Chapter 10: First day of war

"Fren, go get some sleep, it's going to be hell tomorrow." Ivy said. I yawned. "Sure. Where's my room though?"

She called one of the waiters, spoke curtly to him, and then he asked me to follow him. We reached my room. It was a large room with neon lights of purple illuminating the space. I felt too tired after dinner to have a look around. Stopping once in front of a mirror to stare at my reflection, I still couldn't believe I was a girl now. Then I hopped up on my soft and comfy bed and my eyes drooped. The only vague thought I had before sleep was;

"Tomorrow will be the best day ever"

"Looking forward to an action-packed day today!" Jorge said excitedly, rubbing his hands together. Currently, we were sitting in our jet. Two hours rewind, I had a quick breakfast, went to the arsenal shop to buy my weapons and get my guns loaded. I don't know how much I slept or if I even slept, it was gaming world after all.

"Well, we still don't know which sort of game it will be. There are so many to even make out a pattern from! But I can hardly complain. That's where the fun is. You don't need to have a specific level to win, it; is the talent that counts." Ivy said

"What sort of level will be there" I asked

"You'll see." Ivy said indifferently. We three, except the pilot were the only ones on the jet. The rest of the team was arriving on another plane. We were moving out of Voscoville towards the outskirts and then towards a forest. The trees were so close together that it made me wonder if we would be able to even see down there.

The pilot announced that we had to land there. So, we put on our helmets and goggles, along with the parachute. The door opened. Ivy jumped first of all. She was screaming. I was a bit worried about her whether she could do it in time or not. Then as my panic was alleviating, her parachute opened and she landed safely near the edge of the forest.

"See you down there." Jorge said and did the same as Ivy. I was a bit nervous. But rest assured if they could do it, I could obviously too. With that, I jumped off from the jet.
