Game on

The year 2037, February 4 at exactly 6 pm. A game happened at the Byulan province where Shina and her teammates live.

"Tactical Online Battlegrounds has three modes. AD, a short term for Attacker versus Defender, Heist, and Battle Royale. Tonight!, we will be playing AD mode" Mayor Ronald announces. "Now for the lucky teams!". "Please step up into the Stage, T3, and Drakes!" He announces the lucky two teams who got picked to play this tonight's Game.

T3 was composed of Kalix, the Main Leader of the Team, Kayn the quietest Member, Scout the Kindest, Shina the only female, and Hiro the obsessed with Guns. While on the Drakes, it was composed of five males which are Doom, David, Grant, Tampa, and Mice. their names are kind of weird and no one knows if that's their actual real names or just a nickname they gave themselves. Either way, they're not a team that should be underestimated. Because they're once recruited by a Manager to play on a bigger platform. It's an opportunity they wasted just to stay in this province, probably to bully some players, and that's a fact that the Mayor announced that made the T3 question the matchmaking.

"Holy sh*t, isn't this like our very first actual game?" Hiro aggressively asks.

"Yes and they made us compete with an experienced Team, isn't that a bit unfair?" Scout responded.

"Not for me though" Kalix confidently said.

"WHAT?!, YOU'RE EXPERIENCED?!" Hiro shockingly asks.

"control yourself" Kayn quietly said.

"Wha-?!" Hiro responded.

"I'm just grateful you know that we got the opportunity, but yeah it's unfair," Shina said. That's always the case when you're just in a province and not in a city. Life flows unfairly, If you can't grab the opportunity that was given to you even when you know you won't win, then you won't gain. The only thing that matters here in a province, is that even when you lose that opportunity, at least you gained the experience to try again until you can rise.

"Please Enter the Lobby," The Announcer said. And finally, the game will begun and all the VIPs were now in their seats. The VIPs are the audiences inside the Gymnasium where the game took place, they are a gambler that bets onto the team they think can win, while the other audiences are watching from a TV Screen outside of the Gym. It was implemented so that the people that don't have any money to bet can also watch and be entertained.

"Inside the room, there are enough five bedrooms with each VR Engines," The Announcer added.

Everyone was feeling nervous the moment they Entered, the room has an Air-Conditioner and White Painted Walls covered with Yellowish Circle Marks. In the center inside the room, there is a Table with a Touch Screen TV laid down where the banning phase will be held and a couch that fits 5 people where players can sit while banning.

"Please go to the Counter on the left side, the bidding will now begin, you will see four zero's in there, which means that the highest bid will not exceed 9999. put the cash on the Counting Engine that you wanted to bid. To that bid who is higher than the other team, will become the final bid and the other team must need to equal their bid to the final bid to start the game, but it can also be modified by bidding a much higher bid than the final bid" The Announcer explained.

On the Counter. Kalix, Kayn, Scout, and Hiro put 1k each on the Counting Engine while Shina only put 500, because she's broked, making their bid amount only 4,500 Coins. luckily for them, the bid amount of Drakes was only 3k so the final bid was T3's bid which is 4,500 Coins, so Drakes is the one who will need to adjust.

"Proceed to the Table at the center of the room, the banning phase will now begin," The Announcer instructed them and a sound of clicking was heard on the TV indicating that it was now on and ready to be used. Hiro excitedly rushed in at the Table to see the wide variety of Firearms. He's nerdy when it comes to Guns.

"There are five Types of Firearms available, Rifles, Snipers, Shotguns, Machine Guns, and Sub-Machine Guns. Each team can only ban one type at a time, once executed, you will now proceed to your self-picked Bedroom" The Announcer explains.

"Hey hey hey! what should we ban here?!" Hiro excitedly asks.

"control yourself" Kayn quietly said.

"Shut up, let me have my moment here. I can handle the banning phase, you all can rest assured!" Hiro confidently said.

In just a short amount of time, the banning phase of the T3 Team was executed. Kalix and the other members were shocked as to why it was so fast, so they immediately look up at the Screen, and the type that was banned was the Machine Guns. "What?!" Kalix shouted. Hiro on the other hand explained why he immediately executed the banning and why he banned the Machine Guns. "Machine Guns are- you know, scary to look at. it'll be better if we can make the game at least a bit slower," He explains.

"what kind of reasoning is that?" Kayn quietly asks.

"Shut the hell up!" Hiro responded.

And so they just go with it because it was already executed, "But the next time we got the part again, I'm gonna handle the banning phase" Kalix said.

"idiot" Kayn whispered.

"You got a problem with my banning?!" Hiro sarcastically asks.

"no" Kayn responded and immediately ignored Hiro. They entered into their desired bedrooms except for Hiro because he was busy arguing with Kayn who ignored him.

"Woi! don't ignore me!" Hiro angrily said while entering his Bedroom and they waited for the Announcer's instruction on what to do next.

"You can now use the VR Engines next to your beds," The Announcer said. They then hold their each VR Engines and put it on their heads like a helmet. "After that, you can now Lay down and rest, the computer will make you asleep and your Consciousness will be put inside the Virtual World".

"Holy sh*t! this is something else!" Hiro excitedly said as he lay down.

"Good luck everyone, always do the very best, the Shoutcasters will now take hold of the game," The Announcer said. The shoutcasters were now in their positions, ready to narrate the game into a more engaging play.

"Game!, On!" Hiro shouted.
