Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Preface.

I affirm that playing video games does not make the user more aggressive, on the contrary it reassures him, de-stressing in a world where you can do whatever you want, play a villain or a hero, be a murderer or a pacifist. Everything that is not possible in reality, prohibited by laws and rules of values ​​and morals, the video game industry makes possible.

I find myself in my room eating potatoes while playing "Dark Souls" a game that was difficult at times but then became easy once you know the patterns of the enemies. I have always loved games because they allow me to enter their world, final fantasy is a great example I love their stories and characters, booldy roar has given me the ability to transform my characters into human beasts to face a titanic battle, yakuza makes me feel like the strongest man of all, call of duty makes me feel like war can end with just one man and that man is me. So with many games, I have played many of them locked in my room for a long time, in my forum on the Internet they challenge me to play games at 100% or in a different mode, such as resident evil 4 with a success rate of 0%, that is, without weapons, then I prepare a video showing my achievements and they comment that such, challenges and challenges are my thing.

Pause the game to get up from my gamer seat, I drag my chair with its wheels to get to my desk where my computer is on. Searching the forum for new updates and reviews of games in this small world, my world, I find the community challenging me to a game recognized for its difficulty.

"Have you heard of Dark world? I would bet you that not even you can complete such a game 100%" Some comments support the opinion commenting on their experiences with the "most difficult game in history" according to them, I don't think that's the case , but you should try it before anything else.

If it really is how they tell a game with that difficulty, it is the challenge I was looking for, finally something to test all my abilities as a player. I copy and paste the name of the game to buy it digitally, in a matter of minutes I have the game on my console and ready to play it.

I turn on and oh it's updating, I have to wait for the download to finish. I quickly get bored of watching the screen as a transparent bar fills up with a green color showing the progress of the download.

-Let's see the comments-. I mumble as I approach the computer once more.

"It's an impossible game to beat. Impossible!" comments one of them, the comments increasingly arouse my interest in trying it.

Once the download is finished, it occurs to me to prepare a coffee using an electric pay in my room, my favorite drink to spend a night of games, I should not get up early and work the next day because this is my job, play video games, score and take care of the forum. At the moment I prepare my holy drink I notice how some meaningless images pass through my mind and an auditory hallucination is present "Kendall" "Kendall!" Who is Kendall? I don't remember any character with that name ... That was weird but I haven't slept in a long time and now I plan to wake up once again with this beloved waking state I am invincible in video games.

A few taps are present on the other side of my door as a warning sign.-Hears! The food is ready brother come eat! - My older brother speaks through the door with a somewhat aggressive tone.

A few taps are present on the other side of my door as a warning sign.

-Hears! The food is ready brother come eat! - My older brother speaks through the door with a somewhat aggressive tone.

-Right away!-. I answer.

Is it time for lunch? I thought it was later ... Oh it's true, sometimes I forget the schedule. I am about to turn off the console with my coffee in one hand without realizing that when I bend down to touch the button I hear those words once again in my mind Kendall !! "Causing me to spill a large part of the drink by carelessness, the liquid it falls into the outlet that quickly responds with an electric current that blows my precious console to pieces.

-Oh shit-. I curse knowing I made a mistake.

My work instrument and my whole life have just exploded, I will have to beg my brother to buy another one of those. Also I just bought the game, I guess game night is canceled. Now that I am not attached to either of the two screens that are masters of my life I can feel my own needs noticing the dream in me, I am more sleepy than hungry, I will go to sleep and I hope my brother leaves the food in the refrigerator and I do not know I ate it thinking it was going to waste your food.

I take off my clothes to cover myself with the sheets but there is something strange ... It is too hot to even cover myself, but it is winter and it is night, it should be very cold. I look around the room and notice that my desk is on fire.

-No no no no.-

My first reaction is to fill a bucket with water and throw it into the burning fire that little by little devours my room making
