Panel 1: The World

                                       "You can't delete me. 

                                        I'll always come back."

A girl by the name of Tabatha sits in front of her desktop monitor, her eyes traced onto the Skype conversation she had open to a particular "Marzia" contact name. 

"Have you heard of this game called The World? People've been talking about it," A white chat bubble appeared with the letters painted over it.

"Nope," She responded to her friend.

"Try it out! I heard it's a pretty sweet game but I'm not sure myself. I'm sort of scared to download it cause of it bringing in a virus," A chat bubble appeared in response.

"I highly doubt that it'll bring in a virus but I'll check it out. And even if it does, I have a virus protector so that shit isn't getting into my computer for sure." The girl replied and closed the Skype window after no further response from her friend, opening up her Google Chrome search engine and typing in "The World" which led her to a variety of links and forums about the game that she didn't bother to read. 

She clicked a link that sent her to a site where she could download the game and did so, groaning loudly and leaning back against her swivel chair at how long the download would take.

The download was going to take several hours that the girl didn't intend on waiting so she took a nap, sleeping until the next day when she had school. She was thankful for her active sister for waking her up unless she would've been late for her day at school. 

Wide and awake, Tab brushed her teeth, picked out a random outfit and pulled it on in a nick of time, rushing downstairs and putting on her shoes, grabbing a slice of toast and bidding her mother goodbye and slinging her bookbag on one shoulder, rushing outside and sprinting towards the bus stop with the piece of toast in her mouth, making it just in time and jumping in, heading towards the back to finish up her breakfast. 

For the next 8 hours she endured the hard-knock life of being an eighth grader going into high school pretty soon that she exprienced daily. She was bombarded with questions from her friend that she previously talked to in the Skype conversation about what happened with the game which she replied to as, "It's taking a fuckload of time to load, although it'll probably be up and ready by tonight, hopefully."

"When it loads, you better tell me straight away, k?" Her friend replied while they walked down the hall towards the exit after the day.

"Okay okay." Tab replied while they left the school building, telling her friend goodbye before she headed for the bus stop while the other got into a car where her mother was waiting. 

The eighth grader thought about what will happen when the game loads. She doesn't really know the premise of the game and nor does she want to research for she wants it to be a surprise. She put her bets on it being a horror game or an RPG cause she liked those type of games. She was lost in thought she couldn't even hear the bus driver's calls for her if she was coming on aboard. Then she snapped out of it, apologized to the impatient-looking driver, and got onto the bus. Tab opened her bookbag and took out her iPod and earbuds, popping them in her ears and listening to whatever song came on shuffle which was Amsterdam by Imagine Dragons. Even though the band that was playing at the moment was one of her favorites, her mind still drifted off on what was the game going be. 

When Tabatha arrived home, she threw down her bookbag, headed towards the kitchen and scavenged around for food, saying hello to her mother who was upstairs and greeted her. Dinner passed and soon the girl bid goodnight to her parents and headed upstairs, checking the remaining amount of time for the download to complete and deciding on that she'll sleep on it and load it the next morning. Despite her friend's constant messages over Skype that asked about the game, she went to sleep.

Around 4:13am, Tab and every single soul in the neighborhood fast asleep, a banner popped up on the computer screen,

"The World: Complete."
