The Code of Bamboo Forest

Does the Code of Time Go Back?

"No no no! This can't be happening. We are the strongest team in this game! Why are we losing?!"

"This battle is over! [FERQUIS PERFECTUS CODE...]"

The moment they have finished the chant, I see myself falling into a bottomless pit, but I woke up in my bed. No, that is not a dream, but a real event that took place in a virtual game. Yes, I am a player!

"I thought we can defeat them. Okay, better luck next time. Let's see, what we're gonna do today is to... buy the latest game of SUMMAX Games?! Is my phone kidding me? Why should I buy that game when I already have... it? Wait, where is my 'LudoxApp'? Mom, have you seen my LudoxApp?"

"Son, are you joking me? You just bought your LudoxApp just an hour ago. See, its still on the kitchen table."

"What? How is that possible? Mom, you are the one joking. My LudoxApp is bought 8 months ago."

"Son, what are you saying? Today is April 12, remember? Yesterday, you got first in your class, so me and your father decided to buy a LudoxApp for you and your brother. If you don't believe me, check the date on your computer."

I decided to open my computer, then became astonished on what I saw. News all over the world is talking about the LudoxApp, the first ever virtual headset that makes you see a virtual world like a dream. LudoxApp works like an input and output device. The input, which is the game stored inside, will transfer data from the game to the headset. The output is that the data kept inside the headset will be transmitted into your brain in the form of video and audio. Then it will connect to the Earthnet to sync the video and audio with all the users inside the game. With the date shown in my computer, I started to doubt myself.

"What is happening? Am I getting crazy? Let's see, the last thing I remember before this is that I am attacked by a spell in the game. Maybe it is caused by that spell? No, no, that ain't possible. The game doesn't affect our own body, it only affects our accounts. I wonder how I get in here? But whatever the case, I am awesome! There is not doubt, I travelled through time. Oh boy, I am so freaking awesome! Today is April 12 and the time is 13:42:04, which means Angel will call me in 3... 2... 1."

At the exact timing, the phone rang. When I picked it up, I was right, it was Angel who called.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Hello Phil, it's me, Angel. I just like to ask a question to you. Have you bought the LudoxApp and the game already? If you did, how much was it in total?"

"Yes, I already have Angel. The LudoxApp is worth of $500 while the game's price is $200."

"Whoa! That is so expensive. No worries, thank you Phil. See you in the game."

"Wait! I have something to say. Please listen."

"My gosh, you surprised me. What do you have to say? You better hurry, I need to make our next thesis. We are college students after all."

"Do not get surprised on what I'm about to say. I time travelled! I came back here from the future!"

"Wow, really?! Okay, now wake up! Are you an i***t? Did you hit your head somewhere? My gosh, I didn't think I have an insane friend."

"No, no, no. I'm not insane, I'm telling the truth."

"Okay, okay. What is your full name?"

"Why would you ask that?"

"Just answer it."

"Phillip Francis Smithson"

"Who am I?"

"Daisy Angeline Villa"

"See, you're not insane. You are just wondering and imaginative."

"What the! I'm telling you, I really time-travelled."

"Um, okay. Good-bye now, I must finish our thesis or else Mrs. Samantha will get angry."

After the phone call, I got pissed off. I opened the television and it says that the server for the game will open tomorrow. I got excited, well, again.

"Tomorrow, when this game will open, I will prove to her that I came from the future."
