The novel will use obscure characters names derived from peoples their online usernames for my writing convenience. so the characters will rarely use real names inside the game, so just keep that in mind to not get confused later. okay enjoy !!

Friday , 30th MAY , 2035, It was as normal a day as one could be. There was hustle-bustle on the streets of various countries. Adults were going to their jobs , children to school and housewifes cleaning their homes . But the most important thing to our story is that people were playing games !
Streamers , gamers , game testers , speedrunners , reviewers and gaming media outlets were all at work. The gaming industry in recent times had expanded because of a new , cheap and good quality VR gaming capsule , the capsule was released as a way to make VR games more accessible and it was a meteoric success, destroying every other VR console at the time. It now had a monopoly over the market and had already sold over 1 billion capsules globally.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a popular gaming forum a AD for an new game came up.
- Play the newest , best and most realistic VR game that has been released up until now !!
it was provided with a link but not a trailer nor picture which , was almost a norm for these types of ads, so people just thought it was a scam and skipped past it. But someone did press that link on that day.
The first player of the game, a player that would go down in history and would become a legend - Danno
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" it looks relatively new , with zero downloads ? looks like i will the first guy to try this out ! " Danno said as he looked at ' Blanks ' game page - (Blank is the games name )
as soon as the game finished downloading he went inside his VR capsule and loaded the game on.
As soon as he entered the world he could not help but be amazed !
his eyes felt as though they had been rejuvenated with life ! he saw an absolutely beautiful scenery in front of him that even his soul could feel.
A thick patch of trees surrounded a long and narrow river, little leaves flew out of the tree as strong , cold winds hit them. Little crow like birds flew out into the sun , in the background , a shrill but sure sound of little insects came into his ears as well.
Danno took a deep breath and felt his lungs rejuvenate with new energy as the most fresh air he had breathed up to this point in his life entered his lungs.
" what the hell is this ? " he thought
" is this not supposed to be a obscure game with zero downloads ? why does this feel so real !?!?!? " he thought to himself again
he dashed out of his starting location and ran up to a tree. He looked upon himself and saw that he was wearing light clothes from head to toe and had a sort of leather belt from which a small, stone axe was hanging.
He instinctively grabbed the axe and gripped it with both of his hands and with full force began striking the tree , as the axe struck the tree , weirdly he felt relaxed and at peace.
after about half an hour he was finally done chopping the tree , the tree fell down with a huge THUD! as the stump and the upper part of the tree were separated.
huffing for air Danno looked at the fallen tree with a weird sense of accomplishment.
" what the hell do i do now ? " a question popped up in his mind
" what can i do with this ? " he though , but then he noticed that he also had a small stone hammer and a sharp pointed stone tied to a stick , probably for carving the wood
After inspecting the tools Danno first tried to carve the wood into something , anything useful but his patience ran out and he ended up carving some stick figures (1 ) on the wood instead . he then decided to go to the river as he was getting nothing done.
he went near the river and took a sip of the water there, the water was cold and amazingly fresh.
" I can't get anything done alone ! i need to get the others ! " he exclaimed and went off the game to call his friends
( In the group chat )
- Danno - HEY GUYS !! i just found this game ! its too damn good but i need help to get shit done ! Please joint fast !!!
- Coalberet - Sorry but I am really busy at the moment and have no time to join.
- Bottle_cap3 - I am playing another game at the moment so later...
- banjodude - DON'T DISTURB ME WHILE I AM WATCHING ANIME !
- Danno - To all my dear friends I just want you all to know that I am in possession of all your search histories ;) so , FOR THE LAST GODDAMN TIME ! GET ON THE GAME OR YOU WILL FACE MY WRATH !
- Sword_bear - Looks like Danno is pretty serious about this game otherwise he would not use this despicable trick to make us play !
- Bottle_cap3 - Please for the love of god don't do that brother !! i will go to heaven and earth for you !
- Coalberet - Shit ! , he has pulled out his trump card ! i have no other option than to join.
- banjodude - the game better not be shit or i am leaking this group chat !! HA ! That's right I have this entire chat downloaded for dumb ass situations like this. I won't let you all waste my precious anime watching time !
- Sword_bear - I think banjo is going insane...
- Coalberet - He already is insane, no need to be surprised and I think I'm going to be next if I look at this group chat longer ! Quickly sent the god damn download link !!
