Virtual Planet Warriors

It was a Sunday and I had been trying to get out since morning but this game... Now, what do I say?

I have been playing Virtual Planet Warroirs since I was 12 years old and now I'm 15 years old. So, I will leave it to you to imagine how gripping and addictive this game is. Apart from the addiction part, playing this game for so long has made me (not to brag) pretty much an expert at it.

It all started off with this game and this is how it began.

It was 2nd December, 2014 and the warmth made everyone light headed and lazy . I was not different either because I had not left the house the whole day. All I did was raid the refrigerator for food and play games online all day.

I had just lost to a gamer named krazy_bunny in the sword fight level of this game. I was personally feeling insulted and no wonder, I challenged him to another fight. But waiting for another life seemed like forever.

Finally, I heard a ping and realised that I got a life. I could not wait any more for slaying this person's character which had angered and insulted me.
My character sported a silver sword armour suit and my opponent did not look pretty bad himself in his black sword armour suit.

The fight began and he got the chance to have the first go at me since he won the last fight. He swung, trying to aim at my heart. It was the main weakness of every player because it would mean the end of the fight then and there with the victim losing. But, hey! I'm no beginner or learner! How dare he!

Not so fast, tiger! I did a limbo move which was low enough for me to save myself. I took my position as an advantage and striked at his knee. This move could have left him paralysed for about a minute which was enough time for me to kill him.
If only that had happened. If only.

Surprisingly, it was an unsuccessful attempt. Due to this move, I lay on my side giving him full access for a proper hit. Of course, he went for it. He did not beat around the bush by giving me small cuts all over but he directly drove his sword through my heart. Bam! and my character died.

I was so furious. You would be like "Its only a game, let it go, J" but no! It was a matter of my skill that I had learnt over years. My cheeks were turning hot with anger and embarrassment.

Ping! I saw that I had received a message in my inbox from krazy_bunny. I was pretty much sure it would be an insulting message in which he would brag about his victory. I closed my eyes for about ten seconds and switched off the computer for the first time in the whole day.

Is it scientifically proven that it is easier to fall asleep when you are upset? Because I felt like I could easily fall into a long nap. A really long one.
