CHAPTER 1
"Come on, it's still at two downloads? Why is no one playing my masterpiece?" A man who sat at his workbench lamented in a sorrowful tone as he took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. He had been on his computer for hours, and his eyes were red with bags under them."It's been three years since the Aero game was released on Eyeplay, and no one has yet to download it," the man known as Everett Lang muttered as he leaned back in his chair, eyes glued to the screen.Everett was a 23-year-old avid gamer who was a professional in all types of RPG and survival games. But among all the games he played, his favorite was Blood Battlefield.A game that was launched seven years ago and quickly gained popularity within a few weeks. In less than two weeks, the game already had a total of one billion downloads on Eyeplay, and every individual around the country and beyond was addicted.Everett was one of the addicts. He played the game on his outdated personal computer day in and day out, and he
CHAPTER 2
"Mr. Daniel D. Davis." Everett read the name of the person who just downloaded his game, and he recognized the name instantly. The name DDD was very popular around the world because he created the game Blood Battlefield."Wait, DDD actually downloaded my game? My idol noticed my work and decided to give it a try!" Everett screamed out loud once again, and the people around him lost their cool and began to shout."Hey, shut up already!""Are you a lunatic or what?""What are you, 5?"Everett ignored their words as his eyes were glued to his screen with a joyous look evident on his face, and at the same time, he felt nervous.The one man that inspired him to create his own game three years ago had now downloaded his game and was about to give it a try."Oh my God. This is the best day of my life. But why do I feel so nervous?" Everett muttered as he glanced at his phone's screen.His aim for opening the Eyeplay app in the first place was to delete his game from the app, but after seein

The bus finally pulled over after arriving at its destination. Everett got off the bus and glanced around the area he now found himself in."I already asked Alice to meet me here, so she'll be here any minute," Everett mused as he walked towards a nearby wall and stood to wait.Alice was Everett's colleague at work, and while he was on the bus, he managed to convince her to meet him here. Everett did well to leave out some details, afraid of how she might react.Everett leaned his back on the wall and took out his phone to play some games until she arrived. The anticipation inside him was killing him, and all he needed now was a distraction.While Everett stood there playing his game, the sound of a vehicle driving towards him caught his attention. He turned off his phone and shifted his gaze towards the direction of the sound."She's here already. That's quick," Everett muttered to himself as he saw a car driving towards him. He couldn't see what car it was exactly since the lights w

"Yes, sir. Working with you will be a dream come true," Everett responded instantly without thinking twice."That's good. I played your game; it was really nice and had levels and attributes that I have never seen in any other game. It will be nice to have someone like you on board," Mr. Daniel responded. "All you have to do now is input your full name and gaming code, and we shall get down to business."Mr. Daniel then turned his computer towards Everett, who swiftly typed in his full name and code and hit the accept button."Done, sir," Everett informed. Mr. Daniel glanced at the computer and smirked."Good, now we wait to see if it worked," Mr. Daniel spoke, pointing towards the wall clock on his right-hand side. Everett shifted his gaze to the clock; it was eleven fifty-eight pm."What do you mean? Wait for what?" Everett questioned with a puzzled expression upon hearing Mr. Daniel's words. But the response he got was a smirk. "What's going on? What are we waiting for?"Everett q
CHAPTER 5
"That's impossible!" Mr. Daniel exclaimed as he shifted his gaze back to the gruesome scene happening downstairs. His expression wasn't the one Everett was expecting after he had just told him something that sounded crazy.The expression on Mr. Daniel's face was one of shock and disappointment. It was almost as if he was expecting this, just not expecting it to be this way."No, the code was supposed to make my game dominate yours and then, with my game dominating yours, it would have enough power to clash with reality and make the Blood Battlefield into the new reality. But somehow, your code was able to dominate mine, and now your game, The Aero Game, is a reality!" Mr. Daniel grabbed his head, with buckets of sweat trickling down his face, and his white suit was now drenched in sweat.A puzzled expression appeared on Everett's face after hearing Mr. Daniel's words. It was almost like he was talking gibberish."What do you mean? I don't understand!" Everett questioned."There's no t
CHAPTER 6
"All I need to do now is to not act exactly how I play in the game, but to think like it is the real world and my life and everyone else's life depends on it. So if you are ready to follow my lead, then I might just be capable of saving you and a few others." Everett spoke up with a determined look.Mr. Daniel nodded his head in affirmation. Even if Mr. Daniel created The Blood Battlefield game and the Aero game was inspired by his game, the Aero game was still very complex and tougher than the Blood Battlefield. Everett did well to make each level tough with little odds of survival.Unlike many other survival games that make levels one to ten easy so players could get a handle on the game.The Aero game doesn't seem to work that way. The real deal begins from level one, and even though Everett was the creator, he still died several times while playing this particular level.Surviving will be really tough, but he knew he had to do it because a timer would soon appear. A timer of five

