The Hero of Bugs: Players
HOBs: Amateur player | 1 |
Chp 1's. Invitations.
Pingy!
The Logo Message came out right in front of the face of the young man who was trying to sleep.
A confused face did not radiate within him but instead made him pull the blanket beside him.
A few hours later the young man opened his eyes again and tried to confirm it once more.
"...."
And the picture still remains there.
"So I've been chosen."
The inner youth narrowed his eyes, hoping that if only all this was a dream.
His short hand tried to grab the logo, not long out a hologram screen along with golden fireworks that flew to all directions.

________°_________
A blank look appeared on the face of the young man with the disheveled hair.
Every now and then the young man's mouth closed and opened, he tried to string up a sentence, himself then spelling one word at a time in a soft voice.
Inside the message contained a countdown timer that started ticking.
That was the beginning of Evans Mallory, a 15-year-old youth was chosen as a player and entered the Tower.
...***...
...About 20 years ago a strange object suddenly emerged from the sky and slowly fell into one of the uninhabited islands....
...Indonesia is an archipelago of 17,504 islands belonging to the sovereign territory of Indonesia, of the many islands in Indonesia that are inhabited only about 6,000 islands where 5,707 of them already have names....
...Now one of the islands is in the spotlight and attention of various world governments because of the phenomenon of a foreign object....
...The Indonesian government and surrounding countries tried to investigate the foreign object but failed due to an invisible barrier encircling the island, both from above and below....
...The next day strange events begin to appear around the world, a number of people disappear suddenly. The news made a scene in all the countries of the world. They become alert and increase their security for days....
...Soon a number of people from various worlds disappeared again until they were found on an island with a tower attached....
...Everyone was amazed at how they entered the island, even though many things had been done by the world government to enter it....
...Because of the restless various world governments they immediately gathered various experts and researchers, even the military was also involved to solve the mystery....
...A few years later they found a number of mobs that entered the island got a strange message and floated in the air. ...
...The message contained their selection as players and the right to enter the Tower....
...Once the timer stops at zero then unilaterally they will be moved in there....
...The island that got a lot of attention around the world in recent years. ...
...It eventually became an island that was very well known to all the inhabitants of the world....
...The island is located in the territory of Indonesia on an island that has never been found before....
...***...
Evans sees on the internet as well as news and live streaming of players there. In the last 20 years the island has undergone many significant changes.
The island which was originally filled with jungle and wild animals, as if it changed into a settlement and unique cities are beautiful as in the game.
Evans took a very long breath that night.
"Bother."

Evans always arrives in class with the teacher right next to him, they always come together.
Evans is famous for coming always on time of course not his teacher who is late but Evans here. But even so Evans is still a good boy and never truant once.
Upon arriving at class Evans is always a sign to everyone that the lesson is about to begin. Until unexpectedly this morning Evans surprised one of his friends.
"For Ney."
Sapa Evans after putting her bag on the chair and looking at the beautiful woman who was rubbing her eyes.
"Not trusted..."
"How are you?"
///
Evans smiled awkwardly as he did not get a reaction from the beautiful woman. Evans then approached because he still did not get an answer.
"Hm. You're working so hard." Evans noticed what Ney was working on.
"But I still lost to you anyway hihihi. How did you get up early Vans?" Ney then stopped his learning activities and turned to ask Evans with a small laugh.
Ney was right even though Evans' behavior seemed to come late and felt never learned, but he was the smartest in his class. Even he also won an Olympic medal, a feat that is very difficult for everyone to make.
Ney is also no less smart than Evans, he occupies the second position in his class. After the two chatted for a long time, Evans started to move around asking questions that bothered him all night.
"Ney there's something I want to say." Evans seemed to have trouble making a serious expression.
"Yes?" Ney smiled at his friend. Ney already knew that if Evans was a little special, under whatever circumstances he would remain calm and flat, he always thought logically and rationally.
That's how Evans even his own voice also seemed flat without any emotion. Even so Evans can still smile and socialize with the surrounding.
"Listen to me, there's a stupid man. He loves women who already have girlfriends. He had loved that woman for a long time. He just never dared to convey his feelings in the first place.
Even He has liked since Elementary until now, somehow they can go to school in the same place until now. But..." Evans looked up to see what expression Ney was making.
"They compete with each other and support each other. That's how the man felt. The story then ends with his mistress having a lover and makes the poor man end up moving away."
Ney's face was now shaken with watery eyes.
"Now the man can finally breathe a sigh of relief by conveying what he feels."
Ney who was listening just raised his eyebrows, "Otherwise this is Vans, stop joking around."
"Ney, I know you're dating. I also know you love her very much, and this is just my selfish desire" Not finished Evans continued, a soft sobbing sound began to be heard.
"Go Vans. Hicks." Ney's voice trembled slightly.
Evans who saw her was a little surprised, he just bit his lips and stepped back.
Accompanied by a desk as his pillow, Evans tries to sleep.
"Finally." Evans with a faint smile. He didn't win and he didn't lose either.
Evans had deliberately told Ney before news of him becoming a player spread, he would soon be trained and get full guidance for ten days from the government.
He himself has reported and will get one exclusive right. Exclusive rights will be granted to them prospective players.
The right will only be obtained if you undergo ten days of training and guidance from the government. Exclusive rights are parting gifts given by the government to prospective players.
They may freely ask for anything, one request and be fulfilled immediately.
Some would-be players have strange requests. But it is very rare, for example, to ask for a girlfriend, a date with an artist, and other strange requests.
What's the point if you already have a girlfriend but will leave her?
What's the point of dating someone famous if only to be forgotten?
Evans confused himself with this illogical request from them.
But most of them ask for possessions like money, jewelry or houses to leave to their families.
As it would part with a very long or even a lifetime inside the island, this was all it could leave behind.
Evans has long known the figure of Ney, he will certainly feel pity, pity and responsibility if he knows the truth.
She probably won't hesitate to end her relationship with her lover and start a relationship with him.
That's what Ney is very liked by Evans.

