In a dark room, somewhere in Germany, you hear a click, then the sound of turbines and a blue squared light appears, and a second one, followed by a third and a fourth one. Then, in the dark, you hear another click and a lamp turns on. It's not too bright, but enough to see the entire room now.
"And here we go again."
The boy, who is inside the room, says as he sits down on his chair in front of his total four Screens. The boy was Tatu. A blond guy, 17 Years old, 1,84 meter tall and weigh about 70 kilograms, Programmer. Oh, and he has an IQ of 144, even if he doesn't show it off to such a degree, that you could say he isn't using it. However, he is using it for game development. In the 10th grade, with Germany's system of getting the A-Levels in 12 Years.
"Since I just finished eating, I can go straight into developing again."
He is participating in a Game Jam, a contest where you program a game in a set amount of time. The Game Jam is about to end, so he does some final polishing.
"Hell Yeah! I've finished on time! Let's check out some of the other games...There sure are much this time...hu?!"
[Do you want to live in a more interesting world?]
"What a strange name for a game. Let's try it out"
[80%]
[90%]
[99%]
[100%]
"It finished installing. Let's start the game."
[Do you agree to the following terms?]
[1. Don't tell anyone "Ingame" that you are]
[2. Make sure you're wearing all the clothes you need]
[3. You will never return to this life]
"What strange conditions are these? Especially the third one...Do they mean the game will be so fascinating that I don't want to stop playing? This sure is strange, but would possibly happen? I start my protection program, just to be sure...Now let's agree and start playing already."
A relatively high voice starts speaking.
"Thank you for agreeing to all the terms."
"Impressive, voice acting too."
Everything in front of him suddenly becomes black, pure black, like no light, is there at all.
"Hu? A power cut? Is it because of the game? That can't be...Why am I'm feeling a little dizzy? What is this? Am I getting unconscio..."
■■■
In a giant city, on a wide walkway. A few people standing in a circle, all looking down at something or someone in their center. A person is laying there on the ground. It is Tatu, unconscious.
"What's going on?"
"Why got he unconscious?"
"Did anyone saw what happened?"
"I hadn't even noticed him until now."
"Me too."
"Me as well."
A man, slightly above 20, who notices the turmoil and talking of the people standing around in a circle, steps into the circle and looks down at Tatu asking.
"Why aren't you guys helping him? At least get him off the ground"
"Oh sorry, it was just so, weird at first"
"It's fine. As I can tell, he isn't hurt or something like that. I will take him for now. Please, someone, help me get him up"
So one of the people standing around helped the man getting Tatu up so one of his arms lays around his neck that the man could take Tatu with him.
■■■
The darkness vanishes as Tatu opens his eyes looking at the ceiling. Nonetheless, he doesn't say something rather than thinking about it.
``What happened? Where am I right now? This ceiling, I don't recognize it at all... I just can remember that I started the game but after this everything is gone...Am I in a hospital?´´
Then a voice interrupts his thoughts. It is the man from earlier.
"Oh, you finally are awake"
Tatu sits up and looks at the guy sitting next to him. He surely looks a bit strange especially his clothes.
"Who are you and more important where am I?"
"I am Kuto, but who are you?"
"I am Tatu."
"So Tatu is your name. What happened?"
"I-I don't really know. But where am I now?"
"You are in Felicis"
"Felicis?"
"You don't know? That is strange. Especially at your age...However, are you feeling better now?"
``I should know?... In which country am I please?´´
"Yes, I am feeling better now"
"That's good. Can you stand up and walk?"
Tatu stands up from the bed he was laying in. He got no problem at all.
"I think this means I can."
"So you aren't badly hurt...May want to go on a little walk outside? It could help since the air is a bit better and walking after sleeping so long isn't bad either."
"Than I would take this offer."
■■■
Now on the streets, both of them are walking and Tatu looks around.
``I am certain that I don't know this place. But where am I´´
"So you don't come from here? Then you must have come to participate in the magic lessons."
"Magic?!"
"Whats are you so surprised off? Everyone in the world has and know about it"
"Oh yeah. I just remind it..."
``Magic? Does that mean?!´´
He looks around, more than before.
``These buildings, I haven't such and these clothes everyone is wearing...Am I really...In another world?! Is it because of this game? I can't tell...I think this phrase is really fitting now.´´
"This world really is a buggy place."
