Novel & Cerita Stuck In A Video Game

"Fine, but you have to listen to at least 3 of their songs to list them." "Disturbed, Fall Out Boy, and Green Day. Easy. Favorite video game?" "Probably Skyrim or Apex Legends. I like multiplayer games up to and until I get salty, then I play single-player ones to cool off." "I usually just punch things when I get mad because of video games, that and angry swearing usually helps," I said as the waitress brought me my drink, "Thank you." "That only works for so long, you eventually run out of swears to use or things to punch, either way, it only lasts for so long."

I slid the green button to answer his call. "'sup, Man?," I uttered. "I was bored. Text me when you were home, the next level was launched just now." He started talking about the video game that he was addicted to. I checked my wristwatch. "You can come over now, do some practice for you to beat me this time." I casually uttered. I barely heard his laugh on the other line. "Shut up, man." I never beat him in that game. He was skilled with that game. That was one of his stress relievers. Somehow, I felt guilty. I let out a deep sigh.

Josey offered, standing up and pulling my hand back to where we sat. I couldn't resist. Video games have always been my addiction. My best friend proving the saying, "Old Habits Die Hard."

I had no idea of any of this and I was innocent. "I wanted to kill you but then I thought, why not Zach too?" The evil glint in his eye had me scared. It felt like there was a stampede immediately after that statement. "Boss! We're under attack." The armed dude who had brought in the the briefcase containing the album announced. "The game is just about to begin." He smirked evilly, just as I was roughly dragged up by one of his men. "Hey!" I protested, trying to rip my arm out of his grip. The buff dude's stare was so intimidating, I almost peed in my pants.

, he should have at least told her to corporate till when our contract was over, could he be a scoundrel? Well there are some people in life which one can't understand, you just have to adopt to their crazy and irresistible features. Meanwhile we have 90% of people who seem to suffer a lot , life seem to create them in a sour texture, the rest of the 10% are the people who life seem to. favor a lot, irrespective of their mode of hardwork, they just seem so lucky maybe, I seem to be part of the 90%. In summary I'll say no matter how millions of cars one has, he still has to walk to his room so, no one can tell tomorrow's fortune. Life seem to fickle. I laid on my bed, scrolling through my pho

I went to pull my hand away from the planchette, figuring we’d had enough of this weird game, but it wouldn’t move, stuck there like some invisible glue held it fast, and panic started bubbling up in me mixed with this strange thrill twisting low in my belly, making my pulse race even faster. “Guys, something’s wrong, I can’t stop, my hand won’t come off,” I gasped out, tugging harder but feeling this force keeping it pinned, my arm straining but getting nowhere, sweat breaking out on my forehead as I looked at Lina and Thorne with wide eyes.

The monitors stayed on, their light flickering across my face. I stared at Clarissa’s frozen image on the screen, her car door open, keys in hand. Something deep in me cracked as reality dawned on me. The game I thought I had mastered was now being played without me, and right now, I could do absolutely nothing about it.

One day, while playing, I spotted a glitch. There was always an NPC. He kept getting crushed by falling rocks again and again. Never dodged. If a player pulled him away, he'd walk right back.

He clasped his hands behind his back. “I’ve called this meeting,” Viktor started, “to talk about the games.” Everyone turned their eyes on him. I narrowed my eyes. Viktor had called this meeting? For a brief moment, I wondered if it was to tell the council what I’d done. But Viktor continued. “The games are currently stagnant,” he said. “And we all know that stagnation kills engagement. This isn’t new. We’ve seen it before. Camps form, territories harden, boundaries are drawn. And suddenly we’re watching a waiting game.”

The system snarled. “01:59" Can someone get a break in this game?
