"Dude, have you got much sleep at all?" Wade half shouted at Mark over the webcam.

Honestly, anyone would say that after they've seen him. He had bags underneath his drooping, dull eyes sunken with insomnia. His red hair was messy and he had a hard time preventing his eyelids from collapsing. Every single time he tried to get to sleep, he'll get shaken awake by nightmares. Because of this, he couldn't get much sleep.

'No.' Mark groaned as he tried hard not to fall asleep.

'You should get some sleep Mawk, you're not looking too good.' Jack said over his side of the webcam, worried.

'Yeah, oi agree.' Aaron's british accent added to the collection of voices.

'Still, why haven't you gotten much sleep?' Danny questioned.

'Just can't.' Mark lied.

'Well, I'd recommend taking some sleeping pills, they always work for me.' Arin's voice said beside Danny.

'Thanks, I appreciate the advice.'

"Anyways, everyone ready?" Wade asked everyone, where everyone simultaneously replied: "Yep." While Mark just replied with an exhausted "Yes…"

Everyone clicked on the game downloaded on their computer, and Jack smiled.

It came to a title page, where it was pitch black, not revealing much except for a grey silhouette standing in the dark, positioned in a way that it looked like it was staring right at the player, and a text at the top of the page reading: "Matter of life or death" in grey, while the word "Life" was written in white, "Death" was written in a much darker grey. In the centre of the page, was a button that said: "Play" Written in a red times new roman font that gave Mark the chills for some reason.

"Okay, now THIS is creepy."

'Shaddup Danny, don't be such a baby.'

"Well, Arin, you're being a jerk."

'Shaddup.'

One by one, each YouTuber did their intro's, and they all pressed play.

Mark swore that the millisecond after he pressed play, the silhouette had glowing red eyes.

It came to a screen with a message.

ENTER CODE

It was written in the same font as the Play button, with a text box beneath it.

"Uh… What's the code?" Aaron asked to nobody in particular.

'Relax, I got it, I'm the host. It's DKPV81216135.'

"Okay? What the hell?" Jack joked, typing it in.

Immediately, it came to another screen, with three buttons, each one looking like it was for a type of class, like in Overwatch or TF2.

Aviator, Tank, Sniper. written in white against silvery blue hexagons.

"Guys, I'm an Aviator. Sounds cool." Mark exclaimed as he clicked on the aviator button.

Moments later, everyone else had chosen their appearance and class.

"Everyone ready? Let's go." Wade said, without even waiting for anyone to respond.

Around thirty minutes later, they were up to the boss fight. The game was pretty short, but Mark learned to look past quantity and look for quality. The quality was AMAZING, the graphics were god-standard and felt like virtual reality. It was one of those realistic games like Overwatch or TF2, and honestly, it was up to that standard.

The boss itself looked like a normal person, save for his blazing and glowing red eyes. He was tall, around six feet, with midnight black hair that matched his ripped hoodie. Apparently, He-or it- was insanely hard to beat. He was a pyrokenetic demon-like thing who hurled glowing balls of phoenixes at the gang every ten seconds.

"KILL HIM KILL HIM JACK BEHIND YOU" Arin screamed at the top of his lungs, so loud that it'll surprise Mark that Danny didn't cringe in pain.

Right behind Jack was a phoenix like fireball, glowing so brightly that Jack had a hard time seeing.

Jack didn't even have time to react when Marks sprite picked him up, and soared away from it.

The aviator was exactly what it sounds like, it's a class that can fly. Their speed was higher than everyone else's, and they're even faster mid-flight.

"Great! Thanks! It's distracted, You left us an opening!" Arin smirked as he and Danny aimed for the boss.

This time, Danny and Arin were playing on separate computers, and while Danny was a sniper, Arin was a tank. Like the aviator, the Tank and sniper were pretty much what they had sound like, The tank was the strongest, highest defence, but its low speed was the one dragging it back. The sniper was equipped with a bow and arrow, fires massive damage if aimed at certain parts of the body, only thing holding it back was its defence.

The boss took several damage, while Wade swooped in from the air to attack.

Wade the aviator managed to break through the boss' defence and weaken it slightly.

"Mawk! drop me!" Jack yelled as Aaron the tank aimed and shot. Mark did as he was told, and while Jack was falling, he managed to hit some weak spots on the boss' back. He was a sniper after all.

The boss glowed, radiating a fiery red colour, while Wade fell silent.

"THAT DOES NOT LOOK GOOD!" He yelled. "GUYS GET OUT OF THE WAY!"

The floor reflected rays of red, before the demon was even moving. Literally the following second, the boss attacked, following the lines of those reflected rays.

Mark didn't get hit, nor did he think they did much damage. However, Aaron screaming that he's dead proved otherwise.

Aaron was at half health.

The battle was just getting real now.
