1 Walk Forth!

"My friend...I understand human's greed. I forgive you..." In his eyes, a glint of regret and some forgiveness remained. For fifteen years exactly, his best friend Park Mu Bin decided to betray him.

For six years, they have been playing MLBB for six years together. Anything that blocks their path, they'll pass it together. Whoever insults them, they destroy them together. However, a human still have it's own nature.

Ahn Chi Eun stood at the peak of the leader boards. He is the top player of his favorite hero-Fanny. He is also one of the streamers of the game which earned him countless in-game currency known as diamonds.

Because of this, he stood at the limelight always going to press conference about the game and also attends seminars. Little did he know, beside hi always is a friend he treated as his own brother.

Slowly, his friend's heart turned black because of jealousy. He himself is the top player of Korea and also the third best player in the world. However, this still didn't stop him from being greedy.

Ahn Chi Eun despite being only the top player of his hero, he earned attention more than Park Mu Bin did. Even if how hard Park Mu Bin tried to impress the creator of the game, he still choose Ahn Chi Eun as the game ambassador.

This lead him to dirty deeds. He asked Ahn Chi Eun for a friendly duel in his house. Unknown to Ahn Chi Eun, his friend plotted something bad against him. They made a bet, whoever wins will get the other's account. Ahn Chi Eun confidently accepted this since he is far superior to his friend.

However, at the middle of the game, the drug added to his cola did it's job. It made Ahn Chi Eun dizzy, making him lose his concentration at the game and later, lost it. He thought that his friend did it only for his account and he didn't mind it since he could create another account.

However, Park Mu Bin haven't finished his plot. A hidden knife under his desk was used to stab him in his chest. Because of this, Ahn Chi Eun was in this condition who's last breath could only counted with the fingers of one hand.

Park Mu Bin gave birth to a happy yet evil expression. "Friend? I never treated you as a friend. For me, the word friend have been long since gone in my vocabulary."

Ahn Chi Eun's heart felt pain adding to his bloody chest, it's overbearing. For years, he always treated Park Mu Bin as his brother. 'Family is not just by blood' he thought always. Whatever Ahn Chi Eun got from playing will be shared with Park Mu Bin. Anything, even game currency.

His eyes were filled with forgiveness and warmth even at the verge of dying. His bloody pink lips opened slowly. "But I did", his voice croaked because of the pain he is in now.

Park Mu Bin's face trembled. He remembered what Ahn Chi Eun had done for him for their friendship. All sacrifices which he did just to make Park Mu Bin happy, yet he ended their friendship at their Friend Anniversary. He also killed him...he ended his friend's life.

Ahn Chi Eun's lips revealed a smile as he let go of his life. His body slowly let go of the resistance and just layed there emotionless. Ahn Chi Eun thought for the last moment, "They say that when a person dies, his brain still have seven minutes of brain activity left. This is the brain replaying all memories in the person's lifetime in a dream sequence. I'll experience it soon..."

Outside, Park Mu Bin could see a drop of tear came out of Ahn Chi Eun's eyes making him tremble.

Ahn Chi Eun layed there lifeless, waiting for the seven minutes brain activity that his brain would do. "Is this death?" he said as he experience nothing but complete silence.

He had been waiting for minutes but the brain didn't do anything like a dream. I'm dead now, I don't feel anything like pain, he deduced as he felt his body like nothing happened.

"Wait...wait...why can I feel my body?" He exclaimed inside his mind. A dead person could no longer feel anything and when a person dies, they would be incapable of thinking anymore.

"Don't tell me..." He doesn't believe it, he traveled through time! In his view is the same classroom he goes to at history class. Where their professor will introduce them to the world-known game, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang!

His heart raced, he could see his sickly pale skin. He could touch his hair that feels like a smooth silk. His freshness as a youth lingers around the the scent of big books aroused his nose. He was back in time!

He glanced at every surrounding, nothing more nothing less! All people he knew as his classmates were inside sitting happily while listening to the handsome teacher. Of course, he still remember the fact that many girl students come to this lecture just to see his professor's face.

Indeed he was handsome, however Ahn Chi Eun's face was no inferior to him but even superior! Sharp eyes and eyebrows, he looks like a person who came from comics!

His heart fluttered seeing his favorite bag beside him while his phone underneath him. The phone was something that holds great sentimental value, it was something he bought from his own salary.

The class would end soon, since the lecture is going to an end. The professor so Ahn Chi Eun not listening to his lecture and was angered. He slammed the book he was holding unto the floor that made the students jolt including Ahn Chi Eun.

"Mr. Ahn, tell me something good about the game I am talking about. It seems like you aren't listening." He said angrily while pointing his finger to Ahn Chi Eun.

If this was the old times, Chi Eun would feel the worst and wore an ugly face while answering. However, he had just traveled through time! A hearty smile appeared on his lips stunning his professor.

"Mobile Legends, a five by five MOBA game that was introduced by Shanghai Moonton Technoloy. It is arguably one of the most popular game in China right now. While it's premise is interesting enough, what really keeps players glued to their smartphones are the updates from game developer Moonton. This is a sensational game that will soon shake the world."

His voice contained happiness while talking to his professor. Other students inside looked at him indifferently. Ahn Chi Eun is an intelligent student that is at the top five, however his answers can never be precise like this. Moreover, no one have seen him playing this game.

"It seems like you are fond of playing this game Mr.Ahn" His professor commented while smiling happily. Of course if a student is intelligent, the teacher would always feel proud that they teached this person.

"It's just that professor is so good at lecturing thus I managed to understand it whole." He lied flattering his professor at the same time.

"You're flattering me...however what you said is true. The developer releases updates nearly every month or week that improves the game itself. I could be a new hero..."

Updates in the game were always splendid. There are some cases that they will release a new Hero where you could buy it using diamonds or battle points. Battle points are earned battle after battle. If your win, the battle points you will recieve can reach nearly three hundred, however if you lose, reaching a hundred is hard.

You can also buy heroes using diamonds but they are far more expensive. You can only earn diamonds by buying using real money or when you won something from an event. Doing streams will also earn you some when you are playing the game.

Expensive but good indeed, using diamonds you could buy heroes, skins and other stuff. Skins are those things that comes with a hero. Buying skins will change the appearance of the hero. There is also a promo that allows you to buy Starlight Membership using money. Being a member will give you privileges. You will earn the special skin only for memebers at that time and you can use free extra heroes that can be played. A border is also included in the package. A border is a bordee itself around the profile with different styles. Besides this, you will be granted by a special recall effect that only members can use. Truly amazing!

The lecture soon came to an end but Ahn Chi Eun used his time in secretly downloading the game into his phone while still setting his mind that he really traveled through time. It is impossible yet it happened!

"Chi Eun, let's go and eat!" He turned around and saw a familiar face he had been looking foor. This time, he didn't feel anything good but his eyes were filled with hatred.

The person in front of him is his best friend now that will kill him in the future, Park Mu Bin. Park Mu Bin already felt that his friend is acting different today, thus he dared to invite him.

Ahn Chi Eun's memories of Park Mu Bin killing him flared up. He raised his eyebrow and said," I don't want to, don't follow me."

Park Mu Bin was taken aback by his reply. However, he shook it off and pretended that nothing happened.

Meanwhile, Ahn Chi Eun just left the room holding his phone fimly. He raised his head ans said, "This path is difficult. However, I am blessed and given a chance by the heavens, I will walk forth!"
