The entire game event went viral online after an announcement from Skyler Mazer, in the news article.

“The game event will be cancelled, the upcoming next event… it was brought to me that all top gamers and pro-gamers are ganging up against Derrick, and broke the one rule of the gaming community to never play dirty, as for the rankings, it will be changed, since the damage was brought to Derrick then he will rank one, and no more other top ranking players, whether they like it or not.” Skyler said in his speech,

It has been 12 days still nobody went back to play, and even Derrick, who live streamed a different company’s games, it was no help for Skyler, he asked the gamers to find out what should he do, Tellem responded in a comment, “Make Derry prove that he is worth it of top 1, if he defeats SeaSalt, then we will come back” all top gamers agreed, Skyler went to contact SeaSalt but he didn’t respond. Skyler begged, and Seasalt finally agreed, but Derry want it to happen live, but Seasalt declined, then Tellem and Lemonyc begged him to just wear mask or something else, but Skyler agreed to do it online.

SeaSalt had won 2 rounds, and Derry won 3rd round, and finally at the 4th round SeaSalt won. Skyler lost his balance, it was then he realized his impulsiveness has brought him his downfall. No gamers ever comeback only some few gamers who are newly joined, some gamers played on other games. Skyler become harder to manage, he kept ordering everyone, especially Cindy. “Cindy! You call this plans? Ideas? It’s crap! You don’t know how to work!” Skyler yelled in the office, everyone felt sympathy towards Cindy, but Cindy must kept it together because she needs money so she could bring their mother back to the Philippines so they can live peacefully after their mother receive her treatment first. “Yes sir, I’ll do my best” Cindy said, while gritting her teeth. She went back to her work, finding something to solve this problem, she chatted most of the pro-gamers especially SeaSalt.

It was Derrick, “Oh sorry, you can have it…” Derrick said it, Sean then pick it up and grabbed another one from behind another phoenix soda, he gave it to Derrick. “Here this one is much colder” Sean said nonchalantly and went to the counter. Derrick followed, “Have we met before?” Derrick asked, “No” Sean replied, “Your voice sounds familiar, are you a gamer?” Derrick asked, but Sean didn’t reply, and left immediately.

16 Years Ago

I was 7 years old back then, my younger brother was 7 months younger than me, my mom got pregnant when I was 10 months old, since she got sick before giving birth to my younger brother, and he needs attention, while I was under the care of my grandparents on my father side, with so many aunties to take care of me, I was 1 year old back then when I was sent away, as what my grandma told me, my older brothers were 4 and 2 years older than me. My father visited me, almost once in a month for 2 days, then he will go back to my mother. I turned 3 I never saw my mom, and apparently I got a younger sister.

It was Tuesday afternoon, I remembered I was 5, my sister got sick, a fever they say, while I was sent because I got hit by a bike and got frost bite, they were told what happened to me, but they only said they will send money, but when I arrived at the hospital they look worried with my sister, while I was barely breathing in a stretcher. I was brought in the emergency room, the doctor take a look first at my sister when I was there first, I could hear the nurse immediately brought me to the ICU as I was catching my breath. After they ensured my safety I was brought in the ward, while my sister was brought to a private room. My family were rich as what I know, after I was able to walk again, I went to my sister’s nobody was there, she looked at me saying I look like mother but a young boy, indeed I somehow looked like my mother, her orange hair, and orange eyes, I didn’t say anything then the nurse and my parents came in, my parents were surprised to see me, “Young boy do you know her? Where are your parents?” The nurse asked, didn’t know she’s with them, “My parents? I’ve always wondered where are my parents, I’m from the orphanage so I don’t know” I replied, while smiling brightly, the nurse told my parents what had happened to me and my mother cried, wants to hug me but I move away, “I don’t hug strangers” I said and walked away, “Will you play with me? If we got better?” My younger sister asked, “No, never” I replied bitterly.

Days passed they tried to visit me, but I told the nurse I don’t feel safe when they visited me, then they pulled the parent card, the nurses and doctors were looking at them with disdain, gossiping about how they abandoned a child, they tried to explain, but as they went on that I was already discharge without them noticing. I went back to my grandparents.
