There is no time to be bored in a world like this.. No matter where we go we usually see two people, one who's a man and the other is a women who're together. It's a connection we can never explain. A natural thing in which I lack, I really don't know why??

Since I was young and till today I'm still the same, I can never talk to people like others do.. It just felt weird and I don't know what to talk about or how to talk to others.

This is my downfall which made me unable to have friends. I'm always alone, no-one would talk to me and it was the most miserable thing that happened to me. My parents would always try to cheer me up and help me understand about friendship but I still don't get it, I guess I was born to be a introvert.

During middle school, I was lucky to have met a friend, his name is 'Hiiro' he helped me come out from my solitude. I finally was able to talk to others without any hesitation but ofcourse the only one that I can talk to freely was Hiiro who became my new neighbourhood friend.

A few years later, I spent my time with Hiiro, his sister and friends playing, chatting, helping each other when we had works from school, arguing, laughing and everything that friends should do. I'm glad that I escaped from my solitude and thankful for Hiiro and his friends who helped me recover from my past.

But except for Hiiro and my friends I still don't know how to talk to other people. This has become difficult for me. Especially when I talk to girls I always froze and I couldn't utter a word. Even so that was just a phase so I ignored it and went on with my life.

We were always together and I thought that no one else could disturb us, however soon enough after we grew up some of us went to different schools and we were seperated, some had new friends and started to hang out with them instead of us. It was just me, Hiiro and his sister but somehow I knew that Hiiro won't have time to hang out with us anymore since he had a relationship with someone.

So it's just me and Hiiro's sister, I knew I needed to talk to others now and I tried but I was just a class-mate to them. They weren't like my friends they were somewhat different. I was suffering and needed my friends back.

Soon, we graduated to high school and were going to start our new semester, however the lockdown and Covid-19 happened and we we were more seperated from each other.. I don't know what to do.. I was bored and alone. One day, I called Hiiro and we talked about a lot of things, I found out that he broke up with his girlfriend and that he joined this app called 'Mangatoon'. He asked me to download the app and join in as well..

And that's when I met her, the girl who made my heart beat for her and her alone.. I knew there and then that we are going to have the brightest future ahead of us..

TO BE CONTINUED

'Have you heared of this app name Mangatoon it's amazing',

'It's a virtual online app which is close to reality '

I have to download it.. It's really amazing, It's a masterpiece and for some of us it's a world where we can escape from reality and we can find our true self..

March.

The sun shines at my face almost like it's telling me to wake up.. It was just like any ordinary day, I wake up from my bed, brush my teeth, had breakfast, help my mother with the chores and after that I just sat on my bed, open my cellphone playing games or looking at some videos from You-Tube..

2020 is the worst year for all of us, With the Corona virus outbreak and now a worldwide pandemic.. It's hard to live in these kind of situations.. People have to stay at home and we can't leave our homes. I watch as my parents were struggling with this new type of environment because they had to sit at home doing nothing and that makes them anxious but we can't do anything but just sit and wait.

I miss all my friends and classmates, we always call each other and talk about our everyday life but it feels weird not meeting them for a very long time. It was devastating. But no matter what we can't let it get to us, We should cheer up and try to take this in a positive way. For example, It's a good thing that my parents got to stay home and relax from their everyday work it brought our family together.

September.

One day, I called my friend 'Hiiro' to ask him about his health and how he was doing and he told me he was fine. We started talking about many kinds of things like games, videos, our status, anime etc.

Then suddenly he started talking about an online app he dowloaded and told me it was amazing, we can read manga's, make or write stories, play mini games and chat with people from other countries. It was just like 'Sword Art Online' but different. It's name is 'Mangatoon'. The name sounds interesting and I decided to download it that day.

After downloading this app I wore my streamline helmet and entered the game.

The main-spawn area was amazing, It looked so real.. But before I could enter the game I had to fill up my information and choose my character.

After I finished it, I contacted Hiiro to meet me at the spawn.

I choose a easy character, White hair that suits my personality as well.. And I named myself as....

..."KAI"...

Time-7:07 PM

Place- Spawn area

Name- Kai

Gender- Male

I entered the game at the spawn area and as soon as I spawned, there were so many people here I was lost for a moment but then I saw a message in my screen and as soon as I clicked it, I immediately got teleported to a room called 'Private Chat'..

{The private chat is a white space room where two characters can have privacy when they're talking and no one can enter the room except for the two people.. }

I roamed around the PC(Private Chat) and noticed someone was here with me. It was Hiiro my friend.

His character's name was 'Hiiro' , he chose a character with black hair wearing a black suit.

'How did you get such a nice outfit??' I asked him,

'Ofcourse.. I got it because I'm on a higher level.' he said with a smile,

He told me that we have to complete challenges or some task in order to level up and we can get any kind of treasure or gift from the system. We talked for a very long time about the game and I started doing some task to level up.

The MT(Mangatoon) map is quite simple. The first map is Spawn, Second is 'Home' where we can choose our task and collect our rewards/treasures, it's a castle and most NPC's(Non-Player Character) are situated there.Third is the 'Genre room' we can watch manga there, it's like watching a movie in a movie threatre. Fourth is the 'Discovery room', so the 'Discovery room' is divided into three rooms: 1. Events 2. Comments and 3. Community.. Fifth is the 'Garden room' where groups of people comes to chat in a group or we can just walk around and enjoy the scenery and finally the last room 'Library' where we can check our Profile, our characters outfits, our levels, friend list and purchase coins.

After one hour of adjusting myself in the game, I got an invitation from Hiiro to join a chat group. I accepted the invitation and waited for a few minutes for their Leader to accept my arrival in his/her group.

During those extra minutes I called Hiiro for a PC with me,

'What kind of group will it be like, Hiiro?? ' I asked and he replied by telling me to just wait and see. So I was just chilling in the Library room checking my profile.

Honestly, I'm a little excited to meet some people from other countries in the game since I've never got to communicate with anyone these days.

Time-9:12 PM

'It's nearly time to me to have dinner.. Hmm.. Should I go?? But what about the game?? Whatever I'm sure it'll be fine if I leave for a few minutes.. ' I said to myself and with that I teleported to the Spawn area and disconnected from the game..

(After he left)
