The Rising Sun

As the cold night air hit Ryan Nao's bare arms he thought to himself 'I should of brought a sweatshirt.'

That thought only plagued his mind for a moment as he look at the sun that was slowly comeing into view. It was truely a seen to behold as you could see the fall leaves still clinging onto the tree's from a distance.

Watching as the leaves slowly shift with every breeze 'one would want to put such a picture up on their wall in a frame' was the only thought that surfaced in his mind. Although you could see rooftops amongst the tree tops, it didnt hinder the seen from being beautiful.

Looking back to the people around him in a ordly line and the police helping keep order to stop any disputes that may arise, Ryan thought back to the reason everyone had a look of excitement on there faces as they look in the direction of the sun as well.

What flashed in his mind was a poster one would find hanging almost everywhere. That poster was of a virtual reality game that was announced almost 9 months ago. That game was called 'Abandoned Kingdom's Online'. A VR-MMO-RPG that has been on the tips of everyone's mind.

Ryan slowly started getting lost in thought as he looked back in the direction of the rising sun. Standing their like many others as if a mass petrification was suddenly cast over them.

Only did everone start to look towards the direction of the front of the line as if their body was sudenly back under their control when they heared a commotion.

"I said give me your spot in line, do you have any idea who I am." a young man's voice rang out with a attitude in his voice.

"I don't care who you are, I have been here all night like everyone elts and-"The voice of a young girl was cut off as a crisp slap could be heard and a yelp escaped the lips of one could only presume was the girl.

"Did I say you could speak! I said move!" The young man's voice rang out again more annoyed.

The police could be seen running towards the direction of the voices and even some of the dad's that could be seen in line with their kids and wife's decided to step out of line to join them, you could see clear anger in their eyes after what they just heard.

Looking at the other people in line made Ryan have a lot of mixed feeling boil up inside him. He could see people with entertained expression's on there faces that made him feel like socking a few.

Ryan also could see worry and even other people that looked like they were about to get out of line but feared doing so because they were alone and didnt have a way to get back to their spots if they left.

Not long after the police and dad's all left one could hear the screams of people further up the line berating the guy who slaped the girl.

The police could be heared shortly after but it was a little hard to make out what was going on with so many voices all at ones. It wasnt for a good 3 minutes that the commotion finally died down.

Thankfully it wasnt long before you could see both the dad's and police comeing back with a teenager that looked to be around 17 being draged along in handcuffs and if one looked close, one could see one of the cops had a black and blue on his face.

The teen was not quiet as he was being draged to one of the cop cars that was further towards the back of the line. He was cursing and calling the cops all sorts slurs.

In the end, the dads that left had no problem getting back in line and some even received a thumbs up or a pat on the back from some of the other men who wanted to go but couldn't.

If one listened they could hear a few tell the story of what happened to their family's or the people around.

As Ryan listened in he could piece together that when they arrived, they could see the teen was already restrained by a bulky dude who looked to be a boddy builder.

The fathers didnt stay on the guy to much and moved on to how when the police arrived and took over the scene, the teen ended up socking one of the cops when the body builder was handing him over.

It made Ryan wonder if they felt infeirior to the bulky man but he didn't think on it to much as he listened back in.

Successfully hitting a cop and getting free the teen realized maybe a little to late just who exactly he hit because it was as if a switch had flipped and he panicked. In a attempt to run away the teen tripped over a bag that was on the ground. Unable to get back up in time, the cop he hit had jumped on him and put him in handcuffs without much issue. Not much happened after that or at least that is what Ryan understood.

Wondering if the bag got placed there intentionally or not Ryan tried to find more detailes but was left with nothing.

No more incidents happened that needed the police involvement after that as most people that tried to sneak into line where swiftly shooed away by the others in line.

It wasnt until the sun had clearly risen into the sky did a notification show up on everones phones. As people took out their phones to look or looked at the phone already in there hands did a noticable aura of exictment fill the air.

Ryan was no different as his excitement was visible with a smile on his face. It was a smile not that much different of a kid getting the exact toy they wanted for Christmas.

Although all he was looking at was his notification bar on his phone, the email he got was all to noticable. It was from the store homepage that would be selling 'Abandoned Kingdom's Online' officially stating there opening time.

Huredly tapping on the notification, Ryan got sent to a lock screen. Although a little annoyed that he had one in the first place at this moment in time, Ryan quickly tapped on the screen entering his password and was finally greeted by the email he got.

Right in front of his eyes Ryan could see plain as day that the opening time was set for 8am. Looking up at the current time on his phone, it read 7:37am.
