I Met A Stranger Online

Chapter 2: Download Installed

"Here we go"

Create an account. Tutorials. Finally you can play the game.

" You only have five seconds to kill the enemy."

"Okay! This might help to ease up the boredom", Josh telling himself.

Battles after battle he easily go up to Grandmaster since he had once played with his friends in high school like RAN online, Counterstrike, DOTA, Tetris and a like.

Then one day, he finally had a chance to win an Angela in Magic Wheel. Tried once in Classic game. Tried and tried until he can the perfect hero. He even watched tutorials on playing the character. The emblem set to use. Build to buy during the game. Heroes to use for her ultimate.

Angela became the main support of Josh in every game. He'll use it in when necessary that he can think of, perhaps in any game.

Later did he know that Angela was stereotyped and was used ONLY by girls. Yes, people think that every Angela user is a girl. People always asking for his name. FB account and any personal details. In games that he is the MVP or they won the Rank Game.

This time he finally learned his lesson that to every flirt invites that he gets his response would be "Lalaki po ako" and please see my profile to see who are you flirting with. Thus resulted to humiliation that he is gay. Only gays use Angela. Trashtalk talk here and there.

Another lesson learned: Never initiate a conservation you are not prepared to fight with.

Silence. Maybe that is the best. People will not humiliate nor trashtalk you if you maintain your silence. Just play the game for fun. Play with it.

Unexpectedly, a Ling user on the opposite side is bugging Angela off.

Ling: Angela, dapat talaga kakampi kita e. Para ako na sapian mo.
Angela: Ano kaya yun? Madami kayang kakampi dyan na pwedeng mag Angela.
Ling: E ikaw gusto kong Angela e.
Ling: Sige na kahit isang beses lang pa sapi naman.
Angela: Loko-loko di pwede. Sabihan mo si Moontoon.
Ling: Sabay tayo mag farm. Bigay ko lahat sayo.
Angela: Loko-loko talaga. Support po ako aanhin ko naman yung buff?
Ling: Sige picture na lang tapos gala tayo sa game.
Angela: Sige. Basta wag mo ako patayin ha.

Unfortunately, a Harley user killed Ling. Couple of stuns and skills with a final hit of Flameshot.

Ling: KJ ng Harley niyo...
Harley: Luh game kaya to. Wag landian.
Ling: Pre, classic lang to o. ML na Ml ka lang?

Josh won the game. A notification of follower pop up. Then he accepted it. After accepting Ling, a couple of messages was sent.

Ling: Salamat po.
Ling: Maraming salamat po.
Ling: 😍
Josh: Para saan po yung "Thank you"?
Ling: Sa pag accept po.

The conversation went on. As the questions got deeper and deeper.

Finally, Josh said look into my bio for my profile is real.

This is the time that he knows who Ling is, Justin, an engineering student from Cavite.

An unexpected friendship blossoms. As the two plays for the rank game, again using Angela and Ling.
