Virtual Battle

Prologue

"Tch ... Tch ..." the man teased Alisha who again could not overtake her ranking

"Tch!! Adam feeder!" Alisha replied in an annoyed tone full of jokes

Alisha is a university student who spends some of her free time playing games either with her brother or sister. But since her two siblings were preoccupied and diverted by their own respective friends, Alisha, who held to the principle of the family first, is the only one who remained in her position. She didn't have many gamers friends so sometimes she lost her motivation to keep her hobby up. But one day, one of Alisha's friends who were 'popular', who happened to have a free slot for Alisha to join in her squad, happened to lead Alisha to meet her gaming best friend, Adam.

"The heck? No, I'm not! You're just too slow!" Adam kept dodging himself from Alisha accusations with the intention of teasing the girl again

Adam, a friend of the same age as Alisha, is known to live on a different island from Alisha. Alisha did not know much about this guy, but he soon became familiar with him because of his personal friendliness and voice which made Alisha enjoy playing games with him for hours or even all night.

"Hahaha, whatever! Let's play again" Alisha exclaimed getting all excited

"Bring it on!!"

For the next few matches, Adam's first place was irreplaceable, although Alisha had more kill than the man on several occasions, she can never take over his 'most valuable player' place.

"Argh, I thought I was calling out the final kill cam. Adam feeder!" Alisha huffed again in a joking tone

"Now what? Wanna play another match?"

"Get it started already! Drain this battery off or 'till I get knocked out!"

"You're lucky tho'. My battery will run out first."

"Hahahahaha"

"My bad, incompatible gaming phone "

"It doesn't matter if you lack device but you still can play like a pro"

"Oh yes of course. I'm Adam the Ace."

"Tch, look at you getting conceited by a cheap bragging"

"Hahahahaha, just kidding, Sha"

"Hahaha I know, idiot!"

"So, do you wanna keep playing Multiplayer or should we switch?"

"I'm... not sure. What do you think?"

"Me neither. You are the room master"

"No...! You are!"

And they begin to throw exchange of the room master over and over again.

"You are,"

"No, You are,"

"No, You, Adam!"

"No, no no, I'm not. You are, Alisha!"

Alisha sighs, "Arghh." Alisha immediately click on the start option and the loading screen appears

As usual, whenever she already in the match's lobby, Alisha wouldn't turn her mic on unless she saw Adam is on the player list.

"As usual sir, you are the last logged in" she scoffed Adam in a joking tone

"Sha, your mic hasn't turned on yet" Adam's voiced and that left Alisha a lot to be curse about.

"I'm soo freakin' dumb-head asdfghjkl ........." she curses to her own stupidity

"Hello ... hello, I'm talking to myself, argh, again~" whined Alisha

"Hahaha not even surprised anymore"

Yes indeed, this has happened a lot, sometimes it was Adam sometimes it was Alisha. They share enough the same ridiculous habit.

After the match, back to the lobby room.

"Hey, Sha. I heard that your city's battleground club is going to roll out an event. Is that true?"

"Really? What kind of event is that?"

"I just read about some of it. Is it a trip or camping? I'm not sure. You should probably go check on that. The poster seems pretty attractive"

"Is there going to be a game session or a match? Probably like battle royale or something?

"The poster kinda picturing that."

"Hold on a sec. I'm gonna check on that. Charge your phone while you wait for me"

"Okay"

A few minutes later Alisha returned online in the room,

"Oh yeah, you're right, Dam! There is the Battle Royale! I think it's gonna be a huge event cause the theme is Road to Virtual Battle"

"Guess the registration fee would cost enough. I have to save some money for other things."

"Well ... 300k per player ... But that's if we sign as an individual if we propose as a squad, it would be cheaper 'cause they have some packet for that."

"Let's just see. I can't promise anything."

"Hmm, OK", "Well, since you mention battleground, I kinda feeling that"

"Hahaha, alright. We're gonna play one more match then we're gonna switch to that one."

"Ready!"

. . .

The next day the two discussed the game again.

"So, what, Dam? Did you finally decided to join the event?"

"Hm... I don't think so, Sha. The thing is, none of my friends interested in joining in, so..."

"Well, it's okay. No problem then."

"How 'bout you? Will you?"

"As usual, I gotta see what's 'boutta come first. Besides, I still running some petition lol"

"Hahaha petition, huh?"
