I remember it was the first time I ever tried to add something into a game i like.
"Oswald, I never thought you into vidiogames? " he said with a mocking tone and immedietly drink the cofee that is the special brand of the cafee we in.
I ask my developer friend for some tips to make a modification to the game im playing. It was a creature I want to add. As the modding community of it is gargantous I think it will be fun to make my own addition.
It was a spirit NPC to be exact, and the thing is everytime i do a playtest they just keep being vanished in the area I place them in. so I decided to seek advice from my gamedev friend.
"what, just that?. There is a hundred trick you can do if you want to make your NPC invinsible to the other NPC. " he leaned on the tabble in front of him. After he point to me with the cup on his hands he finnaly give in some advice.
"Try the No target command. "

As soon as the system start, it blasted me with many notification I have not yet understand. Numerous panel after and within panels jumbled like a User Interface.
it full of symbols I somehow able to understands, and between those lines that means something, I quickly fixed my gaze on the phrase that stick in my mind for a long time and reach it with my hand.
[#QUICK COMMAND]
There is already a list of most used command?, did it get left by the previous users?, wait why there is a trace of previous users?.
I quickly shut my thoughts before the fairy creature close their distance, and decide on the phrase i know for certain
[#NO TARGET]
I press the command button as quickly as i can.
But even after the command is executed the fairy creature in front of me doesn't seems to back down. in fact it seems to preparing an attack.
"it doesnt work. " i realize in a panic.
as if the fairy already lock on the enemy, its make some glowing energy that combined and grow into the shape of an orb.
the moment it launch the orb everybody reacting defensively, the teacher protecting the kid that cover their head, and the large man put his arm up to cover his eyes.
"wait!. " i said with a loud voice, almost shouting and not forgeting to put my hands up too, for cover like it would help.
But the energy orbs trajectory is not being directed at me, its go after the windows for some strange reason.
The fairy finally launch its attack and it hit something. the orbs have a light explosion and leave some particle trails in the air.
why did it not hit me?, did my command worked.
"it worked? " i unconciously lower my defense with the sheer confusion i felt
"is that it? " the large cheff looking guy asked with confusion and wipe some sweat off his brows.
"does anybody hurt? " the teacher still put his barrier up while checking the surrounding.
Alice and dorothy who is holding each other until now seems to calm down a little, except-.
Dorothy who is seems more fightened than before quickly reach something on the floor or table or the many book around her to grab.
After collecting and carrying 4 books in her hands she began to throw it one by one.
"th-the spirit doesnt go away. " she says while throwing books to my direction
" !! ".
she can see me?, im not the only one surprised as everyone else also widened by what she did.
the first one to approach her and try to calm her down is the other girl alice.
"Dorothy what are you doing, there is nothing there. " alice holding Dorothy arm and shoulder down tyring to reason with her.
But Dorothy still throws something at me, and the other can't seem to make sense what she is doing.
the two adults in the rooms also try to reason with her.
"Girl what are you doing, the spirit is already wipeout by my marvelous fairy. " the cheff looking man try talk to her while his tall hat went up and down with every step he take towards her.
"dont be out of your mind and calm down. " the teacher finally put off the bariers and point down the wand he is holding.
They goes back and forth trying to calm down dorothy for some minute while dorothy still staring to me in horror.
"W-what do you mean you guys can see it, its-its right there. " she stating what seem to everyone like a child delusion while pointing at me.
With me not knowing what to do i just give a nice "hodwy" gesture and smile. but this infuriated Dorothy even more.
"its-its right there. " Dorothy trying meet everyone eyes while pointing even harder. meanwhile in the meantime i try to touch everyone to tread the water and she goes to lose her cool even more
"waaah!, its there, it even touching everyone, how can you guys don't see it. " Dorothy with teary eyes tying to prove she is right. and even throw more books at me.
But at a sudden.
"Dorothy!!. " the room is alarmed with that shout, and everybody know who it is.
The real lady of the house stomp her way downstair and into the room. everybody know there is a troublesome time minute ahead.
"D.O.R.O.T.H.Y! can you hear me little fly! " the woman voice get to a point of yelling even when she already near.
The two girls shrunk with their face full of wories, especially Dorothy who's face is pale as graveyards.
The lady with victorian queen dress enter the room. holding her blooming gown with her hands and two maids follows behind her.
Her pretty face is boistered with angry expression thats enough to make a kid want to runaway from home.
"yes miss Laurelia. " Alice said with her head down in a formal way, like a servant.
"y-yes miss Laurelia. " Dorothy also join Alice bowing her head but in less formal manner.
"Miss Laurelia, we sorry for the disturbance there is- "
Without waiting for the teacher words to finish miss Laurelia stomp ahead and slap Dorothy until her cheeks red. it can be said There is no single muscle in her body that holding back on hitting that girl.
"I never understand why John-smith decided to adopt the two of you! " she utters harsh words after slaping Dorothy as if she doesn't hurt enough.
"Go to your room and put on the best dress in the wardrobe. don't you dare ruin the impression for our guest today!. " Laurelia point his hand into the hallway as to instruct the two girls to go out.
"And Alice, come here. " she point alice to her foot
"Of course miss Laurelia. " Alice began to kneel down and re-tied her unique shoelace that reach midway to her ankle.
while she tied her shoelace, Dorothy is walking out slowly toward her room she walk slowly almost as she waited for Alice to finish.
"Are you done? " miss Laurelia ask Alice.
"Yes Miss Laurelia. " she stand up and-
another slap given by miss Laurelia. she put the back on her hand on another girl face today.
"You should have keep Dorothy in check and remember to step back first before standing up. i don't want your filthy face in front of me. " after saying that she instruct alice to go to her room with her hand gesture like of those trying to shoo a dust.
"And Mr. Welldrick come with me, i need to discuss the matter of this little fly education with you. " as the two girl exit the room her attention is now goes to the teacher
"Yes, miss aurelia. " the sophisticated man and even the large man who dont get any flame seems down just to be near her, but i couldn't hear anymore thing since im forced to follow Dorothy.
They say they having a guest today, who could it be?
The two maid that follows Laurelia seems to be escorting Alice and Dorothy. they follows behind them and they chat with each other like its time for gossip.
"Miss Laurelia is really Scarry, I probably cry if i get shouted like that. " said the maid with ponytails
"yes i know, she realy ruthless, especially on today since our special guest arrive this noon. " the maid with short hair give her response.
" is it true the Wizard of the far east going to visit this place?. " the maid with ponytails close her lips to the short haired maid.
" yes it is, the emissary from land of the east is coming, do you know how unheard of that is? and i heard he is really handsome. " the maid with short hair give another response with a grin on her face.
the two maid following straightly behind Alice and Dorothy before the ringing of a door interupted them.
"you take care of the girls, i go open it. " the short haired maid then goes to the door.
" hey, dont run off like that. " the pony tail maid seems to annoyed with her coworker deciding on herself, but she goes along with her duty nonetheless.
Wizard? i guess with the existence of magic its only normal for a wizard to exist. and it make me wonders of the nation of this world if from the east mean anything.
When the maid open the doors, she realize the timing couldn't be even more worse.
What behind it is a man rabbit wearing white suit with a large syringe seathed on his hips.
