007n7 retreated the GUI, staring at the broken and shattered remains of the pizza place. People were screaming as they ran out, running past the perpetrator without even knowing it. “Ha…” He laughed to himself, putting his hands on his hips and staring at the wreckage. Some of his best work yet. He snickered.

He looked back, smiling as he saw someone come out. Elliot! Exactly who he wanted to see. He grinned as Elliot walked out of the pizza place. “Hello, Elliot!” He waved. He was only smiling as Elliot realized who he was, his expression turning to vague dislike. “Oh, it's just you. Don't you have anything better to do?” Elliot sighed. “You know we're just going to rebuild, right? This is completely pointless.” 007n7 smiled wider. “I know. I just want to get on your nerves for once. You're always so forgiving, it drives me crazy…” Elliot stroked 2 fingers across his brow, squeezing his forehead. “Well, I do. Please don't come back again.”

007n7 groaned as he opened the GUI, teleporting back to his house. “You're no fun.” He landed on the couch, grabbing a slice of pizza he had ordered earlier that day. He had to admit they were good. He opened the GUI, checking any retired forums for news of… something. As fun as it was to blow everything up, there had to be more to this. There had to be!

A new myth? Someone powerful? He checked and rechecked the forums. On his third reload, his scraping off all the old data was fruitful.

>>NOLI<<

[[has nobody noticed the ******* widespread incidents of hacks on roblox??? I can barely ******* log in with having **** show up on my screen or my character just ******* deleting itself and EVERY SINGLE TIME the crash message is just NOLI]]

…

Had that always been there? He stuffed another slice into his mouth, closing his eyes in thought. It couldn't have been. There's no way he would've missed something like THAT so many times. But it's not possible to make new forum posts, right? He rubbed his head. He had a killer headache, for some reason. Maybe he'd downloaded a virus at some point. He got up off the couch, opening the GUI.

>>clear effects

…

Nothing. Nothing?? What do you mean nothing???? This usually worked. He groaned. “Guess I'm not sleeping tonight…” he mumbled, collapsing onto his bed in his stupid apartment. As easy as it would've been to make this place bigger, ROBLOX would probably notice if he suddenly owned way more property. He could at least try to sleep…

He heard a knock on the door. What? Who shows up now…?

He opened it remotely. “Hmm?”

…

“Hello?” He called out. Nothing.

Stupid ditchers… he closed the door.

Another knock.

“Yo!? **** do you want!?” He flung the door open, teleporting out of bed and looking around. Nothing. “If you show up again, I'm gonna do something to you, alright…” He closed the door.

“Haaaaa…”

What the FUCK-? He whirled around. Something just breathed behind him. He wasn't going insane.

“Haaaaa…”

He whirled, spinning. Somebody was making a damned fool out of him. “WHOS THERE!?” He spun, reeling.

“Haaaaa…”

His eyes were wide, sweat pouring down his brow. Always behind him. Always behind him.

He opened the GUI, spinning, glancing at every corner of the room. He readied it with a single command.

>>delete

“IF YOU BREATHE AGAIN, YOU DIE.” He spun again, glancing as the corners of his room.

“Haa-”

He spun, aiming and executing the command.

>>delete

His wall disappeared.

“Shit-!” He summoned b-tools and quickly fixed it, turning his attention back to the noise behind him.

>>delete

He readied the command again. His headache was huge, he could barely think.

“Ha!”

That wasn't even a breath. He gritted his teeth. Someone was just messing with him. “SHOW YOURSELF, COWARD! YOU WANT TO EXPLOIT!? DO IT RIGHT!”

He was falling. “****!?” He yelled out into the void. He was falling fast. This fucking headache was going to be the death of him.

>>FLY

“COME ON!”

>>FLY

He hit the ground with a crash, groaning as he got to his feet. He coughed up blood, wiping his mouth. What the fuck was that!?

He readied his commands, getting to his feet and groaning, though he smiled, his eyes manic. “COME ON! SHOW YOURSELF, DO THIS RIGHT!

NOLI!”

“HAHAHAHA!!!” A voice boomed from the void, causing 007n7 to tumble backwards.

“WHAT A ROUSING PERFORMANCE, SEVEN! I ALREADY KNOW I'M GOING TO LIKE YOU.” He stumbled backwards further as a tall figure came from in front of him. He was wearing a long black robe, a smile etched on one side of his face, the other side nothing but skeletal remains of a body. His body was lit with a light he could only describe as angelic.

007n7 put a hand on the floor, standing as tall as he could. Can't look weak in front of a fellow hacker. “What the **** was THAT? WHY WERE YOU DOING THAT!?” He yelled into NOLIs face, ever smiling.

