"Yawwwwn"
I stretched as a huge yawn came from my mouth, after hours of gaming and grinding dungeons I was ready to sleep. Looking over to my bedside clock I saw it said 7:35 am.
"Crap!" My tired body moved at the fastest speed it could and I quickly got into my school uniform. It was a dark green blazer, kinda like tree leaves in the summer, and a Snow White shirt. With my trousers on the floor by the door, I rushed out of my bedroom door. Hobbling towards my bathroom while trying to put on my trousers, I had extremely messy black hair that I couldn't be bothered to brush. When I got into the bathroom, I turned the tap on and loud water crashed into the sink; my tooth brush sat next to the toothpaste and I quickly brushed my teeth whilst going downstairs.
"Hi mum", I called to my mum as I grabbed my bag and a piece of toast that was sitting on the table. It was really cold, looks like she made it for me ages ago.
"Bye darling, I'll see you after my shift at the hospital" she said with a gentle smile.
"Okay, see ya" I said with a quick smile as I rushed out of the door that led outside. The sun assaulted my eyes after I had spent an entire night gaming.
After getting on the bus, I walked to the top deck and sat down; jeez I'm tired, I thought as my eyes nearly shut. I put my headphones on and waited for the bus to stop,
"Crap I might miss my stop" I said out loud. Standing up, I took my white headphones off and flew down the stairs and out the bus. The doors were closing behind me and I only just managed to get my bag through.
"Phew, I made it"
Now I had to walk a few hundred metres to school, it wasn't far but with my lack of sleep it felt like miles. I trudged there with my 5 kilo bag and felt extremely worn out when I made it to my class room. After sitting down in the back of the class, I put my books down and slowly drifted to sleep.
"Luke!" My home room teacher shouted, apparently no one woke me up when he came in and start role call. "Not get much sleep I see, well that's your fault. Don't you dare sleep in this class again" he said with a malicious grin on his face, everyone knows that Mr Johnson only became a teacher to make kids suffer. He was evil; according to my upper class men, Mr Johnson gave an entire class detentions because he felt bored. It was so unfair, the school wouldn't even do anything despite the multitude of complaints about him, this was because he was the son of the owner of the school.
Life truly was easy for the lucky. I once heard my dad say that before he passed away. He died when I was only 12, it was about three years ago and I still miss him. Unlike me he was massive and had really light hair. He was a gentle giant who loved me and my mum soo much, that was before cancer got him. We tried so many treatments but none of them worked and I eventually lost him, I guess he is the reason why I'm so into gaming. He used to be a pro gamer and I want to uphold his legacy, I want to make him proud any way I can.
My thoughts were interrupted when the sharp bell ring signalling the start of lessons, I wiped a tear from my eyes and opened my books. Due to the new virus going around, each class was confined to one classroom and teacher. It was soo annoying having the exact same classmates every lesson. None of my friends were in this class so I never talked to anyone, at least my teacher ignored my existence instead of picking on me like Mr Johnson.
For the first two lessons, I slept. It was soo nice being able to sleep finally, the only downside was that I had to wake up. I wish that I could just sleep forever. During break I met up with my friends and told them about my grinding last night, they told me about the different ways I could have done it better so I could get as good as I could for the upcoming game that's coming out soon.
Haven.
It's a new VR game that's unlike all that we've seen before, it is considered to be our second world. Countries have even agreed to hold the world wars in the game, it was mainly just for competition but real winnings could be made. People even believed that in the future our main world would be in Haven as it was so expansive and didn't use electricity to power. None of the people working on Haven disclosed information about how it was made but they said it was about 100 times the size of the Earth and had a monetary system. This meant that in game money could be converted into real money making the game a very lucrative business venture.
The only reason that someone who played pro would log out would be to eat and drink. Entering the game would basically would be sleeping and your body would only require water and food, there was even a time distillation of 1:10 so every minute in reality was 10 in game. This basically meant people who lived in game would be immortal and live in reality for ages. For every year in real life, it would be a decade in game.
After having talked about the game that would be released to the public tomorrow, we had to go back to class. During the next lessons I slept and finally gained enough energy to make it walk back home with my friends.
"Riiiing"
The final bell rang and I walked out of school with my friends, as we were walking and talking about Haven, I dropped my phone and bent down to pick it up. My friends kept on walking without out me sadly, but to my surprise there was a small metallic chip next to my phone. I picked both my phone and the computer chip up and examined the chip.
HAVEN
This was written across it in really small writing, I wore an extremely shocked face and looked over to my friends who were about 20 metres away.
"Hurry up Luke!" My close friend Jake called to me as he turned,
"Look what I found" I called back with complete ecstasy written on my face,I started to run despite my still slightly tired legs.
As I moved closer time seemed to slow and my vision distorted, a small gap thing appeared in front of me. It rapidly grew until it was my size, my friends looked back at me with horror in their eyes, with my speed and closeness to the rip I couldn't stop. I barrelled right into it and felt sharp pain flood my body and my vision went black.
[You have died. Erasing memories]
[Memory wipe failed due to Error:&Β£@"/]
[Pocket Universe Detected: Consciousness being transported into it]
I felt my 'body' being sucked somewhere, despite not actually having a body, I wonder where that's gone.
After a while, colour returned to me and I saw grass and the sky, the ocean and beaches, caves and fields and villages. But then my view sunk through the earth, I could see the grass above me rapidly disappearing and dirt soon filled my vision. After travelling a few thousand miles, I finally saw a clearing. It was filled with lava pools and volcanoes, the ground was pitch black and there were no trees in sight. Ash stuck to the ceiling of the cave and large creatures seemed to hide in the large foggy ash cloud.
Finally my vision entered a lava pit where it eventually stopped and a prompt appeared in front of me.
[Welcome Player You are a blood imp that has been born in the pits of the Upper level of the Dungeon Strata]
Well that kinda makes sense, apart from the whole player and being an imp and dungeon thing.
[Please choose a Name]
I mentally thought of my gamer tag Izroth and a new prompt filled my vision.
[Welcome Izroth to Haven]
