit of business if I say so myself."

"You're putting me in an egg?" Dex followed the Inferno Leader, stopping when Nix sat down.

"Sadly, there seems to be a temporary shortage of viable dragon eggs." Nix tapped his work table, causing a hud to pop up. "I can do better than an egg."

"So... Not an egg?" Dex felt like Nix was somewhat of a mad scientist. It made him wonder what Nix the player was like in the VRMMO; surely he didn't have seven wives.
