Young Writers Society

Jason and Edwards looked petrified upon being locked in a cell in the corner of a dark prison.

They saw an old man sitting in the corner of the cell.His face was covered with some material though not distinctly visible as to what it really was.

Edwards said,"Ahh! Hello, Old guy.All's good?"

The old man stared at them angrily and picked up some piece of thrash material and violently threw that at them.

Jason screamed,"Watch what you are doing,you old thing"

Edwards asked the old man who he was and asked him to stand up.

Jason said,"We are locked in this cell by a baby, I mean a wicked evil baby and his zombie soldiers.We meant not to do any harm to anyone or any property.You know how we can get rid of here?"

The old man stood up and shed his old clothes.He did not look so old. He was wearing a cloak underneath .

The old man said,"Hello outsiders, my name is Evian Lawrence and I was a scientist in Articus Base3. Due to huge demand of entertainment in Articus Base 2 ,I along with a group of scientists created a game wherein humans can enter the digital world and battle against virtual monsters."

Edwards said,"Ok tell me more about it."

Evian said,"Slowly I started realizing that this world had a capability to modify human information and trap them.So in the next phase we designed a demorpher device to sync us back and forth between real and virtual dimensions that existed in parallel but one day while escaping the digital world, my demorpher fell during a battle in Level-1 with the zombies and it was destroyed.All my colleagues were lucky to have escaped but the energy released on destruction of the demorpher created several anti elements in this world that resulted in three wicked elements. It created three phases of evil.

The baby phase which you just witnessed in the form of the destiny's child.It is not real but it is made of corrupt data.The data which brings stubbornness and angriness in the virtual game characters.You must defeat it to advance to next level."

Edwards said,"Continue talking old man.You have to describe other two phases.So keep talking"

Evian said,"The next evil element created is by the corrupt data of greed,lust and jealousy.It is the feeling every person develop once he grows into an adult.It resulted in the creation of Myra,the evil sorceress.Beware her mesmerizing spells.Everyone felt for it. The third phase represent wisdom and knowledge and represent an adult who has acquired knowledge of life and reasoning and wisdom.The third phase of evil resulted in the creation of Ofro,The wizard.He can only be defeated by sheer knowledge and cleverness."

Jason said,"Do we need to beat all of them to get out of here?"

Evian replied,"I fear you have to.If a wanderer in the digital domain carries a demorpher, the instrument generates a gateway that helps him escape this domain bypassing all threats from these.But since you don't have the device,I guess this is the only way out of here."

Jason shouted,"Since you know how to get out of this place,why are you still here.You did not even give a try"

Evian said,"I tried youngman but i do not have the strength to battle these forces.I was captured and locked in this prison.But you must know that every world that is in existence is not unstable.To stabilize or balance out the evil, the energy from the demorpher has created two special weapons. The first is the sword of the decoder which can wipe out the destiny's child.The other is the mirror of fate that can trap Myra,the sorceress."

Edwards said,"How to defeat the evil wizard at third phase?"

Evian said,"Remember what I told you.Ofro is wise and intelligent.You do not need any weapons.You need to use your reasoning and cleverness to tackle him. Once someone defeats all the evil characters, the gateway to real world opens up and it remains open till three years in virtual domain which is approximately half an hour of time in real world.Hence we age much faster in this domain and I lost all my strength in nearly a week where several years passed for me in this domain.If you do not hurry up you will face the same fate.After that the gateway shuts down and these characters are brought to life again and they wait for the next traveler"

Jason said,"The story sounds really spooky and creepy."

Evian said,"The sword of decoder must be found out and the destiny's child must be annihilated. That will mark the end of level-1 and you can then proceed to level-2.I know you can do it and I shall accompany you in your entire journey and together I know we can overcome any odds and after all we humans are creators and we shall extinguish the evil energy our our creations."

Edwards said,"You know old man that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed".

Jason said,"But we shall neutralize this energy and convert into such a form that it causes harm to no one,not any more"

At this a zombie soldier appeared in front of their cell and asked them not to make much noise.

How will the old man,Evian help them to get out of the mysterious digital world.

Mystery unfolds in next Episode.
