I smirked. Upon seeing my opponent, I'm sure he will be an easy kill. His armor is all shattered, and every cut he had in his body is dripping blood. I grip the hilt of my katana tightly; the pressure is on. We are both wounded and already tired, but his state is more crucial than mine.

"Ready?" I mockingly asked. He didn't speak; instead, he unsheathed his sword and lunged it towards my direction. I deflected his sword and moved my body sidewards.

He twisted his sword, but he failed to make my katana fall because my grip is tighter than before. He smirked and jumped backward.

The sound of the swaying grass is echoing in the field. He was looking intently into my eyes as he held his sword using both of his hands. He wanted to end our battle immediately.

I was about to launch my attack when somebody pulled my VR Goggles. I groaned when I look at him. He was tapping his finger in his arm while they are crossing each other.

"Look at the time, Lexie." Logan said in a monotone. When I checked the time, I pouted; it was already 2:30 A.M. I am still playing. We both heard an annoying laugh coming from the computer.

"I won, Scarlett." Hunter said on the line.

"You didn't. Logan removed my VR Goggles." I said. I am actually annoyed because it was my moment, I knew that I could win our battle, but my stupid brother just killed that moment.

"Hunter, matulog na kayo. Stop acting like damn teenagers, may mga trabaho pa tayo mamaya." Inis na sabi ni Logan. He is acting like a grampa. Maybe I was so loud earlier while stamping my feet because of the excitement that I woke him up.

"Dude, you forgot?" Hunter asked. I opened the video call, and now we can see each other. He was looking Logan curiously and eyeing him suspiciously.

"What?" Logan asked. Lumingon ako sa kaniya saka siya pinagtaasan ng kilay.

"Reunion, kuya." I said. He made a face as if he was trying to remember the reunion that we all set last week.

"Oh. I forgot." He said. He suddenly faces Hunter and yawns, "But, please fucking sleep right now."

"Yes, boss," Hunter said while laughing. Logan kissed my forehead before going out of my room. I saw how Hunter pouted his lips.

"What?" I asked innocently.

He made a sad face making me laugh; He was doing his childish antics again. Gusto na naman niyang magpababy.

"Usto ko rin niyon. Huhu, sad na si Hunter." He said. He sounded like a kid wanting stupid ice cream.

"Haha, stop that. Alam mong walang epek 'yan sa akin." Natatawa kong sabi. Tampo niya akong inirapan dahil para lalo akong matawa,"Just wait until our wedding, okay? Isang buwan na lang, Baby Hunter." parang bata kong sabi. I even smile twinkle my eyes para manahimik siya.

I saw how flustered he became that he even drink his water near him to minimized his tension. Even though we are screen apart, I can quickly tell his emotions."Shet, ang cute nung baby girl ko."

I raised my brow, "Baby girl? Do you have a baby boy?" Medyo masungit kong tanong and then someone suddenly popped inside my head,"Si Travis? Sabi ko na ba—"

"Hey! Stop that, para kang siraulo na shiniship kaming dalawa ni Travis. We're just friends, and for fuck's sake, I like peaches."

I gave him a severe look. Here we go again. May natutuhan talaga siya sa pagsama niya kay Austin. I felt lousy tuloy to Hallie; her husband is a fucking pervert.

"Let's sleep na," He said while yawning. I gave him a flying kiss that he caught. Chessy.

"Goodnight, I love you, Hunter."

"Goodnight, I love you more, Scarlett."

"PARTY! PARTY!" The twins are leading the noise. The club is already noisy because of the loud music and the people partying outside. We are inside the VIP room because this reunion is exclusive for the squad we built five years ago.

Nakasanayan na namin na every month may isang araw kaming nakalaan para sa isa't-isa. Some of them are still acting like stupid teenagers, well, not Zeus.

"Ang tagal ni Clover." Bulong ni Maddie na nasa tabi ko. She was texting her boyfriend who was stuck in the middle of heavy traffic on the highway of San Pablo City. "Waaa! Scar, look he texted named as abby."

Pinakita niya sa akin yung text ni Clover. And I freakin' gave her a severe look, hindi ko rin napigilan ang kamay ko sa pagsapak sa kanya.

Cloverfinger💙:

Wait for me, abby.

Cloverfinger💙:

*baby

Cloverfinger💙:

OH SHIT. HERE WE GO AGAIN.

"That is a fucking typo, Maddie." I bluntly said. She pouted and immediately typed something on her phone, "Pero what the hell is that nickname?"

"Ayun yung nasa kanta nung Clover ah." Sabi niya. She was trying hard to remember the damn lyrics, and she faced me, "Lahat sisimutin sarap ay uubusin lover ng clover, may clover finger!" she sang.

"Stupid."

"Hate you." She mumbled. Ngumisi na lamang ako sa kanya saka umalis sa harap niya, kinuha ko ang isang basong milkshake na nasa lamesa na para sa akin talaga.

I suddenly felt an arm wrapping around my waist. Masamang tingin ang binigay ko kay Hunter who was kissing my cheek, "Stop that. Ang baho mo, amoy alak."

"Tsk." Napansin kong bumitaw siya sa akin at may kung anong kinuha sa likod. Umupo ako sa isang stool bar saka humarap sa kanila, I saw the undefeated Hunter approaching my place again.

"Can I kiss you now?" He asked innocently. I squinted my eyes because he was munching something and the smell of alcohol lessen.

"What are you eating?"

"No—nothing." Hindi ako naniwala because I can see that he is clearly lying. Kinilatis ko siya nang ayos at nakita ko ang isang piece of evidence bawat ng isang candy.

