Prologue: The murdered man
Damien jumped on his bed, clutching onto a copy of pokemon leafgreen. Feeling the bed wobble from the force of his bounce, he eagerly slotted the cartridge into his Gameboy system. He couldn't wait to see how this hacked game he bought off the internet worked.
Accessing the familiar menu screen, Damien clicked on 'New Game'. Everything still looked normal. He picked charmander as his starter, managed to beat his rival and easily advanced to Viridian city. It was there that he encountered the first hack.
An old man was lying in the middle of the road, blocking his path. This was a normal feature in the game, and he would have dismissed it, if not for one thing: the old man was covered in blood. When he talked to the sobbing woman beside him, she told him that the man was her father, and he had been killed by a mystery man. Feeling disgusted at the how sadistic the hacker was, Damien started to hit the button to shut his game without saving, thinking he had enough of it. Before he could press the button, however, he noticed something he had previously overlooked; a hooded man in a brown coat stood behind the old man. The text box suddenly appeared, showing three words : "COME WITH ME…"
Then, the game suddenly shut off by itself.
Later that night, Damien sat curled up on the sofa with his parents, watching the evening news. Usually, he paid no attention to the program, as he felt it was boring, always broadcasting stuff about crime and natural disasters and such. Today, however, something managed to pique his interest.
The reporters were interviewing a crying woman. Between her sobs, she moaned about the loss of her dear father, who was cruelly murdered that afternoon. According to the woman, she had seen a 'hooded man in a brown coat' with her father before his death.
Damien was alarmed by this similarity in the game and real life. Switching on his hacked leafgreen again, he was determined to play to until the part the old man got murdered again. But as he accessed the menu screen, yet another strange thing happened.
Instead of showing 'New game', which was what Damien expected, it showed only one option: "CONTINUE". Strange, he remembered that he didn't save the game before shutting down. He had no choice but to choose that option, and he found himself back at Viridian, with the bloody man still in front of him. Looking up, the saw the hooded man still standing before him. Before Damien could do anything, another text box suddenly appeared.
"ONE LIVE LOST. OTHERS TO FOLLOW. "
Then, as before, the game was abruptly shut off.
