Chapter 1-Long Zhang

“DONG SENG YOU BASTARD WHERE THE F*CK ARE YOU!” I was yelling from the top of my lungs as I was being chased through a forest by a legion of lvl 23 werewolves. “IF YOU DON’T HELP ME NOW YOU CAN FORGOT ABOUT THAT HOMEWORK!”

Ok so before I even start to tell my wonderful adventures let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Long Zhang and I am your everyday average virgin sixteen year old kid. I am 5’6 but I usually tell people I’m 5’7. That little inch makes all the difference with the ladies so I heard. I liked basketball until I joined the varsity team in high school and I warmed the bench nicely for my fellow peers. After 16 games of bench warming I quit and decided to pursue other sports. I still play and kick ass on the courts through just saying. I joined the tennis team next. I must say for a beginner I was pretty good in tennis. My father on the other hand didn't think so and called me a pussy which pretty much destroy my self esteem and I quit. I don't remember if football was next or soccer but it was one of those. In football I got decimated. In soccer after one practice I could barely walk so it was not the sport for me. The one thing that has been constant throughout my life is martial arts. My parents thought I needed something to protect myself so they signed me up for it since I was 6.

My best friend is Dong Seng. I usually call him Dongdong which annoys the hell out of him but I find it funny and it makes it happy looking at him suffer a bit. I know I’m evil right? Well if you have a friend that is 6 feet tall, athletic, incredible good looking and gets all the girls I would think you would enjoy it a bit too. Did you know that some of the girls even wrote a book about him and nicknamed him the white knight? What kind of crazy fan girl does that? What made it worse was I was nicked named the dark goblin. Like wtf? My looks may be average but it was still better than a goblin. I wouldn't mind if I was nicknamed the dark bunny but the dark goblin is going a bit to far isn't it? Basically I don't even remember how we became best of friends.

Is there anything else that I should talk about? Oh yes I remember now I got a C+ in my modern Chinese class. I failed in grammar so I am forced to write a log about my life each week and this is how it all started.

Nope! I lied this was not how it all started. It all started with my first love. Her name was Wenxin Zhou and she is so beautiful that if you took even a glance at her you would be in heaven. I was lucky enough to be with her since Kindergarten. She is 5’5, athletic, smart, beautiful, kind, sometimes a bit dorky, wears pink pansies, beautiful, and did I mention 5’5? For a sixteen year old she has a nice rack if I do say so myself. Furthermore she is the Princess of our school and basically have a legion of minions following her around. I lied its not a legion but a whole f*cking army. Excuse my language but some girls even turn lesbian because of her. No offense to all the lesbians of the world because I get turn on by you ladies in certain videos. Anyway a bit off topic but basically if she told you to die you would obey it like a message from God or Goddess in this case. So yeah it's an unrequited love.

Alright so enough about all this and lets get on with the story. It all started about a week ago or maybe two weeks ago. I was in school like usual. I go to Tiandi high school. It is one of the most elite high school in the Fujian province. Oh by the way this the date is January 12, 3016. I live in the United Province of China. Back to the story. My first class in the morning was AP calculus and did I mention I love math? Well I do.

Wenxin walks into math class with her girl friends as graceful and beautiful as always. Her hair was tied up into a pony tail. So adorable I just want to give her a hug. Sigh. The whole class’s attention was also on her. The guys were basically drooling like wolves and the nerds were nose bleeding. I was in my seat all cool and barely paying her any attention at all. Yeah I know I am awesome. Nope, I was like all the other guys drooling over her but unlike the other guys I have a playboy friend that taught me some tricks. I was looking out the window but there is a reflection in the window that gave me the perfect view of her.

Did I tell you I love math class? Well I will say it again I loovvvvveee math class.

“Hey Long,” a chubby boy said. This chubby boy is Mapodofu. His parents has a weird sense of humor and named him after their favorite tofu dish. Yeah, I know. I feel really bad for him. If I had parents like that I would rather be homeschooled and block all contact with civilization. Maybe that is a bit extreme.

“Whats up?” I replied back.

“Did you get the answer…” I zoned out right there because my ears picked up a really interesting conversation over at Wenxin’s section.

“Hey Wenxin have you heard of the new virtual reality game that is coming out from the Heavenly corporation?” One of Wenxin’s friend said. This would be Cindy Yen talking. She was the number two beauty in the school. Her looks only lost to Wenxin by a 0.001 percent. Talk about close.

“Yes!” Wenxin squeals like a fan girl, “they say that it will have 99 percent realism and you can create your own skills and such in the game. This game took over 30 years to make and that over 1000 Physicist, martial artist, and all the professions you can think of in the world together to make this game. I can’t wait until it comes out next week!”

“Did they release the title of the game yet?” another girl asks.

“No, it is a top guarded secret. I have no idea why through,” another girl answers in disbelief.

I found the conversation interesting but the problem is I have no idea what they are talking about. I know what they are saying orally but you see I have never played a virtual reality game before in my life. Maybe a couple times when I was over at my friend’s house but aside from that no. Virtual reality has been a thing since 2138. When the first helmet came out in 2016 by Oculus rift it was a bit lacking. It was all the rage back then but it quickly became a fad because well it was too weak. The realism was lacking by quite a bit. It was similar to walking into a 3D room so I have heard. It wasn't until someone invented the brain sensors that it became really exciting. Basically these sensors pick up on certain wavelengths in your brain and alone your body to move in the game the  same way. They manage to perfect this by 2138 and thats why it was all the rage. The sad part was you still had to be awake for it. Well, 878 years has passed since then and it was finally perfected 60 years ago. We are now able to fully dive into the game and our brain in reality will be unconscious but our minds will be fully conscious in game. My parents are really strict about that stuff. Especially since after they watched a documentary about the possibility of your brain being fried, being trapped and everything negative about it.

“You know whoever is number one in the game I think I would be love with him,” Wenxin jokes.. She was probable imagining some Knight in shiny armors on a white steed riding along and scooping her up off her feet like a real princess.

My years perked up and my brain was fried.

“What if he is ugly like a pig?” Cindy asks in a joking way.

“Well…. I’m sure he won’t be that ugly.”

“Well what if he is? Oh and he is fat, gross and everything?”

“Um number two then?” Wenxin shrugs awkwardly.

My looks are average. I wouldn't say I am gross. I am physically fit, and pretty smart to be in this school. My little dragon is also decent size so I should be fine right?

“Class sit down we will began now,” said our math teacher. I forgot his name. Most of the kids here just call him Mr. M.
