Beyond My Own Galaxy

Videogames Aren't Real

My day couldn't get any worse could it? For one, Being late for school, and missing the bus on a rainy day isn't the best way to wake up and start off my day. But my day just kept throwing me to the wolves. But one thing I could look forward to that day was the new game my dad gave me. I've been itching to play it and see what it's like.

The air hits me lightly as I walk from the humid outside into the nice cool air of my living room. Closing the door behind me softly, My mother pokes her head out of the kitchen doorway and looks at me with a small smile. "Did you have a good day at school, honey?" She asked me sweetly, and It was a question of complete opposite answer. "Not really, Mom.."

I headed upstairs and tossed my backpack to the side, sighing and turning on my tv. I pop open the case of 'Lunar Entity' and put it in my Playstation. Kicking off my shoes, I grab my game controller and hop on my bed, laying down and facing the tv. The loading screen came up and I took in the lovely black, grey, white and red background of a crumbling city on a distant planet.

I brought my cursor down to new game and pressed start. My speakers boomed with the opening music, and I smiled. The beginning looked like something out of an action movie, running you down the streets and down roads of the city which ran with demons. My eyes watched the screen as the screen zoomed into a room, seeing the main character for the first time.

His black hair hung in front of black scalora eyes with red iris', he was panting hard as if had just come from a run. His face etched with anger. "Where were you, recrute?! You could have gotten killed!" his low voice rang out through the speakers, the characters mouth moving perfectly with the pronunciation. His red irises glowed with anger at the player. An option came up for me to pick what to say. A small bubble popped up and a small grey skinned, purple freckles, pink haired gargoyle girl popped up. "I suggest you plug in your microphone, Aaron needs to hear a response." She says in a high pitched, naggy voice. Smirking at the player, or me as I should say.

I plug in my mic to my system and talk into it, "I'm sorry sir." Aaron, the main male on screen looks at the player, smirking "Better be, recrute, I dont need to lose you too." He put a hand on the character's shoulder.

It's been three hours and my stomach rumbled as I fought off a few dream eaters with Aaron, Learning new tips from the tutorial girl. After the last Dream eater exploded, I paused the game, getting up to get something to eat with a smile on my face. This game was absolutely amazing.

I head into the kitchen, my mother had retired to her room for the night to do notes on other games. heading to the fridge, I grab a soda and an apple, biting into it and chewing. I nearly choke when I hear something break from my room. I drop the can and the apple and run back to my room to see that a flower vase from my 15th birthday was now shattered on the floor. I raised an eyebrow and looked at my screen which was now glitching slightly. I kneel down and start to pick up the large shards of glass and sigh lightly. The day took another strike at me.

Tapping. It sounded like it was coming from the glass of my window, but I look and nothing tapped. Tapping, coming from behind me. I raise an eyebrow and look at the TV behind me, almost screaming at what I saw. The tutorial girl was looking at me through pink bangs, tapping hr claw on the screen. "You gon' let us out, hunny? It's kind of stuffy in here." She asked. I widen my eyes and choke out little squeaks.

I stand up and walk over to my screen warily, Blinking and reaching up, touching the screen which now felt like jelly. I cocked an eyebrow and shoved my hand through the screen, getting my hand grabbed by the cold grasp of the stone girl. I pull back with my hand and her grey arm came through the screen, turning into solid rock with purple freckles. She crawled through and giggled, fixing her short purple dress and fluttering her itty-bitty navy blue wings.

A hand shot through the screen and dragged a male body behind it, black hair covered red iris' that looked right at me. He stood there, Aaron Skie, in my room, breathing and alive. I rub my eyes quickly and almost faint. "H-How are you two here?!" I screech. Aaron looks unamused as he crosses his arms, his sweatjacket folding along his bends. "You really don't know recrute?" He asked.

"First of all, My name is Jenna! And second, know what!?" I say, my brown hair bounding over my shoulder. The girl smiled and looked at Aaron. "She really is dumb, Chief." She snickered. I scoffed. "Excuse me! I'm right here." "Morticia, Morticia....Stop being so mean to the Human, we have to teach her about what's going on.." He said to the small rock girl who pouted and huffed. "Jenna, was it?" He looked at me, and I nodded, a smug angry look on my face. "Alright...Jenna, Lets just say, our worlds have collided."

"I can see that!" I snap, growling slightly. Aaron holds up his hands in defence. "Hey, Princess, You're lucky we're even gonna help you with the information we have and not just sitting and waiting for this to literally blow up in your face."  I grimaced at him and sighed. "Fine, tell me whats going on then."

"Alright, Princess, In the world that me and Morticia live in, there's an entity called The Unknown, who destroys worlds and takes things from people who treasure those items deeply. That entity, is the literal definition of the universe. He's colliding worlds and it's not pretty, with yours and our worlds put together...You can say that the end is near. The monsters and demons from my realm are going to start pouring into yours.  And then he is going to merge more worlds and make it into a race of time before he kills us off."
