1 Chapter 1 - The Announcement
The young man was fleeing for his life, cursing himself for not taking the message he had received three days before seriously.
An ugly insect type of monster was chasing him.
He knows it was fatal when he saw a human being bitten by it explode 30 minutes ago.
***
Three days ago.
He was busy designing graphics for posting needed for his client.
He was feeling tired from the many revisions that the client requested.
So he played a game on his mobile phone.
Then he gets a notification that he has a message in his chatbox.
He checked it as a habit.
He was speechless when he read it. He dismissed it as a prank and ignored it.
[Shall We Play a Game?
If you win, your wish will be granted. However, if you lose, you will perish. Begins in 3 days]
There are many signs that he needs to take it seriously.
Many people in the world receive a similar message and post it on social media.
Sadly not many prepared and took the message seriously.
Three days later.
The young man was getting ready to take a bath then suddenly he received a message that shocked him.
A holographic message popped up in front of him.
It was like the same he sees and reads in novels and comics.
[The tutorial game for Desire Games will start in 5 minutes.
As a result, please read the details before the timer runs out.
Desire Games is where you can make your wish come true when you win the game.
However, failure means death.
This is a tutorial game, so the requirements will be lower than the standard requirements for Desire Games games.
It will ensure that you will have a high survival.
Please provide a name that will be displayed in public in a minute.
If you do not enter a public name, the system will generate random names for you.
Don't be concerned; it's only a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When you participate in your first official game.
Good Luck]
The young man was so taken aback that he thought he was dreaming.
He was teleported into a forest after 5 minutes.
As he stared at the forest trees, the young man was taken aback.

The timer starts now 59:59]
***
Back to the present
The young continue to run for his life as he navigates in an unknown forest.
He was fortunate to find a stone house in the forest and hid there until the timer ran out.
He was terrified of the insect monster, which was the size of a basketball.
The insects were hitting themselves in the stone house the currently young man is hiding.
Ting!

[Gamer $% #0lD1 will be returned in 1 minute, please prepare. It has the potential to cause dizziness and nausea.]
The young man was then returned to his room.
He tried to deny everything, but he can't deny that he injured himself on his knees while fleeing the monster insects.
The young man canceled his plans for the day.
He plans to rest and heal the wounds on his knees.
It wasn't a fatal wound, but it was excruciatingly painful.
He checks social media to check if someone is posting about it.
To his surprise, it was broadcast worldwide as if it were a game show.
There is a lot of information online that overwhelms him.
The shocking revelation, however, was that the deaths of the participants were real.
Some people are fortunate to have complete corpses, while others are not.
Nothing but a pool of blood and minced flesh.
The only thing that made things bearable for the Gamers was that they were fully healed and in perfect condition despite their injuries.
Physical recovery is possible as long as the Gamers are alive.
However, as a side effect, the longer the Gamer sleeps, the more injured they are.
For example, if the Gamer has a 5% injury, it will require 1 hour of sleep. If the gamer is 99 percent injured, he or she will fall asleep for 10 days or more, depending on the severity of the injury.
"Fuck! This isn't true!" The young man couldn't believe what he was witnessing.
Ting!
[Gamer $ percentage #0lD1] Your next game in The Desire Games will be in 29 days, 23 hours, and 20 minutes. More details will be released three days before the game.
Good Luck]
