Chapter 4: Uncanny questions

A message appeared on the screen

"REAL LIFE IS SO BORING RIGHT?"

It said on the top of the screen. Beneath it were two options;

" YES NO"

It was kind of funny to me. Intrigued by this, I clicked on 'YES' Then for a short interval the screen went black again and then said;

"DO YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE GAMING AT ITS FULLEST? CLICK ON YES TO GO TO THE DASHING WORLD OF DIE-TRYING, WHERE DANGER IS THE CLIMATE AND DEATH LURKS AROUND ALL CORNERS READY TO CONSUME IT'S VICTIM WHEN THEY LET THEIR GUARD DOWN"

It had such an attractive aura that I could do nothing but click on yes. Waiting for what was coming next, I for a nano-second considered this to be some sort of spam. But after a while the screen said;

"DISCLAIMER; SOME FEATURES MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE WHICH ARE PROVIDED TO MOST GAMERS. YOU WILL BE PLAYING THE ANTAGONIST. DIE-TRYING WILL BE COMPLETELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SAFETY. PLEASE ENSURE A FAST AND SECURE INTERNET CONNECTION. PLEASE CUSTOMISE YOUR CHARACTER."

Wait-. This didn't make any sense. I had a hardware version of this game. But Die-trying is an online game? Is it really some spam? Could it be some sort of virus to hack computers? These questions were continuously swirling inside my head. At least having something to do, I did click on "AGREE AND CONTINUE"

Again the screen went black