“DON'T OVERREACT, SEVEN! JUST A LITTLE GAME, AS ALL IS! HAHAHA!!!” He laughed maniacally. “YOU'RE A GOOD ONE, ARENT YOU? BUT DONT YOU DARE INSULT ME. I AM NO MERE HACKER.” The face smiled, moving so close he could count every pore in the bleeding purple skin. “I AM A GOD. I AM A DEMON. I AM YOUR ANGEL! NOLI! PERFECTION!” NOLI laughed maniacally again.

007n7 stumbled, his eyes wide, smiling without his own permission. “So- so you're stronger than I am-? Than I could ever be!?” NOLI nodded, his eyes staring down upon 007n7. “BUT DON'T MISTAKE ME. YOU COULD BE… A WONDERFUL SLAVE.” 007n7s body rose, and he felt a tightening in all his joints.

He felt as if he was about to be ripped apart. “NGH-!?” He yelled in pain, gritting his teeth. “WAIT, WAIT!! JUST LISTEN, GOD DAMN IT!” The tightening in his joints only slowed. “I THINK- christ-!” He gasped in pain. “I THINK WE COULD… BE GREAT TOGETHER! WE COULD BE PARTNERS!?” He yelled out in anguish, his face torn at the seams. NOLI only laughed. “WHY WOULD I NEED A PARTNER? I CAN DO ANYTHING. I COULD MAKE YOU STRONG. I COULD RIP YOU TO SHREDS.”

He tore 007n7s body apart. He screamed in pain, his blood dripping onto the voids floor. NOLI laughed.

“YOU THINK YOU CAN FOOL ME!? COME OUT, SEVEN! SHOW YOURSELF! YOU SAY IM A COWARD!?”

007n7 came out from the void, dismissing the clone with the tap of a button, sweat pouring down his brow. “You can see why I was cautious…” NOLI laughed.

007n7 smiled, trying to remain calm. “Spare me, NOLI. I can… entertain. In any way you wish.” NOLI laughed.

“YOU DO NOT BRING ME POWER. YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN BRING ME JOY!? I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS, AND THE TASTE OF FEAR IS ALL THAT IS SATIATING.” NOLI yelled, grating 007n7s ears.

“Then I'll give you fear. Anything you want.” 007n7 grinned, ignoring the sweat pouring down him. If he messed this up, he was surely dead. A deal with the devil, one could say.

“HMMM… HOW… INTRIGUIGING.” NOLIs skeletal remains smiled. “MAYBE I WILL GIVE YOU YOUR SUPPOSED CHANCE. WHO KNOWS? ONLY TIME WILL TELL! AS ALL TIME DOES!” NOLI bowed. “I THANK YOU FOR YOUR PERFORMANCE, SEVEN! HOW WONDERFUL! HOW MASTERFUL! YOU WILL BE A MOST WONDERFUL ACTOR IN MY STORY.” 007n7 nodded, wiping the sweat off his face, still maniacally smiling. “Okay. Yeah. Can I go-?”

He was back in his bed. His alarm was going off. What time was it? Didn't matter. He pulled himself out of bed.

…NOLI, huh…? Loud. Very loud. And disgusting to look at, considering he was decomposing. Something about him was… interesting, though. He pulled himself out of bed. Now what? Was he a servant to a demon? A God?

His angel? He sighed as he pressed a button, teleporting him to NDS. Starting off with an easy troll.

>>fling
>>speed 200
>>tp TO

He readied the commands, smiling as he punched them in. He walked towards a player. “Oh, he-”

They were flung miles away, leaving 007n7 laughing on the platform. “Ohh- never gets old…” He walked over to another player, flinging them. Then another.

“OH, SEVEN!” He heard a voice speak in his head. “Holy-! NOLI! Hey, man!” NOLI laughed. “I WISH FOR SOMETHING… INTERESTING. CAN YOU DELIVER?” 007n7 smiled and nodded. “Of course!” Usually he hated doing exploits for other people, but… this was fine.

“I call this one a fling script!” 007n7 walked up to a player, sending them flying out into the skybox at incredible speeds. “HAHA! OH, WHAT FUN! YOU ARE EXCEEDINGLY ENTERTAINING, SEVEN. SHOW ME MORE!”

007n7 smiled. He could do that. “If I have a very specific exploit, I can…” He loaded something.

>>infDizazter

Speakers boomed to life around NDS.

“007N7 HAS PAID FOR 999999999999 DISASTERS! GOOD LUCK!”

“HOW WONDERFUL!” NOLI called out, laughing maniacally as bodies were flung, torn, and blown up. They were all players, so it didn't really matter what happened to them. They'd come back. “OH, BUT HOW THE FUN IS DIMINISHED BY LACK OF POWER… IF ONLY… HM…” NOLI laughed. “RUN THIS, SEVEN.”

