Author's Note - This chapter marks the start of the main story i.e vol.2.
————————————————————
Yawning, I put aside my phone and stretched my hands. This soul land game was just awesome, especially the cutscene. They were highly detailed and smooth flowing unlike the the anime where the body language looks stiff and a bit forced especially the movement of character's long hair while walking. This may seem minute things, but altogether they give different experience to the viewers.
Like this Douluo dalu game, it was a 800 gb game. It's resolution was ultra 4k. I couldn't even wait to explore the rest of the map of Douluo Continent. But it has to be tomorrow after school.
After preparing my school bag for tomorrow, I jumped right into bed. Ahh, the softness of the pillow...
"Goodnight, Mom" I called out.
Door creaked as my mother entered my room. It was a tidy room but some of the things were misplaced.
"All ready for tomorrow's Maths test?"
"Of course, Mom. Didn't you see me studying? I have been solving sums all day." I lied shamelessly but with confidence. ( Sadly, I have been playing Douluo Dalu.... the whole day. Sry mom).
"Mom, where's Dad?"
"He's still at his factory, working."
"What about brother, is he asleep?"
"Sleeping soundly. "
"I still have some work in the kitchen. All the best for tomorrow, Sweetie. Goodnight." she said closing the door.
My mother is a normal hardworking housewife. She's elegant, beautiful and someone who cares about friends and family. Everyone feels open with her. While, my father is a business owner. He's well built, humble and the one who understands me the most. I'm a 17 year old student who loves art, stories, games and music. Where as my cute little brother is a high schooler. This is my most treasured thing - my family.
Leaping out of the bed and quickly grabbing the phone that was placed on the study table, I called my best friend.
"Bro, please it's urgent, can you send the pic of the formula sheet? Thanks."
"Right now? Isn't it a bit late?"
"Yes, I know. But you see, I have lost it."
"Really? Tell me honestly, you didn't study for tomorrow's test, did you?"
"You know me well. You should know how studious I am."
"Ya right, reading novels and playing games a night before the exam. I can see your dedication."
"How about this? I'll let you play my best game ever - an 800 gb full hd 4k resolution game."
"800 gb... Are you kidding? "
"Of course not. It's name is Douluo Dalu"
"Douluo Dalu? No such game exist. Who are you trying to fool?"
"You don't believe me?"
"No."
"Fine. See it for yourself tomorrow after school."
"Ok. Tomorrow after school at your place. I'm sending the pic. But don't forget your promise. "
" Thanks, See you tomorrow. "
Finally starting to study for real, I didn't memorize the formula sheet first. Rather, I saw solutions of the question and studied the procedure. Once I understood the logic, I started memorizing formulas and solved some maths problems, hoping the best for tomorrow's test. This, was my life. My normal routine was school, play, study, me time and again school on next day. A simple routine but I sometimes found it way boring. I always wished to be see new stories, to live like characters and thinking what they'll do now. And the world of novels, mangas, movies, animes, manhwas exactly did that. They brought a bit of colour and entertainment to my life. And oh boy... this world was intoxicating... They helped me to imagine and daydream, making me leave reality and making me enter into my own world, like I'm doing now, instead of solving sums. Bruh - Focus.
Unknowingly, I didn't knew when I felt asleep.

A young teenager was sleeping peacefully with his resting on a study table. Saliva was dripping from his open mouth, spreading on the paper beneath his head. It was silence, except the continues noise made by the fan.
Tick tock. Tick tock.
As soon as the hands of the wall clock reached 12, the phone which was lying quietly on the table vibrated. The lock on the phone was bypassed and the home screen layout appeared. The home screen was swiped left and the folder "games" was clicked. In it, the application "Douluo Dalu" was opened. It seemed as if the phone had came alive. There was no one in the teenager's room, but a strong presence was felt in the room. But the teenager in his sleep didn't notice it.
Welcome to Douluo dalu games.
Loading ... 1%
As the loading progressed, the silhouette on the screen started having a soul ring every 10% while a soft tune was being played in the background.
"Tap anywhere on the screen to continue"
Welcome SHADOW
A cutscene started playing from where the teenager had quit the game. But only after 10 seconds, the settings of the game was opened. Under the Customer Service tab, a unique code #0000 was send. After the confirmation, a source file appeared which started breaching the game. A scary atmosphere was being built in the room. Yet no one was there except the teenager in his room. After scanning the whole code of the game, an error appeared on screen.

Beep. The screen of the phone suddenly went black like it had been before as if nothing had happened at all.
