The house had begun to fall on it self, at that exact moment, they only had ten seconds of the game time, to find the clue around the house before it was completely taken down by the fire from the volcano eruptionn. Raymond tried all his bedt from the very first start, but his body was covered with sweat running from his head and arms down to his toes. He had one last try to find out what the clue was or they all met their end in the game world. Eventually, it meant their deaths in substantial life. The game simply had 'No way out.' The rules of the games were simple; it was either you struggled to complete it or the player died to end the game. Hayden, never wanted any of his family to go that option. Thereupon extensively making an effort, Raymond had to evacuate struggling, he attempted everything excluded in the game, but ultimately, nothing appears to be working out.

Without a doubt, he just sat down on a stool that was in the front of the entire room. He overlooked the floor and held his head with his two hands. His thoughts had already intoxicated his actions to act. He didn't believe he could do it anymore, he held up his head and turned to his right-hand side only to see his father, struggling to get the rope off his body. On the other side, his sister and mother struggle with all their might to hold on to the last floor that reminds them of the toom. Subconsciously, after he turned to look at what was in front, something caught his eye. It was a painting of a man, it looked straightforwardly at him. Slowly but quite steadily, he stood up from the chair and walked towards the picture, he eventually got close, and a very little illumination of light flashed his eyes when he looked at it. Raymond became curious, he felt something was behind the picture, 'But what?' he asked himself while he went closer to have a better look at it but as he got closer to the picture, the illustration on the illumination became brighter through the eyes of the picture. "Something is behind this wall! I must know what it's!..." He said to himself inwardly. Gently, Raymond extended his hand and held the picture, he brought it down slightly slower than normal, his thoughts were right, and through the eyes, lies the answers they seek. The picture was the answer the whole time. "Dad! I found it, I found it!!" Raymond exclaimed, "Yeah, so I will finally get out of this game" Raymond had his hope up at the wrong time; inside the wall where the picture was placed, three things were also placed inside the wall. Firstly, it was a timer, it had the time of the players in the game and once it went off, the game was over. Secondly was the key to the next level of the game and only a player or players who found it could find themselves in the next level. Third, it was a stone, and if you had it, you could go back to the past. He stood confusedly in front of the options thinking about what to choose between all three of them, two things hovered in his thoughts, firstly, he didn't want to die just yet and secondly, his family was his greatest responsibility, both of them were important to him. Shortly afterward, the time got almost to its peak, and when it struck noon on the dots, the game would be over without a second chance. Out of the 11:59 and three seconds, he had to act fast. Finally, his mind was all made up, he immediately took the time stone as the time straightly struck noon. Everywhere became blank…

Subsequently, the sun was rising shortly after a very terrible and heavy storm, for it was hot like it had been rising all through the entire year. It seemed to be a new day of the morning in a mysterious and anonymous world. The scorching sun burned aggressively, . It hit the barren land causing heat and dryness in the deserted desert. Shortly after the temperature came down, the brightness of the sky and the sunlight that shone on the entire family, made them open their eyes slowly only to find their self-explanatory lying on the bare ground in the middle of a deserted desert.The environment was unfamiliar to them all. Even though the land was deserted, It seems more beautiful than the real world. Immediately, Hayden noticed that the environment looked exactly like the one he made. Raymond had stood up earlier before them, he walked to the rest of them and helped them up. His father stood up to his feet without help of Raymond. After much standing in the middle of where they found themselves, there wasn't any sign of help coming, no one came to their rescue. They had to move from there when they saw it was becoming late, they moved and tried to walk towards where they could find help. However, their staggered became harder as they went fell, it got to the point where their legs couldn't take the pains from walking under the desert without water, and they all fell back to the ground after much staggering. Hayden could still feel the pains in his head and all over his body while still on the ground. Then without delay, their eyes closed and they passed out. 

"Dad! Dad!! Open your eyes…" Raymond tried waking up his father from his dream state.The echo rang inside his head, he heard the call from a distance between a slight space from his thoughts. He woke up and saw an anonymous man sitting close to him on the ground. He used his hands to massage his head with a piece of cloth soaked with water. His eyes were finally opened and he could see clearly. The middle-aged man quickly noticed that Hayden's eyes were now open, he stopped what he was doing and fell to his knees. "Your majesty!!" The man immediately addressed Hayden as his king. Hayden, looked curious about what the man called him, he knew he wasn't a king, and he still couldn't remember the setup of the gaming, soon, series of questions came to his mind, but does questions wasn't that important to him at that moment, all he wanted to know was where he was. "Ummm…! Where am I? How did we get here?" He asked out of curiously.

"Welcome to the badlands!" The man replied to one of Hayden's questions. He continued by saying, "No one comes here and goes alive''....

And in what seemed like no time at all, it began to rain chits.She cried with the intention of drawing the attention of a member of his family to the nest that was packed with chits.They all dashed in the direction of the nest, which was still releasing chits in a variety of colours with curiosity. At first, they all were confused about which colour of the scrap of paper they should select. Emily held the hand of Raymond when he was to pick the chit randomly. She guided him that choosing something at random might put them in a precarious situation.

The sky was clear, and the temperature was just right.He was confident that things would have returned to how they were before and that, in a short amount of time, people would forget about that occurrence as a nightmare.When he turned his head to check to his left and right, he discovered that all three of them were soundly sleeping on the hard floor under the shade of the tree without using any pillows or cushions. He held out hope that his family would come to the conclusion that the action he had taken to save the city was the appropriate one. He made it such that they could sleep undisturbed for a little bit longer. He was aware that their lives were likely to get more challenging in the days ahead.On the other hand, he was certain that the four of them could overcome any difficulty that they encountered together. He was able to make

  • Chapter 20.Get set ready for the challenging trip

    Hayden had a difficult time persuading Raymond and Lily that it would be in the best interest of the people of the city if all four of them left the city as soon as they were allowed to do so. "Because, in some shape or form, we were each responsible for the occurrence of all of this, and we were the only ones who could make things right again." When he told them that they would have to start making plans to move on to the next globe rather than this city, he was met with a lot of criticism and roasting.Hayden furthermore explained to them,"That world will be utterly unique in comparison to this one. Although we are going to have to face a wide variety of dangers in the other realm, they are going to do so with bravery.."Both Raymond and Lily were having a hard time understanding anything that their father was saying to them one after the other. He continued by telling them, "It is I, and you three together, perhaps we are the only ones who can stop those barbaric men from wreaking

    Hayden was getting ready for work in the early morning hours when he received the call. He got the news over the phone that some aliens belonging to some medieval age had invaded the city and were on a mission to destroy everything in it. Nobody knew where they came from, but it was clear that they did not have the welfare of the city in mind when they arrived, and nobody could explain why. Hayden was unable to believe what he had just heard at that moment, he was under the impression that someone was playing a cruel prank on him, so he immediately hung up the phone. He had the suspicion that the day in question would turn out to be one of the most significant days of his life, and he knew that he could not afford to be late for work.
