Hi! Meet Ray. Ray is not a superhero. He cannot fly. He does not wear shiny pants. Ray is just a boy, and right now, Ray is very sleepy. It was 3:00 AM In the small town of Little, everyone was sleeping. Cats were sleeping. Dogs were sleeping. Even the bugs were sleeping. But not Ray.
Ray was in his small room. His room looked like a volcano had exploded inside. Clothes were on the floor. Books were under the bed. very old pair of socks was near the fan. Let's not talk about how those socks smelled. Why was Ray awake? Because had a big dream. He wanted to be famous video star!Ray whispered to chair. "You are louder than my alarm clock!"Ray was fighting a monster. This monster did not have big teeth. It was an old, black laptop computer, Ray called it "Old Rusty". it was slower than a turtle on a lazy day."Please, Old Rusty, just save this video," Ray prayed. He looked like a zombie with red eyes.On the screen, a small line was moving very slowly. It was the progress bar. It said: Saving video. 10 years remaining.
Ray yelled quietly. "By that time, I will be a grandpa with white beard! Move faster, you turtle-computer!"Ray had just finished making a video about lie. He found out that the candy shop in town was selling "Super-Sour" bombs, but they were not sour at all. They tasted like sweet potatoes. Yuck! Ray wanted to warn all the children. He was an "Exposer," a truth-seeker!While waiting for Old Rusty, Ray got hungry. His belly made a loud RUMBLE-GRUMBLE sound. It sounded like a lion was in his tummy. okay, I will feed you," Ray said to his belly.He crawled under his messy desk. He was looking for food. He found piece of chips from last week. He smelled it.
"Still good," he decided and ate it. CRUNCH! Now, full from one single chip, he looked back at the screen."Yes! Almost there!" Ray did a little happy dance on his chair. The chair did a sad SQUEAK again.Just then, Old Rusty made a strange cough sound. Ka-chk! The screen turned blue.Then it died. It was dead.Ray's happy face turned sad. It turned very sad. Then it turned angry."My video! Ten hours of hard work! Gone! POOF!" Ray wanted to cry. He picked up Old Rusty."I hate you, turtle-computer!" Ray roared.
But he didn't throw it, He was too poor for new one. If he threw it, he would have nothing. Ray sat back down and covered his face with his hands. Ray thought. "I work so hard. Other boys are sleeping in nice beds. Other boys have fast laptops. They make videos about silly dances and get millions of likes.He opened his video channel on his phone. It showed his number: 92 Subscribers.
"Ninety-two people," Ray sighed. "Mostly my family, who thinks I am a tech support guy."Suddenly, his neighbor's fat cat, named Mr. Floof, jumped through Ray's open window. Mr. Floof was huge. He looked like a big orange ball of fur. He looked at Ray, sat on the smelly socks, and said, "Meow😉".
"Not now, Mr. Floof," Ray said. "The world hates me. I was born to struggle. The computer is dead. The video is gone."He decided to give up. He stood go to sleep. His dream of being a hero was over. He was just a smelly boy..Then, something magic happened. Or something strange.
Old Rusty, the dead computer, suddenly woke up! It didn't turn blue or black. It turned a strange, The room became very purple. It looked like a cosmic bubble gum had burst.Ray was shocked. Mr. Floof the cat froze like a fluffy statue.Text appeared on the purple screen. The text was glowing white. It looked very cool. It didn't say Saving video. It said:
[SYSTEM BOOTING...]
Ray blinked. "System booting? Did my computer turn into a robot?" and More text appeared:
[USER RECOGNIZED: RAY "THE STINKY TRUTH-SEEKER"]
Ray said, insulted. "I don't smell that bad! It's the socks! Don't call me stinky!"The text changed again:
[STRUGGLE LEVEL: EXTREME. DEDICATION LEVEL: MAX.]
"Chosen for what?" Ray asked, his voice shaking little. "Chosen for pizza delivery?"
Then, cool voice spoke from the laptop speakers. It did not sound like old. It sounded like a movie speaker. The voice was so powerful.The Voice said: Ray, you have struggled enough. The world has ignored the truth for too long. You wanted power to show the truth. Ray's eyes were as big as dinners plates. His mouth was wide open. A fly could have flown right in Power?
The Voice laughed. "Much more than that. I am the "Rule & Struggle System" . From now on, your life is not just a game of survival. It is a game of victory. The more you struggle, the more you rule. The first mission is ready."
Suddenly, a massive and bright glowing portal, like circle made of spinning purple stars & appeared in the middle of Ray's room. It was pulling his messy clothes inside! The smelly socks vanished into the portal. Mr. Floof the cat ran away quickly through the window.Ray was scared, but he was also super excited and do Something amazing was happening. His struggle was over! .
The voice boomed one last time: "Step into the portal, Ray. If you stay here, you will be nobody forever. If you step in, you will be a King and But be careful... the first King task is not easy. It's impossible!"
Ray looked at the big, spinning purple hole. It looked scary. But then he looked at his subscriber count: 92. And he thought about the sweet potato candy bombs. He was tired of being small but he wanted to be a hero. good bye i meet you next chapters.... be continue
