2024-10-29 19:42:56Hi, my name is Taida Haru but my close friends just call me Haru.
Well, I only have one close friend, in fact, he's my only friend Gabriel Briar. We live in a dorm room together for university.He's the best. He's also super into gaming but has a better social life than mine and if anything he's the only reason I see the sun at all other than school.All I do with myself all day besides study is just play video games. I know it's incredibly unproductive but believe it or not, I like my current lifestyle.I keep in touch with a lot of gamers and streamers my favorite one has to be unentitledghost47 also known as Miku AlvieEveryone knows her but my best friend is obsessed with her."Hey dude guess what." Gabriel burst through my door with a huge grin on his face.I looked at him not responding, trying to process what he just said after being up for 24 hours just playing video games. He walked in and opened the blinds letting all the light in. I quickly covered my eyes. I felt like I was flash banged from a close range. "What the hell man?" The sudden change of light left me blind for a hot second."Good, you're awake," Gabriel said, still grinning from ear to ear. "Guess what?" "I'm gonna need glasses?" "nope." he said with full confidence "you sure?" I said, rubbing my eyes."Positive" "Ok, then what is it?" I could tell he could barely hold in his excitement. "Miku is going to have a live meet and greet right here!" "Right here?" I tilted my head confused as to what he meant. "you mean in this apartment?" Gabriel facepalmed the moment I said those words."No. I mean right In town celebrating GameStop's grand reopening!" Grand reopening it's been years!"Wait what!?" I said, finally getting what he said and quickly standing up."When is it??" "It's tomorrow!"I grinned from ear to ear. I couldn't wait. The two of us were practically squealing at the amount of fanboying we were doing.___In the year 2145 the world has seen a lot of technological advancements but what people were most focused on were not the rockets going to inhabit Mars or the military weapons being built, what we were actually focused on was the evolution of gaming! Vr headsets that give you a complete feel of the game without the clunky controls of 2019-2020 were sweeping the nation. Everyone liked the thought of having a physical body in a game where you can feel pain, enjoy food, you name it!Though out of all the evolution that came out of gaming the ones who evolved the most were the gamers.Nowadays, we refer to gamers as casual players, the content creators and speedrunners of the world we call drifters. They are the best of the best no average or casual player can beat them.I wanna be like that one day, but sadly I never had the time. The only reason I'm In university, to begin with, was to make my mom proud for once, but going to this event will change the entire course of my life!

The game was on. Everyone got separated except for me and Gabriel.Apparently, the whole thing was a battle royal everyone vs her."There's no way we could lose."That's what I thought anyway."" Roi was killed by Unentitledghost47"""""troybultin56 was killed by Unentitledghost47 """"" rian'n'Jamal was killed by Unentitledghost47 ""The list just kept going and going and going.Now once a list of ten thousand ...is now a list of five thousand in seconds.The pressure was on.We were hiding in a tree looking down for Miku so we could have a chance at escaping.Gabriel was just as scared yet excited as I am."So any knowledge of this game?" he asked hoping I played this before and as a matter of fact I did."This game is called universal take over. This is one of the biggest battle royal games to date with 10 different planets and each of them has the map size of an average open-world RPG.""Then how the hell do games even finish with that much space??" "The map shrinks over time. A

We were stuck in that building for hours until the police arrived.Miku pulled them aside away from the line to talk to them about something.I was nervous I might go to jail. I don't know what this is about. I probably touched something I wasn't supposed to and now it's gone??Ugh, my head hurts.Soon enough the officers came up to us. There were only two of them, one looked to be more of a trainee than an actual officer."We're going to check you for stolen equipment so one at a time come up to officer Jerry here and we'll check you."Stolen equipment? who in their right mind would try such a thing?? Well at least I'm fine I didn't steal anything.I walked forward first full of confidence I just wanted to get this over with.They patted me down and felt something. I still didn't budge, it's probably just my phone....NOPE! Of course not, they reached into my pockets and pulled out a tiny chip that people use to mod games."step out of the line sir." I was in disbelief but I liste

It was macaroni and cheese tonight. Gabriel did not join us tonight though he almost threw up at the sight of more cheese. 'heh- serves him right-' I thought to myself"Oh Haru, I didn't know you had a girlfriend." I sunk into my chair when my mom said that both of my palms were against my face."no, I'm not-" Miku tried to explain but my mom just cut her off as she normally does when she's about to hear something she doesn't like."No need to be so modest here have some more

"I'm giving you five seconds!" I shouted from outside, still waiting for her to get out."You're just wasting your breath." I heard her say from the bathroom but I counted anyway."5." "4." "3.""2!!"I heard someone knocking on the door.Now before I go through the whole "I opened the door." type thing imma just say this.You remember that cousin I talked about."Hey.." A tall guy about six feet with black hair and brown eyes."uh...what are you doing here Eli?" I said not wanting to fully open the door."I could ask you the same thing.." He tried speaking through the door but I blocked him."uhh... I was ...suspended ..yeah." I tried to play it off cool but all that effort was ruined when Miku shouted at Gabriel from upstairs."What the hell are you doing??" "uh...""you got friends over?" Eli began to get skeptical..shit... it's only a matter of time until he decides to push through me-"no-" There I saved itThe conversation got quiet between us just blankly staring at each o

