New Jersey, USA 3015 Michellion's Virtual Game Shop A long queue snaked in front of a virtual game shop run by a woman named Rachel. On the other side of the store, two security men were trying to separate two teenagers who had started fighting due to the jostling. Everyone was desperate to get their hands on the newest virtual game called " ActivatedLand," and wanted to take it home as soon as possible. Inside the store, Alice was standing by the window while occasionally tiptoeing to get a better view of her surroundings. "Alice, I can't stand this crowd. My breath is short and the air is so hot. I'm gonna get out of here first. I can't stand it anymore!" Chloe complained as she pushed her way through the crowd. This was the day ActivatedLand was heavily discounted. This discount would not happen every day. Each store in the country region had only one opportunity to open this discount event, and it only lasted for one year. What teenager could resist the chance to buy a popular
After returning home, Alice quickly locked the door to her room and excitedly hopped into bed, turning on her Xbox. As soon as it was switched on, she felt herself being sucked into the game and suddenly found herself in an unfamiliar forest. A hologram of an adult woman appeared before her. "Hello, Player! Welcome to the Death Game. Please set your name and your password." Another hologram then materialized between them. "We also need your fingerprints and we will take your biometric authentication for security. All your data will be safe without third parties knowing." Alice typed in her name and password into the holographic square in front of her. The hologram also performed an iris scan for identification. “Thank you so much, Alice Haley. My name is Megan. I am an AI created by The Hidemask to perfect this game. If you ever need help or have any questions, just call my name. I'd be more than happy to assist you.” "Just like the human world, the Death Game has vast, beautiful,
Alice woke up with a sharp pain in her head that made her cry out in pain. As the pain subsided, she realized she was in a simple bamboo house. Alice looked around; the 4 by 5-meter room was decorated with simple items made from natural materials and neatly arranged. Alice slowly got up and walked out of the room. The same view she got when she looked outside the larger room, but the difference was that in front of her was a kitchen. Simple kitchen utensils made of stone, bamboo, wood, and clay were neatly arranged. But her attention was focused on one thing, namely the food ingredients arranged on a wooden table that had been cut into pieces. As if someone was cooking. Alice looked around, but she couldn't find anyone. "Hello! Is anybody here?" Nobody answered her. "Oh my God, where am I?" Alice grumbled while sitting by the burning stove. A clay pot filled with water was burning on top of it, giving off a delicious puff of smoke that made her stomach growl. Alice was very hungry a
Alice fell into a standing position with her legs holding her up. The teleportation circle had brought her to the front of a small bar called Santa Monteza. She had also put on the clothes she had chosen the first time. "Where am I?" Alice pressed her left arm and a virtual map appeared. "El-Paso, Mexico?" Alice was shocked! She didn't expect that she would teleport this far. As she looked around, she found nothing strange. Just people going about their normal activities just like in the real world. Alice walked into the bar. She went to the order table. "Hello, little ladies. What's your order?" said the big old man who was bartending. "May I get a tequila?" "Sure! Take a seat. I will make one for you." Alice honestly had no money at all. She was at a loss as to how she was going to pay him. But even more confusing was what would happen to her next. "Here you go, girl!" said the fat man as he handed her a glass of tequila. "Thanks." Alice drank the tequila in one gulp. It
Alice walked out of the cave leaving Matias and Mr. Diaz, the old blacksmith. Matias couldn't take her to where the wolves were, because no one knew for sure where they were hiding. However, Father Santiago managed to draw a map the night before he was found dead with his internal organs bursting out. All the villagers believed that Father drew the map for a reason. This is because Sister Anne saw Father praying for several nights in the church basement without stopping. Father also dreamed several times of a travel route that led him to a place where the Lycan horde was located. The hot weather made Alice stop her journey several times. Unfortunately, she had no proper place to take shelter. Thankfully, after a long journey, she saw a forest area. The map line was heading that way! Alice smiled excitedly. Soon, she would leave that cursed place. Or maybe a little longer. There was only a quarter of water in her bottle. She hoped that she could find a river or spring in the forest la
"Did you come here by yourself?" asked Nephilim as he ate the roasted partridge. The giant ate the partridge with gusto. "Yeah," answered Alice. Nephilim turned to Alice, "I think you have good skills. Why don't we form a team and hunt together? Partridges run very fast, it's not easy to kill alone." Alice looked up to stare at Nephilim's face. He was a nice giant, but quite aggressive. With his large body and long strides, it would not be difficult for him to subdue the game. "Alright. I agree." Alice threw the chicken bone in her hand, "Do you know the animal language?" " Of course." "Try calling them out!" Nephilim took a deep breath and made a sound similar to that of a trumpet. But the sound it made was so much louder that it made Alice cover her ears. Shortly after, several birds flew above them. "Whoa! You're amazing." Nephilim smiled, "Thank you." "Why don't you use your skills to catch partridges? You can easily hunt other animals too." "Unfortunately, my voice can
Alice woke up when she heard a growl quite close to her ear. Slowly her eyes caught sight of a large wolf. Suddenly it made Alice flinch and move backwards. "Stay away from me!" The gray-furred wolf stared even more intently at Alice while baring his fangs. His red eyes looked at Alice with hatred. Saliva dripped with every step as it got closer to Alice. Realizing that her position was in danger, Alice immediately stood up and pulled out the sword at her waist. The silver sword was given to her by Matias. "I dare you, asshole!" The wolf seemed to be challenged, he let out a long howl and then ran quickly to pounce on Alice. But Alice who was skillful was soon able to quickly dodge her. But he did not give up. He turned around and attacked a second time. Alice swings her sword and successfully cuts the wolf's chest. Flaming blue blood poured out of its body. The wolf howled in pain. NO! That was not a howl of pain. But it was calling out to his pack. Alice immediately approache
"What's going on?" Jean showed a small pack of white powder in his hand. "Heroin," Jean said. "What?" Caesar doesn't believe. "This girl looks for her." How can girls who are still in school use heroin? "Where do you get this thing?" Jean said while showing objects in his hand. The girl was still silent and instead looked away. "I said, where do you get this?!" Jean began to be angry. The girl in front of him glanced with a feeling of fear. "From my friend." "Who?" "Alebra from the twelfth grade." "Show me!" Jean took over the girl, holding his right hand. "You forward to my investigation, I'll be looking for a child named Aldebra."
