I was walking around a street twenty minutes away from my home.
This place is where the homeless man I would recruit would be. I always remembered him walking around with a bottle of liquor in his hand, yelling at the imaginary people he saw.
Just like how I remembered the man was in the corner, sitting down with alcohol in his hands, yelling, talking to himself.
I walked up to him with some money in my hands. Handing it to him, the man looked up. He looked into my eyes, and his eyes flew in a purple hue.
"Do you want to be normal? Do you want to become rich? Everything will be yours if you do as I say.
The man nodded, so I continued.
"I need you to come to this address at the time it says. Once you do that, I can promise a better life."
After I let him know, I left the area.
I had some money in me, so I went to grab a bite to eat.
I walked into the local burger place and found some familiar people.
Alessia and Sofia were sitting with two other guys. They had a uniform on that I recognized. It was the school that the last girlfriend I ever had went to.
I was forced to walk by them since they sat right near the entrance. It was awkward because of being able to feel their stares. However, I didn't show that the awkwardness affected me. After all, it would make it even more awkward.
Walking by, I went to go place my order.
After paying, I had to go wait for them to call my number, so I could go pick up the food.
While I was waiting for it, I went on my phone. That's when I suddenly got a call.
"What's up Danny?"
[Wanna come over? Everyone else is already here.]
I had little to do after, so I quickly agreed.
"Sure. Give me like thirty minutes."
Not long after hanging up, I was called to receive my bag of food. I then searched for an empty table and sat down before devouring my food.
The cafeteria at my school sucked. The food they served was cold and nasty, so I sometimes skipped eating.
After a quick ten-minute meal, I walked out of the store.
I didn't greet or say anything to the girls because I didn't want to interrupt them. They were laughing and smiling at certain times, and I didn't want to disturb kids having fun.
However, I felt the stares at my back when I left the store.

I arrived at Danny's place around twenty-five minutes after leaving the restaurant.
Once I got there, I knocked on the door. What greeted me was the excited Danny. He dragged me into the house and to the living room, where everyone else was sitting. Either on the couch or on the floor in front of it.
We greeted each other before I sat down on the ground, watching Avesh and Josh play against each other in a shooting game.
Time went by and before I knew it, the sun went down and it was already dark. Luckily enough, I lived close to Danny. Only about a ten-minute walk. So, I left after saying a quick goodbye. I had something I wanted to add to my fights. I only realized how good of an idea it would be after playing an RPG game.
The items I wanted to buy were two masks. Not full-face ones, but ones that only cover half their face.
Could you imagine two grown men beating the shit out of each other in masks? It would go viral. Plus, it would be real. Unlike those fake wrestlers. I was extremely excited. I couldn't wait for Friday.
I had already prepared myself for a slow start, but I knew once it got some attention, there would only be upward.
When I got home, I washed up and ate something before shutting myself in my room. I looked at the costume place I bought my costume at and searched for funny masks. None were funny, but I found some cute animal ones. A panda and a fox. I already knew which mask was going to who.
With a laugh, I left my computer and called it a night.

It was Thursday and the day after.
Once school let us out, I bolted to the costume store. It took a while because of the traffic, but while on the ride, I let my mind rest. School was mentally exhausting. I had asked my computer teacher how to stream on it and he quickly showed me a link that was like the popular streaming site, Twitch. On top of that, I 'asked' if the teacher could let me surf the deep web. He apparently had a 'key' that let him access it.
However, like it was destiny to not see it, I was forced to reschedule for tomorrow. It pissed me off, but surprisingly, the one who interrupted us wasn't the same girl that always did in the past.
Luckily, before leaving, I managed to 'ask' the teacher to make me a poster for the fight club. 'Hopefully, I could post it by tonight.'
After arriving at the store, I picked up the masks and left for home.
I didn't have time to stay out too long. I had something I wanted to do. Go through the dark web at my pace.
I had been interrupted too many times at school. If I wanted to learn more, I would have to do my own research.
That's why, when I got home, I opened my laptop and started surfing the dark web.
The dark web was amazing, exciting, and all the above. It was like a new toy you would get when you were a toddler. You couldn't help but play with it for hours.
I had hours to look through everything.
I found drugs, weapons, assassins, and even prostitutes. Were they actually prostitutes or were they more slaves? I didn't know. But I knew I shouldn't get into that category. Just seeing that category made my stomach churn.
Other things I found were posts for events like sex parties, and other various things you wouldn't see on the actual internet.
Overall, I spent over two hours switching between links and categories. It was fascinating how there could be such a hidden place for so many illegal things. I couldn't even imagine what the deep web looked like. I was shaking from excitement just thinking about all the interesting things I would soon find out.
I then checked my email. Surely enough, my computers teacher sent me a pdf of a fight club poster. It was all black with a jester in a black and purple costume bowing. Behind him were white silhouettes in a fighting position. The title read 'Jesters Fight Club.' There was also a date at the very bottom and a link reading 'Every Friday at 11 pm, and 'www.killstream.com'
I was impatient and created a post. Once I posted it, I jumped on my bed.
'Finally. Just one more day until the fight.'