That morning the classroom atmosphere seemed crowded with a miracle that they thought would never happen even if the world ended.
Everyone who entered the class would have looked at Evans for a second, their eyes looking as if they saw a ghost when he was just a broken-hearted human being.
Evans is rare to be found in hours like this. Now at Evans' table is surrounded by a few people.
"This van is still less at 7 loh, how can I wake up anyway." One guy insinuated Evans.
"Kok here smells huh?" One of the sarcasm.
"Vans play ball yok." One more just wants to play.
Evans seemed to be enjoying the conversation with them, he smiled faintly and remained calm as if nothing had happened.
There are some people who offend Ney, because he doesn't usually stay alone in the corner. Usually Ney always looks with Evans.
A middle-aged man with a head full of gray hair came along with the ringing of the lesson bell. He was the teacher that morning, the large package book was also seen in hand as if it were his weapon.
"Good morning. Everyone, now you will share the number you have been waiting for. Each one take one and immediately change seats after the number you get. Do it quietly and don't make a fuss."
It was as if small rolls of paper were starting to come out of his pants pocket. Also true that day was the day they moved seats. Evans just realized that.
The teacher scratched his head like something unusual and something very important, something that always accompanied him. He finally grinned knowing what it was.
"Oh, does anyone know why Evans didn't come in?" The atmosphere of the class instantly became silent.
.
.
.
"Pulse. Hey." Sapa Evans to his new compatriot, looks a rather awkward and heavy atmosphere there.
Evans took the initiative because he felt the need to, they were always quiet and different from the others.
A beautiful woman with short and brown hair was pecking and always looking ahead.
His proportioned body with bright black eyes as well as his milky-white skin made the perfect combination, he was Nesya Anindira.
"I guessed it. You think too much about Ney. Everything has passed. In this case I was wrong." Evans said with his face looking up at the ceiling and then turned to Ney. After a long time, their eyes met.
"Oh, not just that... Um..." Ney tried to refute Evans' words.
Indeed, like that Ney, he did not want to make people around him sad especially if Ney himself caused it.
"Ney, you're a good woman, meek and intelligent. You're over-thinking other people's feelings. You don't think we're gonna go back to what we used to be and I'm gonna hate you."
Looking at Evans' empty and dark eyes, he stared intently at Ney, leaving him a little frightened.
"You've known me for a long time, and so have I, now smile and show me your sweet smile." Evans first smiled broadly at Ney.
Ney replied with a small nod and slowly his face returned to normal. It is exactly this that suits him, inner Evans.
They then chatted and laughed, sometimes Ney also seemed to almost scream because of the ugliness of his compatriot.
Today may be Evans' last day to tease Ney, he may not be able to show sadness but in him, Evans feels distress because of it.
It is a shame that they cannot be lovers.
Anyone who sees it will think the same.
"They are the ideal couple."

Tomorrow, news begins to spread. There is a horrendous news in the school, two students in their school are selected to become players.
They were required to attend training and guidance for ten days, so the two chosen ones had to leave school and take up training.
Each disciple tried to guess who the person in question was but it was impossible, because seven people were not entering at that time.
While the government only gave permission to two people and of course the school kept it a secret. Both men and women, they were always talking about this news.
Ney who had been silent since felt a bad feeling because of his friend who was never seen.
Feelings of anxiety and worry emanated clearly on Ney's face, even making her pale.
The face of his friend filled Ney's mind.
In his heart Ney prayed that his bad feelings would never happen.
