Hello, and welcome back to the story I have created. Sorry for the lack of updates recently, I just haven't been feeling motivated to write recently, but however, I am back, and will update more frequently (I will try to do so anyway).
Bwburke94: lol, actually, I have an embarrassing story to share, when I first played Overwatch, I was a Hanzo main. It was only when I had 20 hours on Hanzo, and I was around level 50-60, did I only realise how useless I was in matches. Nowadays, I main Zenyatta, and in 8v8s, I literally only use Genji.
JustHarmonika: Thanks for all the kind words! Sorry for the short chapters (I didn't realise they were that short), I will write much longer chapters next time.
"So are we doing this or not?"
"Just shut the fuck up, okay!?" s̶̨̜̩̱̎ͨͥ͛̋͑̌ͨͪͫ͊̾̀̂ͭ̽͗͗͑͠͡d̨̧̡̙̻̤̜̱͇͙̠̼̞̰̿̓̃̍̈́ͯ̍̅̾̾̉̉͂ͧ͡͡fͧͨ̄͋̃̅͋̑҉̷̛̰͉̹̪͔͢͢h̸̯̤̳̲͙̯̥͈̪͎̹̖͊̈̈̌̾ͪ̽̂̎ͥ̍ͤ̍͝͝ͅs̴̨̡̹̪̼̗̮̬̪͓̩͇̪̻͕̲̭̱͍͒̌̓͐ͬͫ͛ͦ̄̀͡ hissed, anger seething through every word he spat, whilst he stared at the monitor's screen. His abyss black eyes were the epitome of rage at this point.
"Yes, we are going to do this, if you would let me focus for at least a second you dickhead." He spat as he scanned the various lines of code on the screen, before shaking his head dejectedly, and sighing in annoyance, his impatience finally pulling the strings of his actions.
"You really think this shit will work? If he's able to create something this powerful, he wouldn't be ignorant. He's not as stupid as you guys think, he knows what he's doing when it comes to computers. This attack will not prosper."
A few seconds passed after s̶̨̜̩̱̎ͨͥ͛̋͑̌ͨͪͫ͊̾̀̂ͭ̽͗͗͑͠͡d̨̧̡̙̻̤̜̱͇͙̠̼̞̰̿̓̃̍̈́ͯ̍̅̾̾̉̉͂ͧ͡͡fͧͨ̄͋̃̅͋̑҉̷̛̰͉̹̪͔͢͢h̸̯̤̳̲͙̯̥͈̪͎̹̖͊̈̈̌̾ͪ̽̂̎ͥ̍ͤ̍͝͝ͅs̴̨̡̹̪̼̗̮̬̪͓̩͇̪̻͕̲̭̱͍͒̌̓͐ͬͫ͛ͦ̄̀͡ 's speech before silence filled the room, causing everyone to engage in pensive thought.
"So what are we going to do then?" s̶̨̜̩̱̎ͨͥ͛̋͑̌ͨͪͫ͊̾̀̂ͭ̽͗͗͑͠͡d̨̧̡̙̻̤̜̱͇͙̠̼̞̰̿̓̃̍̈́ͯ̍̅̾̾̉̉͂ͧ͡͡fͧͨ̄͋̃̅͋̑҉̷̛̰͉̹̪͔͢͢h̸̯̤̳̲͙̯̥͈̪͎̹̖͊̈̈̌̾ͪ̽̂̎ͥ̍ͤ̍͝͝ͅs̴̨̡̹̪̼̗̮̬̪͓̩͇̪̻͕̲̭̱͍͒̌̓͐ͬͫ͛ͦ̄̀͡ questioned, a hint of annoyance in his harsh voice.
"If we can't breach them through technology, we only have one other option."
"And that is?"
"We go in physically. We kill him, and take her."
Although the idea was promising, it still inspired fear in everyone's eyes, causing them to widen in sudden shock at this extreme heist that s̶̨̜̩̱̎ͨͥ͛̋͑̌ͨͪͫ͊̾̀̂ͭ̽͗͗͑͠͡d̨̧̡̙̻̤̜̱͇͙̠̼̞̰̿̓̃̍̈́ͯ̍̅̾̾̉̉͂ͧ͡͡fͧͨ̄͋̃̅͋̑҉̷̛̰͉̹̪͔͢͢h̸̯̤̳̲͙̯̥͈̪͎̹̖͊̈̈̌̾ͪ̽̂̎ͥ̍ͤ̍͝͝ͅs̴̨̡̹̪̼̗̮̬̪͓̩͇̪̻͕̲̭̱͍͒̌̓͐ͬͫ͛ͦ̄̀͡ was planning.
"Ok then, let's move. Now."
With this sudden order, the team set out on the hunt, each individual taking their own path to execution.
As they all navigated their way through the city towards 'his' house, they all seemed to pick up on a certain sound. A sound so loud, it could only be described as deafening.
The sound of static.
And this sound only seemed to increase in volume the closer they got to the house.
However, they all ignorantly dismissed it, unknowing of the potency this simple sound held.
Unknowing of this omen...
I woke up to the glare of the early morning sun's rays shining through my windows, encouraging me to heave myself out of bed. I turned to my left to notice that Monika was still fast asleep, stirring and gently tugging against my arm. I smiled at the alluring sight before me, before regretfully easing her awake.
Her eyelids began to slowly peel open, revealing the duel orbs emerald green which were peering affectionately at me, accompanied by a small smirk plastered across her beautiful face.
