I watched as the hero walked forth through the kingdom for the hundredth time. Everyone stood around him and cheered as he brandished his blood-covered sword tightly. 
 
 I looked down at my sword and looked back at the hero. 
 
 `` What does he have that I do n't?'' I asked myself out loud. 
 
 `` A bigger sword, my boy.'' A voice said behind me. 
 
 I snapped around, lifting the sword into a readied position. But I was not expecting what I actually saw. It was in the shape of a man, but he seemed to be flickering. His face coming in and out of view, different colored squares danced across his face. 
 
 `` What are you beast?'' I said sharply. 
 
 `` Something I could n't explain to you even if I wanted to, it would ruin your very existence.'' He said, his voice was cutting in and out. 
 
 `` What do you mean?'' I said, confused. 
 
 `` I am a mistake in your virtual reality that somebody else has created for you.'' It said, it was no longer a man to my eyes. 
 
 `` What is happening?'' I said, my mind started to slip. 
 
 `` I told you too much.'' It said, `` Goodbye.'' 
 
 Suddenly, it disappeared into thin air. Everything around me started to go haywire. Everything looked like the thing did, boxes of color danced around me. But then everything stopped, time had paused around me. 
 
 I dropped to my knees and started to look around. That's when I noticed that it was only the hero and I in the town. His back was turned to me, one of his fists was raised high in the air, as if claiming victory over something. But I quickly noticed that he was n't moving at all. He was frozen too. 
 
 Before I could react, I suddenly appeared directly behind him. Then everything went back to normal, the world around me was normal again. But something still did n't feel right, my hands felt like they were n't there. I looked around frantically and saw the being I had seen a few minutes earlier. It was waving a barely visible hand at me. I looked back towards the hero and felt my arms cock back with the sword in my hands. I watched in horror as my sword started swinging towards the hero. I watched the blade pass through his flesh, and his head started to fall towards the ground. 
 
 I watched it fall as if time slowed down once more, but once it hit. Everything around me went black, even my thoughts. 
 
 `` I hate glitches.'' The gamer said as he turned the system off and went downstairs for dinner.
