“Insaisana! Get up bro!” Is what I hear first thing in the morning. Well, that’s if you consider 1:42 morning. As a person with no job and not going to school, I have a lot of freetime to sleep in.
“Whaat?” I answer groggily
“Let’s go smoke”
“Aight be down in a few”
This was a routine for me. Brother comes home after high school is over for him, wakes me up to go smoke, then anything from there. Being a medical marijuana patient, I smoke almost everyday. It doesn’t help that my brother is also one of the biggest deals for weed around the area, selling them from dimes to ounces. So almost everyday we have people over to smoke, hangout, or buy weed.
After I get out of bed, I look in the mirror next to my door to look at myself. Black oily hair, dark eyes that see all, glasses to cover them, and a mouth with a smile that disguises the ever seeing eyes. Standing at about 6’2, I was a very tall Asian. Taller than my older brother and my father. I don’t know where my height comes from, but being tall comes with many advantages that my forefathers just didn’t have.
After throwing on shorts and a t-shirt, I proceed to go downstairs and into the backyard where my brother awaits. As I get my bong out and ready, I notice the sky darken. Being in Oregon, I just thought of it as a simple change of weather, as the weather changes in a moments notice. My thoughts were quickly changed into confusion as I look up to see no clouds. The sun was missing as well for a few seconds. In those few seconds, the world was dark. Then out of nowhere, the sun appears and flashes red then back to its normal color. I then notice a red flare from the sun coming towards our planet. In moments, the red flash passed by me and my brother. I quickly check myself for injuries and notice nothing different. Soon after, I notice a gathering of yellow light particles 5 feet from me. As it conjured, I gripped my bong. My bong was a 16” tall, thick ass glass. Soon in the particles of light, a nasty looking green creature appeared before me. It looked like a midget that got plastic surgery to make himself more hideous. Right away, because of my gamer knowledge, I knew it was a goblin, so I swung my bong down hard down towards its head. After knocking it towards the ground, I heard a low growl and I knew my job was not done. I bashed its head in multiple times before it stopped moving and a yellow glob of light floats above it. Grabbing at it, assuming it was what it was: Exp.
Right after I grab it, a popup came up
Level Up!
And soon a few other popups came as well

Looking over at my brother, he just stares at me with his mouth open. About 5’10 skinny as fuck, with a nicely shaped head, my brother was above average in looks. I say to him “Dim. I think I have an idea of what’s going on”
“What the fuck?! What the fuck was that thing? Where did it come from? Why did you kill it”
“Shut the fuck up for a bit will you. I think we’re in a game”
“The fuck? What do you mean?”
“Just open up your interface with your mind. Its like a video game”
Right after I told him so, he then has shocked eyes. I'm guessing he opened it and was surprised. I too opened my status up.

“This is fucked bro” says Dim
“I know. We need to find weapons immediately. It’s a good thing i keep a katana huh bro. Told you some fucking apocalypse was gonna happen. Not exactly zombies, but i’ll manage”
I then ran back up into my room and grabbed my katana off the wall. Unsheathing it, revealing a blade sharp as a razor and a smile across my face. Right after my savage grin, I heard a loud “Fuck!”.
Knowing that it's my brother downstairs, I rush out of my room and notice as I look over the railing that a goblin was at the front door. Jumping off the railing, I swung my sword overhead and straight down the shoulder and through half its body. Without waiting to make sure it's dead, I ran into the kitchen where I see my brother with a kitchen knife and a long gash over his chest and left arm. I look to see what he was fighting and it looked like a werewolf standing on its two hind feet. Without any delay, while my brother was distracting him, I ran and cut the back of the werewolfs feet, severing the hamstrings and forcing it on the floor. I then proceeded to behead it. Unfortunately, its fur was too thick and I failed to cut through. The werewolf then swing backwards. Seeing it coming too fast to dodge, I tried to parry it with my katana. Luckily my blade met in between the werewolfs fingers severing half its hand off. While it was howling in pain, my brother then jumps and stabs down with both hands onto the wolf’s head. Barely breaking through the skull and impaling the brain, the wolf’s life fades away. A yellow green light then comes towards my chest and next thing I know, I leveled up. Ignoring the popup, I go to see my brothers condition. He was bleeding profusely across his chest and arm. His guts and organs were spilling out as he leaned against the dishwasher.
“Bro, I know i’m going to die. Too much blood loss. Too little organs in me. Heh. Just leave me and go find the ones you love and need to protect.”
“Bro… sorry i couldn’t come fast enough..”
“Naw *coughs up blood* this was my fault for being stupid and trying to take on a werewolf with 2 kitchen knives”
I look at his right hand to see a blooded knife, then looked at the werewolf to see another knife stuck in its side.
“Heh you showed him bro” I give him a small grin before he exhales his last breath.
Standing up, I looked down at my brother with tears appearing before my eyes. I then punched thru one of the cupboards with anger in my eyes. “Protect… protect the ones I love…I’ll do it for you bro” I gave my dead brother one last look before I left. Instead of looking at him with all knowing eyes, my eyes had darkened a bit, giving off a dead feeling.
“Time to go get sis” I said to myself as I startup my car.
