While I reminisce about the tragedy that transpired here. I absentmindedly pack the globe inside the backpack.

Coming back to myself, I try to recollect what I was doing before. “Ehmmmm, yes I’m visiting my friend over the weekend and used the shortcut for it, and after locating myself I thought about the thinks that transpired here.”

I shake my head to come out of the tragic story I recollected and make my way over to my friend's home

I start following the path to my friends’ home.

What Leroy didn’t notice was the glint shone out of McGuffins home watching the bird take flight.

While Leroy slowly forgets what happened on that fateful day. Weeks go bye as Leroy enjoys his normal routine. Completely forgetting the weird snow globe in his backpack.

The Week goes on normally for Leroy. Going to school coming home to do his homework. Surfing the net in his free time for new and interesting Stuff or information he never heard before. Like do you know that some cats like to be spanked. It’s weird but still something new he didn’t know.

While learning about mind working and how some connect to how we play games or handle situations.

After taking a break and watching videos. An inspirational message caught him off guard re upping his passion for Programming as it was his passion since he was a child, Computer handling or playing Games on the Internet fascinated him since that day his sister showed him to the world of Browser games.

Since then, he started learning everything he could about The Internet and Computers. His passion sadly didn’t brought him far as his passion was overwritten by trying to succeed in school witch intertwined with his free time to study and after being suppressed for some time he started to forget why he even wanted to learn programming.

Which over time changed his wish from creating a game to becoming someone who can handle the ups and down of creating and publishing games to all audiences.

His hobby of learning new things came from the depressing fact of Television which repeats the same show over and over plus the fact that shows never rly started with the beginning but always in the middle which made it all so much unbearable to come in and watch it.

So, when an alternative was shown and all the downsides of doing the old thing came over he noticed something.

Like remembering clearly how it feels to find an interesting show but never be able to watch it from the beginning which brought the downside of missing information. Those little things coming again and again brought him slowly to a limit he himself didn’t know he had.

When that fateful day arrived. Being stuck at home with nothing but an TV access for 5 days and being repeatedly shown shows and specific episodes he already watched over 5 times. On that day something broke inside of him. Causing him to not be able to do the same thing over and over again which was strengthened by a promise he made to himself which was to never watch something more than once.

Which brings us back to his passion of Programming, which is essentially doing the same stuff over and over again. And like every child like promise there are no exceptions.

Which he holds truly till today, but only partly as some things need to be repeated to become a part of you. But as not to find himself a liar he tried to cheat himself with quote: “To become someone who can do everything you need to know everything”

A quote he often used which came hard down on him when he finally understood that programming isn’t the only part of creating a game and publishing it.

You first need to have An Idea of what you want to do, then you need to be able to formalize it.

Afterwards you need the Basic structure of every Video Game. The music, be it Background music which need to be fitting to the aspects you use it on. For example, a sad story shouldn’t have a happy background music.

But as much as you need music you also need sounds be it the little sound it makes when you push a button or the little detail of a character being annoyed after repeatedly talking to it. Be it emotions or reality its needed to connect the player to the game those little things are one of the most important ones.

You need a Story compelling enough for someone to get infested in. Be it like a script or with Design art which should represents a part of your ideas and ideals so you yourself can connect with the story you want to bring.

And lastly it needs to be fun. You are creating a game not a book or a movie, so it needs interaction able with the player. Which is an essential part of Video Games.

And all of this needs to be perfectly drawn together to make which is essentially only the base of a game.

As Leroy quotes to himself: “In a world where anyone can do anything, surprisingly no one does anything.”

As Leroy rambles to his friend in class about his sorrow of programming and life. When in reality he is just burned out from overtaxing his own body and mind with all the big planes he took on without spreading them probably.

As Leroy is rambling with his friend the bell sounds. Knowing school is over and it's Friday so he could play another new game which has come out with his friend today. With those thought Leroy made his way home taking the train with another new beautiful sight of the country and of course his friends the tourists.

Taking out his handy he looks up on the to do List he made himself. Probably gonna finish task 150 today. He mumbles to himself. While scenery runs past him.

