Video Game Lovers (ErrInk)

Chapter 1 - Introduction

Ink's POV

Shaking my pencil nervously, I waited for the bell to ring. It always seemed that time crawled when an individual was anxious about something. To kill time, I stared at the students that sat in the classroom. There were the normal students that did their homework, like me. Then the popular kids that never did anything expect play on their phones. Lastly, that one weird person which I'm not going to talk about.

As I looked around, my eyes met the skeleton that I was afraid of, Error. He has been bullying me ever since I transferred to this school. I was hoping that he would leave me alone today because I had something really important to do.

Right when I heard the bell ring, I jumped out of my chair and quickly headed out of the classroom. I tightened the straps of my backpack as I pushed through students walking within the halls. There were some people that whispered things about me but it didn't bother me because my reputation was already so low.

Pushing the front doors open, my eyes were met with the bright sun that shone through the airy white clouds. However, my peacefulness was short lived as I felt someone grab my brown scarf and pull me to the side of the building. After I was slammed against the wall, I saw who it was.

'Of course it had to be Error.'

Error: Where do you think you're going so quickly?

My voice stopped out of fear as his eye lights stared directly into my nonexistent soul.

Me: There s-something really important that I have planned for t-today.

He stared at me for a second before backing away. What surprised me is that he didn't punch me like he normally would. Error sighed before looking at me with an unreadable expression.

Error: Well you're lucky today. I have a very important thing to do as well. Go before I change my mind and decide to punch you in the face.

I ran away without giving it a second thought. I felt his eyes on my back the further that I got away. When I passed the front gates of campus, my pace increased so I could get home faster.

  When I arrived home, I almost busted down the door to get in. My dog, who was sleeping, became startled as she stared at me. Closing the door behind me, I called her over to me to give her some love before having to get up.

Me: Hey girly. Do want to go for a walk before I play "Reign of Empire"? Let's hope Voidzer doesn't yell at me for being a bit late.

  Ginger looked up at me and instantly stood up to have her leash be put on her. After I attached the rope to her collar, she began to pull me. I couldn't hold in my laugh at her eagerness to get outside and smell everything in existence. After several minutes of her pulling me around, I finally got her back inside. Tossing her a treat, I walked up to the office.

  I sat at the computer and turned it on. When I started up the game known as "Reign of Empire", I stared at my avatar. His name was Bavexie, a skeleton that is mastered in the Druid and Rouge Class. Finally logging in, I was pulled into the world of my favorite RPG.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  I walked up the cliff of the Crimson Mountains. Just as I expected, I found Voidzer looking out. He was mastered in the Demon Hunter and Warlock Class. His race was a demon, which was weird.

Voidzer: Where were you?

Me: I had to walk my dog.

Voidzer: Do you realize you could've missed this? We've been waiting for this moment for so long.

  As he spoke, the ground began to shake as a huge tower rose up to the sky. This was the moment that made me anxious. The first party to reach the top would win and receive amazing gear. Void and I were going to win, no matter how long it took.

(Time Skip)

  It took three hours but we did it. We won and were currently receiving our loot. The chests shined with a glow as I opened it. Inside was high ranked gear that would make me stronger. The last one was a strange item. Reading the description, I saw that it was a love potion.

Me: Why would anyone need this?

Voidzer: It's for hostile animals, I believe.

  I stared at it before putting it into my inventory.

Me: If only this was real life. I would use it on an animal so I could be loved. What about you?

Voidzer: I can only think of one person.

Me: You got a crush on someone?

Voidzer: Yeah I do. I've liked them ever since the day I saw them. I like everything about them. Their smile, their laugh, their personality but... I don't know how to talk to them.

Me: Oh my god dude. You don't just have a crush, you're in love.

  He didn't say anything. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking since he was an avatar. Then, I decided to break the silence.

Me: Look, all you have to do is talk to them. You never know what might happen.

Error's POV

  Bavexie told me to talk to him but... how? I'm the last person Ink would want to talk to. I want to confess my feelings for him but it's difficult.

  Logging out, I sighed as I rested my head against my desk. My mind thought of every possibility that could happen if I confess my feelings for him. That's when I had an idea. I would start being nicer to Ink and tell him my feelings once he can trust me. I was determined to do this.

I now have a quest
