Life was going just normal. Maybe just too normal for our boy, named Surya, who was living in his so-called life, yes literally just living. It was a cloudy day with the cold wind blowing like a depressed and old, drunkard man. The birds were singing the chorus of melancholy, fixating their tones on the treble notes of the winds. No one around was enjoying their life because of the weather. Everyone was sitting inside of their homes, playing video games or enjoying their own introverted life.

Not even a single human being was outside their home. All busy in their controllers. Their eyes 5 inches from their screens and they shouting like hell. When they take the controllers, it is like they are going into a war. They call their comrades and start the match; sorry I mean war. Oh no, we got out of focus from our character.

Surya was on his gaming chair. He had a controller is his hand and he was pressing the buttons, so meticulously that it was hard to believe that he started playing with a controller just 1 week ago. He was gasping with the amount of force he was exerting on the game, but at last the game displayed a message, "Game Over".

Surya: Man, I was defeated! Again! Why do we die in these games? Can't they make a game where we cannot die. Well, it's too much to hope, I think. All of them are either plane boring or just too hard! I just wish if there was a game that allowed the players to go inside of it! Man, that would be so enthralling and romantic!

(Phone rings: Surya picks it up.)

Surya: Hello, Kabir. What's up buddy?

Kabir: Hey, I just wanted to ask you if you have ever played Minecraft?

Surya: This guy always starts from the point no hello, or hi. Huh? What game is that? I guess I have heard its name somewhere in the internet, but I haven't given it a shot.

Kabir: What?? You don't know about Minecraft?

Surya: Am, no. But is it good?

Kabir: Actually, I have learned about the game until recently, so I have not much knowledge about it too, but people say that it's a mysterious game, and I am curious to see what's so mysterious about the game.

Surya: Mysterious huh? I guess I will give it a try.

Kabir: But there is a rumor around.

Surya: And what is it?

Kabir: A person said that ones who have entered the game could never return back!

Surya: What? What do you mean that they couldn't return back? Were they inside of the game?

Kabir: As I said, I don't know much about it. Seems like this might be a fake news, but it can also be a leak from someone working in the company. I tried to contact the company but apparently their excuse was that it was just a gimmick played by other game developers to get their attention towards their game in order to disappoint the new players thus destroying the name of Mojang.

Surya: So, are you going to give it a try?

Kabir: Well, I definitely would, but before that I had to clear my doubts, the Mojang people seem to be hiding something so I planned to hack into the system to see if the leak was true or not.

Surya: Did you really hack into their system?

Kabir: Are you an idiot, it would be impossible to get the codes down, but I could hack into the system of the leaker to see if the news was justified or not.

Surya: And what did your results show?

Kabir: You won't believe it but the news seems to be true. The leaker was a prominent employee, who worked at Mojang and he leaked this information to the public to get revenge on the company!