Todays sight is a sunset with a squirrel riding the fox and a bear being dragged by hawk to the sunset.

Greeting his mother and telling her about his School day on the dinner table. Leroy makes his way downstairs to his room to do his homework afterwards he gonna work on his Task 150. Saving everything up in the cloud he makes his way to his bed and lays down to sleep.

While finally lying down earlier, as he normally goes to bed when his body clock screams at him to go to bed. Which entails teary eyes and a slow mind.

When he finally relaxes after a day of constant consume. He finally starts to find his thoughts again. After some time just laying down and doing nothing, he remembers something.

Standing up and walking to the corner of his room he checks on his backpack. As the Backpack he always uses are 2 different ones. One he takes to school and only has the bare minimum and the other is a survival backpack he made when had time in his otaku times.

This Backpack he brings to friend since he made it up. His friend encouraging him to take it with him and his family using is ideals to form a perfect alibi. Which state “hey son you do know you need to lift the whole thing if you want to use it right? And you also need to wear that thing constantly”.

That how his mother got him to take a routine fitness program he tills this day still uses. But mostly because of the encouragement he gains every day his mother sees him wearing the backpack and even taking it to his friend. She even got his friends family to take part of it so every time he goes to his friend’s house, he gets encouraged them too for taking such a difficult thing all the way to them.

Checking through the Backpack to see if anything needs to be refilled or replaced. Leroy notices after rummaging through his backpack a snow globe.

Looking back as to when he put such a weird thing in his backpack, he remembers that one day he went through the shortcut and rainbow light blinded him.

Looking back again he can’t quite remember when he put it inside but the only way it could have happened is when he reminiscent over the history of this place.

Inspecting the snow globe again he thinks to himself ´In retrospect I should have thought about it more we are a mountain village with more snow than normal over the season yes, but we never rly indulge in festivals over the winter like toys or snow globes.

Like this one we are always enjoying the occasion together in parties or just alone near the fire. But we never really were huge fans of this tourist entertainments. ´

Leroy takes out his smartphone and looks up snow-globe online.

Finding nothing nearly as the one he is holding right now.

Checking every possibility of such a snow globe being found under a steel frame in perfect condition in an abandoned factory.

He checks out all the way someone could gain such a think if he finds something, he will impersonate the buyer and reconstruct as to how it could have been lost.

But when he found out nothing about it. No whereabouts about a snow globe as this one in his hand for sale or production he kinda feels stunned.

Inspecting it closer he notices something special about it. All the snow globes he found on his research had a Interactable snow or a building or creature inside of it.

Trying to shake it he notices nothing happening not even the snow moving.

Looking closer it feels like somebody had just drawn snow onto it?

Taking out his magnifying glass to inspect it more closely he finds something weird. The “snow” on the globe doesn’t look like snow it more likely resembles white dust which is covering the interior of the globe.

Trying to rub the globe for a change. While rubbing the globe, he notices part of the stuff covering the interior falling off.

After some time rubbing, Leroy could see the complete interior of the Globe. Inside was an Island which was the middle of the ocean, waves crashing rhythmically against the cliffs of the island.

´It’s quite relaxing to watch. ` Leroy thinks to himself

To describe the things that are happening right now are quite difficult. But it’s easy to describe the island.

First of all, it has a weird broken-down Tower in the middle surrounding it are deserted villages and ruins.

On the top left is an endless reaching grass field with nothing else but dirt.

On the top right is and volcano surrounded by trees and completely severed from the rest of the island by a river.

On the bottom right is a lake surrounded by trees with a weird red like substance in the middle floating like a miniature island

On the Bottom left are mountains only mountains everywhere are mountains a never-ending mountain chain. Which is topped with a Snow tip for every mountain perfectly unified.

Leroy being stunned as what is happening right in front of him.

He sees a miniature island inside a Globe which doesn’t interact with the outside world as much as he shakes or routes the water isn’t changing.

While shaking the globe something comes to mind. Rotating the Globe to its bottom side revealed something. Inspecting it closer he sees Labeled, which wasn’t there before stating: “Project 158”

After reading the name everything went black for Leroy. He collapses on his backpack still holding the Globe.
