Chapter 3
After 3 years of not being able to finish this game on my own, and with all the teasing I was getting.
I decided to create a Mod...
A mod is a modification of the original game. It allows you to modify or add features.
People who do this kind of thing are called modders...
And I'm one of them!
I spent 3 long years coding the game so that it would be impossible to finish. Then I'll publish it online and become the only one to have finished it.
"But won't it be too obvious that I created it?"
I was talking to myself again...
"It doesn't matter, in any case, people will quickly get bored when they can't do it."
And why wait, my Mod is over now.
I shut down my computer and went to bed. The coding I'd done in such a hurry had finished off my whole body.
The next day...
What?" I fell asleep at this hour?!"
It was already 9 a.m., I'd slept for 15 hours. I never thought I'd be so tired.
I turned on the TV to see what was on.
There was nothing interesting on when an ad caught my eye...
"What, the UBH game is closing?"
The ad explained that UBH's servers would be closing, so it would still be possible to play it, but only offline.
I immediately looked it up on the game's forum.
Idolatry: Didn't the developers give a reason?
Pempaye: No, maybe they've discovered the bug?
Jynlyn: The game's been around for 6 years, so they're already aware of the bug.
I immediately understood...
"But then if the UBH servers shut down, that means no one will be able to play my Mod."
After eating, I went to work as if everything was normal.
UBH really was a game that was played by a lot of people. It had an important place in society. You learn that the game's closed servers were a morale booster for everyone.
I waved goodbye to everyone and got to work.
L'Hiboux: I hear the developers are going to announce something soon.
Gamer25: Where did you get this information?
The Owls: My entourage.
The Owls... He was the kind of person who could make you believe anything.
I don't believe guys like him.
My colleagues were already talking about it.
"Have you heard?"
"Yes, the developers are going to announce something."
Why were they so excited?
Every time, they're just going to explain why they shut down the servers.
"Everyone go to their stream!"
"What?"
"What's going on?"
I could hear hundreds of questions around me.
So I went to their stream. The headline read.
"A big update on Ultimate Bounty Hunter is about to begin!"
I put my phone back down, sighing.
"So much for that!"
But I was about to realize that I was far away...
But I was about to realize that I was far from surprised...
A noise was heard in the distance.
It sounded like explosions.
"What's going on? It came from outside!"
I looked out the window and was impressed by what I saw.
It was as if this purple aura was sucking our whole world in. No, it's not an impression, it's doing it.
"We've got to get out of here fast!"
What are they talking about, it's like the end of the world, there's no escaping it!
"Everyone, come this way!"
As they all tried desperately to get away, I stayed at my workstation.
"Everyone's going to die anyway, so what's the point in me..."
What if they were right? What if they were right?
That there was a way out.
Just as I had decided to finally leave, a purple laser aimed at my head.
Unconscious, I fell to the ground.
