The Monster Hunting App

"My mam will kill me if I lose my new phone." I could feel my stomach get continuously more nauseous as more time passed.

After several months of asking my mother, she finally bought me the new iPhone. I wanted to bring it with me to school today to show of to my friends and after hyping it up for the first few classes we finally got lunch.

"I don't think you're ready for this." I said I'm a proud voice while pulling down the zipper of the front pocket of my bag.

"C'mon we've been waiting all morning."

"Fine, fine here it i- Huh?" I looked back at the pocket for a second time but to no avail, I then opened the big pocket and looked through it but like the other pocket it wasn't there at this point I was getting a bit panicked.

"Are you alright? You're looking a bit pale." He said as he noticed my expression change.

"I swear I brought my phone with me but I can't find it anywhere."

"Maybe you left it at home. I'm sure it's fine." He said a bit worried.

"..yeah...maybe." Despite saying this I vividly remember putting it in their.

And that brings us back to where we are now. I was so preoccupied I didn't even hear the bell for the last class go off. When I looked around I saw only the teacher was left giving me an odd look.

I quickly put my books back into my bag and left the class room. "Hmmm, Should I go to the principals office? Might as well."

After walking down a set of stairs I arrived at the door with a sign on it saying {Principals office} I slowly pushed open the door and noticed the principle sitting on a desk looking through paperwork.

"E-excuse me sir, did anyone drop off a phone in here by any chance?" I was quite nervous causing me to stutter.

"Oh are you Kyoki Watanabe, some one dropped of an iPhone X here for that name."

"Really, yes that's me." Anyone could instantly see my expression change when hearing this.

"Yes, it's just on the cabinet behind you." He said while pointing to a cabinet behind me.

"Thank you sir, I said while leaving."

"Don't worry, just be careful it looks expensive."

"Yes sir."

I left the office and put my phone back into my pocket without loosening my grip all the way till I made it home.

When I made it home I a woman with brown hair tied up into a ponytail curves in the right places and a loose jumper on in the kitchen she was my mother. Despite being her son she is still quite an attractive woman.

"Hey sweetie, why are you so late today?"

"Huh, um... I told you to stop calling me back." I stumbled my words. I can't possibly tell her I nearly lost the phone I've been asking for, so I thought of that lame excuse while rushing towards the stairs.

"That's strange, he's never been like that before. I wonder if something happened today?" She thought before going back into the kitchen.

"Phew...That was close." I thought before sitting on my bed. I took out my phone before lying back.

When I turned it on to make sure nothing is wrong with it. "I'm surprised no one stole it."

After I looked through my phone I noticed a strange app on it. "When did I download this? [Monster Hunter] huh."

"Never mind I should do homework now." I powered off my phone and placed it carefully on the dresser beside my bed.

"Let's start with maths I guess." I thought while taking out a few books.

A few hours later I heard my mother calling me for dinner . "Dinners ready, come down soon or else it'll go cold."

"Coming" I shouted back in response.

When I came downstairs I noticed my mother sitting down and looking towards me as I came down the stairs.

"What for dinner tonight?" I said while looking at a plate that looks scarily green.

"Hmm, oh this I'm on a diet so I went to the shop and bought anything green I saw. It hard keeping this perfect body." She said in a joking manner.

"Sure, sure but why do I have it?" I said with a raised eyebrow while looking at the green plate.

"Hmph, I'm not doing this alone." She said as she poked through lots of leaves and put it in her mouth.

"Sooo, how is it?" I said as I saw with a grin while I saw her difficulty in swallowing it.

"Ugh...oh um it's lovely why don't you have some." She said while pushing my plate closer towards me.

"Then why are you putting your fork down?" I said with a slight mocking tone.

"Huh. Oh this, I ate earlier don't worry."

"It's a pity I was gonna ask you to order takeout for me." I said with a suggestive tone slightly laughing.

After I said this she blushed a little before saying "If you insist I guess we should get some."

"But what about your perfect body?" I asked making my voice sound as innocent as possible while fighting back a grin.

After hearing me she blushed even more. "Ah that, don't worry I'll sacrifice it for today."

I made my way back upstairs after a satisfying meal. "Let's see what this app is then?" I sat on my bed and picked up my phone before launching the app [Monster Hunter].

After I clicked on it I saw a loading screen, the icon was a small chibi dinosaur waking in on direction. Underneath the dinosaur I saw some text.

[Tip: Don't die]

"Well no shit Sherlock." I thought as the game changed screen to show the homepage. In the middle of the screen I saw [Campaign] and beside that was [Online] "guessing that is like PvP or something like that.

There were some other tabs but they were greyed out. I looked at the top left of the screen and saw [Profile] when I tapped on it, it shows a chibi version of myself. Beside it was my name. "How did they get my name and why does that avatar look so like me. No it looks exactly like me." Above my name was a level icon. It showed level 0.

I clicked off of profile and looked at [Inventory] when I clicked it all I saw was a wooden sword so I clicked off.

"Let's see what campaign has to offer." When I looked at it I saw an image of my avatar with a wooden hitting a small chibi monster. After clicking the icon the screen changed to show a map of where I'm living. "How do they know where I'm living as well. I never put my location on this phone?"

I noticed on the map over my house was my avatar and around me was some small icons of small monsters. The closest one was a small rabbit with a horn on its head. It looked quite cute honestly.

I clicked on its icon and a description popped up.

[Horned Rabbit: Normally lives in colony's. (group of rabbits) not very dangerous]

"On the map it's only about 100 metres down the road. But how do I fight it?"

After messing around the screen I couldn't find any way to fight it.

"Guess I have to actually go there in person." Looking outside I saw it was quite dark.

I said "It's Friday today and I have no school tomorrow. I'll check it tomorrow I guess." Before putting my phone back in my pocket.

"Hey 'Sweetie' do you want to Netflix and chill with me?"

I heard my mother say that from the bottom of the stairs while clearly emphasising on the 'Sweetie'. "Clearly she doesn't know what Netflix and chill actually means. Well never mind." I thought before walking down the stairs to greet her.

We picked a movie and turned off all the lights while eating popcorn.

"Yeah, I'll check it tomorrow."
