As days turned into weeks, Skorp began inviting his friends to join our gaming sessions, gradually introducing me to his circle. The first two were eager to know more about me, their curiosity palpable as they wondered whether I was truly a girl or just a random guy Skorp had met in the vast universe of PUBG. Little did they know, with my mic muted, the mystery surrounding my identity only deepened. Skorp, in his usual manner, made sure to keep my voice hidden, guarding the secret as if it were a rare treasure.

The first was Brook, a player with a sharp wit and an infectious laugh that brightened even the darkest moments in our matches. Then there was Pookie, whose deep, powerful voice commanded attention whenever he spoke. I chuckled at his name, remembering the dimples that danced at the corners of his mouth—a fitting contrast to the strength of his voice. The last of Skorp’s trio was Pitos, a laid-back guy with incredible skill who seemed unfazed by the arrival of a new player in their midst. Despite his casual attitude, Pitos was a force to be reckoned with, effortlessly dominating the game.

Together, they formed a bond that radiated respect, a rare quality that left me feeling valued. The four of them treated me with a level of consideration I had seldom encountered before, never cursing or behaving inappropriately when I was around. It was as if they recognized the unique space I occupied in their gaming world.

With each match, our camaraderie deepened, a blend of playful banter and competitive spirit. The thrill of strategizing with such a respectful group made each gaming session more exhilarating. In those moments, I felt like I belonged—not just as a player but as a friend.