I don't know, I'm paranoid.We shared

I asked, trying to start a conversation."Stressful-" He replied, staring onto the street just like me."How about you?" He asked."Same-" i sat on the floor and held my bag close to my chest..i couldn't stand anymore it's been too long!Gabriel copied me and we both just sat there ..waiting."Anyone give you any trouble?" He asked.I looked at him confused. That question came out of nowhere but he seemed to be seriously waiting for an answer."Nah everyone just kept their distance..""Really?" He gave me a look of genuine surprise."What do you mean, really?" I asked, also giving a look of genuine surprise."Well… on your current reputation i would doubt that someone wouldn't trouble you …even after all that-" Gabriel explained..He did have a point bu

You know what's better than video games? …nothing- but you know what's a great thing to do?That's right, it is a nice calm totally non chaotic game of UNO!"Go fish!" Miya said in full confidence, throwing down a red uno reverse card."This isn't go fish-...this is uno-" Eli said for the 15th time in this game."And the card is the wrong color…the card Gabriel placed is a blue 7"He pointed to the card."You need a blue uno reverse card."Miya took a while to process what Eli just said."Gabe, how about you go until Miya figures this out."Gabe nodded and placed a yellow 8.Me and Eli just stared at each other for a hot minute…"Maybe we should try a different game-"You might be wondering why..why gamers like us and a guy like Eli doing? playing board games when we could be playing gta 6?..just kidding, that game will never come out.But to answer your question!The power went out-….."Monopoly!

"Come on please!" Miya started to beg at their knees of Jerry.The whole situation was awkward. It's weird seeing her like this but weirdly entertaining I couldn't get enough."It's not up to me-" Jerry looked at Tom and Miya instantly changed focus."Tom please!!" she puts her hands together and puts her head on the floor.She really wanted this."What's she asking for?" Oli asked from the voice call."Apparently she wants to go out or something I don't know-" Gabriel explained.I nodded in confirmation."The house is crowded and the boys are gross PLEASE!" She continued to beg."That's false and you know it!" me and Gabriel started to protest."Yeah! That house isn't crowded at all!"The room got silent and everyone stared at Gab not saying a word."What?"

The beginning of an origin
Cheering of the crowd can be heard as Miya twiddled her thumbs sitting on the bench waiting for her name to be called.She looked younger than how she looked now .. she looked nervous."And the winner is Toshiro Sato!!!!!" The crowd went wild as the name of this person was announced."Hey there!" Miya flinched when she heard the sound of his voice.When she looked up she saw a tall boy around her age with white hair, cyan eyes and he was wearing a turtleneck hoodie that almost covered his knees."First time?" He asked, sitting down next to her.She nodded while looking at her hands as she trembled with the amount of anxiety she had pent up right now."The next contestants will be on stage shortly!!!" The guy shouted over the intercom hyping the crowd once more.Miya looked up worried about what's going to happen…how would she do when she went up there."Hey.."

"Gabriel!" I shouted running to my partner's side to aid him. He was covered in rocks and dust. I tried to dig him out, throwing all of the rocks to the side.Eventually, it came to a point where he could get up and pick up his axe again."You ok?" I asked giving him one of the trash shields I'd collected."He took half my health-" Gabriel said astonished.That kid was something else…Why are "WE" doing this tournament again?I just want to know… I'm pretty sure this guy can solo us if he wants to."I don't think it would be a good idea to go back there-" Gabriel said, adding the shield to his inventory."For once you make sense-" I said under my breath, agreeing with him.__________Both Miya and Oli were constantly clashing with each other, neither giving the other a chance to breathe."Oh! and a vicious strike from Oli!"

G.F.O
We got hooked up to the game and we were introduced to an open-world game with different classes to choose from the mage, rogue, marksman, etc."Welcome to G.F.O." an AI-generated voice greeted us as we entered the game.We were all spawned in an open field with nothing to do but try something.I picked the mage of course it's the best class out of the others and Miya chose a rogue.Gabriel didn't know who to pick but until he did we just went wild summoning pillars throwing knives and such."I think I'm starting to get the hang of this-" I was stopped in the middle of my sentence by Miya who stabbed me in the chest and I had to respond."Ouch! I actually felt that-"I complained holding my chest as the pain lingered."Just walk it off, don't be a baby," Miya said, putting an arrow into her bow."Now hold still." She aimed for me and shot the arrow in my direction but I ducked and it missed me and hit Gabriel in the forehead."Watch where you're aiming that thing!"I think my life flas
