Chapter 8

After setting up the game capsules with his friends,the three prepared to enter the capsule while patiently waiting for the countdown.

The VR game USO was to be launched all over the world this was quite surprising for a newly created game but some how this game had managed to draw alot of people's attention through their advertisment efforts which made them extremely attracted to this VR game and the fact that the game's background was mysterious added a little advantage to it, making people around the world flock to the game in anticipation.

The capsules were like convertible beds that could be opened and closed. The capsules also came in different colors but by chance, the three had matching sliver capsules.

00:05:00

As they were ready to enter their capsules Caleb noticed something and asked-

"Where's Max? I thought he was supposed to join us"

Caleb sat down while asking about their last roommate.

" Oops forgot to tell you guys that something came up at his home so he had to leave,but it's quite surprising for Max to be interested in video games since he's the serious kind.-" Justin replied scratching his head.

"Wait now that I think about it, you guys keep doing things you don't usually do, something fishy is going on" Justin suddenly remembered seeing Drake exercise and probed suspiciously while staring at Drake.

"Pahhhhhh!"

Justin groaned in pain as he rubbed his head while staring angrily at Drake-

"Why are u always hitting people can't u talk normally".

Drake smiled sheepishly but said nonetheless-

" Ooops you deserved it anyways,what are you saying uhhn, of course people change idiot and I don't think what happened is a change, but you know you're the one who's changed here " Drake smiled teasingly.

Justin face brightened at that-

"Really how did I change, am I more handsome or more smarter or extremely charming" Justin asked with pride while rubbing the sore part of his head.

"No not that, you just got more annoying and talkative"Caleb responded from the side rolling his eyes at Justin's narcissism.

"You're right, that's what I wanted to say" Drake gave Caleb a thumbs up.

(⁠*⁠_⁠*⁠)

"Heyyyy", Justin shouted in anger, "I'm very lovable not annoying, you two are ganging up on me right? Justin pointed his fingers at them accusingly.

"very well then , I'd see you on the other side" Justin then laid in his capsule and slammed it shut.

"That sounds kinda weird, don't you think so" Drake looked at Caleb weirdly.

" Yeah, sounds like he's entered hell and he's calling us over" Caleb shuddered.

"Well this is definitely not hell so let's go then", Drake said and he entered and closed his capsule.

Caleb also entered his and they were all transported into the game.

Boom

A flash of bright light awakened them and the surroundings finally came into everyone's view.

Drake looked around and found himself in a garden area with lush trees, looking ahead there was particular tree with an altar underneath it and Drake proceeded towards it. On the altar there was an instruction to input one's in-game name.

Drake thought hard and decided to use his name. After inputting his name the altar disappeared and his vision also blacked This happened to all the players.

Appearing in another environment Drake opened his eyes,looking around Drake was finally able to take in his view and was amazed at the realistic look and feeling of the game,he could even feel the wind and the sunlight on his body ,they were also lots of lush trees, birds were flying around in the air, and the clouds also looked like the one's back in earth.

"The brains behind this VR game must be the smartest genius"- Drake mumbled still fascinated with the surroundings.

Just then a system interface appeared in everyone's view.

Looking at his system interface made him remember his system back in the real world.

After closing the systems interface with a thought, Drake moved around looking for his friends, after looking around for a while he couldn't find them.

"seems like we were transported to different locations" Drake thought.

Then everyone heard a loud ringing so they followed the sound and headed to the town's center. Getting closer to the sound, Drake saw several people in white gowns floating at the front and he increased his pace. There was already a large crowd at the city's square. After some few minutes one of the men stepped forward and started with a resounding voice.

"Welcome new players to USO, this is beginning village no.1 there are also 4 other villages like these. After leaving the beginning village there are dangers lurking around like monsters and whatnot. To level up you have to kill monsters, complete missions or hidden quests to gain experience points. While hidden quests are triggered according to circumstances which depends on your luck.After reaching level 15 you get to pick your classes.A basic weapon has been added to everyone's inventory. All other information are left for you to discover. Good luck players!!" He concluded.

Then the men in white gowns all disappeared.

"Disappearing should be a trend in this place"-Drake thought remembering how the altar also disappeared.

The crowd scattered as they all went to various places to level up while some few others just roamed the beginning village.
