Chapter 1: Mile High App!
[Date: September 23 - Time 11.32 Pm - Location Golden Gate City - Bakeres street - Number:111]
Inside a typical two-story home, a young man was currently performing pushups in his bedroom, his upper torso was gleaning with sweat as he pushed his body to the limit.
"191, 192 193..."
He counted every single push-up as his chest touched the floor. He always performed exercise right before bed, it helped him sleep better. Especially considering that when he didn't he would always distract himself with a current anime or manga he's watching. Before long it's already five am and school starts in three hours.
So exercise...very important. After calling out 250, he collapsed onto the floor, gasping for air, his body ached like hell but it was a good ache. Finally after shaking of all the lactic acid build up, he pulled himself up and dragged himself to the bath to take a shower before bed.
"Summer breaks coming to an end and now I need to go right back to the hell ho—I mean school...who am I kidding that place Is a hell hole, sigh! It feels like the summer break went by so fast, at first I was bored doing the same thing every day but now that schools starting tomorrow I don't want to go."
"Not to mention the book signing that's going to be taking place at the mall, I won't have the chance to get MouMou's Signiture." He groaned out in annoyance. He had been a fan of MouMou's mangas and wated to meet him in real life but nor it seems that won't be happening.
While he was lamenting the gruelling task of having to lift his lazy behind tomorrow, he took a quick shower, brushed his teeth, and cleaned the sweat on the floor with a used towel before performing a fade way to the laundry basket in the corner of his room.
"Kobe...and he scores on the buzzer." Elijah mimicked how the announcers would sound, before making his way to bed. Of course like any teenager right before heading to bed he scrolled through his phone to check the weather tomorrow and to school the app that the older generation describes as brain rot, Tictoc.
And to be honest, Elijah couldn't say that statement was false, but it wasn't right either.
Yes, kids and young adults can spend hours doing nothing but watching hours worth of videos of a guy pointing out the obvious, but times change and with that change comes different perspectives.
This app may very well waste people's time but it's also a place for opportunities, with thousands of businesses being created because this app exists.
In any case, he was going on a tangent. Injecting himself with his his daily ticktock dosage, he closed the app and was promptly going to shut his phone off, but he stopped himself.
"Huh, what's this, I don't think I've seen this icon before." In front of his screen in the corner an unknown app icon appeared, he never remembered downloading an app with that specific icon. It had a purple background with polka dots and a pair of pink lips in the middle.
Wanting to satisfy his own curiosity, Elijah clicked on the app and waited for it to load. The screen went black for a moment before an animation of the very same pink lips appeared on the screen followed by the app's name.
[Welcome to the Mile High App!!!]
He read as fireworks went off behind the letters. Elijah quirked a brow at the name."Mile High App? Is this some new dating website...was I so lonely that in my sleep I downloaded a dating website. Sigh! How the mighty have fallen."
Of course, Elijah was just joking, but that did raise a question, how did this app appear on his phone. A continue button appeared shortly after the fireworks disappeared, and he pressed it without any hesitation.
The scene changed again but this time a few different things appeared, "Is this a game, there is a new game, tutorial and even game settings on the screen." He was curious now, but he also looked at his alarm clock and knew he needed to head off to bed..sooner rather then later.
But not wanting to stay curious about what this game or dating app was, he skipped the tutorial and the game options, going straight for the new game button.

"Aaaaand my phone definitely has a virus, and I paid for premium Mcafee too, seriously what is this, will this virus try to take my credit card info? Jokes on you I'm poor as shit." Of course, he was just joking, he just didn't like having money in the bank and preferred using cash instead.
Elijah didn't take whatever the app said and deleted it from his phone. Looking over at the clock it was already past midnight so he put his phone away and went straight to sleep.
Luckily for him he never had any difficulties falling asleep, so not even five minutes later, he was sound asleep, completely unaware that the app he had just deleted re-installed itself.
