Every damn day, these days of high school life. The first day of high school is where a person is given a chance to make their debut and make their standing in their high school life.
And I screwed it all up. I hate myself for it.
Every day is the same.
In the morning I go to school, I get bullied. In the afternoon after I leave school, I get bullied. At home is where I could comfort myself.
Why. Why I am bullied?
Because I lend a hand to help someone out of good will. I remember karma is purpose to be a thing where if you do good things then good things will happen what. Guess what I did a good thing and karma fucking bit my hand.
On the first day of high school, I saw someone getting bullied, and I tried to help and then I became targeted by the bullying. In fact the person who was being bullied was now in fact apart of the bullies that were harassing me now.
Hate this world. This world is boring and pisses off. It's all the same day every day. The only time I could be in peace is at home.
My name is Rou Lie.
I am a half Chinese and half Vietnamese who living in America. I am a single child raised by a single hardworking father.
Is this it about life. My ability in education is remarkably average. Meaning I can't get anywhere in life. My social life is practically destroyed by bullying. Is this really it about my life.
Even if I get to college after high school. What would I do being pressured by debt? I don't have any motivation of doing anything in life. Doing the same job as my dad is pretty much redundant. Since the reason he working so hard for is so I can get a better job than him.
One day at home, a message pop up on my computer.
Do you believe this is the limit of life? Do you want to live ... a true life?
Rou: "Of course I do, who wouldn't want to live a true life."
Thinking it was just a joke. As long as I don't click to download anything I probably don't get a virus out of it.
If it's a link to a porn website, I guess I have to erase my history again.
I clicked yes anyways, because what could possibly even happen but a virus.

Dirt. I was feeling dirt on the ground with my hands and face. I was too used to sensation of dirt after all especially when I'm on the ground.
What I was expecting next when I was getting up from the ground was a punch straight to the face. To my pleasure, that fortunately did not happen as I begin to stand up.
As I look around in panic, I saw a large building, several stories
tall, its walls still skeletal, unfinished. A middle-aged man who look like a hunter from the jungles was leaning on the building.
Hunter: "Oi, kid you finally up aren't ya."
Rou: "Who are you, and more importantly where are we? And why are we in a jungle area?"
Hunter: "Well, aren't ya a curious one there, people die when they ask questions like that."
I made a gulping sound at the response of that.
Hunter: "I don't mind at all. Let me be honest with you kid. I don't know where the fuck we are, but I think this calm looking gentleman has an idea here right next to me."
Next to him?!
I look across from the hunter guy and saw a man in a tuxedo and glasses. He looks like he's a serious business man.
Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.
4 other people that were near me begin to wake up. I think one of them was half-asleep still.
Businessman: "7 people. It's a 7 man difficulty. Ha ha. This is quite joyous."
Rou: "What are you saying?"
What the hell he's going on about here.
Hunter: "I agree with the kid, mind explaining here the details you know."
Businessman: "Sorry,sorry but you guys should first think carefully."
'Think carefully'
Those words resounded within my mind. Then I remembered about that question "Do you believe this is the limit of life? Do you want to live ... a true life?"
Then I recalled something. What is a true life? A true life could mean this life we were currently living in is a fake reality. Like the Matrix.
Could this be virtual reality? No. It can't because clicking a message can suddenly transport a person to a virtual world. There's a chance that the world we were originally living in is a virtual world and that we finally came out to the real world.
Before I was going to say the question out loud.
Hunter: "Want to know the meaning of life? Want to live ... A real life?"
Businessman: "Bingo. You hit it right on the mark."
What?! Then what was my question then?
Fat man: "Is this a fucking reality t.v. show or something?"
Businessman: "Well let's continue on here. (Ignoring the fat man) Well I believe I am only one who can explain the situation here.
First, I carefully warn you all that you guys shouldn't try to die here. Cause dying equate to death even here."
Hunter: "No shit Sherlock."
I nodded my head. 2 other people nodded with me.
Fat man: "Well I don't believe you telling the truth here. I bet you guys are all scheming something. I don't want to listen to your crap.
The fat man storms off in direction away from us.
Businessman: "Well I prefer newbies who are cautious at least.
Alright but let me continue now after that rude interruption. If you guys look at the black bracelet on your wrist you can see a message there.
