Good night, world.
PREMISE: [Name] [last name] was just an ordinary person. Nothing special nor had any real talent. The only talent they had was in PLANET. A virtual world where people like them go to escape reality.
But what if they met someone in PLANET, who believes the world is a shitty of shittest place. Or should I say, a childhood friend they didn't even knew they were talking to.
CW: Terrible Grammer and probably spelling mistakes ð
"Hey, [Name]! Wanna hang out after school?" A group of co-workers called out towards to you as today's meeting have just ended. "No thanks, I have some things to do." You apologized with a nervous smile. This disappoints the group before they say their farewells and left.
"I have something, way more important..."
You walked back home.
"This world..."
You entered your house.
"It's nothing but of boring people..."
You get to your room, setting down your bag before sitting in your chair. The only light source in the room was the computer.
"So, that's why..."
You grabbed your headset and placed it on your head, starting it.
"'PLANET' Is my only escape."

"Ichi!"
Your lively and bright character calls out, running towards a short man with a dark red hat and slanted down eyes. "Ah, hey [User]! Long time no see! What's been keeping ya?" Ichi greets, with the smile that always makes you swoon.
"Ah, y'know. Work and stuff! Nothing important!" You laughed nervously. "And guessing by the way you look. Wanna raid some dungeons?"
"You know it! I need to blow off some steam!" Ichi huffed, quickly summoning his sword. "C'mon, I wanna make sure all those monsters are killed!"
"Gotcha!" You smiled, the two of you running towards the direction of a nearby dungeon.
_________________________________________
After getting some loot and getting lots of EXPS. There was awkward silence that fell upon the two of you.
Quiet.
Quiet
And quiet.
Then Ichi spoke.
"Say, what are you like irl?"
Your avatar stiffen. Taken aback from the question. "Ah... what do you mean?"
"Like, what do you do... on a regular basis?" Ichi explains in more detail as his gaze trailed towards your form. "Like. Anything interesting or something."
You were silent.
You didn't even utter a word before suddenly your logout plush appears in your place.
Ichi eyes widen before he starts hitting himself. "Shitshitshitshit! I messed up for shit!"
_________________________________________
You placed down your headset on the table. A blank and dead expression was written all over your face before you let out a exasperated sigh.
"When did something interesting even happen to me...."
Your mind wanders through your memories, trying to recollect anything exciting or something that can make you even slightly interesting.
"Ah...."
Then you remembered.
TaichirÅ Arima.
You're childhood best friend.
And...
Your first love.
You remember back in those days, the world around didn't seem to matter. All that matter was TaichirÅ was there with you.
You had a big time crush on him ever since pre-school, but ever since his... sister passing, he started distancing himself and shutting everyone. You haven't seen him in a long time.
But, how would you even bring this up Ichi?! He probably doesn't even want to hear you rambling about your ex-childhood crush! That's boring.
You lay your head against the wooden table. A frown on your lips as you were ultimately fighting with yourself if you should log back in and tell Ichi either way.
....
"I'm gonna take a break...."
Who knew you're life and everyone else's was going to take a turn.

It's been almost a month since the pandemic started, monsters from PLANET roaming around, looking for their next meal. But fortunately, most of humankind have adapt to them started killing them before they could get kill.
But bad side was that most have lost their homes, now they're seeking refuge in a safety shelters.
"Ah... this is so..." You let out a sigh after sticking your axe into one the monsters that were trying to kill you. Your stats have raised up, but your mood certainly didn't.
You quickly put down your axe and start looking through the old house, in hopes to find some kind of food or necessities in the old broken down house.
Then you came across a game....
It was a board game, this quickly catches your attention as you reached out and picked it up.
"I remember...." you smiled to yourself as a old memory comes flying back.

"Wahh! How come you're so good at this TaichirÅ!" Younger you cried out as the boy in front of you grinned.
"Because, I've been mastering this game for months! No one can get to my level, not even you!" Young TaichirÅ said, triumphly.
You pouted before you quickly rolled up you sleeves. "One more game! This time, you'll see!"
"Fine! But I'll still beat you!" TaichirÅ exclaims as the two of you played again.
You laughed and had fun...
_________________________________________
You make your way back to the safety shelter in Wakagi. You walk towards the guards and show your ID before being let in.
As you walk back to your small space, you notice a young high schooler who looked quite familiar.
Wait...
Is that TaichirÅ's young brother? What was his name.... Asuma?
How come you're just notcing this now? Well, maybe you kept your head low or probably don't pay attention to the environment as much...
You whipped your head the other way, not wanting to be caught gawking. If TaichirÅ's brother was here.... than that means-
Your heart start beating faster, you lips formed a thin line as you clenched your heart. "No! I can't-" You thought to yourself. "-This isn't even the right time! Besides, his family is probably having a hard time as well..."
After a few minutes, you managed to calm down your heart. Taking a deep breath, you slowly reached into your bag and pulled out your phone, it was almost sunset.
"Maybe... we can rest easy." You muttered under your breath as you slowly close your eyes, in hopes to get some peace...
Then you hear people gasps all around you.
This confuses you, slowly opening you eyes to see what was the commotion about.
But only to meet face to face with a white face, it's black soulless eyes staring at yours.
You let out petrified scream as you quickly got up and tried to run, but to see the walls and floors cover in the same colorless face.
"What the hell-" you cursed under you breath, your gaze looking all around as the walls started to glitch. It's as if the world itself was slowly crumbling down.
You quickly pulled out your axe, ready to fend off this mysterious entity. But the something caught your eye.
TaichirÅ running out of the building in a hurry. You furrowed your brows, wondering what the hell TaichirÅ is thinking.
But...
You run after hum.
_________________________________________
"Taichiro! Taichiro!" You yelled out through the crumbles of the city, trying to look for the guy. You were panicking to say at least, the world is practically crumbling and TaichirÅ is here running around.
You gritted you teeth, ready to find him and give the scolding of his life.
But after running around, you came across a school, the gate broken down into shreds as of someone used something to tear it down.
You slowly took a step closer, ready to whatever you were going to face.
But then...
You heard... crying?
You peeked around the corner, your eyes slightly widen as you see Taichiro...
But there was also something else...
"...Ichi?"
TaichirÅ turns on his heels, staring back at you with the same wide eyes while the boy next to him in the ground continue to sob.
TaichirÅ's mouth was slightly agape as he took a step closer to you...
"....[User]?"
You quickly held in your tears as you quickly ran towards him and hugged him as tight as you can. All this time, Ichi, the man that you felled in love with, that helped you through dungeons....
Was the same man that was your childhood best friend and crush...
