different worlds// hwarang

chapter two

'enter hwarang'

"What in the world?" I say to myself whilst scanning the USB

This definitely does not belong to me, but it looks like it does. Why would I have even dropped this? I never had it in the first place.

I glance back at my laptop and back to the device in my hand.

It must be mine if it has my name on it... right?

Eh, what harm will a USB do?

Slowly climbing back onto my bed, I pull my laptop into my lap and put the USB in the port. The screen of my laptop opens and the notification of something being connected erupts from the device's speaker.

I look at the contents of the USB but all it has is a small app named 'hwarang: for Kim Yuna'

Okay, it's definitely mine then... or it was made for me?

Curiosity getting the best of me, I double click on the file.

A small blue screen opens, and it shows all the faces of hwarang making me smile widely at their handsome faces. Their faces disappear and all of a sudden, a question appears on the screen.

Are you ready to travel to Silla?

Yes               No

After clicking yes, it tells me to enter my name, not sure what it write, I put in someone else's

Soo Ho|

Error: Existing Character

Name taken?? Okay well, I suppose I could put my mother's name.

Kim Seyo|

As I am mid entering her name, I see a little warning pops up on the screen

Choose your real name, if you use someone else's, they will be involved in the game, not you.

I guess I'll have to put my real name then...

Kim Y|

Kim Yuna|

ACCESS GRANTED

Continue game             Start a new game

Warning, choosing to continue the game may lead to drastic difficulties

Continue the game?? Does that mean someone was on here before...

I press start a new game and all the lights in my room turn off leaving the laptop screen to be the only thing illuminating the expanse of my bedroom.

I push my laptop off my lap and try to turn the lights back on.

They do not turn on.

I feel my way back to my bed where my laptop is sitting

Slightly nervous, I glance back at the screen

Are you ready to enter Hwarang?

Yes No

My hand hovers over the no before I quickly change my mind and press yes.

The entire screen turns off leaving me in pitch blackness.

Out of nowhere, I hear a small voice, making me jump nearly five feet in the air

"I was wondering when you were going to arrive, your majesty."

Those were the last words I heard before losing all my feelings and falling to the ground.
