Log To Death Ground

Current Time,

India, Delhi

When will you get serious about anything in your life?

We see a kid quietly listening with a gloomy gaze.

Oh, so now you won't answer me.

He was still standing silently, like none of this mattered to him.

Get out of my face, you talentless piece of garbage. I don't know if you could do even a single thing in your life.

With a sorrowful, gloomy expression, he enters his room.

OK, you are done. I shall explain the story myself now.

I am the kid you just saw with a gloomy face, and the woman shouting at me is my mother, or so I was told from the time I was born.

My dad has lost every hope in me, and now my mother is also on the same course. I am from a relatively wealthy family, and the place we live is where all the successful people from the whole country reside, which is also one of the reasons they are more hopeless toward me, because I am just like dirt in front of those talented kids.

It's not like I did not try. I tried everything from dance to singing, and I thought I was good at playing the piano because my eyes and hands were the only things moving rapidly, but I just could not do it in a synchronized manner, so I was also not good at it and was left out in the end.

Should I just die? What should I do to make them happy (he stares out of his room for some time)?

Ding! (A sudden message pops up on the screen)

Notification: The game Death Ground is now available at your nearby retailer. Just go and buy a copy of the game. Go fast!! You will receive an additional 25% discount if you purchase it right now.

Huh, is this a new game? How can they send me a notification about their game like this?

Knock! Knock!

Brother, are you here? (slowly opens the door)

A young boy enters the room.

He is my little brother, Dhruv, and he is the only one in our household that loves me wholeheartedly, and the same goes for me.

(With a smile on his face) What happened, Dhruv?

Brother, could you grab me some ice cream?

Yeah, sure, would you like to come with me?

Can I?

(laughing at how cute his sibling is) Yeah, you can, and I was not in a good mood either.

Yeeeah, I am going shopping with my brother.

I took the car keys and told mum that I was going outdoors, and she was not in a good mood, but she said yes and told us to come home early since Dhruv had to go to school in the morning.

Inside the vehicle,

Everything is going smoothly in school.

Yes, brother, how is your college life going?

Yeah, it's basically going well. (clearly, it's a lie because all the friends I made were seeking my money, and then I had a dispute with them, and now I am a loner with amazing looks. Of course, I have trust in my wonderful looks, if not for anything else. Many of you would wonder, why have I not tried acting or modeling? It's not like I did not try; I tried, but it was just not for me.

It looks like we have reached our destination.

Dhruv: Yay, let's go.

Hey, slow down, or you might fall.

Hmm, so where is the ice cream?

Dhruv-Brother, look, look, I discovered something. (it was a game CD).

What is this? (That was the CD for the game Death Grounds).

(He smiled a little and put it into the cart.)

At the checkout point

Shopkeeper: Oh Dhruv, what are you doing out of the house this late?

Do you know Dhruv?

Yeah, he came around almost daily after school.

I stared at him, and he looked down at the floor.

Shopkeeper-Looks like I said something I should not have.

Inside the vehicle,

What are you doing in this shop after school? What if your mother got to know about this?

Dhruv: I am sorry, brother.

Just don't turn out like me, Dhruv, at least not in front of your parents.

Dhruv: But, brother, you're cool.

Being just cool is not good. You are talented. I am sure you will do something big in the future.

Dhruv: Don't worry, brother. I'm sure I'll be successful, but I know you'll be someone I'll always look up to.

Look at you and your cheesy talk.

Dhruv-Hehe.

At home,

(opens the computer)

Who would have thought I'd open my computer after all this time to play games?

The game begins.

Welcome to the Death Grounds,

Your full name is: _____________

Your username _____________

Hmm, what should be my name? Yeah, this would be enough.

Your actual name is "Aditya."

Your username is "Black Dragon."

Yeah, this should be enough.

Are you sure you want this to be your username and real name?

Yes | No

Clicks yes.

PLEASE DESIGN YOUR CHARACTER.

This should be fun.

So are told that this was the start of the legendary Black Dragon.

We see Aditya, grown up, sitting in a suit.

Aditya: Well, yeah, it was the start, but there is still a whole story left about how we ended up in the World League.
