"What the heck?" A quick very squeaky and tired voice coming could be heard coming from a very confused woman, alone in a room filled with computers. Her of course manning one of the said computers where the spam-like ad could be seen.

The woman's features could easily be seen, lightened by the computer's brightness. A long black-haired glasses wearing girl, with a red beanie on top of her head covering most of her hair. One could easily mistake this girl for a model, and I can't blame them, with her red plump kissable li--- Anyways, I've got sidetracked carry on.

"Uhm, okay?" She kept clicking the x icon for the spamming ad but that wasn't able to do a thing, she kept clicking it to the point that her mouse-clicking could be heard for miles. She got annoyed to the point that she even dragged the ad to the side using her cursor.

She was about to continue with her business, i.e writing an essay about the development of computers and the Internet but she wasn't able to. Because the pop-up ad came back bigger and stronger, i.e with multiple clones popping left in right in her computer's windows.

"What in for the love of god?" She asked herself in a confused hushed tone, her face scrunched as she looked at her surroundings, to her left, and then to her right, she stood up for a little bit scanning her surroundings not noticing anyone else.

She then sat back in her chair while looking at the screen her computer is displaying, tons of simple ads with different sizes and lengths with the same sentence being displayed, [𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝘆𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝘀.] right under it is the simple word. [𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲?]

"Here goes nothing." She then dragged her mouse's cursor at the latest ad i.e the one in the middle, the biggest, and then clicked it, closing her eyes and flinching... But nothing happened.

She opened her eyes and looked at her computer's screen. All the ad pop-ups displaying the words [𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝘆𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝘀] and [𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲?] just suddenly disappeared. Her essay, the porn on her Google tab, and the weird fanfic she searched on the internet are all gone.

Her whole window screen is just replaced by three words, just a short message. This of course made her very confused. She opened her mouth, "What the fudge ---" But wasn't able to finish as her consciousness slowly drifts off to neverland, or dreamland, heck it could be legoland for all I know.

But this is something I'm definitely sure of, the three short sentences that were displayed on her computer screen could be seen, and they were...

[𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗬 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗥 𝗢𝗡𝗘]

As well as her body sleeping on her computer's keyboard, droll leaking out of her mouth as she sleeps peacefully. One could easily assume that the poor young girl was very tired and went to dreamland on instinct, but we know that isn't so true, don't we...

...She opened her eyes and was greeted by the great nothing. It's not that everything is black, it's just that everything is white, and she is left there standing in the middle of it, unluckily with her clothes on, red beanie, and everything.

She looked down and noticed that the lower part of her body isn't there, she was about to scream but before that, she noticed a holographic-like thing that slowly changed into her missing body parts.

"W-what the?" She looked at her hands as they slowly did the same. A holographic thing's materializing as her hands, slow enough for her eye's to see it all happen.

Before she could admire or question what was happening a holographic-like tab appeared in front of her, written in big bold white letters, thrice the size of her, the tab not the letters. Not saying that she's tall or anything, she's actually kinda short, standing at whopping... 5'2 feet... Shortie.

She, Darcy Lewis was able to read the text very carefully before it could vanish, like one of those old TVs when you close it. You know? The ones that have antennas and static on the screen, like that, yeah you remember?

Darcy was left there in the middle of the plain white void as she questions everything, after a few seconds she finally opened her mouth, "W-what the HE---!?" But was cut off once more, this time, being the last. She isn't dead or anything, it's just...

⸄༺ 𝗦𝗖𝗘𝗡𝗘 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞 ༻⸅

...It's just that she reappeared somewhere else, this one being the heart of the CyberWorld, the City of HyPixel, and the only city in the CyberWorld, where different game characters ranging from cartoonish and fantasy-like to realistic ones meet, think of Wreck-It Ralph, it's just that this one is much more... Less populated.

And right on cue, Miss Darcy Lewis from the great Marvel Universe reappeared in the middle of HyPixel, being bombarded by tabs, ranging from notices and achievements.

[𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗢𝗻𝗲!]

