I was just an average player—neither bad nor good, neither a noob nor a pro. I was an ordinary person with no ambitions, just a simple dream of enjoying the games I played.
My name is Leo, and I am 16 years old. The unfortunate reality is that I am completely blind. The cause of my blindness is a combination of issues with my retina and cornea, some kind of damage to my eyes. Recently, I started developing a type of calcification in my eyes that has no cure.
My life has been average in every way. Everything about me is unremarkable, except for my academic grades, which people say make me a genius. The truth is, I don’t care about my average gaming skills, my programming abilities, or even my remarkable talent for converting information that needs to be memorized into something I can understand deeply.
The harsh reality is that I am extremely bored of playing video games—or should I say audio games. To be honest, I play both. I know many video games that I love and wish to buy, but what can I say? These are games accessible to the blind, and the surprising thing is that one of the popular games is among them. Frankly, blind games are trash, and it’s astonishing that I still play them.
What do you say about an average programmer with his quirky team whose goal is to revolutionize the world of the blind?

In a medium-sized room surrounded by neatly arranged sofas, in the corner leading to the main door of the house, sits a teenage boy about 172 cm tall, with fair skin and short black hair, typing on his laptop's keyboard at an impressive speed, wearing earphones, and talking to his friends.
“Well, my friend, what do you suggest we do then?”
“Nothing, the solution is to remove some codes from the server and add them in an orderly manner,” replied a voice from the earphones.
“Alright, do you want to teach me how to write these codes?” Leo asked bravely.
“Okay, wait for me to let you hear my screen reader,” said the voice.
“Leo, it's time for bed,” interrupted Leo’s mother, calling him to sleep.
“Alright, Mom, just five more minutes,” Leo responded.
“No, you have to go to school,” his mother said firmly.
“Okay, okay. Mark, I'm going now. We'll meet later,” Leo said to his friend.
“Alright, Leo, we’ll meet later,” Mark replied.

Hello, everyone. This is my first novel, and I must put in a lot of effort to write it. English is not my first language, so I am using artificial intelligence to translate it from my language to English.
