Xadia in his past life was familiar with a lot of games, FPS and TPS games, role-playing games, Action-Adventure games, Survival, and horror games, they were all his favorites and all these came to mind when Tyson mentioned the arcade.
He was more familiar with the arcade video game Super Bikes 3, and Xadia was hoping those arcade video games still existed, with the influence of the new technology there was likely no chance that it was still played.
Tyson had taken it upon himself to make sure that Xadia woke up early today, and he had done exactly so, as they had set out to their destination.
"Uhm Tyson why are we heading to the second-year area, you know well that, we're not welcome there, and I'm not itching for a beating today," Xadia asked
"Don't worry today and tomorrow are an exception, the arcade is in the second year area, it's the only one in the school so we share with the second year's". Tyson replied
They soon reached the second-year area and it looked like they were arriving at their destination, a big building could be seen upfront as Tyson led the way.
Now at the front of the building's entrance, Xadia could see that there was no door to open or close, a wall of the warping green-coloured portal.
Pushing through the portal they entered the arcade, Surprisingly for Xadia the portal wasn't seeping into him like it had done the day he reached the academy, it was proof that his theory was correct about the strange energy in him was.
Looking at the arcade it wasn't what Xadia was expecting, it was different in terms of length as it looked like they had fit an amusement park into a building, there was only one-time Xadia had seen this and it was at the fords house, somehow the space init was bigger than the building itself.
"Cool right, wait till you see the VR room, it seems appropriate I give you a tour of the arcade," Tyson said as he led Xadia into the arcade explaining every area of the arcade.
The arcade was divided into four segments in terms of space, the robot room which had everything robotics in it, there was a small arena in the center built to watch matches between students that wore robot suits, there was also a betting port by the edge of the room for placing bets on preferred contestants.
The automobile's area was an entirely different segment, the area had hover motorcycles that were used to race inside a twelve-meter wide green glowing circular tunnel-accelerator, the hover motorcycles were fitted to the wall of the tunnel, hovering slightly as if they had a balanced pull and push force, more like when an opposite side of two magnets are placed together, but this one was balanced with no advantage in power from the two magnetic reactors.
They soon moved to the sports area of the arcade, the space had different types of newly developed sports games, the most popular and most played sports game was a game called gravity falls, this game was played in a cylindrical receptacle, it was a game of ten players where a gravity-ball is played inside of the receptacle with no force of gravity, special gloves and boots were made to support movement in the receptacle, the goal was to play the ball into a hoop like a goal post, it was the typical futuristic game, and Xadia was amazed as they watched a match.
Soon the match was over and it was time to head to the last area and also Tyson's favorite area, entering the area the room was filled with cylindrical capsules that could fit one person each, the design looked a little bit like xadia's pod but not quite, it had hand ports by the side for registering power levels.
"So once you create your account, you'll add me, my username's PURPLE STAR001"
"Purple star?"
"My familiar is purple so...., I should probably ask you what username you'll be using"
"Uhm..., I'll be using DRAGONBLOOD, I can always change it, right?
"Yes, and also don't forget your password when you register, that happens with a lotta people"
Placing his arm in the hand port in front of Xadia, Tyson's watch soon displayed a holographic screen, and on the screen, Tyson clicked a three-hour capsule time paying the expenses after, he soon gestured for Xadia to place his arm in it, immediately his level was scanned, a beep sound confirmed the latter, the capsule then slid open for Xadia to enter.
Entering the capsule, a voice resonated in the capsule. "Uncatalogued player detected, register now". A holographic screen soon appeared in front of Xadia, he then filled in the required details to register for the gameplay.
A white blinding light illuminated the capsule transporting his mind to a new space, now he could find himself in a null white space that extended indefinitely, there was no building or structure, only the hollow white that overwhelmed Xadia's presence, suddenly a holo screen appeared in front of him.
[Account creation successful]
Details:
[Username: Dragonblood001]
[Siphon Augmenter:lv1]
[Matches:0]
[Quick Match]
[Ranked match]
[beast match]
[Buy skins]
[Add Friend]
Reading the details on the screen, his account was successfully created and his level 1 status had been assigned by the capsule through his system watch and Xadia was hoping it wasn't the same for his body, if the capsule's system had registered his body capabilities according to his watch level, he would have the ability of a level one siphon user, limiting his game play.
Clicking on the [Add Friend] display, a search bar popped out and xadia filled in Tyson's username and soon added him, selecting to join Tyson's room and waiting patiently for a few minutes, his friend request was accepted transporting Xadia's mind to another white space only this time Tyson was there.
"Finally, I've been waiting for a while now, now that you're here allow me to demonstrate by playing a match, I'll be creating a spectating party now"
An arena-like seat stand suddenly appeared and Xadia was soon transported to the seat side, sitting down. He was amazed at the sensory details of the game, he could feel the seat that pressed on his butt, it was exactly like how sitting was like in the real world.
Seeing that Xadia was comfortably seated, Tyson went to search for a match, he selected the [Ranked match] button, and clicking on a level 4 ranked match, he was soon merged with a level 4 player and his opponent was soon transported into the white space 12 meters away from him.
A countdown soon appeared between the two of them, and when it reached zero, the match immediately begin.
Quickly summoning two orbs, Tyson launched at his opponent, two punches came from his adversary knocking the two orbs away from Tyson, calling back the two orbs that had become heavy, they weren't responding to his summon.
Suddenly his opponent had started to rush at him at a very fast pace, it was then that Tyson could see that his opponent's footwear was glowing his rival had a beast gear sneaker on.
Now reaching Tyson's striking distance, his opponent then threw a punch at him but he caught it with his right hand, a silver substance began to appear right on Tyson's arm, not waiting to find out what the substance could do, he then threw a punch back to his opponent with his left hand pushing him a distance away.
Looking at the substance in his hand it had begun to solidify, soon his right hand had started to pull him and he couldn't stop himself from pulling towards his opponent.
His rival then delivered another punch to the side and he caught it again, the strange silver-like substance then engulfed his right hand before pulling his arms to his side making him vulnerable to attacks.
A rush of attacks had hit Tyson's body, and the capsule was doing a fine job causing Tyson to react to the attacks, causing slight pains to the player, it would trigger stimuli at vital and critical areas.
Tyson's body was becoming petrified by the minute reducing his game health hit by hit, soon the silver substance had wrapped up to Tyson's neck leaving only his head open for attacks.
Moving a few meters away from Tyson his opponent began to petrify his own hands, morphing them into a giant-like arm, he then began to run towards Tyson aiming to finish him off.
Tyson's eyes soon lustered a purple glow and energy tentacles shot out from his backside hitting his opponent away, two orbs soon appeared right back at Tyson's side, two energy tentacles then shot out of the two orbs stabbing at Tyson shelling the thick liquid silver substance on his body.
Now free from the substance, Tyson then threw his arms out into the air, and with the motion, spear energy tentacles went straight at his opponent, one of the tentacles then wrapped up onto his rival lifting him and making the other energy tentacle stab at his adversary, a couple of stabs here and there and the match was soon over, as the opponent instantly disappeared out of the white space from the last hit.
"Phew, that was tensed,". Tyson said as he summoned Xadia from the spectating stand.
"You fought with a level 4!"
"Yeah, opponents my level don't put up much of a fight".
"It's your turn now"
Tyson then pressed on his holo screen switching rooms with Xadia.
Creating a spectating stand like Tyson had done, Xadia was ready for his match.
