Like most people when bored on a rainy night in a small cramped apartment inside your room alone at night with a laptop young Jackary downloads a video game. the game is a text based game with cool cinematics and amazing pictures in the background as he reads the text and selects his options. He plays as his character Jackary Moon who has just become a vampire and is slowly turning into a full one. but when the line between games and life start to blur what will happen. After all as a vampire anything is possible.
The rain outside my small window was pounding as the sky was dark. My mom still wasn't home and she might not be for a while with this weather and her work down at the store.
As I opened my laptop I started a new game I just downloaded called Second Life.

Okay so the system seems pretty simple. The game was a text based game with options. Pictures were shown in the background and special cinematics for fights as well.
"But why am I a vampire even." I said a loud as I looked back outside.
My bed was up a against the wall by my window in my small room. I couldn't even turn my bed in the toher direction because the room was so small. So it was stuck to be by the window. And the rain kept catching my attention as it gets even later into the night.
I looked back at the screen as it asked for a name input.
"Might as well just use my actual name." I said as I decided there was no game to make it more immersive.
[Name Accepted- Jackary]
[Please select family name]
Oh this is pretty cool. So each family name gives me special perks and effects.
Moon-Gain ability to use mana and neutral relations with werewolves.
Fangs-Gain 10% more health from drinking blood and start with increased speed.
Black-Gain the ability to use mana and start with the Sharpen Spell.
They all seemed pretty decent but as a new player I didn't really understand what each might do exactly. Sure it told me but I didn't understand how werewolves worked or how a sharpen spell works.
"Guess I'm picking Fangs." I saod and selecected it.
[Name-Jackary Fangs]
I clicked on start game and the game started to load up the text.

Game Text--------------------------
You awake in alleyway after being attacked by a strange man and finding two small puncture wounds on your neck. You hear someone whistling as they come down the alleyway towards you.

Option two- Wait and see who is whistling.
Text ends
"Well hell no to the second option. That's asking to die." I say as I click option two.
Text--------------------------
You take off running down the alleyway and can hear the whistling stop as footsteps take of towards you. They sound so fast that it's just a impossible to tell if it's them running actually and not just flying on the ground.
"You must die youngling." A voice said with a small amount of laughter as you here a shockwave and then you go flying forwards and stumble over yourself falling.
You turn to see the man is holding a small knife.
Option one-Beg for your life and say you will do whatever.
Option Two- Get up and try to fight.
Text end
"I am definitely not begging." I mutter as I click option two.
Text Begin------------------------------
You get up and send a punch at the man but he side steps your attack with easeand slices into your arm. The blood that comes out is not red but black slightly. You pull your arm back and manage to land a kick to his gut sending him backwards.
"You boy don't understand what your life is now. Let me help you end it." The man said as he took one small leap at you slashing at your neck with his knife.
You manage to dodge the attack barley and your legs take sending two powerful kicks one after the other but the man blocks with his strong steady arms stabbing into your arm through your shirt making the blood stain the shirts sleeves.
He kicks you back into the wall playing with the knofe in his hand.
Before you can say anything a young man that looks your age jumps from the rooftop between the row of you. His voice sounding thick of a English accent.
"Would you want some help." The young man said looking back at me slightly.
"That would be appreciated." You said catching as you tried to breath and holding your arm.
"Oh and the names William, William Moon." He said as he pull out tow daggers from his jacket spinning them in his hands before attacking the man.
Option one-Try to stop your arm from bleeding.
Option two-Takw the opportunity and run while their districtarted.
Text ends-------------------------------
"Well that's pretty cool. I kind of want to see what happens." I said as I clicked the second option.
The rain outside was starting to slow and the wind calmed down outside my window finally. As I heard my door open.
"Hey buddy your still awake. Don't you have school tomorrow." My mom said as I looked at the time and noticed it was temat night. Somehow two hours had passed.
"Oh I lost track of time mom. Thanks for letting mw know." I said as I turned off my small lamp and she closed the door.
I took one last look to see what happened after my first choice.

"There is always more of you bastards." The man says as he stumbles back as he tries to deflect the attacks but fails.
"And you hunters just won't give up." William jumps to his right bouncing off the wall with one leg kneeing the man in the face.
Man loses all sens of balance and falls into the left wall and stumbles backwards. William wastes no time in stabbing the man twice in chest and cleans both his knives with his napkin in his jacket pocket.
"Well seems I need to welcome you into the fold youngling." William says with a smile as he turns to you."
