Chapter 3 - Chapter 3; Bet.

The heart felt light yet strong enough to get out of his skin--but the rib cage was holding it in. His palms were sweaty. The only thing that goes in his head is how, why, when? 

Yael, forced to calm down, his lungs dying and killing him to let the air go out quicker. The stale room tasted like dust and coffee. 

It's a glitch, a system reset, it happens usually...

He convinced himself--leaning back and turns himself on the chair to the computer and opens it. The usual blue purple glow hits his face--opening 

Settings.

Privacy and password. 

He realizes he was right. He enables it. 

System update: Friends only.

Save it? 

With a quick swift move he presses save. "See.." He runs a hand through his hair "Only, a system reset..for an update..right?" 

He stands up quickly and shuts the computer so he doesn't overthink the whole thing. He grabs the almost untouched food. He shoves them in the fridge and takes the rotten mustard out and puts it in the trash--turning around to the small apartment. The kitchen behind him..only 1.5 meters long. Onto his left was a bathroom. In front of him two meters away was his mattress-in front of the mattress was his gaming set-the gaming chair's back to the mattress. The front door to his right. 

Yael, walks up to his mattress-folds the blanket neatly for the first time in May. Cleans his old food containers and leftovers from fast food he had gotten throughout the week. 

Finally after he finishes--he calls his mom. After a few moments of his phone ringing in the silent home his mom picks up. With a calm voice his mom greets him. 

"Hey mom. How are you doing? Do you need any money or anything?" Yael asks softly

"I am fine, how are you? And darling no need to give me money." She says hastily. "I have to go-" The phone is cut off. 

At exactly 8.45 P.M--Yael opens his stream. There was 3.2 k Watching right now. As per usual, he starts with a mini game that has an end before going to the main game-DD. 

As per usual he started playing DD at 12.00 a.m exactly. He spawns at the HQ of Abiotrophia. 

The next boss deadline was nearing. He had to go to F-9 Gateway, and get the Bismuth Crystal. 

He was at D-7 land. The route from D-7 to E-2 Was the fastest route to F-9. But the thing was that

E-2 land was an airplane graveyard. It was eerie, the air there wasn't good, it was humid. And there were reports that the players who went there were never seen again. 

Some people came up with theories that, the players account was deleted, or that they got lost. But seeing how you can teleport from one place to another, it was pretty unusual for someone to get 'lost.' But the most reasonable one was that the players died, because of some hidden monster or creature. But Yael thought there was a glitch. 

He was willing to risk it all. 

Eggs_Dek20 "Omg. He's gonna go through the forbidden route !!"

thorno_PaX "You're never going to return."

It was the same guy who asked the weird question. Yael raised a brow. "You sure, Pax? What if i prove you wrong?" 

Yael's eyes widened the chat went wild when thorno_PaX had answered;

thorno_PaX "I'll give you half a million if you prove me wrong. But don't say i didn't warn ya." 

Vux_Fox2443 "THAT'S WILD" 

Yael cracked his fingers one by one, leaning to the mic. "Bet." This was once in a lifetime, he couldn't lose the chance, not only would he gain subs, but get money. He'd be the first one to get out of that so-called haunted place.