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Danno - DAMN! another one of you has a trump card !? ehh , forget that i promise with with all my credibility that this is THE BEST GOD DAMN GAME !!
Coalberet - well your credibility is uhm... honestly shit. but ! i will trust you this one time , don't let me down.
After this Danno sent them the download link and they all went to the download page.
" what the hell is this ? Danno did say it was a obscure game but ONLY 1 DOWNLOAD !? and do the devs hate their own freaking game ? where THE HELL is the trailer or even DESCRIPTION !? " Coalberet thought as he downloaded the game " I bet the game is horrible "
All the others were of a similar opinion. they all thought that the game would be terrible since it was so sketchy and weird. All of them wanted to scold and beat the shit out of Danno when they got in the game. they had absolutely no expectation for the game whatsoever.
Danno had already joined the game again and was busy exploring the littel jungle he had spawned in.
After some time he had rough idea of the little jungle.
" There are mostly trees in the jungle and the small river I saw earlier. There is also a very dark patch somewhere in the middle of the forest as some tall trees were covering the sunlight " Danno recollectet
Also by that time his friends had also joined the game and spawned in the same location as him.
Danno quickly went to group up with them , but he saw them in a state of daze as soon as they joined the game.
" Wooh ! Why does touching grass feel so good ? Is this what people meant when they told me to touch some grass ? " Banjodude said as he touched , smelled and even tasted... some of the grass of the ground
" These tools !!! Such profound crafting ! The stones are of the highest quality and so is the wood ! " Coalberet said as he admired the tools
" Damn ! The air feels so fresh , i didn't know the wilderness was so magical ! " Sword_bear said as he was sucked into the world
" How can a game be of such high quality be so obscure !?! I bet all the stremers and gameing companies would give a arm and a leg for this type of game ! " Bottle_cap3
" This game has just been out for like 2 hours , I think it will take much longer for people to join, but once they start finding out about this game the players will flood in " Danno reasoned
After that they decided to start by building a house for safety as they did not know what would happen at nightfall.

( But they were not the only ones to have discovered the game.... )
" Hello everybody ! In this live stream we will continue our series of finding obscure and probably , shit games ! This series has been getting a lot of support so I hope you enjoy this episode of it as well ! " Said BOXU
BOXU was a small streamer , only getting around 30 viewers per stream, but he loved his viewers and his viewers loved him.
He and his small community had many inside jokes and often joked around.
- thanks for the stream as always !
- your stremes always make my day better
- BOXU what will you eat this time in the game ?
BOXU often found a lot of games where you could eat things , so this became a joke where he would only find eateing games.
" today we will play ' Blank ' the link to the game has been sent in the chat , since this is a multiplayer game i think it will be more fun to play with you guys "
BOXU often talked heavily while playing games , But as soon as he joined the game he could not utter a single word.
Boxu had worn glasses since a young age but this time in game he finally took them off and he could see the world in all its glory.
The scenery was as clear as the day the water looked nothing like reality and the forest he was stareing at seemed to draw him in with its lively green image.
Tears sparng from his eyes as he was overwhelmed by all this.
- wait , why is BOXU crying !?
- I can't bear to watch my hero cry !
- please tell us what happened, we will definitely help !
- wait is the game so bad its makeing BOXU cry ??
- we will destroy the game maker for makeing our dear BOXU cry !
BOXU say the messages and was shcoked , then he realized he was in selfie mode so the viewers could only see him and not the scenery.
He quickly switched to eyes mode ( what ever his eyes saw ) and the viewers could not belive what they were seeing.
- looks like my eyes were just dropped in holy water and put back on !
- how can a game look this real ? Isn't this better than 4k ?
- the popular games cant even compare to this !
- how is this a trash game ?!?!?
- as a person who has wore glasses all his life i can say that if i saw this scenery even i would cry like this !
Immediately many people went to play the game with BOXU and they joined in.
BOXU greeted them all and they were ready to start playing , but then they heard noises in the distance.
" we should probably explore the noises before we do anything " BOXU said worriedly
" yeah there could be anything out there for all we know "
" i volunteer to be in the front since i know a little boxing "
" i also volunteer cause i want to protect senpai BOXU "
so all of them made there way towards the noise and a after a while they arrived at a clearing. the noises became clearer and they saw 5 people.
" Danno get my my god damn tools !! "
" you don't have to scream every time , i'm not deaf idiot !! "
