Episode Two: Checkmate

Warwick sneaks back into the apartment, carefully and quietly turning door knobs and walking upstairs till he gets on his laptop, and sits there thinking.

"...You're back early..." His roommate says after waking up with a groan of annoyance.

"SHH! I'm trying not to die!"

"Then just play like money-whatever where you didn't actually die...Or go to sleep..."

"YOU'RE A GENIOUS!!!" Warwick yells.

"WHAT THE HELL!? Why are you yelling at four something in the morning!?" Warwick's roommate yells back in annoyance.

"I'll be quiet, just go back to sleep,"

"You better, or I'll turn you in or something..." His roommate says as he starts to dose back into sleep.

Warwick rapidly types through Wikipedia pages, mumbling under his breath. 

He comes across the Milletian page on the Mabinogiworld Wiki and his eyes gleam with delight. 

"Got it. As soon as I go into Tir Na Nog, or Erinn, I will enter the Soul Stream and become immortal as long as I can have Soul Stream access. I'll stay in Tir Chonaill, go to classes, master those skills, and go from there. Now, what's number two?"

He leans back as he ponders where number two is.

"So this is the plan. Take magic from Mabinogi, and find any Mage's College in Mundis, and impress them with magic they've never seen. After I survive Elder Scrolls, I'll head to Metroplexity. Question is, when will I be in Elder Scrolls..."

He then looks up the Elder Scrolls timeline, and dives into researching the timelines.

"You're still awake?" His roomate asks, already awake and dressed for class.

"I'll be fine, I'll sleep at the inn once I go to Erinn," Warwick smugly explains.

"You're going to get sick or something playing all these games. You're making me genuinely worried,"

"Just go to class, I'll catch up."

"Oh, I am. I'm not going to be late waiting for you to finish gaming," The roommate says as he walks out the door.

Warwick quickly gets up, locks all the doors, and covers all the windows.

He sits back down at the computer, pulls out the lamp, and gives it a good rub.

"How can I help you master?"

"I have my worlds selected, my lovely servant."

"What worlds are they master?"

"First world, Erinn from Mabinogi, entering through the Soul Stream. Second world, Elder Scrolls, arriving in the third era year 401, in Cyrodiil. Third world Metroplexity arriving at Metroplex U."

"Verry specific master. Do you mean Vindictus?"

"Absolutely not! I meant it exactly how I said it. Nice try though!" A smug smile like someone who just called checkmate crawls across his face.

"As you wish master. You should head off now."

"I'll go later. I have a class to go to. You're free to leave."

"You know I'm not done."

"You can finish whatever you want with me later, I've already won."

"We shall see, master," She says sarcastically, as she disappears.

Warwick carefully places the lamp and laptop in his messenger bag, slips on his uniform, then heads to class.