[𝗘𝘃𝗲!]

[𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝗯𝗶𝗲!]

[𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁!]

I watch all of this happen not far away, my right hand supporting my chin while sitting on one of the many benches of HyPixel. Sipping on my hot coco, an expensive-looking Chessboard laid out in the middle of the bench, as someone sat on the opposite side of the bench moving his White E2 Pawn into E3.

A ticking sound could be heard as he finish his move, the floating timer not far away from us stopped moving as it switches to my time. He then turned to me and grinned as he says. "Your move, sir." I looked at the confused Darcy Lewis once again as I sip at my hot coco, after that, I placed my cup down at the transparent floating disc-like object right beside me.

I then looked at my guide, friend, and mentor Sebastian, just Sebastian nothing else. His avatar is that of a silver-colored robot, with tall robotic legs and small robotic arms not fitting with his torso, he wore black boots and white gloves as he also wore a three-piece suit in the color of black and white. Resembling Ogden Morrow's Avatar from Ready Player One.

I then looked at the board, nothing is changed, the board is that of the normal starting game, except for the White E2 Pawn moving to E3. I who plays Black played Black E7 Pawn to E9, as the ticking sound could be heard.

I unfocused on the game as I looked in Miss Lewis's direction, seeing her sitting on one of the many benches of HyPixel looking at her surroundings in bewilderment and a smile plastered on her face, as I quietly pulled a nearby floating tab displaying the location Miss Lewis was in earlier. Seeing that her real body was still sleeping there, I then threw the said tab far away to the side as it slowly disappeared, I then placed my hand again on my chin as I looked at Miss Lewis's beautiful everything... I'm a fucking lowlife SIMP...

... "What in the name of the vanilla fudge?" The same girl from earlier, Miss Darcy Lewis could be heard questioning herself in a hushed tone, with her squeaky, fast voice, and bewildered face accompanying it.

She could be seen sitting on one of the many benches of HyPixel, right beside a tree, trashcan, and a floating transparent disc-like thing that she doesn't even know what it's called, currently she's playing with the disc-like object... Not that you horny bastards.

"Woooah, what?" Miss Lewis asked herself while waving her hand under the disc-like object, seeing her hands pass through the disc. "Like a mirror?" She said to herself before quickly adding. "Well, the transparent ones..." Her head wiggled from side to side as she spoke and as her breathing ran wild.

She looked around everywhere and noticed weird things, thing's that kept getting weirder and weirder the more she looked at it. Yet, beautiful at the same time, Zombies with huge bubble-like heads, walking Plants like cabbage, and an orange-looking thing with a long ass mouth with no arms just legs.

This place is getting weirder and weirder the more she looks at it... And she absolutely loves it.

She looked at her surroundings noticing the weird things she was talking about earlier, some of them staring at her, they aren't the same there seem to be different species.

Sunflowers with eyes, a Green Pie looking thing with others having different designs and sizes, a Coconut looking thing varying in sizes, and a very Mean looking Cabbage punching the air.

And many other species of anomalies that she could see. Of course, there are other things like Bubble Head Zombies, looking child friendly than a normal zombie would, most of them wearing different clothes from the others, the changes are small but visible. Like their hair, the way they move, the way their clothes are presented, etc.

And of course, the weird place she is in right now, she tapped her feet hearing the sound of concrete while feeling her boots. This is in fact not a hallucination or an elaborate prank, but instead, it's the truth.

She looked around at her surroundings seeing a beacon-like light in the middle of four pathways, the pathways corresponds with North, East, South, and lastly West.

The North Pathway the location Miss Lewis is closest to is unbeknownst to her and corresponds with well... Nothing, all of the pathways are about games and the location of the game doesn't really matter.

But that's too complex and this is the first chapter of the book, really we would have many more chances to explain these things, just remember that for now, Miss Lewis is sitting on a bench somewhere in HyPixel as her surroundings resemble a huge park, with Plants and Bubble Head Zombies roaming the green grass lawn, got it all? Great.
