Dark clouds gathered in the sky as the cries of birds could be heard from a distance. It felt especially creepy and the whole forest was quiet. Yet in all the bizarre conditions,was a thin woman walking feebly.
Her face was filled with helplessness and despair,still her eyes held hope. It was unclear what her motives were or what she thought off.
Her eyes stared into the void and her steps didn't falter, the sky grew darker and even the cries of birds had stopped. Now everything was quiet, a little too quiet.
At the bottom of a tree, the woman had decided to take a rest, she had been walking for days now and could still not reach her destination.
As she thought of the time left, one could see the light in her eyes dimming.
Wahhhhh..... The abrupt cry of a baby broke the silence in the forest and the reverie of the lady.
A little surprised and worried, the woman moved her trembling hands, unwrapping the thick cloth bounded to her chest. Looking at the baby's flushed face. One could visibly see her trembling increase.
If one paid no extra attention to her,no one would notice the extra human on her.
Standing up unstably, she staggered backward, finding her footing, she continued her journey walking forward not looking back.
Countless eyes opened behind her, gazing at her back as she continued walking, soon she was out of sight but the gazes still lingered.
Before she had started this journey, her master had told her to never regret her decision and to never turn back.
Biting her lips, with vacant eyes that held only a little hope, she walked..'Did she regret it?'.
Feeling the cold increasing as the forest grew darker, a little weary she wrapped up the baby which had somehow, somewhere stopped crying.
Staring forward, she suddenly stopped walking.. looking upward, all she could see were dark clouds, signifying a storm was coming and it front of her was an endless pathway of trees... The whole forest felt like a maze..' she didn't know if she regretted it's, but she had even more limited choices now.
....
In a place billions of light years away.
" It's finally time, I can't believe it" one of the boys shouted.
They were three and he seemed to be the youngest, "hehe, you are finally going to hatch that legendary pet" the slightly taller boy spoke as his left hand rubbed the shorter boy's head. One could infer that he was left handed.
If it had been any other day Fu Xing might've taken an offense to being patted on the head.
Today was the day that his legendary pet hatches, TUB was a famous game were players tamed beasts and these beasts could be used for anything.
They could be used in arenas,war, sports anything that wasn't incorporated into TUB didn't exist.
Fu Xing had started playing TUB Taming Universal Betas when he was 12 and had immediately gotten a legendary pet from a lucky draw.
That was a legendary pet, unlike other games, there were only seven legendary pets in TUB and only two had been seen. One was the All insight parrot belonging to the number one ranker, the latter was the jaw dropping Alligator belonging to two clans, the Fei and Wu sword clans.
These two clans could only cooperate so that other clans wouldn't be able to get any advantage over them.
So imagine what it was like to hear a little boy much less a new player had gotten a legendary pet from a lottery draw.
The players of TUB went crazy and the lottery draw was spammed everyday, still no one actually created another miracle.
Despite their powers, legendary pets were rare and even more so harder to hatch. It has been five years since then and two more legendary pet had been found.
Fu Xing's pet however has still been inactive, the players could only say, either it was a defect or the real deal.
Of course few players wanted it to be the latter... Leaving his two senpai, Fu Xing found an empty computer in the cafe as he logged into his game. Looking at the seconds counting down excitedly Fu Xing held his breath, just then the screen lights went out.
"Huh" ... looking at the dark screen in front of him, Fu Xing was stumped.
Standing up, Fu Xing could see that only his screen was switched off, walking towards the counter.
Looking at the Internet cafe owner, it was a short chubby man, after explaining his situation he was shown the power source and his computer's number, so he could apply the backup power supply and the reason he had to do it himself was
Only the chubby owner was around and business was pretty intense now, he only had enough time to show him were the power source was and what to do before leaving in a hurry.
Slightly dumbfounded, Fu Xing could only search for his computer number..."103,104...107,108,109...111... there 117" moving his hand to turn on the back up power supply at the side, Fu Xing felt a jolt through his body, eyes wide opened his body fell backward unconscious "huh!! Once again highly dumbfounded.
It's been over two hours now, both boys who had come in with Fu Xing stopped waiting and walked towards the counter. The older one was called Zun Yi and the left handed boy from earlier was called Mo Wen.
They had just finished a joint tournament and had decided to take a break, Mo Wen wanted to bring Fu Xing along with them and .maybe get to see if his legendary pet had hatched yet.
They had been searching the Internet cafe for about ten minutes now and one could see that the place wasn't that big, uneasy they went to the owner.
Listening to their explanation, the short chubby owner nodded his head, his name was Fatty Su and the BaiBai Internet cafe belongs to his older sister. Today was actually his first time working here, too bad the previous stand in owner had immediately ran away after given him some instructions.
'What should I do in this sort of situation? Help!' invisible tears fell down fatty Su's chubby cheeks.
