thoughts had crowded George's mind ,Where was he? All he could see was a void of literal darkness.
"Hello!?" George hesitated, Trying to find even the softest bit of light. Never again would he take free games from an old video game shop. "Uh.. H- hello?" He murmured louder franticly looking in all directions. Or.. What he thought was different directions?

George closed his eyes, Hoping for him to see something when he would open them again. Fortunately, He did. He opened his eyes and saw the same village from the cover of the game, George's eyes had widened.

"Woah.. I'm actually inside it-" Speaking to himself.
"That is actually kind of cool, Erm.. What was the game about again?" Trying to remember the things that were written on the back. He looked down at floor and rubbed his head.
𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵, 𝘩𝘶𝘩?
He had noticed his shirt had three hearts perhaps stuck to it, he tried to rub them off, But it was like they were apart of the shirt now.
________
After a few moments he had come to a conclusion.
"Okay.. Taking a guess, Its a video game so I'm assuming that the hearts represent how many lives I have?" he said with confidence.

...
"This is so fucking weird."
He tried to push off the fact he is inside a video game while realizing what the case had said, The back did say to play at our own risk. "I so should have listened.." He put his hand on his face and looked down, He worried.
𝟐𝟑 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧.
he heard from all around him, It sort of startled him. "23 hou-" his eyes widened after the moment of realization. "Am I going to die after 23 hours!?" George screamed aloud, All of the villagers turned they're heads and looked at him but then turned them back to what they were doing.
"okay uhm, I have no idea what happens in 23 hours, But I guess I should try to beat this game-" He finally whispered to himself, Walking away from where he had first spawned he quickly decided to look for someone to help him.
"Hello?"
...
Nobody answered, Nor even looked his direction.
𝘜𝘨𝘩, 𝘐𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴.
Still walking he saw a few people and decided to try and speak to them, Tapping a man on the shoulder. "H- hello!" George spoke awkwardly, The man looked at him then started whispering to the other NPC's. "Hello George." The NPC finally spoke.
"how do you.. Uh- Know my name?"
The NPC didn't respond, Which made George believe that the man didn't understand. Causing him to walk over to another NPC.
𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 24 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴.
________
"Hello George, If you wish for help, Please go to the forest." The NPC said, With a plain expression on their face.
"Why though?"
...
No answer again, At least this one told me something.
George made his way to the forest, There was still 23 hours left. "This forest kind of sucks." George coughed.
"excuse you."
...
"Thanks-"

George turned around with no hesitation, A man in dark-ish yellow stood before his eyes. (cause he is colorblind? :D)
The man in yellow was hanging upside down from a branch in the tree's, Looking at George. The Man was wearing a really odd smiling mask, and a green hoodie, And from what he could see he also had dirty blonde hair.
...
"Hello!" George said, Looking up at the masked man. The man smiled and jumped from the branch onto his feet. "Are you a player?" The man asked urgently.
𝘈 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳? 𝘐𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘶𝘺 𝘢𝘯 𝘕𝘗𝘊 𝘵𝘰?
"Before you ask player, I am an NPC! I think so at the most.."
"what?"
The man smirked and fluffed George's hair.
"It's been awhile since a player got in this game, It's so nostalgic! Like Deja vu."
𝘞𝘰𝘸, 𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘺.
"I mean, This game is pretty freaky." George said hesitantly.
"I guess you're right, Its been over 10 years since I last saw another human-"
"Another?" George asked curiously, taking the mans hand away from his hair.
"Well yeah I mean-"
𝟮𝟮 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻.
The loud noise startled George, Causing him to fall backwards.
________
The masked man suddenly gasped, Looking up at the sky then back down at George.
"The timer is back?!" He asked without any hesitation, George looked up at him from the ground and nodded.
...
"Look, It is a lot to ask player, But can I beat the game with you?"