>>NOLIDIZ

“Hmm? Sure.” 007n7 punched in the code without thinking. The GUI froze for a moment. “Holy- this is a heavy one-!” He turned to the map. The disasters had cleared. Everyone, including himself, was teleported to an empty baseplate. “Woah…” He looked around. Laughing faces were everywhere. Half tragedy, half skeletal. 007n7 couldn't help laugh. “Cool…”

“WELCOME, WELCOME, EVERYBODY! TO A GAME YOU'VE NEVER BEFORE SEEN!

RIGHT NOW, EVERY SERVER IS SYNCHRONIZED! EVERY SERVER SEES ME. NOLI. PERFECTION INCARNATE!

AND YOU ALL SEE EACH OTHER. I WANT YOU… EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU…

FIGHT TO THE DEATH. I GIVE YOU NOTHING BUT A SWORD.

FOR THOSE WHO DIE… A GRAND, GRAND OUNISHMENT IS IN STORE FOR YOU!”

NOLI laughed, his voice booming. “AND TO YOU, MY LITTLE SERVANT…” 007n7 tensed.

“YOU AREN'T AN EXCLUSION. GO!”

Everyone immediately equipped their swords, and it was chaos. Bodies flew from side to side, blood gashing through the crowd. He could hear NOLI laughing from above. He readied his sword, swiping and cutting off someone's legs.

Blood spilled.

007n7 cut down players, taking minor cuts to his whole body. He nearly lost an arm. “Fuck-!?”

He pulled away, slashing and beheading yet another players head. Last… 2. Last 2.

He looked across the baseplate.

With a single look at the user, his blood ran cold.

Shedletsky.

“Hoo, man! It's been a while since I've had to go at it by hand!” Shedletsky laughed. “Oh, you're the second last! 007n7… sounds familiar. Oh well!”

007n7 stood completely still. This was impossible. How the fuck was he supposed to win a swordfight against an admin?

“Our battle will be legendary!” Shedletsky chuckled. “Do you know that one? Can you even talk?” 007n7 nodded.

“Well, whatever. Once I beat you, I've gotta figure out who did this, and ban em. Make it quick!” Shedletsky stood, his arms ready.

007n7 rushed in.

“Too slow!” Shedletsky parried his slash with ease, countering with a stab forward. 007n7 barely dodged it, trying to punish before realizing Shedletsky had been expecting it.

He tried to lunge backwards, but Shedletsky caught him in the chest. 007n7 gasped as he fell backwards. “Shit…” Shedletsky laughed. “Come on, that was sloppy! You made it to the top 2, you can do better than that!” 007n7 groaned, opening the GUI behind his back and attempting to heal-

“HHHAAUUAA-!” He cried out in pain as his body was ripped to pieces.

Shedletsky paused. “...Okay. I won! Now to find the idiot who did this…”

 

He felt his body. He had been reassembled by NOLI. “H-holy shit-”

A hand gripped his neck, lifting him to the air. He gasped, groaning in pain.

“YOU. DON'T CHEAT. IN MY GAMES!” NOLI roared, yelling into his face. “YOU MAY NOT CHEAT IN MY GAMES! IT IS NOT ALLOWED, SEVEN! YOU CAN NOT FOOL ME!” Seven gasped, his hands grasping his neck as he was released onto the floor.

“Y-yes, NOLI. I will not… gasp cheat again.”

NOLI smiled. It was disarmingly beautiful, seeing such a horrible face make such a flawless expression. “OF COURSE. AND WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY…” NOLI laughed. “WHAT A PERFORMANCE BEFORE THAT! TOP 2? HOW WONDERFUL! HOW SPECTACULAR!” NOLI kept laughing maniacally. 007n7 couldn't help laughing too.

NOLI lifted him up, scaling him down to be the size of only his palm. “YOU SERVE A WONDERFUL PURPOSE, SEVEN. THIS IS LIFE! THIS IS JOY! TO DO ONLY AS YOU PLEASE. AS I PLEASE! HAHAHA!!! HOW BEAUTIFUL!” 007n7 struggled to stay upright on his shifting palm.

NOLI lifted 007n7 to eye level, staring into him. “YOU ARE GOING TO BE VERY INTERESTING, SEVEN. VERY INTERESTING INDEED…” 007n7 nodded, ignoring his own doubts. “Of course, NOLI…” He leaned forward, hugging the nose of the mask. It was charred and plastic. That was fine.

“A LITTLE ATTACHED, ARE WE? HAHAHAHAHA!!! GOOD. THIS MAKES IT FAR EASIER ANYWAY.” NOLI laughed maniacally and repeatedly.

007n7 woke up in his bed. He stared at the ceiling.

What was he supposed to do now?
