Ethiopia Falls: Terminator Salvation

Description

A mysterious game, without a cover, is implanted in Kim Jonghyun's bag after school, but without question he decides to place it in his computer. Being a pro at MMORPG's, he gets siked at the graphics and world map screened on the start window of multiple players on already.

Without forewarning, he falls into a deep sleep at his desk. All he see's is a man carrying a dead woman in his arms, her blood is soaking her silk blue dress and the man's face is blurry. He turns to see a small girl laying to his right, assuming she's dead as well, he steps back, fearful. The crown imprinted on her forehead breaks, and the design is now on his right hand.

He stares at it, wide eyed till a pixilated spark in the ceiling catches his attention. When his attention shifts, the crimson dot becomes clearer and a blue crescent shape forms around it. Stars appear, and a dark figure is coming from the only light in the room.

A theatre area is suddenly surrounding him, gold rimmed chairs and red seats. The once dark figure is now a sandy blonde, blue eyed male sitting in the middle of the top floor. Underneath him is a table, only seating two small child like bodies.

A woman enters, she's small, her hair is equally sandy blonde. Her eyes are a pink and red tinted color.

"Without God by your side, life is a game you can't enjoy for the ride." She says. "Welcome, new player. This-" she points at the man sitting in the midst of the top floor, "is your 'God,' he is your creator. You are not to defy him, understood?"

I stand motionless.

"Let me explain just one important thing to you - call it me being nice, because I think I like you - don't ask for help from anyone in the outside world. It'll be your termination. Depending on the help and way it was asked will determine what level of punishment you will receive. By level of punishment of course I mean how you will die."

I couldn't even gulp, my mouth was too dry. My lips were completely chapped.

"This is your new armor." A blue levitating ball flew to me and I caught it with my hand without a thought, wind gusted on me only for a split second and all I could hear was heavy metal plastering itself on my skin. "Tiffany Hwang. You are a level 10 already." She looked me up and down, confused and then looked at the man. He nodded, leaving her no chance to argue. "Congratulations, I will now send you off to your next mission."

"Wait!" I yelled boldly. "Who is Tiffany Hwang and what happened to the little girl?"

"What little girl?" She asked in a deep tone, her right eyebrow lifting higher than the other.

"She was a small blonde girl. She had pointy ears and... and a gold crown on her forehead just like this!" I ran towards her small body, shoving my hand in her face so she could she the imprint on my finger nails.

For a second, she seemed startled then angry and shoved my hand away. "It seems scum know scum." She mumbled briefly.

"Excuse me?" I questioned, noticing now my girly voice.

"Her name is Kim Taeyeon and you need not worry about who she is. She's long gone." She replied harshly.

"B-but"

"I don't want to hear it. Now get out!" Her small body became engulfed in flames and thorns. Roses plastered to her hands, blood seeping out of them.

I ran, I ran as fast as I could but the heavy metal slowed me down. It seemed like ages before I reached the outside, but all I saw were wounded players. Then, I spotted an exit with a tall girl limping away from it, phone in hand.

There were phones here? In a virtual game?

Seconds later, her head rolled past me and I stared at her caramel face, examining every part. Her honey colored eyes stared back at me in horror, moving towards a dark demonic creature above her. Picking her up by her curly red hair, he smiled at her and simply said "Player 890812: Aria Patterson - Termination complete"

Chapter 1: I forgot to write this in my first comment so I'm just gonna write a new one. I'm a little confused to how they see things. Like how Jjong can see Key and what it looks like to him. I mean, does Key stand next to Taeyeon or is he like a 'picture' (couldn't find a better word to describe it...) from the shoulders and up, who of course moves and is rather big and behind Taeyeon (I know I didn't explain that, that well but I hope you get the idea... Just, what does it look like? Could you try to describe it so that I can have a better picture in my mind when reading this? That was all I guess, just please update soon! Thank you auther-nim
