Let Me Game In Peace

It was December during winter, it was all cold and the snow kept falling Even though the thick curtains had been drawn shut there is still cold in the atmosphere, nothing can stop it. The wind blew inside the house through the loophole beside the window and blew against the figure that is lying on the bed beside the window. Ring! The phone rang for third time. The boy lying on the bed is too lazy to answer the call earlier well he did this time "Sean? This is doctor Ben. It's been two years since you have eye problem, if you don't treat it now, you might lose the chance and get blind completely?" Official and polite as usual Sean ignored the words as he concentrated on the game cartridge in his hand. Dark blue color, in size of an egg, with a clip mouth After he checked it, Sean clipped the cartridge that had cost all his savings with the virtual glasses Clip! Everything he saw changed the moment he put the glass on and an alert sign appeared He didn't care There was no such thing as safety hazard warning or safety measures when it comes to virtual games He didn't care about the hazards of the game. When the game was released few months ago, it claimed it can achieve a hundred percent realism Normally, it is supposed to overthrow the popularism of other games that has low realism percentage and become the best However, the game was banned before it was released to market because of it's high realism Real enough to kill you if you fail a game mission According to rumors, the first people that played the game were found dead few days later Report of dead people almost every day made the government decide that it won't be released to market. Even so, Sean heard there is one of this casino shops were the game can be bought secretly with lots of money There is another rumor that the game developers do force some thugs or any random person into the game Reason: if not enough people play the game, the loss is theirs Sean wished he was part of those forced into the game; he won't have to safe this much to buy the game Without thinking twice about the stress he had to go through to buy the game, the payment of extra fees, how expensive the game is and the potential danger that awaits him in the game, Sean bought the game If he did not manage to gather 2 million for his medical fees, he will go blind completely 2 million might not have been that big for a rich person but for Sean, it was unachievable Five years ago, when he had an accident and hurt his eyes and brain, he already spent lots of money in hindring his brain from having tumor though he wasn't struggling to make a living then He was only thirteen years then when he had this accident which also killed his parents. After spending all his parents money on treatment, he had nothing to survive with, except his twin sister As s young boy with no academic results, he was unable to get any job anywhere due to his age Still schooling, he could only work part time in an automatic workshop. He has been trying to contribute two million since then but no matter how hard he worked,he never had enough; even to survive He forgot about schooling and focus on full time working, he contributed for a long time but all he could get the whole years is a two hundred thousand That wasn't even close He had so much dreams for his life and he did not want to die young. His health was deteriorating and he might die anyway Then, he heard of a virtual game from one of the casino players that works in his place Rumours had it that any good equipment could sell for millions in the game so Sean took the chance He used his savings of five years to buy the game "Do it or die" he thought to himself When the alert sign vanished from his sight, the glass was pulled from his face. It was his twin sister that pulled it. "What were you thinking?" Sean shouted at his sister, he though he couldn't see her well, he still somehow recognize her "You bought the game without telling me and now you are about to play it without telling me, are you trying to get yourself killed?" "I'm trying to survive, we can't keep living like this" "Brother, thus game is capable of killing people" "What if? I'm blind and can't work anymore, I can't sit and just wait for death" "Brother I...can I play the game with you?" "No, you have to stay here and survive in case I die" "You won't die brother, play and be safe" Her brother was determined, there is nothing she can say to convince him so she just let him play in peace Sean put the glass back on and new words appeared in his vision Authenticating User Id] [User ID confirmed: Sean, 18, orphan, working in an automatic workshop] [Authenticating Element] [Welcome To The Apocalypse System, the game will begin shortly…] [Starting Single Player Mission] [Story line: The people of Agrah all know about the coming of devil tribulation, they all prepared but the devil army is stronger than their expectations. There are devils are everywhere, watching all powerful humans in Agrah and killing them. All civilians lived in fears in thier house, it will only take a fire ball to burn and kill them all. Some of the rich ones used money to buy protection charms from the powerful people. The dragons intention is to take over the world] [Lowest Ratings: kill a dragon and escape to a safe place] [To have higher ratings, kill more dragons and safe more people of Agrah] [Not having the lowest rating may result in death of the player] [The game tends to protect beginners, this level will not be too hard, it's an opportunity for beginners to have a good foundation] After Sean finish reading all words, they disappeared. His vision darkened that he couldn't see even himself. After a period of time, he heard a loud screech from distant behind him, he opened his eyes and his vision cleared again The good news is his eyes sees clearly in the game, unlike in the real world where everything is blurry, he see everything clearly Night is it in Agrah when Sean appeared. The first thing Sean saw was a house, there was no lights on the house but the door is opened. There a flashlight at the door step of the house and blood. Sean went to the doorpost and took the flashlight, he looked at the bllod on the ground; whoever owned that blood was draged away from the house. Sean entered into the house, it was neat and we'll arranged. The smell of blood from outside kept giving him a turning stomach "Hello…Hello…is anybody home?...Hello" Sean got no reply so entered into the house. Except from the smell, he didn't care about the outside or who died. If it was five years ago he might be afraid of blood but after having an accident and witnessed the death of his parents, bloods and corpses are not as irritating as people think Cautiously, he took a step and then another, ensuring there is no trap on the house. With the danger level of this game, he couldn't let his gaurd down. He have to do all things carefully or he might die. Sean search the whole house and found no one in it. He was about to get out of it when he saw the dinning table, he went there. There is a plate of food on it, this verified his motion of there is only one person on this house and he was murdered, probably by the devils. Sean saw a note on the table, beside the food. He took the note and read it "I'm supposed to be eating now but the devils are at my door post, I locked the door but it's not going to hold them for long. If they breakthrough and kidnap or kill me, my daughter is in the kitchen, inside the freezer. To whoever read this, please protect her, do not let her get killed by the devils" The note ended in such a pathetic way. Sean was on his way to the kitchen but he remembered, be have to equipment with him. What if the note is a trap, he will need a weapon to protect himself Thanks to his gaming knowledge after playing other low reality games lots of times "Character window" Sean called in his mind Luckily there is the same control to every game and Sean have been playing some games during his time alone so he his familiar with some game controls As he called in his mind, a character attribute window appeared in his vision [Name: Sean] [Age: 18] [Gender: Male] [Title: None] [HP: 100%] [Stamina: 100] Sean looked at his details and swiped the screen in his vision [Strength: Level 1{normal youth strength] [Agility: level 1{normal youth agility] [Constitution: level 1] [Spirit: Level 1] [Intuition: Level 1] Sean looked at his attribute, he wasn't expecting anything big either. Through his mind he swiped the screen again and the screen showed a other thing [skills: none] [inventory: None] [Equipment: Empty] [Rating: A worthless player]
