53 Chapter 7: The break before the quarter finals
Between the first stage and the quarterfinals was a break. I was with five other people in a round room. The round room had; tv, sofa, costume changer and six doors leading to 6 private rooms for each person. The doors were made from wood with a number listed on the front for each person. I entered in the 5th door and claimed it as mine. The room was small like a Capsule Hotel room. The space was nothing but a small entrance, small side door to clothing storage and a rectangle like a bed with its head perfectly fitting the clothes storage and all the way down 2.4 meters to the end of the room. Right opposite to the bed as a watch wall with recorded videos and live streams. Due to Sugi's 15-minute last entrance time compared to mine, she was on right now as I switched to the stadium she was on. We left at the same time, but her stadium was little further than mine, and plus, she likes a little warm up before anything else.
On the screen displayed, the map with each locating player was on the right bottom of the screen. There are also player selections too, where the screen is focused on one player and another mode where different each player gets their time to shine and changes player on screen regularly depending on how interesting their acts were. The screen on the wall was also adjustable on size and quality along with; 2D, 3D, and 4D functions. 2D is the current view mode where you just look at it. The 3D is the pop-out function. 4D is the transportation of their view into your mind where you; feel, smell, see, hear as them while having their filtered thoughts displayed on the screen.
I selected on Sifalia with their view and circle avatar face picture on the side which is a definite underage school girl that wear high school uniform in 2D mode. Next to the profile picture is the current watch count from in-game from every existing sever and real life on knowledge cube, tv or some other view item. The view was 2K. I quickly created a split screen to check my view count while life, it was 1.96K. I had both a live stream of Sugi and video recording of me on at the same time. On one side, you see a little girl with a machine gun as well as a katana in a war-themed world in deserted lands ranking up kills and ranking number 2 in kill number of NPC, safely landing the three spots for next game. And another with a dark blue panda with a circle around the eye doing flips and turns on tree brunches while dodging arrows. I want to say they were a close match.
The countdown on Sugi's side ended, and she ended in rank 3 and got sucked up to the next level. I closed the views on the Tv and opened a new which showed the current standing of the popularity poll inside the game. I am currently ranked 15 out of the now 48 while Sugi is ranked 14, one ahead of me. I looked towards the costume changer and went full white cat. I added fur ears at the top white short jeans companied by the long sleeved light grey shirt with the upper parts of the neck to left shoulder area cut off in a semi-oval. A soft white collar was added to the lower part of the neck. The hands were covered in white half gloves while my eye turned light purple and hair white. A stocking of grey and white strips was added on both legs up to few centimeters up the knee area and around the whole foot.
-what the heck am I wearing? Freaking author!
A message sent on screen with a countdown to start, starting at 100. It was action time again!
