Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story except some of the main characters.
A/N: This story is meant to be played out in a virtual world. As such, there are lots of familiar characters and that's why it doesn't fit into one category. Again, take note that most characters arent mine. And now without further ado...
Player Killer
Prologue
"...A-R-I. Kentari," I yawned. It was 3 am, and I just nemed my character. I saved and turned the game off, then a soft tune rang from on my bed. I crawled out of a large chamber and answered. "Hello?" I groaned.
"Whassup, Kiriyu?" My friend Rico shouted at me brightly.
"Not me," I said groggily, "I just restarted Final Fantasy VII. I need some sleep."
The phone at the other end moved about and another voice appeared.
"What's going on?" He yelled loudly.
"Ryu, Rico," I said, "I need to sleep. See ya tomorrow."
I hung up and took the visor off my forehead and removed my electromagnetic suit. I looked down at the suit and noticed how far games had come. Before, everything was console-based. Now, it was virtual reality and much more realistic. Everything's controlled by an electromagnetic suit in a containment chamber and is viewed through a visor. These major memory-consuming games are saved on a backside-loading cartrige called a Memory Hex. I continued to reflect on it by myself until I fell asleep.