Pinisil ko ang pisnge niya upang bumuka iyon. At natampal ko rin siya dahil nilamon niya ang potchi na pang mamaya kong gabi. Tangina, nakaschedule na 'yun.

"Huhu, pang mamaya ko pa 'yan e." mangiyakngiyak kong sabi. Hunter suddenly looked at me with annoyance and dialed a number on his phone, "Hey, malapit ka na? Can you drop to a fucking store or whatever and buy a dozen pack of potchi. 'Di ba parang tanga? Ang tanda na isip bata pa rin. Right, right—Ingat, dude."

He must be talking to Travis. I pouted because he was clearly pertaining to me— 'I am the isip bata' kahit siya naman talaga iyon.

"Happy?" He suddenly pulled me and wrapped his arms around my waist."Ang panget, putcha." he said and bit the tip of my nose. I groaned; tears started to show in the corner of my eyes.

"I hate you."

"Pota, reunion natin 'to ah. Bakit naglalandian lang yung dalawang 'yun doon?" Dinig kong sabi ng isang bagong dating. I gave Hunter a quick kiss saka ako lumapit kina Keigo. I stick my tongue out para asarin si Richard na walang jowa.

"Woi, Richard na panget. Amin na." Inis kong bungad sa kanya.

"Bro, parang tanga yung kapatid mo. Sabing hindi ako yung nag-text sa kanya nung hole-hole na nareceive nya rati." Inis niyang sabi kay Keigo. I squinted my eyes; hindi ko pa rin kasi alam kung sino yung nagbigay sa akin ng message inside the game. I am pertaining to the warning about something like do not enter the hole we made.

Keigo gave me a kiss on my forehead at hindi pinansin si Richard. Nag-brofist sila ni Logan, "Is she staying up late just to play Darren's game?"

"Yes, dude. And someone is spoiling her." Pagpaparinig ni Logan kay Hunter na tumawa lamang nang malakas.

"Nakakaadik naman talaga yung bagong dinevelop ni Professor e." Komento ni Thalia then she freaking drink a shot of tequila. Eww.

Ako na lang talaga ang hindi nainom ng alak sa aming lahat. I'm such an angel.

"Yey! Ako nag-boses sa first NPC doon!" Pagpapahanga ni Hallie habang natungga ng beer. Tsk, tsk, even Hallie is a bad influence now.

Wala pa sina Darren, Clover and Travis. Sila na lamang yung inaantay, I saw Zeus experimenting on his drink. He was mixing several drinks like a fucking idiot and I was shocked when he suddenly gave the drink to Austin, who quickly drank it, and after that ay binuga niya rin agad.

"Tangina, Zeus," Austin said. Tawang-tawa ako sa pwesto ko, Austin's face was priceless."Tangina, papatayin talaga ako ni Zeus."

"Not." Dahil human translator ako ni Zeus ay I am not talaga 'yun. Napailing na lamang ako sa kanila, the twins are dancing like freaking idiots while Noah and Anikka are both playing Wild Rift in the corner.

I suddenly felt the call of nature, so I excused myself and immediately went to the ladies' room. After the pee, mabilis akong lumabas sa ladies room.

"Oh, I'm sorry," I said to the lady who bumped me. The lady just looks at me. I was caught off guard by her crimson eyes. It was glaring at me, and when I blinked, she was already walking away from me.

Napatingin ako sa sahig at may nakita akong isang box. It was oddly looking box, kinuha ko iyon saka naisip ulit yung babae. Sinundan ko yung landas na tinahak niya but she was nowhere to be found. Inabot na rin ako sa labas ngunit hindi ko talaga siya makita.

I examined the box, and only had one port. It is like an insert area for a game chip.

"Woi, Scarlett ginagawa mo?" Rinig kong sabi ni Travis. Kasama niya si Clover at parehas silang may hawak na paper bag. Parehas sila lumapit sa akin, Clover gave a curious look to the box that I was holding.

"Travis, isn't that..." Clover said while pointing to the box.

"Let's go inside," Travis said. Agad kaming pumunta sa loob, they are rowdy, but when they saw us ay mas lalong lumakas ang ingay nila.

"Is Darren around?" Travis asked. Umiling ako saka sumagot, "Siya na nga lang kulang e."

"Let me take a look first to the box," Travis said. Binigay ko sa kanya yung box, and he suddenly pulled something in his pocket—A game chip.

They suddenly all became quiet. We are all watching Travis and the thing that he was doing.

"On our way here. We saw a woman who suddenly bumped Travis—akala ko nga forever niya na—"

"Clover, shut up. May girlfriend na ako. And besides, sa tingin ko galing din sa babaeng iyon ang box na 'to." Travis seriously said.

"So, anong laman nung box, Travis-kun?" Zayn suddenly asked.

"Let's find out." Travis said as he insert the gaming chip. The four corners of the box suddenly fell, and only a crimson-looking button is the only thing inside the box.

"Woi, Hunter ikaw ng pinakamalupet sa ating lahat 'di ba?" Zach nervously asked.

"And?"

"Push that thing." Nguso ni Zach sa box. Hunter rolled his eyes and pushed the button, and all of a sudden, the whole vicinity was covered with red looking circuits. The wall and floor are flashing the word 'error,' and it keeps on blinking.

"What the hell is happening?" Richard asked.

"Bobo, ikaw ang programmer katulad ni Darren dapat alam mo 'to." Austin said.

Everything turned black. I feel nostalgic, the same feeling when we all played Danima. A typing sound suddenly captivated our ears, I looked around, but the surrounding is still dim.
