Chapter 1 : A New Beginning

Extra note: I did this for fun (And I suck at writing), so don't expect anything good out of it.

It was a cool Saturday night. I was lazily sitting on my gaming chair, playing some FPS games with my friends.

Boom! Headshot!

Boom! Double Kill!

Boom! Triple Kill!

I could hear my friend's excitement about his kill streak over my headset.

Meanwhile on my side...

I was gripping my mouse really hard, my palms were sweating. I violently mashed the spacebar, allowing me to leap onto the building. There was a sniper right in front of me. I slowly took out my AK-47 and aimed it right at his head. 'Oh you're about to get rekt!' I thought. But I was wrong. I instantly pulled the trigger, making a clicking sound, only to realize that i forgot to reload. When he heard that gun clicking sound, he instantly turned his back and aimed his rifle at me. As he pulled the trigger, I did a frontflip and pulled out my pistol, pulled the trigger, and... I missed him. Then I only heard the sound of the bullet piercing through my chest, ripping my organs apart...

Two big red words popped up in front of me: YOU DIED

As my friend noticed that I died, he said,' Aw, come on, do you really suck that bad?'

'Just give me a few more tries.' ,I responded with a unenthusiastic tone.

(insert fail montage here)

'Wow, my accuracy has gotten pretty rusty lately.', I thought to myself.

'If you suck that bad, why don't you play osu?', my friend replied.

'What the hell's an osu?'

'Just go look it up on google.'

So I clicker out of the game window, opened up my browser(which is Chrome, because IE is slow as hell),and searched 'owsuu'.

Wait hold on... let me try again...

...and searched 'osue'.

...and searched 'osu'.

I looked at the first thing that popped up onto my screen. It read,'osu! is a rhythm game where you click circles to th be-' Wait seriously? People actually click circles for fun?

'Ok, first of all, how is this going to improve my accuracy?'

'Just play it!'

'Sigh...Fine.'

I moved my cursor over to the 'Download osu!' button and clicked it.

What popped in front of me was...well...another pink button. Clicking on it, the game started downloading...at 1 kilobits per second... I knew I've should've gotten a better pc.

8 hours later...

'Finally!', I said to myself, while going through the setup process. After sucessfully downloading the game, I opened it up and the first thing I heard were 'welcome to osu!'. I was seriously creeped out by that voice... Sounds like what a ga- Ok I don't want to explain it. Then a big pink circle popped up in front of my eyes. Wait a minute was this game supposed to be for girls or something like that? Sigh... At least the music sounds good. But wait... Where's the start button? I tried to press every button on my keyboard, spacebar, arrow keys, wasd, but all it did was switch the song... Which was the same song.

After violently torturing my keyboard (#StopKeyboardAbuse), I decided to press my mouse buttons to see if that worked. I clicked the left mouse button on the pink circle, which caused it to move slightly to the left and pop out four buttons on the right. They were 'Play', 'Edit, 'Options' and 'Exit'. Well I guess I have no other choice. I aimed my colourful cursor at the 'Play' button (which is a nice touch) and pressed the same button again. This time, it popped up three buttons, 'Solo', 'Multi' and a 'Back' button to leave.

Clicking on the 'Solo' button, it brought me to an array of songs to choose from. I chose a song called 'My Love' and the first things I heard were 'I wanna be your man, your lover and your friend...' Well this is going to be interesting...

I clicked on the song again, and the game finally starts! I was so thrilled only to find out that there are no instructions on how to play the game. Circles and 'worms' popped up on the screen, and I tried every button on my keyboard, but they disappear after a few seconds, leaving a red cross on a screen indicating a miss. I noticed a bar on the top left corner of the screen, the white bar slowly turning red. What does it mean? Soon after, all the circles collapsed, the song distorting, and the screen slowly fading to black.

Two buttons accompanied the darkness. The yellow one says 'Retry', and the red one says 'Back to Menu'. I clicked the red button because what's the point of even trying when I don't know how to play?

Shortly after, I discovered that there was a search bar in the menu, so did what any baka would do, I quickly typed in the word 'tutorial' and what do you know, there actually is a tutorial!

So yeah, blah blah circles, blah blah sliders, and I finally got to the last part!

'And finally, the spinner. When the spinner appears, click and drag your cursor in circles rapidl-' Woah woah woah. What? 'Ok. Now it's your turn!' Wait wait wait I'm not ready!

Looking at the blue wheel thing pop up on the screen, I held my mouse and flung my cursor in random direction and somehow, still, I didn't miss.

'That's it! You're well on your way to become an osu! rhythm champion!' God I hate that voice...

So I tried 'My Love' again, and this time, I finally knew what to do!

I wanna be your man, your lover and your friend

I'm gonna love you too, I'm gonna be the one you come home to

I aimed my cursor at the circles and clicked to the beat, leaving behind traces 100s and 50s, but once I got the hang of it, I started to see some glowing 300s popping up.

After completing the song, the background became slightly brighter, and the results popped u- 'Come on! A 'D'? Okay, I was expecting to have bad results but a D? Sigh… There's no point whining now, it's time to git gud.'

'And become an osu rhythm cham-'

'SHUT UP JASON!'

'Fine sheesh.'

My brother walks out my room, and my eyes were still focused on the big red D… Then I cried myself to sleep.

To be continued or some sh!t like that…
