Questions

Pacifico: Please! We didn't intend to attack you, and you attacked us first, so we just defended ourselves.

Julio: And we are sorry for his guy touching your b...

Girl: Shut up!

She then pointed his bow to Julio.

Pacifico: Please can you let it go? Just this once.

The girl then lowered her bow and removed her mask.

Girl: You two are idiots... you didn't even recognize me, do you?

Julio and I just stared at her.

Julio: I remember her! We were in grade 4 when we played with a brute girl in our class! Do you remember that? The one who always punches me in the face when I ask her if I can see her Pan...

I then hit Julio in the head again before he can finish what he's saying.

Pacifico: Is that you? Isabela?

Isabela: So you remember, what the hell are you two doing in here?

Julio: We are planning to pick up fatso

Isabela: So you three idiots are still friends, huh...

Pacifico: What about you? Do you have any information about the game?

Isabela: I'm clueless like you are. I thought it was a typical online game like what we played when we're young.

Julio: Pacifico thinks that the game scanned the real map of our world and converted it for the game.

Isabella: I see. That's why I have this gut feeling that I somehow knew this place.

Julio: Gut feeling? Maybe you're just on your peri...

Isabela then hit Julio again.

Julio: Why did you hit me!?

Isabela: I wish that I can kill you right now.

Pacifico: Don't mind him, you know how he is, he's still the kid who talks first before thinking what he'll say.

Julio: Seriously? I thought you're my friend.

Pacifico: Hey, Isabela, do you want to join us? Tonio's house is nearby.

Isabela: Sure, I don't have anything to do.

The three started to walk. After 10 minutes of walking, the group ends up on a cave-like pathway.

Julio: If I remember it correctly, there is no cave here.

Isabela: Thanks, sherlock. It is the main road, one of the three bridges leading to district B.

Pacifico: Do you think the game blocked it on purpose?

Isabela: Let's see if we can go around the town hall.

District A is the second-largest district. A wide river separates area A and B, the only thing that connects the 2 is the 3 bridges constructed by the Mayor: The first bridge which is located in the far east of District A, the second bridge is located at the back of the town hall which is located in the middle, and the last bridge is situated far west near the church.

If we are planning to go around on foot, we will be walking for almost 3 hours.

Julio: Seriously!?, why don't we dug are way thru here, it's a cave, that means there is a pathway leading to the other side.

Isabela: An unknown cave where there is no light and has monsters inside who tries to kill us, versus walking for hours. Hmmm... What will I choose...You idiot.

Pacifico: Let's just start walking. At least we can see monsters who are trying to attack us.

Suddenly the 3 of them felt another shake.

Isabela: Is it the same monster as before!?

Pacifico: I don't think so!

Large circular towers sprung in the forest, in District A 6 tower appeared in different locations, the nearest is a dark purple tower which is located on district A's cemetery. Next is the blue tower near the spring where I rested, the other one is the red tower near the market place where the fire department is located. The green tower sprung in the middle of the central plaza, one of the furthest is the yellow tower which is located at the west end of district A where the power generators and electricity maintenance office is located, and the most distant of them all which is located in the far west of town is the white tower which spring in the middle of the church.

Julio: What the hell are those things!?

Pacifico: Let's go to the nearest tower and have a look around.

As the 3 ran towards the old mini market place, the 3 saw some of the shops still intact but already left in ruins. Suddenly Isabela stopped running and approached one of the shops. The name of the shop is Vixen, a famous shop where girls our age always go when they need something to put in their face.

The shop is rundown, the metallic door is busted and full of rust, some of the letters in the signage are missing, and the glass windows are broken. The walls are now full of veins, almost covering the whole shop, but Isabela still remembers it.

Pacifico: Something wrong?

Isabela then rushed inside the store.

Julio: What's wrong with her?

Pacifico: Let's take a look too.

As we entered the shop, we saw Isabela checking some of the shelves.

Pacifico: Isabela, is something wrong?

Isabela: You said that this game only scanned the map in our district, right?

Isabela continued to the stores counter and checked the drawers.

Pacifico: Yes, I'm surprised that some of the shops here are just in ruins. In our street, all the houses are already swallowed underground.

Julio: Maybe because your street is near the mountain range.

Isabela: Do you know any explanation of how an unknown game publisher can scan the city without the authority knowing about it? Do you think they know about this?

Pacifico: I think so, why are you asking these questions.

Isabela: Pacifico...

Isabela's eyes began to tear up.

Pacifico: What's wrong?

Isabela: T...This game is weird, Th...this game... This game is scary.

Julio: Hey, get yourself together.

Pacifico: Wait, did you discover something?

Isabela fell to the ground.

Pacifico: Isabela! Are you alright?

Isabela: Before I went back home, I stopped at this shop... I'm planning to buy a foundation and a bunch of brushes... but... I was not able to purchase one of the brushes because the only one left are 3 brands that I don't want.

Pacifico: What do you mean?

Isabela then pointed out one of the top shelves.

Isabela: Pretty, Gorgeous, and Beauty... the only 3 remaining foundations on the shelf.

Pacifico then ran towards the shelf and discovered the 3 broken and rusty foundations on the shelf.

Pacifico: M...Maybe it's just a coincidence.

Isabela: I think so too... but before going home I saw a beautiful mini dress... I told the cashier to "hide the dress I like for now" because I don't have enough money to buy it, and I promised to come back tomorrow to get it, the cashier asked if I can give any type of identification, so I gave her my school ID.

Isabela then showed something in her hands, a plastic ID frame with a tattered laminated paper inside, it's now full of moss and rust, but half of the ID is still visible. It's hard to read because of the dirt, but we can again see the name in the lower portion of the ID... We can even see Isabela's name.
