Another One
You stretched your arms and yawned. You look into your surroundings and saw tables in an arrangement with one table different than the others sitting at the front with a whiteboard hanging behind it. There were some people wearing brown, some sitting or leaning by the table talking to each other. You clear up your mind and remembered you were in school. You yawned again and stood up grabbing your bag sitting beside your table. You fixed your crooked tie and head outside the classroom into the busy hallway. There were dozens of students walking through the hallway, so much that you can't even find a way to get into the traffic of humans. You took your chance and jumped into a gap almost shoving someone over. You didn't look who you almost fell into and continued walking down the hallway into the staircase. You managed to get out from the crowd and went to the staircase and out through the doorway. The orange sunlight shone down on you and the other students. You had to block the sunlight from your eyes and finally your eyes adjust to the brightness. You walked to the front gates and stared into the streets. It was so empty, not like the hallway you just went through. You turned your head around and was a huge building with other buildings serving different purposes lies in the background. The main building was the largest, the others was about half of it but still the total land area of the school was massive. It was about as large as Dubai Airport.
You shrugged and turned your head back to the streets and started walking down the road. It was uneventful, but this was expected since the country has enforced about 80% of the nation's criminals. There used to be riots and fights here and there but since the new president came into power, the country finally meet peace for once. You then arrived at your house after walking for about 8 minutes and unlocked the door. You entered and threw your bag onto the table surrounded by couches. You quickly went upstairs into your room and changed your clothes into your casual ones. You now wore a hoodie with a black to dark blue and back to black gradient, black trousers and black sneakers with a little bit much more white than usual. You sat on your chair and turned on your beast PC sitting on a table. The lock screen shows up on the monitor. The picture of the band members in a photoshoot show up and slides up as you click. You type in the password and your PC loads. Your desktop appeared and loads of applications follows. You hover your cursor on different applications thinking of what to play or do. You stopped as your cursor highlights 'S.T.A.L.K.E.R : Shadow of Chernobyl'. You double clicked the app and it launches.
4 hours have passed while you play 'S.T.A.L.K.E.R : Shadow of Chernobyl'. You had fun exterminating mutants and shooting up bandits shouting out the words of 'cheeki breeki' and saying various vulgar words in Russian. You sit back and grabbed your butterfly knife. As you were about to go for a flip, a notification appeared on your desktop from your antivirus application. You leaned in and clicked on the notification and a window showed up saying that Minecraft was infected. You almost flinched that your childhood game was infected and is now carrying a malicious software capable to destroy your value able PC. You quickly pressed the 'contaminate' button and sighed. But then, your screen freezes. You tried moving your cursor but it won't move. You clicked a couple of times until a series of black stripes appeared blocking your screen. "Oh fuck no.." you muttered as your jaw drop in disbelief. "Do you know how much time, money, and effort I put into this PC?!" you started shouting in anger. You slammed the table and sat down on the chair trying to calm down. "It's ok, I can just ask for help in the PC store and it will probably be ok." You say to yourself. You look back in to the monitor and saw a white circle forming and turning bigger almost covering the whole screen. In a brief moment, you saw a bright flash and somehow blacked out. You felt limbs taking you up and into somewhere with cramped space. You then feel like falling from great heights into an abyss of darkness.
You woke up but your eyes were blinded by the bright sunlight that shone on you and your surroundings. You block the sunlight with your hands and stood up. Your eyes once again adjust to the brightness and was shocked upon what was seen next. A boxy land, no blocky would be much better. The pile of dirt blocks in front of you was shaped like a hill with the dirt looking like blocks. What's weirder is that the texture of this 'dirt' was similar of a minecraft dirt block. You can't help it but theorize that you are in fact in Minecraft, the game. You dropped your jaws once again in disbelief. You shook your head and tried to proof if you were really in Minecraft. To your right was a tree, a blocky one obviously. You walked up to it and decided to punch it, surely a good way to start a Minecraft world. You pull your fist back and readied to punch the tree but at the same time ready to regret if it turned out to be painful. You closed your eyes and bit your lips and launched your fist into the block of wood. You open your eyes and sighed in relief that it didn't feel anything. You grabbed your chest and started panting and looked back at the tree. The block you punched was seem to be cracked, just like in Minecraft. You pulled back your fist once again and hit the tree. The crack becomes larger and you continued on hitting it till it eventually break and turn into a floating mini version of the block hovering above the ground. You picked it up and it felt like wood. You tried fitting it into your pocket hoping that it will shrink into a tinier version of the block and fit into the pocket. But it didn't do as you expected. Instead, you found something solid in your right pocket. You grabbed it out and saw that it was a book with a rectangular shaped. Its cover was made of red crude leather with the endband gold plated. The book wasn't that thick, it was about 30 pages or so. You opened the book and the first pages has words scribbled on it and it says 'Better keep this book, it can save your life!' No one signed it and the writing was really dirty, it looks like it was written by coal or ash or something. You turned over to the next page and saw the heading and it says 'Inventory'. You read the Entire page and next learning about inventory basics. 15 minutes or so has passed and you finally learn how to use the inventory and how to open it. You pulled out both your index and middle finger and did an upward motion on the air. As soon as you did it, a hologram screen comes up with the interface same with Minecraft. You picked up the wooden block and plugged it into one of the slots. The wooden block was pulled from your hand as it nears one of the slots like magnet. You shrugged and continued chopping the tree down. You managed to chop down about 3 other trees before the sun nearly sink into the night. "Oh crap" you muttered.
You didn't know what to do, you didn't even have time to craft a pickaxe to mine coals. You climbed up the dirt hill and looked around the area. In the distance, was lights grouped in one area. You had no choice but to run there. The orange light can still provide you some visibility but it won't for long. You vault over bushes and rocks and dodged tree after tree and sprinted through the woods. The day finally turn to night and everything seems hard to see. You accidentally trip on something and fell down hard since you were running. You stood up and brush your body of the dirt and dust. You were lucky you were wearing hoodie because you weren't bleeding. You again continued to run into the light but was blocked by something. It grabbed your hand and threw you to the tree far away. You made impact and can hear something crack. You were in too much pain to stand up and blacked out.
Note : Well that's it for the first chapter. I myself is unsure why I used you instead of I or something. I guess I typed too much you and got lazy changing them all. Leave a review on which do you prefer , you or I or others?
