Indemnity Abyss (Vol.1)

PROLOGUE

PROLOGUE

Loud sounds of guns, a bomb. A lightnings, fires, magics, and bloods. A terrifying sounds that makes my knees trembles even more. We couldn't even step out from the place we're in now.

All of us were afraid.. afraid to lose, to get killed, and to be left. But we don't have any choice. We didn't choose to be here or even to play this game, it just happened.. Without us knowing that our lives will be hanging and be going to play with death.

"Ate..."

Napasulyap ako sa kapatid ko, he's a mess. Gulong gulo na ang suot niyang damit. May mangilan ngilan na ring galos sa mukha niya.. Its blurry but I could feel some scratches on his face.

I gave him a smile as I pat his head carefully. "It's okay, it will be okay. Just listen to ate, okay? If I gave you the que you should run as fast as you can, do your very best for ate, okay? You'll promise me that." Nanginig na tumango nalang ang kapatid ko as his tears started to flows down to his cheek, maingat na pinunasan ko iyon.

Inilibot ko ang paningin ko, mostly of gamers are doing their best too. Mostly of them are fighting with the monsters using the skills they gained from the game.

Muli kong ibinaling ang tingin ko sa kapatid ko. I held his hand tight and look at his eyes with determination.

"No matter what happens, don't look back. Wag kang titingin at wag ka ring tatakbo pabalik sa 'kin. You need to do everything that I've said to you, okay? Tatakbo ka at tatakas. You need to save me, and save yourself. We're going to win this!" Muling paalala ko sa kapatid ko. Patuloy parin ang ingay sa labas ng safe tiles kung saan kami nakatago ngayon. Halos lahat ng safe tiles ay occupied na kaya halos marami rin ang nakikipaglaban para makatakas.

I tilted my head and looked up when I heard an unusual sound. Mula iyon sa gilid, sa pinakataas. It showing the progress of some gamers from different blocks at mayroon ibang nakatapos na ng quest and they were taking their rest for the next game. The whole screen is blurred every gamers identity is hidden.. even my brother's face is blurry but I was able to recognize him since he's still wearing the necklace that I gave to him when he was five years old.

I looked at my wrist as I started to count down. Mas lalong umiingay pa ang block kung nasaan kami ngayon. I looked back to my brother, he's looking at me too, ramdam kong kinakabahan siya sa gagawin niya ngayon, but I know he can do this.. He should do this.

"Ready?" I asked him. He nodded his head and wiped his nose using his bare hand.

"Uhm, I want you to live ate." He smiles at me and he started crying. "I want you to live."

"THEN RUUUNNN!" I shouted. Tumakbo siya ng mabilis palabas ng safe tiles as the loud sound of bombs fired right into our place.

Tears run down to my cheeks, putting my hands on my mouth to suppress myself from sobbing, then I cried silently.

"I'm sorry.. I'm sorry.. Ate's sorry.. I'm sorry."
