March twenty-two, twenty thirty-five will be a day to remember. My birthday or also
known as the day when the world got sucked into a never-ending game. It all started at my
house. I was trying to get a hold of my friend Clayton, the CEO of one of the top five largest
gaming companies. He had sent me their new Vr full-body drives that they had made with four
suits. I was waiting for him to join me as it said on the package. Me and Clayton have known
each other for a very long time in fact.
It was in the middle of third grade we were in Marceline elementary school together. The
school was school and at that time we didn't know what our lives were going to turn out to be
after school. We hung out a lot together until I moved in the seventh grade. We talked and played
together viva console for several years. After high school when he went off to a tech school for
programming and me to automotive. Luckily we lived near that school, Grand River Technical
School. That's where his career took off.
I was trying to get a hold of him with no luck.
RIng...Ring...Ring. The person you are trying to call does not have a set-up voicemail
box.
Come on Clayton don't you remember what today is. I said.
I had called him twice and sent him some messages.
It was an amazing four completely suspended bodysuits with Vr controls. Once I installed
it already had an update. It was to link up all four suits to the system. But I have nobody to play
with, and I have four full-body dive seats. With Clayton not responding and my wife and child
out of the house.
I would be with my family but they're at her mom's getting a little party ready for me. My
wife's name is Tiffany and I got married on the eighth of March twenty-twenty. We also have a
daughter named Leona. She was born on December twenty-third twenty nineteen. Also, a son
named after me and my mom's dad Matthew was born on June twenty-third twenty twenty-six.
Then all of a sudden my phone went off and it was my friend Max. Max was a new
student. He moved here around the end of fourth grade. He was like Clayton but more monotone
or bland sort of way. He was great at games even did a little coding on some stuff. Short skit kind
of stuff nothing major. We all graduated from school in the same year too. But Max had gotten a
scholarship to a much larger college. But we stayed connected online to see how each other were
doing. Also with him was Jim. He was Max's friend from the school he moved from. He also
ended up coming to our school in the fifth grade while we were in sixth. Their school ended up
closing because of how small it was so they moved to our school.
Hey, Matthew, it's me, Max.
What are you doing right now? They asked.
Celebrating my thirty-fifth birthday, what are you doing?
Look out the window.
Ok, what am I looking for?
Down here.
In front of the lobby, the door was a nice blacked-out stretched hummer. Both Max and
Jim, my friends were waiting for me.
Hey Matthew. Jim said.
What's all this?
Hurry up we still got more people to pick up.
Jim come on we don't need to explain it all and spoil the fun. Max said.
I know I wasn't going to.
Come on let's get going you two.
We went off to a gym where Axe and Brad were two more of our friends. Axe is one of
Jim's friends that played on our wrestling team and football in the seventh grade. Brad was also
on the football team but at the school, I moved to for the eighth grade in Southwest High school.
I also did some sports as well. I was in track and field as well as baseball. I heard that they broke
a few records as well.
What are we going to do now?
Just wait and see.
We hit up the local bowling place and did a few games. It was three on two Jim wasn't
isn't a bowler so Axe and I had to make up for it. Then went to their arcade room. We all went
rounds on their air hockey than to the two-player games. Like the one made from the movie
TERMINATOR. We finally game all those out the way then it was time to see who could win the
most tickets to get the best prize. I personally went to the skee ball first. I always liked that game.
It was a little competition to see who could get the highest score and stay playing the longest
before getting knocked out. But this is a competition to see you can get the most tickets. Luckily
this place had a coin launcher game where you put a coin in. Then a ramp will send it into a
spinning backboard and depending on if it went through and where. It would give you that
amount of tickets and I was very good at timing it. But even so, Max had started way before we
did after the tournament. We counted it up to Max with eight hundred three, I had five hundred
thirty-two, Brad with four hundred forty-five, and Jim with three hundred ninety-eight. Axe had
only two hundred eight because he used most of his coins on air hockey. We returned to my
house to try out the new gaming system.
Wow Matthew this new gaming Vr drive system is beyond what I thought it would have
been.
I know I only got four suits though someones going to have to sit this time out.
Being it my birthday I get the first suit you four fight it out.
They began a game of rock, paper, and scissors to find out the winner.
The first-round winner was Captain Jim Bob he took the next suit. Then came Max and
then Axe so the loser was Brad.
That ok I don't mind not really into the whole Vr thing it kills my nerves.
I had that idea because you normally beat us at that.
Ha, guess I can't fool you, and yeah you bet.
Get into your suits and I'll start the game.
Three..two..one...System start…, white was all I saw as a woman's voice started to talk.
Account recognized auto-updating to body scan…
Scan complete body use master skin.
Welcome, Matthew if you are hearing this then it has begun. The beginning of your true
Journey through the dangerous and long-lasting battle for the world!
I was in a limbo-like state; it was blindingly white as my body was being held suspended.
Her voice with emergency spoke of the game's intro as if this was an all-or-nothing
mission.
You are a hero like no other before or has ever been written or told about. The leader of
the armies that will travel through the realms to save the world. Monsters of all sizes and levels
will stand before your path. You must overcome them and villains with the strength of whole
nations, no the world together will try to stop you. You must overcome it with the help of your friends and the rest of the world at your command. Some who have been dealt a deadly blow and
taken from you. You must find them before it is too late. First to find Clayton who has been
defeated by an AI that has taken control of the game. To do this you must complete each map to
gain his attention and defeat him in combat. This will not be easy but best of luck to you.
That is quite the intro there and he put himself in here as well? I wonder if anyone can
hear me now?
Can anybody hear me? I asked.
Yeah, we can hear you, can you hear us? They asked.
Loud and clear.
Hold on something's happening is it starting. Jim asked.
All of a sudden the title appeared.
GET OUT OF THE GAME!
How did you all like the intro to the game really cool right?
I guess it was short or I accidentally skipped it.
No, it was the same for us two what about you Matthew?
It was an okay amount of time.
That quite the title if I say so kind of scary though makes me think I will get trapped in
here.
Looks like three option campaign will have only one player of course. There is
multiplayer which we will be playing against each other being this is the only game out there yet.
Then there are of course all-time favorite zombies which we have to try out.
Matthew, what do you think the zombies will be like?
Well, Jim if it's any help Clayton was the one to make this.
What do you mean how could he make this while he's been on vacation for the past two
and half years.
Well, I guess he had his company make it for me.
"I didn't know he was on vacation," I said to myself.
That makes sense; his company did just land the top five worldwide.
So zombies?
Yeah makes sense because we are the first people to play this.
Ok, let us go.
Welcome to the zombie's armory.
Woah that was like instant transmission no load time at all but where are the others at I
don't see them. There are three armor walls with nothing on them and I can't access the change
lever and a door that says owner only.
Access denied.
Weird I can use none of the three armories stands out here and there empty as well are we
supposed to use our fist?
There's stuff for me. Max said.
Look, our names are above them as well, maybe only we can use them then.
What when did they.., none say me then I don't see a fourth but there is a vault door over
here that says owner but that would be Clayton.
