It was a dark and cold night. Rain fell down from the sky. A boy was walking on the street and was happy with his purchase. He was excited to play the new game he bought and his mind was filled with nothing but expectations. The boy didn’t mind getting wet by the rain as he hummed happily home.

His day has been quite good so far. The boy and his friends were the first ones to clear a raid in a popular online game and now, he bought the latest game in his favorite series. Despite waiting for hours just to get a copy of the game, he felt happy. If it weren’t for the rain, his day would be perfect. Nothing could possibly go wrong for him.

Or so he thought.

The boy suddenly flew as light shone on him. He was knocked a few meters away and bounced a few times like a ball before finally landing on the ground. It took a few seconds before the pain registered.

Red liquid appeared in his vision. He couldn’t move his body. Judging from how he felt like a refrigerator just hit him, he thought that he was a victim of a car accident.

He was having trouble breathing. The rain didn’t help since it made him feel cold. His vision was slowly dimming.

My game, those were his last thoughts before the darkness claimed him.
