Changed Video Game Novels & Stories

they said and left. Honestly that could have been a disaster, and to be honest I'm more concerned about the things they said. Why are they concerned about killers being killed? "There's definitely something wrong going on with this game. I really don't see the real purpose of it. If they want to eliminate us, it would have been better for a slaughter to occur, some participants are now also too concerned about the undisputed killings happening during the game." "I could see that the ones being assigned as killers are slowly getting less barbaric as they were a few days ago. There's not even much chase going around, and now it's more prevalent to see organized hunts being conducted."

At least Zain had been up front that this was a favor to Andrea, his wife, and the video game company she worked for. Andrea was one of the lead programmers for the Drudge video games. Drudge was one of the most popular, multi-platform video games on the market. Even Silas had played it. And Ekko Kaur was a prominent on-line celebrity connected to the game. The way Silas understood it, people subscribed to Ekko's on-line accounts to watch her play and talk about the games. She was even a sponsored celebrity with endorsements from the game, her computer manufacturer, even down to the make-up and clothes she wore while on camera. And so far it seemed like she lived on camera. If they weren't i

Hamdi and I sat in his room, playing PS5 games for hours, completely unaware of how much time had passed. It felt just like the old days, back when everything was still normal. I didn’t end up smacking Hamdi on the head like I had planned when I walked in. As soon as I saw him playing games, I forgot all about it. I’m a sucker for video games, so any irritation I felt faded away the moment I saw the screen.

I openly disagree with Max, flipping through my law book this time 'round, not really paying any attention to what I'm reading, "she's hotter." I really should be studying. If I fail, it's on Bell and Max. Bell swats me on the chest, now enraged. "Screw you guys," she frowns before switching on the TV in an attempt to distract herself from the situation. She ends up on the sports channel, the channel Max usually watches. "O.M.G.! That's BroJay's car!" Troy shouts in giddiness, deafening me in the process. "Because it is Jay driving it," I answer casually, used to seeing him race on TV. He's making quite the name for himself. As far as I know, he's been in Formula 1 for the last year or so.

The sight of him knocks the air right out of me. I stare. Frozen. His mouth moves, and his voice echoes through the room. “I am officially putting the Mate Games on hold,” he says. “Effective immediately.” There’s a ripple of gasps and confusion in the bar. Some girl near the front makes a sharp noise, half-disbelief, half-anger. But I barely hear her. I’m too busy watching him.

I needed this and I was going to make the most out of it. Calling Rhea and Veronica to join me in a toast, I poured three shots and passed it to them. “To freedom!” we all cheered and drank. The song ‘Up’ by Cardi B came on and we felt the urge to dance. Nodding to ourselves, Veronica grabbed Connor who gladly came with her while Rhea grabbed a random blonde-haired guy. Since Levi was nowhere to be found, I slipped in between Caleb’s conversation with an unknown girl. “Wanna dance? Cuz….I wanna dance.” I slurred a bit.

I plucked the phone from her hand, narrowed my eyes at the video playing. Good visuals, futuristic music, narration that promised a revolution—Percy’s company was unveiling some kind of brain–computer interface technology. The comment section scrolled at the bottom of the screen, filled with gasps of awe and praise. My lips twisted. I chuckled. Then the chuckle grew into laughter—loud laughter.

Sophia informed, which got James totally marveled. "Another room?" James asked, looking around. "Yes," Sophia replied and started leading him to a vast wall at the end of the room. She placed her hand on a switch there and it opened. James got to see another room full of the latest video games. Ranging from the latest 3D games to the latest P5 games. James lacked words to say. It wasn't because he had no such things in his father's mansion, but seeing his mother doing everything to make him happy made him speechless, and he sees Sofia in another dimension different from what he had believed for so many years.

Triffany couldn't help but scoff. "You're not concern about getting a job, what's your secret, you don't have to hide it from us," Triffany told him curious about what his plans for the future would be. "Video games," Nick said casually without looking at her. Triffany was confused. "Video games is not a company or a job." "Yes, it's a game." "You did not study for four years to play a game," Triffany told him. She was scared that she can't find a job and now her cousin too would be hopeless just playing a game all his life.

I reply to him nervously, and he rolls his eyes as he turns his face away. "Uhm... Do you want to play video games? The loser will buy lunch for the winner," I don't know what suddenly came over me and I blurt out before I can control myself. When the hell did we get so close that I want to play video games with him? I must've lost my mind. "I'm not interested. Those games are for kids," He utters as he stands up and walks away, not sparing me another glance. Wait a minute! Did he just say that?
