Finding Light in a Dark World
Chapter 1 - Getting Into the Dark World

I still remember clearly, when I was only nine years old. That was the first time I entered the online gaming world. At that time, online gaming was still new and the public did not fully understand this phenomenon. There are even those who refer to the online gaming world as the dark world circle.

Because the world of online games in this year is a lot of typical money theft, children lie parents even steal things and then sell to play online games ....

However, I entered it without the slightest feeling of fear. I followed the directions of my friends at school and got into the online game world called "Dark World" because they said that he could earn a lot of money . I was curious and wanted to try for myself what it was like to play online games.

I still remember vividly, when I first got into the cafe for the first time, they were there very cool with their own computers, as if the room was dark and gloomy.

Then I headed to the computer I ordered to play the repetition game suggested by my friend. As I played his environment around me changed, I felt I was in that game world, I could be anything I wanted to be. I can be a brave hero or a powerful wizard. I can do things I can't do in the real world. I feel free and freed from the limitations of the real world.

I met another player who was in the game. They all behaved strangely and spoke strange language. I feel awkward and uncomfortable, but also feel curious about them. did not feel the sun was about to turn six, the time for brmain cafe I was over . because I only have the money to raise the computer for 2 hours only, when walking home I also think about what they are talking about in the game , I didn't think it was my trip to the house, and I went to the door and entered the room to clean my body and legs of what I was doing this afternoon

The day changed very quickly, I thought about what language they were speaking and still continued to see the conversation they were speaking ....

the longer I was in the game world I finally realized that what they were saying in English and I was very antusisas to learn it on the internet , day after day I feel trapped in it. I lost time and ignored the real world. I started to forget things that were in the real world, like my school friends and family.

But I feel that finding games on the internet is very easy, because my income when selling in-game items is equivalent to my aunt's salary.

But one day I met another player who was in that game.he was from Indonesia, and he said his age was still 15 , from one side do not believe that he is 15 years old, because my friend said do not trust someone in this game because he could have lied to you .

Day after day playing with the player and very fun to play with that player , because of the one player who can speak Indonesian that I can meet and on the one hand I am getting more and more complacent with the new world now , and my real life friends made me realize that I had to get out of that dark world,

but I didn't respond to what they were talking about , I make a lot of money day after day to play online games such as equipment for charters that I make to make very big money when I am currently  , I also kept quiet buying them because of the money I made and on the one hand there were many cigarettes that could make me not sleep when I played online games at night

I felt challenged and started to find out about the secret. I was adventuring in that game, dealing with terrifying monsters and facing various obstacles that blocked my path , for days I did not sleep to find the secret , but I didn't get a clue by

the indonesian player

But there is a secret that happens at this time someone who saved me gave the referrer.he was a woman, after exchanging messenger id after playing together for a long time. After opening the messenger application that I use, then I look for the messenger id given , it turns out there if at see his age is much older than my age .

I told him a long story that I am currently experiencing, but he can provide a solution to the problem that I am experiencing now , In such an exit that could only be opened by a brave and powerful player. The exit led me to the real world, where I was back in a real environment and facing real life

After the woman told her truth, I began to understand that real life has a different beauty from the world of online games. And day after day I play along with myself, and tell me back that I was a child not necessarily to plunge into the world of online games . Because you will regret entering it ..

I thank the woman, but on the one hand I do not believe the words of the wantia , Then I just gave an answer to the woman but I am not sure if I will follow the advice of the woman

But one day the woman turned on the Voice feature in the mesengger I used by me and her ,

"You shouldn't have entered the world of gaming as young as 9 years old should have played kite hahaha," he said in a soft voice, Maybe it's a trivial word to the crowd , his words opened your eyes, ' he said, freeing you from the shackles that keep you trapped in the addiction of online games. Is it possible I like this woman ? . impossible right? . not felt the day is already afternoon, "ease first yes brother already afternoon my money today already abis  , maybe I won't play tomorrow because there's a replay at school "Say me before ending the game today .  "You have to learn tonight, all right, don't play the game, okay ? later if we play good grades until morning haahaha "he said in a soft voice,

After playing with the woman I realized what I was doing yesterday, I started to rediscover a little bit the meaning of the important values in my life today, such as friendship, family, family, and maybe love ? but it is impossible that I am 9 years old now .