Everett swiftly grabbed a wooden table and dashed forward. When the lizard was about to bite his head, Everett shoved the wooden table into its mouth, causing it to bite the table instead of Mr. Daniel.The lizard crushed the table instantly with its fangs and shifted its gaze toward Everett instead of Mr. Daniel."Damn it," Everett gulped as three giant lizards surrounded him with nowhere to run. "Mr. Daniel, let's figure out a way to escape!" Everett glanced at where Mr. Daniel had been standing, only to find him running away, leaving him behind."He seriously just left without me? That scumbag! After I risked my life to save him, this is how he repays me?" Everett exclaimed, his blood boiling with anger as he watched Mr. Daniel run away.SLASH!While Everett struggled to figure out how to escape, one of the giant vicious lizards lashed its long, razor-sharp tongue toward him, slashing his chest and sending him flying.Everett flew across the room until he landed on a wooden desk, b

Everett's eyelids began to lift open slowly as he regained consciousness. Finally fully awake, he examined the area he found himself in. It seemed like he was in the back of a delivery truck with several other people.What they all had in common was the chain binding their hands."Shit. I have been captured by the perilous military," Everett intoned as he quickly understood what was going on.In the Aero game he created, during level one, if the player fails to complete the level within a certain time, a powerful group of soldiers known as the perilous military would appear and abduct the survivor.The military is known as operatives of the government in the game, a group that captures avatars and forces them to complete missions for the government to earn points and rank up.What surprised Everett the most was why the perilous military arrived way before the level one even ended. They were supposed to show up at the end of the level to conclude it and begin a whole new level, but for
CHAPTER 9
Everett swiftly turned around after hearing the man's words, and he saw the monster now inches away from him. Unable to move out of the way, Everett lifted up his right arm, and the monster sunk its find into it and caused blood to be drawn.Everett screamed in pain as the monster bit his arm and kept clenching its fangs, attempting to bite it off. Everett screamed in pain as he swung his arms around and was able to knock the monster off and sent out a kick that struck the head cleanly and killed the bastard.Everett pamted heavily while glancing at his arm that was injured and bleeding. "Dammit. I got bit by a Demo Pox. I'll definitely turn. Goddamn it!" Everett panicked as he fell on his knees and shifted his gaze to the rest of the group as some of them were getting eaten by the monsters, while some were trying their best to survive.Even the Perilous military were out of bullets and began to fight with their fists and blades. With them running out of bullets, some of the militar
CHAPTER 10
The rugged man with tattoos who sat across the box voiced out as he couldn't stand Everett's nonstop whispers with the skinny man."Shut up already!"Everett shifted his gaze to the man whose face was already bright red in anger."I recognize this guy's face. He is one of the characters I designed in the Aero game. Why did I have to be in the same truck with an asshole like him? Could this get any worse?" Everett pondered internally with a pissed-off look as he remembered the personality he gave this particular man in his game.And the personality was that of a murderer. In short, this particular man didn't value human life."The characters in the game are beginning to appear one by one. First it was Mr. Daniel, which I created after being inspired by DDD himself; second is this rugged thug named Vodka." Everett mused, with his fingers rubbing his chin in contemplation as he crawled back to where he once sat."Vodka shouldn't have appeared until level three, but for some reason, he is
