Maya dropped her bag and ran to her father's office in excitement. Her favourite game, Adopt me, had just updated and there was a new egg introduced. She wanted to be one of the first people to hatch it so she could brag about it to her friends. Maya had saved up so that she could get the egg as she knew not many people would want to trade with a bacon hair. As she opened the website, she noticed something odd. There were 0 players on every single game and 60% of her friend's list were all online. She found this rather odd due to the different time zones. Maya went to click on adopt me but it redirected her to a game that was just made up of the starter place. She grunted and exited the game. The title was Content Deleted, as well as the thumbnail. She was about to go back to adopt me when she noticed that it was the only game with players in it. It also had all her online friends. Rolling her eyes begrudgingly, Maya clicked the game.

Her character entered into the game in the small beginner cottage. She noticed around seven other players were also online, although only two of them were speaking in chat. Stepping out of the building, she saw red arrows on the ground, all pointing in a specific direction. Curiosity got the best of her and she followed them until she made it to a deep hole. Other players were standing around it, looking into the dark abyss. "Push the bacon in first lol," someone typed in chat. Another player, who looked like a copy-paste, tried pushing Maya's avatar into the pit but then fell in themselves. Once they were out of sight, their name left the player board. Maya raised an eyebrow and began moving her character towards the hole, jumping in when she got close enough.

Her laptop began making a loud noise and vibrated violently, she moved backwards, away from the computer and looked at the screen worriedly. A blue gas began seeping out of USB ports on the side of her laptop. Her eyes became heavy as she coughed into her elbow whilst simultaneously trying to cover her nose. Failing, she blacked out and collapsed onto the keyboard of her laptop.

Maya woke up on a soft patch of grass, she could hear many panicked voices around her. Before she lifted herself up she looked at her hands and noticed how pale they were. She studied her reddish-brown jeans and pulled at the denim jacket that wrapped around her arms. Almost immediately she grabbed a lock of hair and pulled it down in front of her face. Her brown chestnut hair had turned red and was know in a messy bun. She froze and looked around at all the other people, she then confirmed that she was indeed, in the website.
