Chapter 3: Termination
"What the heck? Termination?" I asked to no one in specific.
[Ding] I see another message pop up which reads "Termination of the operator would be through lethal force"
"As if some game could kill me," I say smugly disregarding the fact the game responded to me. At that moment I feel something pressing up against the back of my head, it appears to be somewhat square with a cylindrical shape opening in the front.
"that's a... G-GUN!" I begin to panic, nearly hyperventilating I stutter some words out "f-FINE I-I'll do what you say just d-don't k-k-kill please"
I feel the pressure lift as I hear something fall to the ground with a thud.
[Ding] "Congratulations on drawing the SIG Sauer P320 please locate your firearm"
After quickly reading the message I whip around to find nothing but my room which is the same as when I woke up this morning: on the wall in which my door was situated I had a shelf full of games from various consoles including some from the disc drive era of PC gaming, to the right of my game shelf I had my twin-sized bed in the corner with a bedside table on the side of the bed facing away from the wall, on my bedside table there was an alarm clock and a couple of figurines but most of my figurines were on another shelf on the opposite wall next to my computer desk. On my computer desk, I had my dual, curved monitor setup along with my gaming PC, adorning my walls were various posters of popular FPS games and military movies, on the empty wall opposite my door there are a couple of large dressers holding all of my clothes, an entertainment center is situated nearby and, near the center of the room I spot the futon I use in place of a couch.
After inspecting my room and finding no one there I looked down and notice a small rectangular black case about 13 inches long and 9 inches tall. While picking up the case and placing it on my desk I kept telling myself it was there the whole time and that there would only be a game inside, I snap open the hard plastic latches on the case to find a handgun perfectly fitted in foam along with an included magazine on the top part of the lid there were empty spaces for 2 extra magazines placed horizontally and an empty ammo box placed vertically.
My heart is beating out of my chest, I have no idea what to do,
"oh god, this game is going to have me murder somebody. Oh my god, I'm going to be arrested! What if my mom finds out? I can't do this I'm only 16 how do you expect me to throw my life away now?"
If I don't do what this game says, then I'm going to be killed, there's no way out, what the hell! "GOD DAMN YOU SYSTEM YOU HAVE CONDEMNED ME TO DEATH"
[Ding]
"I have done no such thing; do you honestly think the police cares more than the bare minimum if you kill a bunch of criminals?"
"SHUT UP" I slam the gun case closed, lock both the latches and throw it under my bed. I walk over to my bed and throw myself onto it. Falling onto my bed I begin to think, I have to calm down. There is no other way, I have to kill or be killed.
[Ding]
"Naturally you are feeling scared about you first kill but none of your missions would be to directly kill an innocent person, hell you should be grateful after this tutorial you're on your own so buck up or be killed this is the last message you will receive from me you know what to do"
After hearing the ding, I get up from my shocked stupor and read the message, I just have to get my mind off of this but this isn't right. I continue to try and convince myself "They're criminals, murderers, and God only knows what else, they deserve what's coming to them." I say while shaking
"Yeah I g-got this," I say, my voice shaking, I steel my resolve and repeat under my breath "it's me or them." An hour passes by where I just sit and think. I feel I'm somewhat ready for what's next. I grab the case and head towards the computer. Sitting down in my chair once again I read through the messages and feel slightly better while reading the last one, it feels kind of endearing. Or it just catered to what I need right now, insurance and a bit of consoling. Nevertheless, I return to the missions and see 3 dated listings. My hands shaking I click through them. These missions are insane. The 3 missions are as follows:
