Chapter 2:

*irl*Beginning to a New World

The Mind vs The Best


Britney: Hey Leo check out this game. I understand you don't like video games but just look this is a pro player in a championship for a cash prize.

Leo: ugh I told you that I don't like video games why do you insist on trying to get me to play them.

Britney: and I've told you that it's more than just playing it takes skill and strategy. I understand you like chess but that's such an old game and I know how you like strategy based things.

Leo: what kind of strategy does it take to play a video game.

Britney: it's not just to play it you need strategy its that if you want to be known as the best you have to have some type of strategy from what you will do, what skills you have, and how will you align skills, attacks, and defence to win.

Leo: I guess I'll check it out.

Britney: ok good and do you want me to help you at all I can give you basic armour I have.

Leo: yeah sure but let me play it for a bit to understand the way the physics work and how the fighting mechanic is.

Britney: ok then Leo just message me and let me know when you need some help.

Leo: ok I will.

Leo leaves and heads to his fourth-period class where he sits down with people throwing paper balls around the room and people talking loudly. out of the corner of the room he hears a conversation about L.O.A. they seem to be talking about a hidden cave for advanced players near the beginner area of the game. when someone slams on his desk and starts calling him names and bullying him. when the teacher walks into the class and disciplines the rude students that were throwing stuff. Leo hurries up his class work to finish before the bell of the next class. as Leo is walking out of the classroom he is shoved to the ground and made fun of. one student came to help him get up off the ground by picking up Leo's stuff and handing it to him. this student is one of the ones that were talking in the back of the class about the cave.

Leo: thanks but you didn't have to help me you know that right.

Blake: yeah I know but if I didn't who would have.

Leo: no one would have but it would have been easier for you to walk past without worrying

Blake: yeah but that would be missing out of making a friend... I understand that you like strategy games I can tell from the championship chess shirt you have on.

Leo: yeah

*Leo slightly smiles*

Leo: so I heard you talking about the MMORPG game earlier.

Blake: oh yeah.. wait do you play it? I could use someone in the team to help with quests.

Leo: I'll join you but I need to actually get the game and get used to the way it works.

Blake: wait you haven't played it?

Leo: nope well not yet at least I was planning to after school.

Blake: that's great let me know if you need any help at all and ill come and carry you.

*Blake chuckles a little*

Leo: actually could you let me know where that cave u were talking about earlier.

they talk about how to get to the cave from the starting area. they chat while going to their fifth-period class and work together to get their class work done so they can continue to talk about the game. the rest of the day goes on and when Leo makes it home he gets the game and creates his character, and begins in the world.
