Author note

Hey guys, thanks alot for staying around for more content but I decided to turn this story into a choice and plot based game

You will get to make your own decisions as the main character to resolve the issues presented, your own actions will get to shape the story all the while not straying off too far from the main plot.

The game will be completely free but I'm going to need a decent amount of subscribers before dedicating time to it

Updates and art for it will be provided later on

For now, the story will continue normally but maybe subjected to change for improvement

Thank you

Chapter 1

Seated on my comfortable bed crouched over with a remotely cold controller in my hands felt peaceful

The darkness in my room would've felt intimidating if it weren't for the glowing screen in front of me

It was the only light there is

interacting with fictional worlds, getting goals finished all the while making friends was just so much easier

So much happier

I wish I can enter that world, I wish for a way that just maybe just maybe after death I do somehow end up in a happier place

sometimes the unknown gives me hope like that

"Nora? Are you still playing games? Don't make me confiscate them"

I reluctantly reached for the off button then turned right to face the stack of books and notes scattered carelessly on my bed

I have procrastinated for too long, it wasn't like I actually wanted to avoid writing the notes, it's just that there is something annoying with me

I do want to finish it as soon as possible, deep down I really didn't want to be lazy and pressured but it's just so difficult to get rid of that strong urge to over use my time for games

Maybe there is therapy for this?

As I flipped through the first pages of my literature text book, my phone's notification sound rang it was pretty faint compared to the air conditioner's sound so I almost couldn't hear it

If it turned out to be my friend Claire, I would get too over occupied to continue reading because talking to her is a lot of fun but seriously distracting

I ignored the notification and continued to study, today's topic is the traditions of the native Americans

It isn't necessary for me to be reading any of this but my parents don't want me to have a break so they decided to act like teachers

The phone let out a second notification sound, feeling a bit more agitated and curious I tried my best to ignore it but then the third sound closely followed

fourth, fifth, sixth

I felt struck with anxiety since there aren't any over active apps on my phone which leaves my friend to be the only explanation and she doesn't text alot something must be up

Quickly I reached for my phone to look at the text previews

They were all from her

You MUST come to my house at Friday this week

I've got something I bet you would die for

it's nothing like I ever experienced before

but I'm keeping it a surprise plus you have to keep it a secret after I show you okay?

friends are supposed to trust each other after all

it's really worth it

I let out a sigh of relief

This isn't like her at all but I'm glad, it's pretty strange and out of character for her to type that much since she has depression so naturally not alot of things excite her

Whatever that surprise is must be great but why should it be a secret? She's is usually paranoid and distrustful even towards me

I'm getting that weird gut feeling that usually happens right before something dramatically goes both wrong and right with my life

I only have one idea what Claire has, but I keep it quiet. Let's see if my assumption is right in the next chapter.