As much as I would love to live the dream of staying home all day with Monika, I would have to face the inevitability of reality, and realise that staying home with Monika all day is, in fact, simply just a dream, a far cry from the bustling rollercoaster of a life I lived.
"Monika, we need to get out of bed, it's time for school unfortunately," I sighed in disappointment. It wasn't long before I heard groans of lethargy from Monika. Somehow, Monika had miraculously managed to get accepted into my school, and would now learn alongside me.
"Please, just five more minutes? Please?" She pleaded as she effused a long yawn of drowsiness. I sighed once more whilst simply smiling at her, how could I refuse Monika?
"Ok, fine. But only five more minutes, or we'll be late." I replied as I laid back down on the bed, feeling Monika almost instantly pull herself towards me, clutching me tightly as she kissed my neck softly.
I exhaled blissfully, absorbing this moment of complete contentment. In almost an instant, I began to feel drowsy, the sensation of sleep almost overwhelming my consciousness, before I quickly darted awake.
I glanced to my left to notice that Monika had fallen asleep again. I softly chuckled, before regretfully waking her up once again.
We freshened up in the bathroom, before having breakfast, then getting changed. We exited the house, chatting freely as we made our way to school.
Upon entering, I almost immediately began to hear curious whispers of pupils, wondering who this new girl was, and how on Earth a nerd like me managed to get such a beautiful girlfriend.
I scanned the area around me, and noticed a friend in the distance: James, probably the only friend I had in this school.
He approached us with an endearing smile.
"Hey Luke! Who's this you have with you? Your girlfriend?" He asked.
"Yes, she's my girlfriend, and she's new. Her name's Mo-" I just managed to catch myself from revealing Monika's identity.
"Melissa..." I said plainly. Thankfully, he seemed to accept this name, and simply continued smiling, although, I couldn't help but notice his eyes widen ever so slightly.
"Well, I need to go now, see you guys during break!" He exclaimed cheerfully as he headed off.
"Thank God you didn't slip out my name back there!"
"No worries, I almost forgot for a second there. Let's just pray that nobody recognises you."
We sat down at a nearby table, chatting and waiting for lessons to begin, which reminded me that Monika had yet to receive a time table. I informed her of this, leading her up to the head's office.
She entered, and I waited outside for her to return with knowledge of her future lessons. She exited the room with a sheet in hand, showing me the lessons she had, and the ones we shared together. Surprisingly, we shared the same English lessons, and with the period one today being English, we made our way to the lesson.
I sat alone on the two person desk in English lessons, meaning there was a convenient spot next to me for Monika to sit.
After settling down, I looked towards the board to notice that we would be doing one of the most mundane activities in existence: analysing a Shakespeare play.
I groaned as I opened my book and flicked to the next blank page.
Monika seemed to notice my sudden shift in demeanour, staring at the glum expression I held.
"Hey, what's wrong?" She asked, leaning towards me to stare into my eyes sympathetically.
"It's just that I find Shakespeare so boring; even more so when I have to analyse his plays." I replied, shrugging my shoulders.
"Aww, come on, it could be fun..." She smiled sweetly, her optimism was so contagious, that it caused me to smile back.
But however, it was as boring as I had expected it to be. I was only five minutes into the lesson, and I already felt disinterested. The teacher's monotone voice only augmented my feeling of boredom. I sighed, and simply waited for the sound of the bell to signal the end of the lesson, and when it came, it sounded like Heaven.
Skipping forward in time to period six, the final period which was unsurprisingly my favourite subject: Computer Science. It also turned out that Monika and I shared the same computer science lessons.
I sat down at my computer, and logged in. Once the computer had loaded, I opened up my project folder, which was a Python program which the class was required to create over a long period of time.
After the teacher had explained the task to Monika, she sat down next to me, and logged in.
As she waited for her computer to load, her eyes glanced over towards my screen, staring in deep interest at the many lines of code on the screen.
"Hmm, this looks really cool!" She exclaimed in enthusiasm.
"It is, but you're probably going to make something even better." I smiled, knowing full well that she was better than me at Python.
"Aww, don't put yourself down like that."
"But we both know that you're just way better at everything than I am."
"I'm definitely not!"
I smiled to myself at the humbleness she displayed. Although she has so much to boast about: her beauty, intellect, athleticism, etc, she doesn't brag about anything, nor does she think of herself as superior in any way.
And she proved her intelligence by completing three quarters of her project in one lesson. The teacher was so shocked that he was almost convinced that she copied me, when in fact, she had done everything herself.
The final bell had just rung, signalling the end of the day, we saved our work, and headed out of school. Upon exiting, we were almost immediately hit by the scorching rays of the sun.
We walked home, chatting together and laughing, the burden of the school day finally off our shoulders…
How?
How is she alive?
What?
And why hasn't he told anyone?
I sat in my bedroom, utterly bewildered. I wasn't just confused, and even to say I was astonished would be an understatement.
But I was also amazed, and also extremely happy for him.
Firstly, because he has a girlfriend, and secondly, because he actually has Monika, THE Monika.
I can't say I'm not a little jealous though.
But still I want answers. I need to know how this miracle occurred.
However, even if I receive answers, I'll still be as confused as I am now. I always will be. Something like this should not occur in real life, this is beyond my understanding.
But Monika coming into the real world opens a whole new set of questions.
If Monika can enter reality, can't other video game characters enter reality?
Even those from fantasy games like the Elder Scrolls?
Actually, I might as well go to his house now.
I hope he won't mind...
